Chapter 413 Denial
ld have to impersonate Zhao Li because he excelled at disguises.So when the prince told him to come along, he knew what his next mission was.But... But he still thought he could kill that damn Zhao Li...An Fujiang was already unconscious at this point, he struggled to open his eyes, "Emper...or."
The Emperor frowned, forcing down his discomfort, and said coldly, "There is no need for ceremony. Quickly tell me what is going on!"
This Assistant General is really on the verge of collapse. The Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard, Lin Qingwen, glanced at the Emperor and, upon receiving his approval, quickly spoke up. "Assistant General An, you want to say that you were attacked"
An Fujiang nodded slightly.
Lin Qingwen: "Who attacked you"
"North..."
"The Northern Border Army"
Lin Qingwen looked at the emperor, whose face was as dark as thunder. The emperor still didn't believe it!
Even if the Northern Border army mobilized all its soldiers to attack his hundred thousand troops, it would be impossible to wipe them out within a few hours!
Lin Qingwen felt a pang of sympathy in his heart. In his view, An, the deputy general, was already at his wit's end and there was absolutely no need to lie at this point.
So it really was the Northern Border Army who attacked them, but how did the Northern Border Army manage to do that
Lin Qingwen clenched his fists slightly, "Deputy General An, what happened to your injuries What caused them"
An Fujiang shook his head, he had no idea what it was at all.
He only heard a series of deafening explosions, then watched in horror as the people around him instantly turned to ash and were consumed by flames!
Even now, when he thinks about these scenes, he can't accept them. He closes his eyes with difficulty and takes a deep breath.
...with his last breath, he whispered, "North... has a secret... weapon, powerful..."
After stammering his words, General An fainted completely. His breathing was slowly weakening now.
Seeing him on the brink of death, Lin Qingwen couldn't help but sigh.
A-fu, in this state, there's no saving him.
Lin Qingwen glanced at the emperor. The emperor's eyes were thoughtful as he stared at An Fubiang's rotten leg, which bore traces of burning. Then, he waved his hand, signaling for the soldiers to carry him away.
Continuing to look at General An, the emperor felt himself on the verge of vomiting again.
Lin Qingwen pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, I believe An Subgeneral was trying to say that the northern army possesses a secret weapon, one with immense power."
The emperor turned his head, his sharp and gloomy eyes fixed on An Xuetang and the others below the imperial city.
He suddenly felt uneasy.
The Emperor clenched his fists, “General Lin, do you believe me”
Lin Qingwen's heart tightened. He quickly replied, "Your Majesty, the moment I saw General Anfu, I dispatched our most agile soldiers to leave the city immediately and investigate. Within a quarter of an hour, they will be able to send back a report."
"Where is the prince Have you heard anything about him"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have not received any news of the Crown Prince's return to the capital."
That is to say, after Pan Shu left Dàyuè City, he never returned.
Even the Emperor, seemingly caught in thought, stumbled backward a few steps.
Lin Qingtian quickly helped him up, "Your Majesty, are you alright"
The emperor raised his hand, signaling him to step back. Lin Qingwen could only take two steps back, letting the emperor stand on his own.
At this time, An Xue Tang and Mo Jun Yi in the city below naturally saw them talking and discussing something up there.
An Xuetang had good eyesight, she took in the Emperor's expressions one by one, a slight smile curving her lips.
This emperor, probably already knows the final outcome of his hundred thousand army.
At this time, Xún Hóng had also come to An Xuě Táng's side and reported the matter from the mountains to her.
An Xuetang listened and nodded in seeming agreement, "Xunhong, your suggestion is good. After all, war isn't something soldiers always want to do. They are forced into it. These days, they just grab strong men from villages to fill their ranks. There's no other way."
Since they are willing to surrender, let's do as Xun Hong suggests and make them completely forget their identities.
Let those who are seriously injured find their own place to live again.
And as for those who can still fight on the battlefield, let them forget that they were once soldiers of Dayue. We shall take them as our own, after all, the Northern Border army needs to grow stronger!
An Xuetang immediately instructed Xun Hong to prepare the amnesia drug, requiring at least hundreds of thousands of doses.
Xun Hong didn't understand why An Xue Tang needed so many memory loss pills, but she knew she had to get them done now.
Getting ready for hundreds of thousands of people isn't easy.
An Xuetang glanced at Xunluo lurking beneath the imperial city. Seeing that he was ready and had already pinpointed the position of Emperor Dayue, she curled her lips.
It's time to strike while the iron is hot.
She glanced thoughtfully at the emperor atop the imperial city, then turned to Mo Junyi:
"Ziling, Mother feels that the Emperor of Dàyuè Country's words are true and false. Your mother... perhaps truly has connections with Dàyuè Country. Given this situation, do you still wish to continue"
Here, ‘continue’, Mo Junyi understands what it means. As long as ‘continue’, the emperor above must die!
Mo Junyi didn't hesitate and nodded, "Mother, I've thought it through. I definitely have to continue. Whether what he said is true or false, in me and my father's eyes, it must be false. Today, what he said, I will make it clear. No one is allowed to mention it. I am a pure and genuine citizen of the Tianba Nation."
"My father was not deceived either. He did not love a princess from the grand Yue country, but an ordinary woman from the Tianba country."
"This emperor above, today I shall personally kill him with my own hands, avenging my father!"
Since he had made up his mind not to acknowledge this matter, An Xuetang naturally wouldn't say anything more.
Actually, she also felt that not acknowledging this would be much better, saving a lot of trouble.
Mo Junyi glanced at Yun Wu, who nodded slightly. He raised his sword and shouted to the people on the city wall, "Those above, everyone in the palace, listen! As long as you are willing to surrender, our kind and benevolent young master will never massacre innocents."
The emperor on the imperial city heard Yun Wu's words, his brows furrowed and he sneered, "The Northern Border army, what a bold statement! A mere few tens of thousands of troops dare to speak so arrogantly!"
Mo Junyi chuckled, "You dog emperor, even if the crown prince only brought a thousand men today, it would be enough to level your palace. However, this prince doesn't want to be so cruel today, so I'll give you a chance. Surrender peacefully and you won't meet death."
Mo Junyi finished speaking and looked at Yun Wu. Yun Wu immediately understood his meaning and picked up a package from the side.
Without a word, he hurled the enemy upward with his inner strength. The soldiers on the palace walls were startled and quickly protected the emperor.
Lin Qingwen drew his sword and slashed the package Yun Wu had thrown, splitting it in half.
But after splitting it, the package landed before him. Seeing the thing split in two, he instantly turned pale.
Other soldiers' faces changed drastically as well!hen he learned last night that the Crown Prince was preparing to enter the palace, he tried every means to persuade him to bring him along when the Crown Prince entered the palace today.But perhaps th...
