Luo Chen shouted sharply, and with a swift movement, he lifted the little dancer up and made her lead the way.
The dancer had no choice but to obey, but she was about to lead Luo Chen to Dong Shuni's bedchamber when a graceful figure suddenly emerged from the side hall.
Chapter 344 Dong Shuni
The moment this figure appeared, it immediately drew everyone's attention.
The woman was dressed in a long, flowing silk gown, her eyes bright and beautiful, like luminous pearls in the night. Through the sheer fabric, her skin was as white as snow, unusually fair, a striking contrast against her black attire. Her eyebrows were like fine black silk, and her flowing black hair was styled in a high bun, a wisp of bangs gently framing her forehead. Her eyes were upturned and high-set. Most striking were her perfectly proportioned, straight nose and slightly high cheekbones, exuding an air of haughtiness yet retaining a certain charm.
Her posture was elegant and graceful.
This woman was none other than Dong Shuni, whom Luo Chen had come to find!
"Ah! Your Majesty?"
After walking out of the side hall, Dong Shuni was also taken aback. She only wanted to come to the main hall to see her uncle, but she never expected to run into the current emperor as soon as she came out!
"Shuni! Kneel down before His Majesty!"
Seeing that Dong Shuni was just standing there dumbfounded, Wang Shichong quickly reminded her.
"Ah! Shuni greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty..."
Dong Shuni spoke in a panic and was about to kneel down on the ground.
But before her tender knees even touched the ground, she was immediately pulled up by Luo Chen's large hand.
"Well..."
Dong Shuni was pulled and stumbled, losing her balance and falling into Luo Chen's arms, her chest pressing hard against his.
"Beauty doesn't need to kneel! Just come into my arms!"
With a domineering shout, Luo Chen grabbed Dong Shuni's slender waist tightly with his large hand and burst into laughter.
"Ah! Your Majesty, this humble woman... Your Majesty, please release this humble woman! This humble woman is still a virgin!"
When Luo Chen suddenly pulled her into his arms, Dong Shuni cried out in surprise and embarrassment.
"Your Majesty! Release my niece! This old minister is willing to accept all punishments on her behalf!" When Wang Shichong saw Dong Shuni being bullied by Luo Chen like this, he immediately knelt down and crawled over, wanting to ask Luo Chen to release Dong Shuni.
"Damn it! You old bastard! You've already committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, your life is no longer your own, what are you trying to take the fall for! You think I'd like you? Damn it!"
Immediately, Luo Chen raised his big foot again and kicked Wang Shichong to the ground.
Then he hugged Dong Shuni tightly and kissed her on her small, peach-like mouth!
"Well..."
Caught off guard, Dong Shuni was suddenly kissed so fiercely by Luo Chen, and she was immediately filled with shame and anger. She was extremely proud and resentful. She had known since childhood that Emperor Yang of Sui, Luo Chen, was a tyrant, so she hated Luo Chen very much.
But now, things have turned out differently. She was forcibly kissed by Luo Chen. Her heart was filled with sorrow, and tears of sadness immediately streamed down her beautiful eyes!
"Your Majesty! I beg you! Please don't make things difficult for Shuni! This old minister will be grateful!"
Wang Shichong roared and lunged at Luo Chen again.
Yuwen Huaji reacted swiftly, stepping forward and stomping his foot on Wang Shichong's face, pinning it to the ground. He roared, "You audacious Wang Shichong! How dare you lay a hand on His Majesty! You have a death wish!"
Luo gave Yuwen Huaji an appreciative look, then continued to kiss Dong Shuni passionately.
But Dong Shuni struggled fiercely, trying to break free from Luo Chen's embrace. This displeased Luo Chen.
I've gone to such lengths to get you, and you're still putting on airs with me, huh?
Damn it, Luo Chen immediately slapped Dong Shuni on the back, making a deafening "smack!"
The sound was incredibly clear and resonated throughout the entire hall. At the same time, Dong Shuni let out a heart-wrenching scream!
A look of utter despair immediately appeared on her little face.
"Hmph! You two, an uncle and a niece, are really damn stubborn! Today I'll show you that only submission means survival! If you dare to be stubborn with me, hehe, that will only fuel my desire to conquer!"
As he spoke, Luo Chen's demon blood immediately began to boil.
"You lot, bring those screens over here!" Luo Chen shouted at the dancers.
Upon hearing this, the dancers dared not delay and busily carried over several screens. Under Luo Chen's instruction, the dancers arranged the screens in a circular pattern.
Luo Chen grabbed Dong Shuni's black hair with his large hand and dragged her directly into the circular area behind the screen!
"Damn it, you still dare to struggle, huh! Yuwen Huaji, immediately chop down that old dog Wang Shichong!"
Luo Chen was furious and immediately gave the order.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Huaji immediately raised his sword.
"Ah! No! Your Majesty, please don't! I, Dong Shuni, will do whatever you say!"
Seeing that her uncle was about to be killed, Dong Shuni immediately lost her spirit.
"Damn it, you made me use my trump card! Here, put my middle finger in your mouth!" Luo Chen roared and pressed his middle finger against Dong Shuni's mouth.
"Your Majesty, I..."
Dong Shuni looked at Luo Chen's outstretched middle finger and immediately felt both ashamed and afraid. How could she possibly put it in public like that?
"Yuwen Huaji! Kill him!" Luo Chen didn't want to give Dong Shuni any time to be coy, and immediately gave the order.
"Ah, Your Majesty, no! Ouch..."
Dong Shuni was terrified and quickly put Luo Chen's middle finger into her mouth, afraid that if she was too slow, her uncle would die because of her!
"Hahaha! Now that's more like my woman! I'm going to drag you behind the screen. If you dare let go of my fingers, Yuwen Huaji's blade will immediately chop off that old dog Wang Shichong's head!"
Luo Chen roared angrily at Dong Shuni's current appearance, which resembled that of a little bitch.
But Luo Chen was furious when Dong Shuni didn't say anything after he finished speaking. He slapped Dong Shuni on the back, making her cry.
"Mmm..." Dong Shuni, unable to speak with Luo Chen's finger in her mouth, could only make muffled sounds.
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen realized that it wasn't that Dong Shuni wasn't answering him, but rather that she couldn't answer.
Uh... Luo Chen was slightly embarrassed, then used his middle finger to forcefully drag Dong Shuni behind the screen, like fishing! ...
Chapter 345 The Generous Fallen Dust
A moment later, a rustling sound came from inside the screen, and soon, pieces of cloth were thrown out by Luo Chen.
Soon, strange noises began to emanate from behind the screen, making everyone present feel quite embarrassed.
No one expected that the emperor would have such a unique hobby!
"No! Your Majesty! Please, please release Shuni!"
Upon hearing these sounds, Wang Shichong was on the verge of collapse!
In fact, Wang Shichong's great affection for Dong Shuni was not only due to familial affection, but also because he felt a strange kind of "elderly love" for her!
He had long regarded Dong Shuni as his own possession and wanted to marry her as a concubine when she turned eighteen!
But now, he watched helplessly as his beloved was taken by Luo Chen, and his heart was breaking!
Just when everyone thought this was Luo Chen's limit, they heard Luo Chen's shouting voice coming from behind the screen: "Damn it! Shout it out! Shout it out! You're like a dead fish, if you don't shout it out I'll kill your uncle right now!"
The next moment, everyone heard Dong Shuni's desperate and beautiful cry.
Three hours later, Luo Chen kicked the screen open, revealing a figure who had tidied up.
But when everyone looked closely, they were shocked. What was going on? Why was it just the emperor?
"Ah! Your Majesty, where is my Shuni?"
Wang Shichong was the most panicked. Even though Luo Chen had taken his first time, Wang Shichong was still willing to take over.
But now, how come there's not a single person left? How can he possibly take over the business?
"Your Majesty, what about Miss Dong Shuni?" Yuwen Huaji was also very surprised and asked subconsciously.
Luo Chen pursed his lips, thinking to himself that these bumpkins had never seen the world, and then pointed to his big mouth and said, "I ate it!"
Upon hearing this, everyone knew that Luo Chen didn't want to talk about it, so they didn't dare to ask any further.
"Your Majesty! I beg you, please give Shuni back to me! I beg you! She is my precious life, I want to see her alive or dead!"
Wang Shichong actually grabbed Luo Chen's leg and begged him desperately.
"Damn it, what a blind bastard!"
Luo Chen was disgusted by what he saw, so he immediately raised his foot and stomped on Wang Shichong's head until it was smashed!
This stomp, seemingly stepping on Wang Shichong's head, also stepped on the hearts of everyone present!
Especially Yuwen Huaji, Li Yuan, and Dugu Feng. They were able to climb to such high positions not because they were stupid. If Luo Chen treated Wang Shichong this way today, he might very well treat them the same way in the future!
Luo Chen's kick immediately put everyone on guard!
Luo Chen glanced over and naturally saw what everyone was thinking. He laughed and went straight to the point: "You three don't need to be wary of me! I killed him just to steal this little beauty, Dong Shuni!"
As for his territory, his soldiers, and his wealth, I don't want any of it.
"You three have rendered meritorious service in assisting my campaign! Wang Shichong's fiefdom, wealth, and soldiers will all be equally distributed among you! Now, send your soldiers to raid Wang Shichong's stronghold!"
Hearing Luo Chen say this, the three of them felt a little more at ease.
They were also greatly surprised by Luo Chen's decision!
They originally thought that Luo Chen might not want fiefdoms or soldiers, since fiefdoms need to be managed and soldiers need to be paid a lot of money!
However, Wang Shichong's fortune! That's a considerable sum! The three of them originally thought that Luo Chen would definitely take it all!
To their utter surprise, Luo Chen didn't even want a single penny of Wang Shichong's assets, which shocked them all. They had no idea what Luo Chen was up to!
"Your Majesty! The national treasury is now completely empty. Why not leave some money to replenish it?"
The old eunuch who came with Luo Chen was afraid that Luo Chen was just making a fuss, so he quickly came to his side and whispered some words of advice.
Luo Chen laughed and said, "Damn it! Money is nothing! The three ministers have made great contributions to this expedition. If I were to take even a tael of silver, wouldn't that discourage you all?"
These words immediately made Yuwen Huaji, Dugu Feng, and Li Yuan blush and realize that they had been too obsessed with profit.
Immediately, Yuwen Huaji spoke up: "Your Majesty, although I, Yuwen Huaji, sent a large army to accompany you on this expedition, I didn't actually help much. This city... was won by Your Majesty alone! And Wang Shichong was killed by Your Majesty with your own hands!"
"If Your Majesty doesn't take a single penny, then I, Yuwen Huaji, dare not take any!"
"Yes! Your Majesty's prestige was fully demonstrated in this expedition. We are ashamed. Please, Your Majesty, take at least half of Wang Shichong's wealth to replenish the national treasury!" Li Yuan said, his face flushed.
"Your Majesty! I, Dugu Feng, am willing to forgo my share and offer it all to Your Majesty! Your Majesty's daily eating, drinking, and entertainment all cost money!" Dugu Feng quickly expressed his opinion.
"Hahaha! My beloved ministers, you are all my right-hand men. What I say you must take! Otherwise, you will be punished for deceiving the emperor!"
With a wave of his sleeve, Luo Chen resolutely refused!
This completely stunned the three of them. Not a single penny? Holy crap, that's terrifying!
For a moment, all three men felt that something was amiss, and none of them dared to order their men to raid Wang Shichong's house.
But is Luo Chen really that generous that he doesn't want a single penny?
Obviously not! Without money, Luo Chen's men couldn't build an army, let alone squander it!
Just because the national treasury doesn't mean other places don't have it!
At least, Luo Chen knew that there was a treasure trove of gold and silver in the world of *Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty*: the location of the sealed Evil King Shi Zhixuan's tomb—the Yang Gong Treasure Vault! Luo Chen had already decided to find some time to visit the Yang Gong Treasure Vault and bring back all that gold and silver! With so much wealth, Luo Chen naturally didn't care about Wang Shichong's small sum.
Chapter 346 Cool, Arrogant, and Booming
A few days later, the group returned to the capital in triumph!
Luo Chen's reputation spread quickly, and everyone knew that he had killed Wang Shichong, a veteran minister of several dynasties, just to snatch a beautiful woman!
This was a complete tyrant!
However, Yuwen Huaji, Dugu Feng, and Li Yuan became even more supportive of Luo Chen!
The three of them leading troops on this expedition was like Xu Hun being dragged along to fight; they did nothing but get a huge amount of money, soldiers, and fiefdoms for nothing.
With such a good master, how could they not support him?
Furthermore, after learning that Luo Chen loved beautiful women, everyone began to find beautiful women to offer to Luo Chen for his enjoyment.
