"You bastard, the one who bumped into Zheng'er's bloodline will have your entire family wiped out!"
Grandpa Hua immediately crawled on the ground, trembling all over, and kowtowed repeatedly. The wound on his head that had been bandaged was reopened. Even though it hurt, it was much better than being executed along with his entire family.
"Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!"
There was once a female official who served the second prince. When she was serving food, she accidentally spilled some soup on the prince's robe. The emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty dragged her out and fed her to a spirit beast, and also executed her entire family.
"Tell me, what happened!"
To avoid offending Murong Zheng, the Western Jin emperor suppressed his anger and asked the question.
"Your Majesty, it is... it is Jialan who has dispatched troops, and they are already outside the city gates!"
The Western Jin emperor was startled; it had come earlier than he had anticipated. "Approximately how many troops have they sent?"
"Less than 200,000! Captain Wu and Lieutenant Mo have already led their troops forward."
Upon hearing this, the Western Jin emperor snorted coldly. Before he could say anything, a deafening explosion rang out, and the entire earth shook.
The Western Jin emperor hurriedly placed the blood in his hand on the table, saying, "Zheng'er, quickly drink the blood!"
Murong Zheng remained unmoved.
"Report!"
Another urgent voice came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the city gates have fallen, and Commandant Wu is dead..."
"Report!"
Another urgent sound came through.
"Your Majesty, nearly half of the 300,000 elite troops of the Western Jin Dynasty have been poisoned and are unable to fight!"
"Report!"
"Deputy General Mo is seriously injured... Your Majesty must leave immediately!"
"Report..."
One bad report after another made the Western Jin emperor dizzy and disoriented. He staggered a few steps and slumped into a chair.
How could this happen! How could this happen!
He wanted to say something, but no sound came out of his throat.
"Report!"
"Galan's soldiers are heading to the city lord's mansion!"
In a panic, Eunuch Hua, not wanting to die, hurriedly crawled to the Western Jin Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, hurry, or it will be too late!"
"Your Majesty, take the Second Prince and leave quickly! It seems we cannot hold onto Wangfeng City!"
Wu Ji said, coming back to his senses. He couldn't care less about anything else and hurriedly pulled Murong Zheng up, but Murong Zheng shook off his hands. Turning around, he saw Murong Zheng pick up the blood on the table and drink it.
The scarlet eyes returned to their normal color, and the ears on its head disappeared.
"You, go, we've found it!"
After Murong Zheng finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving the others stunned on the spot.
The Western Jin emperor was stunned. This was the longest sentence Zheng'er had ever said in his life. He burst into tears and realized what he had said. He had told him to leave. He had found him.
Could it be that what that expert said was true? So the person who can save Zheng'er is in this city!
It was the first time Zheng'er had left alone, so he couldn't help but be a little worried.
Wu Ji could see the Emperor's worry and said, "Your Majesty, since the Second Prince says so, he must have really found it. Besides, although the Second Prince is not good with words, he is clever and perceptive, and his cultivation is not low. Your Majesty can put your mind at ease."
Hearing Wu Ji say this, the Western Jin emperor was relieved.
Bang! Another loud noise.
At the city gate, flames soared into the sky, and screams filled the air. The soldiers who had been drugged were completely powerless, like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of their captors.
Gong Mingyue and Ji Jiuying watched the whole thing from the shadows.
A group of people rushed into the city lord's mansion, but it was already deserted. The soldiers of Wangfeng City had all died in the prison, and the city lord of Wangfeng City was no exception. His death was gruesome, his flesh and blood mangled.
Feng Yu looked at the corpses scattered all over the prison and the swarms of flies outside, and felt a pang of pain in his heart. He had frequent contact with the city lord of Wangfeng City. Just a month ago, he had become a father, and at that time, he had mocked the city lord for being slower than him, even saying that his daughter should recognize him as her godfather. Now, however, he lay here, dying with his eyes wide open, staring straight at the female corpse not far away. Feng Yu recognized her; she was Jin Sheng's beloved wife. The woman's clothes were disheveled, and there were bloodstains crawling all over the ground. One could imagine what she had gone through before she died!
Feng Yu closed Jin Sheng's eyes with his hand, then looked around again, but did not see the baby.
Han Shaoyi and Han Shaoting walked up and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Feng, please accept our condolences!"
"Lu Li, send some soldiers to bury these brothers! Also, investigate their families and provide them with compensation and pensions," Han Shaoyi waved his hand and gave the order.
"Remember to bury Lord Jincheng and his lover together," Feng Yu added.
While clearing the battlefield and the city lord's mansion, a soldier found two unconscious maids and a newborn baby in a dried-up well.
Upon hearing the news, Feng Yu rushed back. When he saw the jade pendant on the baby, he knew that this was Jin Sheng's daughter.
Thanks to Ji Jiuying, the two maids and the baby only fainted from hunger. If they had been discovered a day later, they would not have seen the sun rise the next day. In the end, Feng Yu adopted the baby as his goddaughter and raised her.
According to the maids, there are four maids who take care of the young lady. Two of them are hiding at the bottom of the well, while the other two pretend to surrender and continue to serve the Western Jin soldiers in the city lord's mansion. Every night, they would put food down at the bottom of the well. However, the two maids disappeared two days ago, and the maids guessed that they must have met with misfortune. They can only wait in vain for the people of Jialan to come and rescue them.
That evening, Yingyue captured the escaped Western Jin emperor and brought him back to Wangfeng City.
Murong Yun, far away in the Western Jin Dynasty, finished reading the letter in his hand and smashed the table in front of him with a slap.
