Chapter 836 The Desirable Happiness

For several days, the people in the palace were in a panic, filled with depression and anxiety about the coming storm.

The emperor became a trapped beast on the verge of despair, and roared in the hall: "Are you all useless? Hurry up and think of a way to resist the enemy, otherwise you will all die! All of you will die!"

The expressions of the ministers were equally ugly. If they could choose, they even hoped to immediately flee Shengjing with their families, away from the war, and avoid the fate of becoming prisoners.

But they knew better that the more strict the defense of the Imperial Guards was at this time, no one could escape. If they dared to escape, the emperor would definitely order everyone to be killed.

"Report--" An urgent report sounded outside the hall.

The emperor's heart suddenly jumped, and his face turned pale instantly.

He was now a frightened bird. As long as he heard this shout, he knew that it must be a bad war report.

"The Dongling Iron Cavalry has arrived outside Shengjing City!" The guard who reported the incident knelt in the hall in a panic, his face full of fear and anxiety, "Please give an order, Your Majesty!"

The emperor fell down on the dragon throne with his whole body weak.

Give an order?

What other order can he give?

"Let the commander of the Imperial Guards lead people to stop them!" The cabinet chief ordered hurriedly, "Quick, let the left commander lead people to guard the nine gates of the imperial city immediately. Even if everyone dies in battle, the Dongling Iron Cavalry must be stopped outside the city gate! Go!"

"Everyone died in battle?" A cold and indifferent voice suddenly sounded, with sneer and disdain, "The emperor's life is so valuable, it is better to let 100,000 soldiers and horses in Shengjing die in battle, and he must be kept safe?"

The ministers were shocked and turned their heads suddenly.

Hearing this voice, the emperor was in a trance for a moment, and then he suddenly looked up as if he had thought of something, and saw a man in blue cloth slowly walking into the hall. The face that had been so long since seen that it was almost unfamiliar still came with the long-lost memories, awakening the fear and hatred engraved in his bones.

"Are you... His Royal Highness the Cold Prince?"

"The Cold Prince!"

The ministers exclaimed.

"Wei Chen!" The emperor stood up suddenly, his face full of shock, "You——"

"I haven't seen you for more than ten years. It's rare that the emperor still recognizes my face." Wei Chen's eyes were tilted upward, and the arc of his mouth was obviously cold and ironic, "I pay my respects to the emperor."

"Your Highness Prince Leng!" An old minister among the ministers spoke excitedly, "The Dongling Iron Cavalry has already arrived at the city. Nanyue has no more generals available. I beg Your Highness Prince Leng to lead the troops to repel the Dongling Iron Cavalry and protect my Nanyue territory!"

Others were instantly refreshed when they heard the words, as if they saw a savior: "Yes, please lead the troops to resist the enemy immediately, keep the court stable, and protect the Nanyue territory!"

"Please ask Prince Leng to immediately mobilize troops to repel the enemy!"

In an instant, it seemed as if despair and anxiety were swept away. The ministers were excited, and they all looked at Wei Chen expectantly, with all their hopes in their eyes.

The emperor's face was as gloomy as water. He looked at Wei Chen with a cold and murderous look, but he also had the only hope at this moment. He wanted to kill him immediately, but he also knew in his heart that if there was anyone who could turn the tide and protect the country of Nanyue, it would be the person in front of him.

Only this person.

"Wei Chen." He suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, hid the cold light in his eyes, and replaced it with a sincere expression, "Nanyue is in dire straits now, and the Dongling Iron Cavalry is about to break through the imperial city. I hope you can lead the troops to fight and defend the country for me, and the last hope of the millions of people in Nanyue."

"Lead the troops to fight?" Wei Chen smiled softly as if he had heard something incredible, and his laughter was full of cold sarcasm, "It is my greatest pleasure to see the demise of Nanyue in my lifetime."

After the voice fell, the faces of everyone in the hall froze instantly, and the excited and hopeful expressions on their faces condensed little by little.
