The Singing of the Empty City [10]
The stars shone brilliantly in the night sky. The 100,000 soldiers from the South Courtyard realized that something was wrong. They began transferring troops to the city gate.
The two armies collide with their arrows on the bow.
Liu Yue remained indifferent. She held Yelu Hong as she continued to walk.
“You’re still not ordering your army to stop? Quickly! You really want to burn both jade and common stone (destroy indiscriminately)?” Third Royal Uncle’s face flushed red in anger. He waved and pointed his hand at Yelu Ji. Yelu Ji’s face stiffen when he heard those words.
As Third Royal Uncle pointed his finger at Yelu Ji, he realized he was able to finally move. At the moment, he didn’t have time to think about why he could move. Third Royal Uncle, like a starved wolf, threw himself at Yelu Ji. He randomly pulled and tore through Yelu Ji’s body, searching for something.
When Yelu Ji saw this, he gnashed his teeth in anger. However, he was still unable to move or speak. He could only bitterly endure it and let Third Royal Uncle search his body.
The lights in the halls shone splendidly. Liu Yue and Ouyang Yu Fei slowly walked towards the exit of the great hall.
The people in the great hall was anxious to the point that their furious eyes turned red. A portion of the officials continuously tried to say good words to appease Liu Yue. The other portion of the officials understood Third Royal Uncle’s intentions and urged him to quickly find it.
Chen Lan Hall descended to madness.
With one pull, Third Royal Uncle tore apart Yelu Ji’s undergarment. From Yelu Ji’s waist, an iron plaque that is the size of a palm fell onto the floor with a ‘thump’. Under the lights of the great hall, two words, ‘South Courtyard’ can be seen. The words were carved beautifully on the iron plaque.
Third Royal Uncle quickly picked the iron plaque up and urgently rushed down the platforms, heading toward Liu Yue.
“Regent, this is the command tally for the South Courtyard hub. With this, quickly command the soldiers from the South Courtyard to retreat.
Regent and Bei Mu are both one family. We can’t hurt our own family members. Yelu Ji is ambitious and that can only reflect himself. It cannot reflect what we think and want. Regent is loyal to our Bei Mu. We aren’t wild wolves with great ambitions. We know our limit.
In the future, Bei Mu will still require your help. You also truly care for the kid, Yelu Hong. You should also think for his sake. If we have internal strife, the Huns who are always eyeing us would seize this opportunity to attack us. Then Yelu Hong’s country would be in imminent danger.”
Third Royal Uncle had madly dashed down the platforms. As he gasps for breath, he pushed the command tally onto Liu Yue’s hand.
“What Third Royal Uncle has said is true…”
“Yes, yes…”
The numerous officials standing beside Third Royal Uncle all echoed in agreement. They had all thrown the ashen-faced Yelu Ji to the back of their mind.
