Chapter 60
Chai Yuxin glared at Lin Beifan with annoyance. It was now clear that this little rascal was just pretending.
But considering he had come all this way to rescue her, she decided to let it slide.
Not far away, two old fellows were snickering in secret, whispering to each other.
Old Chai, look at your daughter and His Majesty embracing! Ive always said it: theyre childhood sweethearts and a match made in heaven. I reckon well be drinking to their wedding soon enough!
Hahaha, I hope so!
These two old fellows were none other than the Prime Minister and the Grand General.
Upon hearing that Lin Beifan was leading troops to attack the Shang Kingdom, they did not hesitate to follow, determined to preserve their brothers lineage.
Although they spoke in hushed tones, their conversation was still overheard by Chai Yuxin.
Her face was burning with embarrassment, she wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it.
Watching Lin Beifans somewhat smug eyes, she pinched him hard.
Lin Beifan: Ow, ow, ow
A moment later, both of them had returned.
Chai Yuxin, looking at the elders who were snickering secretly, still had an unnatural expression on her face. She changed the subject and said, Father, uncle, the Emperor is leading troops to attack the Shang Kingdom, how dangerous that is! Why dont you persuade him?
Grand General Chai Yulang spread his hands and said with a wry smile, Weve already tried to persuade him, but it was no use!
Prime Minister Xiao Guoliang also gave a bitter smile: The emperor now has his own opinions; he doesnt listen to anything we say; we can only let him do as he wishes!
Daughter, your words carry more weight, so you should try to persuade him! the Grand General said.
Chai Yuxin turned her head and spoke, Your Majesty, I am safe now, can we go back?
Lin Beifan immediately shook his head, No, we cant go back!
Chai Yuxin became somewhat angry, Why cant we go back? If you continue to be so willful, you will drag all of us down! Do you really have the heart to watch our great army fall here?
What I mean is, even if we fight our way back now, its too late! They have probably already set up a huge trap, just waiting for us to jump into it! Even if we manage to break through, the casualties will be enormous!
Chai Yuxin sighed, Although the casualties will be enormous, we have no choice but to face them!
So, why dont we take the opposite approach!
How do we do the opposite?
Lin Beifans words were astonishing: Strike directly at the Shang Kingdoms capital city and take the Shang Kingdom Emperor hostage!
What? Everyone was shocked.
Taking the Shang Kingdom Emperor hostage was such an audacious idea!
Lin Beifan explained: Look, we have a total of three Innates here, Uncle Chai, you, and Liu Eunuch! But the Shang Kingdom only has two Innates! 3 to 2, we have a huge advantage!
With this, we can completely strike at the Shang Kingdoms capital city and take that old thief hostage! Once we succeed, not only can we return smoothly, but we can also reap unimaginable benefits. Why not do it?
Everyone thought it over carefully and realized that this method might actually work!
Lin Beifan smiled and said, Dont hesitate any longer! If we retreat the way we came, well suffer heavy casualties! But if we burn our bridges and fight our way to the capital city of the Shang Kingdom, we might actually reduce our losses and seize a chance for survival!
Alright! Lets do it!
The three of them were martial artists, very decisive in nature.
To buy time, well need to conquer cities and territories along the way, and that will be your responsibility! The faster we move, the greater our chances of winning!
Sure, no problem, leave it to us!
So, the grand army of the Xia Kingdom set forth once again.
They did not return by the same route but continued to conquer and advance, aiming their swords at the capital city of the Shang Kingdom.
Thanks to the intervention of three Innate experts, their progress was remarkably swift.
One city gate after another was breached, and cities swiftly changed hands, rapidly expanding the territory under Lin Beifans control.
At the same time, Lin Beifan made use of the abilities of the Empire Sandbox to locate the scouts of the Shang Kingdom and had them all killed.
As a result, their movements became much less detectable.
At this moment, the Emperor of the Shang Kingdom felt extremely dejected.
He had already ordered the mobilization of the national army, insisting that they trap the Xia Kingdoms troops in Shang Kingdom and then annihilate them completely, capturing the foolish Emperor.
But so much time had passed. How could there be no news at all?
Ask someone below to report on the current situation of the battle for me.
A day later, the message was relayed to him.
Report to Your Majesty, according to the message from General Zhao, our forces have not yet encountered the Xia Kingdoms troops!
Not encountered them?
The Emperor of Shang Kingdom wondered, puzzled. How could that be? Where could such a large army have disappeared to?
Just then, an anxious voice came from outside.
Your Majesty, its terrible, the Xia Kingdoms army has already reached the capital city!
The Emperor of the Shang Kingdom turned pale with shock: What? Theyve reached the capital city, are you joking? How could they possibly have reached the capital city? How dare they?
I wouldnt dare deceive Your Majesty, their army has already surrounded us!
The Emperor of the Shang Kingdom, with a grim face, went up to the city walls and, indeed, saw the Xia Kingdoms army already at the gates.
A 200,000-strong army, vast and mighty, with banners fluttering, an imposing sight to behold!
