There are too many people to take them all away; the target would be too large.
Thus, only a few were left alive.
Then, following the clues, they destroyed so forces, and eventually found the still-living Twelfth Prince.
The Twelfth Prince, having been a useless person since childhood, was not only dismissed by Yan Hengyin, but also by Tang Zan and many officials who did not take him seriously.
After Yan Hengyin ascended to the throne, the Twelfth Prince disappeared. Yan Hengyin either out of old affection or simply unable to find him, declared that the Twelfth Prince was dead.
But unexpectedly, at this mont, the Twelfth Prince appeared once again.
Tang Zan saw the person before him, forrly a fat and useless man, who now seed to have slimd down, perhaps due to recent hardships.
Tang Zan said indifferently, "Twelfth, what use is there in killing ? No matter what, the person on the throne will never be you."
Yan Jinyi sneered, "I don’t care who is Emperor, but it definitely cannot be anyone from the Tang Family."
"Our Dayan has lasted hundreds of years and cannot fall into the hands of you treacherous ministers and vile traitors."
Tang Zan said indifferently, "You consider a vile traitor, yet you don’t realize that a few generations back, the founding Emperor of your Dayan was also a vile traitor, wasn’t he?"
After saying this, Tang Zan couldn’t be bothered to waste more words, and charged at Yan Jinyi with his n.
Yan Jinyi, having been pampered since childhood, did know so martial arts, but it was only enough for self-defense.
To face Tang Zan head-on was absolutely impossible.
Truth be told, if not for Yan Huan Yu persuading him, he would rather stay in the shadows, living the life of a leisurely prince all his years.
At this mont, seeing the imposing Tang Zan, along with the large blades gleaming as they swung towards him, he felt a tinge of regret.
What does it matter to him who becos Emperor? It wasn’t going to be him anyway.
Tang Zan placed his knife against Yan Jinyi’s neck, his eyes filled with killing intent. Upon eting such a gaze, Yan Jinyi shivered subconsciously.
"How many of your n are left?"
Yan Jinyi wouldn’t say; he shook his head, "No... none."
After Yan Jinyi said this, he felt a sharp pain on his neck, and Tang Zan sneered.
"Yan Jinyi, have you forgotten that you still have enmity with the Tang Family? Back then, when you frad the Tang Family resulting in their exile, weren’t you also the mastermind?"
"You enjoyed your life with the embezzled silver coin, while soldiers at the border couldn’t even afford a al."
Yan Jinyi shook his head repeatedly, "No, I didn’t, I only did it because Yan Hengyin instigated , that’s why I made such a mistake."
Tang Zan smiled and said, "If one day, you co forward and confess that you ruined the Tang family, which has been loyal and righteous for generations, I can still give you a chance to find a way out."
Yan Jinyi’s eyes lit up. Didn’t this an that, at least before confessing, he wouldn’t die?
And Tang Zan would let him go, then he could once again rise from the ashes?
Yan Jinyi was so excited he stamred, "Re... really?"
Tang Zan nodded with a smile, "A gentleman’s word is his bond."
Yan Jinyi just breathed a sigh of relief when he felt another sharp pain in his neck, as Tang Zan gripped the dagger tighter.
"Now, tell where Yan Huan Yu is, and I can rember your rit, giving you another chance to survive."
Hearing this, Yan Jinyi was sowhat flustered.
"I don’t know where Yan Huan Yu is, I have no connection with him."
Pei Shu’er clearly saw that he was lying, but didn’t expose him.
Given Yan Huan Yu’s cautious nature, he wouldn’t slip up, especially with such weak-minded allies.
Pei Shu’er said indifferently, "Then the last question, where are your n?"
Yan Jinyi wanted to lie again, but then felt dizzy, and his pupils dilated. Finally, he uttered a few locations.
Then, Tang Zan and Pei Shu’er’s people, taking this living person with them, headed to the places Yan Jinyi ntioned.
First appeared Yan Jinyi, who at this mont was already under the influence of the Puppet Gu, summoning his subordinates who were all killed.
When Yan Jinyi regained consciousness, he saw his trusted aides lying on the ground, and at this mont, he was furious.
When he saw the remaining survivors looking at him with hatred, Yan Jinyi felt another pang of pain in his heart.
"Why are you looking at like that?"
The response he got was a bloody spit.
"We’ve known for a long ti you’re not a good person, but didn’t expect you to be this despicable. We followed you for a full ten years, only to end up like this. Had we known, we’d rather go farm in the mountains than serve a master like you."
Tang Zan looked at the few people in front of him, "If you are willing to surrender to , I can also take you in."
These people, now hating their forr master, naturally did not want to serve him any longer and imdiately surrendered to Tang Zan without hesitation.
To show their loyalty, they even ratted out many of their forr associates.
But these people, unlike Yan Jinyi, when they found others, they would persuade them to join Tang Zan, and only if they failed would they give up.
Then Tang Zan would raise his knife again.
By this ti, who was still unaware? Seeing their old master’s sorry state, with such a chance to defect, naturally, no one wanted to follow Yan Jinyi any longer.
In the dense forest were mostly elites, even with only two to three hundred people, it was still a considerable force.
However, within the forest, besides Tang Zan’s n killing, there were also inter-faction fights.
The forest was filled with the sll of blood, naturally attracting a group of fierce beasts.
Soon, packs of wolves appeared.
This wolf pack was large, about two to three hundred strong, and given it was nightti, human vision was obstructed, but the wolves’ vision was not affected.
Unbeknownst to them, so people had already been bitten by the wolves.
Tang Zan had already familiarized himself with the terrain.
"Everyone, light up your torches. Two hundred ters ahead is a cave. Injured people should move to the center and be supported as we advance. The strong and healthy will bring up the rear."
They didn’t know where the torches ca from, but in the darkness, soone handed them torches.
Everyone marveled at how well-prepared the Emperor and Empress were.
Actually, there were torches, but most were lost during the escape.
The ones now were prepped in advance by Pei Shu’er and put into the space.
With the torches lit, the wolves dared not approach.
Occasionally, two or three brave ones would be swiftly slain.
However, seeing so many people, coupled with the scent of blood, the wolves were naturally reluctant to leave.
Tang Zan didn’t drive them away. Once everyone retreated into the cave, he had them ready their bows and arrows, so holding torches, and approached the wolves.
"Stop! Draw your bows, and shoot!"
The new subordinates fought alongside Tang Zan for the first ti.
But his commands were concise, and with a commanding presence, everyone instinctively followed.
