Nurhadu was agile and easily dodged the attack. At the same time, he swung his sword back and aimed it at Doziger's wrist.
The two men fought back and forth, swords flashing, and it was difficult to tell who was better for a while, but Nurhadu was more skilled after all. He seized a flaw in Doziger and knocked him to the ground with one sword.
"Doziger, you've already lost."
Nurhadu retracted his sword and looked coldly at Doziger who was lying on the ground. He had no intention of killing him. After all, he was his brother. He hoped to give Doziger a chance to reform.
However, when Nurhadu turned around and prepared to meet up with Zuo Xian Wang and the Queen Mother, Doziger suddenly attacked him from behind.
Nurhadu sensed the danger, turned quickly, and swung his sword. This time he showed no mercy. He would no longer be soft-hearted towards the enemy who attacked him on the battlefield.
Dozier fell to the ground, and the pain in his neck made it impossible for him to breathe.
He squatted down, closed Dozier's still wide eyes, and said softly: "Dozier, this is the path you chose. I gave you a chance, but you still ended up here. I hope you can find what you want in another world."
Li Yunting looked at Nurhadu in astonishment. She never expected that he had the courage to kill Doziger.
Nurhadu said in a cold voice: "I know everything you did in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I don't care whether you are a princess or a princess. If a poisonous snake like you continues to live in the world, it will only cause endless harm." After that, Li Yunting was struck by lightning and collapsed to the ground powerlessly.
Nurhadu looked at her coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes. He knew that this woman was ruthless and would do anything to achieve her goals. If she continued to live, who knew how many more people would be harmed by her.
Without hesitation, he poured the deadly poison in the porcelain bottle directly into Li Yunting's mouth without a trace of hesitation or mercy.
This bottle of poison may have been a tool she once used to harm others, but now it has become her own end.
The poison flowed down Li Yunting's throat, and she felt a sharp burning sensation, as if her internal organs were on fire. She wanted to shout, but found that her voice was too hoarse to make a sound.
Her body began to convulse, her face turning purple, her eyes filled with fear and unwillingness. She tried to struggle, but her body seemed to be bound, unable to move. She finally understood that she would have to pay the price for her past actions.
Nurhadu looked at her struggling in pain without any emotion in his heart. This was the punishment Li Yunting deserved. He turned and left, leaving Li Yunting alone struggling in pain on the ground.
As time passed, her struggles gradually weakened and eventually turned into silence.
Nurhadu stood on the high platform, his figure appeared particularly tall and majestic in the light of the torches.
He glanced at everyone present, those whose eyes showed fear, anxiety, or expectation.
"Today's events are a foregone conclusion. Doziger betrayed Xirong, colluded with foreign enemies, and attempted to overthrow us. He has now been executed. And Li Yunting, that vicious woman, has also received the punishment she deserved."
Nurhadu paused, letting his words echo in the air, making sure everyone could hear every word he said.
"I, Nurhadu, may be untalented, but I understand loyalty and righteousness. I pledge allegiance to the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince of the Western Rong, and I vow to defend them to the death. Today, I swear to heaven that as long as you remain loyal to the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince of the Western Rong, and support the Crown Prince to succeed me, I will forgive all past mistakes."
As soon as he finished speaking, silence fell on the stage as people digested his words and thought about their future.
Nurhadu understood that what he needed at this time was patience. He stood there quietly, waiting for people's response.
Finally, someone broke the silence and shouted, "We are willing to pledge allegiance to the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince!"
This shout seemed to turn on some kind of switch, and echoes began to rise from the crowd.
"Be loyal to the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince!"
"Support the crown prince to the throne!"
Nurhadu looked at this scene and felt relieved.
His master Anda also escorted the Left Wise King Zhahemu back safely.
"Master Anda, it's all thanks to you this time." Chaharan said sincerely, looking at Anda beside him, the warrior who had been protecting them and ensuring their safe return.
Anda smiled slightly and nodded, "This is my duty."
At this time, Zuo Xian Wang Zhahemu walked over with a sad and angry expression. He looked at Doziger's body on the ground, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"Doziger..." Zuo Xian Wang called out in a low voice, his voice revealing endless sorrow. "I had originally intended to pass the throne to you, but why were you so impulsive and ended up like this?"
Master Anda comforted him softly, "Wang, it has already happened. We can only accept the reality."
The Left Wise King took a deep breath, calmed himself, and turned to Nurhadu: "Nurhadu, you once said that you wanted to return to the Great Zhou and get away from all these disputes. Do you still think so now?"
Nurhadu nodded and said, "Yes, father. I have always felt that instead of fighting here, it would be better to return to the Great Zhou and live a peaceful life."
The Left Wise King pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I understand your perspective. But you must understand that as a member of the royal court, it is sometimes difficult to completely detach from these disputes. However, if you truly wish to leave, I will respect your choice."
After hearing this, Nurhadu's eyes flashed with gratitude: "Thank you for your understanding, father. I will think about it carefully."
Amid the shouts of the crowd, Nurhadu's deep eyes flashed with determination and faith, and he took a firm step.
He turned and walked towards the prince, the young man who shouldered the responsibility of the future monarch of Xirong.
He took the dazzling crown from a servant. The crown was inlaid with gems and shone with the light of power.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Nurhadu slowly placed the crown on the prince's head. This action seemed to endow the prince with endless power and majesty, and also announced the arrival of a new era for the Western Rong.
"From today on, Your Majesty is the king of Xirong." Nurhadu's voice was firm and powerful, echoing in everyone's ears.
The prince looked up, a resolute expression on his young face. He seemed to understand the heavy responsibility he shouldered, and he also knew that he would no longer be alone on this road.
At the same time, Zuo Xian Wang Zhahemu also stepped forward.
He held tightly in his hand a scroll written in blood, which contained his oath of loyalty to the Queen Mother and the new King. He then read out the contents of the scroll in a resounding voice.
"I, Zhahemu, swear to be loyal to the Queen Mother and the King of Xirong until death. I will serve them faithfully and will never abandon them. If I disobey, I will be punished by heaven!"
