Ming Fucheng’s eyelids twitched violently. He picked up the memorial on the ground with trembling hands and opened it.
The memorial to the throne doc.u.mented the incident where he chased after Qian Jiyun and left without commanding the military, which resulted in the loss of the first city.
“Father, I can explain this. I went to chase after someone. That person…”
“Who is so important that you have to chase after them personally? Have all your shadow guards died? Can’t you send them to chase after that person?” The Yueming Emperor questioned him sternly, not giving him a chance to finish his sentence.
“Didn’t you say that Zhan Beiye has an irreconcilable feud with you? He stayed in his militarv camp, so where did vou 20? Or is there someone else who has an
irreconcilable feud with you?” he asked.
He even suspected that he, the Emperor, was the one who had an irreconcilable feud with Ming Fucheng.
Otherwise, how could his son lie to him? He had lost 10 cities and hundreds of thousands of troops in a row, yet he still dared to make excuses in front of him! “Ming Fucheng, why did I have a son like you?”
“Father, you’ve really wronged me. I really went to chase after someone. They came here from Huayan Peak.” Ming Fucheng felt like he was given no choice but to suffer in silence.
He felt bitter, but how could he explain things?
Should he tell his father about Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue?
But what difference would it make if he kept quiet? He could not even protect himself now. Even if he lived, his authority would probably be taken away from him. He would never be able to go after An Jiuyue and Qian Jiyun again.
“So what if they’re from Huayan Peak? Even if they’re Zhan Beiye’s people, what good can they bring to him to cause us to suffer a crushing defeat in this war?” The Yueming Emperor questioned him coldly.
It was all because Ming Fucheng was stupid and was fooled by Zhan Beiye.
Zhan Beiye must have deliberately sent those two people to pique his interest. He gritted his teeth and cursed, “Ming Fucheng, you’re utterly stupid!”
“No, Father, it’s not like that.” Ming Fucheng shook his head. “They do know Zhan Beiye, but they’re not from our plane.”
“What did you say?
The Yueming Emperor was stunned for a moment. When he realized what Ming Fucheng meant, he took a step forward.
“How can they come here if they’re not from our plane? Don’t spout nonsense.
Ming Fucheng, do you think I’ll let you off with such a lousy excuse?”
“It’s true, Father. They’re really not from our plane. I can guarantee with my life that they’re from another plane. I don’t know how they got here,” Ming Fucheng said hurriedly.
“I suspect they have an artifact that allows them to enter and leave other planes. That’s why I brought people to chase after them. I wanted to obtain that artifact and offer it to you, Father.”
“Ha!” The Yueming Emperor chuckled.
Ming Fucheng had to be telling the truth when he said he suspected that they had an artifact and chased after them for it.
However, the Yueming Emperor did not believe that Ming Fucheng would offer the artifact to him. How could he not know his son?
If he really obtained the artifact as he wished, Ming Fucheng would probably leave their plane alone and seek life on a higher plane.
“Ming Fucheng, I’m your father.. Do you really think I’m so easy to fool?”
