Chapter 394 Bamboo can be burned but not destroyed
"you you..."
Ye Zhiyu was so ridiculed that he almost made Situ Wen vomit blood.
Pointing at Ye Zhiyu with a trembling hand, he cursed angrily: "J person! J person! You...don't forget that his beloved concubine of Nan Yanxi is my niece Situ Yan."
"Her whole family was beheaded back then. Although you were not directly involved, you could not escape your involvement..."
"And you've been with me for so many years, who knows if anything has happened between us."
"I just need to add some fuel and jealousy to see if Nan Yanxi will still trust you like before!"
"Ah!" Ye Zhiyu spat hard when he heard this, and pointed at Situ Wen: "You have the nerve to say this!"
"The prince was slandered by you as a rebel, and you falsely conveyed the imperial decree and was unjustly killed. Do you think I am a girl who doesn't understand?"
"Back then, you falsely conveyed imperial edicts, revised the late emperor's edicts, usurped the throne, and unjustly killed the entire family. Do you still want to keep it a secret?"
"I'm afraid you don't know that 80% of the civil and military officials in your Daxia court are now serving in our Ming Dynasty. They have already explained what happened to you back then!"
"Also...my aunt had already retired for more than a year before you did these outrageous and wicked things. You still want to slander me?"
"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense here!" Situ Wen was shocked. This matter was too subtle and extremely sensitive.
In the past, when Daxia was stable and Situ Wen's throne was stable, anyone who said this would definitely be beheaded on the spot and would be defined as slander.
But now Situ Wen's Daxia is already on the verge of collapse and is about to be destroyed.
Some people said this again, especially the officials and soldiers who were guarding the place.
I'm afraid it will spread among the people immediately and make the already demoralized army even more depressed.
It will have a huge impact on his rule.
Situ Wen quickly interrupted Ye Zhiyu's words, pointed at her and cursed angrily: "Okay, let's see if they want to believe you or me!"
"Don't worry, I didn't remind you. Once suspicion arises, it won't go away. It will only get worse!"
"When the time comes, you will regret it..."
"Oh? Really..."
Just as Situ Wen finished speaking, he saw the man wearing a cloak next to Ye Zhiyu suddenly spoke.
The voice was clear and sweet, and it sounded like a girl. Situ Wen felt familiar and couldn't help but look down.
The girl took off the cloak on her head and sneered at Situ Wen: "Haha... My good uncle, are you okay?"
This person is none other than Situ Yan, who came with Ye Zhiyu, the daughter of the Crown Prince of Daxia and the Princess of Yanyang.
Situ Wen suddenly panicked and couldn't help but wonder to himself, could it be that...his counter-intentional plan failed?
Is the trust between them so strong? Are they not jealous of each other when they serve the same husband?
With this thought in his mind, Situ Wen laughed twice, calmed down his emotions, and then said to Situ Yan at the foot of the city: "Yan'er... is that you Yan'er?"
"Oh...where have you been all these years? Uncle, I have been looking for you and worried about you..."
"Really, uncle..." Situ Yan sneered: "You have been looking for me? Are you trying to get rid of the weeds?"
"Why are you worried about me... I think you are worried that the things you have done will be exposed, which will affect your throne!"
Hearing this, Situ Wendu in the city pretended to be heartbroken and said sadly: "Yan'er...how can you miss your uncle so much?"
"Uncle, I have been worried about you and want to get you back to take care of you! Uncle knows that your father's rebellion has absolutely nothing to do with you."
"Uncle will not blame you, you have to believe it! After all, blood between us is thicker than water!"
"Bah!" Listening to his sophistry, Situ Yan felt disgusted.
He spat fiercely, pointed at Situ Wen upstairs and cursed: "Traitor! How dare you say that blood is thicker than water!"
"Back then, you tampered with the emperor's imperial edict, slandered my father as a traitor, and killed my whole family, even my five-year-old brother and my eight-month pregnant mother and concubine!"
"If it weren't for my loyal guard who fought to the death to protect me, I would have been beheaded by you long ago."
"You are still talking here today about blood being thicker than water? When you killed my family and your brother's family, did you ever think that blood is thicker than water?"
The more Situ Yan scolded, the more excited she became. She pointed at Situ Wen on the tower: "Traitor! You have presumed to be the king of a generation, and Daxia has become what it is today because of your hands."
"Don't you hear the ancients say that jade can be broken but its whiteness cannot be changed; bamboo can be burned but its joints cannot be destroyed; even if the body dies, the name can be hung on the bamboo and silk!"
"The country is in ruins. You don't think about introspection. In this final decisive battle, you don't think about good strategies. You actually imitate the shrew of the city and do what you do to sow discord!"
"Today I came here to use all these words to scold you! So that you will know how bad you are!"
After saying that, someone turned and pointed at the defenders on the city and shouted: "Guardians on the city, listen! The 20,000 troops in Liangguan are besieged by 150,000 of my elite troops. They won't last long at all."
"There are also 150,000 elite troops under Liangzhou City now. When Liang Pass is broken and the two armies join forces, you will face an army of 300,000 troops."
"Today, Emperor Ming, Emperor Nan Yanxi, tells you that as long as you capture Situ Wen and surrender, I, Emperor Ming, promise not to hurt anyone."
"At the same time, as long as all the defenders in the city are willing to surrender, the whole army will be upgraded to one level regardless of their generals!"
"If you don't surrender, tens of thousands of my cannons will fire together and raze Liangzhou City to the ground! Kill them all! No chickens or dogs will be left behind!"
"I'll give you an hour to think about it!"
After saying that, Situ Yan stretched out her hand and pointed fiercely at Situ Wen on the city, then ignored him and everyone turned their horses and headed back towards the main formation.
Situ Wen's furious shouting came from behind: "Hey...come back...I haven't finished talking yet...come back! Don't leave...!"
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot them! Are you deaf? Why don't you shoot the arrows...! What...what do you want to do..."
Ye Zhiyu and Situ Yan led the army back, dismounted and returned to the commander's tent.
Nan Yanxi, who was leisurely enjoying tea in the house and working as a shopkeeper, heard the sound of two women talking in the distance.
"Huh...it feels so good to scold me just now...all the anger I have been holding in my heart for so many years has come out...it feels so good!"
"Yes, yes, that traitor's face turned purple with anger, like pig liver... Hahaha... Sister Ye is so awesome!"
"You are still talking about me, you are the best..." Ye Zhiyu said with admiration in his tone: "I didn't expect that, Yan'er, you usually look so elegant..."
"You have to do the same thing when you scold people. You can burn bamboo but don't destroy its integrity... It's amazing... You are worthy of being born into a royal family, and it's different from us ordinary people..."
