Chapter 462: Donyue Leaves the Capital

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When they heard that the royal family was moving the Capital to the south, the people in the Capital all panicked. This clearly meant that they were going to be abandoned.

If the royal family left, the Capital would no longer be the Capital. The army guarding the Capital would also withdraw. At that time, the Capital would really become an empty shell. Anyone could enter as they pleased. Ordinary people like them who could not follow would be treated like abandoned children. No matter what the outcome was, no one would treat them well.

For a moment, everyone was in a panic, especially when the members of the royal family rode past the main road of the Capital with great fanfare the next day.

The commoners looked at the passing carriages with grief and indignation.

The nobles on the carriages raised their heads arrogantly and looked at the commoners on both sides of the road with disdain.

The commoners could only watch them leave. Although they were angry, they could do nothing.

Suddenly, a bearded man shouted, “Villagers! The Dongyue Imperial Family was heartless! He left us behind! If the Imperial Family leaves, we will really become fish on your chopping board, waiting to be cut! It would be better to capture them all and give them to the Great Wei Army!’

“At that time, they will treat us better on account of our meritorious service! This was an opportunity that could not be missed! Great Wei’s army will enter the Capital in an hour. Those who want to fight for their future, come with me!”

The commoners were stunned for a moment. The dried hay in their hearts was suddenly ignited. The spark of fire turned into a flame, burning the wildfire in their hearts even more vigorously.

They suddenly realized that there was another solution other than waiting for death.

Looking at those high and mighty dignitaries, a huge anger rose in their hearts, wanting to turn their disdainful eyes into fear.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd threw a big stone at the group of nobles, smashing a man wearing a tall hat off his horse. Blood flowed all over the ground.

The person who had been hit had a look of disbelief in his eyes, as if he had not expected that the lowly people he looked down on from the bottom of his heart would dare to treat him like this.

Looking at the commoners who were about to throw stones at him, the man’s face instantly became filled with fear. He subconsciously begged for mercy, “Help.. Don’t..”

His appearance made the surrounding people laugh, and they felt extremely happy.

It turned out that they could also make those nobles kneel and beg for mercy!

Looking at the high-ranking officials sitting on their horses, all the commoners shouted in unison, ‘Go!”

At this moment, the Third Prince was sitting in the carriage at the front of the convoy. The line was very long. The families of the officials behind were still in

the Capital, but the people in front had already left the city gates.

Suddenly, a general ran to the front of the convoy and shouted, “Report-

The Third Prince unhappily lifted the curtain and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Your Highness, the carriage behind us has been attacked!” the general reported hurriedly.

The Third Prince’s expression froze and he asked with a dark face, “What happened? The Wei army arrived so quickly?”

The general shook his head and hurriedly said, “I don’t know what happened to those people. There was a sudden riot. Those who hadn’t come out in time were all captured by them. The people guarding the city gate were also killed by them. Now that the city gate is closed, no one knows what’s going on inside.”historical

After hearing this, the Third Prince was furious. “This bunch of lowlifes!”

The Chancellor frowned and said, “Your Majesty, if those people can’t leave, then we won’t bring them. Let’s leave first. Otherwise, it will be difficult to leave when the Wei army arrives..”
