C1224

In this battle between Nan Jin Zhao and Xiao Shaorong, Nan Jin Zhao suffered a crushing defeat, and fled with his troops and horses …

After the tragic defeat of Nan Jin Zhao, he returned to the capital with his handicapped veterans. After arriving at the capital, he used the Revelation Emperor's name to issue several orders.

More than half of them were emperors and marquis. Anyone who brought their troops to him would either be conferred the title of emperor or conferred the title of marquis, but for those who provided him with money and food, he did not forget to reward them.

As for the others?

If he acted obediently and continued to provide financial assistance to the other party, it would be alright. However, if he failed, it would be equivalent to those who intended to escape, and all of them would be annihilated.

Many families had given their entire fortune to him in order to gain his trust. They only hoped that he would be magnanimous in order to gain their 'great contributions'.

The previous time when the position of the Prince Yanbei was unknown, Nan Jin Zhao had the Emperor under his control. His power was like the sun in the middle of the sky, he kept the things he took, but did not give anyone any benefits.

After losing the battle, he did hand it over to those high ranking officials. However, those so-called high ranking officials were not empty words. Other than their reputation, there were no other benefits.

Those who joined Nan Jin Zhao were all here for benefits. What they wanted were not only official positions, but actual benefits as well. Nan Jin Zhao was only giving them a few fake jobs, and they couldn't accept that at all.

Moreover, in order to obtain Nan Jin Zhao's trust, they had almost exhausted all of their family assets. Even if they hadn't, they still wouldn't have been able to invest in Nan Jin Zhao when they saw that he was obviously screwed.

However, Nan Jin Zhao refused to let them go. Regardless of whether or not they still had a family background, Nan Jin Zhao used all his might to squeeze them out, wanting to empty their pockets.

In this way, the conflict between the two sides exploded.

However, with the military power in his hands, those people couldn't resist at all. Under his power, those who didn't obey him were all exterminated.

With Nan Jin Zhao's iron-blooded suppression, the rest of the people had no choice but to give it to him.

In the shortest amount of time, Nan Jin Zhao had gathered a large amount of wealth, and the imperial city...

However, Nan Jin Zhao didn't care about it at all. The city was full of corpses, but he didn't allow anyone to clean it up, and he also didn't allow people to go out and bury it, leaving the corpses to rot in the city.

It was obvious that Nan Jin Zhao was giving up on the imperial city.

In this instant, the people of the Imperial City all went mad.

Everyone knew that Nan Jin Zhao was about to give up the imperial city. Of course, at this point, Nanjin Zhao could not defend the Imperial City, but...

If one couldn't defend the imperial city, it was completely different from being a lowly imperial city.

Nan Jin Zhao had soldiers and horses, food, and money. If things got out of hand, he could leave the capital. However, they were different, as the people living in the capital were different.

Nan Jin Zhao had taken all of their property, but he still wouldn't let them leave the capital. If they waited until Nan Jin Zhao left, would they still have the strength to leave?

Even if they had the strength to run, how could they run when the outside was so chaotic?

Without food or money, how many days could they live if they ran away?

Nan Jin Zhao wasn't human, and he didn't treat them as human beings!

Just when the atmosphere in the imperial city was tense, the Prince Yanbei had returned!

He brought his princess consort and his heir back with high profile. Three hundred thousand soldiers met him at the border. It was said that the sound of someone shouting "thousands of years after the prince appeared" had directly shattered the trees by the side of the road.

It was said that the shout "Long live the crown prince" that day had killed all the birds and beasts in the forest that had not flown away in time.

It was said that...

There were many rumors that day, and everyone believed them to be true. Word of mouth spread, and soon, everyone knew about it.

And the high profile return of the Prince Yanbei also meant that the rights of the Revelation had to be reshuffled.

This was because the first thing Prince Yanbei did when he returned was to announce that he was attacking South Jin Zhao, and the reason was: South Jin Zhao was killing the monarch!

The Emperor of the Revelation had not shown himself in public for more than half a year. Although the orders issued by Nan Jin Zhao were all issued in the name of the Emperor, everyone knew that they were all meant by Nan Jin Zhao.

The Emperor had long been dominated by the Southern Jin Zhao, and he didn't have the slightest bit of power left in his hands. It was even possible that the Emperor had died long ago.

One had to know that ever since Nan Jin Zhao had entered the imperial city, the Emperor had only revealed himself a few times before no one else had ever seen him again.

Even now, those who had sided with Nan Jin Zhao were all acting against him. Nan Jin Zhao was in a bad situation, so he didn't ask the emperor to step in and help him consolidate his position.

That treacherous villain, Nan Jin Zhao, had always used his collaborator to the end. If the emperor wanted to live, how could he not push the emperor forward?

Obviously, the Emperor …

Something had happened!

Even if there was no such news, the prince would still know that something had happened to the emperor. Because the Emperor's corpse was in his hands.

With full preparation, the prince immediately launched an attack on Nan Jin Zhao the moment he returned to the Revelation. He didn't give Nan Jin Zhao any chance to catch his breath. Nan Jin Zhao wasn't surprised at all. The moment his Royal Highness had announced that he was going to join the army, he immediately led his men and ran away, leaving behind an empty imperial city and the corpses that filled the city …
