Chapter 932 Internal Conflict
When the first person made a move, the others would follow suit.
Because the soldiers were not sure whether the people around them were enemies or allies, they had long become flustered.
There were no virtues, vices, or comradeship any longer.
They only wanted to survive, so their instinct of beasts had been awakened.
The chaotic massacre swept over the green army.
And two hundred dark red knives broke through the weak human wall easily.
The enemy’s disorder and internal strife boosted the morale of Long Tianyu’s army.
The longer the soldiers fought, the braver they became. And they wantonly reaped the enemies’ lives as if they were cutting vegetables.
Among those people, a calm figure on the horse was particularly eye-catching.
His bright red armor was covered with enemies’ blood.
When Long Tianyu raised his head, he was able to see the decrepit and muddleheaded man on the wall although the light was dim.
“Fight against the rebels! Protect Dajin!”
He pointed his spear toward the person on the city wall who had long hated him to the core.
Although he was amid the chaos, his deep voice was still powerful and resonating.
“Fight against the rebels! Protect Dajin!”
Amidst the chaos, someone echoed.
Then, the echoes gradually became louder and clearer, penetrating the night sky.
Standing on the palace wall, the Crown Prince felt the anger surging in his chest was driving him crazy.
His eyes were red when he gnashed his teeth and looked at the damn bastard.
He was the orthodox heir to the throne, so he should be the Emperor!
All those who refused to submit to him deserved to die!
“Your Highness, our army has suffered disastrous losses.”
The deputy general, who had been giving orders outside the palace gate, ran over in a hurry. He indulged his sexual proclivities, so he was very thin. And now his face was pale.
Their strengths were equal, so they should not have suffered such a crushing defeat.
But he didn’t know why many soldiers were attacking their comrades-in-arms around them.
He had heard there were spies in their army.
But those soldiers had long lost their minds because of the killing. Even if he had ordered people to kill several lunatics, it was useless.
Now, they were utterly defeated.
They couldn’t turn the table within a brief time.
“What if they are all killed? As long as I can ascend the throne, their deaths will be worthy.”
The failure made the Crown Prince insane.
His desire for the throne and his hatred against Long Tianyu had long blinded him.
He grabbed the deputy general by the collar.
And there was no trace of humanity in his eyes which had already been dyed red by jealousy.
“I order you to guard the gate of the palace. Guards, take the old bastard hiding in the imperial study and the two bitches in Ningqing Hall over. I will let Long Tianyu know the taste of failure!”
Becoming inhumane, the Crown Prince was completely insane and hopeless.
But the deputy general was not stupid. Seeing him going crazy, he could not help shuddering with fright.
He knew he was just a dog in his eyes like all the other people.
And his instinct to survive made his shaky will waver.
If he turned his coat, he...
“No one dares to betray me. Chen Wu, don’t forget about your fifteen family members. I can kill them at any time.”
The Crown Prince tightened his grip. Chen Wu was also a martial artist, so he could see the killing intent in his eyes.
He immediately broke out into a cold sweat and showed a pleading look on his face.
“I... I dare not betray you. Your Majesty, please don’t worry.”
“Humph! It’s good that you know your situation.”
The Crown Prince snorted with contempt in his eyes.
No one could betray him. Otherwise, he would make that person live in hell.
Watching Chen Wu stagger out, the Crown Prince was so anxious that he kept pacing forth and back on the palace wall.
“What millions died that Caesar might be great! Your Majesty, you don’t need to be angry with a dog,” said a feminine and cold voice.
The Crown Prince had been furious like a lion just now. But when he saw the comer, his eyes lit up.
“Have you completed your task?”
When the man took out an apricot-yellow letter from his pocket, a sneer flashed across his pale face.
He then said, “Fortunately, I didn’t let you down.”
The Crown Prince snatched the letter over and opened it in a hurry, so he did not notice the coldness flashing across the eye of the young man which had not been covered.
“Ha-ha! I knew it! Those silver foxes will support me! I am the true Emperor! I am the ruler of the country!”
In the night, blood splattered everywhere.
But the culprit was laughing complacently behind the scenes in a safe place.
But he didn’t know that the person in front of him, who had long become his confidant, was the one who would kill him.
“Your Majesty, congratulations on getting what you want!”
Baili Wuchen lowered his head, but there was no respect in his single eye at all.
The Crown Prince was vastly different from that man. Baili Wuchen did not care who sat on the throne, but he was loyal to only one person.
“Guards, pass down my order! Ask them not to conceal their strength anymore! Counterattack!”
The Crown Prince glared at the blood-red figure in the distance with bloodthirstiness in his eyes.
He swore he would personally behead that bastard to celebrate his coronation to the throne!
“Yes, Your Majesty. But isn’t it too lenient to kill him?”
Baili Wuchen suddenly changed the topic and showed undisguised killing intent and hatred in his eyes.
The Crown Prince blinked his eyes and guessed his most capable lackey must have a deep hatred against that bastard too.
The wild joy after realizing his hope had infinitely magnified his arrogance.
When he looked at Baili Wuchen gloomily, he felt as if Long Tianyu’s life was already in his hands.
“What do you want?”
When Baili Wuchen turned to look at the battlefield, the Crown Prince was very satisfied with the sinister look in his single eye.
It was because of the lackey’s viciousness and mercilessness that he had made him his first adviser.
He thought he knew how to manage his subordinates better than Long Tianyu.
For example, he would never let his people have a chance to be used by his enemy.
He would not be at ease unless he eliminated all traitors in person.
But Long Tianyu was the most ridiculous idiot in the world!
“Your Majesty, what do you think a proud man cannot stand the most? I think it is killing his parents and raping his wife. If you ascend to the throne in front of him, kill his mother, and marry his beloved woman, he will live in hell, right?”
When Baili Wuchen described the scene the Crown Prince was longing for bit by bit, his voice sounded magical, making the latter extremely excited.
“Your words make sense. I will marry his woman. What if his mother becomes a prostitute in the army? Although that woman is old, she is still beautiful. My father has made a pet of her for many years. That little bastard got everything he has now because of that bitch. You’re right. We will torment him in this way!”
He didn’t care about killing people.
But he wanted to see the bastard suffer and that bitch become the most despicable woman in the world.
Why could they be superior to him and his mother?
His father was too partial and only liked the son of that bitch.
In this case, he would let everyone rape her!
“Your Majesty, your idea is better. In this case, I’ll send the wedding dresses to the princess of the Nation of Lintian in person. When she becomes your concubine, the royal family of the Nation of Lintian will become your in-laws. After the internal and external troubles are both solved, your country will be safe and stable.”
Baili Wuchen was dressed like a scholar. He did not have any military rank in this life-and-death battle.
The Crown Prince looked at him with satisfaction. He knew Baili Wuchen had turned to his side because he wanted to retaliate against that bastard.
However, he was smart. Other than secretly handling some matters, he had never interfered in military affairs.
The Crown Prince thought Baili Wuchen had taken the initiative to take the task to contact those silver foxes because he did not want him to suspect he would show mercy to Long Tianyu.
“Alright! After we succeed, I will reward you with the right to torture that bastard in person.”
Baili Wuchen laughed heartily as if he was very satisfied with the reward the Crown Prince promised him.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Baili Wuchen knelt to the Crown Prince, looking respectful and docile, but he was hiding his contempt in his single eye deeply.
The Crown Prince was always having pipe dreams like this.
After getting permission, Baili Wuchen soon got out of the Crown Prince’s sight.
The sounds of fighting kept coming from outside the palace. But inside the wall, the inner courtyard which few people had trod in had been covered with white snow.
In the dark, the snow on the ground looked grey.
Baili Wuchen was leading twelve elite guards in the direction of Ningqing Hall, holding some well-prepared wedding dresses in their hands.
Everyone in the palace was worried about themselves, and even the maids and eunuchs were all hiding and trembling in the corners.
Only the Ningqing Hall was strictly guarded by elite soldiers.
“Lord Baili!”
One of the elite soldiers who were ordered to guard the Ningqing Palace immediately came forward. Although they changed shifts every few hours, their bodies were still a little stiff after they had been standing in the snow for a long time.
The one-eyed handsome young man nodded indifferently, but before the soldier could say anything more, a sharp dagger had pierced his chest.
“Sir... you!”
His body was benumbed, so he did not feel much pain.
Even though his heart was pierced, he still widened his eyes and stared intensely at Baili Wuchen expressionlessly retracting his hand that had sent the dagger into his chest.
“Kill them all!”
Baili Wuchen ordered in an indifferent tone because he did not care about the soldiers’ lives at all.
With a thump, the man whose heart was pierced fell on the thick snow.
The last sound he heard was that of weapons being unsheathed, and then, blood splashed on the snow.
“Sir, it’s all settled.”
The weapons of the twelve elite guards had been hidden on the trays in their hands.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of enemies who had not had time to react had been killed quietly.
