C118 Her Royal Father Was the Best Royal Father in the World!
San Qi shook his head. “How could we kill General Li? General Li was killed by the people of the Luo Nation. General Li made a mistake and caused the death of a hundred people. He was also tortured by the enemy. I will avenge General Li. All the soldiers of the West Province will also help him. Everyone will praise General Li for his sacrifice. The Li family will also gain a good reputation.”
San Qi was smiling when he said that, but his smile was extremely vicious, like a demon that wanted to eat people. He was completely different from the usual him.
“You shouldn’t have provoked someone you shouldn’t have provoked!”
San Qi laughed. He stabbed his sword into Li Du Yuan’s heart. He said, “I forgot to tell General Li that I can kill people better than leading a troop!” With a little more force, Li Du Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood.
He opened his eyes wide and wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words.
San Qi wiped the blood off his clothes. He looked behind him and relaxed his shoulders. He returned to his usual harmless smile.
He got on his horse and continued to eat the beef jerky in his arms and drink the wine. He walked back to the camp.
The sky was slightly bright, and the camp was also in a mess. When Lieutenant Song heard San Qi’s return, he immediately came over.
He saw a young man walking over with a horse in the dawn. His clothes were still stained with blood, and he seemed to be tired.
He could not tell whether he was happy or sad. So he asked, “Where is he?”
“Dead!”
“Dead?”
“Yes.” A certain voice answered.
Su Changsheng took a step forward. “Why are they all dead?”
San Qi laughed. “It’s because some people are stupid. They fell into the trap of the enemy. When I arrived, they were all dead. I had to kill the remaining dozens of enemy soldiers to avenge him.” It sounded simple, but it seemed to be true.
San Qi saw Su Changsheng was speechless, so he quickly changed the topic. “How is it on your side?”
“These grandsons are smart. They sent people to lure them. If we went, we would have fallen into their trap. Before long, most of the enemy soldiers arrived. We were alerted and didn’t suffer a loss.”
San Qi laughed. “That’s good!”
Lan Qingqian saw San Qi came back and heard them say that Li Du was dead.
Lan Qingqian clapped. “That’s right. He’s a pig head and a pig brain, but he still dares to do bad things.”
Gu Jun’an patted her head with a doting look in his eyes.
He looked up at the crowd and said, “General Li has sacrificed himself for the country. He deserves it. He deserves to die for the country and the people. He has not disgraced General Li. However, Yun Luo dared to kill General Li of the West Province. The soldiers of the West Province must fight against him for justice.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. “We will listen to the king’s orders.”
He looked at the generals and said, “But the military matters are complicated. Only by working together can we be united. General Li is gone, so someone has to take care of the military matters. Previously, Deputy General Su helped General Li, so he will take over the position of General Li.”
Gu Jun’an calmly took care of Li Duyuan and changed the general who was guarding the border to the person he wanted.
Su Changsheng was still stunned when he left the tent. He looked at the generals around him and said, “Am I dreaming? This is too sudden.”
He then replied to the three-seven Daoist, “Am I dreaming? This is too sudden.”
San Qi, “This is what you deserve. You have done a lot of military work these years, but you were taken away by shameless people. Now, you just get what you deserve.” He hit Su Changsheng. “Congratulations, General Su. You will have a bright future!”
Su Changsheng smiled and felt embarrassed. “I…” He seemed to have thought of something. “I have to burn some incense for my master. Tell him about this.” Then, he happily left.
He became a general and fulfilled his master’s wish. Although he might not be a good general and he would have to change people after the battle, it didn’t matter. It was fine as long as he was a deputy general. It was the same as killing enemies and protecting the country.
The two kingdoms worked together and the Kingdom of Yunluo was defeated. No matter how strong the Kingdom of Yunluo was, it couldn’t last for more than two months and was forced to retreat.
When the news of the Kingdom of Yunluo was sent back, the two kingdoms had already calculated how much they would get and how many cities they would get.
Gu Jun’an held Lan Qingqian and walked into the palace of the Kingdom of Yunluo. The luxurious palace was now in a mess. The things on the ground were lying on the ground and there were corpses lying on the ground.
Gu Jun’an was afraid that she would dirty her shoes, so he held her in his arms.
After so much blood and war, Lan Qingqian was scared no matter how brave she was. After all, she was only six years old.
She asked Gu Jun’an in a low voice, “Are we going to catch the Emperor of the Kingdom of Yunluo?”
“Yes, but I think the Emperor has already run away.”
Gu Jun’an had expected it. When they went in, most of the people were hiding in the palace with the imperial concubines. They were all trembling. There were people surrounding the palace.
Gu Jun’an glanced around. They were all women and children.
There were only four or five strong men. When they walked around, they picked a strong man who hid behind a pile of women and asked, “Your Emperor ran away?”
“Yes, yes… When we broke the city, he ran away. He didn’t bring anything!”
The man was holding the sword on his neck. He was trembling like a sieve. His voice was trembling.
“Ha!” Gu Jun’an sneered and said coldly.
“He is much more daring than me. When he took the city of the Eastern late Kingdom, why didn’t he think of this day?”
The woman who was hiding in the crowd couldn’t help but cry out.
The soldiers next to them scolded fiercely, “Don’t cry!”
Lan Qingqian saw them shaking and immediately said, “Don’t scare them.”
She squeezed into the crowd and patted a girl’s head as if she was comforting her. “Don’t cry. Are you the princess of the Yunluo Kingdom? Why didn’t your father take you away?”
The girl was much older than Lan Qingqian. She hugged her legs and said in a small voice, “My father said that we are burdens and only know how to cry. He told us to live on our own.”
Lan Qingqian was confused. She didn’t understand what she heard. She tilted her head and asked, “What does ‘living on our own’ mean?”
“It means that we will live and die on our own.”
Lan Qingqing frowned. In her eyes, how could her father leave her child behind?
Her father wouldn’t do that. Her father was the best father in the world.
There were women in the crowd who looked like concubines. They said in fear, “Your Royal Highness, we are all women in the palace. We don’t know what His Majesty has done. But we are innocent. Please pity us and give us a way out. I heard that you have let the people in the city of the Yunluo Kingdom go. Please give us a way out. Some of us were even forcefully captured and brought into the palace.”
Seeing that someone had spoken, the others also started to plead for mercy, “Right, let us go. We’re useless, our lives are like duckweed.”
