They should have been eliminated when they entered the capital.
Huang Han had hoped to use their strength to eliminate the rebels in Yuyang, but they turned out to be useless. Feeling the gaze of the Zhou Emperor, Huang Han bowed even lower.
It is also unsuccessful to use the pretext of enfeoffing feudal lords to lure people to Shangjun.
Does this mean the Great Zhou Dynasty is doomed to perish?
No, even if the Great Zhou Dynasty is to perish, I will make them die before me.
"Summon Sheng Xiao to see me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing Zhou Huang's words, Huang Han quickly withdrew.
Jiang Yu, Gu Yucheng, and the others did not return to the battlefield.
Yan Gong watched from the rear, and naturally took in everything that happened on the battlefield.
He looked at Jiang Yu and Gu Yucheng without showing any emotion, and then glanced at Qi Nuan and Ye Sheng beside them.
Things have become a bit complicated.
Jiang Yu and Gu Yucheng seemed to sense something; they exchanged a glance, but quickly looked away.
When Qi Nuan saw the two of them looking at each other, it was as if she saw their future reflected in their eyes.
However, Emperor Zhou's actions were quite strange, as if he knew something.
It was not Qi Nuan who noticed this abnormality.
Everyone present noticed that something was wrong.
But no one said it out loud.
Watching Ye Sheng and Gu Yucheng leave, Qi Nuan sighed inwardly.
He said to Jiang Yu, "Yu, you must not go to the battlefield anymore. You should stay in the rear with Lord Yan to control the overall situation."
Seeing Qi Nuan's confident words, Yan Gong's eyes flickered slightly.
Jiang Yu nodded, but he still wanted to test whether Emperor Zhou was only targeting him and Gu Yucheng.
"His Majesty."
Sheng Xiao approached Emperor Zhou and bowed.
Emperor Zhou glanced at Sheng Xiao, who was kneeling on one knee, knowing that Sheng Xiao was absolutely loyal.
Her gaze softened as she looked at him.
"General, please rise."
Sheng Xiao stood up, wondering why the Emperor Zhou had summoned him. After all, the Emperor Zhou had rarely sought him out since moving to Changsha.
Even political affairs were decided by Sheng Xiao himself.
If Sheng Xiao hadn't insisted on presenting the memorial, Emperor Zhou probably wouldn't have even bothered to look at it.
However, he disregarded the danger and followed the army to Hengshan, and today he has come to this city wall.
This is quite surprising.
"I order you to kill Jiang Yu, Gu Yucheng, and the two women beside them at all costs. No matter the price, I want them dead."
Sheng Xiao looked up and was startled by the fierce look in Zhou Huang's eyes.
But on second thought, Jiang Yu and Gu Yucheng are the most famous among the rebels now, so it's not hard to understand why His Majesty wants to kill them.
He naturally wanted to kill the two of them, but that would probably be difficult.
Emperor Zhou could tell what Sheng Xiao was thinking just by looking at his expression.
His voice carried a sense of nostalgia.
Do you remember the prophecy made by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau many years ago?
Sheng Xiao certainly remembered that it was the nonsense of such a villain that had led to such chaos in the world. He didn't know why His Majesty wanted to bring this up again.
"The ones who have brought chaos to my realm are Jiang Yu and Gu Yucheng. Once they are dead, everyone else is nothing but a rabble."
Sheng Xiao looked up at Emperor Zhou.
this……
"Therefore, you must kill them both. Once they are dead, the world will be at peace."
Seeing Zhou Huang's unwavering resolve, Sheng Xiao was at a loss for words. Although the two of them were now a great threat to the world, Sheng Xiao did not believe that the chaos in the world was caused by them.
The chaos in the world is mostly caused by the people around us, but Your Majesty shows no remorse.
Instead, they insisted on those absurd claims.
Sheng Xiao looked at the person in front of him, feeling somewhat disappointed.
However, he also intends to eliminate Jiang Yu and Gu Yucheng.
Born in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he should be loyal to the Great Zhou to the death.
Meanwhile, Gu Yucheng also talked to Ye Sheng about the prophecy from back then.
"So, you suspect that Emperor Zhou is targeting us because of a prophecy."
Although Ye Sheng came from the modern era and has many things about her that cannot be explained by science, she herself does not really believe in celestial phenomena.
The changes in the stars are simply a natural law.
However, it is highly likely that Emperor Zhou was targeting them because of this incident. But they and Emperor Zhou were already irreconcilable enemies. Even without the celestial phenomenon, Emperor Zhou would not let them go.
What Gu Yucheng was concerned about was whether the Zhou Emperor was targeting him alone, or whether he was also targeting Jiang Yu.
He had a feeling that the Zhou Emperor was not targeting him alone.
He doesn't completely disbelieve in the concept of destiny like Ye Sheng does; instead, he observes it from the sidelines. However, if destiny falls upon someone else, then regardless of whether he believes in it or not, that person shouldn't exist.
He had a hunch that perhaps only one of him and Jiang Yu could survive.
Thinking of Yan Gong beside Jiang Yu, his mood was not very pleasant.
There has been a method of judging character in the Central Plains since ancient times, and it is said that Yan Gong, who is very skilled in this art, chose Jiang Yu's side, which is not very advantageous for them.
Seeing the worry on Gu Yucheng's face.
His advisor, Jiang Xu, stepped forward. Indeed, Jiang Xu was also a member of the Jiang family.
The Jiang family has always been known for its strategists.
The Jiang family has played a crucial role in driving major events around the world.
However, Gu Yucheng was not without talented and extraordinary people like Yan Gong by his side.
"If the general has any concerns, why not let Master Xu come and observe?"
Gu Yucheng nodded. He was just about to send someone to Langya to invite Master Xu. He felt that neither Jiang Yu nor Emperor Zhou should act this way.
Qi Nuan, however, suspected that the Zhou Emperor might know something.
Neither the Battle of Julu nor the conferment of titles upon the ruler of Shangjun seemed like things that the Zhou emperor himself should have done.
Moreover, apart from Jiang Yu, the fate of Emperor Zhou is completely different from that in the original book.
She believes in the butterfly effect, but perhaps something else has changed more.
Since Ye Sheng was able to travel to this world and into this book, other things are not impossible.
For example, rebirth, prophecy, or even the awakening of consciousness.
Who knows what else might happen?
As Yan Gong stared at Jiang Yu and Gu Yucheng, Qi Nuan noticed the extremely subtle gaze that Yan Gong was giving them.
Thinking about the rather complicated relationships among them, and Yan Gong's physiognomy skills.
Qi Nuan couldn't help but feel a desire to test him.
After seeing that everyone around him was trustworthy, he then spoke to Yan Gongdao:
"It is said that heavenly secrets should not be revealed, and those who reveal them will be punished by heaven. I have heard that Master Yan is skilled in physiognomy. Would it be considered to reveal heavenly secrets by telling me based on my appearance?"
Upon hearing Qi Nuan's question, Yan Gong knew what she was going to do; her reaction was quick.
Yan Gong looked at Qi Nuan with a smile.
"The secrets of heaven that can be observed are the glimmer of hope given by heaven. As for whether they can be revealed, that depends on whether they can be observed."
Qi Nuan didn't understand these ambiguous words, but she understood what Yan Gong meant: if it could be observed, then it could be explained clearly.
