Wuxia: The Super Slave Master

Thinking of this, Fu Junzhuo immediately answered Luo Chen.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, a wicked smile flashed in his eyes, followed by a wide grin: "Fine! Since you like it so much! Then I'll grant your wish! Hahaha!"

"Ah! You...you demon! No! No...ah!"

Amid Fu Junzhuo's angry shouts, Luo Chen began to increase his loyalty to him again!

Of course, it's the extremely brutal kind!

Time flew by, and it was the next morning. Luo Chen took Fu Junzhuo into the Demon King's Space, and then dressed her with the help of palace maids.

It has to be said that wearing this ancient emperor's robe must have been incredibly cold and troublesome; it took me at least twenty minutes to put it on!

Luo Chen then attended the morning court session.

Upon arriving at the Golden Palace, Luo Chen had barely sat down on the dragon throne when he asked, "Has that old bastard Wang Shichong arrived yet? Damn it, it's been three days already! That old bastard promised to send his niece to me for my enjoyment, why hasn't he come yet?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of His Highness's ministers all changed drastically!

Originally, everyone just thought Luo Chen was a cruel and tyrannical ruler, but now everyone seems to think that they have given Luo too high a rating. He is simply a lecherous and cruel tyrannical ruler!

Moreover, throughout history, there has never been anyone who has spoken such vulgar words in the main hall, openly declaring that they wanted to enjoy the niece of a high-ranking official!

The old minister Yang Su immediately couldn't stand it anymore. He stepped forward and advised, "Your Majesty! Historically, no monarch has ever openly declared in the palace that he wanted to sleep with a minister's niece. You…" "What? Yang Su, you old fool, are you trying to control me now? No one in history has done that, but I'm making history right now! Damn it! You all just talk! Learn from General Yuwen, those few days ago General Yuwen…"

I absolutely loved that Korean sashimi! I ate it for three days and three nights and still wanted more! Haha!

Luo Chen laughed loudly, then said directly, "Guards! General Yuwen has rendered meritorious service! He deserves a reward!"

"You deserve a reward!"

The old eunuch standing nearby also shouted.

After a moment, seeing that Luo Chen had no further reaction, the old eunuch lowered his head meekly and asked Luo Chen, "Your Majesty, what will be the reward?"

"What should I reward? Damn, what do I usually reward?" Luo Chen didn't know what to reward, he just shouted it out in a moment of joy.

"Your Majesty, we usually reward people with gold and silver treasures, but the national treasury has been empty for a long time and we have no money left." The old eunuch explained the actual situation in detail.

"The national treasury is empty? I'm the emperor, and I'm still a poor emperor! Come on, hand over my Imperial Seal. I'm going to reward General Yuwen properly now that I'm in power!"

Luo Chen said casually.

This shout immediately startled the old eunuch standing nearby, causing him to kneel on the ground. Then, all the civil and military officials in the court knelt down in unison.

"Your Majesty! No! Your Majesty!"

One by one, the veteran ministers shouted, "What a joke! Becoming the Imperial Seal of the State?"

Not only did the ministers disagree, but even Yuwen Huaji dared not accept it!

Yuwen Huaji immediately knelt on the ground, terrified, and cried, "Your Majesty! You mustn't! You're taking my life!" Seeing this, Luo Chen laughed heartily and said, "Good! General Yuwen is indeed thinking of me. Your reward will be on my tab for now. I'll pay you back when I have the money!"

Chapter 342 I'm Going to Lead the Army Personally

"Alright, my esteemed ministers, now it's time to discuss that scoundrel Wang Shichong. That old bastard promised to send me his niece, but he ran away. Tell me, how should I deal with this old dog?"

Luo Chen looked at the assembled civil and military officials and shouted loudly.

At this time, many people were unwilling to offend any of the four major powers, but the people in the four major powers all wanted to attack each other.

Meanwhile, the Dugu Clan has secretly allied with the Yuwen Clan, and is even serving the Yuwen Clan.

The clan leader, Dugu Feng, immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands to Luo Chen, and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the old fox Wang Shichong is disloyal to you and should be punished!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, Wang Shichong is arrogant and thinks he has troops and fiefdoms, so he completely disregards Your Majesty. In my opinion, we should take this opportunity to eliminate him in one fell swoop!"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Huaji immediately stood up and spoke with righteous indignation.

"Your Majesty! I believe this matter should not be taken lightly. Firstly, Wang Shichong has a large and powerful army under his command. Secondly, I believe that Wang Shichong was forced into this situation by you..."

Ma Shumou stepped forward, speaking earnestly and sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen frowned and looked at Ma Shumou, shouting, "Damn it! You dog! You mean to blame me? What's wrong with me, the ruler of the world, taking a fancy to a woman?"

"You're pleading for Wang Shichong, aren't you? Fine, then tell me, does General Ma have any young and beautiful daughters or nieces? If General Ma sends me a few, I'll spare that old dog Wang Shichong!"

Luo Chen's gaze swept across the entire court of civil and military officials, and wherever his eyes fell, everyone immediately lowered their heads.

Upon hearing this, Ma Shumou breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I have two sons, but I have not been able to give Your Majesty a beautiful daughter. Moreover, I have no nieces. I am ashamed, Your Majesty!"

How I wish I could share Your Majesty's burdens! But I am truly powerless to do so!

"Oh? I didn't expect General Ma to be so considerate of me. He is truly a loyal and worthy minister!" Luo Chen nodded, very satisfied.

Upon hearing this, Ma Shumou was overjoyed, thinking to himself that he had received praise from the emperor. Although it was of no practical use, it was certainly a great honor!

However, Luo Chen's next words immediately turned Ma Shumou's face green!

Luo Chen said, "Since General Ma is so considerate of me, then I will give you a chance. Do you have any beautiful wives or concubines at home? I don't care, just send over the prettiest one!"

"what?"

Upon hearing Luo's words, not only was Ma Shumou dumbfounded, but even the civil and military officials were stunned. This... the emperor can play like this?

A moment later, low sneers rippled through the officials, who thought to themselves, "You old codger, Ma Shumou, you wanted to show off in front of the emperor, and now look what happened! You've dug yourself into a hole!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I have no beautiful wives or concubines. My household is full of old and ugly women who cannot meet Your Majesty's standards!"

Ma Shumou quickly began to explain loudly.

At this moment, Yuwen Huaji, who was always eager for a good show, suddenly continued, "Your Majesty! General Ma's family has recently taken a concubine named Dong, who is extremely beautiful and is known as the 'Sister of Beauty.' Your Majesty can order General Ma to hand her over to show his loyalty!"

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials were both amused and exasperated, thinking to themselves that Yuwen Huaji was too wicked, actually revealing Ma Shumou's favorite concubine. Wasn't this going to cost Ma Shumou his life?

"Haha! General Ma is indeed thinking of me! Quick, go back now and send your concubine to me!" Luo Chen laughed and pointed at Ma Shumou, shouting loudly.

"Ah! Your Majesty, please show leniency! My feelings for Lady Dong are genuine, we cannot be separated, otherwise this old minister will fall ill!"

Ma Shumou immediately knelt on the ground and begged Ali for mercy.

"Alright! General Ma, fine if you're unwilling, but you're not exactly the kind of guy who wants to think about me. Actually, I was just testing you on purpose. I'm not going to eat the rest of what you've left!"

Luo Chen flicked his sleeve, signaling that Ma Shumou could get up.

"Yes, yes! Thank you, Your Majesty, I know my crime!" Ma Shumou stood up obsequiously, not daring to say another word.

However, Luo Chen looked at Ma Shumou with a grin and said, "General Ma, didn't you just plead for Wang Shichong? Why are you silent now?"

"Your Majesty, it's a misunderstanding! Wang Shichong clearly promised to give your niece to Your Majesty, but he went back on his word and is utterly wicked! I absolutely agree with General Yuwen and General Dugu's advice. We should send troops to beat him up and let him know that the imperial authority is inviolable!"

After what just happened, no one dared to say a single word that Luo Chen didn't like, and immediately followed Luo Chen's words and took a picture.

"Hmm! General Ma is at least able to admit his mistakes and correct them. You may step down now!"

Luo Chen nodded, then looked at Li Yuan with a peculiar gaze that made Li Yuan feel uneasy and terrified.

"Your Majesty~"

Feeling uneasy under Luo Chen's gaze, Li Yuan took the initiative and said, "Your Majesty, please feel free to give your orders."

"Hehe! Duke Tang is indeed considerate of me. I was originally thinking of asking you to send your beautiful daughter, Li Xiuning, to me. Since you are so sensible, let's put the matter of Li Xiuning aside for now!"

"I've decided to fight that bastard Wang Shichong. Duke Tang, do you want to send troops?"

Luo Chen squinted and chuckled.

"Yes! Yes! Your Majesty, I, Li Yuan, am willing to share Your Majesty's burdens and fight against that disloyal scoundrel Wang Shichong!" Li Yuan's body trembled, thinking to himself, how could I disagree? If I disagree, he'll have to send my daughter away; that's practically forcing me!

"Very well! Since all of you civil and military officials share the same goal, then I've made the decision. Tomorrow, we'll muster the troops on the battlefield. General Yuwen, General Dugu, and Duke Tang, each of you will send 50,000 soldiers. I will personally lead the expedition!" Luo Chen stood up with an air of dominance and shouted.

Chapter 343 Such a City Breakthrough

A personal expedition?

The civil and military officials were all stunned. To personally lead an army just to win over a minister's niece? This...this is unbelievable!

"What? You have a problem with this? Let me see, who has a fresh-faced daughter and a tender niece..."

Luo Chen's eyes shone as he stared at the faces of the civil and military officials one by one.

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, none of the civil and military officials dared to utter a single word of dissent. They immediately shouted "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

A few days later, Luo Chen led an army of 150,000 men, along with Yuwen Huaji, Dugu Feng, and Li Yuan, and marched in a grand procession toward Wang Shichong's fiefdom.

Soon, Luo Chen led his army to the city gates. He personally stood before the enemy lines and shouted, "Wang Shichong! You dog thief! You promised to have your women, Dong Shuni, serve me. How could you run away after making that promise? You dog thief, I'm here to kill you right now!"

Luo Chen's shouts shook the heavens, immediately drawing the attention of all the soldiers on the city walls.

These soldiers were all Wang Shichong's men, but when they saw that the person shouting was actually Emperor Yang of Sui, Luo Chen, they were all so frightened that they wet themselves!

"What are you looking at? Open the city gates right now! Otherwise, I'll slaughter your whole family after I break through the city!"

Luo Chen waited as the soldiers on the city wall began to curse loudly.

These soldiers were opportunists; how could they dare disobey the emperor's orders?

Suddenly, you looked at me, the Demon King, and then at you...

The next moment, the general guarding the city sighed and said, "Alas... we are just a bunch of lowly soldiers. What difference does it make whose soldiers we are? Even if we surrender, the emperor won't kill us. Open the city gates quickly!"

Creak! Creak! Creak! ...

As the massive city gates were slowly lowered, the city was opened to the public.

"This……"

Yuwen Huaji was dumbfounded when he saw the wide-open city gate. Could a city really be breached like this?

"His Majesty truly possesses the majesty of an emperor; with a single roar, no one dares disobey!"

Li Yuan seized the opportunity to flatter him.

"Your Majesty, just give the order, and I will take this city for you immediately!"

Dugu Feng was also demonstrating his loyalty!

But in reality, everyone knows that those who rush into the city first will be the first to loot.

"What's the point of charging? The city has already fallen! Yuwen Huaji, you take five thousand elite troops and come with me into the city. I'm going to capture that old dog Wang Shichong and demand justice for him!"

Luo Chen waved his sleeve and walked away first, as if he were the one who had been wronged.

Yuwen Huaji was astonished to see that His Majesty had gone so far. He immediately waved his hand and led five thousand elite soldiers to follow.

Inside the city lord's mansion, Wang Shichong was unaware that the city had fallen. He was enjoying the song and dance performances, with his concubines feeding him wine and fruit. He was living a very comfortable life!

But the next moment, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the main hall.

Wang Shichong was immediately displeased and shouted, "Who dares to be so bold as to trespass on my city lord's mansion!"

"what!"

"what!"

With several screams, several guards from the city lord's mansion were killed, and then a large group of soldiers rushed in, led by Luo Chen!

"Damn it! Wang Shichong, you bastard, I'm here!"

Luo Chen stood casually in the main hall and started cursing at Wang Shichong.

The moment Wang Shichong saw Luo Chen, his face turned green with fright. He never expected that Luo Chen would actually attack him for the sake of a woman, and even lead the army in person!

This is... illogical!

"Your Majesty! Your humble servant was unaware of Your Majesty's arrival and has failed to greet you properly. I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Wang Shichong, now at his wit's end, immediately knelt down, kowtowing and begging for mercy, attempting to win Luo Chen's leniency through his pitiful state. But Luo Chen stepped forward and kicked Wang Shichong to the ground, roaring furiously, "Atonement? Atone for what?! I brought so many soldiers to fight you, and you think you can just kowtow and I'll let it go? You kneel down first, and I'll deal with you later! Your niece..."

Where is Dong Shuni?

"Your Majesty! I...I..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shichong's heart sank, and he did not immediately reveal Dong Shuni's whereabouts.

"You're not going to say it, are you?"

Luo Chen sneered, then grabbed a young dancer from the side and slapped her across the face, demanding, "Tell me, where is Dong Shuni?"

The dancer dared not disobey Luo Chen, and having been slapped so hard she was completely disoriented, she quickly replied, "In Miss Shuni's bedchamber!"

"Damn it, lead the way! My golden cudgel is itching for a fight!"
