Chapter 40: Nineteen Years Old
"Enough!"
Without waiting for Qin Sang's response, the Dongyang Lady shook her head and said coldly, "Do you know? Because of your reckless actions, the court is in an uproar. The eldest prince flew into a rage in the commandery seat, issuing three secret decrees in one day, swearing to execute Zhou Mingguang, and ordered Military Commander Mu to personally go to Xuanji Temple to apologize with his life and return the looted treasures."
The commandery seat referred to the seat of Yingshui Commandery.
After the Dongyang King raised his army, he established a small court in Chun City, personally donning armor and leading the charge, while the eldest prince remained in the central command. Once Yingshui Commandery was captured, the supply lines for both major armies ran through Yingshui Commandery, and the eldest prince also took command in Yingshui Commandery Seat.
However, before the eldest prince arrived in Yingshui Commandery, the Dongyang Lady had already clarified the situation among the various factions, leaving him with an easy task.
Two days ago, Qin Sang led his troops to Xuanji Temple to steal treasures. Although it had only been two days, the eldest prince, who was far away in Yingshui Commandery, had already taken a stand for Xuanji Temple, and the Dongyang Lady had rushed over from Jiangzhou City overnight.
Qin Sang lowered his head in repentance. "Lady, I confess. The decree was forged by me. The military commander and General Zhou were both deceived by me. If anyone should be executed, it should be me."
"How much harder is your head compared to Zhou Mingguang's? If it weren't for the fact that you once saved my life, I would have beheaded you right here!"
The Dongyang Lady shouted in anger, "Elder Yue has already gone to meet with Black Crane Sage and voluntarily handed over control of the military hall. He also gave me a list of your men. In the future, whether you want to become a general or a minister, which path do you choose?"
