"Prince, tell me, has something happened?" After eating and drinking, Li Yun and Shangguan Feiyun entered the room. Without waiting for Shangguan Feiyun to speak, Li Yun couldn't wait to ask.
"Nothing can be hidden from Yun'er.
Yes, something big happened!
The armies of the four surrounding nations are pressing in, having already massacred one of our cities. The other three border crossings are also in imminent danger." Shangguan Feiyun spoke directly without any evasion or embellishment.
"What? A whole city was massacred? When did it happen? Which country did it?" Li Yun was so shocked when she heard about the city massacre that she staggered and almost fell down. Fortunately, there was a table behind her.
Her face turned pale, her eyes were bloodshot, her hands were clenched tightly, veins bulged, and she asked Shangguan Feiyun angrily.
The people of a city? How many people are there?
They just slaughtered people without any effort. Those were ordinary people who were powerless and had no ability to fight back. How could it be considered heroic to kill them?
Beast!
Beast!
Inhumane beast! Li Yun thought angrily in her heart. Her clenched hands began to tremble, revealing her anger and fear at the moment.
"Today, a messenger arrived in the capital. Everyone in Feishui County was slaughtered. No one was spared, including the elderly, children, pregnant women, and infants!
It was the United States of America that committed the massacre!
Other border crossings are also underway, and the countries being attacked are Fusang, Dayuan, and Yanchi." Shangguan Feiyun said with red eyes.
Even though he was a seven-foot-tall man and had been on the battlefield for a long time, he still felt uncomfortable and indignant when he heard about the massacre.
"Beast!
Beast!
I will make them pay for their crimes with blood, and there will be no return." Li Yun finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily.
"Yun'er, shall we go back? Father is waiting for you to come into the palace to discuss things.
Marquis Dingbei and Duke Huguo request a fight.
They're going to lead the troops and set off the day after tomorrow!" Shangguan Feiyun told Li Yun that the Duke of Huguo and the Marquis of Dingbei were going to war.
"What?
No defense!
They should be.
Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the rise and fall of a country.
As generals, how could they be so cowardly as to not volunteer to fight? " Li Yun was not surprised at all to hear that his father, his adoptive father, was leading the troops into battle.
How could the Duke of Huguo and the Marquis of Dingbei, who were both veterans of the battlefield, not sacrifice their lives and shed their blood for the country?
"Mom, what happened?" With his family members surrounding the room, Sanbao asked Li Yun anxiously and fearfully while knocking on the door.
"It's okay, everyone go back to your rooms and pack your things and go home later." Li Yun calmed down his anger and tried to speak gently so as not to scare his family.
"Yes, Mom (Auntie Yun)!" Although the children were a little depressed and disappointed, they also knew the seriousness of the matter.
My mother (Aunt Yun) must have had her reasons for ending things early.
Besides, I had a lot of fun and ate a lot these two days, so I have no regrets.
Although Chen Mo and Qin Lanlan didn't know what was going on, they always listened to Li Yun and went back to their room to pack their luggage without asking her.
Li Yun also started packing his luggage, and a quarter of an hour later, everyone set out on the road back home.
After returning to the Princess's Mansion, Li Yun and Shangguan Feiyun did not rest. They handed their luggage to Qin Lanlan and hurried into the palace.
The emperor paced anxiously in the imperial study, rubbing and clasping his hands.
"Yun'er, why hasn't Fei'er come yet?" The emperor paced back and forth, talking to himself.
"Your Majesty, the prince and the princess are here!" Eunuch Shen said outside the imperial study when the emperor was anxious and irritable.
"Please come in!" The emperor finally smiled and said to Eunuch Shen.
“Prince, Princess, please!” Eunuch Shen opened the door of the imperial study and respectfully invited Shangguan Feiyun and Li Yun in.
Shangguan Feiyun and Li Yun hurried into the imperial study to pay their respects to the emperor.
"Your son (Jiahui) greets His Majesty, Father. May Your Majesty live a long and healthy life!" Shangguan Feiyun and Li Yun greeted the Emperor in unison.
"No need for formalities!" said the emperor, waving his hand.
"Thank you, Father!" The two of them said in tacit understanding again.
"Yun'er, I asked you to come into the palace. I believe you know what's going on, right?" The emperor's initial irritability had calmed down at this moment, and he asked Li Yun in the same tone as usual.
"Yun'er knows, I wonder what father wants me to do." Li Yun asked the emperor.
"I want to ask, can you take out the grenades this time? As you know, the four countries formed an alliance to attack the Great Jin Dynasty. We have a huge disparity in military strength and we can't win at all." Although the emperor found it a bit difficult to say it, for the sake of the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, even if it would cost him his reputation, he asked Yun'er to take out the grenades and drive away the enemy.
Shangguan Feiyun and the emperor looked at Li Yun anxiously and expectantly, not missing a single expression on her face.
"Father, you have seen the power of grenades. They are extremely lethal.
This kind of hot weapon isn't what's here, and it shouldn't be brought out. After all, its side effects are significant and will bring disaster to the people and the Jin Dynasty. "The Emperor and Shangguan Feiyun knew Li Yun didn't want to take it out when they heard this. They were a little disappointed, but they quickly calmed down.
Yun'er was right. Using grenades could certainly drive away the enemy, but the people's land would not be able to grow crops and they would be displaced.
"But..." Li Yun stretched out the word "but", leaving Shangguan Feiyun and the emperor hanging.
When the emperor and Shangguan Feiyun heard this, they knew that things were turning around. They looked at Li Yun expectantly, hoping to hear the answers they wanted from her.
Li Yun paused, adjusted his tone, and looked at the two top gods, one old and one big, with amusement. Their expressions were like a child who wanted to hear good news. They did not look like the image of a king or a prince at all.
Knowing that they were anxious, Li Yun decided not to tease them anymore.
"They committed such a brutal and inhumane act that is abhorrent to both humans and gods, and is beyond the reach of justice. I believe that even Heaven would not object if they took out the hand grenade, after all, they massacred the people of an entire county.
