Chapter 424 - 116: Did Prince An Get Something for Nothing? Prince An Begins His Move (3)

However.

The difference is, Fu Zhengqing is not sure whether Yan Fuhai is the Land Immortal or not.

Yet Ye Liuyun is already certain, he just wants to know what kind of strength Yan Fuhai can exert under Destiny Retribution!

"Good!"

In the end, Yan Shuzhu did not refuse Ye Liuyun’s invitation to watch the spectacle.

Things have already developed to this point, and it’s too late to stop them.

Moreover.

As long as Yan Jiang’s ambition remains, even if this matter is stopped, there will definitely be another in the future.

It’s precisely because of knowing this that Yan Shuzhu never thought of stopping it from the beginning, anyway, it wouldn’t be meaningful.

,,,

Similarly, it’s not just Ye Liuyun’s side.

Both Fu Zhengqing and Yue Xiu have also noticed the commotion on the ground.

Fu Zhengqing’s eyes are silent, slightly lowering his brows, covering the discontent in his gaze.

Too impatient!

Fu Zhengqing also thinks Yan Jiang is really too impatient; the autumn hunt has just begun, and he’s already so eager to take the throne. At least wait until most people are a little tired before making a move!

Forget it!

Anyway, it’s too late to say anything now, and Fu Zhengqing has prepared long ago to abandon Yan Jiang immediately if any danger appears; the main strategy is to stay completely uninvolved.

Troubles won’t touch him.

"Marching sound?"

As a military officer.

The people on Yue Xiu’s side can immediately tell what’s causing the ground vibrations.

These vibrations are definitely the sound only produced when a large army is marching.

"Judging by the number, there are about fifty thousand!"

"Gasp! Who in the Imperial City can command such a force?"

It’s important to know.

Even the Imperial Guard in the palace now only numbers about twenty thousand; a fifty-thousand-strong force may be mustered by many, but absolutely cannot be sustained. The money for their daily meals alone is a substantial expense.

Linking this to the one stopping this autumn hunt, who is Prince An Yan Jiang.

Many people are starting to make some guesses in their hearts.

In an instant, many military officers collectively turned their heads to look at Grand General Yue Xiu.

In the Great Qian Dynasty, almost all the military officers were brought back from the battlefield by Yue Xiu back in the day, and they all hold Yue Xiu in high regard.

Regarding the orders from Emperor Yan Fuhai, they might not care.

But if it’s Yue Xiu’s orders, not a single person would object.

"Wait and see!"

Understanding the intent in these people’s eyes.

But Yue Xiu merely said four simple words without showing any intention to get directly involved.

Moreover.

In his heart, Yue Xiu is somewhat looking forward to Prince An Yan Jiang being able to slaughter Yan Fuhai.

If it comes down to a moment where success is just a step away, Yue Xiu wouldn’t mind intervening to help Prince An.

As long as Yan Fuhai can be slaughtered, everything else becomes insignificant.

"Yes, General!"

Yan Fuhai’s words made several military officers glance at each other before responding simultaneously.

They started gathering towards Yue Xiu’s side, waiting for his next command.

,,,

At this time.

There are still some ministers hunting in the forest.

Some with little experience mistake the ground vibrations as the movements of a wild beast herd.

"Haha, such good luck, the top prize in this autumn hunt is definitely mine!"

Thinking that soon a large herd of ’prey’ would come,

This person couldn’t resist and laughed proudly, then drew his bow and nocked an arrow, ready to shoot at any sign of prey appearing.

"I see you!"

After waiting for a while, noticing a shadow darting through the woods.

He thought prey was finally appearing, and just as he was about to shoot, a group of armored soldiers emerged from the forest the next second.

",,,,"

Looking at these soldiers poised for action.

This time, his expression turned foolish, maintaining his bow-drawing posture, momentarily speechless.

Clearly.

The soldiers also noticed him.

However, the soldiers did not show surprise or hesitation because of this.

The one leading seems to be a minor officer, and with a cold expression, he commanded.

"His Highness orders, eliminate any obstruction!"

Yan Jiang had instructed in advance.

Their goal is Yan Fuhai, directed to kill anyone encountered en route.

"Yes!"

On the other side, several responded in unison.

They too drew bows and nocked arrows.

"Wait! Wait!"

At this moment, the person finally reacted, shouting urgently.

"I’m from the Ministry of Justice, you,,"

He habitually stated his identity, hoping to deter them.

But unfortunately.

It was useless!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several arrows flew out, giving him no chance to react, directly striking him down.

As he lay dying, his face was still full of disbelief.

Clearly never expecting that his exalted position in the Ministry of Justice, with many good days yet to enjoy, would come to an end here so inexplicably.

Had he known such would transpire,

He wouldn’t have come to this autumn hunt from the start.

It would’ve been better to claim to be unwell, staying at home to enjoy peace, as others did.

But it’s a pity.

No matter how much regret there is, it’s useless at such a moment.

The fallen corpse continued to be trampled upon, eventually turning into a horrific sight!

Along the way, these soldiers encountered many ministers hunting in the forest, but unsurprisingly acted without hesitation.

Threats from these ministers were seemingly ignored, and they remained ruthless in their actions.

It’s clear.

Yan Jiang paid a hefty price to maintain this fifty-thousand-man contingent!
