"Then I won't say anything from now on, okay?" Murong Qingyun felt very powerless. At this moment, he felt that even if he had married Wanyan Yuewu, it wouldn't be so miserable!
Murong Yan glared at Murong Qingyun, knowing that she was being unreasonable. Although the nameless anger in her heart still did not subside, she had to stop making a fuss.
"I'm sorry, my lower body has been itching badly lately, and I'm in a bad mood. Let's leave the palace. The poison in our bodies is becoming increasingly uncontrollable. Our wounds won't heal, and our lower bodies are rotten. How can we assassinate Baili Xiao?"
"Forget it, we still have 400,000 troops and a hundred cannons. If Baili Xiao doesn't give us the antidote, the worst that can happen is we'll fight them to the death. I don't believe that when we bombard the residential areas where the people are concentrated, Baili Xiao will still dare not give us the antidote when she is so exhausted."
Murong Qingyun immediately rejected the idea, saying, "No! I am determined to seize the throne of Nanyue. If we bombard innocent civilians with artillery fire, we will become criminals of Nanyue. Even if we take the throne in the future, we will be overthrown by the people."
Murong Yan sneered: "Before you think about the people, you should think about yourself first! If you don't even have your life, why would you care about the people? Are they your parents, brothers, sisters, wives, or sons?
Let me tell you, those who wear leather shoes are afraid of those who go barefoot. If we lose our lives, we will lose everything. We can’t even swallow our anger. You still want to return the country!"
Seeing Murong Qingyun frown, Murong Yan said, "Let me tell you another truth. Four-legged frogs are hard to find in this world, but two-legged people are everywhere. How many people are there in the entire Jiuzhou Continent? It can be said that the thing that is least lacking is people.
In our previous life, there was a Qin Shi Huang, whose cruelty and ruthlessness were well-known throughout history. However, Qin Shi Huang still relied on his cruelty to unify the seven kingdoms and became a hegemon.
Sometimes people are just mean, and their endurance is unlimited. Maybe your cruelty will make some people rise up in resistance, but strength is the bottom line. As long as you have strength and an army, you have the final say in this world.
"When the bold rebels die, the remaining people are pure and honest, making it easier to rule. So if you want to conquer the world, at least don't show any mercy when you're trying to do it."
Seeing Murong Qingyun's silence, Murong Yan continued, "We are not in good health right now, so we will leave the assassination as you wish. We will temporarily put it aside and leave the palace immediately. It has been half a month now, and we should go find Murong Xue to get the antidote.
Regardless of whether she has the antidote or not, we must return to Fengling Pass immediately. Now that your father has been captured and the morale of the Fengling Pass troops is unstable, we must return as soon as possible. No matter what, that is the most important place for us.
If we lose our army and artillery, we will be completely helpless. We don’t need to worry about anything else.”
Murong Qingyun nodded and cursed, "Damn it! If we hadn't been spanked 50 times by that damn Concubine Duan and still haven't recovered, we would have stayed in the capital for five or six days at most. How could we have to run into the palace like this, get spanked, and then leave? Damn, this is so frustrating!"
"Forget it, let's just take it as a lesson learned. We should never do such a thing again. Our lives are the most important.
