Chapter 129 I Don't Owe You Anything! (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Reading Commitment)

In the jungle.

Qin Changxiao and Qin Changfeng both frowned.

"What do you mean?" Qin Changxiao looked at Ye Hongling and said, "You're saying this Emperor Shouguang is a fake?"

“Yes.” Ye Hongling nodded. “This guy should be Emperor Shouguang’s henchman. Now he’s luring us pursuers away for Emperor Shouguang.”

Upon hearing this, both Qin Changxiao and Qin Changfeng frowned.

"Send men to continue the search. This Emperor Shouguang shouldn't have gone far!" Qin Changxiao ordered.

"Yes!" The Qin soldiers continued their investigation.

Qin Changfeng looked at the fake Emperor Shouguang, pondered for a moment, and said, "Should we interrogate him?"

"No need." Qin Changxiao shook his head. "Since they are suicide soldiers, they will definitely rather die than submit. Let's just kill them."

"Mm." Qin Changfeng nodded.

This assassin, dressed in the dragon robe of Emperor Shouguang, was indeed tough and did not beg for mercy.

puff! !

A head flew into the air.

Both Qin Changfeng and Qin Changxiao felt a pang of regret.

Even though Emperor Shouguang had lost the hearts of the people of the Han Dynasty, there were still people willing to risk their lives for him.

"Your Highness, suspicious individuals have been spotted ahead!" a scout reported.

Without saying a word, Qin Changxiao transformed into Yinglong once again and flew in the direction the scout had pointed.

They came to a stream, where a fair-skinned farmer was surrounded by Qin soldiers.

Qin Changxiao appeared here, transformed back into human form, looked at the farmer, and shook his head.

"Why dress up as a farmer?" Qin Changxiao was speechless.

What kind of farmer is so fair-skinned and has no calluses on his hands? What kind of farmer is that?
Emperor Shouguang said helplessly, "It's impossible for a handsome young man to appear in the deepest mountains and forests, is it?"

“That’s true,” Qin Changxiao nodded.

At this moment, Qin Changfeng arrived late, looked at Emperor Shouguang, and then glanced at Ye Hongling beside him, "Is this guy Emperor Shouguang?"

Ye Hongling nodded. "I've met him once before, and he is indeed the Emperor of Shouguang!"

Both Qin Changxiao and Qin Changfeng were very satisfied with these words.

Emperor Shouguang said, "I am willing to cooperate with you. How about I surrender?"

"That depends on your performance," Qin Changxiao said calmly.

Qin Changfeng said, "Let's head to the front lines immediately; we might come in very handy."

……

……

The Great Han Dynasty, Pingzhou.

Outside Pingzhou City, in a camp, Qin Changle and Qin Changjian were discussing matters.

"Tough bones!"

Qin Changle praised, "Although the emperor of the Han Dynasty is somewhat unreliable, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty are indeed tough and courageous!"

Qin Changjian rolled his eyes at Qin Changle, "Brother, which side are you on?"

Qin Changle said, "Anyway, we're bound to win. It's just a matter of sooner or later, so what's the rush?"

During the time Qin Changle has been in command, he has honed his composure and self-control.

"Hmm." Qin Changjian was relieved to hear this, after all, the Qin army did indeed have a great advantage.

Now all we need to do is conquer the capital and let the top-tier experts duel.

"Pingzhou City is the last line of defense for the capital of the Han Dynasty. If Pingzhou City falls, the Han Dynasty will basically lose."

Qin Changle looked at the capital city and said, "As for the capital city, we can only ask the First-Rank Ancestor to take action."

"Yes." Qin Changjian nodded in agreement.

Just then, Qin Changxiao and Qin Changfeng entered the tent.

"Emperor Shouguang has been found!" Qin Changxiao said.

Qin Changle and Qin Changjian raised their eyelids and said, "Found it, what's the use?"

"Should we let him try to persuade them to surrender?" Qin Changfeng suggested.

Qin Changle and Qin Changjian were both somewhat curious.

"What use is a deposed emperor like him?"

"Yes, it is said that the Han Dynasty has established a new emperor, and the current Emperor Shouguang is already a deposed emperor."

Qin Changxiao nodded. "Whether it works or not, we'll find out by trying."

"That's true," Qin Changle and Qin Changjian both agreed.

Thus, Emperor Shouguang was pushed down from the city wall.

At this moment, Emperor Shouguang, now dressed in a dragon robe, looked extremely majestic. Having been emperor for decades, he had certainly cultivated a refined demeanor.

However, his previous escape had completely depleted his prestige.

"I am Emperor Shouguang! Governor of Pingzhou, come out and surrender immediately!" Emperor Shouguang shouted.

On the city walls of Pingzhou, the soldiers guarding the city all looked on in disbelief at this scene.

As generals, they had naturally met Emperor Shouguang.

It was precisely because they knew that the person in front of them was not a fake, but the genuine Emperor Shouguang, that they found it so unacceptable.

"Pingzhou Governor Yan Jingchen, you must surrender the city immediately, or you will be considered a traitor to the court!" Emperor Shouguang raised his voice.

The garrison commanders of Pingzhou City were speechless at the sight.

Who exactly betrayed the imperial court?

It was clearly Emperor Shouguang, wasn't it!
"Open the gates and surrender!" Yan Jingchen, the governor of Pingzhou, said with a stern face.

Upon hearing this, many of the guards present looked at Yan Jingchen with disbelief.

Yan Jingchen said, "Listen to my order, open the city gates and surrender!"

Upon hearing this, many of the garrison commanders present sighed and responded in a muffled voice.

"Open the gates and surrender!"

At this moment, the Pingzhou army, which had been putting up a fierce resistance, laid down their weapons, opened the city gates, and chose to surrender.

Emperor Shouguang, standing beneath the city wall, breathed a sigh of relief upon witnessing this scene.

If he cannot persuade them to surrender, then he is of no value to the Qin army and will only be killed.

Fortunately, Emperor Shouguang, this deposed emperor, still had some value!

Just then, Yan Jingchen, the governor of Pingzhou, placed a knife to his neck on the city wall.

"I surrendered the city to repay your kindness, and I committed suicide to give an explanation to the people of the Han Dynasty!"

"Chen Xuanji, I owe you nothing!"

After saying this, Pingzhou Muyan Jingchen suddenly slit his throat, the blade flashing coldly, and a fine head fell from the city wall to the ground below.

It rolled around and came to a stop in front of Emperor Shouguang, Chen Xuanji.

Chen Xuanji's gaze fell on Yan Jingchen's head, and he was completely stunned, his mind blank.

The next moment, Chen Xuanji couldn't help but take a step back.

"I also thought about committing suicide when I was by the stream, but... the water was too cold."

……

Qin Changle, Qin Changxiao, Qin Changfeng, Qin Changjian and others arrived in Pingzhou City. Looking at Yan Jingchen's corpse, they all sighed with sorrow.

"Collect the body of the Governor of Yan Province and give him a proper burial," Qin Changle ordered. "Reorganize the Ping Province army and set off tomorrow, heading straight for the capital!"

"Yes!" the Qin army responded with overwhelming momentum.

Qin Changle and the others looked at Emperor Shouguang and said, "We'll have to trouble you with the battle for the capital then."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Shouguang's face turned pale. There was a first-rank ancestor in the capital, so his words probably wouldn't carry any weight.
