The surging river roared like a sleeping beast in the dark night, like an endless mouth that could swallow the world.
Their boat was clearly anchored at the shore and tied securely, but it was still swaying with the waves.
Yu Xiang's face turned pale in an instant under the light of the candle.
There are such obvious winds and waves here, so shouldn't the winds be even stronger on the other side
Therefore, Shen Yun'an had known that there would be wind and waves tonight, so he led Xiao Changyan to the west, intending to annihilate Xiao Changyan's entire army!
"Tonight there will be not only strong winds, but also heavy rain. However, as a descendant of a noble family, perhaps with the blessing of God, His Royal Highness Prince Jing can escape death." Shen Yun'an spoke faintly, glancing at Yu Xiang with a smile, "General Yu, do you want to wait with me for a while, for God to have mercy on you?"
Wait? Wait for what
When the news of Xiao Changyan's death came? Even if Xiao Changyan was lucky enough to survive, what about the others? Could they all escape unscathed
Xiao Changyan took away a large number of troops and killed all of them. Can the people here still be a match for Shen Yunan
"Oh, I forgot to ask: Did General Yu receive the letter I sent to him?" Shen Yun'an suddenly spoke.
Yu Xiang, who had a panicked look on his face, was stunned at first when he heard this question, and then his back tightened.
All those letters are in Xiao Changyan's hands!
"I heard that His Highness Prince Jing has an aide whom he trusts very much. This time, he did not accompany His Highness Prince Jing to chase Prince Bu..." Shen Yun'an added slowly.
The letter is not in Shen Yun'an's handwriting, so there is no point in Yu Xiang keeping it. Since he has chosen to stand on the side of His Majesty, it doesn't matter if these fall into Xiao Changyan's hands!
But the premise is that they will win. Now that it has become like this, Xiao Changyan and the army have been buried in the rivers. Someone has to bear such a huge crime.
If someone handed these letters to His Majesty, he could be charged with colluding with Shen Yun'an, or with colluding with "water bandits".
Someone must give an explanation for these soldiers who died in the river!
"General Yu, whether this aide can return to Kyoto alive depends entirely on your decision," Shen Yun'an reminded.
What this means is that Xiao Changyan's staff has fallen into Shen Yun'an's hands!
Xiao Changyan always keeps a backup plan when doing things, so Shen Yun'an will naturally cut off all his escape routes!
Yu Xiang stared at Shen Yun'an. This young prince of the Northwest Prince in front of him was not even thirty years old, but he already knew how to control people's hearts.
From the very beginning, he knew that he would not be easily coerced by him. All these things were just waiting for him to be smart and follow the path he arranged step by step!
Now he had only two choices: fight to the death with Shen Yun'an and die here together, and the court would posthumously confer him a title of loyalty and heroism, or...
Yu Xiang raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yun'an: "Why would the prince ask me to turn against you?"
In fact, if possible, Shen Yun'an really didn't want to save the person in front of him. He would rather have him be posthumously named a hero than let such a cowardly, fickle villain go back.
but…
Shen Yun'an lowered his eyes, staring at the teacup in his hand, chuckled, raised his head and drank the already cold tea: "General Yu dares to rescue His Royal Highness King Jing?"
