Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 579

[Chapter 579 The Burning Jinling]

“Why?”

Zhao Mu didn’t hear what Dou Wei was saying at all, but just repeated this sentence.   Seeing this, Dou Wei became more and more distressed. He

continued: “Mu’er, I did this for you. Now you have to cheer up. This great country is still waiting for you to conquer.”

There was a sound of hooves at the door.

Then, Xiao Cheng strode in.

“Brother Dou, Zhao Heng took advantage of the chaos and escaped. Wei Hao was Zhao Heng’an who was inserted into the imperial army. The bastard Xie Duan also let his own people be attacked and rescued Queen Xie. The maid of Yanxi Palace said that Xie Duan forced The emperor has appointed the eldest prince as the crown prince.”

Dou Wei’s thoughts are now on Zhao Mu, his face is calm, “Everyone has been scheming against each other, it is impossible for us to win every time, no matter whether Zhao Heng escapes or not, it is right for us It doesn’t affect you anymore, so you don’t have to feel guilty.”

Xiao Cheng nodded, looked at Zhao Mu, who looked like a concubine, and said, “But Jinling is not a place to stay for a long time, and Ningzhou is the territory of Xie’s family after all, and the Forbidden Army controlled by other powerful clans They didn’t fight us like the Xie family did, but they all broke away from the imperial army and escorted the children of powerful clans to escape from Jinling.”

After a pause, he said: “So, if the Xie family gathers troops to attack Jinling, I’m afraid we won’t be able to defend it. Stop.”

Dou Wei finally withdrew his gaze from Zhao Mu.

After walking back and forth for a few steps, he murmured: “Lead your soldiers to ransack Jinling, take everything you can take away, burn everything you can’t take away, and leave an empty city for Xie’s family. ”

Hahaha, it’s just what I want.” Xiao Cheng laughed.

He likes looting the city after the war the most, because at this time, he can do whatever he wants.

Glancing at the third prince again, he shook his head, turned and left.

Not long after, there were bursts of screams outside the city, followed by thick smoke.

Dou Wei just glanced, then continued to stare at the third prince.

Seeing that the third prince was always about to die, he suddenly frowned, raised his hand and slapped Zhao Mu across the face.

“Crack!” A crisp voice sounded, and five finger marks appeared on Zhao Mu’s face.

Zhao Mu, who was originally slumped, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Dou Wei.

“Mu’er, have you forgotten your great wish to become emperor?” Dou Wei shouted.

This slap made him heartbroken, but sometimes he had to use some thunderous means to a spoiled child.

“No.” Zhao Mu said instinctively.

This slap instantly cleared his mind.

Dou Wei continued: “Since you haven’t forgotten, you have to cheer up. The fact that your surname is Dou is now known all over the world. You have no other way to go except to unify and praise. Do you want to die under the King of Yan?” Is it in your hands?”

“King Yan?” Zhao Mu repeated.

Dou Wei snorted, “Where do you think Zhao Heng will flee to? Apart from Yanzhou, does he have another place to go? Now, he already hates our clan.”

Zhao Mu pursed his lips suddenly.

What he hated most now was the King of Yan. If he hadn’t competed with him for his military exploits, how could he have fallen into the hands of the Xiliang people and suffered such a great humiliation.

His eyes gradually brightened, and he looked at Dou Wei, “Uncle, I want to kill King Yan, and I want to be the Emperor of Great Song.”

Dou Wei finally smiled, “That’s right, this is my good scene, Dasong Jiangshan can be named Zhao, why not Dou, when we return to Jingzhou, we will let you become emperor.”

Zhao Mu nodded, Dou Wei is ready to establish a country.

After all, he could no longer ascend the throne of Dasong in a justifiable way.

What’s more, his father has already issued an imperial decree to make the eldest prince the heir apparent.

Dou Wei was more and more delighted, thinking of something, he continued: “If you feel comfortable, you can continue to call me uncle, I will not force you.”

Zhao Mu realized something and looked at Dou Wei with complicated eyes.

It’s just that he still can’t say the word “father”.

But he didn’t want to disappoint Dou Wei, so he said, “From now on, my surname is no longer Zhao, but Dou.

”

Turning around, he said: “You just need to wait for the news in the mansion now, and when the wealth in Jinling has been seized, we will leave here and go to Xiangcheng.”

Then, he called a family member and said: “You go immediately For a trip to Beidi, I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with King Yan only by relying on the Dou and Xiao families. We need to rely on the power of Beidi.”

Zhao Mu said: “It’s just that this is not leading wolves into the house.”

Dou Wei shook his head, “Beidi is no longer the king of prosperity. The Beidi at that time was powerless to threaten us, and because of their hatred for King Yan, they would only cooperate with us wholeheartedly.”

Zhao Mu thought for a while and stopped talking.

After a few more orders, Dou Wei left the palace.

After boarding the carriage, he headed towards Dou Mansion.

Along the road, the soldiers of the imperial army under Xiao Cheng’s command were in a panic. They rushed from one house to another with their knives in hand.

When he came out, his arms were full of silver and jewelry, and he was holding porcelain, calligraphy and paintings in his hands.

Those who stopped them lay on the ground, blood staining the ground.

In the corner, there were women’s shrill screams and the beast-like laughs of the guard soldiers.

In front, there were soldiers holding torches, setting fire to the looted house.

The fire engulfed the wooden room in an instant, and the flames shot up into the sky, turning into a fire dragon.

Dou Wei sat upright in the car, without any disturbance in his heart.

The world is about to be in chaos, and only a hero can achieve hegemony.

Compared with the war, this killing is nothing.

…

On Jiujiang, Zhao Heng’s merchant ship was far away from Jinling City.

Even so, the thick black smoke rising from Jinling can still be seen.

“Dou Wei, you are really ruthless.” Zhao Heng clenched his fists.

He knew that Dou Weiding was definitely conniving at the soldiers to burn, kill, loot, and seize Jinling’s wealth.

He suddenly felt a pang of heartache at the thought that his own palace might also be set ablaze.

If he had no choice, why would he want to go to Yanzhou?

“I didn’t expect that in my life, Dou Wei would succeed and Dou Wei would lose, that’s all, that’s all.” Zhao Heng sighed deeply.

Liang Cheng stood beside Zhao Heng, wiping away his tears.

In addition to the sadness of leaving his hometown, he also felt sorry for the gold, silver and jewelry in his mansion.

Just like Zhao Heng, now, he can only sigh.

Two days later.

The merchant ship entered the sea, and after confirming that there were no pursuers, the merchant ship went all the way north to Yanzhou.

Five days later, they came to the sea off Qizhou.

On this day, the merchant ship was sailing as usual, when suddenly a warship flying the flag of Wufeng pirates came towards them.

Upon hearing the news, Zhao Heng almost died of fright.

He has heard about the five peak pirates.

If he falls into their hands, his fate will not be any better than falling into Dou Wei’s hands.

Just when he ordered the soldiers on the deck to bend their bows and set arrows, ready to fight back.

But they found that the warship of the Wufeng pirates went straight past their merchant ship, ignoring the merchant ship at all.

Just when they breathed a sigh of relief, the soldiers on the boat suddenly pointed in the direction where the Wufeng pirates had just come.

It turned out that a huge battleship was slowly approaching them.
