Chapter 871 - 868: The Gentleman
"Willing to listen... to the teachings of Princess of Zhen!" Wang Meng once again clasped his hands toward Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan’s serene and profound gaze settled on Wang Meng: "I rushed back with the army, and my soldiers have witnessed numerous officials forcibly taking children. Their hatred for the Lin Dynasty, which treats its people like livestock, has grown to the bone. The Pingyang Army, coming all the way here, must have seen a lot as well. General Wang Meng, don’t your soldiers feel disheartened by the Lin Dynasty? The soldiers I lead fight for the people, while the soldiers of the Pingyang Army under your command have already wavered in their loyalty to the Lin Dynasty! The outcome... has long been decided!"
Wang Meng’s eyes widened. He thought... the Princess of Zhen intended to support the Crown Prince’s ascension, but her words... did they imply rebellion?
"The words of the Princess of Zhen..." Wang Meng stopped mid-sentence. Was there anything wrong with what she said?
On their way to Dadu City, the Pingyang Army saw nothing short of hell on earth. Children aged five to ten were in high demand amongst the traffickers. Families losing children were countless, and officials even ordered the government officials to forcibly take children from the common people.
Did Wang Meng not feel heartbroken seeing these sights?
"General Wang Meng, will you surrender or fight to the death in service to the country? The choice is yours..."
After Bai Qingyan finished speaking to Wang Meng, she turned to Du Sanbao: "Leave it to you!"
"Rest assured, Princess of Zhen! I will take good care of General Wang Meng!" Du Sanbao clasped his fists, his wolf-like gaze fixed on Wang Meng, who was filled with disbelief.
