"General Qingyun is a veteran general, and I naturally understand his loyalty to Your Majesty. But have you considered the thoughts of the other soldiers of the Nan family?"
Nan Qingyun raised his head and said, "Your Highness can rest assured. Liangcheng's request for help was just General Nan's insistence on doing things his own way."
"Now that General Nan is dead, they will naturally listen to me."
I'll listen to you?
The murderous intent in Qin Yuezhao's eyes intensified.
"Since that's the case, I will open the city gates. The only question is whether the Southern Army is willing to go with you..."
Nan Qingyun held his head high arrogantly.
"Your Highness need not worry about that."
Liangcheng has secretly hoarded grain and water. Once he informs the Crown Prince of this, the Crown Prince will surely send a large army to take over Liangcheng. Let's see how arrogant Qin Yuezhao can be then!
Qin Yue Zhao's face was so gloomy it could drip water.
But she didn't show it; instead, she had long been prepared to "die for her country"!
Not long after, she summoned Huo's army and General Nan to stand at the main city gate.
The main city square, which had been empty, was bustling with people.
Nan Qingyun stood on the city wall with the commander of the Huo family army.
Nan Qingyun sat high on his horse, followed by those infected with the plague, as well as those led by Shen Nuo, and about three thousand Nan family soldiers.
Seeing them about to leave the city, Shen Nuo was the first to block their way at the gate, shouting to the people in the crowd:
"Brothers of the Southern Army, the world is suffering from a severe drought. There is no water or food. Even if you return to the Southern City, what good will it do?"
Upon hearing this, some soldiers of the Southern Army shouted:
"But we don't want to die! There's a plague in Liangcheng. If we don't get out now, are we just going to wait here to die?"
"Yes, what if the Northern Barbarians and other countries join forces to attack again? The people here are all sick, how can they withstand it?"
"This world ultimately belongs to His Majesty. We will return to report to His Majesty and then come to join His Highness."
Reporting to Your Majesty, inform the people of the capital about what is happening here, and ask them to return and reunite.
At that time, it probably won't be a reunion, but a blatant usurpation!
Shen Nuo wasn't stupid; he immediately turned cold.
"Nonsense! His Highness is all-powerful and guarantees that every soldier will receive treatment. How could he go back on his word?"
"Furthermore, if you return to Nancheng, you will surely bring the plague to the people of Nancheng. Brothers of the Nan family, have you forgotten General Nan's dying words? 'We will not return until Loulan is conquered, to protect our homeland and defend the border!'"
Hearing this, the Nan family army wavered somewhat.
Seeing this, Nan Qingyun quickly added fuel to the fire.
"Shen Nuo, you were originally a dog that General Nan picked up, and now you really think you're General Nan's successor?"
"The Southern Army should follow His Majesty's orders in everything they do; you have no right to interfere!"
