The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 403 - 266: Dead

Tie Muhun was a rare talent in statecraft and military command!

He gained the favor of the King of Bianliao.

Who would have thought Tie Muhun would change, yet his own son carved out a realm on the battlefield!

That was the son of Yelyu Erlun!

His own son!

Born to the woman he thought was most favored by him.

The son was obedient and sensible, very honest, so after Yelyu Erlun tested him for several years, he utterly gave away his power.

Yelyu Erlun always felt he was just lucky, even Heaven was helping him.

Otherwise, among his group of sons, none inherited his valor and battle prowess, how did this lad possess such natural strength?

Yet he had no scheming thoughts, only a single-minded intent on defending the country and protecting the people.

So at this moment, the King of Bianliao was even more puzzled as to why suddenly everything had changed?

In just over a year, the most favored woman fled, the most loyal son rebelled...

All because of the Seventh Princess sent by Great Xia!!!

This was a conspiracy!

A conspiracy of the Great Xia Country!

Yelyu Erlun seemed to suddenly understand, his expression somewhat frenzied, "I understand! I know now! We shouldn’t have allied by marriage with Great Xia, just shouldn’t have allied by marriage with Great Xia!

The people of the Central Plains are treacherous, crafty, and full of schemes!

Lie’er, the father-son conflict between us is all due to the treacherous plot of the Central Plains people!

What about the Great Xia Princess? Summon her to the palace immediately!!!"

"Lie’er, your father doesn’t blame you anymore, you too were bewitched by that witch, what deep-seated enmity could exist between father and son?

Forgive your father’s momentary impulse, his trust in you was shaken by this dog’s words!"

Yelyu Erlun said as he kicked Tie Muhun’s head down the nine stone steps.

With such force that the eyeballs flew out from their sockets.

He then looked at Yelyu Lie, "Lie’er, I will declare to the world, you are my son! And shall inherit the throne after my passing as the rightful prince!"

The civil and military officials below the nine stone steps perhaps couldn’t see, but above the steps, Yelyu Erlun could clearly see that outside was filled with the Fierce Wolf Army, clad in black and gold armor!

The twenty thousand Imperial Guards in the Royal Palace were almost swallowed up by the Fierce Wolf Army!

He wasn’t joking, this rebellious son really meant to revolt!

Yao’er and General Fuyuan were still on the road, in combat he had no chance of winning, even if he disregarded his reputation, he mustn’t provoke him!

"My King!!!"

"What are you talking about, My King?!"

The King’s words were spoken, and while Yelyu Lie showed no reaction, the civil servants led by the Imperial Tutor couldn’t accept it!

"Although the Prince lacks skill in both civil and military affairs, he is the Queen’s legitimate eldest son! Even if the Prince is incompetent, there’s still the Eighth Prince, how could it come to an unfaithful, disloyal rogue!"

The Imperial Tutor, known for his straightforwardness, couldn’t stand Yelyu Lie.

From the beginning, he opposed the King relinquishing too much power, giving twenty thousand troops under a child.

If he had a single rebellious thought, the entire Bianliao would be finished!

Yet the King had full confidence in this son, claiming he lacked the mind for rebellion!

Had he not feared the King’s wrath, the Imperial Tutor would have questioned him on the spot, not to forget how the King himself ascended the throne!

Though the Imperial Tutor could speak openly on most topics in front of the King, the matter of usurping the throne was an exception.

Anyone daring to mention even half a word would be taken out and executed.

No matter who they were, even favored ministers...

Those foolish enough to speak carelessly, yet favored by the King, met such ends.

Instantly taken out... beheaded...

But now?

All the trust had been betrayed by this scoundrel!

Yet the King was a coward!

The Imperial Tutor was so angered his head buzzed, already elderly and in poor health, his face flushed as he shouted, tottering as he was about to collapse.

Saved by the Grand Commandant from behind.

Also an elder himself, he looked painfully at the Mighty General clad in armor, "General Yelyu, I have always respected you greatly and can empathize with your toil at the border for years.

But don’t forget, this nation was built by the King’s own hand!

You are just in your twenties, yet rank First, second only to one, and command twenty thousand troops, all due to the King’s trust!

Perhaps the King was momentarily confused by villainous words, but he has now awakened, you too must wake up! Do not continue in treachery, or you will be ridiculed by all under Heaven!"

The Grand Commandant appealed both rationally and emotionally, attempting to awaken the Mighty General.

For in his impression, this boy was truly a good child for the country and people.

However, before his eager gaze, the man in golden armor slowly smirked, "Done babbling? Anyone else want to continue?"

Yelyu Lie cast his gaze around, silence fell everywhere.

"No more?" He chuckled lightly, as if what he was doing wasn’t a grievous crime but merely asking if anyone wished to continue to eat?

No more? No one’s eating?

Since there’s no one...

He again looked at the white-haired elder above the nine stone steps, "Reinforcements, won’t make it here, including your beloved son."

"You—what have you done with Yao’er?!"

If Yelyu Erlun had a favorite child, it was Yelyu Yao, not only because that child was born to him and the Queen.

More so, Yao’er was his first son!

Before he rose in rebellion, when the Queen was the concubine of his father, she was already pregnant with his child...

Everyone thought Yao’er was twenty-nine years old, but he was actually thirty.

Yelyu Erlun accidentally entered the harem, instantly falling for the then Concubine Wan in the Imperial Garden.

Who is now the Queen.

She was only fifteen or sixteen then, like a budding lotus, alluring and beautiful, tempting.

Their bond was bound by this connection.

Only a year later did they first taste forbidden fruit.

Back then, Yelyu Erlun felt that Wan Concubine was the person he loved most in the world.

So after becoming king, he defied all opposition and brought Wan Concubine into the palace.

He fulfilled his promise to her, not only to love her for a lifetime but to make her Queen!

But later on...

He went incognito to the Western Regions.

There he met his lifelong calamity!

Now in hindsight, filled with regret, Yelyu Erlun thought if he had another chance, he would rather kill that woman with a sword than let her give birth to this rebel!

If not for that woman, he and the Queen would not have discord, General Fuyuan wouldn’t have been dispatched to Liaodong.

Nor would there be this beast’s rebellion!

What happened to Yao’er?!

What did he do to Yao’er!!!

The King of Bianliao staggered at the possibility of his beloved son’s danger, and without the old eunuch’s support, he would have fallen.

Yet the rebellious son, baring his teeth, cruelly laughed, "Dead."
