Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 341 - 339: Done!
Chapter 341: Chapter 339: Done!
At this moment, Agusi’s eyes were filled with fury, ignoring Sun Heng’s gaze.
In short, he couldn’t bear it any longer at this very moment, this was a blatant insult to him.
How could he possibly tolerate such contempt?
Because of this, he immediately stood up, and then addressed the little Emperor above.
"Do not bully us too far. Can the warriors of the Grassland be trampled upon as you please?
Ha ha, what a joke.
Even if you bring twice the number of enemies, what does it matter?
Let’s do this, I will put it plainly today: we will only send out 1000 cavalrymen, and you are welcome to send your men, at least 2000. If fewer, it would be an underestimation of me."
As these words were spoken, Sun Heng really wanted to kick the other party, thinking how he loathed having such a pig-headed teammate.
However, the words were already spoken, and it was not realistic to change them. To go back on one’s word at this time would seem petty.
At this point, Sun Heng could only hope that the soldiers of You Country were utterly weak.
Otherwise, the losses could be heavy indeed.
Even if the soldiers of You Country were all weaklings, the casualties this time would certainly not be a small number.
Originally, if it was a one-on-0.5 chance, his side might not lose a few warriors in the end.
But now, if they were facing 2000 with 1000, they might suffer a loss of several hundred men at least.
That was something he definitely didn’t want to see, but at this point, there was nothing he could do.
"Heh, quite arrogant. But in the face of you vermin, since I, the Emperor, have spoken, it would not be good to change my words.
Let’s settle for that, three days from now, we’ll see you outside the city.
That’s all, you may withdraw."
At this moment, the little Emperor obviously didn’t want to deal with the other side any longer.
And after the Emperor’s words, the soldiers on both sides of the hall took a synchronized step forward.
The oppressive atmosphere made the three men have no choice but to retreat.
Even though Agusi wanted to say something more, he was eagerly pulled back by Sun Heng.
After they left the hall, Agusi looked resentfully at Sun Heng beside him, shook off his hand, and then spoke viciously:
"Sun, what exactly do you want to do? Why did you stop me just now?
The Emperor of You Country is clearly humiliating our warriors.
We cannot tolerate such a thing.
The warriors of the Grassland would rather bleed than submit."
At this time, Sun Heng gave a stern glare.
Regardless, the outcome was beyond his expectations, and to his great delight.
For this reason, he didn’t speak much with the brute, especially since they were still within the Imperial Palace. How could they dare to say too much?
If they managed to provoke anyone or said something out of place now, they probably wouldn’t be able to leave the palace alive today.
"Let’s talk after we return."
After saying this, he took the lead and headed out of the palace, not speaking another word to Agusi.
Looking back at the hall at this moment, as soon as the three people left, it became noisy instantly.
Everyone looked at each other, whispering, all showing urgent expressions.
Of course, three people were exceptions.
One was the little Emperor; the second was Lin Yi.
As for the third person with a very calm expression, even somewhat pleased, it was the Fourth Prince.
At this moment, the Fourth Prince was extremely delighted in his heart.
It was obvious that the Emperor would send the Imperial Camp to meet the challenge.
In doing so, it would greatly weaken the power of the Sixth Prince.
At this time, the little Emperor was no longer of concern, and what truly made him wary was the Sixth Prince, who commanded heavy forces.
If the Sixth Prince’s soldiers were completely destroyed, it would be extremely beneficial to him without a single disadvantage.
As for whether the Emperor would send his trusted aides, it was not even worth thinking about; it was absolutely impossible.
What he could think of, the little Emperor would be clearer about, and could also think more clearly.
At this time, it was absolutely crucial not to weaken his own forces by any amount.
Leaving the thoughts of the Fourth Prince aside for now, back to the matters of the court above.
Everyone wore anxious expressions, concerned about how to respond in three days.
General Mu also frowned deeply, feeling very anxious.
He wanted to speak directly, but feared making the Emperor lose face and thereby diminishing his authority.
Therefore, he decided to seek an audience with His Majesty after the court session to thoroughly analyze the pros and cons.
If worse came to worst, he would have to lead 2000 troops into battle himself.
As for the Emperor’s suggestion of 500 against 1000, it was simply impossible.
At present, the soldiers of You Country were generally lacking in combat strength.
Moreover, which of the Grassland’s men was not formidable?
"Heh, my dear officials, no need for anxiety. Since I have already agreed, I naturally have my plans.
You need not worry about this matter. Just do your duties well and manage the preparations for the martial contest happening in three days.
The Ministry of War is responsible for setting up the Martial Arts Arena outside the city.
The Ministry of Revenue will prepare military pay, to reward the meritorious soldiers.
The Ministry of Rites must also be ready, we cannot discredit the dignity of our Imperial Family."
Following the Emperor’s instructions, the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War stepped forward, both echoing their acknowledgment.
During this time, Lin Yi also stepped forward and gave a bow to the Emperor.
After all, the Ministry of Rites was still under his control at the moment.
Thus, this matter naturally fell upon him.
"My dear officials, do you have any other reports? If not, you may leave the court."
After these words, without waiting for anyone to speak up, the Emperor stood up and walked out of the hall.
Seeing this, those who wanted to speak had no choice but to swallow their words.
Only General Mu, seeing Lin Yi about to leave, quickly grabbed hold of him.
"Brother Lin, do not hurry. This old brother has some words he wishes to discuss with you."
