Chapter 1119 King
Chapter 1119 King
Yue Taigong was struck by lightning. He stared blankly at the pool of flesh and blood not far away, his brain a mess.
At the same time, thoughts popped up uncontrollably.
Did Yu Haitang deliberately agree to forgive Lian'er, and then secretly instruct Yu Yuanba to kill her?
No, this method is too crude, and there is no need to kill it now.
Was that Yu Yuanba's own decision? The possibility is not small. With his reckless character, after knowing that Yu Canglan was assassinated by Lian'er and that the other party was the real culprit who secretly poisoned him, he might really beat him to death in a rage.
It is even possible that Yu Yuanba was trying to alienate himself and Yu Haitang in person. After all, the reason he could stand on the same side with Yu Haitang at the moment was because of his relationship with Lian'er. But after he admitted defeat and directly recognized Yu Haitang as the heir to the throne.
That also completely cut off the possibility of him taking charge of the Wuwei Palace.
That's why he attacked Yu Haitang directly at the critical moment when Yu Haitang agreed to forgive Lian'er.
But this is Yu Yuanba. Would he really think so much, or did everything actually go back to the starting point, with Yu Haitang secretly instructing him, because the cruder the method looks, the higher the success rate of its implementation.
At this moment, Yue Taigong only felt his brain buzzing, and messy thoughts kept hitting his spiritual sea.
If it was Yu Gucheng who took action, he could narrow down the options to three, but because it was Yu Yuanba who killed Yu Huanglian, even though he had some guesses, he still felt that something was wrong.
It was not until Yu Haitang's angry shout that his increasingly confused thoughts were interrupted.
"Fourth brother! What are you doing!?"
"I was just about to ask Third Sister what you are doing!" Yu Yuanba hammered the ground angrily, and the stirred-up sand dispersed most of the blood and flesh, and he said with red eyes.
"You actually want to forgive this bitch! She killed my elder brother first, and now she wants to murder me. It was because of this bitch that I retreated from the front line, which also put the palace at a disadvantage in the first battle!
During this period, how many soldiers died because of this bitch's selfishness.
And the chaos outside has not stopped yet. As the Wuwei Army, the first legion in the North, those soldiers should have died defending their homeland, but now thousands of them have been buried in their ambitions!
And you said you wanted to forgive her?
Why!
Just because of this old man Yue’s kneeling?
Why can his kneeling absolve that bitch of her blood debt? Why can he ignore the sacrifices of those iron-blooded soldiers?
What a damn Northern God of War!
Bah! How dare he say that he accepted the punishment and accepted the death!
You old man, go outside and take a look at the bodies of those soldiers who trusted you!
In front of those corpses, do you think they will forgive this bitch? Speak now!"
Yu Yuanba was furious at this moment. He stepped forward, grabbed Yue Taigong by the collar, and tried to drag him out of the hall.
Even the several army commanders who were on good terms with Yue Taigong had no face to stand up to stop him at this time. They were also the leaders of an army, and therefore they knew better that Yue Taigong's move was not only a betrayal of King Wuwei, but also a betrayal of the trust his soldiers had in him.
"Haha, the Fourth Prince is right. How dare you force the Third Prince to forgive this?" Gu Jiantang couldn't find the right words to describe Yu Huanglian. Considering her identity, he couldn't call her a bitch like Yu Yuanba did.
But the sarcasm in his words was not concealed at all.
No one, including other army commanders, has stood up to speak for Yue Taigong.
Because the only thing they respected about Yu Huanglian was her identity as the daughter of King Wuwei, and this respect was completely wiped out because of her willful behavior again.
When it comes to loyalty to King Wuwei, the eight wolf generals present are the same.
But when it comes to my opinion of Yu Huanglian, things become very complicated.
It stands to reason that if one is loyal to the king, he will also be loyal to his descendants.
But who could blame Yu Huanglian for being so unbearable? To those veteran military commanders, they had all witnessed her savagery and willfulness. Moreover, more than ten years ago, because of her arbitrary remarks, the entire northern border was almost attacked by the Great Xuan Dynasty.
At that time, the eight major armies were not fully staffed and they were doing their best to fight against the Northern Barbarians on the front line. If they were to be stabbed in the back by their own people again, the people of the entire northern border would fall into despair.
The root of this is all because of what Yu Huanglian said.
So one can imagine how bad the impression of Her Royal Highness the Princess was among the veteran wolf generals present, not to mention that the first thing she did after her return was to almost destroy the entire Northern Territory.
As for several military commanders who have just become Wolf Generals in recent years, they are well aware that Yu Huanglian is a name that should not be mentioned, and they have also vaguely heard some rumors about her.
But as a dead person, he doesn't need their much attention.
The result was an unexpected resurrection of the dead, and then another big "surprise".
And her behavior really portrayed the relationship between a tiger father and a dog daughter to the fullest.
So after seeing Yu Yuanba hammering Yu Huanglian to death, some people were cheering silently in secret.
Because they all saw clearly that Her Royal Highness the Princess was unwilling to give in, and that she would definitely continue to cause trouble afterwards, but the current situation in the North would not allow her to continue.
It was the halo of being the only daughter of King Wuwei that made them dare not act rashly.
Fortunately, the Fourth Prince is reckless enough.
Now they have put the truth behind Yu Huanglian's death and are more concerned about how to deal with Yue Taigong.
At this moment, under the instruction of Yu Haitang, Yu Gucheng has stopped Yu Yuanba and rescued the confused Yue Taigong from his hands.
"Kill me." Yue Taigong said in a low voice.
"We'll talk about the treatment of my fourth brother later. After all, she is my adoptive father's only blood." Yu Haitang first set the tone for the 'accident' incident, and then changed the subject, "But some of what he said just now is not wrong.
Many of our Northern warriors died in this battle, and their behavior can actually be regarded as a betrayal of the entire North.
General Yue can naturally just die, you no longer care about your reputation and influence.
But what about them? They have spent their entire lives protecting the North, but in the end they are labeled as traitors, and their family members and relatives will be regarded as accomplices by the people of the North. From then on, they will be pointed at when they walk on the street.
More importantly, the Wuwei Army, a legion that the adoptive father had placed high hopes on, will bear a stain that can never be washed away forever.
So are you sure you really want to end this farce with your death?"
Yue Taigong suddenly raised his head, and there was a little more brilliance in his originally cloudy eyes.
It is easy to seek death, but it is not difficult to seek life.
He originally thought that King Wuwei was dead, Yu Huanglian was dead, and after she died, there was no one or anything he cared about anymore. But now it seems that this identity that was once forcibly imposed on him by Yu Wushi has created an inseparable bond for him.
At this moment, he was no longer in the mood to consider the truth behind Yu Huanglian's death.
Because there are still countless living people who bear the sins that they must bear after making this stubborn decision.
"I"
Yue Taigong wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, every word Yu Yuanba said just now exploded in his ears like thunder.
What could he ask for? Could he continue to rely on his old face to ask His Highness the Third Prince to forgive those soldiers who were just following orders?
Betrayal is betrayal. Even if they followed his orders, after activating the defensive barrier and casting the arcane formation that gathered the power of the earth veins, the actions of those soldiers could be seen as a stab in the heart of the entire North.
"I"
Yue Taigong knelt weakly on the ground. He tried to speak again and again, but as soon as he uttered the word "I", he didn't know how to start the rest of the sentence.
Lu Yuehong, the commander of the Shanzi Army who had the closest relationship with him, wanted to speak but was stopped by two commanders on the side.
Yue Taigong alone could not bear the punishment for this incident. Even if a commander of the Shanzi Army was added, he would not be able to cover up the matter with a few casual words.
After taking a deep breath, Yu Haitang said:
"Go to the frontline. If the Wuwei Army wants to cleanse itself of its current sins, it should go to the frontline and kill the enemy. Each person needs to get ten heads to complete the mission.
I will use public opinion to direct the situation of this battle to the Great Xuan Dynasty. It was they who launched a surprise attack on us from behind, but it was not a civil war in our palace. Afterwards, I will issue a strict order prohibiting those involved from spreading the news.
Next, the defense of Wuwei City was handed over to the Lei Army. We were no longer able to participate in the rat tide battle in the south.
At the same time, due to the natural disasters that will be caused by the power of the earth veins, more troops will be needed to garrison in those dangerous areas to guard against crises that may come at any time.
This part will be under the charge of the Fire Army and the Water Army. When your two armies retreat from the front line, it will be a good opportunity for the Wuwei Army to take over.
However, the commander-in-chief on the front battlefield must be Commander Lu of the Shanzi Army. Even if he orders the Wuwei Army to launch a suicide attack, you cannot refuse, and the next battle line must not retreat a single step.
Even if I have to use the corpses of Wuwei soldiers to fill the gap, I will clear a bloody path to drive the enemy out of the northern border!
Yue Taigong, are you willing to accept the order? "
"The guilty minister accepts the order."
Yue Taigong's eyes were filled with tears. This was the best outcome he could have imagined.
This is also the only solution to prevent the Wuwei Army soldiers from being branded as traitors because of their blind obedience to him.
At the same time, he also clearly felt Yu Haitang's care.
Because the commander of the Shanzi Army, Lu Yuehong, was the commander with whom he had the best relationship, and he came from the Wuwei Army, it was impossible for him to let the Wuwei Army soldiers launch a suicidal attack as he said.
More importantly, even after such a scandal, Yu Haitang still did not resign from his position as army commander, and gave the Wuwei army a chance to prove themselves again.
"I thank the king for his kindness."
Yue Taigong knelt solemnly towards Yu Haitang. He had knelt before out of Yu Huanglian's love, so naturally it was not sincere. But now he admitted from the bottom of his heart that it was the right thing to do for Yu Haitang to inherit the Wuwei Palace.
This is a completely different kind of leadership charisma from Yu Wushi.
No matter what the other party considered, the leeway and opportunity she left for him at this moment, or should we say kindness, was worth him spending the rest of his life to atone for his sins.
This time, Yu Haitang did not help him up immediately. Instead, after acknowledging the salute, she looked at the other seven commanders present who were also convinced.
From their point of view, no matter how cruel Yu Haitang was, there was nothing wrong with dragging Yue Taigong outside and cutting him into pieces. It was just that the other party chose another way to deal with the Wuwei army, which made them feel surprised and admired.
Because at this moment, they vaguely saw the man's magnanimity and courage in Yu Haitang.
This is also one of the characteristics that a monarch must possess.
In comparison, although Yu Yuanba decisively killed Yu Huanglian, which made them feel somewhat relieved, his reckless behavior and revengeful character seemed particularly real and there was nothing to admire about him.
If Yu Yuanba were to deal with Yue Taigong, he would probably have beaten him to death on the spot.
Perhaps from some perspectives, it is cool enough, but the hidden dangers in the north will be difficult to solve.
Yue Taigong's prestige cannot be ignored. He can be discredited, but the truth about this civil war must not be made public at this critical moment when we are at war with the Daxuan Dynasty, otherwise the front line will definitely collapse at the first moment.
The entire northern people will be caught up in the war, and even the Wuwei Palace may no longer exist.
Therefore, Yu Haitang's way of handling the matter now made him sincerely convinced, and he also recognized that the other party was definitely capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of being the king.
Even the commander of the Lei Army, Gu Jiantang, who seemed to have the worst relationship with Yue Taigong, thought this was the best outcome. Of course, part of the reason for this was that he would be in charge of the defense of the largest city in the North.
This is also one step closer to his goal of becoming the leader of the Eight Wolf Generals.
Yu Haitang then began to sort out and arrange the follow-up work in this dilapidated hall. With her ability to open the space channel at any time, it also meant that after things were properly arranged, the now somewhat chaotic Northern Territory would restore order in the shortest time.
At the same time, at the initiative of several military commanders, the ceremony for Yu Haitang to take over the throne was arranged to be held one day later in a simple and quick manner.
On the other side, the man in purple who had been looking at the hall from afar was already ready to leave.
"I thought you would take action just now." Baili Hong looked a little surprised. He noticed that when the other party witnessed Yu Huanglian's death, he had no other emotional reaction except a little bit of emotion.
"I've saved her once." The man in purple said calmly.
"But she is your biological daughter, although you have raised her a little... Tsk tsk tsk tsk, don't you know how to educate her?" Baili Hong stopped abruptly. He thought of the other four adopted sons that the other party had adopted since childhood. These four were impeccable in all fields.
Even Yu Yuanba, who seems the most reckless, has a good reputation among the military and civilians.
So why was Yu Huanglian useless?
"Is she really your biological daughter?" Baili Hong suddenly asked, because he knew the fateful body of the purple-clothed man in front of him, Zhu Wusi. It seemed that the original owner took over a widow with a baby.
It is conceivable that, precisely because Yu Huanglian is not his biological daughter, the man in purple would not be too demanding of her. That is also why he doted on her to the utmost, and ended up spoiling her.
"She is my daughter." The purple-clothed man said calmly, "She is also my daughter."
The man in purple took a last look at Hua Lianxing, who was arranging a series of related matters in the hall, and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
