"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Helian Chen was not the kind of person who didn't know what was good for him.
He knew in his heart that the sage was giving him an opportunity to make a name for himself!
Moreover, it's just a matter of riding a hot air balloon and throwing the small porcelain bottle out; anyone can do that.
Not to mention that Helian Chen is also a fine young man who is skilled in both literature and martial arts!
Helian Chen knelt down and kowtowed deeply in gratitude.
"Alright! We're all brothers, why act like a little girl?"
"And this time, it's not entirely without danger either!"
Seeing Helian Chen's expression, Helian Jue, seemingly sarcastic but actually offering a warning, said, "The Turks are skilled in riding and archery. Although the Kongming lantern can keep you suspended in mid-air, you must also be wary of their arrows!"
The Turks were quite formidable in martial arts.
There should be no shortage of skilled archers in the army.
The small porcelain bottle was indeed extremely powerful and very intimidating.
However, those veteran soldiers, after the initial panic and fear, should be able to identify the problem.
If the Turkic prince had been a little smarter and calmer, he would have found a skilled archer.
With a hail of arrows raining down, Helian Chen, suspended in mid-air, was in grave danger!
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will certainly be cautious!"
Helian Chen responded respectfully and kept Helian Jue's words in mind.
"Alright! You may leave now. I still want to go and take a look at the city gate!"
In Lingnan, Helian Jue had already witnessed the power of the small porcelain bottle.
However, back then they were all experiments, and what was destroyed were just some hillsides and dilapidated houses.
Helian Jue had never used the small porcelain bottle on the battlefield, nor had he witnessed its destructive power against the enemy.
Helian Jue, who harbors a ferocious beast within him, still occasionally yearns for bloodshed, even with Xie Yuan as his tether!
Moreover, those people outside the city are not innocent at all.
They stormed into the capital as if it were their own backyard.
In fact, there are towns and villages along the way.
They still traveled unimpeded, not because there were no obstacles, but because those who tried to stop them were all killed.
Of course, someone secretly let the fish in, deliberately allowing the jackals to enter.
However, soldiers and innocent civilians were still killed!
As the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Helian Jue had all his subjects, including the common people and soldiers.
Helian Jue is determined to uphold justice for them!
Blood debts must be repaid with blood!
"Ashina He, now it's time to enjoy the divine power of heavenly lightning!"
Helian Jue left the palace and arrived at the city gate tower of the capital.
Wang, Cui, Zheng, and other important court officials all followed closely behind.
Regardless of their inner thoughts, on the surface they all appear to be loyal and virtuous officials who care about the country and its people!
"Your Majesty, a wise man avoids dangerous situations; you shouldn't have come here!"
Wang Yu continued to feign persuasion.
Helian Jue smiled faintly, "It's alright! I just want to see how these barbarians are defeated by my divine soldiers descending from the heavens!"
At this point, Helian Jue stopped keeping everyone in suspense.
He made it clear: I still have a trump card up my sleeve!
"Divine soldiers descending from the heavens?"
Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously looked at Cui and Zheng.
Prime Ministers Cui and Zheng also looked puzzled.
What heavenly soldiers and generals?
Is it one of those giant balloons again?
But they all saw Helian Jue fly over Tangquan Palace that day.
The strange ball was very large, but the basket hanging below it was not.
At most, only three to five people can stand there.
Using this thing to transport troops would be too much of a hassle!
But if it's just a few people, there are five thousand Turkic cavalry outside the city—this, this—
The three prime ministers instinctively disbelieved it, but then they thought again: Helian Jue can fly, so it doesn't seem impossible for him to summon heavenly soldiers and generals!
"Let's see!"
"Perhaps it's just Helian Jue putting on a show of force."
"Not necessarily! He might really have prepared reinforcements! It's just that they won't be divine intervention as he claims!"
"Then let's take another look—"
The three prime ministers exchanged quick glances, communicating silently.
Large families like theirs are used to betting on multiple fronts.
Regardless of who wins, at most a few members will become cannon fodder, but the entire family will remain undefeated.
For example, this time.
If the Turkic prince really breached the city, they would "persuade" Helian Jue to negotiate peace.
If Helian Jue had repelled the Turks, they could have found one or two scapegoats for "colluding with foreign enemies" after the investigation.
No matter what they do, they can maintain high positions and ensure the prosperity of their families.
"Helian Jue, I have heard that you murdered your father and usurped the throne. Although I am a Turk, I despise your actions!"
"I, Ashina He, have led 5,000 elite troops to avenge Emperor Helian Gui of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
The youngest son of the Turkic Khan was named He.
He had studied in the Great Zhou Dynasty in his early years, so he could speak the official language of the Great Zhou.
He was quite clever; instead of admitting he was there to plunder, he put on the guise of "righteousness."
They also conveniently framed Helian Jue for patricide and regicide.
This ability to turn the tables and make baseless accusations is nothing like that of a Turkic nobleman who only knows how to kill.
Helian Jue stood on the city wall, hands behind his back, looking down at Ashina He, who was riding a horse and shouting in front of the battle.
"Hey, not bad, Ashina He, you've even learned to talk nonsense!"
"He's a bloodthirsty mad dog, yet he puts on a hypocritical act of righteousness. He's utterly shameless!"
