You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 109 Murong Haoxuan's Request

Upon hearing Wei Yongkang's explanation, Xuemei realized what was happening and looked at Yingchen with a strange expression.

"When did you send troops to attack the Blood Barbarian Dynasty...?"

Her usually cool face was full of curiosity.

Ying Chen smiled slightly: "When I came to the Murong family, I had already issued the decree. As for when to attack the Blood Barbarian Dynasty..."

"Today..."

Ying Chen smiled mysteriously and continued, "By all accounts, the Qin army should have already invaded the Blood Barbarian Dynasty's territory by now..."

"Good news will arrive soon..."

"What? Today?"

Lu Tai exclaimed in surprise, stood up, and stared at Ying Chen with wide eyes.

If that's the case, then their Blood Barbarian Dynasty still exists.

He looked at Ying Chen, swallowed hard, and then, as if he had made up his mind, knelt down on the ground.

His move left everyone present dumbfounded.

What's going on here?

"Waaah, Your Majesty the Qin Emperor, please forgive us for our petty transgressions and spare our Blood Barbarian Dynasty!"

"My Blood Barbarian Dynasty is willing to submit to Great Qin and will never betray it. Every year, my Blood Barbarian Dynasty will offer a large amount of resources to Great Qin..."

Before the others could react, Lu Tai began to cry out loudly.

She said this while crying.

Given Lu Tai's status in the Blood Barbarian Dynasty, he naturally had no right to decide to pledge allegiance to other forces.

However, he had no other choice now; this was the only way to save the Blood Barbarian Dynasty.

If His Majesty knew, he probably wouldn't blame me!

After all, I'm doing this for the survival of the Blood Barbarian Dynasty!

Everyone present looked at Ying Chen, wanting to see what decision he would make.

The question is whether to accept the surrender of the Blood Barbarian Dynasty or continue the attack on it.

"Heh! Who do you think you are? You dare to represent the Blood Barbarian Dynasty?"

Before Ying Chen could speak, Cao Zhengchun, who was behind him, spoke first.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present realized what he meant.

That's right. Lu Tai was just a minor official in the Blood Barbarian Dynasty. How could he be qualified to represent the Blood Barbarian Dynasty in surrendering to the Great Qin?

For a moment, everyone looked at Lu Tai and his group with scrutiny.

Lu Tai's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face turned pale.

"Your Majesty, in this urgent situation, we must act expediently and make exceptions. I believe Your Majesty will understand my predicament..."

In the end, Lu Tai still forced himself to speak.

"Tch, you were so confident just now, we thought you really could be the master of the Blood Barbarian Emperor?"

"I didn't expect you to be playing the 'act first, report later' game!"

"What, you think my brothers are easy to fool?"

Murong Haoxuan scoffed, looking at Lu Tai with disdain and mocking him.

"This...Young Master Murong, you can't say that..."

Upon hearing Murong Haoxuan's mockery, Lu Tai immediately became anxious and hurriedly tried to defend himself.

"Even if His Majesty knew what I had done, he would surely understand me. And even if His Majesty didn't understand, the officials of my Blood Barbarian Dynasty would certainly understand me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the officials of the Blood Barbarian Dynasty nodded vigorously.

They weren't thinking about the future of the Blood Barbarian Emperor; they were simply reluctant to give up their current status.

If the Blood Barbarian Dynasty were to be annexed by the Great Qin, all their current strength would vanish.

This is unacceptable to them, who are used to being high and mighty.

"Tch, I'm too embarrassed to call you out!"

Murong Haoxuan curled his lip in disdain, ignoring them, and turned his gaze to Ying Chen, saying, "Brother, what do you plan to do?"

"Of course, we'll proceed according to the original plan..."

Ying Chen remained expressionless and spoke.

"If we annex the Blood Barbarian Dynasty, everything in it will belong to me. Isn't that more beneficial than keeping the Blood Barbarian Dynasty around?"

"Hahaha, brother! We're on the same page! What merit or ability does this Blood Barbarian Dynasty have to submit to the Great Qin? I think they're just dreaming..."

Murong Haoxuan burst out laughing, rubbing his hands together with a lewd expression. He hooked his arm around Ying Chen's shoulder and whispered, "Brother, what do you think of our relationship?"

Ying Chen was a little confused by his series of actions, and subtly removed the hand that was hooked on his shoulder.

"Our relationship... well, I'd say it's alright!"

Ying Chen said hesitantly.

Murong Haoxuan wasn't annoyed when his arm was removed, but continued, "Since you put it that way, then I'd like to ask you for a favor, is that alright?"

Murong Haoxuan looked at Ying Chen expectantly, his eyes gleaming with an unusual light.

"You, you say!"

Ying Chen felt a little uncomfortable under his intense gaze and couldn't help but wonder if he had some kind of unusual fetish.

At this moment, Ying Chen was terrified that Murong Haoxuan would say to him, "Brother, you smell so good!"

"Well... um, I want to experience what it's like to lead an army into battle, I wonder... hehe!"

Having said that, Ying Chen had his answer and let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

As long as they don't have ulterior motives towards him, it's fine.

"Brother Murong, do you want to get involved in this war?"

Ying Chen's expression turned serious, and he spoke.

Murong Haoxuan nodded vigorously and said expectantly, "Is it okay?"

"It is possible, but let me make this clear from the start: I cannot allow you to lead an army on your own. At most, I can only appoint you as a deputy general, and you cannot interfere with the commander's command in battle!"

"If I discover that you have arbitrarily interfered with the army's command, leading to its defeat, don't blame me for disregarding our past relationship..."

Ying Chen said in a deep voice, although the chances of this happening were extremely low, he still warned Murong Haoxuan.

"Yes, yes, as long as you let me participate in this war, I'm willing to be a lowly soldier!"

Murong Haoxuan said excitedly.
