At this moment, Nan Yu couldn't help but start fantasizing about her bright future.
At that time, without the incomparably powerful Great Liang, and without Zan Rihong who had nothing to control, I was free from all constraints.
On that day, I will be the supreme king!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel his blood boil.
When the time comes, I must order that fat woman to commit suicide and desecrate Zan Rihong's grave. Then I'll marry hundreds of beautiful women and sleep with them every day; that's what a true king will be.
For now, let's just endure this humiliation.
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Since that's the case... Holy crap..."
He was speaking when he suddenly heard a huge roar, followed by the entire palace grounds shaking, which made him swallow his words.
"Not good!"
Zan Rihong's expression changed drastically. He would never forget that voice; it was clearly the work of Great Liang.
Back when we were at Flying Hero Pass, we first heard a loud bang, and then a flood swept through the area. That was a nightmare that will never be forgotten.
Hearing that voice again filled him with fear, and his previous composure vanished.
Could it be that Li Ru is resorting to his old tricks again, intending to flood the royal city?
Thinking of this, he no longer cared about fooling Nan Yu and said in a deep voice, "Someone, go out and see what happened."
"Yes!"
The guards dared not delay and immediately went down to investigate.
Seeing Zan Rihong's gloomy face, Nan Yu's heart skipped a beat. This old fellow's apprehension was probably not good news.
He swallowed hard and whispered, "Father-in-law, have you heard that voice before?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp gaze shooting straight at him, which made him quickly lower his head and dare not ask any more questions.
At this moment, Zan Rihong was like a wild beast, in a state of panic and defense.
If you provoke him, he will definitely explode.
Zan Rihong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "It's best if you don't know about this, otherwise it will be your nightmare!"
Nightmare?
Nan Yu's heart sank, and she immediately had a bad feeling. Could something really have happened?
The guard returned quickly, but his face was deathly pale.
"My lord, someone has attacked from behind and has already entered the royal city!" He disregarded the king and spoke directly to Zan Rihong.
"What?"
Zan Rihong's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly stood up from his seat.
Someone actually attacked from behind! Who was this person again? Could it be that the Great West Empire crossed that massive Hengduan Mountains and came straight here?
But that's impossible. People can't even pass through that place, let alone a large army. Besides, the Great West Empire seems to be in trouble right now, so they shouldn't have time to bother Zhennan.
He looked at the guard and said in a deep voice, "Does the other side have any insignia, or any information?"
"This..."
A hint of hesitation flashed in the guard's eyes, and he looked at him with some difficulty.
"Speak!" Zan Rihong said in a deep voice.
The visitor identified himself as Zhou Yu of the Great Liang!
After saying this, the guard lowered his head, not daring to look at his master. One can imagine that he was absolutely burning with rage.
really!
" Great Liang?"
Upon hearing his words, Zan Rihong's face instantly turned ashen, and a murderous glint appeared in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and said, "How is this possible? How could Great Liang have come from behind us? We're a hundred and eight thousand miles away from Great Liang!"
These two places, one in the south and one in the north, are more than a thousand miles apart. How could the Great Liang possibly launch an attack?
And that Zhou Yu? I've never heard of such a person in Great Liang before. When did he suddenly appear?
The Great Liang has attacked!
Nan Yu trembled all over and almost fell off the throne.
I was just saying I was going to play it safe, how come Great Liang has attacked now? And from behind at that, doesn't that mean I have no way out?
Thinking of this, his face turned deathly pale.
He asked in a trembling voice, "Father-in-law, what do we do now?"
snort!
Zan Rihong glanced at him, ignored Nan Yu, and looked directly at the guard, asking, "How many people have come, and where are they now?"
"According to the information, the enemy has at least 100,000 men. They are extremely powerful and seem to have come from the sea!" the guard explained.
maritime!
Nan Yu and Zan Rihong's expressions immediately turned extremely ugly; it was truly a case of Great Liang.
The Great Liang Navy was able to cross the sea and destroy the Yamata Nation, so its naval strength must have been extraordinary, and it's understandable that it could cross the endless ocean.
However, if this were to happen, Zhennan would be doomed.
Snap!
Zan Rihong slumped into her chair, looking somewhat dejected, and said, "This is a huge problem. We're surrounded by enemies, what should we do?"
In this situation, Zhennan is practically locked out.
Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only a little over 100,000 people behind them. Those are 100,000 ruthless individuals capable of fighting across the sea, and their combat power is far beyond what ordinary people can match.
With only 200,000 remnants of their own army, it will probably be difficult to defeat such a ruthless person.
Besides, they have a million-strong army in front of them. If they delay us a little from the rear, we won't even need to fight anymore; the outcome will already be decided.
surrender!
He considered this possibility; perhaps this was the only way to escape this calamity.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Nan Yu on the throne, his eyes turning strange.
"Father-in-law, what are you doing?"
Looking into his eyes, Nan Yu sensed a deep malice and began to panic.
The father-in-law had seemed all amiable just moments before, even using his daughter to bind him, but the hint of malice he showed just now was definitely genuine.
This old man, is he planning to surrender by offering himself up?
Cough cough!
Zan Rihong coughed twice and said awkwardly, "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. I was just thinking about how to repel the enemy; I didn't mean anything else."
"Oh, then how do we repel the enemy?" Nan Yu pressed.
Zan Rihong glared at him, her face darkening, and said, "This is a bit difficult. I'm still thinking about it."
There's no doubt that we can't win a fight.
Now the only options are to abandon most of your belongings and sneak away, or to surrender directly; there are no other choices.
In Great Liang's eyes, he was a fat sheep; if he did nothing, Da Liang would definitely drain him Great Liang.
He wasn't willing to take the risk of surrendering without a guarantee of safety.
After thinking for a moment, he summoned his trusted aides and asked, "Where have Zhang Liao and Li Ru gone? They should be entering the capital soon, right?"
"Yes, sir, they have already swept through three major cities ahead. Now we only have the royal city left," the confidant sighed and whispered.
Zan Rihong glanced at Nan Yu and said in a deep voice, "Send someone to contact the other side. We are willing to surrender, but the safety of me and the king must be guaranteed."
