Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2071

Chapter 2071

The Bola royal family was able to rise up against the tyranny of the imperial court, and the Archer God Ju Wuzhong played an indispensable role in this.

After returning from the Northern Wing, he secretly moved his family to the territory of the Bora clan. After that, he repeatedly persuaded Geluo's elder brother Yilu to rise up and overthrow the tyranny and establish a new dynasty.

However, Ilu remained hesitant. This prince, known for his benevolence, was worried that the civil war would cause the people to suffer again.

In fact, the ancestors of the Bola family took the initiative to retreat to the south of the Yu River in order to avoid the war and harm to innocent people.

Ju Wuzhong came up with a plan and specially invited Yilu, Geluo and others to visit the people in the name of hunting.

He knew very well that only by letting this kind-hearted prince witness the miserable conditions of the people under harsh rule could he touch his heart.

Along the way, they saw that farmers were starving due to heavy taxes, nine out of ten houses in the village were empty due to corvee labor, officials were rampant in the countryside, and the people dared not speak out.

Geluo was young and hot-tempered, and was always angry. But Yilu remained silent, with a frown on his face.

One day, in a village, they met an old woman. Her son was captured by the government and forced to do hard labor because she was unable to pay taxes. She could only make a living by digging wild vegetables.

Yilu stepped forward to ask. The old woman didn't dare to say anything, only replied in a trembling voice, "My lord, in this world... being alive is a blessing."

That night, Yilu stood alone under the moon, unable to sleep for a long time. After dawn, he went to look for the old woman again, intending to help her, but the villagers told him that the old woman had jumped into the river after hearing that her son was beaten to death by officials.

There are more than one such incidents.

As they traveled along the way, all they saw was devastation.

The embroiderer whose hands were chopped off, the strong man whose legs were broken, the teacher whose eyes were gouged out, the common people who were forced to sell their children because they couldn't afford food or medical care, the woman whose innocence was ruined because of her beauty, the husband or father whose body was left exposed at the city gate because his wife and daughter sought justice...

After returning, Yilu asked his father for permission and ordered the leaders of various tribes to gather together to discuss major plans.

The war drums of the Bola clan, which had been silent for many years, finally sounded again on the banks of the Yu River.

But Yilu has always been worried. He is not worried about Beiyi sending troops to help the court, but he is very worried about Liang.

Ju Wuzhong assured him again and again that Liang would never send troops.

Ilu asked him why he was so sure?

Ju Wuzhong couldn't answer either. He couldn't say that the Northern Wing Prince Consort had promised him.

But how could the Northern Wing Prince Consort be able to manage the political affairs of Liang State? Ju Wuzhong was also puzzled.

But he is Xin Cen Yuan.

When spies learned that Emperor Yong of Liang had signed a secret agreement with the court to send troops to encircle and suppress the Bola clan, Yilu did not hold Ju Wuzhong accountable, but redeployed troops and adjusted strategy.

At that time, Ju Wuzhong was a little depressed and knelt outside the tent to apologize.

Yilu helped him up and said solemnly, "From the moment I started the war, I have prepared for the worst. The God of Arrows does not need to blame himself." He paused and asked him, "But can you tell me what made you so sure that Liang would not send troops?"

Ju Wuzhong lowered his head and did not answer.

Yilu asked again, "Is it Emperor Mingde of the Northern Wing? Or is it the prince consort of the Northern Wing who defeated the Archery God?"

Ju Wuzhong still did not answer.

Yilu smiled, "Then let me ask from another angle. The Northern Wing Prince Consort beat you in the archery contest. Were you being modest on purpose, or is he really capable?"

This time, Ju Wuzhong answered without hesitation, "The Northern Wing Prince Consort is indeed capable. I am not as skilled as him, and I accept the defeat sincerely."

Yilu nodded, "Then I understand. Let's wait and see, don't jump to conclusions. Since he told you that he could prevent Liang from participating in the civil war in Wan, he must have his reasons. If he didn't do it, it was just bad luck, not intentional deception. You don't have to feel guilty. The world is unpredictable, who can decide?"

Yilu stopped his troops in the Mosang grassland for several months. The emperor of Wan was arrogant and said, "The Bola rebels will be destroyed."
