Volume 1 Chapter 320 How Ridiculous
Zhu Qiyu and the soldiers around him were all stunned with fear. Zhu Qiyu reacted the next moment and knelt down in front of Xiang Yun nervously, not daring to say a word.
After landing, Jiang Fei's mouth oozes blood. He staggers two steps, then kneels down in front of Xiang Yun.
"You are still very tough!" Xiang Yun cursed in a low voice, then strode over and slapped Jiang Fei's wrinkled face, making a loud slapping sound.
The soldiers around all took a breath, but no one dared to speak out to stop it. After all, no one dared to offend the emperor's majesty.
Jiang Fei was really embarrassed. He didn't feel relieved after slapping Xiang Yun once, so he slapped him twice more and asked coldly, "Are you convinced that I'm going to hit you?"
Jiang Fei's breathing was now very rapid, but he was not unable to speak. It was just that he was obviously dissatisfied and angry in his heart. When Xiang Yun asked him questions, he just knelt there but did not speak. Not answering was the best answer.
This action made Xiang Yun's eyes narrow, and it seemed as if the air froze. The next moment, Xiang Yun kicked Jiang Fei in the chest again, causing him to groan involuntarily and fly backwards hundreds of meters, knocking down many military tents, and finally hitting a rock, smashing it into pieces.
After rolling to the ground, Jiang Fei felt excruciating pain all over his body, as if he was torn apart. With such injuries, he could hardly stand up and could only lie on the ground and spit out blood silently.
Xiang Yun walked to Zhu Qiyu again and asked in a cold voice, "How long have you been at Longxi Pass?"
Zhu Qiyu's heart tightened, and he quickly replied: "Your Majesty, it has been seven days."
Xiang Yun's tone became even colder: "Do you still remember the task I assigned to you?"
"Of course I remember!" Zhu Qiyu answered quickly, but the next moment his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his body was shaking involuntarily because of his fear of Xiang Yun.
Xiang Yun then asked: "Then why not go?"
“This…this, this…” Zhu Qiyu was so nervous that he couldn’t speak, and he didn’t know what words to use to answer Xiang Yun.
According to the plan, he should be in the Baiwu Kingdom at this time, on a diplomatic mission to negotiate peace, instead of staying in Longxi Pass with the army that resisted the order.
It’s not that Zhu Qiyu didn’t go on the mission, but that the army of Baiwu Kingdom was outside Longxi Pass. If he led the delegation out of the pass, he would undoubtedly die, which would be tantamount to committing suicide.
That's why Zhu Qiyu stayed in Longxi Pass for so long. As long as the Baiwu Kingdom's army did not retreat, he would not be able to go on the mission.
But how can I tell the emperor about this?
At this moment, Xiang Yun asked coldly: "Are you scared?"
These three words made Zhu Qiyu break out in cold sweats, but he still didn't know what to say to Xiang Yun, so he could only respond in silence like Jiang Fei.
The next moment Xiang Yun continued, "You disappoint me so much. I thought you could do better than Wang Shu, but unfortunately you are too weak and not even half as good as Wang Shu."
Zhu Qiyu was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly, "Your Majesty, Wang Shu...?"
"The army of the Chixiao Dynasty has not retreated yet. Wang Shu only brought a civil official with him and went deep into the Chixiao Dynasty army. Now his life or death is uncertain."
Zhu Qiyu was shocked after hearing this and quickly said, "I am ashamed!"
Xiang Yun said disappointedly: "Forget it, let's go back to Beijing!"
"After you return, submit your resignation. The position of Prime Minister is no longer suitable for you."
"I obey your order!" Zhu Qiyu bowed with a trembling voice.
At this time, Zhao Zhong hurried over with several generals under his command. When they saw that Xiang Yun had actually come in person, they immediately knelt down to greet him.
Xiang Yun was not so kind to Zhao Zhong. When he stood up, he asked directly: "You have received my imperial edict, why don't you withdraw your troops!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhong quickly said, "I am guilty of a capital crime. Your Majesty, please punish me."
"You really deserve to die!" Xiang Yun scolded the generals, "And you, each of you has turned a deaf ear to my imperial edict. If I hadn't come in person, would you still lead these Fire Cloud Army to die? Don't you generals have the slightest guilt in your hearts?"
Suddenly a soldier ran over in a hurry and shouted, "Oh no! The Baiwu Nation army is attacking again!"
Everyone heard this. Zhao Zhong bowed to Xiang Yun and said, "Your Majesty, you can scold me if you want to, and you can kill me if you want to. Now I will lead the troops out of the city to meet the enemy!"
Then Zhao Zhong stood up, looked around and said loudly: "If you are willing to follow me to the battlefield to kill the enemy again, come here!"
After Zhao Zhong finished speaking, he turned around and left decisively. This attitude of ignoring Xiang Yun almost made Xiang Yun angry to death.
Xiang Yun shouted angrily, "Why, you've only been with Jiang Fei for a few days, and you haven't learned any skills, but you've learned his rebellious character to the core!
"If you go out of the city to meet the enemy, what can you use to fight? Are you going to use my soldiers?"
Xiang Yun shouted loudly, and suddenly two streams of golden dragon energy shot out and shot straight at Zhao Zhong.
There was a crisp "crack" sound, and the next moment, Zhao Zhong let out a violent scream, and his body fell down and could not stand up again, because his legs were directly broken by Xiang Yun's Golden Dragon Source Energy just now!
This scene made all the soldiers' eyes red, and anger rose in their hearts. At this time, the shouts of killing were deafening outside Longxi Pass, and the drums of the Baiwu Kingdom's attack continued to roar.
The next moment, the soldiers kneeling around Xiang Yun stood up one by one involuntarily, their faces full of anger. Even Jiang Fei in the distance struggled to get up and go to Longxi Pass to meet the enemy.
An old general said angrily: "Your Majesty, you can not understand the soldiers, you can also order us to retreat, or even kill us all!
But I want to say that as long as we are soldiers of the Dayun Empire, we will never retreat in front of the enemy. As long as we are still here, the borders of the Dayun Empire will not be allowed to be violated by anyone!"
Xiang Yun was shocked and extremely angry when he heard this, and he almost lost his mind.
Xiang Yun didn't understand why things turned out like this. It was clearly these people who disobeyed the emperor's orders, but now it seemed as if he had done something extremely wrong.
Until finally all the soldiers of the Fire Cloud Army stood up, each of them was full of murderous intent and high spirits, completely different from the low morale they had before.
Zhu Qiyu was the only one in the audience still kneeling there, staring blankly and at a loss as to what to do.
Xiang Yun asked angrily: "What do you want to do!"
The Fire Cloud Army said in unison: "We are going to the battlefield to kill the enemy and wipe out the White Mist Army!"
"If we have to die, we have to die on the battlefield. Even if it means disobeying an order, it doesn't matter!"
"That's right, no one in the Huoyun Army is afraid of death!"
"Brothers, kill, kill them together and destroy them!"
"How dare you!" Xiang Yun roared angrily, and a violent dragon roar came out of his body, suppressing the roars of all the soldiers around him.
After the dragon's roar, the whole place fell silent, and everyone looked at Xiang Yun in confusion.
"I will tell all of you today that this war was wrong from the beginning. The millions of Fire Cloud Army soldiers who died died in vain from beginning to end!
If I wanted to fight, I would not be afraid of the White Mist Nation's army, and so many people would not have died. Your so-called passionate war is nothing but mindless stupidity!"
The whole audience was silent, but it was obvious that everyone turned a deaf ear to Xiang Yun's words. The credibility of such words was too low.
Xiang Yun looked around and said in a cold voice: "Today I will let you see how easy it is for me to deal with the White Mist Nation's army if a war breaks out, and how ridiculous your sacrifice is!"
