"When those weapons are stained with fuel, they burst into flames in an instant, and the soldiers who survive within the circle of fire will be burned alive. What is most frustrating is that I have no idea how many weapons are underground."
"This humble general cannot allow the remaining six thousand soldiers to knowingly go to their deaths!"
The lieutenant explained at the top of his lungs.
Emperor Yan had no intention of listening to these excuses. He simply waved his hand, and someone immediately stepped forward and dragged away the deputy general.
Only when screams rang out from outside the palace did the Emperor Yan feel a slight relief from the pent-up frustration in his heart.
But when Emperor Yan thought of the deadly weapon in Zhou Cheng's hand, and that Zhou Cheng would soon arrive at the border to meet with Zhou Zhenguang, his heart pounded, and he couldn't suppress the ominous and uneasy premonition.
Suddenly!
Emperor Yan raised his head and looked at the Crown Prince beside him, who was bowing his head and remaining silent: "Last time you asked me to spare the life of the Lin family girl..."
The Crown Prince quickly snapped out of his gloomy and resentful mood and gently replied, "Father, Lin Jiaoyun is Zhou Cheng's beloved. The whole capital knows that Zhou Cheng values her more than his own life."
"I was afraid something might happen, which is why I asked you to keep her here."
"With Lin Jiaoyun around, Zhou Cheng will definitely be threatened."
Emperor Yan narrowed his eyes as he listened to these words, pondering with his index finger and thumb.
As the emperor, he had heard a lot about how devoted Zhou Cheng had been to Lin Jiaoyun over the past three years, but he didn't know the details, only the general idea.
quite a while,
Emperor Yan then asked with a solemn expression, "To what extent can Zhou Cheng do for Lin Jiaoyun?"
"Based on how much Zhou Cheng has valued Lin Jiaoyun over the past three years, I think... even if Lin Jiaoyun sheds just a couple of tears, Zhou Cheng would risk everything for her, even if it means facing a life-or-death crisis."
"As for Zhou Cheng giving up on Lin Jiaoyun last month and publicly humiliating her, it was simply because he was afraid that the Zhou family's actions would implicate the Lin family."
"He was able to plan every step carefully for Lin Jiaoyun, which shows how much he loved her."
If Zhou Cheng heard these words, he would probably laugh until his teeth bleed.
And what about the connections?
How much more do you love me?
If the system hadn't mistaken his target, would he have had to be such a pathetic and subservient lapdog for three years? Would his eldest sister, Zhou Shiying, who once doted on him the most, have become so disillusioned with him that she randomly chose a marriage to marry someone far away?
He might already have the whole world by now!
"well!"
After inquiring about the details, Emperor Yan got the answer he wanted and immediately gave an order: "I have heard that the young master of the Qin family has long admired Lin Jiaoyun and is Zhou Cheng's most hated rival in love."
"deliver an imperial order."
"The young master of the Qin family and Lin Jiaoyun will be married in half a month."
"Zhou Cheng values Lin Jiaoyun so much that he almost lost his life several times for her. If I marry his most beloved woman to his most hated rival, he will surely be heartbroken and unable to sleep at night."
"On the day of the wedding, Zhou Cheng will definitely come to the capital to rescue Lin Jiaoyun."
Given past examples, Emperor Yan absolutely did not believe that Zhou Cheng could endure such humiliation, nor did he believe that Zhou Cheng would stand by and watch Lin Jiaoyun get married.
What can you do even if you know it's a trap?
Given Zhou Cheng's love for Lin Jiaoyun, even if it's a dead end, that simp will crawl back step by step to take Lin Jiaoyun away!
Especially when Lin Jiaoyun learned that Emperor Yan had ordered her to marry the young master of the Qin family.
She cried and screamed, her heart breaking, and immediately, following Eunuch Ma's advice, wrote a letter to Zhou Cheng: "Zhou Cheng, sob sob sob..."
"His Majesty wants to marry me off to that fat bastard and imprison me! I don't want to! I don't want to! I don't want to!"
"Please come back and save me, waaaaah..."
