Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

Chapter 39 I am the King of a Country (1)

October 23, Shuoyang City.

The city wall of Shuoyang City is very grand and tall, about fifteen meters high. The wall shows signs of erosion over the years, and it is probably many years old.

This is an important frontier area of ​​Dayan and the last line of defense on the border.

Soldiers are stationed here all year round, with a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. The soldiers are dressed in heavy armor and guard this front line despite the wind and frost.

Chen He was patrolling on the mottled city wall, followed closely by Yu Xun, the defender of Shuoyang City.

After dealing with the matter at Humen Pass, he immediately rushed to Shuoyang City.

The biting north wind howled over, Yu Xun exhaled a breath of cold air, and chuckled to Chen He who was looking solemnly ahead, "Sir Chen, are you saying that His Majesty will let me open the city gate today? Please stop teasing me, okay? This joke is not funny."

A few days ago, Chen He arrived here and said that His Majesty would open the city gate today. Although Chen He said it very seriously, Yu Xun still didn't believe it at all.

Your Majesty must understand how important Shuoyang City is. Once the city is opened, it will be like inviting a wolf into the house. The capital will be in danger of extinction.

"I also hope it's just a joke."

Chen He stopped and looked into the distance, feeling mixed emotions. A few days ago, he thought it was just a joke, but ever since the predictions given by Xie Lang were verified one after another.

He already believed it without a doubt.

Chen He looked closely at the wilderness in the distance. On the horizon, a group of ant-sized soldiers and horses came into view. As the Khitan army approached, their figures became taller and taller.

All the soldiers on the city gate saw this scene and clenched their weapons tightly, ready to fight the enemy at any time.

When Yu Xun saw this scene, his expression immediately became serious. Chen He did not say anything and was looking for Li Chongguang.

At this time, a large carriage came out of the Khitan army and drove in the front of the army. Some generals such as Yu Xun who had seen Li Chongguang's face looked unhappy at this time.

On the carriage was Li Chongguang, with a woman beside him.

In the carriage, Li Chongguang looked worried, and Jiang Xinbai was beside him comforting him.

"Grand Tutor, if I can open the gate of Shuoyang City, you can send me back to Dayan." Li Chongguang turned around and shouted to the Grand Tutor with a goatee behind the carriage.

"Of course. As soon as the gate of Shuoyang City opens, the Khan will personally send Your Majesty the Emperor to Daliang." The Grand Tutor had a smile on his face, and his expression did not seem fake.

Yelu Bei, who was riding beside the Grand Tutor, nodded. As soon as the city gate opened, he would lead the Khitan warriors straight into Daliang, so that they would not be considered to have lied.

"That's good, that's good." Li Chongguang, who had some concerns, put them aside after hearing these words.

Jiang Xinbai, who was standing beside Li Chongguang, didn't know what to do. She was not familiar with this period of history. She only knew that Li Chongguang would become emperor in the end, so she was not worried at all. She knew that there would be no danger in the end, so she just supported Li Chongguang's decision.

Time soon came and Li Chongguang's carriage arrived at the gate of Shuoyang City.

He was wearing a dragon robe with a five-clawed golden dragon on it that was extremely dazzling under the sunlight. At this moment, he shouted towards the wall of Shuoyang City: "I am the Emperor of Dayan. Open the gate of Shuoyang City immediately."

"I am the Emperor of Great Yan. Open the Shuoyang Gate immediately."

Hearing this, Yu Xun's face changed drastically. He really didn't expect that Li Chongguang would actually let him open the city gate.

This made him panic for a moment, because that was the emperor, so he asked Chen He: "Master Chen, what should we do now?"

Chen He did not panic, but just shouted: "Archers, get ready..."

The archers all nocked their bows and arrows, and as long as the order was given, the arrows would be released on the spot.

These low-level soldiers did not know Li Chongguang, they only obeyed the orders of the commander.

"Master Chen, stop it immediately." Yu Xun was even more panicked and hurriedly grabbed Chen He's raised hands. He thought Chen He was just joking when he said he would shoot the arrows, but he didn't expect that he was serious.

"That's His Majesty, that's His Majesty. What if the arrow accidentally injures His Majesty? That's the crime of regicide, and neither you nor I can bear it!"

Yu Xun screamed like a frightened bird.

The other generals also tried to dissuade him: "Yes, Lord Chen, no matter how much His Majesty shouts, we just need to not open the city gates."

"Chen He, Yu Xun, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and open the city gate to welcome me in." Li Chongguang, who was in the carriage, didn't know why Chen He was on the city wall, and saw that he not only did not salute but was arguing with something, so he hurriedly shouted at them.

"You say you are His Majesty, but do you have any proof?" Chen He seemed calm on the surface, but he was actually very flustered. However, when he thought of Xie Lang's words, he forced himself to suppress his panic.

"I am His Majesty. What proof do I need? Besides, you have seen my face. Is it possible that someone else could impersonate me? Open the city gates immediately, or I will punish you."

Yelu Bei, who was behind the carriage, also rode forward and shouted to the people on the wall: "The Emperor of Great Yan is here. As subjects, you should not come out to greet him, but you dare to disobey orders. Hurry up and open the city gates to welcome the Emperor of Great Yan in."

"How dare you! How dare you, a daring thief, pretend to be Your Majesty!" Chen He yelled at the people outside the city gate: "Your Majesty is the emperor of Great Yan and cares about our country. How could you do such an absurd thing as ordering the garrison to open the city? This thief must be an imposter."

The people who were watching Chen He seriously distorting right and wrong all showed expressions of surprise. How could he do this?

Chen He directly denied the authenticity of the people who were calling the emperor. In this way, their shooting of arrows would no longer be regicide, and killing the impostor would undoubtedly be loyalty to the emperor.

Chen He also cursed the emperor in front of him.

Your Majesty, as the Emperor of Great Yan, cares about our Great Yan country. How could you do such an absurd thing as ordering the garrison to open the city?

At first glance, this statement may sound like it's speaking for the emperor, but in fact, they know exactly who the person below is.

What this actually means is that he is not worthy of being the emperor of Great Yan.

If he was really the Emperor of Great Yan, how could he do such an absurd thing as opening the city gate.

"How dare you! Chen He, you are actually confusing right and wrong in front of me. Do you want to rebel?"

When Li Chongguang heard what Chen He said, he was furious. If he could do it, he would have wanted to kill Chen He's entire family.

Chen He said to his face that he was a fake. Does he still think I am the emperor?

"Fire arrows."

At Chen He's command, a dense rain of arrows poured out and shot directly towards Li Chongguang and his men.

Li Chongguang was shocked when he saw that the other party dared to shoot arrows, and Jiang Xinbai beside him also became panicked.

Is there such a thing in history books? Is it true that there were officials who dared to shoot arrows at the emperor?

Yelu Bei also felt that the situation was not good, and shouted to the people on the wall: "Do you really not care about the life of the Emperor of Great Yan?"

However, the only response they received was more arrows.

Yelu Bei and the Grand Tutor's faces changed drastically. They didn't expect that Dayan would really disregard their emperor's life.

"Protect the Emperor of Dayan, retreat."

Yelu Bei looked unhappy, but he still had his reason and knew that Li Chongguang could not die here.

On Li Chongguang's side, a dense rain of arrows came towards him, and there were several arrows stuck in the carriage. Fortunately, the arrows shot at him were blocked by others, but despite this, his face could not be paler.

Jiang Xinbai beside him was so frightened that he didn't even dare to speak.

"How dare you, Chen He, shoot an arrow? And you, Yu Xun, and everyone on the city wall, when I return to Dayan, I swear to kill all your clans, I must..."

Before he could finish his words, an arrow shot at Li Chongguang's feet, and he was so scared that he quickly hid behind the Khitan soldiers.

He swore secretly in his heart that when he returned, all those people on the city wall would die.

On the city wall, Yu Xun looked at Chen He who was unmoved and said, "Sir Chen, is this really a good idea? After all, he is His Majesty. If he settles the score in the future, neither you nor I will be able to escape."

"Your Majesty, do you think he is worthy of being Your Majesty?"

Chen He calmly looked at Li Chongguang who was hiding behind the Khitan soldiers in the distance, and then uttered a shocking sentence.

"Master Chen, you..." Yu Xun couldn't believe it. At this point, how could he not understand what Chen He wanted to do?

He is still His Majesty after all!!

Chen He put his hand on his shoulder and said earnestly: "General Yu, we have no way out. What we did today has already made that person hate us. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your parents, wife and children."

"And we should take a long-term view. Dayan may be better off without him. We do this not only for ourselves, but also for Dayan's country."
