Chapter 263 Emperor's Heart

Huainan.

Stay out of Dragon City.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, the front line formation was broken up by Dayu."

"What!"

Lu Kan's expression suddenly changed, and he looked slightly angry: "Dayu's cavalry is at the rear, why did the front line formation break up?"

"Who is in command of the former army?"

"Your Majesty... General Zhao died in battle..."

"That army is simply a group of madmen who are not afraid of death. They would rather trade one life for another to tear through our defense line."

"Asshole!"

Lu Kan suddenly drew out the long sword from his waist and shouted angrily: "What do you mean by these words? Is it possible that all my sons in Huainan are afraid of death?"

"Everyone will obey the order."

"exist!"

"Report..."

Lu Kan's military order had not yet been issued, but he saw another flying horse coming from behind. He gasped and shouted: "Your Majesty, the rear army is defeated, and the white-robed army comes in."

"Report, Your Majesty, the enemy force on the left is strong and the soldiers cannot resist it."

"Report——"

As battle reports came in one after another, Lu Kan finally couldn't sit still and glanced towards the tower, a bit unwilling, a bit tragic, and more of a complicated sadness.

"truce!"

"truce!"

Waves of sound swept across, and the front army moved out of the way. The white-robed army not far away also stopped their offensive, and the armies on both wings also stopped.

Only the soldiers of the beggar army were red-eyed and charged desperately at all costs.

"This king is defeated."

"I wonder which general is arranging his troops in the city. Can I see him?"

After hearing the news, Ning Fan slowly took a few steps forward and calmly stared at the burly figure below. Compared with the one in the south, he was a little less energetic and a little more desolate.

"It turns out to be Xuan...His Royal Highness King Yong!"

Lu Kan smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at the remaining 30,000 to 20,000 remnants of the army, dropped the weapon in his hand, clapped his horse and stepped forward, looking up at the white-clothed Shengxue figure above.

"Prince Huai, long time no see!"

Ning Fan stepped forward to say hello expressionlessly, looking at the lonely hero calmly, but there was no wave in his eyes.

"Hahaha!"

Lu Kan laughed wildly, his hair on his forehead became a little messy, covering his face, he looked at Ning Fan and shouted: "Today, I am defeated."

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. There is nothing to say."

"Can you leave a way for these brothers under my command to survive?"

"Can!"

Ning Fan was like a wooden man without emotions, and said calmly: "The one who surrenders will be spared death, you... will die."

"This king will show his dignity."

"However, I want to know how the battle at Xuanjian Pass is going?"

"Can you hold it?"

Lu Kan stared at Ning Fan closely, feeling extremely uneasy. Maybe even he himself didn't know what kind of result he wanted.

"Thanks to the prince."

Ning Fan gave an ambiguous answer, but King Huai dismounted lonely and turned to look at Huainan Erlang behind him. His eyes were a little dazed, a little regretful, and more of still unwilling.

"Soldiers!"

"Disarm!"

As soon as Lu Kan finished speaking, several figures stepped forward with expressions of disbelief on their faces: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are still capable of fighting, we haven't lost yet!"

"Please, Your Majesty, take back your life!"

"My lord, my brothers are willing to fight to the death with my lord!"

"Yes, we'll cover you and fight your way out, or we'll have to start all over again."

"Your Majesty, we can die, but you can't!"

One after another, figures knelt down on one knee, followed closely by tens of thousands of people behind them who knelt down to beg for orders. Jia Xu on the tower had a gloomy look in his eyes and turned his head to give an order to a general.

Prince Huai looked at the kneeling figures in front of him, tears falling unconsciously, but he looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Hahaha, I, Lu Kan, have been in power for decades, but unexpectedly, I ended up being a king who is not a king, and a minister who is not a minister."

"Lu Kan, I have failed His Majesty Emperor Yu, and I have failed all the kings."

"I am willing to die now, and when I am under the Nine Springs, I will apologize to the late emperor."

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his sword and killed himself. He fell straight to the ground with his back to Julong City.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!!"

Several confidants swarmed up. On top of the city tower, Jia Xu suddenly looked at Ning Fan and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness..."

"kill!"

Before Jia Xu could speak, Ning Fan gave the order directly. He had already given them a chance, but unfortunately, they failed to grasp it.

"Charge the entire army!"

Ran Min roared, and the whole army prepared to charge again. Several of Huai Wang's cronies burst into tears and stood by his body blankly, allowing the army next to them to kill him without any action.

A great war will eventually come to an end, leaving behind corpses all over the field and a sorrowful cold wind...

City of King Yu.

royal palace.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight, with a few sparse lone stars looking at each other in the distance. In the words of the poem, "the moon is sparse and the stars are sparse, and the magpies are flying south."

Unfortunately, there is no black magpie...

"Your Majesty, it's getting cold, please put on some clothes!"

Wei Ying respectfully presented a big robe and put it on Emperor Yu. The two stood in front of the palace, looking at the lights in the distance.

"Frontline, is there any news?"

"Your Majesty, there is no news yet."

Emperor Yu fell into silence again, looking up at the moon in the sky. For some reason, his body did not feel cold, but his heart felt a little cooler.

"what are you worried about?"

A soft voice came from behind. Wei Ying stepped back and guarded him from a distance. Concubine Xian's eyes also followed Emperor Yu's gaze. The brightly lit street could vaguely see the bustling crowd. They were standing there. The highest point of this imperial city overlooks all living beings below.

Tonight seems different from usual, because tonight is New Year's Eve.

"I was thinking that during the Chinese New Year, my son is not waiting by my side, and there is no one to talk to me."

"Chen'er hasn't been back for several years. It's hard to come back this year..."

Emperor Yu did not continue speaking, but turned his head to look at Concubine Xian, and said softly: "The second son has also gone to Huainan. Counting the time, it is almost time for the news to come."

"I don't know why, but I always have a hard time calming down..."

"Today, Ning Chen went to Xuanjian Pass alone, and I didn't stop him!"

"This child has been stubborn since he was a child. He has never heard my words. Others look at me with awe, fear, and respect, but he... doesn't seem to be afraid of me."

Concubine Xian looked calm and said softly: "Because in the eyes of others, you are a superior king, but in Chen'er's eyes, you are his father."

"I don't know what you are planning in the Western Region, and I can't control your other sons!"

"But I don't want my son and my godson to lose their lives in vain."

"No matter what the reason is, it doesn't matter whether it's the world or the common people!"

Emperor Yu's face showed a bit of confusion, and he seemed to be blaming himself, but he never said a word...
