The bearded Lieutenant General Luo stood in place, his eyes flickering, as if he was experiencing a fierce struggle and hesitation in his heart.

However, the people following him were not happy! They stared at Li Shiliu with wide eyes and angry faces.

One of them took a sudden step forward and shouted, "Boss, the brothers have made up their minds to gamble their lives on this one, and we will go all the way to the end!

You are actually hesitating and wanting to go back on your word now, are you trying to drag all of us down with you to our deaths?"

Another person also echoed: "Yes, Boss! You must not back down at this critical moment!

The lives of so many of our brothers depend on this one gamble. If we succeed, we will enjoy endless wealth and glory; but if we fail, we will all die together!

The situation is favorable to us now, so please don’t be confused…”

At this moment, a confidant beside Deputy General Luo hurried forward, tightly grabbed Deputy General Luo who was still hesitating, and whispered in his ear in a low voice: "General, the brothers are right!

If we retreat at this time, not only will all our previous efforts be wasted, but it will also put everyone in a desperate situation.

It’s better to give it a try, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope…”

However, before the confidant could finish his words, Li Shiliu, who was watching coldly from the side, finally couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Humph, this is ridiculous!

What advantages do you think you have?

Let me tell you, what you are doing today is called treason!

For committing such a heinous crime, it would not be excessive even if all nine generations of the clan were exterminated!

You must know that you are all loyal and brave soldiers of our Da Chong Dynasty. The armor you wear, the weapons you hold in your hands, and the salary you receive on a daily basis, every penny of it comes from the treasury of the Da Chong Dynasty. They are all gifts and trust bestowed by the court!

And now you are actually trying to betray the court for the sake of fame and wealth. You are simply ungrateful people who are despised by the world!"

Li Shiliu was standing on the steps. Her imposing face was like an iceberg, making people dare not look directly at her. Especially her sharp eyes, which were slowly scanning the group of tall, strong and aggressive men in front of her.

These men were all tall and strong with strong muscles. They should have been full of masculinity, but under Li Shiliu's gaze, they couldn't help but lower their heads slightly.

Li Shiliu said coldly: "You are all the passionate sons of our Great Chong Dynasty. You all dream of making achievements and having a wife and children. This is human nature and there is nothing wrong with it.

However, if the path you choose deviates, then the achievements you originally desired may turn into a disaster that will lead to the extermination of your entire clan!"

At this point, Li Shiliu paused for a moment, looked around at everyone, and then continued, "Please forgive me for daring to say something disrespectful.

These vast rivers and mountains belong to our great Da Chong Dynasty, and even more so to His Majesty!

His Majesty has naturally made profound and thorough considerations on the matter of appointing a crown prince and who will inherit the throne."

At this time, Li Shiliu put his hands behind his back and continued, "Your Majesty is now in his prime, full of energy, and has always worked hard to govern the country, so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment.

Moreover, His Majesty has more than 20 princes. To select the most suitable heir to the throne, it is necessary to go through a comprehensive consideration and weigh the pros and cons. Such a major matter cannot be hastily decided in a short period of time."

Li Shiliu once again scanned the room with her sharp eyes, raised her voice and asked, "Do you think you are wiser than His Majesty and want to have the power to decide which prince will inherit the throne in the future?

Humph! Or are your actions equivalent to forcing the emperor to abdicate and usurping the throne?

Please think carefully, don't become a historical sinner, recorded in history books, and cursed by future generations."
