Chapter 632: Complete Extermination

Yu Youyao gasped. "He had an army of 800,000 which was almost half of the country's troops, and they still lost in the end?"

Zhou Linghuai nodded. "Initially, it was the emperor's first time leading an army, so he was willing to listen to Duke Ning's suggestions and arrangements. After winning a few battles, it was inevitable that the emperor would become arrogant. In a small battle, he was accidentally besieged by the Di Army. Duke Ning led his troops to save him, but he was ambushed by the Di people and died on the spot. The heir of Duke Ning risked his life to save the emperor, but he also died from his serious injuries."

Yu Youyao was in disbelief. "Since Duke Ning and his son died to save the emperor, why did the Ning Residence get punished later?"

No matter what crimes the Ning Residence had committed, they should be punished lightly because Duke Ning and his son sacrificed their lives.
