Chapter 65 You talk too much, you can die
The lieutenant general became more and more excited, and even ignored the etiquette. He walked closer to Li Chengyun and spoke sharply, like an arrow on a bow:
"Your Majesty, those soldiers are also the people of Daqing. How can you throw their lives into the flames of war just because of your selfish desires?"
"If this person died because of you, wouldn't your heart be in pain at all? Wouldn't you reflect on yourself and realize that you have become a sinner!!"
His words became more and more decisive, as if Li Chengyun had become an unforgivable sinner in his mouth.
After saying this, he stared at Li Chengyun with a smug look in his eyes.
He thought to himself that Li Chengyun would surely feel ashamed after such an impassioned speech and would definitely give up the idea of moving forward.
However, in a flash, the sword flashed and broke through the air like lightning.
The lieutenant general's face froze instantly, and his body was split in two, and he fell to the ground with a bang!
The blood gushed out like a fountain, dyeing every inch of the land red!
On the two halves of the head, the eyes were wide open, full of astonishment and unwillingness, looking very sad!
This scene is truly a tragedy that makes one die with eyes open!
Upon seeing this, all the generals suddenly took a step back, Qin Ye being among them, unable to conceal their horror.
Li Chengyun's move was so bold and shocking.
Although the general's words were a bit rude, it was by no means a heinous crime. Moreover, on the battlefield, such words and actions were common.
Everyone felt that what he said made sense and felt sad.
Although Li Chengyun is a prince, how can he let his own selfish interests affect so many people?
Their fate is also their fate.
Who doesn’t want to be born, and who is willing to bear the burden of failure?
Qin Ye stared at the general's body on the ground, feeling mixed emotions.
He knew this man very well. He had followed him in his battles since he was young, overcoming all obstacles along the way and eventually becoming a general.
He has outstanding abilities and admirable loyalty, and Qin Ye has always placed high hopes on him.
Now, it has ended up like this, which is really heartbreaking and sad.
If this general can make a few more achievements, he might be able to go further and have a bright future.
And now, alas!
He rests here forever.
Qin Ye's eyes widened with anger, he looked up at Li Chengyun, and said in a thunderous voice:
"My Lord, what is the meaning of this?!"
Seeing this, Li Chengyun sneered:
"He was disobedient and committed crimes. Didn't you all witness it?!"
"And you all seem to have forgotten that I am also a ninth-rank warrior. Looking at the world, what is there to be afraid of?"
"So what about Si Gu Jian? Before he captured me, did I not even have the strength to commit suicide?"
"I am here to tell you clearly that if we are really surrounded by the enemy and cannot break out, I will end my life with my sword and will never become a prisoner of the enemy!"
After saying this, he looked around at the generals with a sharp gaze, especially at Qin Ye:
"Everyone, I have made up my mind. If anyone objects, their fate will be like that of the generals on earth!"
As he spoke, he pointed his sword at the general's body on the ground.
When everyone heard this, they all trembled like autumn leaves in the cold wind and remained silent.
Li Chengyun left without staying for a moment.
As his figure gradually moved farther and farther away and finally disappeared from sight, there was an instant uproar among the generals and Qin Ye, like boiling water surging and difficult to calm down.
The anger in everyone's heart was like a raging flame rising into the sky, which could not be contained.
"Prince Yan! What is the purpose of this action? To kill a fellow soldier so easily, doesn't this show the dignity that a prince who leads troops into battle should have?!"
"Too much! Too arrogant! Although I have heard that the Prince of Yan is domineering, I didn't expect him to be so arrogant! He killed a general without authorization! He simply regarded human life as worthless!" "He is so arrogant! He is really arrogant! How could Your Majesty have such a son? It is a shame for Qing to have a prince like the Prince of Yan!"
"Haha, I know you underestimated him! The prince dared to kill even the deposed crown prince outside of Kyoto, so why would he be afraid of others? But I can also see that he doesn't take us seriously at all and regards us as trash!"
"General Qin, the King of Yan is insisting on his own way. What should we do now?"
"Yes, General, do we still need to send someone to protect the King of Yan?"
Upon hearing his subordinates' questions, Qin Ye's face became as gloomy as ink, and his cold expression was intimidating.
His eyes were cold as he looked in the direction where Li Chengyun left and said in a deep voice:
"Since King Yan has made up his mind, we will let him go!"
"You must follow the original plan. The war is the most important thing now. Don't let today's events disturb your mind."
"I will handle this matter myself, you guys can leave first!"
Hearing Qin Ye's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
"General, we will take our leave first! I hope you will not be disturbed by the King of Yan. If the King of Yan wants to die, how can he let us be buried with him?"
"Yes, the King of Yan is determined to move forward, and we cannot stop him. Moreover, he has killed someone! If something happens to him later, it is not our fault!"
"Yes! If Your Majesty punishes the general for this matter, I am willing to share the responsibility with the general! There is always justice in the world, how can we allow the King of Yan to run rampant!"
"The King of Yan is truly despicable. When we retreat, we will denounce his actions in front of the generals and soldiers. This man should be despised by the entire army!"
After Qin Ye comforted them briefly, everyone left.
After all the generals had left, he ordered his men to deal with the body of the lieutenant general.
When he was the only one left around, Qin Ye suddenly kicked the tree next to him and made it fall down with a loud bang.
He shouted angrily, "You are so rude, kid! How dare you look down on us like this! You are so arrogant right now! If you gain the upper hand, how can we survive!"
"A ninth-rank warrior, a great master! Humph, such a majestic presence, so frightening!"
"If you truly become a Grand Master, won't you have to turn us all into your slaves?"
His face was ferocious and his pupils were bloodshot, like a furious beast.
Thinking of the hatred between himself and Li Chengyun, and recalling Li Chengyun's arrogant look today, and then looking down at the bloodstains on the ground that had not yet dried, Qin Ye's hatred was about to burst through the sky.
He walked into the tent.
He raised his sleeves, picked up a pen and paper, and recorded everything that happened today in detail, without missing a single thing.
"Send a fast horse to deliver this letter to Kyoto and present it to your majesty!"
He wanted to report all the events of the day to Emperor Qing and wait for his reaction.
After the messenger left, he called his confidant and said in a deep voice:
"You have witnessed what happened today. The King of Yan is arrogant and rude. Sooner or later, it will affect us."
"What does the general mean?" The confidant looked curious.
"I will make him pay the price for his arrogance and make him understand that even with the power of a grand master, he cannot guarantee his safety!" Qin Ye gritted his teeth, his hatred was hard to calm down.
Although the confidants were slightly surprised when they heard this, their loyalty to Qin Ye remained unwavering.
Even if Qin Ye ordered him to assassinate Emperor Qing, he would try to carry it out without hesitation.
"I wonder what the general wants me to do?"
The confidant bowed and asked, waiting for Qin Ye's order.
