Chapter 539 Emotional loss of control
Bolton left Danyu City and was immediately summoned by Perseus as soon as he returned to the palace.
In the palace hall, except for the second prince Andre who is still recovering from illness, all the senior personnel involved in the decision-making of the Danyu City incident are here.
Perseus had already listened to the entire report. He seemed to be frozen at this moment. He sat motionless on the throne and stared directly at Bolton who was kneeling in front of him.
The surrounding atmosphere was deathly silent, everyone's eyes were wide open, cold sweat was pouring from their foreheads, and it seemed that they could even hear the heavy breathing and heartbeat.
I don’t know how long it took, but Perseus finally moved. He leaned forward slightly, his dark pupils almost spread to the entire irises, and his voice was so low that it was difficult to distinguish: "What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."
Bolton, who was kneeling on one knee, lowered his eyes and said silently: "I failed to burn the wheat straw and plant the blood essence grass. I gave away all the 360,000 tons of food to the civilians."
Perseus fell into a long silence again. After a while, he waved to Bolton: "You, you, come up, come up, come up next to me and talk."
Bolton stood up and stepped onto the steps and walked to Perseus. Just as he was about to say it again, a black shadow suddenly flashed past.
"Bang!!!" Bolton was slapped hard on the face. The huge force directly exploded the flesh on his cheek, blood flowed out, and the whole person rolled down the steps in embarrassment.
"Do you know what you did??!!" Perseus was so angry that his eyes were red. He walked down the steps and grabbed Bolton by the collar, and slapped him again until his other cheek was covered in blood.
, roaring like a manic lion, "I gave you an order to plant blood essence grass at all costs. I even gave you a blank oracle, and you did this to me?!"
Bolton endured the severe pain and gritted his teeth and said: "If we plant Blood Essence Grass in Danyu Plain, there will be a food shortage period of up to eight months, but the food I brought is so small, it is only enough for the people of Danyu City to eat for two days.
Months. If you burn the wheat straw in the fields and there is no food for the next six months, what do you want the people to do?!"
Perseus glared angrily and shouted: "You ask me what to do? I ask you what to do! If we don't plant blood essence grass, then millions of infected people will get out of control in the epidemic areas across the kingdom, and the entire Doguland will fall into annihilation.
disaster!"
"A country or a city, which is more important? You have been a general for so many years, and you don't even have this ability to judge?! Your eyes only see a few people in Danyu City, and all the hundreds of millions of people in the entire kingdom.
You can’t even see it, can you?!”
Bolton had been filled with evil fire in Danyu City, and he had nowhere to vent his frustration. At this time, his temper completely exploded, and he shouted back at Perseus: "The soldiers I brought here are not used to beat my own countrymen."
of!"
"Those civilians are so hungry that they are eating unripe green wheat ears and gnawing raw wheat stalks in the fields. Many of them are children who have not yet grown up! Do you want me to ignore these people and burn them with their bodies and wheat?"
Hui, this makes you satisfied, right?!"
Perseus' arm trembled, and he shook Bolton vigorously and asked: "You are so weak now, how to solve the problem? Where can I get the blood essence grass needed to make the purifying blood?!"
Bolton pushed Perseus' hand away with force and said angrily: "There are many ways! Steal! If not, grab it! Don't the Far Eastern Dynasty have a lot of Blood Essence Grass? There is an embargo on us, right? Then attack! Attack Enter the mainland of the dynasty and snatch the Blood Essence Grass! Or beat them until they lift the ban!"
Perseus was so angry that he almost lost his breath: "I really can't believe that this was actually said by a prince?! In this current situation of internal and external troubles, you still want to start an invasion war? Are you? Aren’t you just happy to see Dogulande perish?!”
Bolton roared angrily: "Nothing is better than now! What's the point of bullying civilians?! I would rather be an invader than embarrass the people of the kingdom! Even if I die with the soldiers on the way to attack the Far East, I will not do anything to myself. The compatriots waved their butcher’s knives!”
Perseus was so angry that he pushed Bolton out and shouted: "Here comes! Remove his general title and put him in the dungeon! Don't feed him a drop of water without my order!"
At this moment, the imperial guards present are really hard to behave. Most of them are orthodox soldiers. Even if they have not served as soldiers under Bolton, they still have a good impression of this general. What's more, they are even Bolton. He was personally recommended by Dun, but now he wants to detain the seventh prince who had the kindness to meet him. I really feel bad.
But there is no way. Regardless of their origins or interpersonal relationships, the imperial guards can only be loyal to one person in this life, and that is His Majesty the King. No matter whether the King's orders are reasonable or not, they are not allowed to disobey or question them.
The nearby royal guards could only whisper "I'm sorry" to Bolton, then grab him and drag him out.
Bolton was also a temperamental person. He lost his mind in anger and yelled at Perseus directly: "Tyrant! Cold-blooded and ruthless, he abandoned his compatriots and now he can't even listen to his son's heartfelt words! Even if Doguland is destroyed, it will be destroyed. He will definitely die in your hands!"
Perseus only felt a surge of blood rushing to the top of his head. He snatched the sword of a royal guard with his backhand and stabbed Bolton angrily: "Seeking death!!!"
The ministers and imperial guards were frightened and rushed forward one after another.
Lan Xian and others hurriedly grabbed Perseus, pulling his arm and pressing his sword.
The imperial guards quickly pulled Bolton out of the reach of the sword, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.
Bolton was as stubborn as an ox when he had a temper. He didn't know how to advance or retreat, and he had no sense of propriety. He kicked the royal guard away with force, directly pressed his neck against Perseus' sword, and cursed: "Pretend! Keep pretending! More than 600 You can disregard the life and death of thousands of people, so what am I worth in your eyes? Tyrant, kill me if you have the guts! Come on!!!"
The veins on Perseus's forehead were pulsing, and his eyes were as red as a furious lion. If the minister and the royal guards hadn't been holding on desperately, the long sword in his hand would have pierced Bolton long ago.
Sting was so angry that he was shaking all over. He slapped Bolton hard, grabbed his collar and roared: "He is your father! The father who brought you up!! You talk to him like this??! !”
Before Bolton could speak, he suddenly heard a "clang".
I saw the long sword in Perseus' hand falling to the ground, his hands could not stop shaking, his face was so pale that there was no blood, he covered his heart with a painful expression, and his whole body collapsed.
"Your Majesty?!" The ministers suddenly panicked and hurriedly supported Perseus, shouting in panic, "Go and call the doctor!!!"
If Bolton's blood was boiling just now, like a ignited explosive barrel, and now Perseus suddenly fell ill and fell to the ground, this scene was like a basin of cold water being poured on his head. He was suddenly frightened and confused, and ran up to the house crying.
Before: "Father?"
"Bang!!!" As soon as Bolton ran out, he was knocked to the ground by Sting's slap.
Sting was also so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still maintained his basic rationality. He pointed at Bolton's nose and cursed: "Go away! Don't let His Majesty see you! Go to the dungeon and reflect carefully. If you dare to escape without permission,
