Chapter 421: Expected Result
spoke, her voice choked with emotion. "But no one came to help me... I hid in the corner of the classroom countless times, begging my classmates for help... It was like fulfilling a dream of mine, so...Some truths, some people may not be able to figure out even in a lifetime. However, when they encounter a specific event, perhaps they suddenly understand.
When the Emperor of the Barbaric State heard Wing Sheng say this, he finally understood. It was a pity, however, that he had come to realize it too late. He gave a wry, desolate smile, “Is that the reason Because I couldn’t bear the weight of the kingdom, so my father chose to pass on the throne to your father Unfortunately, back then, I didn’t understand, so I resented it and used all my might to wrest the throne from his grasp. Never did I expect that in the end, I would have destroyed the entire Barbaric State…”
Even the ministers present couldn't help but become emotional. However, the path had already been taken; no matter what lay at the end of the road, they couldn't turn back.
“Your Majesty, you are wrong to say that. How can you say that it has destroyed the entire Man Country Wing-sheng is also the legitimate royal family of the Man Country. It's not as if the Man Country's territory has fallen into the hands of outsiders when he inherits the throne, right” Zhao Cheng placed his hand on the long sword at his waist and loudly addressed the Emperor of the Man Country.
His tone was devoid of any respect, his eyes looked down upon him like a prisoner. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. All along, he was second to none, but even so, the feeling of being suppressed weighed heavily on him, especially since in his eyes, the person above him was nothing but an incompetent fool.
“Hmph!” The Barbarian Emperor sneered, trembling finger pointing at Zhao Cheng and roaring, “You can fool the common people, you can fool all the officials here Who doesn’t know your ambitions Yisheng is a member of the royal family, that's true, but… how long can you keep him around Perhaps you won’t even last a month before he has to abdicate willingly to you!”
Zo Cheng frowned, only giving a cold smile without refuting. "So what In the end, all of you are going to die anyway. All that matters is that the people of the world believe me. Well, let's not waste time. If you are willing to surrender the Jade Seal and give way to your nephew Yi Sheng, I can ensure that everyone here gets a full burial. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The emperor of Man Country laughed, his laughter growing unsteady as he stumbled backward two steps. He sighed and said, “If you want me to abdicate willingly, it’s not impossible. But them… if they can’t even make a ripple in your eyes, then how do you propose I let them off the hook You let them go, and I’ll willingly hand over the throne. A bunch of ministers who are nothing in your eyes, for a whole empire seal— don't you think that's a fair trade”
Though not particularly gifted, the emperor of this barbarian nation had held power for a long time and was by no means a complete fool. At least in this speech, he spoke with great confidence.
“You're quite the negotiator, but… they may not make a big splash, but they can still cause me trouble. Unlike you, I am not as merciful. Hand over the jade seal, or die with them. I will dig three feet into the ground to find it if I have to.” Zhao Cheng wasn't a man of many words and immediately rejected the Emperor of Man Country's demands, adopting an unyielding stance.
Both sides were in a stalemate, but this only made Qin Luoyan's face grow increasingly gloomy. If Zuocheng really killed the emperor of Man country on the spot, even if the three hidden families came, they probably wouldn't be able to change anything. In that case, their escape would become more difficult.
She pondered for a moment, then gave Yi Sheng a discreet wink.
Yisheng received her message and turned to Zhao Cheng nonchalantly, "General Zhao, actually I have a compromise. If he willingly hands over the Jade Seal, that's naturally good news. Otherwise, this throne will come by an unfavorable path. Even if I abdicate in your favor later on, without the Imperial Jade Seal, your status won't ultimately be acknowledged by history. These people are no longer of much use. If you're truly uneasy, you could simply confine them. Spare their lives, but don't release them either."
Upon hearing this, Zocheng's eyes lit up, and he gave Yisheng a approving glance. “You are indeed quick-witted, child, but you were born in the wrong place.”
Seeing Zhao Cheng's attitude soften, Yi Sheng continued to say to the Emperor of the Barbarian Nation, "You want them to just walk out like this That's impossible. Being able to save their lives is already the greatest good fortune. All you can do is this much."
Perhaps the persuasions from both sides of Yìshēng had taken effect, for the Emperor of Man Country finally sighed and nodded.
Zocheng also felt that Yisheng's words were something he could barely accept, so he agreed. He winked at his subordinates, and someone immediately stepped forward to take those ministers away.
"Now hand over the jade seal." Zhao Cheng said to the emperor of the barbarian nation.
The emperor of Man Country didn't hesitate either, until he was backed into a corner. Then, he turned and entered the inner room, retrieved a box, and came back out. He hurled the jade seal toward Zhao Cheng and, without a second thought, drew his guard's sword and slashed at his own neck.
Blood splattered across the ground. By the time he fell, the people around him had forgotten even to scream.
Such a result came suddenly, yet it was also expected. Rather than becoming a prisoner, self-understanding is left as the last shred of dignity for the royal family.
However, his fall presented Qin Luoyan and the others with a difficult problem. If this barbarian king died, would the power that the Ling family wanted to protect still exist
"Your Majesty!" A shriek brought everyone back to their senses from the shock. A concubine, clutching a swaddled infant, rushed over and collapsed beside the barbarian king crying.
Zocheng's pupils shrank for a moment, the sneer at the corner of his mouth gradually rising, "Yo, isn't this our little prince..."
His voice held a sinister undertone, startling the grieving concubine awake. She clutched her child in fear and recoiled, "No, no, he isn't, he's not..."
It's a pity, her disguise was too pale. The more she tried to hide it, the more it proved that it was an infant.
"Come here, take the Lady and the little prince down and guard them well!" With an order from Zhao Cheng, someone immediately stepped forward to carry out his command.
For Zuo Cheng, who had gone through so much hardship to reach this point, victor and vanquished, there always needs to be someone to prove his victory. The bloodline of the emperor of the barbarian nation is the best proof of his victory! He will use the name of law to execute the bloodline of the emperor of the barbarian nation, proving to the world who is the ultimate victor.
In the Yonghe Palace, the Emperor of Man Kingdom died. His ministers were imprisoned, the young prince was kept captive, and those left had no reason to live.
Although Qin Luoyan knew the outcome, when she saw Zhao Cheng's men rush in and slaughter those people, her face still couldn't help but pale. Blood, severed limbs, and carnage were magnified infinitely at this moment, leaving only a world of blood and wind in her entire being.
"Sister, don't look..." Yisheng wanted to cover her eyes, but Qin Luoyan's eyes were red and she stubbornly raised her hand, pushing Yisheng away.
She said, "There's nothing I can't see. It all happened right before my eyes. If I don't look, does it not exist"
