Chapter 812 Punishment for the Intruders
Chu Tianxiong smiled and said, "Because he is not outstanding enough, not strong enough, and far inferior to me back in the day."
"Hmph, you're lying."
Duo Duo pouted immediately, "Daddy is the most powerful and mighty hero. I won't play with you anymore."
Duo Duo angrily threw away the brush, stomped her little feet, and left with a pout on her face.
Chu Tianxiong and Mr. Zhong exchanged a glance and just laughed.
"This little girl, she's still close to her dad after all."
Chu Tianxiong stood with his hands behind his back, and suddenly his eyes became deep and profound. "Mr. Zhong, as a father, have I failed?"
"Your Highness..."
Mr. Zhong was momentarily speechless and didn't know how to answer. He could only sigh complicatedly and say, "One day, Master Feng will understand your good intentions."
"I don't expect him to forgive me either; after all, it was my fault toward him and his mother."
Chu Tianxiong's face remained calm, but in his deep and profound eyes, there flickered a deep sense of guilt.
Although he married the daughter of the Su family as a trade in order to gain the support of over a hundred prestigious families of the Su family, this allowed him to have enough military funds to
finish that national battle and prevent eighty thousand soldiers from freezing to death on a snowy mountain!
He never wavered in his heart and never set foot in the room of the daughter of the Su family for the past twenty years of their marriage. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Although he was revered by billions of people in Donghua for his immeasurable merits,
Although there were many things...
But in the end, he had let down Chu Feng and Ye Qingrou.
He had never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father and a husband.
In this world, how can one have both the country and loved ones simultaneously?
After a long silence, Mr. Zhong stepped forward and presented a report.
"Your Highness, the royal family of Xi Xia has sent their tenth surrender letter, willing to submit to Donghua from now on, paying tribute every year, and pledging eternal loyalty without betrayal."
"The officials from the Archives Department and the court have jointly signed this report, with over seventy percent of them believing that, in the spirit of humanitarianism and to demonstrate the magnanimity of a great nation, we should accept their submission and let Master Feng withdraw his troops."
Chu Tianxiong walked to the pond, casually sprinkled some fish bait, and sneered disdainfully, "Humanitarianism? Magnanimity of a Great Nation"
"I'm afraid that the beauties and treasures from Xi Xia have tempted these nobles and aristocrats so much that they are unable to resist. That's why they're pretending to be merciful."
"That's... true!" Mr. Zhong said with a forced smile, sighing helplessly.
Xi Xia was an ancient country with a history spanning thousands of years. Countless treasures were national gifts and were priceless.
Xi Xia was also a place known for its beautiful women since ancient times. Those high-ranking officials had always admired the Xi Xia beauties for their distinctive exotic charm. Many of them gave in because of these things.
Chu Tianxiong's voice was cold and calm but resounding. "When the Xi Xia cavalry attacked our Donghua territory, burning, killing, looting, and occupying our cities, did they ever think about humanity? Now that they have been cornered, they suddenly remember to beg for mercy with a surrender letter, thinking that it can absolve them of all their sins. No way!"
"Xi Xia is ungrateful. When it was weak, it pretended to be pitiful to win your sympathy and favor. But once it finds an opportunity, it will immediately turn its back on you and attack you."
"We can't show mercy to them. We have to break their spirits and make them surrender!"
He waved his hand, his voice cold. "Order Chu Feng and all the generals of Xi Ye, a 300,000-strong army, to set out today and directly attack their center, annihilating the royal family of Xi Xia!"
"Let these people understand that those who provoke our national dignity will be punished no matter how far they are!"
