“My subordinate is in.”
Abandoning Zhu Yanshuo to come out alone, if all the people inside had finished dying, then it would be a black and white for them to clear their name.
But the good news was that Zhu Yanshuo had now come out alive, and the truth of everything would come out.
They had been hiding at the back of the crowd and did not dare to show their heads, fearing that they would be caught in the act right now.
The four of them were depressed, but they could only obediently half-bow in front of Hei Yu.
“You and the others entered the palace with City Lord Zhu, yet you failed to keep Lord Zhu and Pei Hu safe, how dare you be guilty?” Hei Yu questioned in a cold voice.
The four Black Mountain Demon Princesses looked at each other with their heads lowered, and she was the first to open her mouth, “Your Honour, with a dozen of us experts trying to resist Han Qianqian, it is like talking about a fool’s dream.”
“Is this your excuse for getting away with it?” Hei Yu snorted coldly and bellowed angrily, “Men, drag them down and behead them.”
“Elder, leave the man under the sword.” Zhu Yanshuo hastily raised his head, his attitude extremely sincere, “Elder, although the four experts’ escape is abominable, they shouldn’t be blamed for it all.”
“Han Three Thousand is very capable, whether the four of them actually stay or not is irrelevant to whether the ending changes or not, this is something that I believe you know better than I do.”
“So, them staying there would just be sending four more heads.”
“Secondly, beheading a general in front of the battlefield is a major taboo for marching armies, not only does it break the general, but it is also a blow to morale, now that our army is in need of people, why not give the four masters a chance to wear the blame?”
Looking at Zhu Yanshuo’s face full of sincerity, Hei Yu frowned slightly and did not say anything.
There was indeed some truth in what Zhu Yanshuo said, and the four experts were indeed rare talents. Since Zhu Yanshuo had begged for mercy, she herself had a step to take, and immediately looked at the four experts, “You four still don’t thank Lord Zhu City?”
The four were shocked, they had abandoned Zhu Yanshuo in the first place, but to their surprise, Zhu Yanshuo not only ignored their past grudges and did not fall on their sword, but instead, he even showed great forgiveness and begged for mercy on their behalf.
“Thank you, City Master Zhu, we will definitely go through fire and water in the future.”
Zhu Yanshuo only nodded indifferently on the surface, but in reality, he was already laughing coldly in his heart.
The four great experts had always appeared to be at odds with him, contributing to the work but not the effort.
He had always wanted to find an opportunity, but unfortunately the four were all old and greasy.
Now it was good.
Not only could he put an end to the topic of Pei Hu’s death at once, but also, as he had bailed out the four of them, if Hei Yu wanted to ask about any details, he could completely lie and cover it up, not fearing that the four would turn on themselves at the end of their tether.
If they were heavy, they might bite themselves, and if they were light, they would make a bad impression on Hei Yu.
Of course, another point is that you take the opportunity to collect the hearts and minds of these four people, you know, in this kind of power game, the more chips you hold, the more beneficial to you.
Although the troops had lost the war, for him personally, he always had to reap the benefits that belonged to him.
“There is no need to be polite, we are all in the same boat.” Zhu Yanshuo pretended to be badly injured and forced out a smile.
“Someone, send City Master Zhu to recuperate for now.” Hei Yu said lightly.
Zhu Yanshuo waved his hand and hurriedly stopped his subordinates, “I was only stabbed by Han Qianqian, I can’t die yet. Right now, the battle is tight, how can I recuperate at ease, I also ask the elder to leave me behind.”
“But you are so …… touched.” Hei Yu was slightly moved.
“It’s not a problem, please ask a few experts to use some true qi to help me heal my wounds for a short time, and it will be fine if I don’t bleed.”
Hei Yu nodded his head and looked towards several experts beside him, several of whom immediately stepped in directly and healed Zhu Yan Shuo’s injuries.
“The spirit of City Master Zhu is touching to the heavens and the earth, and is also a model for our generation. Tell the whole army about this, both in recognition of City Master Zhu’s fighting spirit, and in the hope that this will boost the morale of our army.” Hei Yu instructed.
The subordinate nodded and immediately went to do so.
As for Zhu Yanshuo, who was in the midst of several experts healing their wounds, his eyes appeared to be closed on the surface, but he was already wildly happy inside.
With such a tactic, he had earned another wave of hearts and trust from Hei Yu, he had made a fortune.
A few moments later, the masters withdrew their hands and Zhu Yanshuo opened his eyes.
Although, even if no one were to heal him, he knew that the part he had inserted into himself would not put his life in danger at all.
Zhu Yanshuo slowly got up and walked over to Hei Yu, saying softly, “Elder, it’s getting late, it’s time for us to launch the final general attack.”
Hei Yu nodded and raised his hand slightly, and the entire force resounded with a long roar ……
