......

The soldiers of Yan shouted loudly, raising their gleaming gun barrels and aiming them at Tian Yong.

Tian Yong knew in his heart that he was going to die anyway, but as long as he didn't let go, he might be able to live a little longer...

However, Le Yi's mother was dying. She had lost a lot of blood, and the old lady was drooping her head, showing no signs of life.

After the Yan army joined forces, Yue Yi saw Jiang Ming and immediately knelt down before him.

"Your subordinate greets Your Excellency the Prime Minister!"

"That...is your mother?" Jiang Ming asked, frowning.

"Exactly...that's it!"

Le Yi lowered her head in shame, tears falling to the ground.

"Um......"

Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and said, "You were able to prioritize national affairs and not be swayed by personal feelings, so you should be richly rewarded. However... you did not leave the city to rescue your mother when she was captured, resulting in her injury... Even if there are a thousand reasons, in terms of human ethics and filial piety, it is ultimately a failure and you should be punished!"

Le Yi was already in tears, kneeling on the ground and crying, "This humble general only asks to atone for his sins with his life after defeating Qi!"

"Foolish!"

Jiang Ming cursed, "If you die, wouldn't that make your mother heartbroken? That would be an even greater act of filial impiety!"

Le Yi was overwhelmed with grief and didn't know what to do!

Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and said, "After defeating the Qi allied forces, I order you to lead your troops to attack Qi. If you win, you will atone for your crimes; if you lose, you will be punished for both crimes!"

"Your humble servant obeys! But... Prime Minister, my mother is still in the hands of those traitors, I..."

Jiang Ming raised the riding whip, signaling him to be quiet, and then gently put it down.

With a "whoosh," an arrow shot out and struck Tian Yong's wrist. He screamed in pain and staggered to the side.

The Xiongnu cavalry, who had been waiting in ambush, simply threw out their lassoes, looped them around his neck, and yanked him off the wooden stake...

The soldiers of Yan rushed forward, intending to cut Tian Yong into a thousand pieces, but Jiang Ming stopped them!

"Someone come here!"

Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Skin him alive, then write the proclamation of war against Qi on this guy's skin and send it to the King of Qi..."
