The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 475 The Siege Begins

"If we can conquer this place, then the entire Khmer Empire will be completely conquered by us, and from then on, there will be no more rivals for our Great Ming on the entire peninsula!"

"If we don't take this place, we'll probably get stuck in a stalemate. If that drags on, it might even affect our territory!"

Wang Bi nodded after hearing this, and then said confidently.

"Don't worry, we're very well prepared this time. We've even brought enough artillery. Their city might be considered a heavily fortified city in this area, but it's nothing compared to ours!"

"Today, let them see the power of our artillery!"

Soon the army arrived at the front line and surrounded them. Just as they were about to attack, a soldier ran over and said something.

"Generals, this is a letter from someone in the city. It was written by a grandson of the Emperor of our Great Ming Dynasty!"

Upon hearing this, the two men frowned, then exchanged a glance. Clearly, they both knew that only one person could have written such a letter: the current grandson of the emperor, Zhu Yunwen.

The two men frowned upon seeing this, and then Wang Bi spoke.

"Why did the grandson of the Emperor Yunwen suddenly write to us at this time?"

"Does he intend to plead for the Khmer Empire?"

When he said this, Wang Bi's eyes were full of disdain. Although he was not sure, there was indeed such a possibility.

If that's really the case, it's not a good thing, after all, it would be a huge disgrace to the Ming Dynasty.

Mu Ying, who was standing to the side, also shook his head, clearly unaware of this matter.

However, what is certain is that if Zhu Yunwen really did this at this time, it would not be a good thing for the entire Ming Dynasty, and he would become a laughing stock in the entire Ming Dynasty because of the possibility of competing with Zhu Xiong Ying.

At this moment, Mu Ying opened the letter and sneered after reading its contents.

Our Emperor is truly naive, actually wanting to conquer the entire Khmer Empire with his own power. Does he even deserve it? We have almost wiped out the Khmer Empire's elite forces, but it must be said that the Khmer Empire's strength is still formidable.

He really doesn't know his own limitations, wanting to occupy this country.

Wang Bi nodded after hearing this.

So what should we do next? We can't just ignore it, can we? After all, he's the emperor's grandson, and it wouldn't be a good thing if he lost his life.

Mu Ying sighed after hearing this.

There's nothing we can do about it. If someone is truly stubborn and refuses to see the truth, there's nothing else we can do, since it's their own choice.

Furthermore, if we bring this letter to the capital, I believe the officials there will understand why we made this choice.

Having decided on this location, both men nodded and began their attack towards the capital of the Khmer Empire. Meanwhile, Zhu Yunwen awaited a reply from the two generals, believing they wouldn't ignore his request in the next couple of days, which would mean they had resolved the conflict peacefully.

For him, this was a significant achievement, though not insignificant.

Moreover, no matter what, he was a prince. Could these people not obey the orders of a prince? Thinking of this, he felt very excited. However, he did not receive a reply from Mu Ying and Wang Bi. Instead, he received news that the two were attacking the capital.

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Yongwen was filled with disbelief. He stared at the messenger and said...

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You must have spread false information. How dare they disobey my orders? I am the grandson of the Ming Emperor!"

Those around him sneered upon hearing this. At this moment, they realized that this grandson of the Ming emperor had absolutely no deterrent power in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Now even these two generals don't take him seriously. If they had known, they wouldn't have waited in this place for so long. They thought they could get some benefits, but who would have thought that this guy is also a guy who has nothing to offer.

Seeing the contemptuous looks in these people's eyes, Zhu Yunwen felt extremely angry. The others despised him.

That's to be true. After all, I don't have much power right now. The saying "a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs" applies everywhere, and people around me just sit idly by and do nothing about it.

He felt little sympathy for them, which made him extremely dissatisfied, a fact he was well aware of at that moment.

He had no other choice regarding the Khmer Empire. If he couldn't resolve this matter, it wouldn't be long before the Khmer Emperor would take his anger out on him. At that time, he would inevitably feel a chill run down his spine when he thought of this place. At this moment, he made up his mind.

This can't go on any longer. If it continues, I might lose my life.

After having this idea...

After thinking about this place, he prepared to escape, believing that he would be safe once he left.

He suddenly thought of the princess of the Khmer Empire. Although she had left him when he was in trouble, she was still his woman and they had spent so much time together, so there were still feelings between them.

If possible, he could take him away. After thinking of this place, he immediately sent someone to inform the princess of the Khmer Empire that he had something important to discuss with her.

Soon the news reached the ears of the Khmer Empire's princess, whose eyes were filled with disdain upon hearing it.

We don't really know what Zhu Yunwen is thinking. He can forget about getting me, the princess, to leave this place with him.

Now that he has nowhere to run, he still wants to leave this place.

That was wishful thinking. Then it suddenly occurred to her that if she let this person escape, it might implicate her.

That would be troublesome, especially since she was, after all, a princess of this country. If she escaped, she would lose everything she had. Just thinking about that place made her feel unwilling.
