Cloud State City.
The sky was a little dark.
The dark clouds in the sky gathered together like a black feather in the shape of scales, covering the sky.
It blocked out all the light in the area.
It also covered the joy of the entire Cloud State City.
The entire city fell into a dead silence.
It was a dead silence without any sound.
There was only depression and gloominess.
There was also the sound of the wind.
It was because of the explosion at the city gate.
Those people killed themselves to open a bloody path in the Southern Battlefront Army and then assassinated Gojoseon Zhennan.
In the end, two senior generals of the Southern Battlefront Army were killed by the explosion.
Zhennan Wang also had one of his arms chopped off.
He passed out.
No one knew whether he was alive or dead.
This incident made Cloud State City, which had just calmed down from the war, fall into the horrible shadow of killing again.
Almost all of them were terrified.
They didn't know what would happen to them next.
At this moment.
In the government office of Cloud State City.
Gojoseon Zhennan was lying on a luxurious bed. Several generals of the Southern Battlefront Army, the military doctor, and some doctors were waiting on him.
The smell of blood in the room was very strong.
Gojoseon Zhennan's right arm was cut off. He lost too much blood and fell into a coma.
Even his breath was weak.
Those doctors were quickly stopping Gojoseon Zhennan's bleeding and treating his wound.
The generals of the Southern Battlefront Army were waiting anxiously. Their faces were full of seriousness and nervousness.
Gojoseon Zhennan was the backbone of the Southern Battlefront Army.
He was also the contact point of all the forces.
If something happened to Gojoseon Zhennan, the next thing would be more troublesome.
"He's fine now."
Everyone waited like this for about an hour. Then, the military doctor took a deep breath and stood up.
Then, he turned to the nervous generals and said.
"Although the prince's injury is serious and he lost a lot of blood, his life is not in danger. However, it's impossible to save his arm."
"Given His Highness's physical condition, he should be able to wake up in two days."
"Thank you, Doctor Liu!"
The generals in the army cupped their hands in salute to the old military doctor with grateful expressions on their faces.
They truly respected this military doctor.
This was because they were all from the military.
Swords and spears had no eyes.
Injuries were inevitable.
Usually, this military doctor was in charge of treating everyone.
Now, Gojoseon Zhennan's life was in the hands of the military doctor.
He had no choice but to thank them.
"You're welcome!"
The wrinkles on the military doctor's face wriggled a little. He cupped his hands towards the crowd and then led the group of disciples out of the house.
He still had to prepare some herbs to help Gojoseon Zhennan recover.
It was then boiled into a decoction.
As for the generals, the majority of them did not move.
They continued to stay by Gojoseon Zhennan's side to protect Gojoseon Zhennan's safety.
Outside the house, there were hundreds and thousands of soldiers. They were all armed with bows and swords, guarding the entire house.
Everyone was on high alert.
They wanted to prevent anyone from launching another sneak attack.
After all, after the sneak attack at the East Military Hall, all of Gojoseon Zhennan's troops were on high alert.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
Just as the old military doctor had said, Gojoseon Zhennan opened his eyes after a sharp pain.
He opened his blurry eyes and looked around hesitantly.
"Are you awake, Your Highness?"
One of the generals, who was guarding Gojoseon Zhennan, quickly stood up and ran to the bed.
His face was full of joy.
There was also a strong sense of excitement.
"Water …"
Gojoseon Zhennan had not recovered from his serious injuries and his body was still very weak. Therefore, he did not say much and only asked for water.
"Here you are, Your Highness!"
Although the middle-aged general was a rough man, he reacted quickly to Gojoseon Zhennan's request.
He quickly brought Gojoseon Zhennan some water.
Gojoseon Zhennan took a sip.
He wanted to sit up.
After all, he was a martial artist and his physical fitness was still there. Therefore, such a serious injury did not affect him too much.
It was not enough to turn him into a powerless cripple.
However, he struggled for a while, but his body did not sit up.
At the same time, Gojoseon Zhennan realized that something was wrong with his body.
He turned to look at his right arm.
Only then did he realize that his entire arm was gone!
"What's going on?"
Gojoseon Zhennan's eyes suddenly widened. Blood vessels uncontrollably spread out from his eyes.
His face became paler and paler.
It was as if he was losing his color.
His right arm was gone?
What was going on?
"Your Highness, please calm down!"
The general had expected Gojoseon Zhennan to be in such a state. He gently grabbed Gojoseon Zhennan's shoulder and said softly.
"Although there was an accident with your arm, but …"
"But what?"
Gojoseon Zhennan narrowed his eyes. There was an unconcealable sadness in his eyes.
That kind of sadness made people sympathize with him.
He was a dignified general of the army.
He was a man who could go against the current imperial court and divide the world into three parts.
Now, he had lost an arm?
What kind of feeling was this?
Who could understand this kind of sadness?
Gojoseon Zhennan stared at the general. The sadness on his face became more and more obvious.
His eyes were a little dim.
"Have you caught all the assassins?"
After pondering for a while, Gojoseon Zhennan seemed to come back to his senses. He took a deep breath and asked the general.
"We caught some, but … most of them have escaped!"
The general sighed helplessly and said, "That's right.
"These people did not escape from Yunzhou City. They are still hiding in the city. However, they have been hidden by the citizens. So, we have not found them yet."
The general paused for a moment and continued.
"But, Your Highness, please rest assured that we will find them sooner or later."
"Phew …"
Gojoseon Zhennan took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
He did not know what to say.
At this moment.
She felt that she had no strength left in her body, only grief.
"Alright, let's catch them first!"
Gojoseon Zhennan took a deep breath. A sinister look appeared on his face. Then, he muttered to himself.
"Once we catch them, don't kill them. I want them to suffer a fate worse than death!"
"And those who protected them, I want to kill their entire families!"
"This is the only way to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
When the general heard Gojoseon Zhennan's murderous words, he nodded slightly.
Then, a ferocious killing intent appeared on his face.
He truly admired Gojoseon Zhennan and was loyal to him.
The latter had been crippled?!
He could not accept this fact.
He had to bring the murderers and their accomplices to justice!
He swore in his heart.
"Oh no!"
"Oh no, something has happened!"
However, just as Gojoseon Zhennan was about to rest for a while, a voice filled with shock and fear came from outside the door. Then, the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard.
"Who is making such a fuss? Be quiet and don't disturb His Highness! "
The general who was in charge of serving Gojoseon Zhennan took a deep breath and said loudly.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
A respectful voice came from outside the door.
After that, the person who had given the order carefully pushed open the door and walked in.
He was the messenger general of the Southern Battlefront Army.
As soon as he entered, he rushed in front of the general. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Gojoseon Zhennan open his eyes.
"Your … Your Highness … You're awake?"
The general who sent the message was stunned at first, and then his face suddenly stiffened.
There was even fear on his face.
"What do you have to report?"
Gojoseon Zhennan was keenly aware of the change in the general's expression. His eyes flickered as he asked.
"This … It's nothing, just some matters in the army."
The messenger general shook his head and said, "Your Highness is still injured.
"Your Highness, you haven't recovered from your injuries, so you shouldn't worry about these things. I'll talk to General Zhang about it!"
"Chen Li!"
The Zhennan King shook his head and bitterly smiled as he looked at the general who sent the message.
"Don't try to hide it from me."
"With your experience, you wouldn't have come to Zhang Yu in such a hurry if it wasn't something serious. Something big must have happened. Don't hide it from me. I have no problem with it. Tell me, we can discuss it and come up with a solution!"
"This … Your Highness …"
The messenger general called Chen Li swallowed his saliva and did not know what to do.
"What are you waiting for? His Highness asked you to speak. Why aren't you saying anything? "
"Are you not going to listen to His Highness?"
General Zhang also frowned, and there was a hint of impatience in his voice.
When did Chen Li become so wishy-washy?
"Okay."
Chen Li saw that both of them wanted him to speak, so he had no choice.
He took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and said in a low voice,
"Your Highness, there are two things!"
"First, there's an urgent message from Chang 'an. They sent you an item!"
"Second, there's a letter from Diannan!"
"Both of them are not good news. You must be mentally prepared!"
"Tell me."
When Gojoseon Zhennan heard Chen Li's words, the look on his face became more serious. He gritted his teeth and said,
"I can hold on!"
In fact, he seemed to have guessed something.
His eyes began to turn bloodshot.
"The letter from Chang 'an is the head of the Crown Prince."
"The news from Diannan is that the Mansion of the Lord of Zhennan was attacked by men in black. Overnight, the entire Mansion of the Lord of Zhennan was wiped out!"
Chen Li said in a sorrowful voice.
Whoosh!
The moment he finished speaking, Gojoseon Zhennan, who thought he could keep calm, suddenly sat up in bed.
He glared with bloodshot eyes that could not be concealed.
He even looked a little crazy.
Gojoseon Zhennan had just lost a son and a daughter, as well as a beloved concubine.
Then, his right arm was blown up.
He did not know how to react.
Then, he heard the news again.
The Crown Prince was dead, and so were all the people in the Zhennan Mansion?
How could this be?
Gojoseon Zhennan could not accept it.
Everyone was dead.
His family, all of his loved ones, were all dead.
What was going on?
"Your Highness … You …"
When General Zhang and Chen Li saw Gojoseon Zhennan in such a state, they looked grave and worried. They moved closer to Gojoseon Zhennan. Their eyes were a little red.
"Who is the murderer?"
"Is he also from the East Faction Guards?"
After a short moment of dead silence, the South Protecting King turned his head and glared at the two generals, asking in a dark voice.
His voice was full of indescribable ferocity.
And murderous intent.
"Yes!"
Chen Li swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and said.
"The one who sent us the head of the heir was a servant from the East Faction Guards. The one who sent us the news about the Lord of Zhennan's Mansion was also a servant from the East Faction Guards.
"Everything was done by the East Faction Guards. That person said … this is just the beginning!"
"One day, the East Faction Guards will come and take the Prince's head!"
Smack!
Before Chen Li could finish his sentence, Gojoseon Zhennan was already furious.
He ignored all his injuries and raised his left arm and smashed it on the ground.
Bang!
Gojoseon Zhennan smashed the bed next to him. Wood chips scattered all over the floor.
Gojoseon Zhennan's face was full of murderous intent.
"It was all done by the East Faction Guards!"
"A bunch of eunuchs!"
Gojoseon Zhennan gritted his teeth. His voice was a little hoarse.
"How dare they treat me like this!"
"Damn it!"
After pausing for a moment, the South Protecting King abruptly turned around and looked at Chen Li and the general surnamed Zhang before asking with gritted teeth.
He gritted his teeth and said, "When can you find those people?"
"Your Highness, this … They are hiding among the citizens of Yunzhou City and are being protected. So …"
General Zhang lowered his head. His eyes flickered, and he sounded hesitant.
He seemed to be in a difficult position.
"Does that mean someone is helping them? The citizens of Yunzhou? "
Gojoseon Zhennan grabbed the railing of the bed with his left hand and pulled hard.
Crack!
Suddenly, with a soft sound, the railing was pulled down by Zhennan Wang.
Then, he turned his head abruptly, like a wild beast that had gone mad, and said while gnashing his teeth.
"Massacre the city!"
"Start from the east of the city and kill them all the way to the west.
"Kill everyone you see along the way without mercy!"
"Until the East Faction Guards who are hiding among the citizens and refuse to show themselves!"
"If they don't show themselves, I want a river of blood to flow in Yunzhou and not even their bones to be found!"
"Also, spread the word that it was the East Faction Guards who angered the Southern Army. The East Faction Guards will be responsible for all the killings!"
"This …"
Chen Li frowned. He wanted to say something to persuade Gojoseon Zhennan.
But before he could finish, he was stopped by General Zhang's evil glare.
General Zhang kowtowed and said, "You are the one who is targeted.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
