Chapter 83 The Whereabouts of Emperor Qian
After confirming that no one was pursuing them, several spies took Zhao Wanjun back to the vicinity of the low border town.
This behavior was undoubtedly risky, but Zhao Wanjun really wanted to see the outcome of the city over there.
It's as if I want to let go of something completely.
The spies were also concerned about the safety of their brothers, and while ensuring their safety as much as possible, they watched the low town from afar.
Surprisingly, the small town was destroyed overnight.
The ground was littered with corpses and blood flowed like a river.
The heads of many officials were hung in front of the city gate, as if it was a mockery and humiliation of the Xu Kingdom to the surrendered people of the Qian Kingdom.
They had no intention of letting these people go, they just used a psychological warfare strategy to reduce casualties on their side.
After keeping the promise for many days, the Xu Kingdom cavalry paralyzed the soldiers in the small town.
Last night, the cavalry suddenly rose up and attacked the city fiercely.
Caught off guard, the small town was breached in an instant.
After not fighting for many days, the soldiers of Qian State had lost their will to fight, and when they saw the cavalry charging towards them, they just tried to escape.
The people had no intention of resisting and only wanted to beg for mercy.
The small town that had held out for many days was easily taken away.
The young and strong were hacked to death, the children were drowned, and the women were abducted.
Of the soldiers and civilians in the city, only a few old and weak were left, sitting among the ruins with lifeless eyes.
He looked so miserable, and no one knew what he had been through.
Zhao Wanjun closed his eyes in pain, but his heart seemed to be relieved.
It is impossible not to hate those people.
She once fought hard to protect these people, but in the end she was handed over to the enemy by the people themselves!
But if he saw them all die, Zhao Wanjun would feel a little bit reluctant.
After all, they were all from the same country. And the number of civilians who died in this city was more than tens of thousands.
Finally, she just sighed.
This Qian Kingdom has been rotting in comfort, perhaps, it is destined to be like this.
The leader of the spies hurried to check the place where the mark was left.
Of the four spies who stayed in the city, only two returned.
The remaining two were unable to charge into the chaos and were killed by the Xu State cavalry.
Zhao Wanjun sighed again and bowed deeply towards the small town.
She was destined to die in humiliation.
These spies could have survived.
But in order to save Zhao Wanjun, these spies would risk their lives and personally enter the small town.
In order to ensure her survival and escape, these good men chose to stay and delay those officials.
Accept his grace and remember his kindness.
The surrendered official was dead, and the only targets for revenge were the Xu country cavalry.
One day, Zhao Wanjun will pick up a knife, cut off the heads of those Xu country cavalrymen, and avenge these heroes!
The spy leader was a strong man, but his eyes were red at this moment.
These are brothers who have been with him for many years, experiencing the Great Yue famine and all the hardships along the way.
Unfortunately, he died here.
"My brothers, I swear, your blood will not be shed in vain!"
"An Yue will always remember you! We will also always remember you!"
The spy leader bowed towards the ruined town from afar, clenched his teeth, wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, and turned away with Zhao Wanjun.
After more than a month, the spies brought Zhao Wanjun back to Anshan safely.
When Zhao Wanjun stepped into Anyue, he noticed the difference from Qian Kingdom at first sight.
"The people here have light in their eyes..."
Zhao Wanjun murmured, his mind a little dazed.
Most of the people in Qian Kingdom live numbly. No matter they are bullied or faced with injustice, they choose to swallow their anger and endure it.
Under the corrupt official system of the Qian Kingdom, the people have long lost their motivation and only want to protect their own piece of land and live a day-to-day life.
It’s not a bad thing, but it still lacks some enthusiasm and passion.
Perhaps, this is why it was so easy for Xu Kingdom to defeat Qian Kingdom.
Although some brave people stood up, most of the people in Qian country just wanted to hide and live numbly.
Zhao Wanjun looked towards Anyue's fields.
However, the people of Anyue Kingdom have hope in their eyes and always have a smile on their faces.
"Why is this..."
Zhao Wanjun was a little confused.
Along the way, several spies also chatted with her.
Zhao Wanjun also learned about Anyue's origin and the causes and consequences.
According to her conception, the people of Anyue suffered from famine, were oppressed and controlled by immortals and gods, and were devoured and bullied by demons.
Later, it took a long time and they traveled thousands of miles to finally reach the barren land of Anshan.
After experiencing so much suffering, shouldn't the people of Anyue be depressed and numb in their hearts?
Why are you so energetic and full of energy?
The spies noticed Zhao Wanjun's surprise, but they just looked at each other.
The journey from Dayue has been through thousands of mountains and rivers, and every step has been difficult and arduous. It cannot be described in words.
Even when they think back on it, An Yue's experience and birth still seem incredible.
What's more, someone who has never seen those things.
Emperor Anyue summoned Zhao Wanjun.
Zhao Wanjun observed the etiquette of a foreign minister and spoke respectfully to Emperor Anyue.
At the beginning, of course, it was just some insignificant formalities.
It was not until Emperor Anyue had easily tricked Zhao Wanjun into saying something that he expressed Anyue's willingness to help the Qian Kingdom.
Zhao Wanjun was very surprised and excited:
"Your Majesty the Moon Emperor, are you willing to send troops to help the Qian Kingdom?!"
Emperor Anyue smiled calmly: "I understand the principle of lips and teeth being cold."
"It's just that the matter of sending troops depends on one person."
Emperor Anyue's gaze fell on Zhao Wanjun.
Although Zhao Wanjun was straightforward, he was not stupid: "You mean, the key lies in the Emperor of our Qian Kingdom?"
Emperor Anyue nodded lightly.
"When An Yue was first built, I met Emperor Qian and talked with him for a long time. We can be called friends."
"When a friend is in trouble, you should help him."
"It's just that I want to help my friends, not the wolfhounds."
Emperor Anyue's words had a hidden meaning.
Zhao Wanjun was already very excited: "Your Majesty the Moon Emperor, don't worry!"
"Zhao knows where the Emperor of Qian is!"
"After he was stabbed and injured, he hid in the tunnel in Zhao's house!"
"After my Zhao Mansion was framed by thieves, Zhao's parents took advantage of the situation and faked his own death. Now, they are personally looking after him!"
"Although the tunnels have stored a lot of dry food and water, they have been living in the tunnels and dare not show up in the outside world. I guess they can no longer hide!"
"Your Majesty the Moon Emperor, Zhao begs you to send troops to help the Qian Kingdom as soon as possible!"
Emperor Anyue was somewhat stunned, but his expression did not change at all.
But, there was silence for a long time.
Zhao Wanjun was a little puzzled: "What happened to His Majesty the Moon Emperor?"
Emperor Anyue just smiled indifferently.
After a long while, he sighed towards the back of the palace throne:
"Master Li Yuan, your character is a little too straightforward."
"If I want to harm the Kingdom of Qian, I only need to say a few words, and I'm afraid I can get her to reveal the entire Kingdom of Qian's military defenses."
A blush appeared on Zhao Wanjun's face, and she became a little alert.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
Li Yuan walked out leisurely from behind the throne.
"Hey~ You are so straightforward, you are not suitable for officialdom at all."
Li Yuan teased, crossing his arms across his chest.
At a glance, he saw the horrific knife mark on Zhao Wanjun's neck and sighed in his heart.
Zhao Wanjun widened his eyes, even ignoring the Emperor Anyue in front of him:
"Li Xiaoyao?!"
Li Yuan blushed:
"Uh-huh!"
"Stop saying that shameful name. My name is Li Yuan."
I was young and energetic at the time, and it was my first time traveling outside, so my behavior was more or less a bit abstract and immature.
Now when I hear people call me like that, I can’t help but feel embarrassed.
