Chapter 2125: Shao Yunduan Has Nothing To Say
A sense of helplessness pervaded the room as they exchanged glances. How could they conjure any solutions?
The road ahead was obstructed by the cunning maneuvers of the Fan mother and daughter!
With this path leading inevitably to a dead end, there seed to be no alternative.
While other predicants might offer room for reversal, the specter of “rebellion” lood as an irrevocable verdict.
No monarch could brook such insubordination.
Even the most lenient ruler would sooner execute the offenders than let them slip through their grasp.
Following Fan Ruyin and her daughter’s brazen actions, Sun ng’s public interrogation, and the ensuing altercation…
Shao Yunduan found himself at a loss for words.
No one would entertain notions of innocence. No one would chalk it up to re misunderstanding.
Sun ng, especially, with his singular focus, would undoubtedly stoke the flas of accusation upon his return.
Yet, to prevent his return would entail resorting to extre asures— asures unthinkable, even in the heat of the mont.
Moreover, could General Sun, stationed in the provincial city, overlook such a grievance? No rationale, no matter how cunningly contrived, could absolve them of this debacle.
Especially to soone already predisposed against them, convincing the other party of innocence seed a futile endeavor.
It was widely acknowledged that Anze Province stood united. Lord Shao wasn’t the sole victim of the Fan mother and daughter’s deception— they were all ensnared in their web of deceit.
Amidst exchanged glances and hushed conversations, simring resentnt bubbled to the surface.
The arrival of General Sun and his ilk only served to solidify their suspicions!
If he behaved thus, what of his master? Wasn’t his master’s master cut from the sa cloth?
“Lord! We refuse to endure such humiliation any longer! Why not… rebel!”
Jia Heming’s hand slamd against the table, his tone dripping with disdain. “I can’t tolerate this Sun any longer. Prefect Liu must hold a grudge against us for failing to exploit him in the past. With him in the picture, we stand to gain nothing! He’s petty beyond belief! Since he’s thrust the accusation of rebellion upon us, perhaps it’s our destiny! In tis of chaos, why not take a gamble? As n, we ought to strive for greatness and leave our mark. Our Anze Province boasts wealth, resources, and manpower. Why should we suffer needlessly!”
“And let’s not forget General Shao in the northwest! The leverage at your disposal rivals that of any prince.”
“If all else fails, we can simply retreat into the depths of the mountains. Those rugged bandits, ignorant of civilization, can carve out their own kingdoms atop those peaks. Why can’t we?”
With those words, a miraculous calm descended upon the previously agitated assembly.
Their eyes t, each echoing the sa sentint.
Indeed, forget everything else—what he proposed held rit! Anze Province was cradled by vast forests spanning thousands of miles. The mountainous terrain offered labyrinthine hideouts; even a thousand-strong force would vanish amidst the foliage.
This served as a ready-made escape plan. Why not take the risk?
They all recognized Lord Shao’s prowess. Following him seed wiser than siding with the second prince.
After all, the Sun family favored Prefect Liu. The dispatch of Constable Li spoke volus about his intentions and their precarious position in his hands.
Under his rule, misfortune awaited them sooner or later.
In tis of turmoil, courage flourished, and no thought seed too audacious.
