Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 337 - 335: Challenge of Battle
Chapter 337: Chapter 335: Challenge of Battle
This guy seemed to have realized a bit though, that one must bow their head under another’s roof.
Seeing the situation now, he couldn’t be allowed to be arrogant any longer.
If he persisted in his arrogance, it’s likely that some officials and generals of You Country would take action against him.
Did you see that old man glaring furiously at him?
Despite his age, the aura emitted by that old man was indeed shocking to him.
In summary, in one word.
If he really confronted that old man head-on, he genuinely lacked the confidence that he could take him down.
Thus, he conveniently just knelt down there and did not stand up again.
In summary, he truly understood the saying that a wise man submits to circumstances.
Humph, what a joke, even if one does not wish to be a wise man, it’s not an option.
The group of soldiers around here are not just for show.
And just at this moment, that Han-looking fellow in the middle spoke up to the little Emperor above.
"Heh, is this the hospitality of You Country?
Good, very good. Quite surprising, it indeed exceeds my expectations."
This sarcastic tone paired with a somewhat disdainful expression fully displayed the guy’s dissatisfaction with his current encounter.
At the same time, it bluntly stated that the people of You Country, from top to bottom, are all rude.
Hearing this, General Mu’s eyes widened immediately.
"Wow, never expected to find a traitor here!
Humph, wearing the skin of a Han, yet working for these barbarians, do you have no shame in speaking?
If I were your parents, I would definitely have strangled you at birth."
Upon hearing this, the corners of Lin Yi’s mouth could not help but twitch.
Goodness, General Mu’s personality was truly unique.
Of course, he didn’t dislike it; on the contrary, he felt a peculiar affinity.
Or perhaps, he found the general’s personality quite familiar.
It seemed comparable to the legendary Cheng Yaojin of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, despite the old man’s straightforward talk, if one were to carefully consider each of his actions and words, they would find that each carried significance.
Such people who combine bluntness with subtlety often possess true wisdom.
"Heh, truly an eye-opener, to think that You Country cannot distinguish between superior and inferior.
I was clearly speaking to the Emperor, yet your subordinates dare to interject so casually.
Sigh, this does show that the Emperor’s management is indeed lacking."
The guy was indeed eloquent and articulate, his words leaving General Mu red-faced and at a loss for words.
Wanting to speak again, but he dared not continue.
After all, speaking more at this time would prove the other party’s point.
This statement also left the gathered civil and military officials speechless.
One by one, their faces turned red with frustration, not knowing how to rebut.
At this time, the guy was right; clearly, he was questioning their Emperor.
But the Emperor hadn’t spoken yet, and the ministers below were all chipping in with their remarks; wasn’t this a lack of respect for hierarchy?
Nevertheless, such words were naturally something they dared not acknowledge, and they also felt irritated.
Meanwhile, the one who seemed to take joy in the misfortune was the Fourth Prince.
Hearing these words, the corners of the Fourth Prince’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up slightly.
Inside, he was filled with nothing but sneers.
This time, you’ll get what’s coming for you. Emperor, if you’re capable, continue taking it, won’t you?
Getting slapped in the face by others, huh? Ha, now you’ve been slapped in the face by this Envoy. When this matter spreads in the future, your reputation will be dragged through the mud once again.
Heh, what can an Emperor, who can’t even respond to an Envoy’s words, be capable of?
"Are you speaking to Us? What gives you the right to speak to Us?
Can you represent the lake people?
A joke, indeed. You, a Han person, actually dare to represent the barbarians in speaking to Us, which is laughable to say.
It’s already giving you face that Our Civil and Military Officials are speaking with you.
In the face of a treacherous official like you, if not for the presence of the full assembly here, We would have certainly dragged you out and beheaded you."
The Emperor’s words pushed back at him, bringing immense satisfaction to the ministers in their hearts, and turned Sun Heng’s face ashen.
He was intent on speaking out, but it was indeed the truth.
He was undoubtedly dressed as a Han person.
His joining the barbarian faction had already been scorned by the Han people.
After all, the barbarians had once carried out massive slaughters of the Han people.
It can be said that the lake people and the Han are irreconcilable enemies.
As someone who has betrayed the Han and joined the barbarians, he was committing an unforgivable crime and was spat upon by everyone.
Of course, the reason the Emperor spoke such words was not her own thoughts.
It was after listening to Lin Yi’s sentiments that she spoke out in such a manner.
Nevertheless, she also made her own modifications and did not fully adopt the words from Lin Yi’s heart.
Even so, Lin Yi was quite taken aback, raising his head to look at the Emperor, not expecting this girl to respond so quickly.
At this moment, when Sun Heng was beginning to turn pale, Agusi beside him snorted coldly:
"Hmph, a bunch of bullies who only know how to gang up on others, what’s the use of all this talk here?
If you dare, let’s have a fair fight, one-on-one. If I, Agusi, back down, I’ll take off my head and give it to you as a wine jug!"
Barbarians will be barbarians, always thinking of nothing but fighting and killing.
While he said this, his gaze was firmly on Lin Yi and General Mu behind him.
The implication in that look was clear: if you have the guts, let’s have a one-on-one fight outside, a righteous and proper battle.
However, Lin Yi did not respond at all, not even glancing at the other party.
He had just taken action to teach him a lesson in manners, what right did he have now to speak to him?
General Mu shared the same sentiment, with a look of disdain, not taking the other party’s words seriously at all.
Seeing this, Agusi grew even angrier.
He directly pulled out a scroll from his bosom and addressed the Emperor:
"You don’t even have the courage to fight me, cowards, you’re all cowards!
Since that’s the case, I’ll lay out the stance of our Khan clearly. This is our Khan’s declaration of war.
Some time ago, our Second Prince and the young prince were both harmed by you, and our Khan is very dissatisfied with this.
Three months from now, our Khan will lead his troops to march directly on the Capital City, to avenge our princes and wash away their humiliation."
Looking down at the scroll held in the hand of the man below, the Civil and Military Officials of the entire court were stunned.
They did not expect this man to be so direct.
To actually issue a declaration of war right here on the spot.
