The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 474 Zhu Yunwen's Extravagant Hopes
At this time, news of the fall of various parts of the Khmer Empire's capital spread like snowflakes.

At this moment, the faces of the princes and ministers of the Khmer Empire were extremely grim.

Now, they don't know how to fight this battle. They have gathered all the forces they can, but it seems that they are not very useful and the losses are still very serious.

At this moment, the emperor of the Khmer Empire looked at Zhu Yunwen with a face full of dissatisfaction.

"I thought you might be of some use, but I didn't expect those guys to really not take you seriously and dare to attack you directly. It seems they also want your imperial grandson to die here!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen's expression turned extremely ugly.

He had heard before that Mu Ying and Wang Bi were following Zhu Xiong Ying and had gained Zhu Xiong Ying's trust. At that time, he was very dissatisfied and thought that it was just Zhu Xiong Ying's good luck.

Moreover, these two people, being powerful figures on the southwestern frontier, are not particularly knowledgeable about matters in the capital. Being close to them gives one an advantage; if I develop a relationship with them for a while, they might be impressed by my talent.

It's possible that they might defect to me at that time. Who would have thought that before I could even put my ideas into action, these people would attack me directly?

Thinking of this, he was terrified. After all, he was the grandson of the Ming Dynasty emperor, and now the Ming army had reached this place. If things weren't handled properly, he might be dragged out by the Khmer emperor to be sacrificed to the flag.

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth.

Now that things have come to this, we can only try to save ourselves; we can't let these guys influence us.

He said this while looking at the emperor of the Khmer Empire in front of him.

"Father-in-law, I really didn't know about this matter. I guess they don't know that I, a grandson of the emperor, have come to this remote borderland!"

"You should know that I came by water, so not many people know about this. As long as I reveal my identity, they will definitely retreat!"

"Even if they were subjects of the Ming Dynasty, they would never dare to bear the infamy of killing a royal grandson!"

"Please allow me to go to the front lines; I was actually able to persuade those two to withdraw their troops!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor of the Khmer Empire was somewhat skeptical, unsure whether he could truly trust this matter.

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen worried that his words alone would not be enough to persuade the emperor of the Khmer Empire, so he turned his gaze to the princess beside him.

The princess of the Khmer Empire was also very frustrated. She had thought that Zhu Yunwen was a capable person, but he turned out to be a useless show-off. Moreover, these people did not take him seriously at all. She should have chosen Zhu Xiong Ying instead of this good-for-nothing.

However, the current situation left her no time to consider anything else. They were now in the same boat, and if something happened to Zhu Yunwen, this princess would definitely not have a good ending either.

Having thought of this place, she stepped forward and looked at the emperor of the Khmer Empire.

"Father, I think it's worth considering the Chang family's opinion on this matter, since these Ming generals still value members of the royal family!"

"If they knew Yunwen was in this place, they certainly wouldn't dare to attack recklessly!"

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to handle the impeachments from the ministers in the court!

"We don't have many other options right now, so we might as well try anything, even if it seems hopeless!"

"Even if we do this, we won't suffer any major losses!" The emperor of the Khmer Empire took a deep breath after hearing this.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case; they don't have any better solutions besides this one.

"In that case, Zhu Yunwen, you should give it a try. I'll send some soldiers to protect you later, so don't let me down!"

Zhu Yunwen frowned. It was clear that the emperor of the Khmer Empire was using him as a hostage. These people were not there to protect him, but to suppress him. If he made any moves, they would kill him immediately.

The thought of this place filled him with rage. These people were truly vicious to come up with such a plan.

After returning, he took a deep breath and looked at the princess of the Khmer Empire beside him.

"Thank you so much, Your Highness, for helping me out today!"

Upon hearing this, the princess of the Khmer Empire gave a haughty snort.

"I'm not just doing this to help you. If anything happens to you, I'll be implicated too!"

"I never imagined you would be so useless, not even taking those two generals on the southwestern border seriously. Let me tell you, this is your only chance. If you can't resolve this matter, even if Father Emperor kills you, I can't stop you. You'd better watch yourself!"

After saying that, she turned and left the place, as if Zhu Yunwen had nothing to do with her.

Seeing the current state of the Khmer Empire's emperor, Zhu Yunwen's expression turned extremely grim.

This guy has completely torn off his own dignity. Now it's extremely difficult for him to even maintain the little bit of face he has left. He really deserves to die.

This crazy woman used to be eager to climb up to me, but now that I'm in a tough spot, she just packs her bags and leaves. These women are definitely not trustworthy.

Otherwise, he would have to rely on himself. If he couldn't persuade Mu Ying and Wang Bi to leave this time, he was afraid that his days ahead would be difficult. This was what he secretly thought to himself. After all, he was a grandson of the emperor.

There must still be some face he's saving; he can't just ignore him completely.

He felt a little uneasy after talking about this.

At this time, Mu Ying and Wang Bi's army marched in a grand procession toward the capital of the Khmer Empire.

Wang Bi looked very excited at this moment.

"I didn't expect this battle to go so smoothly. We arrived at their capital so quickly. If we can destroy the Khmer Empire, that will be a great achievement!"

Although the Ming Dynasty has many famous generals, the achievement of destroying a country is also considerable.

Mu Ying nodded after hearing this.

"Even so, we must not be careless. You must know that we only managed to win this time because of the surprise attack, but the capital of the Khmer Empire will not be so easy to take!"

"We just received news that the Khmer Empire has gathered all its remaining troops in this one place. It seems this place will be a tough nut to crack!"
