Chapter 1475: Chapter 1474: Can It Still Be Stopped?
Chu Wang is about to set out immediately.
Chu Lingyang grabbed him sharply.
Accidentally, he pulled on the wound on his arm.
Chu Wang was already exerting himself to endure, but still couldn’t help groaning.
The wound on the arm was inflicted by those swordsmen earlier tonight.
So as not to worry everyone, he casually bandaged it before returning and then changed his outer robe.
Now outwardly, it appeared as though nothing was amiss.
But when Loyal Brother grabbed him, it happened to be the injured spot, causing him to sweat profusely from the pain.
Chu Lingyang rolled up his sleeve, and sure enough, the spot was wrapped with several layers of gauze.
The gauze now had bloodstains, freshly oozing through.
"Someone, quickly call the Imperial Physician!"
"Loyal Brother, it’s not necessary, I’m fine."
"No way!"
At present, the Emperor hasn’t fully recovered. Although the Princess is handling affairs in the palace, the Fourth Prince is also assisting her.
If the Fourth Prince were to fall ill at this time, who would help Little Lili?
Chu Lingyang, a simple man, might be good at military maneuvers, but comprehending people’s minds and deciphering others’ schemes is beyond his reach.
"Loyal Brother, I’m really fine, but if we don’t stop King Yu from leaving, once he returns to the north, he’ll surely lead an army to invade."
By then, the Imperial City will be in danger!
Even if they don’t manage to attack the Imperial City, the people along the borders will inevitably be caught in the flames of war, living in distress.
Moreover, once war breaks out domestically, neighboring states or even small countries will surely seize the opportunity to invade.
In summation, if King Yu returns north, Nanming will be in grave danger.
He must not be allowed to escape back!
"But even if you go out there, you may not be able to prevent it. You don’t even know which team he is in."
This is the most discouraging and even desperate part.
If King Yu’s residence sends just a small group, it throws everything into chaos; this is only the first day, how long must this go on?
Can they possibly use all their forces just to prevent King Yu from leaving the city?
This is extremely tiring.
After a while, no one can hold on.
"Perhaps... maybe ask for Little Lili’s opinion?"
Chu Qianli has gone back to rest.
Aware that she has been very weary lately, Chu Wang took on the task of preventing King Yu from leaving the city himself and even sought Loyal Brother’s assistance.
Seeking Little Lili’s advice might bring a solution, but... not necessarily.
If Little Lili doesn’t have a solution either, it would only add another worry for her, why bother?
"Forget it, I will try chasing him a few more times. Fourth Brother, stay and rest for a while, tomorrow... we’ll discuss if there’s something tomorrow."
After speaking, the Prince personally led people out again in pursuit.
As for how many more times he could give chase, he himself didn’t know either.
After running back and forth like this, even if he doesn’t sleep or rest, it may not stop anything.
Moreover, who can remain sleepless?
Could they directly trap King Yu in King Yu’s residence?
It’s not as if the thought hadn’t crossed his mind.
But inevitably, it would lead to a battle.
Dealing with this situation is truly difficult!
All night long, Chu Wang and Chu Lingyang were worn out.
Dawn was breaking.
Just as Chu Wang and Chu Lingyang thought that King Yu was finally going to calm down, unexpected news arrived that King Yu seemed to have left through the North City Gate!
When Chu Lingyang and Chu Wang received the news, King Yu’s team had already departed from the North City Gate.
Chu Lingyang immediately changed his clothes, not even having had a moment’s sleep, having to set out again to intercept.
But if people have already left the city, can they still be stopped?
