After Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, dissatisfaction and fury immediately appeared on the Ming Kingdom emperor's face!
The Ming Kingdom emperor glared at Cao Zhengchun and nearly roared, "Useless trash! I gave you wealth and glory, bestowed such high status upon you, yet I never imagined you would be this useless!"
"What use are you to me?"
Clearly, this Ming Kingdom emperor was exceedingly enraged. After all, the Grand Ming Empire had now split its forces into three routes and begun invading the Ming Kingdom. The Ming Kingdom had reached a critical juncture of life and death.
Thus, desperate times called for desperate measures. The Ming Kingdom emperor wanted to send Cao Zhengchun directly to assassinate Zhu Ying. Unfortunately, Cao Zhengchun was currently only a Grandmaster-level expert. If he fought Zhu Ying, there would be only one outcome—he would die without even a burial place!
Cao Zhengchun naturally understood this as well. Thus, after the Ming Kingdom emperor finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun immediately knelt before him.
With tears and sobs, he said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, even ten servants like me would be no match for that Imperial Grandson of Grand Ming! Your Majesty, please spare this servant!"
Honestly, upon hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, the Ming Kingdom emperor became even more furious!
The Ming Kingdom emperor directly roared, "Utterly ridiculous!"
"If I spare you, then who can spare me?!"
After saying that, the Ming Kingdom emperor slumped onto the Dragon Throne. At that moment, despair and unwillingness appeared on Zhu Houzhao's face.
To be fair, deep down, Zhu Houzhao was also extremely afraid of Zhu Ying.
But matters had come to this: the three armies of the Grand Ming Empire had already turned their blades directly toward the Ming Kingdom. Therefore, this Ming Kingdom emperor no longer had any choice left.
