Chapter 249 - The Shortest Route
"I will!" He turned around and hurried towards the bedroom.
On the other side, Feng Shijiu walked out of the back door of the palace and rode his horse towards the dense forest in the suburbs. In his mind, he kept imagining the topographic map of Nanyue Kyoto that he had just seen in Feng Yixuan's hand, thinking about the shortest route when he led the troops back.
The wind blew past his ears, and Feng Shijiu's little face was blown as red as an apple. He suddenly thought of Mu Ziyan, whose whereabouts were still unknown, and he couldn't help but kick the horse's belly hard again. The pain made Xiaobai wish he could split his four legs into eight.
At the boundary river less than a mile away from the imperial palace, Song Yuntian looked at the large number of troops not far away with a stern face, and his hands holding the reins were getting tighter and tighter. If he was not mistaken, the people leading the troops were Gu Liuqing and Gu Qinghong.
"Send a spy back to report to the emperor that the invading enemy is the army of Chunan Kingdom, and the one leading the troops is the current emperor of Chunan, Gu Liuqing." Song Yuntian said calmly to the deputy general behind him.
"Yes, I obey!"
Song Yuntian narrowed his eyes slightly, but he was a little puzzled. He had thought that the Chu Nan Kingdom would not stay in a corner and would cause some trouble sooner or later. However, he did not expect that the Emperor of Chu Nan would mobilize troops so early, and at the same time when they were trying to seize power. It was extremely strange.
In a moment, Chu Nan's army marched to the boundary river and confronted Nan Yue's soldiers. The atmosphere instantly became suffocating, but neither side took any action. The commanders of the two armies just looked at each other coldly and remained silent.
Just when the soldiers thought they would stare at each other until dawn, Gu Liuqing, dressed in military uniform, said calmly, "Brother Song, we meet again. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Song Yuntian frowned. The time when he had the deepest impression of Gu Liuqing should have been more than ten years ago. At that time, he was still a powerless proton. The clarity in his eyes seemed to be able to see directly into his heart. Who would have thought that such a harmless little fool would grow up to be such an iron-blooded emperor.
"Brother Song, I'm afraid you've already forgotten..."
"There's no need to call me so affectionately, otherwise it will cause His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyue to misunderstand. I, Song, am a general of Nanyue, and you are the Emperor of Chu Nan. It's better for you to stop calling each other brothers." Song Yuntian said in a cold voice, then drew his sword and pointed it at Gu Liuqing.
Gu Liuqing sneered, how unlovable! He wanted to let Song Yuntian go for the sake of the little girl, but it seemed that this guy didn't want to accept this favor!
"Well, General Song, why don't you surrender to our Chunan Kingdom? After the world is pacified and unified, it won't be a problem for you to be granted a title of nobility or appointed as prime minister. Why bother guarding this declining Nanyue?" After he finished speaking, he took out the folding fan from his waist and fanned it coquettishly.
"Song's ambitions are not that high, and everything I care about in this life is in Nanyue. I'm afraid I will be letting you down." Song Yuntian immediately responded coldly.
"Oh? Does everything General Song said include your sister? She has already surrendered to me. Doesn't General Song have any ideas?" Gu Liuqing closed the folding fan in his hand and looked at Song Yuntian. There was a faint smile flashing in his eyes, but it was a heart-wrenching sight.
This simple sentence seemed to have dropped a huge rock on Song Yuntian's heart, making him feel a little breathless. He certainly would not believe that his little sister would betray the enemy, but could he understand Gu Liuqing's words just now as having another meaning, that is, Li'er had fallen into Gu Liuqing's hands.
The sound of horse hooves interrupted Song Yuntian's thoughts. He knew without looking back that it must be Feng Yixuan who had arrived with another group of people. Fortunately, Feng Yixuan did not hear what was said just now. He had always been brooding over the fact that Li'er was the high priest of Dongchu. Although he felt much better now, he still had some fear in his heart. What's more, he was now a king, ruling the world. This suspicion would probably be even heavier.
