The most romantic little emperor

"General, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Why don't we surrender?" One of the guards lowered his eyes and persuaded carefully.

However, just as he finished his words, another bodyguard suddenly drew out the long sword from his waist, pointed it at the tip of the nose of the surrenderer with a cold light. His face was stern and his eyes flashed with unquestionable determination.

"You are shaking the morale of the troops and our faith!"

He shouted sternly, his voice full of unquestionable majesty, "We are the most loyal soldiers under the general. We are willing to stand with the general in life and death. How can we surrender so easily?"

He turned to Lin Guodong, the long sword in his hand drew a sharp arc in the air, then he lowered it to the ground respectfully, knelt on one knee, and said in a loud voice: "General, please give the order! Let us defend our dignity and honor with our blood and lives on the road of charge!"

Lin Guodong closed his eyes slightly, feeling a little reluctant. These loyal guards knew that there was a dead end ahead, but they were willing to accompany him to death without hesitation for his loyalty and faith.

Especially at the critical moment of life and death, this loyalty deeply moved Lin Guodong.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, shook his head gently, and pulled up a bitter smile. He said lightly: "I will remember your loyalty and courage in my heart. I also understand your intentions."

"However, Champion Hou Li Zhen is right. Your life does not only belong to yourself, but also to your family, to those relatives who are looking forward to your safe return."

The guards looked at each other, with complicated emotions flashing in their eyes. They knew that the general was persuading them to surrender and find a glimmer of hope for their survival.

However, how could they abandon the general and escape alone?

"General, what about you?" One of the guards mustered up the courage and asked with a slightly trembling voice.

Lin Guodong smiled slightly, raised his hand and gently stroked his head, his smile revealed a sense of relief and determination. He said calmly: "My fate has long been determined. This head may still have some value. Wait, you can take it. I hope it can give you a chance of survival. This is the only thing I can do for you."

"General, this is inappropriate. How can we do such a treacherous act?" The loyal guard said hurriedly, his tone filled with anxiety and worry.

His words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

When the rest of the people heard this, their faces instantly became solemn, and they all vowed to never obey.

Lin Guodong seemed unusually calm. He slowly drew out the long sword from his waist, and the sword light reflected on his resolute face, revealing a kind of determination.

He placed the sword across his neck and said calmly but firmly, "Since you are unwilling to take action, then I will have to end this myself."

Seeing this, the other guards drew their swords from their waists, placed them across their necks, and shouted in unison: "We are willing to go to hell with the general, live or die!"

At this moment, the air was filled with a tragic and resolute atmosphere, as if even the surrounding air was frozen.

Lin Guodong looked at them, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but was immediately replaced by determination.

After a moment, Lin Guodong burst into laughter. "I am so lucky to have you, my good brothers, sharing life and death with me. I will die without regrets!"

"Now, I am issuing my final order. If you still recognize me as your general, put down your swords immediately."

The guards were moved when they heard this. They knew that the general was using his own life to buy them a chance of survival. They had no way to repay this great favor.

However, they understood better that the general's orders were the faith in their hearts, and they must obey them unconditionally.

So, the guards slowly put down their swords, lowered their heads silently, and remained silent. They knew that this was the last thing they could do for the general, to obey his orders and save their own lives.

"very good!"

Seeing this, Lin Guodong nodded slightly, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was low and long: "After I leave, please take care of my family. But... nevermind, since we have embarked on this road of no return, their fate is not something you can control..."

Before he finished his words, his hand had already swept across like lightning, and the sharp sword drew a sad arc across the neck.

Blood gushed out, staining his cloak and the surrounding air red.

Lin Guodong gradually fell in a pool of blood, his eyes slowly closed, everything returned to silence, and the turmoil initiated by the Xuanwu Guards was quelled.

……

The huge commotion swept across the capital city like a violent storm, turning the originally peaceful night into a turbulent one, and the situation in the capital city became increasingly confusing.

The sudden news reached Yelu Lingxiao's ears. He immediately lost all desire to sleep and quickly ordered his men to find out the details.

An irrepressible ecstasy appeared on Yelu Lingxiao's face. He laughed loudly, his voice full of joy and pride: "Chaos! Chaos! This king never expected that when I came to the Great Xia Kingdom this time, I would be able to witness such a thrilling rebellion drama. This trip is really worthwhile!"

His eyes sparkled with excitement as he continued to laugh loudly, "Little Emperor of Daxia, I didn't expect that someone would dare to resist your tyranny. This time, you're probably going to have a headache, right? Hahaha, this is really gratifying!"

At this moment, Yelu Lingxiao's mood also became extremely happy. Before, all the negative emotions he had suffered from being repeatedly defeated by Qin Hao disappeared without a trace.

Instead, he felt gloating, as if he had already seen that the Great Xia Kingdom had become even more turbulent and chaotic because of the rebellion.

In the second prince's residence outside the imperial palace.

Qin Feng and Qin Yun sat opposite each other, looking at each other, but remained silent.

Finally, Qin Yun could no longer suppress his inner anxiety. He leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice: "Second brother, the capital is becoming more and more chaotic now. What do you think about this?"

Qin Feng slowly picked up the tea on the table, blew away the heat, and then took a sip. He put down the teacup, his eyes showing calmness and composure.

He said calmly: "The changes in the capital have nothing to do with us directly. The best strategy is for us to wait and see."

"Second brother, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, are you really willing to just watch it slip away? I don't believe you don't have any plans." Qin Yun asked hurriedly, with a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

Qin Feng's lips curled up slightly, his eyes flashing with unfathomable brilliance. He shook his head gently, and said in a steady voice: "Eighth brother, don't underestimate my elder brother. Since he dared to take action against the Su family, he must have planned it out carefully and calculated everything."

"Otherwise, why would Big Brother take such a big risk to deal with the Su family at this cusp of the storm? This is not in line with his style."

"So, it is best for us to wait and see what happens. If we intervene rashly, I am afraid it will only bring disaster upon ourselves, and the consequences are unpredictable."

"Second brother, I..." Qin Yun was unwilling to give up and continued.

Qin Feng interrupted him and said with concern: "Eighth brother, listen to second brother this time, otherwise, neither mother nor I can save you."
