974. Chapter 974 Confronting Dongfang Xu and Dongfang Chen
In the following days, Yun Jingchu followed Dongfang Xu in attacking the city and plundering the village, and continued towards the capital.
Because of the previous secret preparations, the guards in many places along the way had been bribed by Dongfang Xu or replaced by his own people. Only a few people were truly loyal to Dongfang Chen. Therefore, Dongfang Xu advanced very smoothly along the way.
Finally, on the fourth day after Yun Jingchu and Dongfang Xu reunited, the army led by Dongfang Chen arrived, and the two sides faced off in the wilderness outside Xia City.
It was early autumn, and the khaki soil and rocks in the wilderness alternated with green and yellow grass. The scenery was majestic and vast, and it could not be seen to the edge at a glance.
Although there are more than 100,000 people, the place is eerily quiet except for the sound of hunting flags blowing in the wind.
Dongfang Chen was dressed in white armor and a golden cape embroidered with nine golden dragons. He took the lead and stood at the forefront of the counter-rebellion army.
Dongfang Xu also wore white armor and a silver-white cape embroidered with an eight-clawed golden dragon, standing at the forefront of the crusade.
As soon as Dongfang Chen saw Dongfang Xu, the accumulated anger in his heart burst out: "Dongfang Xu, you traitor and traitor, how dare you rebel?! Today, I will not turn you around until I kill you."
Dongfang Xu smiled coldly, stroked the mane of the war horse, and then said slowly: "Brother, your words are a bit inconsistent. My brother is not rebelling, but represents the master of justice to fight against the debauched and unethical, and let the people live in dire straits.
You, the royal brother in the middle."
"What nonsense! How dare you fabricate lies to cover up your wolfish ambitions. If I don't kill you today, I will be sorry to the ancestors of the Dongfang family." Dongfang Chen gritted his teeth, and veins popped out in the hand holding the sword.
"Brother Emperor, whether what I said is a lie or not, the eyes of the people of the world are sharp, and they will make a judgment. However, if Brother Emperor thinks that the accusations are wrong, please ask Brother Emperor to refute it in front of the two armies.
Alright, my brother is all ears." Dongfang Xu looked at Dongfang Chen leisurely.
"You..." Dongfang Chen raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at the arrogant and determined Dongfang Xu. He was shaking with anger, but he couldn't really refute the accusations himself. If he did that, even if he won the argument, he would still be defeated.
I'm at a disadvantage. After all, many of the things I said are indeed true, and the more I describe them, the darker they become.
Someone once said that explanation is concealment. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. The right to write history is always in the hands of the winner.
In other words, as long as he wins, he will be the one to write the crime for Dongfang Xu.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Xu took a long breath and said loudly: "Is there any general willing to fight and capture the traitor Dongfang Xu for me?"
All the generals looked at each other, and then looked at Lin Qishan in unison.
Helpless, Lin Qishan could only take a step forward, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to fight."
Dongfang Chen smiled slightly and nodded with a hint of evil in his eyes: "Very good. General Lin, if you can behead Dongfang Xu, I will reward you greatly."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lin Qishan responded, then clapped his horse and rushed towards Dongfang Xu.
"His Royal Highness King Xu, please return to the army and let the general come to see General Lin." Following a clear voice, a black horse carried a general in white clothes and armor and ran away from the army behind Dongfang Xu.
Come out and greet Lin Qishan.
"Hu-" Lin Qishan was startled when he saw the person coming from the opposite side. He quickly reined in his horse and looked at the white-armored general who was charging towards him in shock.
