MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1453 - 48: Yan Nanxing’s Reception

At this moment, the Da Yan King’s retreat command once again brought back painful memories for Yan Nanxing.

Seeing Yan Nanxing’s blood-red eyes, the Deputy General hurriedly stepped forward to calm him down, fearing that Yan Nanxing might kill the scout directly.

Although the life of the messenger is worthless, as the Emperor’s messenger, he represents the Emperor to some extent.

Killing the messenger is like a direct slap to the Emperor’s face.

Previously, Yan Nanxing was hunted down by the high-ranking officials of the Yan Country for this very reason.

This time the Deputy General cannot stand by and watch his dear brother fall victim to the same fate.

"Great General, Great General, calm down, Great General, calm down!"

Under the Deputy General’s restraint, Yan Nanxing slowly released the scout, taking deep breaths, and after a moment, he said sternly, "Why retreat?!"

The scout repeatedly retreated, putting distance between him and Yan Nanxing, shaking his head as he said, "That’s something for the bigwigs to consider, I don’t know, I only know to deliver Your Majesty’s orders, the military orders have been communicated, I should return now!"

"Wait!" Yan Nanxing called out to this scout, asking, "Are the other four countries retreating?"

Upon hearing this, the scout nodded, "The Kings have jointly discussed the retreat, the other four countries should have already begun withdrawing."

The five countries attacked from different directions towards the Banner Flag Army, but were blocked by Da Qin in batches, among the alliance army, it was Yan Nanxing who fought the most aggressively and penetrated the furthest.

This is why the scout reached him last.

Upon hearing the reply, Yan Nanxing sank powerlessly to the ground, then burst into laughter, a laughter full of bleak despair.

"Hahaha, hahaha, pity my Da Yan soldiers, fighting bloodily, while behind us the courtiers and Emperor play with our lives out of cowardice, laughable, truly laughable!"

Laughing and laughing, Yan Nanxing began to cry, then got up in a daze and staggered away. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Not paying mind to the dumbfounded soldiers around him.

Everyone was shocked by Yan Nanxing’s actions, not understanding why he had such a major emotional reaction.

However, the Deputy General was quite clear-headed at this moment, General Yan absolutely cannot fall in the same place.

Immediately shouting, "What are you waiting for? Retreat, return to the capital!"

Upon hearing the Deputy General’s order, all the soldiers were stunned, and some discontentedly shouted, "Vice General Lin, why retreat, we managed to break through three lines of Qin Army’s defense and reached here, do you know how many brothers we’ve sacrificed?! Now you say retreat, our fallen brothers have died in vain?"

Upon hearing this, the Deputy General angrily scolded, "This is the Emperor’s decree, you bunch of blockheads who only know how to fight, how can you understand the Emperor’s thoughts, retreat, return to Da Yan’s base immediately!"

Hearing it was an order from His Majesty, everyone hesitated no longer, immediately moving to leave.

Yet the mumbled curses never stopped.

After arranging the retreat, the Deputy General wanted to send someone to protect Yan Nanxing but lost track of him, hurriedly ordering to send people to search for him.

At this moment, Yan Nanxing had lost his way, crazily running in the wilderness, constantly shouting, venting his inner anger.

This action immediately drew the attention of the Qin Army.

After a short while, a small squad of Qin Army surrounded Yan Nanxing.

Upon seeing his appearance, the Qin Army froze.

This Yan Nanxing was once the most famous General of Da Yan, Zuo Shahe had once praised him greatly, if he hadn’t died by his cohort’s Butcher’s Knife, Da Qin’s unification might have required the sacrifice of many more Da Qin warriors.

Moreover, after Da Yan’s demise, Zuo Shahe even erected a cenotaph for this General.

"Are you Great General Yan Nanxing?!" The Qin squad leader cautiously inquired.

Indeed, Yan Nanxing did not respond, instead, he tore off the armor from his chest, pointed at his heart, and said, "Go on, kill me, let me die, so I can be free!"

Although the other side did not answer, the Qin squad leader was certain that he was Yan Nanxing, "You are indeed General Yan, wonderful, we can actually meet General Yan, since General Yan is alone, why not come with us, meet our Emperor, when Da Yan fell, His Majesty also respected General Yan, if a meeting happens, I believe His Majesty would be overjoyed."

"Meet Da Qin Emperor?" Yan Nanxing was silent for a moment at this suggestion, then nodded, "Fine, I shall meet your Emperor."

Upon hearing Yan Nanxing’s agreement, the squad leader was thrilled, "Wonderful, please General Yan come with us, keep close."

Soon, Yan Nanxing was brought to the nearest Da Qin camp.

This camp was under the control of Da Qin General Hui’an, Zuo Sha Hui’an, upon receiving this news, immediately ran out of the tent, personally welcoming Yan Nanxing’s arrival.

"General Yan, your reputation precedes you, meeting you today, indeed extraordinary!" Zuo Sha Hui’an laughed heartily, warmly grasping Yan Nanxing’s hands.

While Yan Nanxing was momentarily befuddled by the welcoming enthusiasm, "Aren’t I supposed to be a captive now?"

Yan Nanxing hesitantly asked.

"Hahaha, General Yan, you exaggerate, where is the captiveness, your arrival is most welcome!"

"Aren’t you afraid I’m here to scout?" Yan Nanxing again tested.

"Oh please, which country would dare send their finest General for scouting? Come, come, I heard of your coming, specially prepared some wine, please come inside!"

In the Hanqiu Mountain Realm, resources are scarce but not entirely absent, hence wine-making does happen within Da Qin, albeit in limited quantity.

Zuo Sha Hui’an, as a Da Qin General, receives only one jar a month, hiding it carefully, afraid of theft, carried it along during the expedition, sipping mildly each day, utterly delightful.

"There’s wine?!" Yan Nanxing was amazed by the news, although they could survive without food or drink, but wine is never too much!

"General Yan, I received the scout’s report that the Five Countries Alliance Army retreated, I am free from duties, you and I can freely drink, besides I have reported your matter to His Majesty, soon he will likely summon you to the palace."

Zuo Sha Hui’an said, cautiously pouring wine for Yan Nanxing, then raised a cup, clinking with Yan Nanxing’s.

With a gulp of strong wine, Yan Nanxing’s mood improved greatly, although the wine was average, in such circumstances, it was a delight.

"Good wine, good wine!" Yan Nanxing laughed heartily, "You Old Qin people, truly generous! I admire!"

Yan Nanxing wasn’t foolish, to brew wine in such barren Hanqiu Mountain Realm, Da Qin’s strength is indeed considerable.

Soon, they conversed freely but neither broached military topics, such sensitive issues would ruin the conversation.

The next morning, Yan Nanxing thought he might be summoned by the Da Qin Emperor, unexpectedly, Zuo Shahe came over personally.

"Quick, quick, General Yan, rise, come with me to see His Majesty!"

Upon hearing Zuo Sha Hui’an’s words, Yan Nanxing jumped out of bed in shock, "What? Da Qin’s Emperor came here?"

"Indeed, His Majesty eager to meet, couldn’t wait, rushed over, without any delay."

Yan Nanxing was deeply moved by Zuo Shahe’s gesture.

Quickly following Zuo Sha Hui’an, reaching outside the military camp.

Soon seeing Zuo Shahe striding quickly towards him.

"Haha, General Yan, your name has been long familiar, today being able to meet, truly fortunate!" Zuo Shahe grinned broadly, naturally taking Yan Nanxing’s hand, said, "Come, let us enter and chat."

However, Yan Nanxing subtly extricated himself from Zuo Shahe’s hand, proceeded to kneel and bow towards him, "Yan Nanxing from Yan Country greets the Emperor of Da Qin!"

Seeing Yan Nanxing’s action, Zuo Shahe helplessly shook his head, "General Yan, why be so formal?"
