Chapter 99
Xu Xijie struggled for ten days ahead, and the tenth city of Tianyuan Kingdom fell, leaving only two cities.

On the 15th, No. 11 cities were lost, leaving only [-] of the [-] troops led by Xu Xijie.

The people of Tianyuan Kingdom who stayed in the capital fled to the nearby villages one after another, and the entire capital almost became an empty city.

The atmosphere in the court was gloomy, and everyone felt the fear of imminent national subjugation.

Yu Wan sat in the court hall, looked at the few courtiers below, and asked, "Why are there less than a hundred people in court today?"

"Back to the emperor, Mr. Liu from the household department is ill, Zhang Shilang's wife gave birth, and Mr. Wang said that he fell when he went out..."

Ling Yuan took out a booklet, which recorded the reasons for leave of all officials who did not go to court.

The reasons were various and strange, Yu Wan smiled without saying a word, and said after listening, "Since these adults are so busy, they should all go home, and they don't have to go to court in the future."

If you don't go to court, aren't you afraid that the new emperor of Yinxu Kingdom will settle accounts after he invades the city?
"What's the situation with General Xu?"

"General Xu will be in the capital today..."

Yu Wan immediately got up when she heard this, and said, "Call everyone, follow me to meet the general."

"General Xu failed His Majesty's entrustment, do you still want to go?" Wei Wuzheng was a little dissatisfied, and said: "Your Majesty, now we should send someone to talk to the new emperor of Yinxu Kingdom. See if he is willing to leave us Tianyuan Kingdom fate."

"No need. If Prime Minister Wei doesn't want to go with you, then there's no need to go."

Putting these words aside, Yu Wan was the first to leave the hall.

Under the scorching sun, fine beads of sweat covered Yu Wan's forehead. Ling Yuan handed over a cup of tea and persuaded: "Your Majesty, you should go back to the palace first, and wait outside...what if you meet an assassin?"

"Do you think I'm still worthy of being assassinated?" Yu Wan smiled disdainfully and said, "I just want to thank Xu Xijie before I die."

Ling Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed across.

"Before you die? Do you think you are going to die?"

"Do you think I won't die?"

Yu Wan lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said in a flat tone, "Even if I don't die, my mission has failed."

'Task two, defend Tianyuan Kingdom for ten years. '

It has been less than a year now, and she has been beaten almost to the ground by the rebels from the neighboring country, and she has no power to fight back.

No matter how you think about it, this task is unsolvable.

Ling Yuan glanced at the desolate scene on the street behind him, he also sighed, and comforted him: "Maybe there is a turning point?"

"A turning point? Do you believe it?"

"This……"

Ling Yuan was silent.

He knew that Yu Wan, the executor, had a high IQ, so such clumsy consolation would only make the atmosphere worse.

stomping on-

The sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind, and the sound was even clearer in the already empty city.

Yu Wan and Ling Yuan turned their heads at the same time, only to see Wei Wuzheng rushing towards the city gate with a thousand soldiers.

"Call-"

Wei Wuzheng rode on a tall horse, the horse raised its hooves and neighed, and stopped in front of Yu Wan.

"Prime Minister Wei, what do you mean?" Ling Yuan stepped forward and asked.

"What do you mean? I'm here to save Tianyuan Kingdom!"

Wei Wuzheng didn't come down immediately, his voice was full of disdain, he said: "The emperor is sitting here waiting for General Xu, then this minister will tell His Majesty that General Xu will not come."

"What do you mean?" Yu Wan sat still on the chair, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Let's not talk about whether General Xu can arrive, I'm curious why Prime Minister Wei didn't get off his horse and bow down when he saw me?"

Didn't you say that you have a cold leg?
At this moment, Wei Wuzheng's footsteps on the stirrup look very strong and powerful, how can he look sick?
"The emperor still wants me to kneel down? Are you worthy?"

Wei Wuzheng raised his chin and said, "An incompetent emperor still wants others to submit to him? It's just wishful thinking!"

"Oh, it seems that Prime Minister Wei is planning to turn against him?" Yu Wan asked with a chuckle.

"That's right!" Wei Wuzheng admitted generously without even a single rebuttal, and said, "Hurry up and hand over the jade seal, and I may consider keeping your whole body!"

A chill suddenly felt on Yu Wan's neck, and at some point a servant beside her took out a dagger and laid it across her throat.

"You—you are so courageous!" Seeing that it was his subordinate, Ling Yuan scolded angrily, "How dare you!"

"Eunuch Ling, it's already come to this, why are you still pretending?" The little eunuch holding the dagger said disdainfully: "You also planned to rebel against the emperor? It's just that we succeeded first! There is no need for you to show off now. "

"You—" Ling Yuan only uttered one word, but he didn't say another word with his eyes filled with sternness.

It was obvious that what this little eunuch said was true.

Seeing this scene, Wei Wuzheng became even more presumptuous, saying: "Yu Wan, quickly hand over the jade seal, or I won't be polite to you!"

"It's okay to hand over the jade seal." Yu Wan nodded, as if he didn't intend to resist at all, and said, "I just want to ask one thing."

"what?"

"Does Mr. Wei know about this?"

When Wei Wuzheng mentioned his son, anger flashed across Wei Wuzheng's face, and he said: "If he is willing to cooperate, do you think you can live to this day? Men are incompetent. If you commit yourself to you, you think you are a god. How stupid!"

Very early on, Wei Wuzheng asked someone to convey his intentions to Wei Mingxin. Originally, Wei Wuzheng planned to let Wei Mingxin poison the emperor, and announced that he was pregnant, so that he could take over the Tianyuan Kingdom in a legitimate way.

Unfortunately, when Wei Mingxin was informed of this plan, he was opposed.

This is why Wei Wuzheng waited so long before taking action.

"You should thank the old man's son well. If it weren't for his stupidity, you might not be able to live for so long!"

"I am very pleased."

A gentle smile appeared on Yu Wan's lips, as if she had gotten a satisfactory answer.

"Now, hand over Yuxi!"

"hurry up!"

The pain on the neck became more and more obvious, and Yu Wan could feel that his neck was bleeding.

"Okay, here you are." Yu Wan took out a palm-sized square box from her wide sleeve, and said, "I hope Prime Minister Wei can keep his promise."

"That's natural!" Wei Wuzheng's eyes lit up when he saw the wooden box in Yu Wan's hand.

With Yuxi, he can justifiably take over Tianyuan Kingdom.

He was about to order someone to take over the wooden box from Yu Wan, when Yu Wan suddenly took it back.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"Prime Minister Wei, don't get me wrong. I'm just curious. Now that the Yinxu Kingdom is pressing harder and harder, and the capital is able to leave everyone, are you really capable of turning the tide and defending the Tianyuan Kingdom? There are only a few thousand soldiers behind you, right?"

Wei Wuzheng burst out laughing after hearing this, with even more disdain in his eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you really naive to think that I only have these few people? Let me tell you, I have 5 troops stationed outside the city, which is enough Resist Yinxu Kingdom’s attack!”

 I was sick yesterday and had an injection and slept at home. Sorry!Please forgive me dears.
