Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 229 The Prince's Threat

The huge army of the Far Eastern Dynasty was like a fiery red dragon. Wherever the army passed, the farmland was flattened and the forest turned into white ground. The forward troops had already arrived in Luoshan Province, and the rearguard troops were still having lunch in Qinghe Province.

The military flags are flying, the military songs are loud, the swords and guns are bright and the military is in full swing, and the huge conquest troops turn into rolling iron streams and cover the highways and trails leading to the east.

Wearing red cloaks and cavalry cloaks, the elite cavalry rode their horses galloping, raising smoke and dust to cover the sky.

Rows of infantry teams held their sharp spears high, and stepped sonorously and forcefully, crossing the river and walking across the plains, the morale of the entire army was high.

"It's been so many years since I've encountered such a grand occasion..." Lan Yu looked at the rolling iron stream, feeling deeply moved.

Chief of Staff Wu Changfeng nodded in response and said with a smile: "Perhaps many people have forgotten the bravery of the Dynasty when it patrolled the mainland, right?"

Marshal Lan Yu sighed: "The border area has not been peaceful these years. The barbarians in the west, the Hanhai people in the east, and the Rong people on the grassland are all eyeing our dynasty. I hope this time the large army will make them restrain themselves."

"It would be great if I could give them a hard lesson, it's really uncomfortable to hold my breath in my heart."

"The border guards are not as good as they used to be now. There is no Lin family guarding the east. Now it's good to be able to defend the border. How can we still have the ability to attack..." Lan Yu smiled wryly. All caused by self-destruction.

Wu Changfeng said angrily: "I remember when Marshal Lin was still there, the Hanhai people would back away when they saw the banner of our dynasty, and pay tribute every year. Now they dare to confront our border guards. Alas, I really don't know that the border guards are now the commander-in-chief. What are you eating?"

"Hmph, how much do you expect a playboy to do," Lan Yu said disdainfully.

Since Lin's fall, the current commander-in-chief of the Eastern Frontier Army is the empress's natal family. Although he has the title of Duke, he is really a waste.

Wu Changfeng sighed and stopped talking. Looking at the rolling iron stream, his mind was full of thoughts.

"Drive—drive—"

A cavalryman wearing fiery red armor rushed from a distance, and rushed directly to the hillside where Sapphire and the others were standing. The cavalry on the horse reined in the horse in front of Sapphire, and the horse kicked twice in a row before it was stable. live.

"Master Marshal, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is going to slaughter the village, Commander Zhou please go there immediately." The cavalry reported hurriedly.

Lan Yu and Wu Changfeng looked at each other, and both saw deep helplessness in each other's eyes.

"lead the way--"

Sapphire waved her whip and followed the cavalry towards the scene of the incident.

This time the army went out to suppress the rebels, and the third prince Long Rui was appointed as the military supervisor, exercising the power of supervision over the entire suppression force.

For Long Rui to serve as his military supervisor, Lan Yu was 1 unwilling, because Long Rui was notorious outside, and besides being handsome, he was basically an idiot.

But Lan Yu couldn't directly reject the military supervisor to Emperor Long Yuan, so he could only accept it with a bitter face.

The reason why Long Rui's mind was opened up, and the purpose of recommending himself to be the military supervisor was nothing else, but it was for Lan Yu's daughter, Lan Yu.

How could the scheming Lan Yu not know what Long Rui was up to, so he arranged for Haotian to bring Lan Yu to the vanguard and hide.

Finding someone among hundreds of thousands of troops is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Although Long Rui has the title of prince, but now it is Lan Yu's territory, he deliberately hides his daughter's whereabouts, and Long Rui is helpless.

Long Rui who couldn't find Lan Yu was very angry, but he didn't dare to break up with Lan Yu directly. After all, the other party was a marshal with a heavy army in his hand, and he was just an idle prince.

Although head-to-head was not enough, Long Rui, under the advice of his staff, began to exercise his privilege of supervising the army, looking for trouble everywhere, forcing Lan Yu to hand over Lan Yu.

"Third Highness is really worried." Wu Changfeng complained.

Lan Yu agreed: "It would be great if someone sent this plague god away."

Long Rui not only interfered with the command of the army, but also often lost his temper. If Lan Yu hadn't come forward in time the day before yesterday, a general who accidentally bumped into him would have been beaten to death by Long Rui, and now he was going to massacre the village. I really don't know how Longyuan gave birth to such a bastard son.

"Wrap me up! Don't let one escape!"

Outside a small village next to the provincial highway, Long Rui was riding in his noble and gorgeous carriage, yelling at his subordinates constantly.

The entire small village has been surrounded by heavily armed soldiers. The soldiers are pouring oil on the village. There are crying and howling in the village, and there are still several corpses of villagers lying at the entrance of the village.

Zhou Dingfang, the commander of the First Army of the Central Army, was on the sidelines as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he couldn't stop the prince Long Rui's rampant behavior at all.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes in the distance, Zhou Dingfang, the head of the First Army, rushed over as if seeing a savior.

"Marshal, save the villagers, the Third Highness wants to slaughter the village."

Lan Yu got off her horse, walked towards the surrounded village, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Zhou Dingfang, the head of the First Army, hurriedly told Lan Yu the ins and outs of the incident.

It turned out that when the prince Long Rui was passing by this village, he happened to see a beautiful village girl, and became very lustful. He returned to his original nature when he was in Wang Jing, and wanted to rob this village girl.

Who knew that when Long Rui started to attack, the village girl's cry for help attracted her family members, after a lot of tearing, Long Rui ordered to kill her family members, just the corpses lying at the entrance of the village.

The village girl refused to obey, bit her tongue and committed suicide. Seeing the beautiful village girl turn into a cold corpse greatly affected Long Rui's interest. Regardless of the opposition of the surrounding generals, he ordered the village to be set on fire to punish these evil people .

"Give me more fuel, I want to see how tough you are!" Long Rui yelled at the guards while biting the fruit viciously.

"Third Highness, you can't burn it." Sapphire stepped forward to stop it hastily.

Long Rui turned his head and saw Lan Yu and asked: "Why can't these untouchables be burned? I just want them to know what will happen to them if they offend me. How dare they resist and turn against her!"

"Third Highness, it would be bad if this provoked a civil uprising, and His Majesty will know by then..."

Long Rui stared at Sapphire, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes: "Are you threatening me?!"

Lan Yu replied neither humble nor overbearing: "I dare not threaten His Highness, I just tell the truth."

"Then what do you say? Could it be that His Highness will not get angry!"

"Your Highness, you have already killed their whole family, why bother to hurt the innocent again."

"Okay, it's fine if you don't kill them, I want to see Miss Lan Yu." Long Rui looked at Lan Yu and discussed the conditions.

"I don't know where the little girl is now..."

Before Lan Yu finished speaking, Long Rui turned around and waved: "Light me up."

Lan Yu sighed: "Your Highness, I will send someone to look for it right away."

"That's about the same," Long Rui's mouth flashed a look of triumphant trickery, and he waved at the guards: "Get out, for Marshal Lan's sake, spare their lives."

"Marshal Lan, don't break your promise, if I don't see Miss Lan Yu today, hehe—"

Under the protection of the guards, Long Rui drove away slowly, Lan Yu stood there, eager to catch up and strangle Long Rui to death.
