Chapter 937 The Counterattack Begins
Although Long Qinghan spoke in a frivolous tone, the coldness in his voice was more chilly than that in the freezing weather.
“You are right, Your Highness.”
The one who had long replaced the original messenger lowered his eyes and spoke sincerely.
Whether the Political Cabinet or the Crown Prince had all misjudged the situation.
Did they really think that Prince Yu had been unready in the past years?
“No, you just stay. Lin Kui, find a corpse recently dead and let the corpse wear his clothes, and throw it out after chopping it up.
In the snow, in the chaos, the group of people around Long Tianyu could not help looking at their prince with complicated expressions.
What… what an arrogant and piercing provocation!
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
The messenger was very happy. He used to be a soldier, but for various reasons, he became a spy working undercover in the Political Cabinet.
Now that he saw his former comrades fighting against the enemy bravely, his fighting blood had already boiled.
Hearing that he could come back, the cool man immediately showed a bright smile like a child.
“Elder Brother, have you been misled by sister-in-law?”
Long Qinghan pursed his lips with smiling eyes.
He had sensed that his elder brother was not the same as before.
But he did not notice the exact difference for now.
If it were his elder brother of the past, he would not do such an aggressive thing.
After all, it was a tacit understanding not to kill the messenger during a war.
His elder brother used to be very old-fashioned and inflexible. He had never broken rules.
But now-Long Qinghan touched the sword in his hand subconsciously. He was afraid that his elder brother would distance himself from him.
“She is still waiting for me.”
No matter how gloomy Long Tianyu looked just now, at the mention of Lin Mengya, his dark and deep eyes would be filled with an intoxicating tenderness.
Long Qinghan wanted to make fun of his elder brother, but he suddenly remembered that the timing was not right.
Lin Kui and the messenger had finished their tasks neatly. A warm corpse was thrown on the ground before the commanders of the Political Cabinet.
Even from afar, he could see the faces of those guys opposite him clouded with anger.
Now, they must have already given up the idea of pleasing both sides.
Humph. A servant could not serve two masters. He really felt sorry for the eight former masters of the Political Cabinet. How could the loyal families become so shameless and depraved now?
“Shameless and disobedient! Third Prince, Long Tianyu, and Seventh Prince, Long Qinghan, deserve to be punished for rebelling!”
After being rejected by Long Tianyu, those people in the Political Cabinet were obviously loyal to the Crown Prince.
Long Tianyu, who was riding on the horse, raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing that.
In his eyes, the bloodthirsty killing intent that could not be suppressed by the cold weather was surging.
“Kill!” he roared.
Now that every force was here, he no longer had any scruples.
All the plans had been well thought out. Moreover, those soldiers who had been well-trained did not hesitate to make full use of everything they had learned in the drill ground.
Neither the Political Cabinet nor the Crown Prince would have expected that Prince Yu, who looked gloomy and cold, was a master at pretending to be weak.
What’s more, he had a beautiful and sinister wife.
The Political Cabinet raised the dark golden military flag and merged into the caesious crowd. Seeing that, Lin Mengya finally rested easy.
When Long Tianyu was suppressed just now, she could clearly see that those unreliable guys had quietly retreated.
Everyone had a survival instinct. This was something that she could completely understand.
But if they wanted to profit from others’ efforts, they were in the wrong.
Even if they left only a group of people before escaping, they could cook up an explanation in the future.
At this moment, among the crowd of people outside, who belonged to those princes?
Even if they were so shameless to fight for the military exploit in the future, were all these soldiers dead?
Every single person in the world could spit on them, which was enough to drown the three of them.
She narrowed her eyes with pleasure. All the benefits of this war would belong to her camp.
Very good.
Standing on the wall, the Crown Prince, who was looking down at his victory, had no idea that the ending of the war below had long been decided.
Seeing that the old foxes of the Political Cabinet finally sent out their troops, the Crown Prince totally rested easy.
Thus, no matter how powerful Long Tianyu was, he would not be able to turn the tables.
Furthermore, he would be able to ascend to the throne openly and rightfully.
Instantly, the Crown Prince felt complacent and s.p.u.n.ky.
“Somebody, take that b.i.t.c.h here!”
It was obvious that he was so happy that he even forgot to pay attention to his wording.
As for the b.i.t.c.h he mentioned, who else could it be but the Imperial n.o.ble Consort?
“Beautiful lady, don’t tell me you’re still protecting her.”
The Crown Prince turned around to look at her insidiously.
But Lin Mengya, who had been tough, just glanced at him lightly and then made a gesture of “please”.
The Crown Prince did not know why she suddenly changed her att.i.tude, but his mind was now full of the throne and power. How could he pay attention to such things?
Lin Mengya did not even spare a glance at the person sent away by the Crown Prince, as if the Imperial n.o.ble Consort really had nothing to do with her.
However, in just a few minutes, the situation under the city wall had once again been reversed.
The dark red army that had been suppressed all this time suddenly broke through, and the defensive formation developed when they narrowed their battle range did not change at all.
They were like a piece of steel bar, reaping the enemy’s lives step by step and regaining the land they’d just lost.
From a distance, the dark red crowd was like the strongest shield in the world.
Unfortunately, no one had the sharpest spear in the world.
“What’s going on?”
The look of complacency on the Crown Prince’s face was almost frozen. His eyes were fixed on the dark red shield.
However, at this moment, it was so quiet on the palace wall that there was not any soldier pa.s.sing on the message.
Outside, Long Tianyu’s troops were unstoppable.
The forces of the Political Cabinet and the Crown Prince, who thought they were powerful, were crushed in an instant.
The situation had instantly turned into a totally one-sided slaughter.
“Aha, I gave them a name, the Human Tank. Don’t underestimate their rattan armor. Ordinary swords would not be able to destroy the armor in the slightest.”
Lin Mengya was finally able to smile. Her rose-petal-like lips curled up slightly. Such a smile was both beautiful and chilly.
The Crown Prince finally came to his senses and realized that something was wrong with her.
“b.i.t.c.h! What did you do?”
He rushed over like crazy. He would never have expected that he, who had gained the absolute upper hand just now, would lose in an instant.
“I didn’t do anything. You did it, didn’t you? Your Highness, you forced my husband to take this path, didn’t you? Are you satisfied with the results he has achieved?”
She could not bear it any longer and dropped her pretense.
Lin Mengya’s eyes sparkled as she looked straight at the Crown Prince. She wore a look of ruthless mockery in her eyes.
“Humph, I knew that you and that son of a b.i.t.c.h…”
“Your Highness, look at yourself. You don’t look like a prince at all.”
Lin Mengya, who had long been irritated with him, interrupted him coldly.
“You always think that you are superior to others, but so what? You’re the humblest one. Look at yourself now. I’m afraid that even the beggars on the roadside are n.o.bler than you. Otherwise, why did your mother, and your younger sister, both abandon you at this time?”
A look of disdain appeared in Lin Mengya’s eyes as she deliberately said those provocative words.
The Crown Prince glared at her, wishing he could wring her slender neck with his own hands. However, the cool and beautiful maidservant stood between them, blocking his way.
In the world of ice and snow, the chilling aura of the maidservant overwhelmed him and froze his steps.
“What did you say? How could my mother and my younger sister abandon me!” the Crown Prince roared louder and louder, which indicated that his mood was unstable.
Lin Mengya looked into his eyes, which were clear at one moment but muddled the next. Something flashed across her eyes.
With a sneer at the corner of her mouth, she chose to tell the truth in front of the Crown Prince.
“Ever since the Shangguan family rebelled and got caught, their remaining force is almost controlled by your mother, right? The Shangguan family was going to rebel, so they had great power. Don’t you know that? How many of their remaining men are in your troops below? Or did someone tell you that they would help you suppress the dissatisfaction of the officials when you ascend to the throne?”
There was a flash of panic across the Crown Prince’s eyes.
Lin Mengya knew that she had guessed correctly.
“One more thing. The Shangguan family secretly kept a lot of followers. But do you know whom they served? Neither your uncle nor your mother, but your sister Princess Tiancheng.”
Princess Tiancheng had done a lot of things behind the scenes. She knew some of them, but for other things, Princess Tiancheng did them in an extremely secretive way.
But she had a wide range of contacts. After all, the Sanjue Hall made a living on secrets. It could do some things more secretly and thoroughly than Long Tianyu’s men.
Princess Tiancheng had done great planning to be the Empress.
But now, she described the ignorance of the Crown Prince’s mother as her deliberate indulgence.
“Look at yourself. You’re incompetent, coward, arrogant and conceited, so your mother is very disappointed in you. You have the right idea: you’re her only son, and she has to support you. But you’re so stupid that she couldn’t see the hope. So she would rather support a daughter than help you consolidate your position as the Crown Prince. Tut-tut, even the poor families are run by men. But what about you? You’re not as good as a woman.”
Lin Mengya pretended to show an extremely disdainful look. In fact, she was absolutely a feminist, but now, in order to attack the enemy, she had to hit him where it hurt.
