Chapter 219: Escape
When Wu Shanxian heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is it Yan Junwang?"
Emperor Yong’an lamented his best friend’s simple-mindedness and said, "He is still in the north. How can he come back so quickly?"
Seeing Wu Shanxian’s frown, Emperor Yong’an smiled and added, "However, Yan Junwang sent his people to intercept Duan Qinwang’s retreat. There should be no problem in arresting them all today."
As soon as these words came out, Wu Shanxian and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the support of Xie Yanghui and Xuan Ruiquan, it should be possible to clear out Duan Qinwang and his followers in one fell swoop.
Seeing that the main hall of Junshi Xianhe Hall was covered with blood and corpses, Qiu Yuanbo said, "Your Majesty, this place is dirty. Why don’t you go back to Yang Xin Palace and take a rest?"
Emperor Yong’an looked at the ministers’ pale faces and the generals’ tired faces. None of them have slept since yesterday, and they fought against Duan Qinwang today. They should be given a day off.
Emperor Yong’an thought for a while and said, "All of you should go back and rest. We will have a lot of things to do tomorrow."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the side hall, followed by Qiu Yuanbo, An Yi, and other secret guards.
Seeing Emperor Yong’an walking away, the ministers and generals quickly clapped their hands and bowed deeply, and then said in unison, "Chen respectfully send off the Emperor."
