Chapter 438 Kill
"How was it handled?" Jiang Yue didn't know about the various changes that had taken place in the city and only had some simple guesses.
"One committed suicide, one was exiled, and one was beheaded." Mu Heng was about to continue explaining when he heard footsteps behind him.
Everyone looked back at the city, and suddenly saw His Majesty arriving in disguise.
Jiang Yue had no choice but to put aside the matter of her fifth sister's injury for the time being.
Everyone paid their respects. Zhao Chongxiu said, "No need to bow," and then looked at Jiang Yue urgently.
"What's the situation?"
He arrived on time based on the information he had obtained from the sentry.
His Majesty came to visit, obviously to ask Jiang Yue about the situation.
Therefore, Xue Wen and other Xuanwu soldiers moved away from each other.
They also felt uncomfortable in His Majesty's presence.
"Your Majesty, Princess Xining is on leave. The other side has as many as 10,000 people. We need to be fully prepared." Jiang Yue recounted the experience in full.
After hearing this, Zhao Chongxiu said:
"Everything is ready!"
Unexpectedly, Zeng Guangren helped him before his death.
The large quantities of sulfur and saltpeter he acquired were of great help.
After hearing this, Jiang Yue's sense of urgency decreased again.
She didn't know that His Majesty got the fuel from Zeng Guangren, she just thought that His Majesty did things much faster than she imagined.
At the same time, she thought to herself that with explosives, ten thousand people would not be a problem at all.
I heard your majesty ask,
"Who's in the carriage?"
Jiang Yue said: "It's that fake princess."
As soon as he finished speaking, His Majesty walked quickly forward, opened the curtain of the carriage, revealing the pale face of Princess Sheng'er.
"Jiang Yue, do you recognize this woman?"
"I don't know him." Jiang Yue had never had any impression of him before.
"She was very tight-lipped and refused to say anything."
"You refuse to speak?" Zhao Chongxiu sent someone to pull the woman out of the carriage and ordered someone to pour a basin of water on her to wake her up.
The woman was splashed with water and was shivering with cold.
She opened her eyes in a daze, and she thought she was dead.
I accidentally pulled the injury on my shoulder and gasped in pain.
Now that she saw Jiang Yue, she hated him even more.
Zhao Chongxiu asked:
"Why are you pretending to be Princess Xining?"
The woman pursed her cracked lips and said:
"I am Princess Xining!"
According to her investigation, Princess Xining had never been to Donglin. How did these people know that she was a fake?
She didn't know why Jiang Yue saw through her fake identity. Now another finger was pointed at Jiang Yue:
"General, you may have developed a paranoia. If I am not Princess Xining, then who is? I came here to marry a foreign princess, but I never thought you would slander me for no reason!"
"All the Xuanwu soldiers can testify that you are not Princess Xining!" Jiang Yue had already thought of such a scene. If this fake princess met anyone at the city gate, she would still not admit that she was a fraud.
"Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that this woman is not Princess Singh!" She clasped her fists to His Majesty with a firm look in her eyes.
"We can all testify!" Although Xue Wen and other Xuanwu soldiers were far away from His Majesty and Jiang Yue, they knew exactly what they talked about.
"What other proof do you need? I am the best proof. I am Princess Xining!" The woman tried her best to save her life.
Zhao Chongxiu certainly trusted Jiang Yue. He looked at the woman opposite him and said deliberately:
"I have already issued an order to execute Zeng Guangren and his entire family, the Ding family. All members of the Zeng family have been executed."
"As for Princess Xining, is there any need for her to marry into a powerful country to the east?"
Only then did Jiang Yue know that Zeng Guangren had been murdered.
She thought to herself that Mu Heng moved quickly, had a target in mind, and struck directly at the other person's heart.
It seems that keeping this hostage is a waste of time.
The reason she brought it back was to dispel His Majesty's doubts.
Otherwise, it would be inappropriate for her to kill someone silently.
In order to avoid being criticized for killing Princess Xining, she would not be able to explain herself even if she had mouths all over her body.
However, His Majesty has killed Mu Yun and Zeng Guangren, two cancers, and now no one is trying to make trouble for her.
She wanted to know the real whereabouts of Princess Xining, and Zhao Chongxiu also wanted to know because he was concerned about Xining's supplies.
He knew that Jiang Yue had already asked all the questions that needed to be asked, and even if he asked more, he wouldn't be able to get any useful information.
When the woman heard what Zhao Chongxiu said, she almost fainted again.
Zeng Guangren died, the Zeng family was wiped out, and Princess Xining's marriage also became a joke?
Why did things turn out like this?
She couldn't accept it, and couldn't accept it, but she was forced to accept it.
She had only heard that Donglin had inexplicably developed some unprecedentedly dangerous fuel, but she never imagined that the people of Donglin would have no fear of the surrounding countries because of this.
Looking at Zhao Chongxiu again, it turns out that he is His Majesty Donglin.
She tried hard to disguise herself, but her heart had already collapsed.
"Since you don't want to get married, then let me go!"
Zhao Chongxiu's cold lips slightly raised.
"Xining was once used by Northern Yan, and they intended to be the enemy of Donglin. Do you think I will let Princess Xining go?"
"No, I'm not Princess Xining!" the woman denied.
"Jiang Yue, kill her!" Zhao Chongxiu ordered Jiang Yue.
What is fake is fake and can never become true.
There is really no point in keeping her.
No matter who those people are, they must die!
"Yes!" Jiang Yue swung his spear and pressed it against the woman's chest.
The woman retreated and said angrily:
"There is no one available in Donglin anymore. Just wait, you will be punished. Tomorrow, Donglin will be defeated!"
She was wondering where Zeng Bufan had died.
When Jiang Yue heard this, she was certain that this woman was Zeng Guangren's person.
What she couldn't bear to hear most was others belittling their army:
"Donglin has strong soldiers and generals. It will be effortless to kill you!"
Zhao Chongxiu agreed with Jiang Yue's words, and then continued to say to Jiang Yue:
"After killing him, hang his corpse upside down on the city gate for three days!" Zhao Chongxiu would never be merciful to his enemies.
He also confirmed the woman's identity.
After hearing this, the woman's eyes became more hateful.
"No!"
Jiang Yue stabbed the woman's chest with his spear.
Only a shrill scream was heard, and blood spurted from the woman's chest. She fell to the ground and died. She was then dragged away by Xue Wen and Wu Fei and hung on the city wall.
Jiang Yue recalled the woman's harsh words before she died, and thought of Zeng Bufan's eager reaction as he hurried on his way, and analyzed:
"Your Majesty, they will not come."
If you can't save people in time, what's the point of coming?
She felt that anyone with a bit of common sense would understand this fact.
Jiang Yue didn't know that the Zeng family had been destroyed before. Now that she knew, she naturally thought that they wouldn't be so stupid as to come here and suffer losses.
Of course, they thought it would be a lose-lose situation.
After all, they must be well aware of the military strength of the eastern capital.
Zhao Chongxiu heard what Jiang Yue said, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Now that the Zeng family has been destroyed, they can no longer cooperate with the outside forces. They will definitely turn back, continue to recruit troops, and wait for the next siege."
Of course he wouldn't give them that chance.
Jiang Yue listened to His Majesty's analysis and had no intention of explaining further. He clasped his fists and asked for a fight:
"The last general invites you to fight!"
"Accurate!" Zhao Chongxiu's long-tense heart could finally relax.
"It's getting late, go back and rest first."
Of course he knew that Jiang Yue had just rushed back at full speed, and even an iron body would not be able to bear it. He was really worried about leaving the task to other people.
