Chapter 200 The Emperor's Conspiracy

Chapter 200 The Emperor's Conspiracy

General Chen's eyes were filled with anger, and he reached out and fiercely grabbed the prince's neck.

"I left for my family and went to Xuancheng alone."

"I thought I could sacrifice my life to keep my sister and my wife safe, but I never imagined that you and the Northern Mang Emperor would be such beasts."

“Let…let go…”

The prince desperately slapped General Chen's hands, his face had turned purple, and the fear of suffocation was deeply enveloping him.

General Chen's eyes flashed and he loosened his grip, and the prince fell to the ground like a dead dog.

He gasped for breath after surviving the disaster and retreated frantically.

"Your sister and wife died suddenly of illness. What does it have to do with us?"

"Heh." General Chen sneered.

When he first heard about his family members' deaths, he thought they had contracted some incurable disease because they missed him too much.

But it was not until he quietly rushed back to the capital of Beimang that he learned the truth.

The Emperor of Beimang coveted his sister's beauty and, relying on his position as emperor, took her away by force.

My younger sister was young and had no ability to fight back against the struggles in the harem. She was banished to the cold palace after only half a year and died of depression.

General Chen's eyes were bloodshot. His sister was only fifteen years old when she was killed by the Emperor of Beimang.

His wife was favored by the prince, who had a little-known quirk: he liked married women.

After he left, the prince could not wait to come to his house and kidnap his wife. In just two months, she became the prince's canary.

The lady was unwilling to suffer humiliation, and after learning of her sister's death, she hit her head against the wall and ended her life.

This incident became a hot topic of after-dinner gossip in Kyoto. The people had no sympathy at all, but instead ridiculed the emperor and the prince for being too affectionate.

When he rushed back, he heard the people's discussions. Most of them said that his wife had seduced his sister, and that the emperor and the prince had just made a mistake that all men in the world would make.

Feng Tianning and the others looked at General Chen with complicated expressions, and suddenly understood why he was so obsessed with rebellion.

For the sake of his country, he went to Xuancheng alone as an undercover agent, but heard the news of his family's death a few months later.

After finally returning, he discovered that the person who killed his wife and sister was the emperor he was loyal to.

"Why, Your Highness, is there anything else you want to say?"

General Chen glanced coldly at the people who were sitting on the ground and shivering.

"Since there is none, then you will all be buried with my family."

General Chen waved his hand, signaling the soldiers behind him to move forward, but there was no movement for a long time.

He looked back in confusion and suddenly found that the soldiers who followed him raised their spears at him.

A cold light flashed on the tip of the spear. General Chen was stunned for a moment, and then his face became more angry. He shouted at them:

"What are you still standing there for?"

"Are you planning a rebellion?"

The soldier didn't say anything, but instead a sneer came from behind him.

Feng Tianning and his companions looked towards the source of the voice and found that it was an acquaintance.

The Emperor of Beimang came out from nowhere, accompanied by two people in night clothes.

General Chen's pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at them in disbelief.

"You...shouldn't you be dead?"

The Emperor of Beimang sneered and clapped his hands. Countless guards filed in and surrounded General Chen.

"You did a great job. If it had been someone else, I'm afraid this rebellion would have succeeded."

"Unfortunately, the one you met was me."

"I became emperor at the age of thirteen. This little trick can't pull me off the throne."

General Chen stared at the two people beside the Emperor of Beimang and his lips moved.

Those were the two assassins he had sent to kill the Emperor of Beimang, and it was they who brought back the news of the emperor's death.

"You actually betrayed me."

"General Chen, it's not that we brothers and sisters don't want to help you, it's just that you are too cruel and ruthless."

"We have long suspected that if we help you kill His Majesty, our lives will be in jeopardy. It is better to surrender directly to His Majesty."

"After all, General Chen has a terrible reputation, so we really don't dare to gamble."

Looking at the soldiers around him with murderous intent on their faces, General Chen said to them bitterly:

"I treat you well on weekdays."

"You are obviously my personal soldiers, why did you betray me?"

A brave soldier looked at him, then at the Emperor of Beimang, and said:

"This Beimang originally belonged to your Majesty and should not fall into the hands of others."

"You are planning a rebellion just for two women. You are not worthy of being our general!"

General Chen smiled bitterly. He had not expected that these soldiers, whom he regarded as brothers, would betray him for this.

"What's more, you are truly cruel and ruthless. If this world falls into your hands, the people will surely suffer!"

The soldier mustered up his courage to finish these words, then shrank back, fearing that General Chen's impulse would take his life.

"That's right. That soldier just publicized your achievements, and you wanted to kill him."

"Yes, such a cruel man is not worthy of being our general!"

The soldiers seemed to be inspired by something and shouted at General Chen excitedly, almost drowning him with saliva.

"It's because of this..."

"You are plotting rebellion. This is a crime punishable by the death of all nine generations of your clan."

"For your sister's sake, I will leave your body intact."

The Emperor of Beimang waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed forward and tied up General Chen.

General Chen closed his eyes, looking resigned to his fate.

"Tianning, why doesn't he resist?"

"Yes, Grandma, this is General Chen's dreamland. If he wants to become emperor, it's just a thought."

"Even if the rebellion failed, he shouldn't have surrendered."

Feng Tianning shook her head. She was also a little confused.

The soldier's spear was about to pierce General Chen's heart, but he still had no intention of resisting.

Feng Tianning's eyes flashed, and he appeared behind him like a ghost. The next moment, they arrived outside Kyoto.

General Chen was ready to die, but the expected pain did not come. He opened his eyes with some confusion, and saw the faces of Feng Tianning and the other two.

"You...you are the three adults who came from Kyoto?"

General Chen looked at them with some surprise.

"Aren't you imprisoned by me? Why are you here?"

"Wasn't I in the palace just now?"

"Why are you suddenly outside Kyoto?"

General Chen's face was full of surprise and he looked at them as if they were some monsters.

Feng Tianning coughed lightly and said:

"We already know about you."
