Pig Killer

Chapter 364

"The capital has fallen, how can the border troops not come back to help? The road to the northwest is smooth, and the cavalry can reach the foot of the capital in the blink of an eye." General Yu looked at them seriously and said, looking at the princes with contempt, "Do you still want to attack the capital?"

"No, no!" They all looked pale and shook their heads like rattles, refusing decisively.

"Your Majesty!" General Yu raised his eyes slightly and looked at the king, whose crown was crooked, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you want to divide the troops?"

He must not be frightened by this young boy. He straightened his clothes, coughed twice, and said loudly, "My dear ministers, who can take on this important task for me? And also share the worries of the young general."

The king glanced at the princes. They were shrinking like quails, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"No one is willing?" The king looked at them disappointedly and said.

"I am willing!" Huang Zhongchang said loudly with his hands clasped together.

Upon hearing this, the king sat up straight and became alert.

The king looked at him with extremely gentle eyes and said, "If Mr. Huang goes, don't worry about the food and grass! I will prepare it for you." He added kindly, "If you need anything else, please let me know."

"I don't have anything to suggest. Just give us seven days' worth of food and fodder. As for armor and weapons, we don't need them." Huang Zhongchang looked at the king with a sincere gaze, then looked at General Yu and said, "Give the food and fodder to my brother! He has more."

"Brother, you really have to go! You know how dangerous the capital is." Young General Yu said to the guy who was not aware of the danger.

"Everything is dangerous. You are dealing with government troops. They are numerous and have won a great victory. They are a tough nut to crack." Huang Zhongchang looked at him solemnly and said, "We are few in number. We can mingle with the common people, sabotage and create chaos. We can probably scare them, right?" he said simply and easily.

General Yu looked at him innocently and said, "It's not as easy as you say."

"How do you know it won't work if you don't try?" Huang Zhongchang said calmly.

"Even if we succeed by luck, what if the 400,000 border troops come back to support us?" Young General Yu looked at him unhappily and said.

"Let's run!" Huang Zhongchang said with a scoundrel look on his face, "Brother, have you forgotten how we escaped from the capital?"

"They are cavalry. Can your two legs outrun four legs?" Young General Yu asked, looking at him intently.

"Then I will close the city gates and stay inside, waiting for my sworn brother to win and come rescue me." Huang Zhongchang said with a scoundrelly grin.

"You really are." General Yu looked at him helplessly and said, "With just your small number of people."

"It's not easy to be discovered when there are fewer people!" Huang Zhongchang said with a smile on his face, and gave him a reassuring look, "Don't worry, it's a good thing to share a little with my brother."

"Brother!" General Yu looked at him with a moved expression and said, "You really want to go."

"Go!" Huang Zhongchang looked at him firmly and said, looking at the king with a greedy look on his face, "If you really want to win, the king must keep his promise!"

The king stood up, looked at him through the pearl curtain, and said, "Take over the capital, and I will make you king."

"You can only gain wealth and honor through risk!" Huang Zhongchang looked at General Yu with fanatic eyes and said, "I am a peasant, but I have managed to be crowned a king. I am so proud of myself. What else can I expect?"

"Young General Yu, it's rare to have such a loyal and righteous brother to share your burden, so don't stop him." The king looked at him with emotion and said.

The other princes felt uncomfortable after hearing this. What did this mean? Was it saying that they were heartless and ungrateful?

"Is there anyone willing to share my burden with Lord Huang?" the king said in a very good mood, glancing at the princes one by one. As expected, he was not disappointed. They were a bunch of cowards who were afraid of death.

They really can't be compared with the Huang Qing family. Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. With their cowardly behavior, even God won't favor them.

The princes secretly glared at Huang Zhongchang, the ostentatious brat.

This guy is so stupid. That's the capital. With the thousand men under his command, he can capture the capital.

So what if you can fight? Dream on!

Along the way, they didn't know which city they were in before they were destroyed by the government troops.

Humph……

No one can stop you from seeking death if you want, but don't think of asking them to take the blame for you!

"Since no one is willing, I will personally send Mr. Huang to the battlefield." The king stood up and said to Huang Zhongchang with energy.

"I thank the king and will live up to your expectations of me." Huang Zhongchang clasped his hands together and said, his head lowered and the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.

"Three days later, I will personally send Lord Huang off to the battle." The king said confidently.

&*&

After leaving the hall, General Yu pulled him aside and said, "Brother, why are you so stubborn? How dare you take on such a dangerous mission?"

"Brother, there is no danger in anything you do. It's much more dangerous for you to deal with the government troops than it is for me." Huang Zhongchang paced around and said without exaggeration, "A real army of tigers and wolves." He added with a gentle face, "I'm not like your family of generals. Can we not fight?" Then he said, "We are all on the blacklist of the government troops. They will never let us go. We might as well take the initiative to attack and fight our way out to have a chance of survival. You can't escape the fifteenth day if you can't escape the first day."

General Yu stared at him with his dark eyes, and all he could say was one sentence: "Take care on your journey."

"You too." Huang Zhongchang clasped his hands together and said.

&*&

After parting ways with General Yu at the palace gate, Huang Zhongchang and his men ran all the way back to the camp. "Pass the order down, pack up, we'll set out in three days!"

"I obey your command!" Tie Feng and Chen Qingyun bowed in response.

Huang Zhongchang was as happy as a child. He looked at his wife and said, "We can attack the capital this time!"

"Sure!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her warm eyes and said, raising her eyebrows and looking at him, "You look so happy!"

"Once we take over the capital, we will know the resourcefulness of the world." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with great enthusiasm.

"Material resources?" Shen Hui'e blinked when she heard that. Is that what she was thinking?

"Population, land, minerals, taxes..." Huang Zhongchang said to her with green eyes, looking at her like a hungry wolf.

"I thought you were only concerned about the gold, silver and jewelry in the palace!" Shen Hui'e said to him with raised eyebrows.

"Of course I miss them. They are a collection of rare treasures from all over the world." Huang Zhongchang said with a serious face, drooling, "But we can't protect them without strength!" He smacked his lips and smiled, "It doesn't prevent us from taking a look and touching them!"

"Haha..." Zhang Jixian laughed unkindly when he heard that.
