Chapter 328: Cold Sweat
“General Xu, there is no need to be polite.”
“Come here, please take a seat.”
Seeing the deep wrinkles on General Xu’s face and his face that looked older than people of the same age, Ye Shuo’s heart softened and he subconsciously wanted to shout.
However, General Xu below did not dare to answer at all. In fact, just at the banquet, the moment the emperor issued the decree, General Xu felt as if his life was hanging by a thread.
If some things are not said at the beginning, they will only be delayed again and again, mistakes will be made again and again, and finally they will be completely irreversible.
Thinking of this, General Xu couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. He now only hoped that the emperor would show leniency to him and his family because of their dedication to the country. Otherwise, if the act of deceiving the emperor was proven, it would be a heinous crime punishable by the execution of all nine generations of his family.
Now the Xu family is dwindling and can no longer withstand the turmoil. Its decline is inevitable. After two years of fighting, the emperor has already brought all the generals under his control. Old General Xu wants to take care of things, but he has no strength.
I just hope His Majesty will show mercy, but such a good opportunity, let alone His Majesty, I’m afraid that ordinary people will not let it go…
Thinking of this, General Xu became more submissive and said resignedly, “I dare not. I came here this time to apologise to the emperor for something.”
