Bai Qi shouted loudly, "Eastern Wei’s rebel king Tan Ting incited a war between two nations, the Eastern Wei army at Shuiyu Pass has retreated. Those who surrender will not be killed, but those who resist stubbornly will die!"
The soldiers spoke in unison, their voices echoing through the heavens and earth, "Eastern Wei’s rebel king Tan Ting incited a war between two nations, the Eastern Wei army at Shuiyu Pass has retreated. Those who surrender will not be killed, but those who resist stubbornly will die!"
Tan Ting was stunned!
Mu Yan was supposed to be at Shuiyu Pass, how could he have returned!
He looked towards the majestic and treacherous Lingshan Mountain, could Mu Yan have crossed such an incredibly steep mountain just to save Zhan Lan!
He truly is a madman!
Dan Huayu dodged the massive hamr thrown by Dugu Yan and turned his horse towards his father.
He scread, his voice tearing from his throat, "Father, Mu Yan has returned!"
"And there’s General Bai Qi!"
Tan Ting had t Bai Qi before; he felt he had been fooled by Mu Yan!
No!
He had been fooled by Tan Dong and the father-son duo Mu Yan!
And Zhan Lan, she was already difficult enough to deal with, but now there’s Mu Yan too!
The heavens want to doom him!
The major plan he had plotted for years, was it really going to get destroyed this way?
On the city wall, Zhan Lan finally stretched her smile; Mu Yan’s words were ant to throw Eastern Wei into complete chaos, and Eastern Wei had already lost their grain supplies.
Now, with the label of treason, who would dare follow Tan Ting!
So of the main generals of Eastern Wei were unsure, "If it wasn’t for our emperor’s decree to withdraw troops, how could Dayu’s emperor have returned!"
"Exactly, our grain supplies have already run dry; should we still fight?"
The ssenger soldier had been dissatisfied with Tan Ting’s attitude, so taking advantage of Tan Ting’s inattentiveness, he discreetly took out the decree and shouted, "This is the decree from the emperor to withdraw troops!"
In a fit of anger, Tan Ting stabbed the ssenger soldier from behind, hysterically shouting, "Everyone kill! Mu Yan is lying; he won’t spare any of you!"
The ssenger soldier lying on the ground spat out blood; next to him was the bright yellow decree.
By now, Tan Ting’s n had all seen clearly; Prince Yong had completely rebelled!
He even dared to kill the emperor’s ssenger soldier!
Most of them were loyal to Prince Yong and dared not disobey him!
Sun Wei’s eyes darkened; who would have thought Mu Yan could bring General Bai Qi for reinforcent!
They were now completely trapped between Dayu’s forces, front and back, with no escape route.
"Fight! Carve a path through blood!" Sun Wei shouted.
With a bang, Sun Wei’s head burst into a flower of blood, as an arrow pierced straight into his brow!
Sun Wei, not closing his eyes in death, fell heavily from his horse.
Mu Yan put down the bow in his hand, coldly watching the battlefield.
So soldiers from Eastern Wei laid down their weapons, but most still stubbornly resisted. After being told Prince Yong had rebelled, they still pledged loyalty unto death; Mu Yan gestured, "Kill!"
The arrows rained down!
More of Prince Yong’s n fell, then Bai Qi led his troops into the enemy’s formation!
The sounds of battle echoed across the heavens, and seeing the situation lost, Tan Ting and his son, under the escort of their confidants, fought their way through the encirclent and fled on horseback!
"Trying to escape?" A cold voice rang out.
Tan Ting and his son saw Mu Yan blocking their path.
Under their lead, their followers pulled back their horse reins.
Tan Ting finally saw Mu Yan, whose face did indeed resemble Tan Dong!
"Nephew, I am your Imperial Uncle!"
Mu Yan sneered, "Bind them!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The Vermilion Bird led people to force Tan Ting off his horse.
Dan Huayu’s palms sweated, looking at Mu Yan, who was almost suffocated under the imperial might, "Cousin, this is a misunderstanding!"
The two knew their ga was lost and began to cling to family ties with Mu Yan.
Mu Yan’s expression remained cold as he looked at the two, "Take them away!"
Dan Huayu’s gaze grew dark; since Mu Yan wouldn’t recognize family, he couldn’t be blad!
Clutching a dagger, he lunged at Mu Yan, but Mu Yan kicked him to the ground.
Tan Ting was shocked, "Huayu!"
With a cold expression, Mu Yan stepped on Dan Huayu’s face, drawing the sword from Vermilion Bird’s hand, and stabbed it through Dan Huayu’s chest.
Blood splattered as Tan Ting scread, "Yu’er!"
Dan Huayu stared wide-eyed in disbelief at his cold and ruthless cousin, who didn’t even blink when killing.
It was that he wasn’t ruthless enough against such a fierce opponent!
Dan Huayu spit a mouthful of blood fiercely.
Mu Yan swiftly extracted the blood-soaked sword, the cold expression returning as he removed Dan Huayu’s foot.
Anyone who dared to harm Lan’er must die!
Tan Ting’s pupils quivered, his whole body numb, his back feeling as if a venomous snake was watching, slithering slowly up his spine, sending chills down his body!
"No! Mu Yan, you can’t kill !" Tan Ting trembled all over.
Mu Yan didn’t even spare him a glance while wiping the blood from the Vermilion Bird’s sword on Dan Huayu’s robe; after wiping, he handed it back to Vermilion Bird, who respectfully sheathed it.
"Kill you? I still have many things to clarify; you can’t die so easily!"
After speaking, Mu Yan coldly walked away, and Tan Ting was bound and taken away by the Hidden Guard.
The Vermilion Bird shouted, "Prince Yong is captured, surrender quickly; resist, and die!"
Prince Yong’s subordinates, being attacked from both sides by Dayu, completely lost their fighting spirit with these words!
Soon after, they all dropped their weapons one by one, surrendering!
"Eastern Wei has surrendered!"
"Eastern Wei has surrendered!"
The cheers of the soldiers echoed to the heavens, and the townspeople erupted in joy.
Qin Xiangming, his robe covered in blood, looked at his son and grandson, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Huang Gun erged mischievously from behind a shield, joy spreading on his face, "Ah, didn’t I say it? Dreaming of jumping into a well, a false alarm, just a small scene hahaha!"
Dugu Yan placed down her double purple-gold hamrs; it was over so quickly!
She hadn’t had her fill of fighting yet!
Liu Chuang laughed heartily, "Fighting alongside the Main General is exhilarating!"
Yang Wu sheathed his weapon and looked at Ye Xiaowu and Ye Xiaoliu, sincerely praising, "You two brothers are impressive!"
Ye Xiaowu and Ye Xiaoliu smiled together, as if they had returned to the Brave Army overnight.
On the city wall, the four old generals clapped their hands in delight!
Lu Zhong, Wang Qingchen, and Zhong Xuanliang exchanged smiles; Dayu, with such a mighty emperor and empress;
So many loyal and devoted soldiers;
And so many civilians willing to share life and death with Dayu, what is there to fear from enemy invasion!
Zhan Lan was inwardly joyful, Qingcheng’s heart surged with emotion, and Qingcheng suddenly grabbed Zhan Lan’s hand, "We’ve won! Dayu has won!"
Zhan Lan stared dazedly at Qingcheng holding her hand, Qingcheng’s smile froze, and she awkwardly withdrew her hand, looking into the distance.
Suddenly, Zhan Lan gasped, her abdon starting to ache.
Qingcheng imdiately supported her, and suddenly, a reassuring voice sounded behind Zhan Lan.
"Lan’er!"
Qingcheng turned to see Mu Yan rushing over, taking Zhan Lan from her hands.
"Yan..." Zhan Lan had been holding on; since sunset, her abdon had started to pain.
She was prepared to give birth in the city tower; the Imperial Physician and midwife were all ready inside.
In Mu Yan’s arms, Zhan Lan’s forehead began to sweat as Mu Yan’s brow twitched severely; he shouted loudly, "Quick! Imperial Physician!"
