The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 722: Please die with Daliang [Subscribe*Monthly Tickets]

"Yes!" Mo Ya knew very well that Yan Yan had always been very petty.

If Wei State had targeted Yan Yan himself, perhaps Yan Yan would have taken revenge later, but unfortunately, Wei State touched Yan Yan's most beloved little cotton-padded jacket, so there would be no such thing as revenge later.

The navy kept the bodies and identification documents of the sacrificial group to make it easier for Yan Yan to cause trouble for the Wei State.

As soon as the Black Crow arrived, Yan Yan ordered his men to move the corpses onto the Suzaku and fly directly to Daliang.

"Oh my, the Wei State is so brave!" The Qin army camp outside the Daliang city.

Wang Ben was really happy.

The most troublesome navy problem has been solved, but there are still some hidden dangers.

But Emperor Xuanwu has arrived, but the State of Wei is unaware of this and has already sent a group of worshippers to kidnap Princess Wannian.

Wang Ben could already imagine the consequences. Regardless of whether the Wei tribute group was successful or not, the Wei State was in huge trouble.

The Vermillion Bird landed directly in the Qin army camp, outside the central army tent.

"?" Wang Ben's joy didn't last long before he saw Suzaku descending from the sky and landing in front of his own central army tent.

The patrolling soldiers carefully surrounded Zhuque, but they also knew that since he dared to land in their camp so brazenly, he was obviously a friend rather than an enemy, so they showed no intention to kill him.

"Where is Wang Ben?" Yan Yan walked down from Xuanwu, throwing down heads one by one.

Wang Ben's scalp tingled when he heard Yan Yan's voice, and when he saw the heads, his scalp instantly went numb.

“Could it be that someone so clever as to impersonate the Wei Kingdom’s tribute group and plot against the Princess Wannian and was caught red-handed by Emperor Xuanwu?” Wang Ben’s mind raced. Such clever people were not uncommon.

For a time, Wang Ben even thought of his own suicide note and epitaph.

"The coffin must be made of top-quality dark wood. Let my brother take care of my son. It's a pity that I haven't even seen or tasted the beauties the king gave me as a reward..."

Wang Ben had a sad face, but when he saw the faces of the heads clearly, he instantly became happy. They were tributes from the State of Wei, not his own people!

I'm alive!
In just a moment, Wang Ben's mood took a turn for the worse.

"I am Wang Ben, the humble general, and I am here to pay my respects to the Great Emperor Xuanwu!" Wang Ben hurried forward and saluted.

The soldiers around were also shocked. Fortunately, they did not draw their weapons, otherwise the cook camp would have been waving at them.

Then they all looked at Yan Yan with reverence as he walked down from the Suzaku.

"Greetings to the Great Emperor Xuanwu!"

Yan Yan nodded slightly and raised his hand to signal the soldiers not to be polite.

"As a general on the front line, Wang Ben, you have done a great job!" Yan Yan treated the Qin soldiers gently, but suddenly looked at Wang Ben coldly.

"I... plead guilty!" Wang Ben was a little confused. He had done nothing wrong, but he decided to admit his mistake first.

"As a general on the front line, you allowed so many people to escape from Daliang and attempted to assassinate Princess Wannian. Do you think you are guilty?" Yan Yan explained Wang Ben's mistake.

"!" Wang Ben's mouth twitched. Okay, this was really his fault, but those were Wei's tributes, top masters. Could he stop them?

"I plead guilty!" Wang Ben knew that Yan Yan was just looking for trouble on purpose, but he didn't really want to punish him, so he admitted his mistake again.

"Okay, let's go into the tent first!" Yan Yan had no intention of punishing Wang Ben.

Wang Ben hurriedly reached out and drew open the curtain, inviting Yan Yan into the central military tent.

"Flooding Daliang is a good idea. How long has it been flooding?" Yan Yan walked into the Qin army's central tent and asked.

"It's been five days, but the walls of Daliang are high and thick, and it will take at least two months for the river to wash away the walls!" Wang Ben explained hurriedly. "Five days?" Yan Yan nodded.

"Go on with your thing, I'll go take a look!" Yan Yan only came to meet Wang Ben and inform him of his presence to avoid any misunderstanding.

Wang Ben breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to take the credit for destroying the country. He was really afraid that Yan Yan would come and do something weird and seize the command of the army.

If Yan Yan really wants to seize power, it seems that he can't stop him.

What’s even more terrifying is that if Yan Yan really wants to seize power, the soldiers under his command will seem to listen to Yan Yan and directly sideline him!
Yan Yan took Mo Ya away from the Qin army camp and came to the city of Daliang, watching the river water constantly washing the city walls of Daliang.

Although Daliang also used various methods to prevent the river water from flooding into the city, many places were still soaked by the river water.

Yan Yan came directly to the city wall washed by the river water, pinched the soil of the city wall soaked by the river water, and ignored the soldiers on the city wall at all. There was a blind spot for shooting under the city wall, and the Wei soldiers on the city wall were too lazy to attack the two men. It was meaningless.

After pinching the eroded city wall and soil, Yan Yan took Mo Ya to several other places before finally returning to the Qin army camp.

Wang Ben also kept sending people to follow Yan Yan, but he didn't quite understand what Yan Yan was going to do.

"The Emperor seems to be just checking the extent of infiltration of the city wall!" The following general reported Yan Yan's whereabouts.

Wang Ben was also somewhat puzzled as to what Yan Yan was trying to do. He sent people to check and report on the extent of the infiltration of the city wall every day.

But it will still take some time before it can be broken through by the river water.

In front of the reviewing platform, Yan Yan continued to lie on the couch, basking in the sun under the canopy, just like when he first destroyed Zhao.

"Is it like this again?" Wang Ben was at a loss. The emperor's behavior was always so confusing.

"Have the heads of those assassins been sent into the city?" Yan Yan asked Wang Ben who was passing by.

"Your Majesty, I have ordered someone to hand it over to the King of Wei." Wang Ben nodded.

"Three days!" Yan Yan said lightly.

"Three days? What three days?" Wang Ben was puzzled.

Yan Yan didn't explain and continued to lie down in the sun.

In Daliang, the King of Wei and the civil and military officials of Wei were all panicked when they saw the heads sent by the Qin army as offerings.

The Qin army told them, and Emperor Xuanwu came in person and cut off the heads of these people.

But they didn't even get to see Yan Yan and could only remain in fear.

It is widely acknowledged that Emperor Xuanwu is narrow-minded. They don't think that it is as simple as Yan Yan just asking people to send these offered heads.

The current tranquility is just the calm before the storm.

Three days later, Wang Ben reported for work as usual. When he passed by the reviewing platform, he did not see Yan Yan, who usually lay there basking in the sun.

"Where is the emperor?" Wang Ben hurriedly pulled a soldier over and asked.

"I don't know. The emperor didn't come today." The guards at the reviewing platform shook their heads. They were also wondering why they didn't see Yan Yan today.

"The evidence is irrefutable that the Wei Kingdom is plotting to murder the Princess of Bingzhou. This emperor has come in person to invite Daliang to die!"

However, just when Wang Ben and others were still confused, a deafening sound came from the riverside under the city of Daliang.

"Oh no, hurry to the river bank (tower)!"

Wang Ben, King Wei and others all looked very unhappy and immediately sent people to the place where the sound came from.
