Chapter 408: Soldiers Surrounding City (1)
Jin Yun’s words immediately made the atmosphere tense, with soldiers ready to pull out their swords!
Yun Jin never could’ve imagined that under these circ.u.mstances, Yun Er still insisted to remain on Gong Yi Mo’s side! Just what kind of hypnotizing poison did that wench give Yun Er? Was he going to betray his country?!
Jin Sheng was unpleased. With his face dullened, he solemnly said, “You don’t have the power to make that kind of statement! Let me ask you again. That person…are you handing her over or not?!”
His point was made clearly. If it was to catch Gong Yi Mo, he wouldn’t mind turning against this ferocious son of his!
Even if Jin Yun truly upset him, he was still young, and could birth more sons!
Jin Yun sighed deeply, “I’ve already told you. You’ve got the wrong person. There is no princess here. As for She Yue, I refuse to hand her over!”
“Then don’t blame me for not going easy on you!”
“Your Majesty!” Yun Jin hurriedly grabbed Jin Sheng’s hand, clearly frantic, her face drained of color. “What do you mean, your Majesty? Yun Er is innocent! He’s been blinded by that devil girl!”
Who knew that the Yun Jin the emperor adored would actually get her hand pushed aside!
“Coaxing him didn’t work, and threatening him didn’t work either, because he’s still clearly blinded! If that’s the case, then I’ll have to force him to understand in another way! That Yu Heng, who said it meant anything! Take him down!”
“Yes, sir!”
“Your majesty!”
Yun Jin fell over from shock. She never imagined that there’d come a day when she’d be thrown aside by Jin Sheng, but what was more shocking was Jin Sheng’s attack towards Yun Er! Didn’t he come here to catch Gong Yi Mo?
Jin Yun realized they weren’t willing to retreat, but his army was already surrounded and had no way out. There was no way to command the troops and even if he tried to, he had far less men than the emperor did!
He retreated back once again, locking the door tightly behind him, and bringing some troops to continue defending the door. With so little time, he needed to come with a plan to ensure Gong Yi Mo’s safety!
When he rushed back to the stage in a hurry, Gong Yi Mo was sitting on the edge of the stage with her head down, waiting for his return.
The large stage made her entire appearance seem small and weak. Yun Jin didn’t understand. Why were so many people trying to capture her? She was just a young girl!
She didn’t go out of her way to harm people, but had committed numerous deeds of good. Why were they so hostile towards her?
Seeing Jin Yun back, Gong Yi Mo beamed happily, “How is it?”
Jin Yun’s face was unhappy yet calm. “They know that you’re inside. They’ll barge in soon!”
Actually, Gong Yi Mo had already figured this out without Jin Yun’s announcement, having heard the gradually increasing sound of battle. Things were looking grim.
“If it’s like that, then I’ll leave immediately. They…won’t be able to stop me. You don’t need to worry.”
Gong Yi Mo tried her best to sound relaxed. “I’ll use a disguise too. As long as I can exit these doors, then I’ll be able to leave this place…”
But Jin Yun knew it wasn’t as easy as she made it sound!
Yu Heng had around 50,000 hidden troops. 10,000 served the emperor, 10,000 were with Jin Yun, and even if you took off the 10,000 that acted as guards, there were still 20,000 troops moving about the city! As long as the emperor remained determined, every nook and cranny would be guarded, making Gong Yi Mo’s escape especially hard!
Speaking of escape once again, Gong Yi Mo felt a sense of familiarity. She forced herself to smile and give Jin Yun a pat on the shoulder.
“Don’t worry! I’ll manage it!”
“Then take me with you!”
Jin Yun suddenly declared this, leaving Gong Yi Mo stunned.
Jin Yun had made up his mind. “If you really come across some sort of trouble, I’ll be able to escort you out of the city. I’m the only son father has that is still alive and well, he won’t immediately take my life!”
Gong Yi Mo shook her head. “I don’t know much about your emperor…” Who knows if he’d twist up his heart just to capture.
