âThird Prince has promised that after ascending the throne, he will cede Liang city, Lin city, and Feng city to the Nandu Nation!â Liu Mansheng looked at the crowd with cold eyes. âTo protect your lives, Third Prince has worked very hard. So you must repay him in the future!â
â...â
These words stunned everyone. âWhat did you say?â
âHeâs going to cede the three cities to them?â
âWhy is he doing this?â A general broke into anger. âTian Zhao is no weaker than the Nandu Nation. Why do we have to cede our cities to them?â
âEven if we only have an army of 700,000 soldiers, it doesnât mean that we are unable to defeat them!â
âThis is outrageous!â
Chu Pengfei was even colder and angrier. âLiu Mansheng! Youâre teaming up with the enemies to betray your country! Have you already come to an agreement with the Nandu Nation a long time ago? Did you collude with the enemies to harm His Royal Highness!!!â
Boom!
.
Chu Pengfeiâs words struck everyone like thunder. They were instantly awakened!
âYeah... All this happened way too quickly! We donât even know what to do. In fact, we have yet to understand what exactly is going on, and His Royal Highness is already dead! Somethingâs wrong!â
âLiu Mansheng definitely knew that the Third Prince is going to cede the cities, and that is why, heâs saying this now... Gosh! They really colluded with the enemies to betray our country! They are selling the cities in exchange for glory!â
All the generals and the soldiers exclaimed one after another. At the same time, they glared at Liu Mansheng.
The generals who had guarded Liang city for many years were the ones who found it even harder to accept such an outcome.
Even the Liu Army soldiers looked at Liu Mansheng with blame and disapproval...
The hearts of the 200,000 reinforcement soldiers who were previously convinced by Liu Mansheng to go against Crown Prince and Zhen Guogong became filled with hatred and remorse!
The anger that came from the deceit almost burned everyoneâs sanity.
âLiu Mansheng! You colluded with the enemies and betrayed our nation. You caused the death of the Prince. Arenât you afraid that His Majesty will prosecute you?â
âExactly! Liu Mansheng, no matter what, we will never go with you!â
âLiu Mansheng, you are a traitor! We are going to kill you!â
âWe are going to tie you up and send you to His Majesty for interrogation!â
âHaha...â Liu Mansheng did not seem fearful at all. He looked at everyone with contempt. âOther than Zhen Guogong and the Chu Army, which one of you here did not go against Crown Prince with me?â
â!â Everyoneâs expression drastically changed. Remorse and hatred took over their faces as they looked at each other in confusion and shock.
âTie me up in front of His Majesty? Sure! When that happens, I will say that you are all accomplices! His Majesty has to deal with the pain of losing his son. He might denounce all of us, canât het?
âIf all of you want to die, just let me know!â
âD*mn it!â
âDespicable!â Everyone glared at Liu Mansheng, but none of them mentioned reporting about Liu Mansheng again.
Chu Pengfei scoffed. âLiu Mansheng, just you wait! Iâll head right back to the capital now and tell His Majesty about all of you!â
Chu Pengfei strode away.
Liu Mansheng stared at him and sneered. In a cold voice, he said, âIf everyone wishes to die, then let him go.â
â...â
â!â
Soon!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several generals stepped forward and held Chu Pengfei back. âSecond Young Master, this is a very important matter. Please take careful consideration!â
âYou!â Chu Pengfei shook in anger. âHow could all of you stand on that traitorâs side? This is outrageous!â
Everyone remained silent. Other than the anxious Chu Army soldiers, no one else pleaded with him!
Chu Pengfei looked at everyone in shock and disappointment. He even had difficulty breathing.
Liu Mansheng proudly stepped forward and stared at Chu Pengfeiâs young face, which was full of resentment and disappointment. Then, he contemptuously smiled.
He looked at the crowd. âWhat should we do now? We are all in the same boat. Only the Chu Army isnât... What do you guys think? What if one day they think about it and decide to report us? What should we do?â
The other generals frowned and looked at one another.
âDad! I have a good idea!â Liu Lei stepped forward with excitement. He triumphantly looked at Chu Pengfei and the Chu family, whose faces were all pale. âOnly the dead will not speak. I suggest... beheading the entire Chu Army!â
âIf you dare!â
âBold of you! Thatâs really bold of you!â
One by one, the expressions of the other generals changed.
Clang! Clang!
Li Wen and Li Wu drew out their swords and gave everyone threatening looks. âWho dares to question Young Master Liuâs decision?â
Li Wen and Li Wu represented the army of 400,000!
The generals felt their hearts chill, and they glared at Liu Mansheng. They knew that regardless of their thoughts, there was no way they could change anything that Liu Mansheng wished to do today!
Liu Mansheng chuckled. âCalm down, everyone. We are all in the same boat. Letâs talk it out... But I also think that we will all be safe only if the Chu Army âdies on the battlefieldâ!â
