Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 220

Chapter 220: I Won’t Surrender!
Seeing that he really couldn’t escape, Duan Qinwang gritted his teeth and made a quick decision. He pulled out the token hanging from his waist and secretly handed it to his eldest son.

He lowered his voice and whispered, “Take this token and run away. Go find those people in Liang Province and try to find a way to save me from Dali Si.”

Wan Yuzhe took the token and nodded to his father. While the soldiers were still tying up the ministers and generals, Duan Qinwang had already cut off Wan Yuzhe’s rope with a small dagger and handed it to him. The two of them waited patiently for their opportunity.

Just as one of the generals struggled to escape, Duan Qinwang rushed to the nearest soldiers and pushed them down with his body. Seeing the soldiers were stunned by his action, he shouted, “Run, now!”

Wan Yuzhe didn’t waste time and ran towards the horses. He grabbed the reins, mounted the horse, and rode off as fast as he could. Seeing what just happened, Jian Yi quickly mounted his horse and shouted, “Chase!”

Behind Jian Yi, a dozen soldiers quickly mounted their horses and chased Wan Yuzhe while the remaining soldiers increased their vigilance and tied the prisoners tighter.

Before Duan Qinwang could get up from the ground, the soldiers grabbed him and pushed him into one of the iron cages, “Get in!”

Thud!

“Ugh!”

Pushed into the iron cage and hit the iron bars, Duan Qinwang groaned in pain, but no one paid attention to him. After the soldiers pushed the ministers and generals into the iron cages, they locked them and returned to Dali Si. Looking at the direction Wan Yuzhe had gone before, Duan Qinwang lowered his eyes and clenched his hands tightly.

He lowered his eyes which were filled with hatred, and thought, ‘As long as Yuzhe can get those people to help me, then Ben Wang will have a chance to make a comeback. Ben Wang must endure for now and wait for Yuzhe!’

When the Jin Yi Army soldiers brought the prisoners back to Dali Si, Jian Yi chased Wan Yuzhe to the outskirts of the imperial capital city. As he chased after Wan Yuzhe, Jian Yi noticed the cliff in the distance and shouted, “Duan Shizi, you should surrender now. You can’t run away anymore.”

Wan Yuzhe heard Jian Yi’s words, gritted his teeth, and tightened his grip on the horse’s reins. After years of planning and sacrificing countless resources and manpower, he couldn’t give up.

Just as he was thinking about it, Wan Yuzhe saw the cliff in the distance. As Jian Yi said, he had no way to escape anymore. He pulled the reins just in time before the horse fell off the cliff. Wan Yuzhe looked down and couldn’t see the bottom of the cliff. Before he could find a way out, Jian Yi and the soldiers surrounded him.

Jian Yi looked at Wan Yuzhe and said, “Duan Shizi, if you surrender now, we won’t make it difficult for you.”

Wan Yuzhe looked at the soldiers wearing black masks one by one and then laughed. He laughed for a long time, then took a deep breath and said, “Surrender? I won’t surrender!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped off his horse and fell into the cliff. Jian Yi’s eyes shrunk as he grabbed the rope hung on the side of the saddle and threw it toward Wan Yuzhe, but he still failed to catch him. When Jian Yi and the soldiers rushed to the edge of the cliff and looked down, there was no trace of Wan Yuzhe anymore.

Upon seeing this, a soldier asked, “Commander, what should we do now? After falling from such a high place, Duan Shizi had no chance of surviving.”

Jian Yi looked down for a while and said, “Search for him. Dead, I wanted to see the body. Living, I want to see the person.”

The soldiers clasped their fists and said, “Yes, Commander.”

While Jian Yi and the soldiers were looking for Wan Yuzhe, news of Duan Qinwang’s rebellion spread in the imperial capital city and shocked not only the noble families but also the common people. Because of this incident, the whole city was enveloped in a heavy atmosphere as the soldiers from the Jin Yi Army searched the city for the remaining traitors and rebels.

In the quiet back palace, a young palace maid was rushing to Ci Ning Palace. She walked as fast as she could while breathing heavily. She lowered her head, not daring to show any expression on her face as she walked on the wide and long road surrounded by high red walls.

Finally arriving at Ci Ning Palace, the palace maid quickly showed her identity token to the eunuchs guarding the palace gate. Seeing that she was a first-rank palace maid, the eunuchs quickly stepped aside and returned the identity token to her. Unlike usual, the young palace maid had no time to chat with the eunuchs and left in a hurry.

Watching her disappearing around the corner of the long corridor, an eunuch asked, “Hey, what happened to her today? She left without even saying hello.”

Another younger eunuch lowered his voice and asked, “Don’t you know what just happened in Junshi Xianhe Hall this morning?”

The older eunuch shook his head and complained, “I had been guarding the gate for three days. Where do I have time to find out what happened in Junshi Xianhe Hall?”

After speaking, the older eunuch looked at the younger eunuch and asked, “Do you know something? Quick, tell me what happened today.”

The younger eunuch looked around and whispered, “Did you see those imperial guards?”

The older eunuch nodded and asked curiously, “Yes. What is wrong with them?”

Before the younger eunuch had time to answer, he saw two imperial guards approaching and quickly shut up. A few minutes later, when the two imperial guards walked away, the younger eunuch breathed a sigh of relief.
