Hearing this, some people in the crowd immediately dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"I surrender..."
"I surrender..."
"We all surrender..."
Watching the weapons fall to the ground one by one and the soldiers of Beihai Kingdom kneeling down one by one, Liu Dechang had a smug smile on his face.
He clasped his fists and said to Leng Zian and Huang Shixiong, "You two, thank you for your hard work. The Emperor is waiting for you over there."
Hearing this, Leng Zian glanced at Liu Dechang and then asked in surprise:
"You mean, Yu'er has ascended the throne as emperor?"
Liu Dechang nodded.
"Yes, today is the 18th day of the first lunar month. The late emperor has issued the imperial decree to confer the title, and the new emperor's coronation ceremony has been completed."
"etc……"
Leng Zi'an felt something was wrong, so he waved his hand.
"What did you say? The late emperor? What does the late emperor mean? Shouldn't he be called the retired emperor?"
It turned out that Leng Zian didn't know that the emperor had passed away.
Liu Dechang sighed somewhat sadly.
"The Grand Emperor passed away yesterday. His body is now in the palace and will be buried the day after tomorrow."
Hearing this, Leng Zian shuddered, then shook his head in disbelief.
"How could it be? How could it be so fast?"
Huang Shixiong sighed and shook his head.
"The late emperor mentioned in his letter to us that he was in poor health and hoped for our early return. Who would have thought that we wouldn't even get to see him."
At this point, Huang Shixiong's eyes turned red. Leng Zian turned his horse around and headed straight towards Leng Yu without caring about anything.
He was anxious to go to the palace to see his brother, perhaps he would never see him again in this life.
Leng Yu was talking with Meng Letu at this time. It turned out that Meng Letu had long known that the people of Beihai Kingdom had evil intentions, and he had been ordering people to investigate secretly.
Until he heard that Leng Yu ascended the throne on the 18th day of the first lunar month and that people from the Beihai Kingdom often moved around the capital, he expected that people from the Beihai Kingdom would definitely cause some trouble today.
So he chose a good day and brought the best soldiers and generals of Chu to reinforce.
Leng Yu clasped his hands together and looked at him seriously.
"Thank you, King Meng, for saving us. The grudges of the previous generation should end with ours. I hope that Daning and Chu will remain friends forever, never to fight again. Do you agree?"
As soon as he said this, Meng Letu nodded happily. "To be honest, this is exactly why I came here. Putting aside the fact that there is no conflict of interest between our two countries, the fact that Meng Yue and my aunt live in Daning State alone means that our two countries should get along in a friendly manner. After hearing what you said today, I feel enlightened."
Leng Yu clasped his fists again,
"If you, the Prince of Zhennan, and the Prince of Pingliao had not intervened in time, I would have lost my Great Ning Kingdom to someone else. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If there is any trouble in the future, just send someone to deliver a message to me. As long as I can do it, I will spare no effort to do it."
Meng Letu has always been looking forward to establishing friendly relations with the Daning Kingdom. Now that the old emperor has passed away and Leng Yu has ascended the throne, this is truly a perfect opportunity.
He quickly agreed.
"Okay, then let's reach an agreement. From now on, Chu and Daning will be friends forever and war is forbidden."
At this moment, Leng Zian and Huang Shixiong came riding in. Leng Yu hurried forward to greet them. Huang Shixiong jumped off his horse, but Leng Zian did not dismount. Instead, he said in a cold and urgent voice:
"Go back to the palace. I want to see my deceased brother."
Leng Yu's heart sank at this moment.
All these things happened at the same time, making him feel physically and mentally exhausted, but he still had to pretend to be calm.
Without saying much, he immediately asked everyone to mount their horses and head straight for the capital.
…
After Leng Xi was sent to Prince Xi's Mansion by A Yu and A Hou, Luo Lan ordered them to guard the door while she took him into the operating room.
Leng Xi's wound was very deep, and he had pulled out the sword directly, causing excessive blood loss. He was in danger of dying at any time, so she had to perform surgery on him immediately.
Although she was very worried about Leng Yu's safety on the battlefield, she felt more at ease knowing that reinforcements had arrived.
When performing surgery on a patient, she cannot and dare not be distracted.
At this moment, she didn't dare to think about anything else and was focused on Leng Xi performing the operation.
Although the man in front of him had done many evil things, he went out of the city to meet the enemy today, and even after being injured, he continued to kill the enemy regardless of everything. Therefore, Luo Lan felt that he did the right thing in this matter.
This is how we should behave as human beings. When faced with major issues, we should be able to distinguish right from wrong.
…
Leng Zian came to the coffin of the retired emperor, held the coffin with his hands, and knelt on the ground crying bitterly.
"Brother Huang, why did you leave? Why didn't you wait for me to come back and see you? All along the way, I've been reminiscing about the times we played together when we were little. I originally thought that now that Yu'er has ascended the throne, you won't have to worry about me taking your throne anymore, and you won't hate me anymore. I can stay with you for two more days, and have a few drinks with you, but...but I didn't expect that you wouldn't even let me see you one last time. How can you still be so cruel?"
Although his words were full of reproach, everyone present could hear that he was upset and felt sad for not being able to see his brother for the last time.
Huang Shixiong stepped forward, lit three incense sticks, bowed three times, and as he inserted the incense, he shook his head and sighed:
"This old minister has come to rescue you according to your will. Although I am late, thankfully Yu'er... no, I should call you Your Majesty. Fortunately, Your Majesty is fine. Please rest assured!"
After hearing this, Leng Yu finally understood. It turned out that his father had long anticipated that today would be an extraordinary day, so he sent letters to Leng Zian and Huang Shixiong in advance, asking them to return to the capital before the 18th day of the first lunar month to help Leng Yu.
