Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 216

Chapter 216: The Battle In The Junshi Xianhe Hall (1)
After sending their children away, Madam Chi cried, and her husband patted her back gently.

Chi Junheng sighed and said, “We can’t keep Xin Xin and our children in this village forever. With Xin Xin’s talents and abilities, she will leave one day. We should not tie her wings but let her fly higher on her own. What we have to do is silently guard and protect her on her journey.”

Madam Chi sobbed and said, “I know, but if something happens to Xin Xin, I won’t be able to face Mengling in the underworld.”

Chi Junheng hugged his wife and said, “All right, don’t cry. With General Xuan and Dalang accompanying her, Xin Xin should be safe. Besides, Ru’er is also following her. They should be fine.”

Because Duan Yixin left in a hurry, there were still many things to do and arrange. After Chi Junheng coaxed his wife for a while, the two of them returned to the wooden building to discuss everything that needed to be arranged.

When Duan Yixin and others went to Qian Shan County, the situation in the imperial capital city was very tense. After An Yi sent his subordinates to obtain evidence from Ye Huiyu, Emperor Yong’an secretly summoned his trusted ministers and generals for an emergency meeting.

After checking the evidence and making plans for the whole night, Emperor Yong’an calmly put on his dragon robe and headed to the imperial court in the morning.

On his way to Junshi Xianhe Hall, Emperor Yong’an saw Qiu Yuanbo hurrying over. Qiu Yuanbo came to the side of Emperor Yong’an’s imperial sedan and lowered his voice, “Your Majesty, the soldiers led by Xie Guogong have arrived and are waiting for your order.”

“What about the Imperial Guards?” Emperor Yong’an asked calmly.

Qiu Yuanbo replied, “General Wu said that he sent some imperial guards to station in the back palace and surrounded Ci Ning Palace. As for the remaining imperial guards, they have surrounded Junshi Xianhe Hall and are waiting for your order.”

Emperor Yong’an nodded and said, “Well done.”

After saying this, Emperor Yong’an closed his eyes and rested for a while. Today, he must arrest Duan Qinwang without fail. Otherwise, he and his allies will be the ones to be killed by Duan Qinwang and his followers.

Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the side hall of Junshi Xianhe Hall. After the four strong eunuchs lowered the imperial sedan, Emperor Yong’an got down and walked to the side hall.

Seeing An Yi and a group of secret guards waiting in the side hall, Emperor Yong’an asked, “How is the preparation?”

An Yi clasped his fists and said, “Answering Master. Everything is ready.”

Emperor Yong’an nodded and said, “Good. Go and stay in your position.”

An Yi and the other secret guards said in unison, “Yes, Master.”

After An Yi and the others left, Qiu Yuanbo said, “Your Majesty, the time has come.”

Emperor Yong’an sneered and calmly said, “Let’s go.”

Under the leadership of Emperor Yong’an, the group entered the Junshi Xianhe Hall. Before Emperor Yong’an walked out from the connecting corridor between the side hall and the main hall, Qiu Yuanbo entered the main hall first and shouted, “The Emperor has arrived!”

As soon as his voice resounded throughout the Junshi Xianhe Hall, all the ministers and generals knelt down. They bowed their heads and said at the same time, “Long live the Emperor for ten thousand years.”

Emperor Yong’an sat calmly on the dragon throne and then looked at the ministers and generals who were kneeling on the ground. He smiled slightly and said, “You may rise.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” The ministers and generals said, and then they stood up one after another.

After everyone stood up, Qiu Yanbo said, “If you have something to report, please speak up. If nothing happens, then retreat.”

After saying that, Qiu Yuanbo stepped back to the side. A few seconds later, Ceng Baocheng stepped out from where he was standing.

He stood under the dragon throne stairs, clasped his hands, and said, “Your Majesty, Lao Chen has something to report.”

Emperor Yong’an calmly asked, “Yu Shi Dafu, what do you want to report?”

Ceng Baocheng took out a memorial from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Qiu Yuanbo, who in turn handed the memorial to Emperor Yong’an.

When Emperor Yong’an read the memorial, Ceng Baocheng said, “Your Majesty, Lao Chen found out that Duan Qinwang colluded with the Xiong Nu, which caused the Jin Yi Army in the north to be infected with the Xiong Nu plague. Although there were no casualties, the loss of military supplies was huge.”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers and generals gasped in surprise. Duan Qinwang stood at the front, looking at Ceng Baocheng with contempt. He snorted and rolled his eyes.

Ignoring Duan Qinwang’s contemptuous look, Ceng Baocheng calmly added, “Duan Qinwang also formed a secret army disguised as bandits in Yun Mountain to rob and kill the common people. Duan Qinwang also owns a private iron, gold, and silver mine. The workers there were kidnapped by these secret soldiers disguised as bandits.”

While everyone was still shocked, Ceng Baocheng continued, “In addition to these crimes, Duan Qinwang has recently brought his private army into the imperial palace and imperial capital city without permission. Your Majesty, Duan Qinwang’s intention to rebel is obvious. Please arrest Duan Qinwang and punish him severely according to law.”

Before Duan Qinwang could defend himself, the young Minister of Justice, Quan Yilin, walked out of his spot. He clapped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, Chen has something to report.”

Emperor Yong’an placed the memorial in his hand on the table next to the dragon throne and asked, “What do you want to report, Xingbu Shangshu?”

Quan Yilin took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Qiu Yuanbo and calmly said, “Chen has followed Your Majesty’s order to investigate the spread of the plague. From our investigation, we found out that the man behind the spread of the plague was Li Junwang, the second legitimate son of Duan Qinwang.”
