"This...This...Prince, I..." Lan

Geng Cunshan's whole body trembled, and he really couldn't answer these questions raised by Emperor Guangde.

But the more he did this, the more angry and disappointed Emperor Guangde was with him.

As a general, especially the commander-in-chief of the Navy, you must have a long-term vision and not be stubborn in your opinion and act in an impulse, otherwise it will indirectly bring harm to the army.

If Geng Cunshan could accept the poems and tactics of the Holy Forest Continent and let Du Ning command the navy to participate in the battle and use the mysterious cannon from the beginning, the navy of the Qidaohai Kingdom would not have such a shameful record, nor would there have been so many casualties.

If a general is incompetent, he will harm the three armies!

The Minister of War and the generals of Qidaohai Kingdom looked at each other. Seeing Emperor Guangde's appearance, it seemed that he was not joking, but that he really wanted to sue Geng Cunshan.

Even though Du Ning and others could be taken down, and then all the charges were taken to these people, they could master the technology of the mysterious cannon. Then Du Ning and others naturally had no value to use, but Emperor Guangde did not do that, which made them very angry.

They often accompany Emperor Guangde and are very familiar with Emperor Guangde's character and temper.

Because he was a descendant of the Zhou emperor, Emperor Guangde took King Zhou of Shang as a shame and vowed to be a wise emperor and never do anything to hurt loyal and righteous people.

There is no doubt that Emperor Guangde's inner sense of justice prevailed. If this matter was wrong with Du Ning and others, Emperor Guangde would not hesitate to arrest Du Ning and the others.

But this matter was exactly what Geng Cunshan did wrong, so Emperor Guangde had to question Geng Cunshan in front of Du Ning and others.

Emperor Guangde did not insult the noble identity of the descendants of the Zhou emperor, but that would have no benefit to the Qidaohai Kingdom at all.

Fan Rulong, Tian Feipeng and others exchanged glances with each other, and after secret communication, they came to a conclusion that Emperor Guangde was very serious and did not seem to be playing around.

Emperor Guangde saw that Geng Cunshan had not spoken for a long time, so he said, "Since you don't answer, you are accusing of your behavior. Geng Cunshan, do you know your crime!"

"I'm wronged, Your Majesty! I'm wronged, from the beginning, I really didn't know that there were mysterious cannons in the sea boats in the Holy Academy. If I blamed them, I could only blame Du Ning and the others. They hid everything from us just to see the jokes of our Qidao Sea Kingdom. If I had known that they had mysterious cannons, I would never dare to stop them from going into battle to kill the enemy. I was worried that they would not bear the great responsibility, so I would..."

"Enough! I don't want to listen to your explanation."

Emperor Guangde said: "As the Grand Commander, especially the navy commander, you must not only have a long-term vision, but also have a broad mind. If you were not proud and complacent, looking down on the civilization of the Holy Forest Continent, our Qidao Haiguo had long defeated the Hailong Gang, why would there be such a situation today? If you can humbly accept the civilization of the Holy Forest Continent, Du Jun will definitely tell you that they have the mysterious cannon, and they can work with you to make better plans and annihilate the Hailong Gang in one fell swoop. But you, a stupid pig, only care about your own face and only know how to belittle the civilization of the Holy Forest Continent. What's the result?"

Geng Cunshan's head was even lower. Faced with Emperor Guangde's scolding, he did not dare to say a word of refutation, nor did he dare to have any complaints.

"I am the king of a country and value the result more. The result I hope to see is to annihilate the Hailong Gang and maintain the dignity of the Qidao Haiguo, rather than to blame all your sins on others after losing tens of thousands of troops. It is simply a shame to have a general like you under my command!"

"Emperor...the emperor...I know my mistake, but I know my mistake, and I will definitely correct me!" Geng Cunshan said.

"Come here, drag Geng Cunshan out and behead him!" Emperor Guangde spoke.

This sentence is like a thunderbolt from the clear sky, exploding in everyone's ears.

Even scholars from the Holy Forest Continent almost thought they had heard it wrong.

Emperor Guangde actually ordered the killing of his commander!

No one thinks that Emperor Guangde is joking with everyone, because the emperor speaks golden words and words that are said are imperial edicts and cannot be taken back.

You have no jokes, and there are no jokes in the army!

Geng Cunshan's face turned pale, his legs were trembling in fear, and he knelt down with a "thump". He couldn't believe that Emperor Guangde was going to kill him. This was really ridiculous.

"Your Majesty, I already know that I am wrong. In view of the fact that I have no merits and hard work, please spare me!"

Geng Cunshan begged for mercy loudly, not convinced himself that even if he was wrong, he would not be guilty of his crime. He would be killed at any time. This would be unfair!

Many generals' eyes were about to break their hair. At this time, they did not take down Du Ning to seize the mysterious cannon, but instead killed their great commander. Did Emperor Guangde dare not even touch Du Ning?

Seeing that Emperor Guangde was about to take Geng Cunshan to behead him, the Minister of War hurriedly pleaded: "Emperor, at this time the two armies are fighting, and we are at the right time to use people. We must not kill the Grand Commander in an impulse, otherwise wouldn't it make the soldiers feel heartbroken and make the warriors of the Hailong Gang even more rampant? This is a matter of harming oneself and benefiting others. I am willing to guarantee the Grand Commander and ask the Emperor to spare his life."

After saying that, he knelt down on his knees and straightened his back.

"The emperor, the last general is willing to guarantee the Grand Governor and ask the emperor to give mercy."

"Even if the Grand Commander is wrong, he will not be punished until he dies. It is unwise to kill our generals. I would like to ask the emperor to give his kindness."

"Your Majesty, please spare the life of the Grand Governor!"

Many generals knelt down and pleaded with mercy.

Du Ning and others looked at this scene and seemed to be able to guess Emperor Guangde’s intention.

Emperor Guangde clearly distinguished in rewards and punishments. If it was really the fault of Du Ning and others, even if he ordered them to be captured, Du Ning and others would not have too many complaints.

But since Du Ning was not wrong with this matter, it was Geng Cunshan who did it wrong, so naturally he had to blame Geng Cunshan.

The emperor asked to kill the commander-in-chief, and the generals in the army promised to plead for mercy. This is also a very normal way of the world in the army.

Today I will guarantee you to plead. If I make a mistake tomorrow, you will also guarantee you to plead for me.

So at this time, even those who have grudges with Geng Cunshan will choose to stand up and beg for mercy for Geng Cunshan. The grudges belong to grudges and human feelings, which has been like this since ancient times.

But Emperor Guangde did not buy it and insisted on saying, "You don't need to say much. What do you want for such short-sighted people like me? If he could sincerely do it for me, how could he obstruct Yun Qijun again and again? I don't need such an incompetent general."

"People come, drag them down and kill them!"

Emperor Guangde issued an order, but no one dared to act rashly. Many soldiers hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Please think twice about my emperor!"

"Please think twice!"

Emperor Guangde looked angry, "What are you doing? Didn't you even listen to my words? It's so outrageous! I am a descendant of the Zhou emperor and control the fortune of the Qidaohai Kingdom. Could it be that I have to force me to do it myself?"

The generals were silent one after another. They still didn't really believe that Emperor Guangde really wanted to kill the Grand Commander, which was of no benefit to the Qidaohai Kingdom.

At this time, Du Ning seemed to understand Emperor Guangde's intention more and stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, the Grand Governor is just stubborn and does not know many things about my Holy Forest Continent, so he has some wrong judgments. It is precisely because he is stubborn and feels that we are not able to defeat the Hailong Gang, so he blocks us from going to the battlefield and makes some unreasonable strategies. Now the misunderstanding has been resolved. I believe he has also realized his mistake. Your Majesty should give him another chance. Let the scholars from my Holy Forest Continent work together with you to defeat the Hailong Gang, the group of sea pirates on the Hailong Gang, which is the best strategy."

Fan Rulong immediately agreed, "Mr. Du's words are just a misunderstanding. Even if the Grand Superintendent is wrong, he cannot blame all his faults on him. We are willing to take part of the recognition. Please ask His Majesty to give a look."

"Please forgive the Governor."

"The Grand Governor will not die until he is guilty, so don't kill him!"

Many scholars from the Holy Forest Continent pleaded with each other.

The scholars from Qidaohai Kingdom changed their colors and looked at each other in secret and started to communicate.

Some people suddenly realized that Emperor Guangde intended to ask scholars from the Shenglin Continent to plead with him. In this way, the generals of the Ministry of War owed Du Ning and others the affection, so it was naturally difficult to target them again.

This is the emperor's mind of Emperor Guangde. Only by joining forces with scholars from Qidao Haiguo and Shenglin Continent, the powerful pirate force of the Hailong Gang.

Otherwise, if both sides are suspicious of each other, it will be difficult for them to unite the front.

Emperor Guangde's eyes were very human. What he wanted was to defeat the Hailong Gang, rather than let the Qidao Haiguo be destroyed by the Hailong Gang.

Although doing so has some loss of the prestige of the Qidaohai Kingdom, it is the mind and courage that an emperor should have when he takes the authority of a great commander and sells the Holy Forest Continent to promote a stronger elite army.

However, the Minister of War did not agree with Emperor Guangde's approach, which really hurt the hearts of the soldiers of the Qidaohai Kingdom.

In the eyes of the Minister of War, as long as Du Ning and others are taken down, the Qidao Sea Kingdom will be able to master the technology of mysterious cannons. At that time, if the semi-saints do not come out, no enemy will be in the endless sea area.

But Emperor Guangde chose the stupidest way, which was to let Du Ning and others ignore it and use this method to mediate the grievances between the two sides, which is not a military strategist.

Geng Cunshan gritted his teeth. As the governor of the Qidaohai Kingdom, he has never looked down on scholars from the Shenglin Continent. One day he actually needs scholars from the Shenglin Continent to plead for mercy. Even if Emperor Guangde did this on purpose, it would be a great humiliation.

Emperor Guangde saw Du Ning and others pleading for Geng Cunshan, so he followed the steps and said, "Since you pleading for mercy, I will be responsible for the death penalty of the Grand Governor of Yun Qijun, and I will make you a meritorious service. I hope Geng Aiqing will take it as a warning and work together with all the literary friends to fight against the Hailong Gang."

"Thank you, thank you!"

Geng Cunshan thanked Emperor Guangde for a thousand gratitude and said, "Please rest assured, I will definitely abandon my past grudges with Yun Qijun and work together to eliminate the Hailong Gang. We will definitely formulate a perfect strategic plan to let the Hailong Gang, the group of sea pirates on the Hailong Gang know our power."

“That’s good.”

Emperor Guangde nodded with satisfaction, "Dear friends, you all get up first!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone in Qidaohai Kingdom stood up again.

Geng Cunshan immediately bowed to Du Ning and others and said, "Thank you for your request to the emperor for saving my life. I will apologize to you for your past words and deeds, and I also ask you to forgive my stubbornness."

He said this and felt very sad and angry. If it weren't for the Qidao Hai Kingdom, he would never have bowed his head to the scholars in the Holy Forest Continent to admit his mistakes.

"It's just a misunderstanding, the Grand Governor doesn't have to be polite." Du Ning said.

The Minister of War looked at all this silently and said nothing.

Emperor Guangde said to Du Ning: "Mr. Du, you will have to work hard in the next battle. I believe that if we work together, we will definitely defeat the Hailong Gang. After we eliminate the Hailong Gang, I will thank you very much."

Du Ning said seriously: "Your Majesty, don't be happy too early. Although we won a battle today, in fact, the situation is not optimistic for us."

"How do you say this?" Emperor Guangde asked hurriedly.

Du Ning sighed and said, "The Qidao Haiguo has suffered tens of thousands of troops. Although he defeated the Hailong Gang today, the Hailong Gang still retains its main force, and the Hailong Gang has another 50,000 reinforcements about to arrive. In terms of force, the Hailong Gang has an advantage. If we all cooperate with each other from the beginning, we can definitely hurt the Hailong Gang from the front. Even if the Hailong Gang has reinforcements, our army is not afraid, but now, the situation is not the case at all."

Emperor Guangde said: "Don't you have mysterious cannons? As long as you have such a weapon, no matter how many troops the Sea Dragon Gang has, we will definitely win."

"Your Majesty, don't forget that ours is just an ordinary sea ship, not a warship. The mysterious cannons equipped are very limited, and there are not many shells left. Once they are exhausted, our army will suffer losses even if it is not wiped out." Du Ning said.

Emperor Guangde immediately said, "Isn't it just some iron and stone? I can transfer the arsenal to you for operation, and I can definitely make some shell."

Du Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty has simply thought about it. It takes a lot of materials to arrange shells, and most of these materials are not available in your Qidaohai Kingdom."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of many generals from the Qidaohai Kingdom suddenly changed.

Especially the Minister of War, he was so scared that he sweated coldly on his back, and his expression became extremely ugly in an instant, and he even felt heartbroken.

It's ridiculous that he also wanted to capture Du Ning and forcefully master the technology of the mysterious cannon. If he did it seriously, it would undoubtedly kill a chicken to get eggs for Qidao Haiguo. It not only offends the Holy Academy, but also gives the excuse to attack Qidao Haiguo with the Holy Academy.

Fortunately, Emperor Guangde handled this matter very well and did not break up with the Holy Academy, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Geng Cunshan and many generals were also stunned. At this moment, they suddenly realized how smart their emperor was. They had saved Qidaohai Kingdom invisibly.
