Chapter 755: Determination to Fight to the Death
Yue Shi turned around upon hearing the voice, looked at Emperor Yan at a loss, then at Xiao Rongyan, his fists clenched tightly.
“It’s useless! The journey is long. I’m afraid that before Yue Shi reaches Shuoyang… I will not be able to hold on any longer!” Although Murong Yu did not want to die, and although he still wanted to see the day when the world would be unified and the country would be peaceful and prosperous, he knew his body well.
I have injured my heart and lungs this time and I’m afraid I won’t survive. Why should I make Yue Shi run back and forth and make Dr. Hong make a wasted trip?
“What depressing words are you saying!” Xiao Rongyan’s throat rolled, and he held Murong Yu’s hand tightly, “Aniang is blessing us in heaven, brother will be fine! And now Dayan is at a critical juncture, for Dayan’s sake, brother must not get into trouble!”
Murong Yu looked at his brother with a solemn expression and smiled softly, “Dayan has A Yan here… Brother is relieved.”
“But it is because of my brother that I can go to another country without any worries!” Xiao Rongyan tightly grasped Murong Yu’s hand. The emotions of his loved ones passing away one by one have accumulated in his heart for many years and he has been unable to relieve them. “Brother, everything will be fine!”
“Ayan, I’m very happy that I can go to see my mother…” Murong Yu had a very faint smile on his lips, “To be able to live so many more years is a gift from God to me, I don’t complain! It’s just that I didn’t get to see you marry the Princess Zhenguo, I’m afraid I won’t be able to explain to my mother after I die! Ayan… life is short, don’t miss it!”
Xiao Rongyan gritted his teeth, held back the sobs in his throat, and looked up at Murong Yu with forced composure: “The medicine given by Doctor Hong has been temporarily stopped. Use hemostatics first. It may be a little uncomfortable. Please bear with it, brother! The eldest prince is mediocre and cannot handle the heavy responsibility. If brother is not here, Kuntian City will surely be in chaos, and the queen, sister-in-law and the eldest prince will not be able to calm it down! We, the whole country of Dayan, have gone through so much difficulty to get to this point today. If brother stops here, he will have to watch Kuntian City in chaos and Dayan fall apart again! We are sorry for our mother… We are sorry for our ancestors’ foundation, and we are even more sorry for the people of Dayan who have suffered with us!”
Murong Yu looked at Xiao Rongyan, who suppressed all his pain in his heart with a serious expression, as if he was only considering the overall situation. He suddenly felt that his younger brother was still the child when he was young, who pretended to be calm in everything and didn’t want him to worry.
Murong Yu’s eyes were slightly red, and he nodded: “Okay, then brother will hold on for a while longer, and go to show filial piety to A Niang later. We must first see our A Yan get married to the woman he loves.”
The tone is like coaxing a child.
But how could Murong Yu not know that his own body… could not hold on for much longer.
Having been bedridden for so many years and living a life worse than death, Murong Yu was never afraid of death. However, he was afraid that his death would make his wife and brother sad. He was even more afraid that… if he died, his wife, who had always been timid and weak, would die with him.
In this world, it is always easier to die than to live.
“Well, I’ll find a way to defend Long’an City!” Xiao Rongyan made up his mind, “Let Uncle Feng and Yue Shi escort my brother to Shuoyang. Doctor Hong will definitely have a way!”
Murong Yu shook his head: “I can’t leave yet. If I leave… the army will lose its morale! If the army loses its morale, Long’an City will be undefendable. If we can’t defend Long’an City, if the Xiliang army crosses Liyi and Tianqu River again, our Great Yan capital will be in danger!”
“Brother, rest assured. I am here… I will never let Long’an City be lost.” Xiao Rongyan made up his mind and turned to call Feng Yao, “Uncle Feng!”
Feng Yao responded by walking in with small steps: “Young Master!”
“Thank you Uncle Feng and Yue Shi for your hard work. Please take my brother and travel light immediately. Yue Shi will lead people to Bai Mansion in Shuoyang to borrow Doctor Hong, and then return to reunite with my brother!” Xiao Rongyan gave the order.
This would be faster than asking Yue Shi to go and invite Doctor Hong and then bring Doctor Hong to Long’an City.
“yes!”
After Feng Yaoyue picked up everything and responded, Feng Yao got up first to clean up.
“Uncle Jiu, I will escort father to the State of Jin!” Murong Li stepped forward to ask for permission.
“You stay!” Xiao Rongyan looked at Murong Li calmly, “The news that your father went to Jin State must not be leaked. You escort your father back to the capital Jinling and say that His Majesty is going back to the capital to recuperate. The Long’an battlefield… Murong Yan, the Ninth Prince of Dayan, will take over.”
If something happens to my brother this time, Dayan cannot be without a leader, and among these many nephews… only little A Li can take on the responsibility!
Murong Li was already very smart, so how could he not understand Xiao Rongyan’s intention?
Uncle Jiu asked him to return to Nanjing simply because he was worried that his father would not be able to hold on any longer, so he asked him to take over Nanjing and ascend the throne first to stabilize the situation.
But Murong Li didn’t want to go to this point. He didn’t want the throne. He just wanted his father, brother and ninth uncle to be well.
“Little A’li, you are not a child anymore. You must learn to share the burden for your father! Uncle Jiu will help you!” Xiao Rongyan raised his hand and clasped Murong Li’s shoulders, and the heavy burden seemed to be pressed on Murong Li’s shoulders.
“Ali is still young and cannot bear the burden of Dayan!” Murong Yu frowned, “I’m afraid you will have to carry this burden.”
“Brother has three sons. I can’t bear this burden no matter what! I can assist… but I can’t take over!” Xiao Rongyan turned his head and looked at Murong Yu, “Besides, as long as Doctor Hong treats him, brother has plenty of time to personally train Ah Li. Why worry that Ah Li can’t handle the heavy responsibility?”
Murong Yu frowned, looking at Xiao Rongyan’s deep and profound gaze…
Murong Yu has always known that Murong Yan is a more suitable person to be an emperor than him. His ambition and aspirations… and ability make him much more suitable to be an emperor than him. He even knows that his brother wants to become a king who can unify the world. If it were someone else, they would have taken advantage of the situation without waiting for him to speak as soon as they learned that he would not live long. However, Murong Yan was unwilling to go any further because of family ties.
Knowing that it was useless to say more, Murong Yu simply let his brother make arrangements.
That afternoon, the ninth prince of Yan, Murong Yan, personally led his troops to fight against Xiliang. Emperor Murong Yu of Yan was escorted back to the capital by Prince Murong Li to treat his injuries, but in reality he was escorted to Shuoyang by old eunuch Feng Yao and secret guards. Yue Shi set out first and rode a fast horse to Shuoyang to pick up Doctor Hong.
On July 27, the 17th year of Xuanjia, the 9th Prince of Dayan, Murong Yan, defended Long’an City to the death, consuming the food and fodder of the soldiers and horses of Xiliang. He sent a small team of soldiers to bypass the main road for transporting food to Xiliang and burned the food and fodder of Xiliang. The next day, the fierce general of Xiliang, Ge Zhen’an, was determined to attack the city at all costs and cursed at the people under the city. He was beheaded by the 9th Prince of Dayan, Murong Yan, who came to fight, and Xiliang was forced to retreat to Longhutai.
On July 28, the 17th year of Xuanjia, a plague broke out in Daliang. The symptoms of the victims were the same as those in Huayang City. The crown prince of Jin sent an envoy to Daliang, saying that if Daliang would submit to him, he would give him a prescription for the plague. The emperor of Daliang killed the envoy of Jin to show his determination to fight to the death.
