Jun Zegan knew that this would be the result. How could his father allow Ruoyi to be detained in the palace?
"Father, it was Ruoyi who told me to come back. I think she has her own plan, so we should not interfere with her." Jun Ze said with a smile: "Don't worry, she will definitely not let herself be wronged."
At this time, there was a chuckle at the door, and Ye Lao waved his hand: "Prince, Prince, sorry to bother you." He raised his hand and pointed to the medicine box: "I'm here to change your medicine."
Jun Zegan stood up and said, "Thank you for your help."
Ye Lao walked to the side of the City King. The City King's eyes fell on him. He couldn't help but frowned and whispered: "I have seen you before."
Without stopping to open the medicine box, Elder Ye smiled and said, "I have an ordinary appearance. Besides, many people in this world look exactly the same. I think the prince mistook me for someone else."
“Few people know that I have a photographic memory.” The City King said with certainty, “If I say I have seen you, then I have definitely seen you.”
Elder Ye skillfully applied medicine to his wound and handed him a pill: "Although your wound is deep, it is healing very well. I think it will heal in no time. This pill will help you recover."
The King of the City's gaze fell on the pill, and at this moment, a scar on Old Ye's palm caught his eye.
His body was struck by lightning, and he stared at the scar in a daze. After a while, he looked at Old Ye and said in a deep voice, "It was you who broke into the palace at night and took her away."
Ye Lao smiled and said, "I don't understand what the prince means."
He suddenly stood up and said angrily, "Who are you? You took my Roujia away earlier, and now you are next to Ruoyi. What are you doing?"
Old Ye's eyes were cold: "I didn't expect that the prince still remembered the scar on your hand." He looked at his palm, smiled and said: "This scar was given by the prince, but I didn't expect that after so many years, you can still recognize it."
"This wound was caused by my big ring knife. I am very familiar with this wound." The City King said coldly, "What are you trying to do?"
"If I say I have no intention, can Your Majesty believe me?"
"How is that possible? Didn't you go to the palace to take Roujia away?"
"I won't do anything to harm her, please rest assured, Your Majesty." Old Ye smiled and said, "On the contrary, as long as she needs me, I will protect her even at the cost of my life." After saying that, he picked up the medicine box and turned to leave.
"What nonsense!" the King of the City said loudly, "He is plotting against your mother and your sister."
"Father." Jun Zegan sighed, "I thought that Ruoyi would be able to deal with the current situation. The most important thing now is the emperor. The emperor asked me to attack Guo Shun and seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. The soldiers guarding the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were originally He Jingheng's troops. Although they are not to be feared, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are extremely important to Guo Shun. They can attack or defend. As long as Emperor Guo Shun is not a fool, he will never give up this land. When the two armies fight, Guo Shun will definitely send the Dingguo Palace to lead troops to help. Now the Dingguo Palace is different from the past. Since Ruoyi has married there, the Dingguo Palace is her in-laws. If a fight really breaks out, Ruoyi will be caught in the middle in the future, which will definitely be very difficult."
The King of the City nodded, "Yes, and the national strength of 罭顺 is already above that of the Western Regions. If a war really breaks out, we will have the advantage of a surprise attack. 绩 may not be a match for 罭顺. The most important thing is those innocent people who have been displaced by the war. A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of lives. This king hates people saying that I am a god of war who will be remembered for thousands of years. You know, just the word "god of war" is enough to make me breathless!"
At this moment, a voice came from the door: "Your Majesty, the emperor's decree has arrived, and the eunuch is waiting in the main hall, waiting for the prince to receive the decree!"
The father and son came to the main hall, and the eunuch who announced the decree said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are not in good health, the emperor has exempted you from kneeling..."
Before he could finish, the King of the City sat directly on the chair and said, "I am injured. I don't think the Emperor will let me kneel down to listen to His Majesty's orders."
"Yes, yes, yes."
The emperor and the prince were so angry about the little princess that they were jumping up and down. Isn’t the person who really supports her the King of the City? Now, let alone sitting to listen to the imperial edict, he could even lie down or stand upside down to listen. Why not?
Besides, who doesn't know that the emperor has detained the little princess in the palace? The whole Western Regions knew about the City King's precious daughter. He was so kind to his adopted daughter, let alone his own biological daughter.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the will of the Emperor, has ordered the Crown Prince of Cheng, Jun Zegan, to be the general and lead 100,000 soldiers to expand the territory and seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. This is the order." He handed the imperial edict over: "Crown Prince, accept it!"
Jun Zegan frowned slightly. If he accepted the imperial edict at this time, it would mean that the Western Regions declared war on 罭顺. But if he did not accept it, it would be disobeying the imperial edict.
Whether advancing or retreating, it is extremely difficult.
"Give me the imperial edict!" The King of the City whispered, "Thank you for your help, eunuch."
"Your Highness is too polite." The eunuch smiled and said, "Now that you have read the imperial edict, I will return."
After the father-in-law left, Jun Zegan stood up from the ground and said, "Father, what about the eyes?"
The City King sneered, "Wait."
"wait?"
"That's right. Although we received the imperial edict, the emperor did not ask you to send it immediately. He detained your sister in the palace to coerce her. He did not care about the relationship between brothers. Then there is no need for me to guard the border for him. When he thinks it through and returns your sister, I will consider whether to send troops or not."
Jun Zegan raised his eyebrows slightly. With a hint of smile on his face, in his impression, his father had always taken it as his duty to guard the border of the Western Regions. Not only that, his father also made him like him. The emperor's words were the imperial edict and he must obey them. When his mother was alive, his father never wasted a single day, and sometimes even led troops to fight and only returned after a year or two.
He never thought that one day his father would be like this, disobeying the order.
At this moment, Nan Churan came hurriedly with a note in his hand.
"Your Highness, Ah Gan." Nan Churan said in a deep voice, "It's over."
"What's the matter?" He took the note, his eyes instantly turned cold: "Massacre?"
Nan Churan nodded: "Yes, our people got the news that the emperor said it himself, but it is inconvenient to write it in the imperial edict. If you only seize the city, you will be ordered to massacre the city. Ah Gan, what should we do?"
"Is this true?" the City King asked in a deep voice.
Nan Churan nodded, "Absolutely true." He turned to look at Jun Zegan, "Agan, no! If the city is really massacred, it will not be the emperor who will bear the blame, but you! This is not written in the imperial edict. Maybe the emperor wants to frame the Chengwang Mansion. After we help him conquer more cities and massacre the cities, he will issue an edict saying that we are vicious and will not even let go of the helpless civilians. By then, even if we have a hundred mouths, we will not be able to explain ourselves clearly."
