Inside the palace, Jiang Daotian sat on a chair with his eyes closed.
The war at the border had temporarily stopped. The Tianxuan Dynasty had failed in their attacks for so many years, so it was about time to give up.
As for returning to the capital?
Jiang Daotian hadn't thought about it for the time being. In this border area, where the emperor was far away, it was considered quite comfortable.
Moreover, in these 20 years, he had not only nurtured Bu Qingyun.
Other than Old Marshal Dou Tiande and his ten generals, the three hundred thousand soldiers at the border were all secretly recruited by him.
As long as he gave the order, the 300,000 troops would obey his command.
ta ta
The sound of footsteps rang out, heavy and oppressive.
Jiang Daotian didn't open his eyes. He remembered the information of the person who had come. It was Dou Tiande's subordinate, Zhang Tianshan, a first-tier martial grandmaster!
"Greetings, Fourth Prince.”
Zhang Tianshan cupped his hands and bowed. He then sat down at the side, not caring about his identity at all.
In Zhang Tianshan's eyes, the Fourth Prince was just an ordinary person, a mascot sent by Emperor Xia.
To them, Jiang Daotian was nothing more than a piece of trash abandoned by the Xia Emperor.
Even if he died, the Xia Emperor would at most punish him by saying that he was killed by the enemy.
"What is it?" Jiang Daotian said coolly with his eyes closed.
Zhang Tianshan curled his lips. A good-for-nothing really knew how to put on airs."The Tianxuan army has moved again. Marshal, please kowtow ten times to the city wall to make the Tianxuan army retreat.”
"Hmm?"
Jiang Daotian's eyes turned cold and fierce."What did you say?"
He, the dignified Fourth Prince, was going to kowtow ten times to the enemy and beg them to retreat?
When Zhang Tianshan met his gaze, his heart skipped a beat. It was as if he had been stared at by a prehistoric beast.
No, this was just a good-for-nothing. How could he be afraid?
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianshan calmed down and said coldly,""This is His Majesty's will. Fourth Prince, I advise you to follow His Majesty's will!”
"Your Majesty?" The coldness in Jiang Daotian's eyes grew stronger."Has he gone senile? Or are you faking the decree?"
"Fourth Prince, be careful of what you say!”
?" As for the decree, it's in the old marshal's hands," Zhang Tianshan said coldly." If Your Highness wants to see it, you can go to the city wall now."”
"Alright, this prince wants to see if that old thing is really muddle-headed!”
Jiang Daotian snorted coldly and stood up."Lead the way!"
"Fourth Prince, I don't want to say it a second time. If I disrespect His Majesty again, I can only defend His Majesty's dignity!”Zhang Tianshan said coldly.
"Prestige?" Jiang Daotian snorted coldly. He flicked his sleeves and walked out of the palace.
He wanted to see what sort of decree the Xia Emperor had issued.
No matter how old and muddle-headed he was, he shouldn't have made such a brainless decree.
He wanted his prince to kowtow to the enemy and beg them to retreat?
What was he thinking!
If he really issued this decree, what bullsh * t dignity would he have? He would have lost all his face.
……
On the city wall, Dou Tiande, who was over 60 years old, had a head full of white hair, but his face was very rosy.
At this moment, he held the imperial edict with both hands, his expression indifferent.
Beside him were ten trusted generals.
Not far away, Bu Qingyun stood with his hand on the hilt of his saber, his expression cold and stern.
Five miles outside the city walls, the black-armored soldiers were all dark and boundless, and it was a somber scene.
"Dou Tiande, get Jiang Daotian to come out and kowtow ten times. Otherwise, we will charge up the city and destroy your Blood Yellow City!”
"Dou Tiande, get Jiang Daotian to come out and kowtow.”
The boundless army roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.
Making a prince kowtow and beg them to retreat. If word of this got out, their Tianxuan army would be awe-inspiring!
Dou Tiande's expression was wooden while the nine generals remained calm and did not say a word.
Bu Qingyun's expression changed. He took the initiative to step forward and kneel on one knee."Marshal, how dare you humiliate my Grand Xia? Please allow this general to lead the army out of the city and kill them all!”
Dou Tiande glanced at him and said nothing.
A general coldly said," Stand at your position. The marshal has his own plans whether to send troops or not!"”
"Marshal!" Bu Qingyun's expression darkened.
"Retreat!" Dou Tiande shouted coldly.
Bu Qingyun was unwilling, but Dou Tiande continued,""Go and see why the Fourth Prince isn't here yet. If he doesn't want to come, just kidnap him.”
"Yes."
"There's no need. I'm coming down!"
Jiang Daotian's expression was cold, his black hair draped over his shoulders, and his eyes were extremely cold.
"Greetings, Fourth Prince." Bu Qingyun and the other soldiers hurriedly knelt down and bowed.
Dou Tiande and the nine generals didn't move and just looked at him coldly.
Zhang Tianshan quickly stepped forward and cupped his fists.""Marshal, the Fourth Prince doesn't want to believe it and insulted His Majesty.”
"Your Highness, His Majesty's decree is here. Please act according to it.”Dou Tiande passed the imperial edict to Jiang Daotian.
Jiang Daotian took the imperial edict and opened it. The contents of the edict really made him kowtow ten times and beg Tianxuan to retreat.
"Fourth Prince, please." Dou Tiande took a few steps back with his men.
Jiang Daotian took a step forward and stood on the city wall. He looked at the boundless army with a calm expression."Old Marshal, how many years have I been at the border?”
"Twenty years." "Your Highness, although this is difficult to accept, please act according to the imperial edict." Dou Tiande said in a deep voice.”
"Wrong!" "Nineteen years and three hundred and fifty-five days," Jiang Daotian said coldly.”
Dou Tiande's heart sank. This Fourth Prince actually remembered it so clearly? Counting the days every day?
"In the past twenty years, have any enemies entered Blood Yellow City? Did the 300,000 soldiers at the border retreat even half a step?”
"Fourth Prince, please act according to the imperial edict. Don't force me to use force!”Dou Tiande's expression darkened.
"The 300,000 soldiers still don't know about this decree, right?" Jiang Daotian said calmly.”
"Fourth Prince, don't force me!" Dou Tiande's voice had already turned cold.
"300,000 soldiers fought a bloody battle. How many brothers died on the battlefield without begging for mercy!”
Jiang Daotian's black hair danced in the wind, and his voice was as cold as ice."Today, you want me to kowtow and beg for mercy?”
