Chapter 534 Forcing Him to Choose One of Two
Zhao Yi looked at Wang Qiaoxin with warm eyes, as if talking to an old friend, and said in a gentle tone, "You've come."
Wang Qiaoxin's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his fist almost smashed into Zhao Yi's face.
Before this, Zhao Yi wrote him a letter, in which he wrote that treacherous ministers had imprisoned the Northern Qi emperor, seized control of the court, and harmed the people, causing great chaos in the country, which was on the verge of collapse and would never have peace again.
Zhao Yi also asked him if he was willing to send troops to jointly attack the Right Pillar State and rescue the Northern Qi Emperor.
If he was unwilling to follow Zhao Yi and send troops to attack the Right Pillar State, Zhao Yi would have no choice but to borrow troops from the Great Zhou in order to prevent the Right Pillar State from plotting against the Northern Qi Emperor and changing the dynasty.
Wang Qiaoxin didn't believe Zhao Yi would borrow troops from the Great Zhou. Wasn't that inviting a wolf into the house?
What if the Great Zhou takes this opportunity to annex the Northern Qi?
The thought had barely formed in his mind when a soldier reported that the Great Zhou army was already at the city gates.
Zhao Yi is simply insane; he actually borrowed troops.
Wang Qiaoxin had no doubt that the moment he refused to send troops, the soldiers of the Great Zhou would enter the city.
Zhao Yi was forcing him to make a choice through her actions.
Either he sends troops to help.
Either he would have to watch helplessly as the Great Zhou army entered the country.
Wang Qiaoxin was not a reckless man; he was clear-headed.
He didn't know if the Right Pillar State truly intended to usurp the throne, or if someone was deliberately framing him, but he was certain that Zhao Yi was determined to seize the throne.
With things having developed to this point, it's clear that the Northern Qi emperor's regime is coming to an end.
If he does not send troops, Northern Qi will face two possible outcomes.
The first scenario is that Zhao Yi ascended the throne with the assistance of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The second possibility is that the Great Zhou Dynasty went back on its word, broke its promise, and took the opportunity to annex the Northern Qi.
But no matter which outcome it is, he is doomed to die.
If he were to send troops to help Zhao Yi regain power, his future would be limitless.
Anyone with eyes can see how to make the right choice.
Wang Qiaoxin was extremely displeased, but she knew when to back down: "I'm here."
“Lord Wang is a man of great righteousness, and he cannot bear to see the people displaced and destitute.” Zhao Yi smiled slightly and said, “I knew I hadn’t misjudged you.”
Wang Qiaoxin: "..." My fists are really hard.
Zhao Yi gently smoothed the wrinkles on his robe, as if to say to him: Your fists are hard, but my status is even harder than your fists.
Wang Qiaoxin: "..." Never mind, scholars are unscrupulous.
He didn't care.

Zhao Yi confirmed that the Right Pillar State had the intention to usurp the throne, and with Wang Qiaoxin following him, he followed the will of the people and led his army to attack the Right Pillar State and rescue the Northern Qi Emperor.
When the Prince of Zhenbei received the news from Yuncheng in Yingcheng, he stood on the city wall. His usually majestic tiger eyes had lost their sharpness as he gazed into the distance toward the capital of Northern Qi.
He originally thought that once he found his daughter, he could take her home and pamper her, filling in all the void of those years.
But just before he was about to see his daughter, he learned that she had already married.
Although he was filled with regret, seeing the loving couple made all his regrets turn into one thought: as long as Manman is happy, that's enough.
The noble family background of the Duke's mansion was indeed a good match for his unruly nature.
Who could have imagined that his darling would one day become a princess, and even become the most noble woman in the world?
At this moment, the lieutenant stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, when shall we evacuate Yingcheng?"
The Prince of Zhenbei replied in a deep voice, "We await His Majesty's decree."
The deputy general immediately understood that the Prince of Zhenbei wanted to wait here for the Prince of Guangling's report of victory, so that he could send troops to support him in time in case of any unexpected events.
"Yes." The lieutenant reminded him, "Your Highness, the wind is picking up. You should return to your tent soon."
The Prince of Zhenbei waved his hand, signaling him to leave first.
The lieutenant descended from the city wall, mounted his horse, and before riding away, subconsciously looked up at the wall. The west wind whipped up yellow sand that swirled across the sky, and the Prince of Zhenbei stood atop the wall, unmoving, like an unbreakable shield, silently protecting his daughter far away in Yuncheng.

Big week.
When the marriage procession arrived in the capital, Prince Yu first settled Princess Guangning in the Huitong Hall, and then went to the palace with the ministers who had been sent to Northern Qi to report back.
