Chapter 146 The Emperor is Here
The counselor also felt aggrieved.
But he didn't dare to speak out.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying anything. Even if Prince Lian kills the person directly, there is no way to reverse the current situation.
I saw that the army in the rear was approaching. The vast sea of people with no end in sight surrounded the 100,000-strong army that Prince Lian had finally gathered over the years.
These 100,000 cavalrymen were trained by him with so many years of hard work. They were usually distributed all over the place and hidden in the dark, just waiting for his order. Finally, they would gather at the critical moment and become the sharp blade in his hands.
But now...
The surging waves covered him in a dark mass, like a huge wave hitting the sea, and it seemed that in the next moment, it would smash the few people he brought with him into pieces.
In the outer circle, the 100,000-strong army that had rushed from the border had already taken its stand.
Although there are about 100,000 troops, the difference in momentum is huge.
When Prince Lian and his men saw the approaching army, their faces turned pale and they felt trembling with fear. They did not dare to confront the enemy head-on.
Half the battle has already been lost before the fight even begins.
Prince Lian's heart sank.
"Your Majesty, the army over there needs your help!"
Prince Lian felt dizzy and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who is leading the troops?"
"Your Highness, it's...Princess Dingbei!"
This group of people still don't recognize Prince Yan Fengxiao's identity.
Therefore, Yan Fengxiao is still called King Dingbei.
"Princess Dingbei..."
Prince Lian seemed to be recalling something.
Suddenly, a woman's figure appeared in his eyes.
He had seen this man before. Last time at a palace banquet, he had caused his daughter to be beaten and he himself was also humiliated.
“It turned out to be her!”
He said these four words with gritted teeth.
Prince Lian felt extremely regretful at this moment that he did not try his best to get rid of Yan Fengxiao before she returned!
"Come here, I will go meet him!"
Prince Lian came to the front of the army with a group of guards.
The two armies were facing each other, and outside the huge imperial city, the mountains and plains were already filled with people.
He looked over with cold eyes and saw a frail-looking figure appear at the front of the 100,000-strong army. The woman was wearing a fitted and light red outfit, which was quite conspicuous.
"Lord of Qingwu City? You're at the border, I'm afraid you don't know what's happening in the capital!"
Prince Lian suddenly shouted, and the person he was talking to was the person standing next to Qin Mingzhu.
That person was Lu Yaoting, the mayor of Qingwu City.
City Lord Lu had a calm expression. Although he was the one who led these people here, they were under the command of Yan Fengxiao.
"Prince Lian, surrender and you still have a chance to survive."
Prince Lian narrowed his eyes, his heart already sinking.
The overwhelming momentum of the enemy army was approaching, and even he knew in his heart that there was no chance of fighting.
But he still didn't give up.
"Everyone, Yan Fengxiao plotted treason, murdered the emperor, usurped the throne, and forged the royal bloodline. His crimes are too numerous to list. Do you also intend to bear the eternal infamy with him?"
This time, Prince Lian's voice was filled with sadness, as if he was the victim.
City Lord Lu watched his performance quietly.
Qin Mingzhu spoke at this moment: "Prince Lian, do you want to look back and see who is on the city wall?"
Prince Lian's expression darkened. He did not have a deep impression of Qin Mingzhu. Even now, in his eyes, she was not very important. She was just relying on Yan Fengxiao's prestige to bully others here.
He didn't even believe what Qin Mingzhu said.
But the next moment.
The counselor beside him said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, please look back..."
"What?" Prince Lian was stunned and subconsciously turned around to glance at the wall of the imperial city.
Sure enough, a figure appeared above the city wall. The figure was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and was extremely noble.
The moment he saw that man, Prince Lian felt his mind go blank, his eyes trembled slightly, and his pupils suddenly contracted because of fear!
How is that possible!
It has been more than a month. People in the northern border have said that if you are exposed to even a little bit of the poison, you will definitely die within a month!
But why is the Emperor of Southern Yan standing there intact?
He just felt his steps were a little unsteady. At that moment, the blow of all his fantasies being shattered made him shaky.
The subordinates beside him immediately supported him: "Your Majesty!"
Prince Lian's face was extremely ugly, and his eyes were fixed on the top of the city wall. From a long distance, he couldn't see the expression on his brother's face clearly, but Prince Lian seemed to be able to see a hint of sarcasm on his brother's face.
"It's fake, it must be fake, the emperor must be dead!"
He suddenly shouted loudly, completely unable to believe what he saw.
On the city wall, the Emperor of Southern Yan was protected by the army. Facing the huge army in front of him, he looked at his younger brother with calm eyes.
Even though the enemy army was already at the gates of the city, his expression remained as majestic as ever: "Prince Lian has arbitrarily mobilized a hundred thousand troops to besiege the imperial city with the intention of treason. Capture him!"
At the emperor's command, the armies inside and outside the city were dispatched instantly.
The originally calm lake of people suddenly began to waver. In an instant, the army on one side rushed forward like a wave, leaving Prince Lian no chance to react or quibble.
Because the Emperor of Southern Yan doesn't need it.
Looking at the armies fighting below, he slowly closed his eyes and then sighed softly.
Behind him, Yan Fengxiao was also standing here, but his mood was much calmer. Looking at Prince Lian who was protected by the army below, he suddenly stretched out his hand and said to an archer beside him, "Give it to me."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Get a bow and arrow.
Yan Fengxiao casually pulled out three arrows from the quiver.
Then he placed everything on the bowstring. After that, he aimed his aim at Prince Lian, drew the bow hard, and released his fingers...
Whoosh...
The three arrows pierced through the air with a sound of breaking through the air.
The speed is incredibly fast.
Soon, two of the attacks were blocked by the subordinates who were protecting Prince Lian, and the two men were killed.
However, the third arrow was shot at a tricky angle and pierced Prince Lian's chest, causing him to stagger twice.
"Protect the prince!"
Someone below shouted loudly.
"retreat!"
The moment Prince Lian was shot by an arrow, people around him reacted. Some of his confidants surrounded Prince Lian, while the rest of them resisted the attacks from the front and back.
Then even if they tried their best, they could not stop the border troops coming from behind.
Those people were full of murderous aura, and they were so brave and reckless when they charged in. The people led by Prince Lian were defeated one after another, so how could they be their match?
Fortunately, there are enough people.
If we only protect Prince Lian, some people may still be able to escape.
As soon as the words of retreat were shouted, the pace of defeat increased even faster, and the screams and wails were earth-shaking.
