The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 401 - 264: Kill Without Mercy!

That night, Tie Muhun and Na Jiezhe led eight hundred soldiers, surging forcefully into the General Mansion.

Na Jiezhe originally refused; he didn’t want to face former generals as a traitor.

But Tie Muhun coerced him with military orders, forcing him to partake in this slaughter.

Na Jiezhe could not evade and simply followed.

However, as soon as the two brought the eight hundred soldiers into the General Mansion, the heavy vermilion door slammed shut with a ’bang’.

Tie Muhun instinctively glanced back, unconcerned.

Who would have thought that after turning his head again, he would see two teams of soldiers, clad in armor, rushing out from both sides like specters.

An overwhelming number that couldn’t be counted!

Tie Muhun gasped, even the dullest mind should have realized what was happening.

He hurriedly tried to flee, but a voice more familiar than any other called from behind, "Since Iron General has come, doesn’t he plan to sit for a while before leaving?"

Tie Muhun’s eyes widened in disbelief as he turned back.

Seeing that handsome man in black garments, his tongue tied in knots, "You, you, aren’t you... aren’t you..."

Tie Muhun wasn’t one to easily trust anyone, whether it was Na Jiezhe or the King of Bianliao.

Without personal verification, he didn’t believe that fall had made Yelyu Lie a cripple.

He once visited in person with colleagues, bringing gifts.

He dared not go alone, fearing he’d be driven away.

With colleagues from court, they couldn’t possibly expel only him.

While the colleagues exchanged pleasantries with the Great Xia Princess, Tie Muhun drove a thick needle, as long as a hand’s breadth, into Yelyu Lie’s leg.

He had just woken up at the time, but showed no reaction to the pain.

Only angrily demanded them to get out, not just him, but including his colleagues too.

Back then, Tie Muhun truly believed that his spine was indeed broken!

Leaving him a paralyzed man, without sensation from the waist down!

Heavens knew how thrilled he was!

You see, even the heavens were helping him, there was no need to plot slowly, that bastard was finished!

He made a trip to the Royal Palace overnight to report the accurate and error-free good news to the King.

Yet the King’s expression was complex, neither overly happy nor too sad, merely instructing him not to act rashly and to await further decrees.

But now...

"That needle from Iron General was truly ruthless, it pierced right through my bone."

In the darkness, Yelyu Lie approached slowly, dressed in a plain black robe that further accentuated his handsome face.

Under his thick eyebrows, his falcon-like eyes were sharp as blades, while his full lips slightly curved as if the one whose bone was pierced by a needle wasn’t him.

It wasn’t that Yelyu Lie had such remarkable endurance that he didn’t even flinch when his bone was pierced.

Rather, it was his young wife who, upon learning of Tie Muhun’s visit, had injected him with anesthesia.

It was left over from when she gave birth.

Initially, Yelyu Lie thought it was unnecessary; after all, what kind of pain hadn’t he endured, even if Tie Muhun wanted to test him?

He just didn’t expect the scoundrel would test him so blatantly and cruelly! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

That needle went through, and Yelyu Lie was immensely grateful he listened to his wife; otherwise, he’d have slipped up for sure.

Tie Muhun was increasingly unable to accept, angrily shouting, "This is treason against the King! I came here by royal decree to apprehend the rebels; whoever dares to act rashly, that’s treason!!!"

These words were addressed to the Fierce Wolf Army on both sides by Tie Muhun.

More and more people gathered, completely surrounding the eight hundred iron cavalry he had brought, with no chance of winning no matter how you looked at it.

Tie Muhun, panicked, frantically searched for the imperial edict.

Only to realize, he hadn’t brought it at all.

The secret decree instructed him to act on the fifteenth of September, but Tie Muhun deemed the current Yelyu Lie no threat and made a decision out of arrogance.

The more he panicked, the calmer the dark-clothed man on the layered stone steps seemed.

He surveyed everything coldly.

If the commander was this panicked, there was no speaking of the iron cavalry.

Facing the countless Fierce Wolf Army, they trembled all over, some couldn’t even hold onto their broadswords, dropping them to the ground with a harsh sound.

In contrast, the Fierce Wolf Army was not affected by Tie Muhun’s words at all.

In their eyes, the General was their King, no one cared about rebellion or not.

"Fierce Wolf Army, hear my command! Tie Muhun enters the General Mansion with troops, intending to assassinate this General; if any Iron Cavalry wish to join and submit, you’re always welcome to abandon the dark for light. Those who resist, kill without mercy!"

This voice, like a thunderclap in the calm sky.

Soldiers on both sides brandished their swords, fighting courageously and relentlessly.

Of course, there were Iron Cavalry willing to surrender, raising their swords to strike at the brothers they usually called close friends...

That night, the sounds of battle at the General Mansion continued until dawn.

The townspeople stayed indoors, knowing nothing.

The first to sense something was the night watchman, who would start collecting night soil before dawn from the houses of the aristocracy.

At dawn, the night watchman discovered that, throughout the Royal City, whether it was Upper Street, Middle Street, or Lower Street, everywhere was adorned with conspicuous gold-backed black-lettered banners.

On each banner, there was only one word: Lie!

Word spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, within a day, everyone knew.

Some didn’t believe it and came out specifically to sneak a look.

Finding it was true, rather than fear, the townspeople of the Royal City cheered at those ’Lie’ banners.

Meanwhile, in the Royal Palace, Yelyu Erlun was caught off guard.

He knew Tie Muhun had taken it upon himself to break into the General Mansion at night and knew what was on his mind.

But he didn’t stop him.

Conflicted inside, he nonetheless thought Tie Muhun had one point; rather than spending the rest of his life crippled, it was better to have an early end.

But that night, Tie Muhun never emerged from the General Mansion again.

The next day, the Royal City was adorned everywhere with ’Lie’ banners.

He knew, he knew it all!

Yelyu Erlun only then realized he had no one to use!

Tie Muhun’s fate unknown, Na Jiezhe also disappeared without a trace.

Without a reliable general by his side, for three whole days, he couldn’t sleep well, in constant fear.

Conclusively appointed a court military officer as head of the Imperial Guards, dispatching twenty thousand elite soldiers, to tightly guard the Royal City.

Moreover, he secretly sent letters to the Western Regions, seeking support from the Khan.

During morning court, he vehemently denounced Yelyu Lie’s rebellious actions, coercing and enticing the court military generals to lead troops to capture the rebels.

However, the vast majority of military generals in court had ties with General Yelyu, none willing to go, and made preparations on both ends.

For this, Yelyu Erlun didn’t hesitate to make an example, intending to execute two generals on the spot.

He never imagined, in his wildest dreams, that the once obedient, now utterly ruthless son would storm the Royal Palace with troops on this day!

The heads of the two generals were not severed; instead, Tie Muhun’s head was thrown before him, lifeless and unavenged...
