The crooked word says: "
Since ancient times, the royal family is ruthless, and it is difficult to say that there is a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. Striving for power and profit while sitting in the court will not avoid killing people. If I had known that the palace and garden would be deserted, I would end up alone. Facing south and paying respect to many decrees is just a pitiful life without deep affection. "
Taiyue City is majestic and majestic, and the city defense formation is fully activated. Even the celestial realm monks cannot easily break it.
On the city wall, soldiers stood guard lazily. They thought that after entering Taiyue City, they would get more rewards from the dragon army. But now, all that is left is empty promises and the hard work is still done.
If they didn't have the wealth and honor they had agreed on before, they wouldn't have so many complaints. But now that they have the promise and are looking forward to it sooner or later, they will no longer be content with the status quo.
Beside the city wall, two soldiers gathered together, and Jia said: "I really don't know when this battle will end. The brothers who are going to Jizhou this time will definitely die."
B said: "I think it's almost done. There hasn't been any news in the past few days. Regardless of whether we won or lost, the fight is still over."
"I hope so." A looked into the distance, and suddenly saw countless black dots approaching in the sky, and said quickly: "Look! Look! What is that?"
B also looked up, and it didn't take long for the two of them to realize: "It's a flying boat, an army!"
The two of them watched carefully, only to find that the person above them was carrying the banner of General Zhengnan Li Jingchi. A said: "This Li Jingchi's troops should be in Liangzhou, why are they here?"
B said anxiously: "This is not something we can know. Please report it to the superiors immediately!"
The sound of bells and chimes echoed through Taiyue City, and the remaining soldiers and horses began to gather towards the city wall. On the east gate tower, the general Wang Wen who stayed behind looked at the outside of the city with a face as heavy as water.
Li Jingchi, Fu Zichen, Zhao Ping, and Xu Haozhan all gathered together to surround Taiyue City. Their momentum was no less than that of Xu Zheng's siege.
But at the beginning, everyone in Taiyue City was united, and Baili Longteng was still in charge. Now Wang Wen only has hundreds of thousands of troops at his disposal, and he simply can't stand the imperial capital.
On the flying boat outside the city, Men Zhaoping raised his hands and said to Baili Shuze: "General Wang Wen, who is guarding the city, is a close friend of mine. I am willing to go and persuade him to surrender."
Baili Shuze nodded: "As long as unnecessary casualties can be avoided, General Wang will have made a contribution to the country."
After receiving the order, Men Zhaoping walked to the east gate and faced Wang Wen with a bow: "General Wang!"
Wang Wen looked at Men Zhaoping and sneered: "The Fourth Prince treats you well, how can you rebel?"
Men Zhaoping said: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Now that the army is attacking the city, even if you resist stubbornly, it will not help. The third prince has said that as long as Brother Wang can avoid unnecessary casualties, it will be a contribution to the country."
Wang Wendao said: "You two ministers and traitors, how can you have the face to persuade me to surrender?"
Men Zhaoping sighed and said: "Brother Wang, you and I are close friends, and I am here to save you today. Even if you are not doing it for yourself, you should think about it for your wife, children, and mother at home, and for the soldiers under your command. Do you want to do this?" Are they going to die with you?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the surrounding soldiers changed slightly. They were just working for others, but their lives must be worth selling!
Wang Wen was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "You go back, I will worry about it myself!"
Men Zhaoping nodded and turned back to the flying boat. Baili Shuze asked, "How is it?"
Men Zhaoping said: "General Wang said he had his own plans. I think he listened to the last general's advice."
Baili Shuze nodded and said with a smile: "That's very good. It's a credit to General Wang that he surrendered!"
On the city wall, Wang Wen said to the soldiers: "The situation is over today. Brothers do not have to die in vain. I, Wang Wen, will bear the responsibility of dedicating the city!"
"General!"
The soldiers fell to their knees.
Wang Wen pulled out his sword, placed it across his neck, and shouted: "Withdraw the formation and open the city gate!"
Following his order, the large array of guards gradually faded away, and the city gate was slowly opened. With the loud bang of the door opening, a stream of blood flew into the air, and Wang Wen's body fell outside the city gate.
Exactly: "
It has always been the strong grass that gives rise to the strong wind, and only then can we know the sincerity of civil and military officials.
It is difficult to defeat the general trend, so I can only die to repay my loyalty. "
Seeing that the city gate was wide open and Wang Wen committed suicide, Baili Shuze couldn't bear it and said: "It's a good idea to collect General Wang's body and bury him in a rich burial in the future."
"yes!"
The east gate was wide open, and the news of the soldiers' surrender immediately spread to the other three city gates. When the defenders saw it, they knew that nothing could be done, and they also surrendered one after another.
Baili Shuze led hundreds of civil and military officials and four troops to enter Taiyue City without bloodshed.
Li Jingchi said: "There is no sign of Baili Xiyu in the city for the time being."
Baili Shuze looked at the two prime ministers on his left and right, and Zuo Fengyuan said, "If my prediction is correct, Baili Xiyu should be in the palace now."
He Lanyi looked solemn because he found that the jade seal originally suspended in the center of the city was missing!
Just then, someone came up in mid-air. When he got closer, it was Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu bowed his hand to Baili Shuze and said, "Third and Fourth Princes are waiting for you in Yuxi Palace, but you are the only one allowed to go there, otherwise he will kill the Queen Mother."
"Royal Grandmother!"
Baili Shuze suddenly started, his face full of confusion.
In the small pavilion, Hua Yuanquan, who saw this scene, said to Baili Qingfeng: "You really missed a section!"
Unexpectedly, Baili Qingfeng said: "This is what third brother must experience. When you are born in an emperor's family, you must be ruthless!"
Hua Yuanquan did not answer, but murmured to himself: "If this is really the case, are your two brothers still children of the emperor's family?"
Beside Baili Shuze, Zuo Fengyuan and others tried to dissuade him from going:
"Third Prince, you are now in danger of the safety of the world, and you must not put yourself in danger!"
"Please rest assured, Third Prince, even if you risk your life, you will definitely save the Queen Mother!"
"We can first send people to find out the truth and then discuss countermeasures."
Listening to everyone's words, Zhao Yu suddenly said: "Third Prince, the Fourth Prince only gives you half a stick of incense. If he doesn't see you when the time is up, he will still kill the Queen Mother."
"this……"
Baili Shuze was silent, and Chen Gui rushed out and asked, "Zhao Yu, when did you start working for Baili Xiyu?"
Zhao Yu gritted his teeth and said, "The lives of godfather and Zhang Mo are now in the hands of the fourth prince. What can I do?"
"Godfather..."
When Chen Gui heard about Gao He and Zhang Mo, he was silent. In order to save people, he would do the same.
Zhao Yu looked at Baili Shuze, who said: "I will go with you, no one is allowed to follow!"
"Third Prince..."
"No!"
"Third Prince, please think twice..."
Baili Shuze waved his hand and said, "Don't try to persuade me. I have made up my mind. You are all ministers of the imperial court. No matter who becomes the emperor, you must think about the country and the people of Daqian. Don’t worry about personal gains and losses.”
After saying this, Baili Shuze said to Zhao Yu, "Let's go!"
Zhao Yu nodded, and in the eyes of everyone, he and Baili Shuze got up and rushed to Yuxi Palace.
All the civil and military officials were immediately in chaos. Everyone looked at Ya Xiang Zuo Fengyuan and Assistant Xiang He Lan Yi and asked, "What should we do now?"
Zuo Fengyuan's eyes fell on Uncle Qi and the middle-aged and young people, and asked: "Does your young master have any arrangements?"
Uncle Qi sighed and said: "My young master has said that the winner can be determined on the chessboard, but in reality, both sides will suffer!"
After Zuo Fengyuan heard this, his body was shaken and he didn't know what to do.
In the small pavilion, watching Baili Shuze go alone, Baili Qingfeng first stood up slightly, then sat down again, laughing at himself: "I know the choice of the third brother, but I want to put the choice in his hands, I really Stupid!"
Hua Yuanquan said: "If he didn't choose this way, he wouldn't be Baili Shu."
In front of the Yuxi Palace, Zhao Yu slowly opened the door, and Baili Shuze stepped in. He saw a person sitting on the throne, dressed in black and with red hair. It was the fourth prince Baili Shuze. Li Xiyu.
Baili Xiyu looked at Baili Shuze and smiled slightly: "I knew the third brother would definitely come!"
Baili Shuze stood in front of him, his expression slightly downcast, and said: "Fourth brother, even if you don't use the imperial grandmother to threaten me, I will come. Now that I'm here, you can let the imperial grandmother go, right?"
"There's no rush," Baili Xi said, "Brothers and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so we have to catch up on old times. Come on, give me a seat!"
While talking, Zhao Yu moved the embroidered pier over and asked Baili Shuze to sit down. Baili Shuze couldn't help but smile: "What the fourth brother did just now made him look like an emperor."
"Can't I be the emperor?" Baili Xiyu stood up and said, "I have been sitting in this position for many days."
"You still want to sit down," Baili Shuze said, "That's why you want to coerce me here. As long as you get rid of me, you will have no worries anymore, and this throne can only be yours." That’s it.”
"Third brother is smart!"
Baili Xiyu walked down and came to Baili Shuze and said: "My father died, the eldest brother and the second brother passed away one after another, and the sixth brother also died in the hands of his enemies. Now we are still left with you and me, brothers. Now that your soldiers and horses have invaded Taiyue City, I have become a traitor and a true loner. But so what? As long as I catch you, the world will still be mine!"
When Baili Shuze heard that Baili Hanran also died in the hands of his enemies, he shook slightly and then asked, "What happened to the sixth brother's death?"
Baili Xi smiled and said, "He is already dead, so it doesn't hurt to tell you."
After listening to Baili Xiyu's story, Baili Shuze stood up suddenly, stared at him and said: "How can you treat your sixth brother like this? Seeing him die without saving you... you are too much It’s heartless!”
"It is precisely because I am ruthless that I am more suitable to sit in that position!" Baili Xi smiled loudly: "Now, no one can take this position away from me, not even you!"
As he spoke, Baili Xiyu sat back on the throne. Suddenly, he turned his palms, and an invisible force filled the entire Yuxi Palace. The legendary jade seal appeared in his palms, with divine light flowing, and the power of the dynasty blessing it. There seems to be infinite power.
"Pass the country's jade seal!"
Baili Shuze couldn't help being surprised when he saw Yuxi. Originally, he thought that Baili Xiyu had not yet mastered the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, so he had the possibility to fight with it. Now that the jade seal is in his hands, even with millions of soldiers and horses under his command, there is absolutely no possibility of victory.
Baili Xiyu looked at Baili Shuze and said with a smile: "Do you understand now? I am the emperor of Daqian, and all of you must kneel at my feet. You still want to ask Gao Cuifeng where that old woman is? ? You are not worthy of bargaining with me! To tell you the truth, my hatred for her is deeper than my hatred for you. As long as I live, I will never let her go!"
Baili Shuze looked at the ferocious-looking Baili Xiyu in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "Fourth brother, I no longer recognize you the way you are now."
"Of course you won't recognize it," Baili Xiyu smiled slightly: "Because I am the new king of Daqian!"
