Chapter 126 No, I want it! (Seeking monthly votes and to continue reading)

Yunzhou, Prince Liang's Palace.

In the hall, Xiao Dashan looked at Qin Changge and said, "Your Highness, are you about to fall into demonic possession?"

Qin Changge calmly said, "At a time like this, why distinguish between righteous and evil? As long as you can save your life, that's a good method."

Xiao Dashan thought for a moment, "In the past, there were demons who sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people to break through to the next realm, but they were later killed by your father."

"Sacrificing hundreds of thousands of people with blood..." Qin Changge's lips twitched. "There's no need to be so extreme."

Xiao Dashan shrugged. "The methods of the demonic path are pretty much all like this, otherwise everyone wouldn't be so hostile towards them."

Qin Changge rolled her eyes at Xiao Dashan, "Go to Qinglong Baoxing now and ask around for me if there's anything that can help someone quickly break through from Rank 2 to Rank 1 without damaging their foundation or harming the natural order."

"We need rapid improvement, a solid foundation, and..." Xiao Dashan counted on his fingers, looking at Qin Changge, "Your Highness, aren't you asking for too much?"

Qin Changge shoved Xiao Dashan, "Just go when I tell you to. Why all the nonsense? Tell Qinglong Baoxing that I'm not short of money!"

"Alright." Xiao Dashan nodded and walked towards the Yunzhou Qinglong Baoxing branch.

……

The Great Han Dynasty, on the border of Juzhou.

Outside the city, in a camp, King Lu Qin Changle, King Wu Qin Changxiao, King Ning Qin Changfeng, and King Zhou Qin Changjian were discussing matters.

"This big man is surprisingly courageous," Qin Changle remarked with some emotion.

“Yes, there were people like Xie Jingzhe before, but now it’s a completely different story…” Qin Changxiao chimed in.

The Qin army's attack on Juzhou was both successful and unsuccessful.

Fortunately, with the help of Qin Changge's formation-breaking talisman, the Han army's defensive formation was as flimsy as paper.

Unfortunately, even when the defensive formations failed, the Han army fought desperately, resulting in heavy losses on both the Qin and Han sides.

"Why don't we just have our ancestor kill Emperor Shouguang?" Qin Changjian suggested.

"You can command the ancestor?" Qin Changfeng rolled his eyes at Qin Changjian.

For a moment, the tent fell silent. After all, they were juniors, and it was absolutely impossible for them to command a first-rank ancestor.

"A first-rank expert should not be acted upon lightly; they should only be used at crucial moments," Qin Changfeng said. "There have been instances in history where first-rank experts have recklessly attacked the weak, only to be caught off guard and suffer a crushing defeat."

"Ah."

Qin Changjian and the others all nodded.

Although a first-rank master is like a pillar of strength, it would be too simplistic to think that having one guarantees peace of mind.

A first-rank cultivator is merely powerful enough, not guaranteed to win. With sufficient preparation, even a third- or fourth-rank cultivator can hunt down a first-rank cultivator.

Unless you're an unparalleled first-rank expert like Emperor Qin Tianlai, it's best not to use the first-rank skill indiscriminately.

"Let's just fight our way through," Qin Changle said indifferently. Having seen so many spineless cowards, he suddenly felt that the Han army was still worthy of respect.

Just then, a sudden sound came from outside the tent.

"Your humble servant He Cuicheng requests an audience with all the princes," the voice of He Cuicheng, the governor of Qingzhou, rang out.

"Come in," Qin Changle said calmly.

The next moment, He Cuicheng entered the tent, holding a secret order. "This news is too important. Please take a look, Your Highnesses."

Upon hearing this, Qin Changle took the envelope without saying a word, opened it, and then looked at it with disbelief.

Qin Changxiao, Qin Changfeng, and Qin Changjian, who were standing nearby, were very curious and came over to take a look at the contents of the letter.

"Outrageous!"

"This……"

"This Emperor Shouguang is simply an anomaly among emperors!"

Qin Changle stared in disbelief and said, "You can do this? The Han soldiers are fighting bloody battles on the front lines, and Emperor Shouguang just runs away?"

Qin Changxiao said, "I'm wondering what benefits this news could bring us."

Qin Changfeng said, "If we don't let the Han soldiers know this news, they might realize that the Han court is not worth their loyalty."

"Let's give it a try," Qin Changjian said calmly. Qin Changle nodded. "Have spies spread the news in Juzhou City, or rather, let the entire Han territory know about this."

"Exactly that."

"As it should be."

Qin Changxiao, Qin Changfeng, and others all agreed.

……

the next day.

The entire city of Juzhou was shrouded in an eerie atmosphere.

Emperor Shouguang of the Han Dynasty fled the capital and his whereabouts remain unknown.

This is outrageous!
The main hall of the governor's mansion.

The garrison commanders of Juzhou City gathered together to discuss the matter.

"Governor of Fengzhou, is this matter true or false?" General Ye Hongling asked.

"Yes, this matter could be big or small. If there isn't a definite result, the morale of the army might collapse," Vice General Xiao Hange echoed.

Sitting in the main seat, Kikushu Makifumi's expression was unpredictable.

"I have already inquired with the imperial court, and their reply was that it was pure rumor."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hongling, Xiao Hange, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thinking about it, that's ridiculous!"

"The Qin army is really shameful. They already had the upper hand, so why did they have to resort to such underhanded tactics?"

Many Han generals rolled their eyes, expressing their incomprehension of the Qin army's actions, since the Qin army had absolutely no reason to do so.

"but……"

Just then, Feng Wuhen's voice continued to resound, stirring the hearts of many Han soldiers present.

Feng Wuhen's gaze swept over the many soldiers present.

When the soldiers and Feng Wuhen exchanged glances, they all sensed something ominous.

“But I contacted my best friend from school privately, and he told me it’s true.” Feng Wuhen sighed, lowered his head, and stopped talking.

"Wow!!"

These words immediately caused an uproar among the soldiers in the hall.

"How could he do this?"

"For whom did we fight so fiercely, risking our lives?"

"How can he face the soldiers who died on the battlefield by doing this!"

Many of the generals were furious, their eyes filled with disbelief.

A mighty emperor, ruling over all under heaven and governing all people, actually deserted his post in the face of battle.

If we don't demand to die on the battlefield, can't we just follow the example of Emperor Qian Yuan and wait until we are truly unable to fight any longer before surrendering?

“Our Emperor is truly farsighted,” Feng Wuhen said with a self-deprecating smile. “He knew we couldn’t win, he knew the Han Dynasty couldn’t win, and he knew he would become a prisoner, so he ran away beforehand.”

Upon hearing this, the anger in the hearts of many soldiers surged once more!
They fought desperately, battling the Qin army to the death, but in Emperor Shouguang's eyes, they were certain they couldn't win...

They've become a joke!

Feng Wuhen looked at the many generals present and said, "I am prepared to surrender the city. What are your opinions?"

Upon hearing this, the generals all fell silent.

Seeing this, Feng Wuhen nodded.

Not opposing is supporting!

No, I want it!
