Jiang Zhongxing felt that if he were in the position of the Emperor Eritus, he would never run away; if captured, he would undoubtedly commit suicide imdiately.
As a monarch, how can one neglect the country’s grand sche and the lives of the people just to survive?
He had insisted on defending the city up to now, and reinforcents had already arrived; the promising situation was completely ruined by this foolish ruler!
At that mont, Jiang Zhongxing suddenly rembered what his son had once said to him. He was loyal to Great Chu, but it didn’t necessarily an he had to be loyal to the monarch!
The monarch and Great Chu are not always the sa thing.
At this mont, Jiang Zhongxing deeply realized this point.
To be loyal to the monarch is to betray Great Chu, to be loyal to Great Chu is to betray the monarch.
Where to go from here?
And this monarch is still his own uncle!
By this ti, the sky was already bright, and the soldiers in the Jin Army camp had lined up and were soon marching towards the city gate.
Jiang Zhongxing stood atop the city wall, squinting, and shouted, "Enemy attack, all units prepare!"
He stared at the Jin Army below, and suddenly noticed a very conspicuous object among the troops, disrupting the neatness of the Jin formations.
A bright yellow Silk Umbrella mixed in, its color so vivid that it was impossible to ignore.
Jiang Zhongxing gritted his teeth as he watched the umbrella.
He coldly observed the Jin Army advancing, ready to order his soldiers to use Bed Crossbows as soon as they ca within range.
However, the Jin Army stopped just before entering the range.
The Yellow Silk Umbrella moved slowly, eventually from the middle of the formation to the very front, then continued forward.
It stopped only beneath the city walls.
At this mont, a sharp voice amplified by a loudspeaker rang out, "The Emperor Eritus of Great Chu is here. The Emperor Eritus orders the officers and soldiers within the city to open the gates imdiately, to welco him back into the city, and to invite the Jin Country envoys in for peace talks."
Jiang Zhongxing’s expression was icy, and he made a decision instantly. With a gesture, his personal soldier handed him a bow.
This bow was much larger than those used by the soldiers, with a pitch-black, glossy body.
Jiang Zhongxing took an arrow, slowly drawing the bow, the curve like a full moon, aid straight at the Yellow Silk Umbrella. The umbrella was large, completely shrouding the person beneath.
He emotionlessly instructed the soldier beside him, "Shout."
"Shout that the Emperor Eritus is in the Imperial Palace, and don’t think that just by having a Yellow Silk Umbrella, you can impersonate the Emperor Eritus."
The soldier also took a loudspeaker and shouted towards the bottom of the wall, "Our Emperor Eritus is safely in the palace, Jin savages don’t speak nonsense, don’t think that just by having a Yellow Silk Umbrella, you can impersonate the Emperor Eritus."
Wanyan Zhang squinted upon hearing the shouts, "Remove the umbrella, reveal the Emperor Eritus’ face to the soldiers on the wall!"
"Let them see clearly!"
The umbrella was swiftly removed, revealing the face of the Emperor Eritus.
The supervisor not far from Jiang Zhongxing was shocked, "It’s really the Emperor Eritus!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a pitch-black feathered arrow shooting straight towards the Emperor Eritus.
The supervisor was montarily speechless, watching as the arrow ca closer and closer to the Emperor Eritus.
The Emperor Eritus suddenly pulled the eunuch beside him in front, and at that mont, the feathered arrow hit the eunuch’s chest.
The Emperor Eritus, hiding behind the eunuch, shouted, "Zhongxing, is that you?"
"I am the Emperor Eritus, also your uncle, it’s truly not an impostor!"
Jiang Zhongxing was expressionless, again took another arrow, and continued to shoot at the Emperor Eritus.
This arrow hit the eunuch once more.
