Chapter 515: Chapter 217: Attributes Soaring from Pickups! Triumph News Reaches Xianyang!
“The Donghu foreign tribes have been incompatible with our Huaxia since ancient times. In the days when various countries coexisted, they even signed an alliance: if the foreign tribes invade, we shall punish them together.”
“If our Yan, in order to resist Qin, were to bring foreign tribes within our borders, even if we manage to repel the Qin army, the world would shame our Yan Kingdom, and our royal family would be scorned for generations.”
“Great King.”
“Even if the country is destroyed, our entire Yan must unite against Qin to the end, fighting until the last soldier falls.”
“But the infamy of colluding with foreign tribes, Great King must never bear, and our Yan Kingdom must never bear.”
“Minister concurs.”
“Great King must never collude with the Donghu, otherwise our Yan will become the sinner of the entire Huaxia ethnic group.”
“Please consider carefully, Great King.”
“We are willing to die with our Yan, but colluding with foreign tribes is never to be done.”
“Once colluding with foreign tribes, there will be no redemption…”
One by one, the ministers stood out, all looking solemn as they reported to the King of Yan.
In the court.
Almost half the ministers stood out to advise.
Witnessing the scene before him.
The King of Yan slowly spoke: “Colluding with foreign tribes is an act of forgetting our ancestors, and I will not do such a thing.”
“General Sima, there is no need to discuss this matter further.”
Upon hearing this.
Sima Lin stepped back somewhat disappointedly: “I understand, my lord.”
“Dear ministers.”
“The Qin has plainly aimed to destroy our Yan.”
“I hope the ministers will join forces to resist Qin.”
“Only in this way will the ministers retain their wealth. Otherwise, on the day Qin breaks the city, all of you will become prisoners.”
The King of Yan spoke in a somewhat admonishing tone.
Ignoring what the ministers in the court were thinking.
“That’s enough.”
“Court is dismissed.”
The King of Yan waved his hand, stood up with a somber expression, and left the main hall.
“We respectfully see off the Great King,” the ministers of Yan shouted in unison.
In the rear hall of the Yan King’s Palace!
“How long has it been since Wu Yang last sent word back?”
The moment he returned to the palace, the King of Yan looked at the intelligence minister under his command and asked.
“Replying to the Great King.”
“Since Qin destroyed Wei, Princess Wuyang has not sent any messages back.” The dark guard in front of the King of Yan immediately responded.
Upon hearing this!
The King of Yan frowned: “Why wasn’t this reported earlier?”
“Please calm your anger, Great King.”
The dark guard immediately knelt down: “After Qin destroyed Wei, Qin General Zhao Feng returned to Xianyang. Princess Wuyang reported that after Zhao Feng returned home, it was difficult to send messages, so I did not pay attention.”
The King of Yan’s expression was cold, and his face was cloaked with a layer of darkness, filled with anger and murderous intent: “Wu Yang, she has the nerve to betray me.”
At just a thought.
The King of Yan naturally understood the sequence of events and immediately realized that Wu Yang was no longer listening to him.
The so-called lurking assassination.
Perhaps it was never possible.
“Great King, could it be?”
“How dare the princess betray?”
“After all, the princess’s birth mother… is still in the palace.”
The dark guard kneeling on the ground replied respectfully.
“Women who marry out indeed change.”
“I have treated her and her mother with such kindness, yet she dares to betray me.”
“Go.”
“Have Wu Yang’s mother, and even everyone in her palace, beaten to death.”
In a fit of rage, the King of Yan shouted.
The leader of the Imperial Guard Army, who was on duty outside, immediately accepted the order: “I receive the decree.”
“Great King.”
“Should we not investigate further?”
“If the princess has not betrayed Yan, wouldn’t it be a disaster?” The dark guard asked anxiously.
“She hasn’t sent any messages for months. If I had known in advance about Zhao Feng’s intention to attack our Yan, how could we be in such a pitiful state?”
“If that rebellious daughter had killed Zhao Feng, how could our Yan be attacked?” The King of Yan said angrily.
The dark guard before him dared not speak further.
However, after a moment.
The commander of the Imperial Guard Army, who had left on orders, quickly returned.
“Reporting to the Great King.”
“Madam Wu is missing, as well as several trusted palace maids around her.” The commander knelt to report.
The King of Yan’s expression changed dramatically: “What?”
About a hundred miles from Ji City, within a small town.
“Madam.”
“You stay here for some time before Qin attacks Ji City; when the Shangjiangjun leads the army to come, Madam will be completely safe.”
“But please rest assured, Madam, during this period, we will protect you well.”
Within a small courtyard in the town.
Several men in black saluted the noble lady before them.
Clearly.
This lady was indeed Wu Yang’s mother.
At this moment, she had arrived in this small town, evidently having escaped here many days earlier; it’s just that the King of Yan had not paid attention, nor did he expect anyone could take someone out of his heavily guarded palace.
Unfortunately.
He was facing the Qin’s Yanting.
Yanting was all martial artists.
Those who went on missions were elite among the dark guards.
Moreover, they were led by Ying Bu personally.
“Thank you kindly.”
Madam Wu thanked with a word.
“Take good care of Madam.”
“Do not let anyone disturb them.”
Ying Bu turned his head and instructed the group of Yanting dark guards outside the courtyard.
“Understood.”
The dark guards responded in unison.
“Madam.”
“I need to report back to the Shangjiangjun, see you another day.” Ying Bu bowed slightly, then turned and left.
Madam Wu watched Ying Bu’s departing figure, and the hidden dark guards guarding around, her expression showing some emotion.
“To bring me out unscathed from the palace, such strength is truly terrifying.”
“Fortunately, Wu Yang chose her husband.” Madam Wu thought to herself.
…
Qin Empire!
“Reporting to the Great King.”
“Good news from Yan has been sent back.”
“General Zhao Feng, leading the Wu’an Military Camp, advanced in three routes, capturing over thirty Yan cities in just a month and is now besieging Yuyang City of Yan.”
“The extinction of Yan might be within just a few months.” Yu Liao reported with joy.
High above the throne.
Ying Zheng smiled: “Zhao Feng has not disappointed me!”
