“Liu Mansheng! You’re despicable!” Chu Pengfei’s face became pale. The Chu Army soldiers crowded close to one another and vigilantly looked around.
Chu Pengcheng was full of sadness. He sorrowfully laughed and said, “Hahahaha… The Chu Family of mine is regarded by the commoners of Tian Zhao as the family of God of Wars… The Chu Army has sacrificed our heads and shed our blood to defend Liang city for decades… I never thought that we would face such an outcome today!
“What a great Liu Mansheng. What a great Third Prince… This is such a joke! Such a joke!”
Whoosh!
Chu Pengcheng drew out his long sword and looked at Liu Mansheng with murderous intent. “Today, even if I, Chu Pengcheng, die, I will drag you along with me!”
The others in the Chu Army also drew out their long swords with sadness and desolation. They had resolute expressions on their faces, intending to fight to their deaths…
Liu Mansheng squinted. “Huh, Chu Pengcheng, if I remember correctly, your mother is still in the Imperial city, isn’t she? How about a negotiation? If you, Chu Pengfei, your father, and the Chu Army soldiers can make yourself ‘die on the battlefield,’ we will let the Chu Army and the Chu Family off! I will let all of you become martyrs. Otherwise, it’s going to be you, the Chu Army, who will be the treacherous ones who caused the death of the Prince!”
.
“Pfft…”
Zhen Guogong, who had just woken up, heard this and felt a pain in his chest. A mouthful of warm blood splashed out of his mouth.
“Despicable! Shameless! Outrageous! Liu Mansheng, you must die. You will go to hell!”
The other generals looked at Zhen Guogong and the others, who seemed mad and intimidating. Their hearts were filled with sorrow.
Liu Mansheng is so despicable and cold-blooded!
But our future might not be any better than that of the Chu Army…
“Stupid fool!”
Zhen Guogong mercilessly cursed, which made Liu Mansheng’s face sink. “Seems like you want to do this the hard way, then go to hell! Li Wen, Li Wu, come on! Get rid of the Chu Army! Also, every other general here, if any of you do not take action, then don’t blame me for sending you in the same plight as the Chu Army!”
If these people did not kill the Chu Army soldiers with him and cover up the truth about the death of Crown Prince, he would never trust them!
The other generals looked at each other before shutting their eyes and clenching their teeth. Then, they opened their eyes again.
“No way! I still have children at home. I cannot die here!”
“I have an old mother back at home…”
“Zhen Guogong, General Chu, Second Young Master, I’m sorry!”
These people did not want to be associated with criminals, and they regretted standing on Liu Mansheng’s side. However, right now, they were already like an arrow on the bow. There was no way they could stop themselves!
Countless people drew out their long swords. The icy glow of the sword flashed, making their faces look murderous and ferocious. It was a terrifying sight.
The hearts of the people in the Chu Army tightened a little. An endless sense of despair suddenly rose from the bottom of their hearts.
Suddenly…
“Master Guogong! General Chu! Second Young Master, we will cover for you. Hurry and run!” Someone in the Chu Army shouted.
“No, it’s the Chu Family who has let all of you down. If we die, we die together!”
“Wow! Die together!”
Great ardor and zeal coursed through the blood of the Chu Army!
“Hmph!” Liu Mansheng looked really unhappy. “You are all going to die, yet you’re still causing problems here! Hurry up, all of you. Kill them all!”
Li Wen, Li Wu, and the generals slowly surrounded the Chu Army.
Suddenly!
“There are so many of you. Isn’t it a little ugly to bully a team of lesser strength?”
A cold, firm, and familiar voice rang out.
“Huh? Who is it?” Liu Mansheng’s expression changed. At such a time, are there still people who dare resist me?
“Ha! General Liu, it has only been a few hours. Can you not recognize my voice anymore?”
“Your voice? T-This! Is this Your Royal Highness?”
“How could it be! Isn’t the… the Crown Prince dead?”
