Chapter 354: Can the Blood Shadow Pavilion assassinate Ye Feng?
Ye Feng led Li Shanxiao's black-armored cavalry and galloped all the way back to the military camp.
Not long after, Zhao Mu was seen looking listless, the four deputy generals following him also lowered their heads, and the army behind him was even more listless.
He knew very well that he had let Zhao Pengju go during the war, which was undoubtedly disobeying orders on the battlefield and violating military orders. He was afraid that he would definitely die. He suppressed his anger and quickly came to Ye Feng and said, "Your Majesty, I disobeyed orders before the battle. Not only did I not catch my father, King Zhao Pengju, but I also let him go. I am willing to accept the blame. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Ye Feng looked at Zhao Mu who came forward to confess his crime, and patted him on the shoulder. "General Zhao, don't blame yourself. King Nanyu is your father. It's normal for you to feel compassion for him, which proves that you are a sentimental person. I also guessed that you would not attack him, so I ordered the Black Armor Cavalry to intercept your father, but he has already committed suicide."
Zhao Mu widened his eyes, not understanding how Ye Feng knew that his father had committed suicide?
Huang Tong came forward and told him that Ye Feng had ordered the Black Armor Cavalry to intercept Zhao Pengju after Zhao Mu left.
After Zhao Mu heard this, he was moved. He knew very well that Ye Feng's purpose in doing this was to let him fulfill his filial duty.
He let Zhao Pengju go, which was a very kind act. However, Ye Feng ordered Li Shanxiao to take the black armor cavalry to clean up the mess for him, which was entirely for his own good.
"Thank you, Lord Zhenguo!"
Zhao Mu quickly bowed to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng looked calm and smiled. "Everyone is exhausted after the battles over the past few days. Order the entire army to rest on the spot. We will go to Nanyu City tomorrow morning."
"As ordered!"
All the soldiers said in unison. They were all very excited. Before the battle, they really couldn't believe that they could defeat King Nanyu with just such a small number of soldiers.
Now it seems that they all underestimated the ability of the state king. Almost every step from Minghua Pass was planned by Ye Feng himself, which can be said to be flawless.
……
early morning.
Ye Feng led a huge army and marched towards Nanyu City.
After about two hours, they saw a huge city with very long walls and a constant stream of people passing by, all of whom were talking about something.
The news of Zhao Pengju's defeat had spread, and many people in Nanyu City were not too surprised to see Ye Feng leading a large army to Nanyu City.
"This Zhenguo Jun looks so young. How did he manage to defeat the King of Nanyu?" Someone couldn't help but ask when they saw Ye Feng riding a warhorse.
"The King of Nanyu has been running Nanyu County for decades. When he led his army to station in Hankou, I always thought that Ye Feng would be defeated." The person next to him also said.
"The King of Nanyu is no match for the Lord of Zhenguo. It seems that the entire Song Dynasty is about to change." They all knew that with the destruction of King Nanyu Zhao Pengju, the southern region of the Song Dynasty would be controlled by Ye Feng again.
Ye Feng led his army into Nanyu City. It was worthy of being the base camp that Zhao Pengju had run for decades. The streets on both sides were neatly built and very prosperous and lively.
It can be said that the prosperity of Nanyu City far exceeds that of Zhao Changlin’s fiefdom, Yunshui City.
He quickly arrived in front of the Nanyu King's palace and slowly said to the soldiers around him, "The Nanyu King has committed suicide. His family members have been demoted to commoners and will no longer be held accountable."
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Zhenguo!"
The family members of Nanyu King Zhao Pengju all bowed and saluted.
……
Jinling City.
"Zhen Guojun won a great victory and successfully defeated King Nanyu."
"It is incredible that the King of the State defeated the enemy with a small force."
"It is a blessing for our Song Dynasty to have a ruler who protects the country."
When the news of Ye Feng's victory over King Nanyu reached Jinling City, countless people were completely excited. Before, they were not optimistic about Ye Feng's attack on King Nanyu.
Unexpectedly, in just over ten days, Ye Feng not only won a great victory, but also forced the King of Nanyu to commit suicide to apologize, helping the court regain control of Nanyu County.
Inside the emperor's bedroom, Zhao Qiuyan's eyes widened when she heard Ling'er's report, her face full of astonishment: "What kind of person is Zhenguojun? If I remember correctly, it's only been more than ten days? He killed the King of Nanyu for me?"
Ling'er's face was full of admiration, and she looked like a fangirl: "Your Majesty, I heard that everyone is saying that the Lord Zhenguo's ability to march and fight is unmatched."
"No! I must think of a way to quickly praise the meritorious ministers." Zhao Qiuyan raised her eyebrows. Zhenguojun had made such a great achievement in annihilating the King of Nanyu. As the emperor of the Song Dynasty, she must praise Ye Feng. After a little hesitation, she looked at Ling'er and said, "Go and convey my order. Zhenguojun has made great contributions in annihilating the King of Nanyu. In the future, he can enjoy the same treatment as me as the emperor in the Song Dynasty!"
"According to the order!"
Ling'er's two big eyes were shining.
Now that the state guardian Ye Feng holds the Emperor's Sword, he has the greatest power, so it is meaningless to confer an official title on him. Now Zhao Qiuyan's conferment is undoubtedly the greatest courtesy.
……
The General's Mansion.
Yue Teng sat in the mansion, his old eyes gleaming with brilliance, his face full of shock. Even though he had been through hundreds of battles, he couldn't figure out how Ye Feng could defeat the Nanyu King's army of more than 300,000 troops with an army of more than 100,000 in just over ten days. How could it be so fast with such a huge disparity in strength and the active attack?
"It seems that the fate of our Song Dynasty has not yet come to an end!"
Yue Teng couldn't help but look at the sky in the distance. After Ye Feng came to the Song Dynasty, a series of events that happened made him see the possibility of the revival of the Song Dynasty.
……
Prime Minister's Mansion!
Li Linpu sat on the armchair, his face gloomy and terrifying, almost twisted together, extremely ferocious, and said in a low voice: "What kind of existence is this Ye Feng? The King of Nanyu has been entrenched in Nanyu County for decades, claiming to have an army of hundreds of thousands and many brave generals, but he was defeated by him in just over ten days?"
Li Xun and the leader of the Illuminati, Yu Yu, stood in front of Li Linpu and did not dare to speak.
They all knew very well that after hearing the news that Ye Feng had killed Zhao Pengju, Li Linpu's face turned grim and the whole atmosphere was so gloomy that it was weird.
"If this continues, the entire Song Dynasty will really fall into Ye Feng's hands. There will be no place for us father and son to survive." Li Linpu gritted his teeth, his ferocious face trembling.
Li Linpu stood up, his face full of ferocity, and looked at Li Xun: "Xun'er, go to the Blood Shadow Pavilion and ask them quickly. Don't they claim that the mission will never fail? How come Ye Feng is still alive and well after we issued the mission for several months? Go and ask them directly, can the Blood Shadow Pavilion still assassinate Ye Feng and complete the mission?"
