The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1039

[Chapter 1039 Temporary Ending]

After hearing Lin Tian’s behavior, the shopkeeper said to Lin Tian, and asked Lin Tian to go back to his home quickly and not stay in the restaurant.

“Shopkeeper, you just keep locking the door, we will leave later. We will wait until the fight outside is over before going home, otherwise we may be in danger before we get home.”

Lin Tian said to the shopkeeper, and then went back to the second floor wine table and drank some wine. The housekeeper was helpless. It was not that

Lin Tian could not go home, but he was waiting for the fight to end and wanted to go for a tour.

If his plan failed, it might not be just the soldiers guarding the city who would be affected, but also the emperor and others in the palace. Even the people in the city might suffer from the massacre and revenge of Qi State, so he had to make sure that his plan was successful the next day before he could go home safely.

Lin Tian drank one cup after another, showing her inner tension at the moment. The housekeeper opposite also clenched the wine glass in his hand, showing the same expression as Lin Tian.

Although this war had nothing to do with Lin Tian directly, the idea was from Lin Tian, so Lin Tian must see the result of this war with his own eyes.

Lin Tian couldn’t see the image of the city wall in the restaurant, so he didn’t know how fierce the war was at this time.

Now, the city wall was no longer the same group of people who jumped onto the city wall before. Waves of people climbed up the city wall, and the Yan army also defended wave after wave, and did not let the Yan people cross the city.

On the city wall, the bodies on both sides were already over the knees, and it was difficult to find a place to step.

However, the soldiers of Qi still climbed up the city wall wave after wave, trying to cross the city wall and open the city gate. Only by opening it, can their Qi army enter Yan.

Qi had absolute confidence to take down Yan in a head-on confrontation.

The only advantage of Yan was this city wall. If they lost this city wall, they would lose the chance to live, so they also fought desperately.

The Yan people thought that their relatives, friends, and relatives were standing behind them. Therefore, they had the strength to resist and fight Qi.

Finally, after several hours of resistance, Yan State finally found an opportunity and drove Qi State under the city wall. As long as anyone dared to approach, they would throw down the stones and logs they had prepared before. Seeing Yan State like this, the people of Qi State were powerless and could only retreat to a safe distance.

After several hours of fighting, they also needed to replenish their physical strength, so their Tongliang had to give the order to retreat.

An unwilling “sounding the gong to withdraw the troops” was accompanied by the sound of Yan State soldiers shouting victory on the city wall.

Behind them, there were tens of thousands of people behind them. After hearing that they had won, these people also shouted loudly.

“Victory, victory, we won…”

Although more than two hours had passed, Lin Tian was still sitting in the restaurant, as if he would not leave until he heard the news.

Finally, he heard the voice he had been waiting for in his heart for a long time. When he heard this voice, Lin Tian seemed to put down all the burdens he had been carrying before, and instantly felt more than twice as relaxed.

He sighed deeply, and unknowingly, his legs were numb from sitting today. When he stood up, if the butler hadn’t helped him from behind, Lin Tian would have fallen to the ground.

“Butler, tell me if what I heard was true?”

Lin Tian thought he was hallucinating, so he asked the butler to confirm it.

“Yes, young master, you are not hallucinating. We are indeed victorious.”

The butler confirmed to Lin Tian.

“Butler, let’s go to the city wall to see what’s going on. Did Qi send out a large army or just a small-scale harassment?”

As if thinking of something, Lin Tian hurriedly said to the butler. At the same time, he wanted to leave the tavern and go to the city wall.

The butler didn’t want Lin Tian to go to the city wall now, after all, the situation was still unknown.

If the Qi army pretended to retreat and deceived the emperor of Yan to go and check, if they attacked again, it would be really bad for them.

“Master, look at the sky now. I’m afraid it’s already past midnight. If we go now, won’t it disturb General Gan Mao who is organizing the battlefield?”

The housekeeper persuaded Lin Tian from the side, not wanting Lin Tian to go and check the situation now.

“Besides, the emperor will definitely hold a morning court tomorrow and summon all the civil and military officials to the court. By then, won’t the young master be able to understand the situation tonight more clearly in the court?”

Although what the housekeeper said made sense, he still had to go and see it in person today, after all, this was his plan.

Although he would win, he believed that there would be heavy casualties. If the Qi army attacked again when they were not well organized, my father and his men would suffer another blow, and even lose their lives and the city.

“No, I must go and check it out in person. Housekeeper, you don’t have to follow me. Go back and find the fast horse censor and ask him to go to the palace overnight to check on the emperor.

I’m afraid that Qi will attack from both sides. On this side, they will attack the city, and on the other side, they will send assassins to assassinate the emperor.”

After hearing what Lin Tian said, the housekeeper was also stunned. He obviously didn’t think of this level. If something unexpected happened to the emperor, even if the city was successfully defended, it would probably fail.

The housekeeper hurriedly ran towards the residence of the Imperial Censor, and at the same time shouted: “Master, you must be careful. I will go to see the Imperial Censor and come back to find you.”

After hearing his words, Lin Tian smiled and walked towards the direction of the city.

Before reaching the city wall, dozens of meters away from the city wall, Lin Tian smelled a strong smell of blood.

Lin Tian resisted the urge to retch, and continued to walk towards the city wall in front.

After finding the stairs from the city wall, Lin Tian walked up the stairs. He saw corpses lying on both sides of the stairs, and a passage for two people to pass through had been cleared in the middle of the stairs.

Seeing the corpses on both sides, Lin Tian felt more and more retching, but he had no choice but to endure it and continue forward.

Lin Tian had never seen so many corpses, nor had he been in such close contact with corpses, so he was psychologically afraid.

After seeing Lin Tian, the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield asked him about it. Knowing that he was an official in the court and was looking for General Gan Mao, they wanted to lead Lin Tian to find Gan Mao.

“Sir, why are you here now?”

Gan Mao was very surprised when he saw Lin Tian.
