BXBX NOVEL Chapter 587 – The Singing of the Empty City 5
“That’s impossible. That is absolutely impossible. How can there be 400,000 troops approaching Sheng Jing? At this moment, Han Fei and the others are still thousands of miles away. Although you can fool others, you won’t fool me.”
The Ministry of War of the South Courtyard troops sneered as he continued. He was in a cohort with Yelu Ji.
Han Fei and the others are still slowly escorting army provisions to Sheng Jing. They can’t fly so how would they be able to arrive at Sheng Jing in such a short period of time? What a joke!
Liu Yue swept her gaze across the Ministry of War of the South Courtyard. She coldly laughed, “I’m deceiving you? What qualifications do you have for me to try to deceive you? I would never joke around with a dead person.”
Her cold voice was still floating in the air when a silver light flashed within the fire. A few small knives flew through the air, straight at the Ministry of War. The knives slid across the Ministry of War’s throat, leaving behind a bright red streak of blood on his neck. The knives then firmly planted itself on the wall behind him.
His eyes rolled to the back of his head. The Ministry of War didn’t even struggle before immediately losing consciousness.
“Coward.” When Liu Yue saw his actions or the lack therefore, she coldly threw those two words out.
It was merely a red mark across his neck. Yet, he was frightened to the point where he fainted. He really is a disgrace.
The hall became silent.
No one dared to even speak another word.
What a joke! Even if Yelu Ji has 100,000 troops, by the time they get here, they would all be killed by Liu Yue.
Yelu Ji has a son, he has someone to continue his family lineage. But they don’t have someone to continue their family lineage.
They aren’t willing to exchange their life for Yelu Ji’s victory against Liu Yue. They aren’t crazy or insane. They value their life and want to live it to the fullest.
No one uttered a single word, including the people in cohorts with Yelu Ji.
Her cold eyes swept across the officials who kept silent. Liu Yue retrieved some of the killing intent she had released. She slowly said, “My heart is completely loyal to Bei Mu. When I heard that Empress Dowager Xiao was attacked by an assassin, I ordered that 100,000 soldiers continue to escort the army provision and ordered the remaining 400,000 soldiers to return to Bei Mu with me. With the 400,000 soldiers, I intended to eradicate all the forces and people that are harmful to Bei Mu.
However, I would’ve never thought that the troops I prepared would be used for myself. Say, doesn’t it feel like God’s plan always supersedes our plan?”
