Chapter 365: The Changning Army is less than forty li away, a night talk between monarch and subject

Outside Changancheng.

Forty li away.

Tens of thousands of Da Qian soldiers clad in black armor and filled with killing intent were resting.

But even while resting, there was no excessive noise; on the contrary, they remained vigilant.

One look showed they were an elite army!

This army was none other than the Changning Army, which had been galloping all the way!

Nangong Tian had a resolute face, dignified without anger, and a rich majesty permeated his body.

He cast his gaze toward the direction of Changancheng from time to time, filled with endless worry.

At this moment.

"Report!"

"A large number of Chu troops have been discovered twenty li ahead, but Changancheng has not yet fallen!"

A soldier came before Nangong Tian and said loudly.

Hearing this, Nangong Tian felt a sudden sense of relief.

If Changancheng had fallen, then everything would have lost its meaning.

But fortunately, Heaven blessed Da Qian, and the worst-case scenario had not yet occurred.

"Has the movement of our army been sent into Changancheng?"

Nangong Tian asked in a deep voice.

"We have used encrypted secret letters and carrier pigeons to head toward Changancheng!"

The soldier said hurriedly.

Nangong Tian looked resolute, clad in black armor, killing intent flickering in his eyes.

"Pass my military order: the entire army shall advance at full speed!"

"We must rush to reinforce Changancheng at the fastest speed!"

"This time, I want these Great Chu soldiers to lose more than they gain!"

As the military order was given.

The Changning Army assembled once more, tens of thousands of elites galloping toward the direction of Changancheng!

Nangong Tian rode his warhorse, leading the way.

He said silently in his heart: "Your Majesty, hold on a little longer, this old subject will be there soon!"

"……"

Imperial Palace.

Inside the great hall.

"Your Majesty, I have heard these words… but to be honest, these words are not very auspicious."

Gao Yang was completely numb upon hearing 'Let the thieves tear my corpse apart, but do not harm a single commoner.'

At this time node, for Wu Zhao to say this was not just a little inauspicious.

Wu Zhao looked stunned, somewhat confused.

"Looking across the seven kingdoms and spanning a thousand years, no monarch has ever said these words. Where did you hear them?"

"Is it really that inauspicious?"

Gao Yang nodded very seriously, his face making no attempt to hide his disdain.

Wu Zhao fell silent for a time.

"When I said these words to Wan'er, Wan'er cried until she was a tear-stained mess. I thought… you would also be very moved."

Gao Yang remained expressionless and sighed. "I will never be moved by such words of national destruction. Besides sounding good in history books, this decree of Your Majesty will not have any effect."

"The Chu army has been unable to take the city for a long time and has been holding a fire in their hearts. Once they break through Changancheng, they will slaughter the city, set fires, and at least half of the people in the city will die."

"Your Majesty is the Emperor of Da Qian and cannot control the soldiers of Great Chu. None of this will change; what is meant to happen will happen, just as the sun rises from the east as usual."

Wu Zhao raised her head, her phoenix eyes staring at Gao Yang's face. These words were quite piercing, directly poking through an established fact.

But this time, Gao Yang did not dodge, but looked serious. ===== CHAPTER 367 =====
