Chapter 816: Sending troops, protect the princess
Liu Bai and Su Cha came back. The pressure on Xiao Tianyao suddenly decreased.
With Liu Bai and Su Cha around, Xiao Tianyao doesn"t have to worry about the lack of timely information, let alone food and medicine.
After briefly asking the two about their experience in the North, Xiao Tianyao didn"t comfort them either. He just said, "Well done", and asked the two to rest. After resting enough, they took over their work.
"We"re fine, we can do things right away. The army will set off in an hour. Let"s find out what happened during this period first, so as not to delay the big event." Su Cha and Liu Bai traveled all the way, and they had to be careful of the Northern Country and Shadow Moon Building"s pursuit. It would be a lie to say that they were not tired, but now that the situation was urgent, how can they sleep?
"Mmm." Xiao Tianyao didn"t say much, and just let the two go down to clean up.
The clothes on his body have not been changed for two days, and he didn"t feel it before, but now that he calms down, Xiao Tianyao can"t bear it.
Liu Bai and Su Cha also knew about Xiao Tianyao"s obsession with cleanliness. Although they were exhausted, they went out to wash honestly.
An hour later, the generals were ready to go. Xiao Tianyao put on the bright armor, ordered someone to bring a red-ta.s.seled spear, and was ready to go.
"w.a.n.gye, I have sorted out all the news, and I haven"t found any problems for the time being. Don"t worry, I will let people keep an eye on the reinforcements from all sides, and there will never be any mistakes." Liu Bai understood the situation as quickly as possible and entered working status.
Su Cha didn"t hesitate, one hour was enough for him to understand the stock of grain and weapons in the military camp: "w.a.n.gye, the food and other supplies are already on their way, and a batch of weapons will arrive in 10 days. Please rest a.s.sured."
They have enough food and medicine to support more than 200,000 Jinwuwei Army for three years. As for weapons?
They obtained a batch of black iron ores before and bought a batch of weapons from the North. Not to mention enough for three years, there would be no problem in coping with the big battle ahead.
"Very good, I"ll leave this to you." Xiao Tianyao trusted Liu Bai and Su Cha. Hearing their reports, Xiao Tianyao nodded in satisfaction.
Sure enough, he felt relieved as soon as the two came back.
"Don"t worry, w.a.n.gye, we will swear to death to complete the task." Su Cha and Liu Bai promised solemnly.
"Protect w.a.n.gfei!" Xiao Tianyao took the spear handed by his subordinates, left behind these words, and left.
"Let"s go!" Xiao Tianyao was a straightforward person and a man of few words. He didn"t say anything about mobilizing the three armies, nor did he explain the motive for sending troops.
His soldiers only need to obey orders.
As for the banner of being famous and a crusade, it was for outsiders to see.
The army moved forward at a high speed. Although there were only 50,000 horses, it was equally powerful. The Emperor in the palace received the news immediately, and his face turned pale.
"Idiots, you idiots, you let him escape, how did you do it!" The Emperor was so angry that he smashed all the memorials and ink stones on the table to the floor.
"The Emperor forgives this subordinate"s crime." The deputy general who was guarding the palace prison, the commander of the imperial army, and the admiral of the nine gates kowtowed desperately and did not dare to hide from the b.l.o.o.d.y head smashed by the ink stone and the memorial.
"Forgive you, how can you ask me to forgive you? Xiao w.a.n.gye ran away, ran out under your noses, and now he is leading an army of 50,000 to attack the city, and the position under my b.u.t.tocks is going to be unstable. So tell me, should I forgive you? What do you think?" The Emperor was so angry that he wanted to throw something at them again, but the table was already empty. So even if the Emperor wanted to smash people, he couldn"t find anything in his hand.
*Plop, plop, plop…* The three of them didn"t dare to intercede anymore, they just kowtowed continuously.
The more the Emperor looked at them, the angry he became. When he got angry, his head hurt, and when his head hurt, the Emperor became even more annoyed. The vicious cycle made the Emperor"s head hurt even more.
Having a headache, the Emperor thought of Imperial Physician Qin, and when he saw Imperial Physician Qin knelt aside trembling. The Emperor became even angrier, pointing at him and yelling, "And you, didn"t you say that Xiao w.a.n.gye couldn"t move for ten days because of the medicine?"? Ten days? Hmph… In my opinion, there are not even ten hours!"
If he had known that Imperial Doctor Qin"s medicine wouldn"t work for too long. He would kill Xiao Tianyao at that time, so there was no chance for him to escape.
"Your Majesty, forgive me. The medicine minister tried it on martial G.o.ds, and it can indeed make the other party unable to use force for 10 days." The Emperor was also present when the medicine was tested.
"I don"t want to hear these things, I only believe what I see before my eyes." The Emperor became furious, with no objects at hand that could hit people, he could only slap the table to vent his anger.
Imperial Doctor Qin complained endlessly, but he didn"t dare to say anymore. He could only kowtow desperately like the commander of the imperial army, begging the Emperor for forgiveness.
After the Emperor lost his temper, he calmed down. Although his head was still throbbing, it was much better than before. Seeing the blood all over the place, the Emperor waved his hand, "Get out, all of you get out, and tell Prime Minister Lin and Prime Minister You to come and see me."
"The guilty minister resigns." The four ran out in a hurry, fearing that the Emperor would change his mind if they were stepped too late.
After a quarter of an hour, Prime Minister Lin went to the palace to ask for an audience, while Prime Minister You complained that he was ill.
"Sick? It"s time for that old man to be sick. I don"t think he"s sick, but he has a second heart!" The Emperor was furious, and he wanted to eat his flesh and blood.
Prime Minister You came from a great family with many disciples, but he never stood in line, the Emperor has always known this.
Before the liberation, although the Emperor was dissatisfied, he did not hate it to the point of eating his flesh and blood, but now the emperor hated him. He hated this right-hand man adding insult to his wound.
The right prime minister was an old fox and smarter than anyone else. With this gesture, he was telling other families and their disciples that he was not optimistic about him as the emperor.
Once Prime Minister You takes this posture, can those aristocratic families be of use to him?
"Go, send the head of the Imperial Hospital to Prime Minister You"s Mansion. Make sure that he can stand up tomorrow morning. I must see people tomorrow." Prime Minister You wants to hide, but it depends on whether he, the emperor, was willing.
Wanting to get rid of the relations.h.i.+p and defect to Xiao Tianyao was simply dreaming.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch took the order and stepped back respectfully.
Prime Minister Lin stood aside, secretly thankful that he didn"t pretend to be sick.
Originally, he also wanted to take sick leave and not come to see the Emperor, but thinking of the olive branch thrown by Imperial Concubine Zhou and the Zhou family, Prime Minister Lin gritted his teeth and came again.
The Emperor must still be the current emperor, or the emperor"s son should sit on the throne well in the future. If someone else sits on the throne, even if that person marries his daughter, he, the prime minister, will have no good fruit.
Now, seeing the emperor"s reaction, Prime Minister Lin secretly rejoiced that he came. A skinny camel was bigger than a horse. The Emperor was no match for Prince Xiao, but killing him was as easy as crus.h.i.+ng an ant. If he made the Emperor unhappy, the Emperor will kill him immediately.
It was just, it was useless for Prime Minister Lin to come. He was just a dog in the hands of the emperor. He looks powerful, but he has no military power and no foundation. He can’t help at all… …
