After the battle of Kongkong City …
Takeshi Ryūshin and Long Aotian looked at Gu Hai strangely.
With one arrow letter, the citizens of Kongkong City suddenly rebelled, clashing with the authorities and requesting to surrender to Gu Hai and the Han Dynasty. Even the surrounding reinforcements were useless.
Where was that unyielding attitude of facing death with equanimity?
Tens of thousands of our people died, but we failed to capture Kongkong City. Yet, you managed to capture it without expending a single soldier with one arrow letter?
What kind of expression did the citizens have when they looked at Gu Hai?
Thinking about this, Takeshi Ryūshin showed a depressed expression. Along the way, they captured several cities. All the citizens who captured cities looked at their army with eyes filled with hatred.
They were both capturing cities. Why were the citizens overjoyed after Gu Hai captured the cities?
Was this a matter of luck?
Not far away, two of the Dahan's flying ships were left behind in Kongkong City.
Venerable Liu Nian looked at Gu Hai in confusion. "Mr. Goode, I read your arrow letter as well. It was just a plan to help the citizens. Why did the citizens of Kongkong City want to join the Dahan so strongly? Furthermore, they clashed with the authorities and the army, forcing the Daewon's army to withdraw. "
Gu Hai did not say anything. However, Chang Ming, who was at the side, took a deep breath and said, "If my guess is right, it should be that the citizens of Kongkong City have lost all confidence in the Daewon."
"Oh?" Venerable Liu Nian asked out of curiosity.
"Venerable might not know this, but something major happened in Kongkong City about half a year ago. The entire city was nearly destroyed. His Holiness, the Great Slaughter, killed everywhere. The citizens cried for help, but no one answered. At that time, the Bat Ancestor and my uncles were inside. Not only did they not save the citizens, but they even trapped them. Perhaps the citizens' hearts turned cold. However, His Majesty risked his life to save the citizens at that time. Pouring water in the snow and sending charcoal in the snow are clear at a glance. The Emperor had already accepted the people of Empty City back then. This time, he was just pushing the boat along with the current! "Chang Ming explained.
"I see!" Venerable Liu Nian sighed.
"The hearts of the people cannot be deceived. If you treat them well, they will remember it. If you treat them badly, they will also remember it. Perhaps they do not have the ability to change anything, but the hearts of the people will remember it clearly. When the time comes, if the people have the ability to repay you, they will definitely do everything they can. The hearts of the people are kind, and evil cannot bully them! "Gu Hai said after taking a deep breath.
"Yes!" Solemnly, Chang Ming nodded.
"Chang Ming, if there are any vampires that haven't died along the way, if you have the ability, do your best to recruit them. The Bat Ancestor has fallen, so the vampires have no one to rely on!" Gu Hai looked at Chang Ming.
"Chang Ming will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty!" Solemnly, Chang Ming declared.
Gu Hai nodded.
The army continued to advance toward the capital city.
Ever since Gu Hai captured a city with a single arrow scroll, Long Aotian stopped encouraging Gu Hai to attack a city. This was because the result of attacking a city belonged to whoever captured it.
Empty City was a place of war, a city that all militarists fought for. However, Gu Hai captured such a crucial city. This would make things awkward for Long Aotian when he took over Daewon in the future.
"Kill!" "Boom!"
The battle continued. However, more and more Daewon soldiers arrived from all directions, continuously blocking Daewon's attacks.
Gu Hai's army followed behind and did not attack.
While the army was still going all out to capture the city, it suddenly seemed like internal strife broke out in the city.
"Bastard! General Zhang, what are you doing? Are you betraying the country and joining the enemy? "
"General Li, are you rebelling as well? Sneak attacking us from behind? Are you still Daewon's army? "
…
…
…
Amidst the chaos, Takeshi Ryūshin's army suddenly felt much more relaxed. This was because many of the enemy's soldiers seemed to have turned traitor.
A city whose military strength was not inferior to that of Empty City, under the pincer attack from both inside and outside, was completely conquered in just two days.
While Gu Hai was puzzled, Sima Changkong led a group of officials and soldiers to Takeshi Ryūshin.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" The Daewon officials and soldiers bowed respectfully.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone! I have already prepared a banquet to celebrate your success! "Takeshi Ryūshin smiled.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" The officials and soldiers said happily.
"Mr. Sima, thank you for your hard work this time!" Takeshi Ryūshin smiled.
"Your Highness is too polite. It's best if we continue to advance in a straight line tomorrow. There are only four more cities before we reach Dadu City!" Sima Changkong smiled.
"Alright!" Takeshi Ryūshin smiled.
Sima Changkong and Takeshi Ryūshin chatted for a while before arriving at Gu Hai's place.
"Greetings, Mr. Goode, Venerable Liu Nian!" Sima Changkong bowed slightly.
"Mr. Sima, you've done well. In such a short time, you've already turned half of the enemy's army?" Gu Hai praised.
"Mr. Goode must be joking. Half of the army is a third of Da Qian's chess pieces, another third are families that Da Qian has slowly turned over in the past thousand years, and the remaining third is all thanks to Mr. Goode. You've repeatedly defeated the Daewon, causing them to lose hope in the Daewon and join Da Qian. My role is insignificant!" Sima Changkong smiled.
"Mr. Sima is too humble!" Gu Hai shook his head.
Things were definitely not as simple as Sima Changkong made them out to be. However, Sima Changkong was actually able to turn half of the enemy's army against Da Qian when the two armies were at war. This showed how capable Sima Changkong was.
There were still four more cities.
Takeshi Ryūshin did not delay at all. He continuously broke through the cities and headed for Dadu City.
The Bat Ancestor had fallen, and the Bat Clan, the national beast, was completely defeated.
A few giant dragons opened the way, and traitors rebelled. In a short period of time, the Da Qian army won one victory after another.
However, in Dadu City, there were constant reports of defeat. Bad news came every day.
"Empty City, hmph!" Xiyu The Great snorted coldly.
In the hall, the officials stood respectfully, not daring to speak.
"Your Majesty, I will personally lead the army to meet the Da Qian invading army!" Qin Zibai stepped forward and said.
Xiyu The Great narrowed his eyes. "No need. If I'm not wrong, the Da Qian army should have already reached Lindu City. By the time you lead the army there, Lindu City will have already been broken through. Let them come to Dadu City!"
"But I can exhaust them …!" Qin Zibai said worriedly.
"Alright, let them come to Dadu. Hmph!" Xiyu The Great snorted coldly.
Qin Zibai was helpless. The officials were also extremely anxious.
After the court meeting, Qin Zibai rushed straight to the prison.
Although he could not save Mo Yike, with Qin Zibai's status, it was not difficult for him to see Mo Yike.
It was the same prison cell. Mo Yike was right. He would be back soon.
At this moment, Mo Yike was using a pen to write something on the wall.
The names of the cities were written one after another. The closest one was Lindu City!
"Lindu City? Mr. Mo, you know about it? "Qin Zibai said in surprise.
Mo Yike put down the pen and looked at Qin Zibai with a smile.
"Mr. Mo, you know about Lindu City? No, how did you guess that the Da Qian and Dahan army would arrive at Lindu City? "Qin Zibai said in surprise.
Mo Yike sighed slightly. "Do I even need to guess? According to my analysis of the number of spies in Lindu City, many Daewon families should have fallen. The number of spies should decrease from Lindu City to Da Qian. In other words, there are the most spies in Lindu City, then fewer in Lindu City, and then even fewer. In comparison, the Da Qian army would be more difficult in the beginning. The closer they are to Lindu City, the easier it is! "
"Ah?" Qin Zibai's expression changed.
"From the distribution of spies, it can be seen that the Daewon is really on the brink of crisis this time! I was going to pick out all the spies and use them to negotiate with the Da Qian. However, His Majesty didn't agree. His Majesty seems to have a knot in his heart that no one can untie! "Mo Yike said with a bitter smile.
"I wanted to go, but His Majesty didn't let me. He said to let the Da Qian army come to Lindu City!" Qin Zibai said worriedly.
Mo Yike's eyelids twitched. Then he smiled bitterly. "It seems that I don't have long to live!"
"Ah?" Qin Zibai looked at Mo Yike blankly.
"I guessed right. His Majesty has a knot in his heart with the Da Qian. His Majesty really wants to gather the Daewon army and attack the Da Qian Celestial Empire?" Mo Yike's face darkened.
"What do you mean?"
"If I guessed right, His Majesty is waiting for the Jinmu Of Silla's army to come. He wants to use the Jinmu Of Silla's head as a sacrifice and then personally lead the army to the Da Qian Celestial Empire. His Majesty … His Majesty doesn't care about anything anymore?" Mo Yike's expression suddenly changed.
"Using the Jinmu Of Silla's head as a sacrifice? The Da Qian Third Prince's head as a sacrifice? "Qin Zibai's expression changed.
"That's right. His Majesty locked me up because he didn't want me to stop him. He wanted to let me out after he stopped all my thoughts. At that time, I would have no choice but to face the Da Qian Celestial Empire. Hahaha, His Majesty is taking drastic measures, but, but …!" Mo Yike looked depressed.
"But what?"
"His Majesty is far-sighted. However, that Daqiansheng was able to become the ruler of the world. How could he not have schemed against him? The five great factions are being toyed with by Daqiansheng. Can His Majesty kill the Jinmu Of Silla? No, he definitely can't kill her. He definitely can't! "Mo Yike said anxiously.
"What will happen if he can't kill her?" Qin Zibai asked anxiously.
"When two kings fight, one side is not defeated. What will happen to the other?" Mo Yike looked at Qin Zibai.
"When two kings fight, one will definitely die!" Qin Zibai's expression changed.
"The Daewon Celestial Empire is going to come to an end?" Mo Yike showed a bitter expression.
"That can't be, right? How can that be? Also, Mr. Mo, you said that you don't have long to live. What do you mean? "Qin Zibai asked with a hint of fear.
"If His Majesty wins, I can be reinstated and even have more power. However, if His Majesty loses, what about me? Do you think that His Majesty will let me live? "Mo Yike smiled bitterly.
"His Majesty will kill you in advance? That's impossible. His Majesty will not kill you! "
"If I am useless, His Majesty will not care about me. However … His Majesty will not leave me to the Da Qiansheng Celestial Empire. So …" Mo Yike showed a bitter expression.
"You are Mo En's son. His Majesty will not kill you, right?"
"Since ancient times, the imperial family has been heartless. Ha! Will His Majesty let me go because of my father? You think too much. If His Majesty valued relationships, Mo En, Chang Sheng, and Qin Yun would not have died! "Mo Yike smiled bitterly.
"How can that be …?" Qin Zibai showed a confused expression.
"Sigh! Now that things have come to this, there is no turning back. I only hope that His Majesty can kill Takeshi Ryūshin as a sacrifice! "Mo Yike sighed dejectedly.
