Chapter 1278 Comfort
Wei Zhong smiled slightly, as if he was trying to sow discord between Queen Mother Yan and Prince Ninth of Yan. He said, “I think Prince Ninth of Yan must have received news before that Queen Mother Yan is in Yandu…but she frequently interacts with people from Xiliang.”
“If you don’t know, you might think that Eunuch Wei’s words are intended to sow discord between my ninth uncle and my mother.” Murong Ping couldn’t help but speak, but his attitude towards Wei Zhong was still gentle.
Xie Xun glanced at the masked Xiao Rongyan and said slowly, “The Emperor of Great Zhou… and the soldiers of Great Zhou are all people who value righteousness, otherwise the Bai family army would not risk their lives to open the city gate for our Yan army. The Emperor of Great Zhou would not have deployed troops on the border of Yan State, but did not attack Yan State directly. He sent Eunuch Wei to ask for an explanation instead of sending envoys. I think he didn’t want the two countries to become too awkward. The Emperor of Great Zhou is just asking for justice for the Great Zhou army and the fifth son of the Bai family.”
“Thank you, General, for what you said. It makes me feel comfortable…” Wei Zhong said with a smile.
“Before, General Chu came forward and admitted that he had betrayed the Great Zhou army. The Ninth Prince was furious and had General Chu executed! As for what Eunuch Wei said… it was the Queen Mother of Yan who betrayed the Great Zhou to Xiliang and asked General Cui Shanzhong to send the captured brothers and sisters of the Great Zhou Empress to Yan.” Xie Xun nodded, then turned to look at Xiao Rongyan. Seeing that Xiao Rongyan’s fingers were tapping on the table from time to time and did not intend to stop him, he continued, “I dare not say that this is nonsense, but I still hope that the Great Zhou can give us, the Ninth Prince, some time to verify it.”
“Of course…” Xie Xun smiled, imitating Wei Zhong’s smile, “If Eunuch Wei trusts our Yan State, can you hand over General Cui Shanzhong’s confidant to our Yan State? After our Yan State interrogates him in detail, the Ninth Prince will definitely give the Great Zhou a satisfactory explanation!”
“Is what General Xie meant the same as what the Ninth Prince meant?” Wei Zhong asked with a smile.
Xiao Rongyan nodded: “General Xie’s meaning is my own. Please ask Eunuch Wei to convey this to the Emperor of Great Zhou. I will definitely give an explanation to the Emperor of Great Zhou. If the Emperor of Great Zhou is worried… the Zhou army transferred to the border of Yan State does not need to withdraw for the time being.”
“Ninth Prince!” The general of Dayan stood up and looked at Xiao Rongyan, his voice excited, “Ninth Prince and his Great Zhou…”
Before the general finished speaking, Xiao Rongyan raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and then said to Wei Zhong: “As for Yunjing, although it was taken by both countries this time, but… if it weren’t for the fifth son of the Bai family and the Bai family army who didn’t care about the previous grudge of Yan State betraying the Great Zhou and opened the city gate for Yan State, Yan State would not have entered the city so smoothly, and would have lost more soldiers and would not have entered the Yunjing Palace first. This favor… we in Yan State accept it, and Yunjing will belong to the Great Zhou.”
“Your Highness, you can’t do that! Our brothers fought hard to get Yunjing back! How can we just give up like that?” The Yan general was very emotional. “Just handing Yunjing over to the Great Zhou like this… How can we be worthy of the Yan army soldiers who died! How can we be worthy of His Majesty and the Queen Mother who are far away in Yandu!”
“Uncle Jiu is talking, there is no room for you to interrupt!” Murong Ping clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand and stood firmly beside Xiao Rongyan. “Before coming here, the Queen Mother and His Majesty entrusted all matters related to the destruction of Xiliang to Uncle Jiu. Uncle Jiu’s words… are the words of the Queen Mother and His Majesty! Why… are you still dissatisfied?”
Seeing this, Wei Zhong smiled and said, “I will definitely deliver your message, Ninth Prince. Please give us a definite answer and set a date… When can you give us an explanation?”
“You are getting more aggressive!” A general of Yan State who had been sitting aside and silent for a long time finally couldn’t help but speak, looking at Wei Zhong with murderous eyes.
Wei Zhong, however, seemed to be unaware of it. He stood calmly in the center of the main hall and allowed them to glare at him.
“Everything in Xiliang has been settled. I will also set off to return to Yandu. Of course… I have to hand over the witnesses brought by Eunuch Wei to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. After verifying the matter, I will report to the Great Zhou. The deadline… including the time it takes to get back to Yandu by express horse and the time it takes to get to the capital of the Great Zhou, how about one and a half months?”
Wei Zhong pretended to calculate the time carefully, and said with a very satisfied look, “Your Majesty, what you said is very true. Then… let’s start from today. I will go back and report to your majesty, and then I will take my leave.”
After saying this, Wei Zhong bowed and left the main hall.
As soon as Wei Zhong left, the main hall was in an uproar.
“Ninth Prince, our Yan State is no longer the Yan State that was dependent on Jin State. Why do we have to be so humble to the Great Zhou?”
“Yes! Even if they opened the city gate for us, without them, wouldn’t our Yan army be able to attack Yunjing?”
“That’s right. If we count based on who entered Yunjing first, then our Ninth Prince risked his life to enter the Yunjing Palace to save people. Our Ninth Prince also entered the Yunjing Palace first. The Great Zhou is obviously planning to use General Chu to betray the Great Zhou and want to seize Yunjing from our Yan State. Why didn’t the Ninth Prince even fight for it and hand over Yunjing? I don’t accept it!”
“You don’t accept it?” Xiao Rongyan’s voice was icy cold. “Okay… I’ll let you fight the Bai family army and the Great Zhou army right now. Can you win?”
The general stiffened his neck and said, “If we can’t win, we’ll just fight. It’s better than being such a coward and handing Yunjing over to you!”
“You…” Xie Xun was about to step forward, but Xiao Rongyan raised his hand to stop him.
“Okay, you have guts! You dare to fight against the Great Zhou…” Xiao Rongyan put his elbows on the armrests of the chair and spoke slowly, “The Yan army here is facing the Great Zhou army and the Bai family army. The Great Zhou army stationed on the border of Yan will immediately march to Yandu. Let me ask you… All the main forces of our Yan are here, how should Yandu respond?”
“Let General Xie lead his troops back to provide support! I don’t believe… that every member of their Great Zhou army is as fierce as the Bai family army!” Although the Yan general was not confident in his heart, he was very tough in his words.
“Do you think… Xie Xun can still lead his army back to provide assistance?” Xiao Rongyan looked at the panting and angry general with a cold gaze behind his mask. “When the Great Zhou attacked Daliang, Daliang was almost powerless due to the epidemic. Many cities in Daliang surrendered. Then the Great Zhou absorbed these generals and troops and became even more powerful! Does our Yan State… have so many soldiers?”
The Yan general’s throat rolled over, and he took off his helmet and threw it on the ground: “Even if we don’t have that many troops, it doesn’t mean that we are really weaker than the Great Zhou Army or the Bai Family Army! If we don’t fight and give in, what kind of hero are we!”
