Free Web NovelChapter 1106: Chapter 798: Yu Wenye Takes Action!
"It is King Qin!"
At this moment, it was unclear who shouted first, or perhaps it was countless voices that shouted simultaneously upon seeing that tall figure, resembling a Heavenly God, majestically appear.
It is King Qin, Yu Wenye!
He was dressed in armor and wielded a Mo Blade. The blade, bright as snow, had already slain countless foes, stained with crimson. Blood slowly dripped down the blade, eventually falling to the ground, leaving crimson footprints with each step he took.
It is King Qin Yuwenye, it is him!
Upon seeing him appear, although not fully understanding what had happened, Yu Wenquan almost immediately sensed the relief from those around him.
Those soldiers who initially fought bravely while crossing the river, upon seeing Yu Wenye, were completely drained of their final bit of strength. They dejectedly removed their helmets and armor, like puppets cut from their strings, utterly defeated.
Yu Wenquan widened his eyes, gazing at his son standing proudly on the opposite riverbank. For a moment, the air was heavy.
After the initial sigh of relief from those around, confusion began to spread—
"What exactly happened?"
"Why is King Qin on the opposite side?"
"Were those people just now King’s Qin’s, or someone else’s?"
In the midst of everyone’s confusion, they saw Yu Wenye gently wave his hand, and then two people emerged behind him, one tall and the other short.
Because they were too far away, many could not discern who these two people were, but Yu Wenquan, sharp-eyed and familiar, immediately recognized the taller one as Fan Cheng’en, the former Songzhou Governor, with his slender frame and elegant demeanor, evoking a refined and noble aura.
The shorter individual wasn’t truly short but was hunched due to his hands being bound behind him.
That person was Jiang Chong’en!
Seeing this, Yu Wenquan seemed to understand something, and he said in a deep voice, "Immediately assist King Qin in crossing the river!"
At this point, Yu Mingyue, standing not far from him, grew increasingly grim—though this incident wouldn’t drag them down for now, from the corpses earlier and Yu Wenye’s sudden appearance, she understood what had happened, realizing today’s efforts were in vain. She could only grit her teeth and quietly retreat to the side where Yu Dingxing was being treated by Lin Shian.
Before Yu Wenquan’s people could cross the river, Yu Wenye already began to walk towards the riverbank. Only then did everyone see not only did he have a large force with him but also numerous soldiers, wearing deep blue uniforms, bound, clearly captured by him. He directed his men to escort these individuals across the river while he, with several personal soldiers, escorted Jiang Chong’en and Fan Cheng’en onto just-arrived boats, quickly crossed the broad Yellow River, landed ashore, and strode toward the riverbank boldly.
By this time, Yu Wenquan had returned to sit under the canopy, and to calm himself, he took a sip from the teacup on the table beside him.
Just as he set down the cup, Yu Wenye, reeking of blood, approached him, bowed deeply, and said, "Your son greets Father Emperor!"
"..."
Yu Wenquan did not immediately respond. He carefully set down the cup before raising his eyes to him, shifting his gaze from his bloodied attire to his stern, resolute face, saying, "You—"
Before he could finish, Yu Wenye interjected, "Jiang Chong’en feigned defection, yet intended rebellion. I led troops to suppress him, captured him, and leave him to Father Emperor’s judgment; most of his people who refused to surrender were slain, and the remaining eight hundred who did surrender were captured by my men."
Yu Wenquan slightly furrowed his brows but did not immediately erupt. He only said, "What about those who just crossed the river?"
"They are the remainder who refused to surrender. I sent people to pursue them, believing that cornered at the riverbank, they would be forced to surrender. But unexpectedly—"
As he spoke, he glanced backward, his gaze growing cold.
At this moment, everyone finally understood.
