Chapter 475

"Just because our capital city is surrounded," Xie Xuanchen said in a cold voice, "Let them go. Ye Luji can still be captured if we let them go, but Ye Luyan has 20,000 prisoners of war in his hands and we cannot take their lives as a joke."

Several young men were very angry after hearing this. Many of them were brave in battle and have been promoted by Xie Xuanchen. They fought with Xie Xuanchen throughout the entire battle and of course they knew how difficult it was to get to the situation they were in today, so they were unwilling to let him go on the eve of success.

But no matter how unwilling they were, they knew that Xie Xuanchen was right. The capital was still surrounded by people. The Emperor, Empress, Empress Dowager, as well as all the central government officials and dignitaries were inside. They could not take a gamble with their lives.

Xie Xuanchen stood on the ground and thought quietly for a while. When he spoke again, he had already made up his mind, "Men, bring me some pen and ink."

As he spoke, he glanced at the ground and said, "By the way, bring a new table as well."

When everyone heard Xie Xuanchen's words, they immediately clasped their fists in response. They were angry just now, but at this point, they have calmed down and didn't feel as discouraged. That was because they knew that Xie Xuanchen would always find a way to figure out the situation, some way or another.

Xie Xuanchen wrote a letter to Senior General Xu and the man in question sighed after receiving the letter.

His sons knew that something was wrong when they saw the expression on Senior General Xu's face. When they took the letter one by one and read it, they all felt sad and angry.

The 7th son of the Xu family was so angry that he drew his sword and chopped down a tree on the spot. Senior General Xu allowed his sons to vent. Finally, he sighed deeply and said to his second son, "Erlang, go ahead and call Liulang back. Open the border and let King Dongdan leave— no one will stop him."

Xu Erlang was of a mature age and had a calm temper. He didn't want to accept his father's words, but he had no choice but to accept the order. Xu Qilang was young and energetic, but not as calm as his Second Brother. Hearing this, he said angrily, "Father, are we just going to watch him leave like this?"

"Otherwise?" Senior General Xu gave Xu Qilang a deep look, implying a sense of coercion, "You are not allowed to secretly lead your men to chase him and King Dongdan must leave safely. If I get to know that you are acting rashly, I will not spare you."

Xu Qilang was so angry that he could only look up to the sky and sigh. After being immersed in his rage for a while, he asked: "Father, what about King Qiyang..."

"What King Qiyang?" Senior General Xu stopped, "You should address him by Prince An."

Xu Qilang quickly changed his mind, "What will Prince An do? Will he really hand over his military power?"

Xie Xuanchen's name was like thunder and the Xu family was full of military generals. Xu Qilang basically grew up hearing the name of King Qiyang, Xie Xuanchen. The title King Qiyang was so famous that Xu Qilang was reminded several times to let go of that name and address him by his proper title, but sometimes he would still refer to him as the legendary name.
