Chapter 510: Chapter 509: This Time, There’s No Choice but to Leave
The Royal Army of Long Tianliu now feared the very mention of "Asura, the War God".
Upon hearing his title, they had not yet gone into battle, but their hearts were already filled with fear, and their limbs felt weak.
If this situation continued, her army was undoubtedly destined for defeat.
But if Feng Yexuan were to leave Longteng Country and completely withdraw from the conflict, then their chances of victory would greatly improve.
After a moment of contemplation, Long Tianliu indeed felt that this was a good thing!
An excellent plan.
However, she was already extremely wary of Yu Linglong.
"What do you really want?"
"As I have said, I only wish to return to the Prince’s side sooner."
Yu Linglong’s smile was ever present, harmlessly cheerful.
Yet those eyes, a tad too sharp, made it impossible to let one’s guard down.
After pondering for a while, she finally said, "Well then, Your Majesty, in truth, I do have a request, but, I am unsure whether you are willing to assist."
"Speak first, let’s hear it," Long Tianliu naturally would not readily agree.
A ruler must not make a promise in jest; once given, it cannot be taken back.
A promise is not something to be given out lightly.
Yu Linglong did not mind and calmly expressed her heart’s desire, "I want Chu Qianli’s life."
Long Tianliu fell silent.
Yu Linglong continued, "I know that Chu Qianli is the daughter of Long Xiyue, and now, probably everyone is aware of it."
"Your Majesty, I’m also concerned that after you capture her, owing to her identity, you might find it difficult to have her executed."
"It’s good that you are aware," Long Tianliu hummed.
If Chu Qianli was indeed Long Xiyue’s daughter, even if she captured Chu Qianli, she could not openly have her killed.
Doing so would undoubtedly lead to rumours and suspicions among the people of the nation.
Even life imprisonment would be preferable, but the people must know that she, as the Empress, was not a demon who would kill her own kin.
To be a ruler, one must win the hearts of the people.
"Therefore, I would hope that Your Majesty could directly behead Chu Qianli on the battlefield."
Yu Linglong watched as her complexion changed slightly and smiled, "Your Majesty, on the battlefield, the blade is blind. If Chu Qianli dies in battle, not even the truth of who killed her will be revealed."
"If you kill her in the battle, you will be at peace in the days to come."
Seeing Long Tianliu remaining silent, Yu Linglong added, "Your Majesty might not be aware, but Chu Qianli is cunning and full of schemes. As long as she lives, she can strike back at any moment!"
"Killing her eliminates my unease and rids you of a major concern. Your Majesty, why hesitate?"
Long Tianliu was still silent.
On the battlefield, the blade is blind...
After an indefinable period, Long Tianliu finally gave Drago Road a profound look and said, "Fine, I will follow your advice."
She waved her hand, and her voice became considerably gentler, "Chang Ming, order someone to prepare the palace room right away. Escort Miss Yu and this gentleman to rest. I will now have someone draft a royal decree to send to the Fusang King."
A flicker of something flashed in Chang Ming’s eyes, and his expression was complex.
But he quickly responded and bowed respectfully, saying, "Yes!"
Afterward, he approached Yu Linglong and, with utmost respect, said, "Miss, let me take you to rest first. Should there be any news from the Fusang King, I will inform you immediately."
"Then I must respectfully comply."
Yu Linglong followed Chang Ming out of the great hall.
Chang Ming did not return until a while later, his voice low as he said, "Your Majesty, I’ve arranged for their rest, but... Your Majesty, why not just kill them outright?"
The message was delivered; this girl named Yu Linglong no longer had any value for use.
His Majesty wanted to kill Chu Qianli, keeping Yu Linglong in this world could lead to the spreading of the matter and tarnishing His Majesty’s reputation.
"We cannot rush this matter; the master swordsman by her side wields his sword divinely. To engage him head-on would cost Us many of our skilled fighters," he said.
"Your Majesty means..." Chang Ming looked at her and finally understood.
He said in a low voice, "This subordinate understands your command!"
If a direct confrontation was not possible, then they would have to outsmart them.
While they were inside the palace, opportunities to act would surely arise.
However, it wasn’t long before Long Tianliu received news: Yu Linglong and that young master had left.
In just the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace, impossible to find.
Not only was the man’s martial arts formidable, his Qinggong was also incredibly refined!
Long Tianliu gnashed his teeth in anger; Yu Linglong truly had deep schemes and foresight!
Nevertheless, her intention was only to use her hand in eliminating Chu Qianli!
But Chu Qianli was someone Long Tianliu had already decided must be removed.
Now, the most important thing was to make Feng Yexuan leave Longteng Country at once.
It was only by sending this "War God" away that their Dragon City would stand a chance of survival!
...
That very night, Long Ziyue did receive the message sent by Wei Qiong.
"Long Tianliu is planning to join forces with the Fusang King to help the Youyi Clan attack Yitie City?"
Chu Qianli looked at Long Ziyue, and couldn’t help but glance at Feng Yexuan sitting beside her.
Although Feng Yexuan still wore a mask, those eyes revealed a hint of solemnity.
"Ziyue, is this message true or false?"
"It was sent by people arranged by General Wei in the palace. They also said that a man and a woman arrived in the palace today."
"A man and a woman?"
"They said they’re people from Beiming Country."
"It must be Yu Linglong." Chu Qianli turned her head to look at Feng Yexuan, her eyes also reflecting solemnity.
"Yu Linglong knows you too well. Jinrui might deceive the common soldiers, but he definitely can’t fool her."
What’s more, having a rare opportunity to campaign with Feng Yexuan, how could Yu Linglong give up any chance to get close to him?
If one’s desire to get close is strong enough, and they probe more often, they will eventually discover that Feng Yexuan is not in the military camp at all.
"It must be Yu Linglong who told Long Tianliu you were with my army. Long Tianliu, wanting to drive you away, took an unexpected move to attack Yitie City."
This message was certainly deliberately spread by Long Tianliu to them.
Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, as long as Feng Yexuan doesn’t return to Yitie City, the Fusang King would unquestionably send troops, and even Long Tianliu would dispatch at least one army to besiege the city.
By then, surrounded on all sides, Jinrui with no combat experience would not be able to hold out!
Seeing their expressions, Long Ziyue also felt a heaviness settle over him.
"So you’re saying, no matter how the message was obtained, it’s indeed true?"
"It’s definitely true; she’s just warning us in advance, so that Yexuan can leave early, and in doing so, the pressure on her Royal Army could also be reduced ahead of time."
They were now thoroughly trapped in a dead end.
No matter what, Feng Yexuan had to rush back.
As the War God Prince of Beiming, he couldn’t disregard his brothers, nor could he gamble with the lives of all the citizens of Yitie City.
This time, he had no choice but to leave!
