C400 His Soul Was No Longer Alone

"General, although I am not a kind person, there is one thing I can assure you. We are definitely not spies sent by the Barbarian Tribe. We hate the Barbarian Tribe as much as we hate it. We want to get rid of them as soon as possible!"

Sensing that he seemed to have misunderstood something, Song Fei immediately explained to him, "As for the tens of thousands of soldiers who are travelling with us, General, you don't have to blame yourself. We didn't kill them. We just knocked them out. The medicine is limited. I believe that they have woken up by now. General, you don't have to worry. After all, we have been together for so many years. How can we not care about our old relationship? "

Upon hearing this, Lo Gucheng's expression relaxed slightly as he repeated the words repeatedly. A sentence, "That's good, that's good. . . "

However, not too long later, his voice once again became deep and silent. His eyes were covered by a layer of grey. Yuan Hong asked in a pained manner when he saw this: "General, what else do you have on your mind?"

The Lo Gucheng was silent for a long time this time around. It was so long that even the moon in the sky was completely covered by the flowing clouds. Finally, it sighed softly and said, "After today, it is likely that the thirty thousand Lonely Soul Legion will not be able to return. . . "

Yuan Hong and Song Fei were startled when they heard this. Immediately, their tears fell like rain.

In fact, it was impossible for the Lo Gucheng to not detect anything. Since it had abducted them here, it had no choice but to abandon its own life. It was obvious that someone was trying to frame him. It was a pity that he knew that all of this was the enemy's scheme. However, he had no choice but to follow his plan. It was not that he was afraid of death. He had no choice but to protect the lives of the soldiers. This time, he had the chance to completely destroy them, but he only made them faint. It was a warning to him, but no matter what, The Lonely Soul Legion would no longer exist, and it would become history!

"General, forgive us for our mission, but we cannot stay here for long. You. . . Take care of yourself!"

After a while, the two of them bowed deeply to the Lo Gucheng. Then, they quickly left the place. Obviously, they had other missions. It was impossible for them to stay here and waste their time. They knew that. . . They might never see each other again. Even if they did, they wouldn't be able to see each other again. They would fight with swords and cut off all ties of gratitude. Although they were unwilling to do so, they were on different sides. There was nothing they could do!

Sensing that the two people behind him had already left, the Lo Gucheng raised its head stiffly. Although it knew that in such a short period of time, it was not too far away from the army. But so what? He couldn't return in the end. When he thought of this, he felt a little lost in his heart.

A person had to have a home after all, or else how was there any difference between a person living alone and a walking corpse?

Thinking of this, the Lo Gucheng laughed at himself. However, it turned around and walked in the opposite direction of the army in a desolate manner.

Five days later, Kiu Tian and the others finally arrived at the Imperial City after running around for several months. When he reported everything that happened along the way, Chu Feng was furious!

"Good! Good Lo Gucheng, this time I was really blind!" Chu Feng stood up from the dragon throne and coldly glanced at the people of Lonely Soul. He was furious and said, "Lonely Soul Legion, what else do you have to say?"

There was a limited space in the main hall, so it was naturally impossible for all of them to enter. Currently, only Meng Bufan and the other leaders of Lonely Soul were kneeling on the ground. However, they were still in despair because of the betrayal of the Lo Gucheng. Naturally, there was no way they could defend themselves. Seeing this, Chu Feng became even angrier. He sneered, "Do you think you can deal with it without saying anything? Let me see. How long can you guys be so stubborn? Someone, come! Drag out all the rebels who are suspected of rebellion and execute them!"

The moment this decree was spoken, it instantly shocked the entire court. After all, it was more than thirty thousand lives, and any one of them that was casually picked out was an outstanding military achievement. If they were all killed, it wouldn't be a big deal, not to mention killing the innocent. How many loyal and loyal people would be harmed? Immediately, some of the officials among the hundred wanted to step forward and stop them. However, when he saw Chu Feng's expression, he withdrew his face in embarrassment. For a moment, the hall was filled with whispers.

"What? Can't you hear what I'm saying?" Chu Feng instantly raised his eyebrows. His gaze immediately locked onto Ling Yun, who looked as if he had been struck by lightning, and he said in a tone that could not be refused, "Dear Minister Ling, hurry up and go!"

Only then did Ling Yun wake up. He immediately lowered his head and gritted his teeth to advise, "Your Majesty, the Lonely Soul Legion has always been loyal. For the past 20 years, they have made countless contributions to protect our Great Chu. Even though the Lonely Soul Legion is guilty of covering up for the Lo Gucheng's rebellion, it is not a crime worthy of death. I hope that you can take back the order and let it go lightly! "

"Heh, I have already issued the order to kill, but you still dare to plead for them. Dear Minister Ling, you are the first one in the entire court to dare to do so?" Chu Feng walked in front of him and looked down at him from above. He smiled and said, "Should I praise you for your courage, or do you want to die?"

"I can't guarantee my own safety, but you still dare to plead for them?" Chu Feng waved his sleeve and scolded, "Ling Yun, you care too much!"

Ling Yun immediately knelt on the ground in fear, not even daring to breathe loudly.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!" At this moment, one of the officials stood out and pleaded on behalf of the Lonely Soul, "This old official believes that what Chief Ling said is not without reason. Even if the Lonely Soul Legion was in the wrong first, the crime is not death. At most, the merits will be offset, and we will be demoted to a commoner. Please think twice before acting!"

The storm at the border had just calmed down when the news of Cui Ming's death and the betrayal of the Lo Gucheng was heard. Chu Feng was really angry right now. He wished he could kill all the people he didn't like. When he heard this, he was about to fly into a rage again. However, when he saw who it was, he could not help but suppress his anger. He smiled bitterly and said, "Old Prime Minister, why. . . Why do you also want to go against me?"

This person was the current Prime Minister, Lee Fu. He was the most experienced and the person with the highest status among the ministers. He had worked hard for the Great Chu for the past few decades, and had been honest throughout his life. He had shown great benevolence and righteousness, and his disciples were everywhere in the world. Both in the court and among the people, he had a very high reputation. Although he was already in his forties, It was not that he could not bear to leave this position. It was because he truly wanted to contribute everything to the Great Chu and be in charge of the outside world with old War Prince and Dou Tianlai. One of them was in charge of the internal security. The two of them were the true heroes of both civil and military in Chu Kingdom. They were also the people Chu Feng truly respected.

Chu Feng would never dare to act rashly in front of this man. Even the former Emperor Chu Yu and the Prince Regent Chu Xiong had to show him some respect.

"Replying to the Emperor, this old official does not want to go against you. I only pity these innocent soldiers and have fought for my Great Chu for my entire life. In the end, they ended up dying in vain. Only then did I have the courage to speak. "

As he spoke, Lee Fu knelt down and said with hot tears in his eyes: "I hope that on account of the soldiers who risked their lives in the past and bravely killed their enemies, the Emperor will let them off lightly!"

"Aiyah! Old Prime Minister, what is the meaning of this? Quickly get up!"

This kneeling had scared Chu Feng to death. One had to know that Lee Fu's identity as Prime Minister was temporarily excluded. It was still Chu Feng who had taught his benefactor. Don't look at the courtesy that the two of them were giving in the court right now. In private, no matter when Chu Feng met Lee Fu, He had to call Lee Fu 'teacher' respectfully, and his teacher would kneel before him. Chu Feng immediately rushed over in shock, wanting to help him up. At this moment, when the crowd of civil and military officials saw that there was a leader, they all knelt down. In unison, they advised, "Begging the Emperor to think twice!"

"You. . . You guys!!"

Seeing that everyone was disobeying him, Chu Feng immediately staggered a few steps back and helplessly sighed. "Never mind, never mind. I won't kill these people. All of you, get up!"

"The Emperor is wise and righteous and empathizes with the good. This is the fortune of our Great Chu!"

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lee Fu slowly stood up with a compliment. The officials also stood up with a sentence.

"I can spare these people today for the sake of all my beloved officials pleading for mercy, but I can avoid death, and I can't escape punishment!" Chu Feng could not suppress the anger in his heart and said, "As the commander, Lo Gucheng openly rebelled. As your subordinates, you cannot escape responsibility. Men, bring all my accomplices who rebelled against the bandits to the Imperial Prison and await your punishment! "

"This official obeys the decree!"

Seeing that the Lonely Soul had temporarily exempted the death penalty, Ling Yun naturally didn't dare to ask for anything more. He hurriedly brought Meng Bufan and the rest away.

Seeing that this matter was over, Chu Feng seemed to have all his strength drained. He sat on the dragon throne powerlessly and waved his hand. "I'm tired. My dear subjects, if there's anything to report, please withdraw from the court. "
