Chapter 501: Dejected
The lieutenants standing on the shore were still laughing at Xuanyuan Lie and the others at first.
But now, seeing the several Ouchi guards, all of them began to lose control and slowly submerged into the water, their expressions also changed.
Everyone really pities these people and feels that they have no vision. How could they choose such a useless master?
Gu Chan wasn't a cruel person. Her purpose was to teach Xuanyuan Lie and the others a lesson, and she didn't want to kill the imperial guards. So at this time, she couldn't stand it any longer, so she prepared to step forward to help.
Nan Xingkuang suddenly raised his eyes and glared at her and shouted, "Gu Chan, what are you going to do?"
"General, I..."
"Stand where you are. This is how the world is. They have their choice. If they are loyal to their master, then even if they die for the master, it is still their life." Nan Xingkuang did not give Gu Chan a chance to speak, and spoke first. she interrupted.
Gu Chan glanced at the several Ouchi guards who were slowly submerging into the water, and finally couldn't bear to turn her back.
After a while, several Ouchi guards sank into the water one after another.
Yan Xishan climbed to the shore exhausted, holding on to the weeds on the shore with both hands and refusing to let go.
Xuanyuan Lie held the fishing rod in his hand, looked at the calm river, and slumped on the ground with a look of loss, unable to say a word at all.
These loyal men sank into the water in front of him, and the long incense in the incense burner over there was still about a third of the way out.
Nan Xingkuang said coldly, "Second Prince, I've given you face. You can't save these loyal men by yourself, it has nothing to do with me. Now the three of you can go back with Bai Jingtian. As for their bodies, Whether you want to find someone to fish it up and bury it alive is also your business.”
After saying that, Nan Xingkuang led everyone away with a disappointed look on his face.
Gu Chan stood there, unable to move, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
She fully thought that Xuanyuan Lie could save these big guards, but she didn't know that this grandson was so cowardly that he couldn't even catch people in such a simple way. Now she even had the guts to hurt these big guards. The inner guard's guilt!
At this time, Nan Xingkuang shouted to her without looking back, "Gu Chan, what are you doing standing still? Come up quickly, I want to go back to the camp and have a good chat with you."
"Yes, General." Gu Chan returned to her senses and responded.
Then she sighed helplessly, followed the team and left with Bai Hu.
Soon only Xuanyuan Lie and four others were left on the shore.
Bai Jingtian stepped forward, helped Xuanyuan Lie up from the ground and said, "Let's go, Master, go back to Jiangnan City. We will find someone to come over and retrieve their bodies, and then bury them properly."
"Bai Jingtian, am I a coward? I can't even save my beloved subordinates?" Xuanyuan Lie asked in despair.
"Master, it's not your fault, it's just that I wasn't strong enough to defeat Nan Xingkuang, otherwise things like this wouldn't have happened." Bai Jingtian said while holding back tears.
Xuanyuan Lie waved his hand and pushed him away, then lowered his head and left slowly, dejectedly, like a defeated rooster.
Guo Huaize quickly pulled Yan Xishan, who was lying on the shore, ashore.
Yan Xishan was lying on the ground, breathing heavily and yelling, "Gu Chan, you little bastard, you almost killed me. You and I are incompatible."
Bai Jingtian was already sad. When he heard Yan Xishan's words, his anger was instantly ignited. He immediately rushed forward and punched him, punching him violently.
"Ahhh..." "Commander Bai, are you crazy? Why are you beating me?"
Yan Xishan was beaten until he screamed like a slaughtered pig. He huddled on the ground tiredly and held his head in his hands, extremely puzzled.
Guo Huai hurriedly pulled him and said, "Commander Bai, calm down, please be calm! At this juncture, we can no longer fight internally, we must act unanimously to the outside world."
"Bah! You two are pig-headed. If you hadn't encouraged the second prince last night, he wouldn't have given such a stupid order, and my brothers wouldn't have died in such a vain. I tell you, if it weren't for the fact that you Since the second prince is still loyal, I wish I could kill you all right now." Bai Jingtian cursed.
After scolding him, he kicked Guo Huai to the ground and then chased Xuanyuan Lie.
Yan Xishan and Guo Huai were paralyzed on the ground. You looked at me and I looked at you, both looking at each other in confusion.
Guo Huai looked aggrieved and said, "What does it have to do with me? I worked so hard to save them just now. I am so tired that my old bones are not light. Now you are kicking me. I am really a mute who eats yellow lotus. I can't say no when it's hard." Come out!”
"What does it mean that you just got kicked? Look at me, my nose and face were bruised and swollen by him, and I went into the water to fish for people! Although I didn't succeed, it didn't beat me like this!" Yan Xishan was in pain. He said with a grin.
After saying that, they both stood up feeling aggrieved, supported each other and limped away.
On the other side, inside the Jiangnan Camp General’s Mansion.
At this time, Gu Chan had followed Nan Xingkuang back and sat in the huge general hall.
The lieutenants were sitting on both sides, and they all looked at Nan Xingkuang, who was sitting in the first place, and remained silent.
After Nan Xing took a sip of wine, he looked at everyone and said, "Did you all see it just now? This is our second prince of Tiancang Kingdom. As the lord of the Jiangnan area, what virtue does he have to rule this place?"
"Hey! It is rumored that the second prince is resolute, ruthless, and resourceful. I originally thought he was very powerful, but judging from today's situation, this rumor is false."
"Yes, this person has a great face, but his talents are mediocre and he is definitely not worthy of reuse."
"If I were to be loyal to such a person, I would rather die."
The lieutenants opened their mouths and sighed one after another, all of them were extremely disappointed with Xuanyuan Lie.
Gu Chan heard something wrong in everyone's words, stared at Nan Xing and said wildly, "General, according to your opinion, do you mean that you originally planned to surrender to the second prince and help him rule the Jiangnan area?"< br>
"Of course, this is also the emperor's secret decree for us, and the emperor's secret decree is very clear. If he is worthy of reuse, let us do our best to support him. If he is no longer worthy of reuse, just abandon him." Nan Xing nodded crazily and said.
After speaking, he directly reached into his sleeve, took out a secret letter, and asked his subordinates to hand it to Gu Chan.
Gu Chan received the secret letter without explaining, "General, what does this mean?"
"You will take this secret letter and go back to Jiangnan City to find the second prince later, and let him see what the emperor means. You also have to tell him, don't blame me for being ruthless next time." Nan Xing Kuang said with a livid face.
Gu Chan nodded quickly in agreement.
Then she stood up and said goodbye to Nan Xingkuang and others. Taking this secret letter, she quickly left the Jiangnan Camp with Bai Hu and rushed to the Censor's Mansion in Jiangnan City.
Just because she understood that with the revelation of the emperor's secret letter, the Jiangnan area might really change completely.
