"Don't mess around, don't mess around, I'm the king's uncle..."
Although there is no attack now, the king's uncle is also very scared. When he said this, many soldiers outside stopped. The king's uncle is the king's uncle and also our prince's uncle. This is how two brothers fight for the throne. Some relatives are common, so they can't act recklessly. If they shoot and kill them casually, I'm afraid the prince will blame them.
The ordinary soldiers and generals all stopped, but when Prince Zhennan heard this, his heart immediately rose to his throat. Just now, the uncle did not come out, but now that the catapult was pulled over, the uncle came up immediately. He already knew what was going to be said.
Although he is my mother's uncle, I cannot care about family affection when carrying out a military coup. As the saying goes, a man without poison cannot be a hero. If this uncle were to say it out loud, it would damage my reputation.
The King of Zhennan nodded to a general in the distance. The general also understood what to do. He was the King of Zhennan's confidant. In addition to the king's family, there were many relatives of the Queen Mother in the palace, the most important of whom was the Queen Mother. If this uncle of the king were to speak out, then our catapults would be useless, and the soldiers under his command would have to pay with their lives. If the King of Zhennan insisted on using the catapults after speaking out, it would mean that the King of Zhennan was unfaithful and unfilial.
Judging from the current situation, it is certain that the Prince of Zhennan is disloyal, but if he is also accused of being unfilial, even if the Prince of Zhennan obtains the throne in the future, I am afraid that not many people will obey him. Therefore, his subordinates must do something, such as making this country shut up, forever.
"What a bullshit uncle! We've already been to his mansion and he's been chopped off by the king. He and our prince have always been best friends. Now this uncle is also fake. Shoot him!"
The general who was speaking was usually very majestic, and the soldiers under him believed what he said. Moreover, the king's uncle had indeed visited his home, but we didn't know whether he was killed. The man who came out said he was the king's uncle, but no one showed up after shouting for a long time.
After hearing what was said outside, the prince dared not go up no matter what. Coupled with the arrows whizzing towards him, the prince ran desperately to the bottom of the city wall.
"Why did you come down?"
The king was waiting down below. Seeing his uncle's cowardly look, he wanted to kick him up immediately. Now, apart from you saying it's useful, who else can go up? Wouldn't everyone who goes up die?
"That little bastard said I was dead and a fake. I haven't even shown up yet. Look at those arrows shot from above. They've buried a drum. I can't go up there. If I do, these people will definitely shoot holes in me."
The king's uncle was a civil servant. He was usually knowledgeable and very graceful. But now, his nose and saliva were all running. He hugged the king's thigh and dared not move an inch. Thinking of the scene just now, he even had the urge to wet his pants. Fortunately, it was relatively safe here and no disgusting things happened.
The king looked at the guards beside him, and it was indeed as the uncle said. If he forced the uncle to go up now, at most there would be one more corpse. There was no need for this at all.
"This is your spoiled nephew. You always boast about his talent and brag about him throughout the court. Now, look what happened. He doesn't even care about your life. What did you say before? You said my intelligence and talent couldn't compare to his. But I didn't joke about your life. He just wants to kill you. What a blind man."
The uncle-in-law no longer had his usual arrogance. Listening to his nephew scolding him, he nodded continuously, but he still felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.
You two brothers are the same kind of people. That little bastard outside wanted to kill me, but do you really care about my life? It's such a dangerous place up there, and you let me climb up there myself. If you didn't let me go up, why would you put me in danger?
Of course he couldn't say this. If he said it now, according to His Majesty the King's current anger, he would most likely chop him in half with one knife. This guy just wanted to save his own life now. As long as His Majesty the King left here, he would immediately run to the Queen Mother's palace. As long as he could get in, his life could be truly saved. You, the king, are doomed. The little bastard outside doesn't recognize you as his biological brother, but he will never deny his biological mother.
"Bring the third son of the Zhennan Palace to me."
The king suddenly thought of another person. Time was running out and preparations had already begun outside. According to the king's understanding of catapults, it would probably take at most two cups of tea for them to be ready. Once they were ready, the big stones could be thrown on the palace wall.
The wall in this palace looks similar to the city wall, but in fact the construction standards are completely different. After all, the wall of the outer city is to defend against the enemy, and the wall in the palace is mainly for appearance. If something really falls on it, it will not be able to hold on with just a few big stones at most. If the people outside really rush in at that time, we will not be able to hold on at all.
The youngest son of Prince Zhennan was brought here. This guy is only twelve years old now, but he is not too panicked. Looking at his appearance, he understands what is going on.
"Go up and tell your father that if the catapult is used, it will definitely kill you and your grandmother first. If you don't go, I will kill you now."
His Majesty the King used to play a kind uncle, but now his face is full of cruelty and that kind face is long gone.
The little prince didn't waste any words at this time and simply refused to let others push him. At the age of twelve, he had such courage and insight, which was unmatched by other people, including some of the king's sons, who were not as good as this kid.
"Twenty... Twenty-one..."
As the little prince walked up, he counted the steps under his feet. No one knew what the little prince wanted to do, but when he heard the sound, he always felt something was wrong. What was this kid thinking?
