The emperor seemed to be joking.

Let's make a joke that is not very funny. Not to mention that the Jin people had to pass through the heavy army from the north. Let's just say that they are really coming. This Lin'an City is not a small place. It can't be surrounded by 20, 30,000 people. living.

And with so many people coming, how could they arrive at the city and not even receive any news from the city?

It's not like everyone has been surrounded before. Take Zhao Huan and the old princess for example, they both stayed in Kaifeng City fifteen years ago.

So when Zhao Guan's family said this, although the first thing that popped up was fear, this fear was quickly suppressed by many questions.

Many people present began to care about it. Thinking of the emperor's attitude towards Zhao Huan these days, a possibility emerged.

The officials were lying, trying to scare Emperor Xiaoci Yuansheng, and wanted to continue to see him make a fool of himself.

Perhaps seeing the disbelief on everyone's faces, Liu Bang was about to say something when he saw Huang Yanjie running in in a hurry, with a sad look on his face, as if he, an eunuch, had married a daughter-in-law and became a father. He bowed He bowed and said:

"The official family..."

Then he spoke quietly, in a voice that no one else could hear.

After he finished speaking, Liu Bang slowly put the wine glass on the table, signaled Chen Miaochang to pour him a glass of water and wine, and then said:

"Tell them and listen."

Huang Yanjie responded, organized his words a little, and then raised his voice a hundred times, causing his sharp voice to spread across the entire Xiaoxi Lake, disturbing all the fish in the lake.

"The Jin army has rushed to the foot of Lin'an. Jiahui Gate, Qianhu Gate, and Xinmenmen have all been attacked. Yuhang Gate, Qiantang Gate, and Fengyu Gate are closed but not seriously injured. The remaining gates... are connected to Shuimen. Inside, everyone is surrounded.”

"Many people entering and leaving the city were all captured by the Jin people...Lin'an City was surrounded."

The emperor has already said this once, and Huang Yanjie said it again now.

Some people began to believe it, but it was the first time for many of them to experience this kind of thing. They didn't know how to deal with it for a while. They just looked at the drinking emperor and Mr. Zhao beside him, waiting for the two to speak.

Some people thought that they had seen through the Zhao Guan family's tricks, but at this time, the Guan family put up such a big battle, making it clear that the target of the attack was the Emperor Xiaociyuan Sheng... The Guan family had already determined If you want to kill this person, the only right choice is to remain silent now.

It's just that the emperor's behavior is bound to be random, and it will inevitably chill the hearts of many people.

The old princess is one of those smart people who thinks she has seen through the tricks. She has lived for so many years and has never seen any big scenes. Although she was a little panicked at first, she is extremely calm now.

The ninth son of the Zhao family really treats everyone else as a fool.

If there was still some affection for going south together back then, then these days have passed and today's episode has made the old princess a little disgusted with His Majesty the Emperor.

She was slightly older than Mrs. Yao, but she was in good physical and mental condition. She didn't even need a crutch. She just handed her hand to the maid at the side and let her support her. Slowly, she walked to the emperor's bed. Before the case.

"Why are you doing this?"

Liu Bang covered his face with his wine glass, also blocking the flash of contempt he showed.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing that he was still pretending to be crazy and stupid, the old princess asked again:

"The dearest person in the world is nothing more than a brother of flesh and blood. He no longer wants to compete with you, nor does he have the ability. Why are you still unwilling to let him go?"

"Is it possible that, as the king of the Song Dynasty, you don't even have this tolerance for others?"

"All he wants is to live. You..."

Liu Bang interrupted her:

"You are confusing me...but you are right about one thing."

"The goal is just to live. How many people in this world are not like this? But how many people can achieve the wish? Just like the man hanging in front of the Yue Mansion. If you say death, don't just die. ”

Seeing that he was involved in the common man again, the old princess couldn't bear it:

"Even if you really want to kill someone, you still need to find a different reason. That person is not someone who cannot die. He is just looking for trouble with your brother because of this. Not to mention that it is difficult to deal with now, it will also be in the hearts of people in the world in the future. It’s hard to get through.”

"Just because? He's not an immortal person?"

Liu Bang repeated the old princess's words. Seeing the serious look on the old woman's face, he knew that she was not saying something funny, and he also knew that she really meant it.

"Snapped!"

Everyone only saw the emperor slap him on the table, causing the surrounding dishes to almost fall to the ground.

"You're right. I don't want to avenge that man, let alone get some justice for him...justice."

"Just because he has an old relationship with me, I can't bear to see him lose his life but no one avenges him, and he can solve a problem by the way... But in fact,"

Liu Bang took a detour to the case, and then looked down at the old princess:

"Actually, even if that person doesn't die, this person will die anyway, and I'm going to find out what's wrong with him."

Originally, the old princess's confidence in asking this question came from her sense of moral restraint on the emperor. She did not expect that the emperor was not a moral person. His generous admission made the old princess feel a little relieved.

"If you really think so, just kill him directly. Why bother pretending that the Jin man is coming? Isn't it unnecessary?"

Yes, she reacted very quickly. If the emperor was really like what he showed, nothing mattered and nothing mattered, then there was absolutely no need for him to set up a stage and sing such a show today.

"What kind of pretense? Didn't you save his life with money?"

"The golden man..."

"Oh," Liu Bang knelt down and looked at the old woman with talking eyes, "That golden man really has nothing to do with me... Just like you said, killing someone like this is unnecessary. "

For the first time, the old princess felt uneasy in her heart. She looked at the emperor's eyes that seemed to be drunk, and the discomfort in her heart began to become stronger.

Not the emperor?

Isn't the golden man pretending to be the emperor?

Is Lin'an City really under siege?

wrong! It is impossible for the Jin people to come to Lin'an. The captain Zhang Jun separated his troops from the emperor early, and the news has spread throughout the two Huaihe Rivers. This is not a secret.

So for the first time, the old princess and many people who saw through the emperor subconsciously thought that these golden men were pretended to be Zhang Taiwei's people. Regardless of the number of people or the marching route, only Zhang Jun's soldiers have the ability to surround Lin'an now.

She originally wanted to guess whether what the emperor said was true or false, but then she heard some movement in the corridor outside the pavilion.

Looking back, I saw Captain Zhang, who had both white temples and blood stains all over his face. He looked like he was drunk and was walking unsteadily. He almost fell down every time he took a step. He looked like the sky was falling.

When he arrived in front of the emperor, Lieutenant Zhang knelt down without even the slightest hesitation:

"Guan family, the Jin people are coming, Lin'an City is besieged!"

This was the third time I heard this news, but unlike the calmness of the first two times, everyone finally panicked.

If Zhang Jun appears here, then the... bento outside will be a golden man.

The golden man is really here!

Looking at the old princess's changing expression... This woman was also in Bianjing back then. The reason why she was not arrested and sent north was mainly because she was too senior and did not live in the imperial city. The Jin people were not Know her clan status.

But the old princess saw clearly the tragic scenes during the siege, and the corpses lying around after the epidemic spread. The most important thing was not these, but the fact that the Jin people committed suicide to observe the festival after they went north. Those people...

At that time, Bianjing fell into a strange environment, as if the emperor had been kidnapped and the sky was about to collapse. First, it was Liu Ziyu's father Liu Kai, and later the news that Zhao Huan's empress Zhu committed suicide. Later, more and more people died not in the winter when the Jin people were surrounded, but in the spring after the Jin people left.

Regardless of gender, regardless of status, it has reached the point where just being alive seems to be a heinous crime... Men and women without money were starved to death, young women were sent to the golden men, and young men ran away as soon as the city was broken. , all those who stayed behind were chopped to death by the Jin soldiers who entered the city and made into Jingguan. The old princess who survived in this situation was actually given a yin and yang by Du Chong:

"Princess Zhao's clan, why are you living alone?"

The words of two great scholars, Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, "It is a small matter to die of hunger, but it is a big matter to lose one's integrity" has long been regarded as a sage's quotation. Du Chong's question does not represent the question of the people in the world.

These words have become a knot in the heart of the old princess. If she hadn't been fasting and chanting Buddha for many years, her mood would be much calmer than ordinary people. Maybe she would have married herself... Despite this, as the mistress of the Qian family, she will be in the future. Many of her juniors actually had the same idea as Du Chong and didn't have much respect for her.

Liu Bang smiled and asked Taiwei Zhang:

"As the commander-in-chief of the first army, what do you look like in such a panic! Stand up and speak, don't scare any of my relatives."

Zhang Jun looked like he had just experienced a big battle. He stood up and took several deep breaths of air:

"This time the Jin came suddenly. I don't know where there is a problem with the defense line in the Huaihe River. The tens of thousands of men and horses under my command have been fighting with them, and they have lost 50% to 60%... The ferocious force coming from the opposite side is in full swing. , unstoppable... Fortunately, Lin'an City has high walls and thick walls. If we hold on, there will be nothing we can do on the other side."

"So powerful..." Liu Bang muttered to himself, and then quickly called Zhao Ding, "Is there any food left in the city?"

Surplus grain... Mr. Zhao is rarely a little excited at his age.

No matter what he thought, he never expected that the official would use this trick... That's it, that's it!

The one in the north is the one who takes the blame. They have done a lot of evil things in the world, and even if you count one more, they can't be wronged.

Others don't know the details of Han Chang's surrender, but as the prime minister of a country, he can understand a lot more by just stroking the joints.

It is impossible for the Jin people to come, but the Jin people recruited and surrendered by the officials can explain everything clearly.

"Reporting back to the officials, all the grain collected from various places was shipped to the Northern Expedition princes. A few days ago, Zhao Shicheng rebelled, and many merchants have cut off contact with the outside world."

"Just relying on the food stored in Lin'an, if we eat one meal a day, we may be able to survive for half a month."

There are a lot of people in Lin'an. When there are more people, it becomes more lively and the consumption will naturally increase.

A look of worry finally appeared on the emperor's face, and he slowly uttered a sentence:

"What should I do?!"

Several ministers began to whisper among themselves... This group of people all wanted to go to war. They either hated the Jin people to the core, or were not as afraid as ordinary people. At this time, they would inevitably be the same as those who were besieged in Kaifeng City. At that time, we started to compare, and all of a sudden, everyone came up with many methods.

Hu Quan took a step forward and said: "The soldiers and horses brought by Captain Zhang, together with the defenders from the three yamen divisions of Lin'an City, concentrated their forces to break through. What the Jin people weaved was not a dragnet. After all, we can break through." Out."

"Let Han Liangchen, who is closest, and the two people from the Infantry and Army Division in front of the palace come back to King Qin. In this way, the Jin people will become the turtles in the urn of our Song Dynasty!"

Liu Ziyu said silently: "But I don't know how many generals the Jin will come, and who will be the leader... The equipment in the Lin'an City armory is enough even if we send the people to fight against the enemy now... The most important thing is that how many people went to the Northern Expedition..." We don’t know very well what the general’s situation is now, so we still need to think about everything in the long term.”

Seeing that they were actually discussing the strategy of resisting the enemy, even those who thought it was ridiculous could not help but believe it. And seeing that His Majesty the Emperor couldn't put down the cup... At this time, I didn't know what he was drinking. How much he drank, but anyway, the Tianguan family had been drinking these days. From the day he went to court the next day after he returned to the palace, he never left the wine glass.

Whether he is drunk or not, I am afraid only he knows.

He bypassed the old princess in front of the case and walked straight to the somewhat eclipsed Emperor Xiaoci Yuansheng.

Zhao Huan's heart palpitated: "Your Majesty..."

"Everyone knows what you did back then..." Liu Bang stared at the dead man, "I encountered something like this again today. If you were to take charge, what would you do?"

"This...I don't dare to talk nonsense or be presumptuous in front of His Majesty."

"It's okay, I'll let you be wild."

The corners of Zhao Huan's mouth moved. No one knew the power of Jin people better than him.

At this time the emperor asked, and since he had previously promised that El Chapo would speak out to stop the war between the two countries, he thought for a while and finally answered:

"It seems that the Jin people have made complete preparations for this attack... It was because of them that they took the advantage. At this time, all the generals were outside. Although Lin'an was impregnable, people's hearts were unpredictable and the people were under heavy pressure. I'm afraid something will happen at this juncture, and I, the general of the Song Dynasty, will have to face both external and internal troubles, and will really be in a dilemma."

He spoke cautiously while observing Lao Jiu's expression... To be honest, no one has been more observant than him in these years. Whenever Lao Jiu showed the slightest displeasure, he would immediately shut up and change his words.

But not only was Lao Jiu not unhappy, but his eyes became brighter and brighter... Such an expression was exactly the same as the latter's expression when he was discussing with Emperor Huizong in the past.

He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, let's just say, they are all Zhao family members, could it be possible that Lao Jiu could suddenly change his temper.

With the emperor's expression of encouragement, Emperor Xiaoci Yuansheng had a lot of confidence in speaking. After all, this was the first time since the brothers reunited that Lao Jiu looked so comfortable towards him.

"There is no real feud between the two countries. It all started because of the alliance at sea, and because Pharmacist Li Jie Guo protected Zhang Jue, which led to what it is today... The Song Dynasty regarded itself as China, and should put etiquette and integrity first. Last time The fact that the Jin people sent envoys here shows their sincerity in seeking peace. Since they have already said that they want peace, it is better to continue the peace talks. After all, 'If you know your mistakes and you can correct them, there is no greater good.'"

He was talking so eloquently that Liu Bang couldn't help but slap his hands. Damn you, I won't be unjust if I kill you!

"You mean, I have no integrity and integrity, so I betrayed my alliance, right?"

Zhao Huan's expression froze and he almost knelt down:

"I said something wrong. Your Majesty, please don't blame me. Your Majesty, please don't blame me..."

As he spoke, he pretended to give himself two slaps, but Liu Bang quickly stopped him:

"Hey, what are you doing? I asked you to say it, and what you said makes sense. How can I blame you?"

"To tell you the truth, you really wanted to go with me this time. It's so urgent that you still think about other things. That's not a fool."

"No matter what, let's solve the current problem first and then talk about it."

Zhao Huan was overjoyed, as Lao Jiu affirmed himself for the first time... It took him two years to achieve this in front of Wan Yanchang, which meant that he had begun to accept himself. , then his life is probably saved.

Secondly, he fulfilled the promise he made with the Jin people and let the opponent know that he is alive and useful. He always thinks about himself. He can rely on Song to gain gold or gold to capture Song. By playing both sides, he has his own trump card.

The third thing is that his choice back then was indeed a bit cowardly. When he was in the cattle pen, he was thinking all the time. If he could do it all over again, he would definitely not go to the Jin Kingdom Camp. He would have to drag it with him. Escape; Nowadays, the more capable Lao Jiu is and the tougher he is towards the Jin people, the more useless he becomes.

As long as Lao Jiu really does what he said, Zhao Huan doesn't know what will happen to the Song Dynasty, but for himself, it will be beneficial and harmless.

As soon as the emperor's decision was announced, it immediately aroused opposition from many ministers... The battle of Jingkang caused the Song people to lose their backbone, and they have not fully recovered until now. Although there are examples in front of them, the officials still don't know how to lead. As a warning... Seeing that the master of ZTE is about to follow the same path as his father and brother, how can these people do it?

If they want to make peace, they would have stood beside Prime Minister Qin long ago when Qin Hui was around, why wait until now!

For a time, the sounds of admonishment, crying, and pleading could be heard endlessly, and gestures of kneeling, bowing, and kowtowing appeared.

Liu Bang sighed, pointed to Liu Ziyu, who had taken off his belt and was tying a knot on the beam of the pavilion, and said to the imperial guards:

"Persuade Liu Shangshu to come down. Don't learn from him and hang yourself like his father."

Then he pointed at Su Fu, who had fallen over the railing and was being pulled by a group of people:

"The water in the lake is too cold. Let Su Shangshu come back too. No matter whether he drowns or freezes to death, it would be better for Liu Shangshu to leave a whole body for himself."

Anyway, everyone had their own approach. Although Zhao Ding knew the situation, he still wanted to cooperate with the emperor and make a gesture. However, the old man was not good at acting and stepped back a long way. When he was about to hit his head on the table, he He slowed down and waited until someone caught him before he started to struggle.

For a time, the scene was extremely lively.

Liu Bang looked at Queen Mother Wei, who had been looking at him thoughtfully, and took the initiative to talk to her for the first time.

"Learn more."

The Empress Dowager's eyelids twitched, and just as she was about to speak, she saw her own son going to comfort the concubines, leaving her alone to think about... what Brother Ninth asked her to learn.

"Why aren't you afraid? This person is a golden man."

Compared with everyone's excitement, the women sitting next to him seemed much calmer. Zhong Yu had become more maternal and spoke more gently than before. Just hearing her voice made Liu Bang feel like his bones were shaking. Crispy.

"You are the king of a country and the head of a family. Even if the sky falls, you will not be afraid even if you are here. What should we be afraid of?"

"Didn't you hear what I said? I'm going to make peace with them."

Zhong Yu raised his head and said proudly, "You can't do that."

"Oh?" Liu Bang said with a smile, "Are you so sure of me?"

"I am confident about my husband."

He nodded slightly, saying that a good woman can prosper for three generations... Lu Pheasant is good at everything, but as the first empress dowager in history, her power is too much.

But we still have to blame the First Emperor. He only taught people how to be the co-lord of the world, but did not set up a woman to set an example in the harem, so he had to move forward blindly.

"Don't worry, when it comes to not disappointing people, I usually won't disappoint people."

As he spoke, he poured himself another glass of wine, drank it all, and threw the glass to the ground.

Everyone finally became quieter. Liu Bang took off the two wings on his head, slapped them on the table, and shouted:

"I'm not dead yet, who are you showing me by doing this!"

"If you want to mourn, go and cry in front of your father, don't howl in front of me!"

As he spoke, he called Zhang Jun again:

"Jiahuimen, I'll go take a look for myself and see if they are going to turn the sky upside down!"

Captain Zhang quickly let go of Su Shangshu's hand and trotted forward to clear the way.

The emperor didn't say anything. He didn't even look at the few people who were seeking death. He just followed him. Only then did many people react... He didn't even see the golden man's face. He just heard After hearing the news, it became such a mess.

They stopped making trouble, straightened their clothes and followed the emperor's footsteps.

The people in the harem are about to go back to the harem. Empress Dowager Wei also thinks so. Ever since her son gave her harsh words and reduced her expenses, this woman has not had a good night's sleep. Now Jinren It came again, and she was even more frightened, half of her soul was lost. If the palace maid next to her hadn't called out, she didn't know how long she would have stayed there.

"The Queen Mother... is gone."

Queen Mother Wei came to her senses: "They're all gone... Then, let's go back."

As soon as he said this, he was interrupted:

"Queen Mother, don't rush back now."

She looked up and saw that it was Huang Yanjie, the chamberlain beside the official and the first eunuch on duty in the palace.

"If you don't go back, where will you go?"

Huang Yanjie's eyebrows were still downcast: "The officials have given instructions earlier, asking you to go to Jiahui Gate with us."

That's where the golden man is, go and do whatever you want!

Queen Mother Wei wanted to refuse, but found that the eunuch did not give her a chance to refuse.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two imperial soldiers armed with swords made a 'please' gesture towards her.

She didn't understand that even though she was in the Song Kingdom, it still felt like she was in the Jin Kingdom, and she couldn't control everything.

On the other end, Jiahui Gate is the closest gate to the Imperial City. It is only a hundred steps away from the main gate of the Imperial Palace. It only takes a cup of tea to get here from Xiaoxi Lake.

The person standing on the city gate was Wang Qi. This little Yaksha had always been heartless, and it was rare to see him looking so worried. Now seeing the emperor coming with everyone, he hurriedly greeted him:

"Everything was fine last night. When Captain Zhang arrived, he was still fine. Before dawn, these idiots were already here..."

"Fortunately, we found out in time. We attacked several times from the opposite side, but were all pushed back by the God's Arm Bow. But looking at this appearance, it seems that we have really made preparations to attack the city."

As he spoke, he pointed to the hillside not far away. The Jin people had already begun cutting down trees and cutting rocks. They seemed to be making siege equipment.

Liu Bang looked at the past. They were all densely packed with people. The most important thing was that the news had spread, and many people came to the streets... He was okay. After all, before Qin Shihuang unified the world, countries had to fight almost once a year. It was a common practice. Such a big scene happened; the other ministers were different. Many of them were from the south, most of them were officials after Jingkang, and most of them were civil servants. When they saw this scene, many people became My heart started to frighten.

"How about other city gates?"

Wang Qi replied: "I have inspected all of them and surrounded them. Only this gate has the largest number of people. I guess it is because it is closest to the palace. The main force of the Jin people must be here."

"Can you see clearly who is commanding the troops?"

Xiao Yaksha paused: "The flag that was flown should belong to the Shilie family of Jin Guohe. I don't know who it is."

From the He Shilie family...

Zhao Ding listened and finally felt a little unsure.

He sticks to the emperor's side:

"The official...is this person really from the Kingdom of Jin?"

Liu Bang looked at him strangely: "Otherwise, where do you think it came from?"

"Han Chang..."

"By the way," Liu Bang asked Zhang Jundao as if he had just remembered something, "Where is Han Chang?"

Lieutenant Zhang hurriedly replied: "We came here together, and now we think we are patrolling near Qiantang Gate."

Mr. Zhao’s eyelids twitched like grasshoppers, what the hell, what the hell!

Not Zhang Jun, nor Han Chang.

How could such a large number of people, no matter where they came from, be hidden from me?

The golden man is really here!

He could no longer remain calm and quickly called Liu Ziyu and Hu Quan. While counting the equipment in the armory, he quickly asked someone from the Ministry of War to go to the Lin'an government office.

We must not cause trouble in the city at this time!

He quickly asked about the current defense situation... Prime Minister Zhao, who was originally as calm as water, turned into an ant on a hot pot.

Liu Bang ignored him and cleared his throat:

"Let's go talk first. I just don't know who has the courage to enter the enemy camp. Please recommend yourself."

Talk, no one wants to talk, but now this situation, as Zhao Guanjia said, is extremely urgent.

But if we talk about it, wouldn’t we be following the old path of Bianjing City again?

It was fine yesterday, but today we are enjoying the feeling of being under attack. This change happened too fast, and many people have not yet been able to accept this reality.

Hu Quan stood up and said: "Guan family, there is no need to talk, we can fight!"

Liu Bang rolled his eyes at him: "Take him here, don't cause trouble here."

"If you said you want to talk, then just mention the things you want to talk about, don't mention anything else, so as not to mess up the plan."

In this way, those who still wanted to speak fell silent when they saw that the emperor had made up his mind.

If you don't talk, you won't talk, but let them take the initiative to invite Ying to talk to the Jin people. Maybe someone will do this, but it will definitely not be these people on the city wall.

"Let's go look among the coolies...Lin Yifei? He is Qin Hui's son. I think there is a way to deal with the Jin people."

This was because Lin Yifei had made the decision. He was carrying wood and rocks very well. He never expected that he would suddenly bear such a big responsibility.

But he can't help it. If he sticks out his head and shrinks his head, it's just as good as a knife. If he goes and the negotiation is really successful, the wealthy days will come back.

I saw this man being shouted out of the city gate, slowly moving towards the Jin Kingdom camp with his hands raised, and when he came back, he was unscathed and looked relieved.

As soon as he entered the city, he was escorted to the city gate, and a group of people surrounded him to see what he said.

Lin Yifei hated the emperor in his heart, but he was even more afraid of this unruly king. He had lived a life of wealth and wealth, but only in the past two years had he begun to suffer hardships in the world.

At this time, the Jin people came. Although his face was nervous, his heart was filled with the pleasure of getting revenge.

Embroidered pillows, and still dreaming of fighting with the Jin people, now it's better, it's better not to lick your face and sue for peace!

"Your Majesty...they, they are unwilling to talk to the guilty minister."

"Why?"

"I only say that the guilty minister is of low status, but I don't see the sincerity of the Song Dynasty."

Liu Bang thought for a while: "Are you sure it's the Jin man?"

Lin Yifei nodded quickly: "I'm sure it is! The guilty minister has a lot of knowledge about the etiquette of the Jin Kingdom. Those people are definitely not pretending to act and speak. They are indeed Jin people!"

His words dispelled everyone's last doubts, and Liu Bang asked again:

"Then...have you said who you want to go?"

Lin Yifei bowed and said, "If His Majesty goes there in person..."

"snort!"

The emperor snorted coldly, and he quickly changed his words:

"Relatives of the emperor are also welcome."

"Relatives of the royal family..."

The emperor looked around thoughtfully, and his eyes fell on Zhao Huan, who had a rough face.

The latter shuddered, and all kinds of bad memories came to his mind.

But he found that Lao Jiu's eyes moved away and fell on the old princess beside him.

"otherwise……"

The old princess coughed a dozen times, feeling like her lungs were about to be coughed out, and said tremblingly:

"As a prostitute, I can't take on many responsibilities."

"The official family is responsible for the country, the country, and the country. Otherwise, it's better... eldest brother to go."

Emperor Xiaoci Yuansheng turned pale and hated the savior in front of him.
