Chapter 951 - 213: Killing You All_2
Pei Qin had just been practicing with him when Emperor Chu Wen sent Eunuch Shi Rui, who was in charge, to find Pei Qin.
"Eunuch Shi! What does the Emperor want with me?" Pei Qin asked, puzzled.
Other civil and military chancellors dared not openly inquire about the Emperor’s summons, but this one was special. When he inquired without offering a bribe, he still had to accompany it with a smile. He told everything that could be told, "The Emperor wants to speak with the general."
"Oh!" Pei Qin asked casually out of habit and went to see Emperor Chu Wen with him.
Shi Rui saw that she didn’t really want to know; it was just an offhand question. He truly admired her for it.
Emperor Chu Wen was standing in front of a map. Seeing her arrive, he spoke in a grave voice, inviting her over, "Beloved Officer Pei! Come and see, another city has been captured by the Rong Clan!"
Pei Qin approached and looked at the spot he was pointing to, frowning. The Waci were advancing forcefully, shouting as they breached the defenses and invaded the inner parts of Great Chu, attacking and pillaging cities everywhere. The Rong Clan, however, was different. They quietly captured the area around Liaodong, neither killing nor looting, instead appeasing the civilians. This was clearly territorial expansion, she scoffed, "Their territorial expansion has encroached into our Great Chu homeland!"
Now, Emperor Chu Wen wanted to see Zhu Daxun’s head. His subordinate had tens of thousands of troops stationed in Liaodong year-round, yet he allowed the Rong Clan to breach the wall and capture it. He was also Prince He Qing’s uncle. His continuous retreats were no different from abandoning the city and fleeing for his life! Moreover, the ease with which the Rong Clan won also made him suspicious.
