Chapter 239 Fire
Faced with the furious Zhu Qizhen, all the palace maids and eunuchs lowered their heads and dared not speak.
When the eunuch Wang Ying saw Zhu Qizhen so angry, he hurried forward.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down first."
"This is a good thing, think about it."
"In this case, Yu Yanyi has committed a capital crime!"
After Wang Ying said this, Zhu Qizhen, who was still angry just now, was slightly stunned, and most of the anger in his heart dissipated instantly.
"Yes, colluding with other countries has caused the loss of half of the troops on the front line. This is treason!"
Zhu Qizhen reacted and muttered to himself, the anger on his face instantly turned into a smile.
"Come here, draft an order immediately!"
"Yu Yanyi sold out his country for personal gain, causing the loss of most of the troops on the front lines, so he was sentenced to death!"
"As for his family, send them all to me and have them build the Changling Mausoleum."
After saying that, Zhu Qizhen felt a wave of fatigue coming over him, so he stood up and left the hall.
After a while, a woman's low moan was heard from a bedroom.
As the imperial edicts of the two emperors reached the border of Xia State at the same time, Le Bo and Chang Yuchun had exactly opposite reactions.
Upon learning that Tian Min not only did not blame him but also sent reinforcements, Le Bo smiled gratefully.
However, when Chang Yuchun opened the letter, he saw that the entire imperial edict, from beginning to end, did not mention anything about sending troops to help.
"What a tyrant! How can I attack the Xia Kingdom with only 20,000 men?"
As he spoke, Chang Yuchun angrily tore up the imperial edict.
At this moment, he finally understood the feeling he had when Yu Yanyi was rejected when he gave his advice.
In desperation, Chang Yuchun had to write another letter to his uncle, Marquis Wei of the Ming Dynasty.
With the help of this letter, Chang Yuchun finally received reinforcements of 30,000 troops.
As a result, at this time on the border of Xia State.
The number of allied forces of Qi and Ming has reached 110,000!
Seeing the enemy troops outside the city having more than doubled in number, King Jin frowned and turned to look at Jiang Chen.
"Since the Duke of Fuguo has annihilated 40,000 enemy troops before, does he have any good strategies now?"
After hearing King Jin's question, Jiang Chen just shook his head and replied helplessly.
"Your Majesty thinks too highly of me. The previous victory was just luck."
"Le Bo and Chang Yuchun are both rare famous generals. I have done my best to win once."
As he spoke, Jiang Chen bowed to King Jin.
Seeing that Jiang Chen had no other options at this time, King Jin had no choice but to return to his tent.
After returning to his tent, Jiang Chen no longer looked helpless.
"Gongsun, how is the matter going?"
"My lord, everything is ready!"
"Now we can act immediately with just your order."
Hearing Gongsun Liang's answer, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, give the order and start tonight."
"Yes, my lord."
As the sky grew darker, the camp of the two countries' allied forces was shrouded in darkness.
Several figures suddenly appeared in the allied camp and took advantage of the cover of night to reach the prison where Yu Yanyi was imprisoned.
At this time, in prison.
Yu Yanyi, dressed in tattered clothes, was lying there with his eyes closed, holding a straw in his mouth.
After several figures entered the prison, they came to the outside of Yu Yanyi's cell.
"Master Yu, Master Yu."
After calling him softly twice, Yu Yanyi finally opened his eyes.
Yu Yanyi opened his eyes and looked at the figures outside the cell and asked with some confusion.
"Who are you?"
"Master Yu, we are from the Duke of Fuguo's army. We came here tonight to rescue you."
Hearing Yu Yanyi's question, a leader among the figures replied.
"Duke of the State?!"
"Are you from Xia Country?!"
Hearing the title spoken by the figure, Yu Yanyi was slightly stunned, and then he remembered it.
Isn't the title of "Duke of Fuguo" Jiang Chen's title? !
"Exactly."
Seeing Yu Yanyi reveal the identities of himself and others, the figure nodded.
"Humph, I don't need you to save me. Please go back and tell your lord."
"I, Yu Yanyi, am a Ming citizen when I am alive and a Ming ghost when I die!"
After saying this, Yu Yanyi turned his back and no longer paid any attention to the figures.
Seeing Yu Yanyi turned around, several figures looked at each other and smiled slightly.
Then, Yu Yanyi listened to the figure and asked again.
"Master Yu, don't you want to know the current situation of your family?"
Hearing this, Yu Yanyi's body trembled slightly and he sat up from the ground.
"You despicable creature, what have you done!?"
"You are a despicable villain who only knows how to play dirty tricks!"
Facing Yan Yi's angry rebuke, several figures frowned.
"Master Yu, I think you have overlooked a problem."
"The one who actually did something to your family was the emperor of your Ming country."
"We just rescued your family."
After the figure finished speaking, he took out two letters from his arms.
"If you don't believe us, Lord Yu, here are letters from your mother and Madam ."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yanyi jumped up from the ground and snatched the letter.
By the dim candlelight, Yu Yanyi opened the letter.
After reading the entire letter, Yu Yanyi shed two lines of burning tears from his eyes.
"If the king wants his subjects to die, they can die, but the disaster must not extend to their families!"
Yu Yanyi cried and knelt on the ground in pain.
Is this the ruler of the country he has always wanted to serve loyally?!
It seems that his original inference was correct!
The Ming Dynasty will sooner or later perish at the hands of Zhu Qizhen...
After crying for a long time, Yu Yanyi changed his previous belief.
It can be said that Zhu Qizhen’s order became the last straw that broke the camel’s back in the heart of this pillar of the Ming Dynasty!
"Where are my family now?"
Yu Yanyi, with disheveled hair, stood up unsteadily and asked several figures.
"Please rest assured, Master Yu, the old lady and the mistress have been protected by people sent by the Duke."
A figure slowly walked to the side of the cell and spoke to Yu Yanyi respectfully.
Looking at this familiar figure, Yu Yanyi finally felt relieved.
"Since you're here, Uncle Qing, there's nothing I can't be worried about."
"Take me out, I'm already looking forward to meeting this Duke who destroyed an army of 40,000 with a single move."
Just like that, several figures rescued Yu Yanyi.
They dragged out a body and threw it into the prison.
Afterwards, he deliberately knocked over the candles used for lighting in the cell.
After the few people left, the cell was instantly engulfed in fire, waking up the sleepy guard nearby.
"Someone, someone, come and put out the fire!"
