Chapter 639 The Son of Heaven Defends the Country

Mu Tinng's face was cold and his eyes were fixed on the man in front of him like a sword. He entered the palace openly to force the king of his country to surrender. Did he really think that all the emperors in the world were as useless as Wanyan Lin?

However, what angered Mu Tinng the most was that the Imperial Guard kept coming to report who had come to the palace gates to beg him to surrender, but what really made him angry was that Empress Dowager, the imperial heirs and the concubines were all kidnapped by those people.

Even if Mu Tinng had no feelings for the concubines, they were all women in his name. Being kidnapped by these people was like slapping him in the face and trampling on his dignity.

"Hasn't his majesty thought it through yet?" The left emissary's cold eyes fell on Mu Tinng, obviously losing patience. Seeing that Mu Tinng did not speak, he made a gesture to his men and immediately someone killed a concubine under the sword.

"Ah!" A group of concubines, who were usually extremely noble and charming, were all pale with fear at this moment. They covered their eyes one by one and shouted. Some of them were even fainted or had incontinence in their urine when they were splashed with blood.

However, Mu Tinng did not look at them, but looked painfully at the empress dowager and her favorite son, "It is only now that I understand that even emperors can do nothing about it, but the son of heaven stands guard over the country, and the king dies, and I will not personally bury the entire Tianlan, nor will I let the people suffer because of my wrong decision. Today, I will live and die with you, but I can't do anything against the country for you, can I be blamed?"

The imperial heirs were not very old, only a few princesses were nearly ten years old, but they had always been pampered and grew up with golden branches and jade leaves, where had they ever been so frightened, and had no sense of dying for their country.

However, they did not dare to ask mu ting to save them except crying, because they knew very well that Mu Tinng had made a choice, either to let them die in the hands of the enemy or to die in the hands of their own people.

Empress Dowager, on the other hand, smiled and nodded in relief, "Your son doesn't have to worry about us. Just do as you please. As a member of the royal family, since you have enjoyed the honor of the royal family and the respect of the people, you should pay the price for it. When your mother and queen are old enough to die, you will have the face to see the former emperor."

Empress Dowager was not afraid of life and death, but worried that her children and grandchildren would be implicated. But at this time, she could do nothing. The secret guards and Imperial Guard who had been protecting them with their lives could not hold out much longer.

"Father, I fear death." Mu Huairen stood upright beside Empress Dowager, frowning at Mu Tinng, "But the emperor and the imperial grandmother taught their children that death was less important than a feather and more important than mount tai. They could not share their worries for the emperor in the future and hope that the emperor would forgive them. However, they will continue to show filial respect to the emperor and grandmother, regardless of huang quan and bi luo, and will not forget the kindness that the imperial grandmother cherished in the past."

After that, mu Huairen knelt down and kowtowed to Mu Tinng three times. His forehead was bleeding but he did not frown. He was born a little softer than a girl doll, but he seemed to be born into a family of martial generals.

"Your son is unfilial. Please don't grieve for your son. Your son will be a happy wife in the next life." Mu Huairen stood up on her own after she said this with a grim little face. She took Empress Dowager's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, but it doesn't hurt at all. Just bear with it and it will pass. When you get there, your grandson will shout for her."

Looking at the sensible and steady mu Huairen, Empress Dowager could not help but blush. If it was in a peaceful and prosperous world, mu Huairen would definitely have the qualifications to be a reserve monarch, but unfortunately this child would not be so lucky.

Touching mu Huairen's head, Empress Dowager took a breath and did not speak, but his eyes were resolute, and it was obvious that he would not miss the national plan because of his children's love affairs.

Mu Tinng's eyes reddened with admiration for Huairen's words. As an emperor, he had a lot of self-control, but he was also a person who had the feelings of being a son and father, especially the biological mother and the most beloved son who had respected and loved him all his life. He had a strong feeling of wanting to take care of them.

However, the current situation did not allow him to do so, so he could only forcefully avert his eyes to prevent himself from being bound by family ties, and coldly looked at the left emissary and said: "You have heard that I am the king of a country and will not harm the people with my own life and death. Even my mother and son are willing to sacrifice their lives for righteousness. Put away your tricks earlier. Even if I die here today, I will definitely not give you the opportunity to harm the people and fight!"

When the last two words fell, Mu Tinng got up and fought with the left emissary. The secret guards and Imperial Guard around Mu Tinng were inspired by the vow of Mu Tinng and others not to fear death to protect the people and the country. They were still unwilling to surrender even though they knew the great disparity between the strength of the enemy and me.

It was their honor to live and die together with the emperor. Even in the depths of the nine springs, they could show off to the black and white impermanence that they had never lived a lifetime for nothing.

Because of the small number of people on mu ting's side and the large number of serious injuries, they were soon in a weak position.

The controlled concubines died in screams and their cries for help became their last words.

Empress Dowager held mu Huairen's hand tightly and was protected in the middle. As for the other heirs, they covered their mouths to keep themselves from crying and stood beside Empress Dowager. Even the youngest prince knew that if Empress Dowager was killed, they would have no way to live.

To be exact, they no longer had any hope of survival, especially after seeing Mu Tinng seriously injured.

Just as everyone was waiting for death to come, a group of men in black with silver masks appeared and quickly escorted Mu Tinng and his men back to Golden Chime Hall. The left emissary's men were forced to retreat more than ten meters by them.

However, these people were not keen on fighting. After a few rounds, they immediately fled to Golden Chime Hall and quickly closed the door.

The left emissary's expression changed greatly when he heard the sizzling sound. Before he could open his mouth to make people retreat, he heard a series of explosions. As they were about to rush into Golden Chime Hall, a few men in black who were stationed on the roof threw explosives at them again.

And the fuse of these explosives had been ignited to the root, giving them no chance to intercept or kick them away.

"Retreat!" Seeing that half of the people he brought with him died in an instant, the left emissary gave an order immediately.

Although he would be punished if he could not complete the task, it would be pointless to continue fighting, which would only make the casualties of his side more severe.

However, the men in black did not intend to let them retreat just like this, and the explosives were continuously thrown at them. Even if the left emissary and the others scattered and escaped without a higher hit rate than before, they were still killed or maimed by the explosion.

Before leaving the palace, the left emissary looked at the palace which was still smoking with anger. He had already guessed the origins of these black-shirted people. Looking at the whole continent, no other country could produce such a powerful weapon except the Yan Country.

"Your majesty!" The ministers kneeling outside the palace did not know what was going on in the palace. When they heard the noise and saw the smoke in the palace, they thought that something had happened to Mu Tinng, so they could not help but wail.

As for whether these people were crying about whether they might be buried with them or whether they were really crying about the death of the emperor, only one person knew.
