Chapter 1023 (Everyone Will Die!)
Don't think that defending on the city wall gives a significant advantage. Although they are using melee weapons here, even a casual slash can have tremendous power. The enemy might even have the support of primordial divine beasts. Whether they can achieve a one-for-one exchange is still a question.
However, Ye Hua added, "Engaging in battle outside the city means disobeying orders, and I believe you all understand the consequences."
"As long as we can win, none of that matters," Huang Li patted his chest, ready to face the blame for Huang Yun's deceitful orders later.
"Then go back and prepare quickly," Ye Hua said calmly.
"Okay, Prince Ye, General Ye, I'll leave now." Huang Li seemed excited. As long as he could bring Ye Hua and Ye Yuanqing to his side, seize the position of the Crown Prince, he might succeed!
But Huang Li also understood one thing. If he ascended to the throne, Ye Hua would still pose a threat.
This was also the reason why the Emperor wanted to eliminate Ye Hua.
After Huang Li left, Ye Yuanqing asked in a low voice, "Big brother, don't you have a plan?""Yuanqing, I've never trusted the royal family. This guy won't make it back alive," Ye Hua said indifferently. Though his tone was calm, it carried an air of unquestionable certainty.
Hearing this, Ye Yuanqing was astonished. She couldn't help but swallow saliva, completely unable to understand. Why kill Huang Li instead of Huang Yun? Huang Li seems to be an ally for now; isn't the enemy's enemy a friend?
"Don't think about it. Let big brother handle everything. Go and have someone prepare a meal; I'm a bit hungry."
"Alright... alright," Ye Yuanqing was quite curious about what big brother was planning. The current big brother was indeed fascinating. If it weren't for the fact that she was his sister, she might have liked him. 'No wonder my sister-in-law was so infatuated with big brother. Men like big brother are truly rare in this world.'
Now that big brother has arrived, Ye Yuanqing personally went to the kitchen to prepare some appetisers for him.
"Yuanqing, you have good culinary skills," Ye Hua still had to praise his sister; she indeed did a good job.
Hearing big brother's praise, Ye Yuanqing looked very pleased. Then she muttered, "Big brother, just say it. I'm begging you."
Ye Hua remained silent, a look of 'I won't say anything.'
Ye Yuanqing was not convinced, so she walked to Ye Hua's side, then grabbed his big hand and swung it, saying, "Big brother, just say it. Sister wants to hear."
Alright, this 'big brother' made Ye Hua give in. It sounded better than 'Prince Ye.'
Apparently Ye Hua also had a soft spot for his sister.
If Ye Juetian knew, he would surely be dissatisfied. Am I not your real brother? Why do you only scold me and treat Yuanqing so well? Then Ye Hua would probably say, "If you become a woman, I can treat you the same way."
Facing his step-sister, Ye Hua felt helpless. "Alright, sit down, and I'll tell you."
"Thank you, big brother. Eat more, hehe." Ye Yuanqing vigorously served dishes to Ye Hua. If it were in the past, Ye Yuanqing would never have done such a thing.
Before, big brother would never talk to her like this. Him after amnesia is much better than before, more considerate.
"I plan to go and take a look tonight," Ye Hua said casually.
"Ah!!!" Ye Yuanqing exclaimed, then immediately said, "No, big brother, you can't go!"
"Oh? Why not?" Ye Hua was interested in hearing why.
"Big brother, the Emperor clearly wants your life again this time. He will definitely send people. There might already be spies around us. If you go out, it will be very dangerous," Ye Yuanqing said sternly.
"Yuanqing, aren't you curious about what big brother is going to do?"
"Anyway, I forbid it!" Ye Yuanqing hummed, finding his idea terrifying.
'The feeling of being cared for is really nice. In the past, Qing Ya and the others used to worry about me, but in the end, they stopped worrying. Instead, they worried if the enemy would suffer too much.'
Ye Hua said calmly, "I plan to go and talk to the opposite commander."
"What!!!"
"And then 'persuade' him to cooperate a bit," Ye Hua's tone was too relaxed.
Ye Yuanqing felt that big brother was crazy, definitely crazy, to actually go and persuade the commander.
"Big brother, don't make trouble. If something happens to you again, Aunt Le will go crazy," Ye Yuanqing worriedly said.
"That's because you don't understand your big brother's strength."
"Big brother, don't boast. I'm still your sister."
'This sister, so much like Qing Ya back then, just doesn't believe how strong I am, afraid that I'll get hurt.'
"Alright, let's not talk about this. I've already decided."
Hearing big brother's words, Ye Yuanqing was silent in protest, a face full of unhappiness, thinking that big brother was going to his death.
After a long time, Ye Hua softly said, "What's wrong? Are you angry?"
"I dare not be angry with big brother." Ye Yuanqing pouted.
Ye Hua reached out and touched Ye Yuanqing's head. Ye Yuanqing pursed her lips, not disliking Ye Hua's actions, finding it quite comfortable.
"After this matter is over, I will take mother and brother to the Sapphire Continent."
Ye Yuanqing blinked her lively big eyes, seeming a bit lost. "Big brother, you are trying to say…"
"The old Ye Hua is already dead. This place is no longer my home. My home is elsewhere," Ye Hua said indifferently, the topic suddenly becoming sentimental.
Ye Yuanqing remained silent after hearing that."In the future, when you miss me, just come down and visit. Big brother welcomes you anytime," Ye Hua chuckled.
"Yeah, I know," Ye Yuanqing said, lowering her head.
After that, Ye Hua didn't say anything, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
"Sorry to disturb you." Just when the atmosphere was quiet, Shi Yun's figure appeared at the door.
Ye Hua turned to look at this successfully slimmed-down adversary. Should he just crush him now?
Glancing at Ye Hua, who continued eating, Ye Yuanqing stood up and clasped her hands together, as a form of greeting.
"Is there something?" Ye Yuanqing asked softly.
Shi Yun said lightly, "General Ye, according to my calculations, in three days, it will be the day when the Yin energy will be the most prominent. The people from the Demon Capital will probably attack that day. I hope General Ye will make plans early."
"Okay, thanks, Shi Zun," Ye Yuanqing said, returning the gesture. Shi Yun also nodded, then glanced at Ye Hua before leaving.
However, Shi Yun, who left, was puzzled. Why did this Prince Ye give him a familiar feeling? It was a bit strange.
Every time he saw him, he couldn't help but want to take a few steps back. What exactly was the situation?
"Big brother, it's coming in three days," Ye Yuanqing said in a deep voice.
"Yeah, with ten million people, they probably don't know that they are just pawns, lured out to become the material for the Supreme Soul," Ye Hua sighed deeply. 'In the past, others often said that the original me had no humanity. But look at now, is there really any humanity left?'
