Behind the wall stacks at the head of Linchen City, Zhao Hao quietly watched Mu Lin's army retreating away, silently.
At this time, Chen Ping came from the city and reported to him: "Sir, Mu Lin is on his way."
When Mu Kui returned to Minyue with some people yesterday, he went to see Mu Lin. In the evening, Mu Lin came to see Zhao Hao again.
Through Mu Lin's narration, he learned about the hatred between the Mu family and the Minyue royal family, and promised Mu Lin to help Mu Kui seize the throne as a member of the Mu family.
At the same time, if he needs military assistance, he can also secretly fund Mu Lin.
Although Mu Lin knew that Zhao Hao would not be so kind, in order to take revenge, like Mu Kui, he was willing to be used by Zhao Hao.
"I didn't expect that little Minyue would have such bizarre palace secrets. It's no worse than ours in the Central Plains!"
"hehe."
Hearing Zhao Hao's slightly self-deprecating emotion, Chen Ping smiled noncommittally, and then continued: "Wuzhu is an ambitious man, capable of bending and stretching. Will the young master really let him go?"
"As the saying goes, being kind to your enemies is cruel to yourself. Do you think I am a person who is kind to your enemies?"
"But didn't you promise Princess Yingluo that as long as there are no people in Minyue who resist Da Qin, you would let them go? What should we do if Na Wuzhu is extremely forbearing?"
"What else can we do? Kill if you must!"
Han Xin, who had been standing silently next to Zhao Hao, finally couldn't help but said: "You can't let a tiger cause trouble, right?"
"I'm going to kill him!"
Wuya said coldly.
Zhao Hao shook his head, and a blush appeared on his pale face due to the cold:
"No, he can only die in Mu Kui's hands. By then, the entire Minyue will be in chaos, and even Minyue will cease to exist!
In the future, the land of Baiyue will be filled with wars. All we have to do is add a little more fire in winter! "
As he said that, he turned to look at Chen Ping and said with a smile: "Find more tribal chiefs to come over. I still have many imperial edicts to reward the king that have not been sent out!"
Chen Ping: "."
Han Xin: "."
Good guy!
Mr. Emotion, this imperial edict is wholesale from His Majesty!
the other side.
Minyue Royal Palace, Government Hall.
Officials from all over Fujian, big and small, squeezed the space in the palace into little space.
However, the atmosphere in the palace was very strange. Not only was it eerily quiet, but it was also filled with an aura of despair.
This can be seen from the expressions of the ministers in the palace. They are all dejected and no longer have the spirit of complimenting Wu Zhu in the past.
Even the Minyue King Wuzhu, who was sitting high on the throne, lost his usual majesty at this time.
Although his face was still the same, it had lost its luster.
Not long ago, the confidant he arranged next to Mukui had informed him of the outcome of the negotiation in advance.
Seeing His Highness' uneasy ministers, Wu Zhu took a deep breath and managed to calm down his inner panic.
As the monarch of a country, we must hold up the sky in times of crisis.
"My ministers, now that we have broken up with the Great Qin, the Great Qin may attack us at any time. How should we deal with it now? Do you have any ideas to overcome the national crisis together?"
In fact, what he said sounded a bit like treating a dead horse as a living horse, but under the current situation, he could only hope for a miracle to happen.
When all the ministers heard this, they all looked at each other in astonishment.
After a while, Ji Su stood up from the crowd and said, "Your Majesty, if Great Qin really wants to go to war with us, it will be difficult for our Nanpu navy to resist them. Although the capital is still more than 200 miles away from Nanpu, it will not be easy for the Qin army." For me, it is not a problem, so I suggest that we shrink the defense line and fight to the death with the Qin army in the capital!"
Wu Zhu heard the words and did not make a direct decision. He turned to look at Fang Hu: "What does General Fang Hu think?"
"this"
Fang Hu hesitated for a moment, then helplessly held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Qin army has many ways to attack. Not to mention other things, we can't even deal with the artillery and hot air balloons, so there is no point in fighting to the death. The top priority is to surrender." For the best!"
"."
Wuzhu's forehead was instantly covered with black lines, and his face was gloomy and uncertain. For a person with a strong self-esteem like him, "surrendering" to the Qin Dynasty was already his bottom line, and the word "surrender" was to him. No less than the destruction of the country.
Therefore, he would not accept Fang Hu's suggestion at all, and even wanted to lose his temper with Fang Hu.
It's just that he can't get angry yet.
After all, we are already facing a national crisis. If we get angry and kill the generals in the DPRK again, it will only plunge this country into a place of no return.
Therefore, Wu Zhu smiled as if he was self-regulating, calmed down his emotions, and said calmly: "Everyone, Prime Minister Ji thought that Dang Gui would fight to the death, and General Fang thought that Dang Gui would surrender. What do you think?"
"this"
Seeing that Wuzhu was not angry because of Fang Hu's words, all the ministers expressed their opinions one after another.
"Back to your Majesty, I think that our power in Fujian is over, and the only way to go is to surrender. I would like to ask your Majesty to make a clear decision!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I also think General Fang's words are reasonable. A fight to the death is not advisable!"
"I second the proposal! As long as Minyue sincerely surrenders, Great Qin will definitely treat Minyue and the king well!"
"."
Seeing the ministers in the palace who were eager to surrender one by one, Wu Zhu's mood suddenly hit rock bottom. He couldn't help but sneered: "It's really like they all fly away when disaster strikes. Min Yue hasn't been destroyed yet, so you guys can't wait." To please the new master, he kept saying that it was for the sake of Minyue and for the good of this king."
Hearing this, the ministers of Fujian and Yue lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.
At this time, some bold ministers wanted to persuade Wuzhu again, but Wuzhu suddenly stood up and shouted angrily: "Do you really think that this king is a fool?!"
This angry shout was like rolling thunder, which directly shook the hall and made people feel numb.
When the ministers heard this, they subconsciously looked at Fang Jisu.
Ji Su's face changed slightly, and he immediately pointed at the ministers and cursed: "As ministers, you should eat the emperor's salary and share the emperor's worries! Now that the Qin army has not yet reached the city, you are betraying your master to seek glory. Do you have any sense of shame? ? Are you worthy of your Minyue ancestors?"
"this"
Being scolded by Ji Su in such righteous words, all the ministers felt guilty and couldn't help but lower their heads to their crotches, not daring to say any more.
However, Fang Hu couldn't help but sneer: "Prime Minister Ji is a loyal minister who is leading the battle. Are we who persuade him to surrender are traitors? Don't we want to save some blood for Minyue! Do we want to watch all the Minyue people die? Is Prime Minister Ji satisfied?
Is it possible that the king's bloodline must be extinct and the late king's tomb destroyed for Prime Minister Ji to be satisfied?
Is it possible that Prime Minister Ji will be satisfied with the real subjugation of Fujian and Yue?
If this is really going to happen, I think you, Ji Su, have no face to face my Minyue ancestors! "
When Ji Su heard this, his face turned red and his neck was thick. He couldn't help but tremble all over. He pointed at Fang Hu and cursed:
"You're talking nonsense! Although our Minyue Army is no match for the Qin Army, we are not helpless to fight back! Although the Qin Army's artillery and hot air balloons are powerful, we have caves for refuge. I don't believe that the Qin Army can Hundreds of mountains were razed to the ground!
If that is the case, I am willing to live and die with Fujian and Vietnam, and will never surrender to Qin! "
After he finished speaking, he looked around at the ministers and sneered: "Do you think that if you surrender to Great Qin, Great Qin will treat you well? Little do you know, what will happen to the ministers of the six countries who surrendered to Great Qin!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Wu Zhu, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the foundation created by the previous kings of Fujian and Yue must not be given away. Even if it is impossible, we must fight hard. Even if the country is destroyed, we will be worthy of the previous kings. !”
"well said!"
Wu Zhu slapped his hands and said sternly: "This is the loyal minister of the country!"
"I have made up my mind! From now on, all civil and military officials, soldiers and civilians in the city who want to surrender can leave the city at will. I will never stop them. However, they must leave within two days. After two days, the four gates will be closed. I, the king, will not stop them. I am willing to defend the capital with those who are left behind, and defend the legacy of the late king to the death!"
"Your Majesty——!"
All the ministers shouted in unison, and they couldn't help but fell to their knees with shame on their faces.
Wu Zhu sighed and waved his hand helplessly: "Go, let's all find our own escape route. I can no longer take care of you in the future!"
"Your Majesty!"
When all the ministers heard this, they were extremely moved and burst into tears.
Only Fang Hu, who lowered his head, narrowed his eyes.
late at night.
Wu Zhu returned to the palace and lay on the bed with a tired look on his face. The princess beside him caressed his cheek lovingly and sighed: "Your Majesty, will Ying Luo never come back again?"
"It's safer for her to stay in Qin camp than in the palace."
Wu Zhu forced a smile, put his arms around his princess, and closed his eyes.
After a while, he asked again as if nothing was happening: "How old is my beloved concubine this year?"
"Back to your Majesty, my concubine is in the fifth month and will be twenty years old."
"Okay, it's like the age when a bud first blooms!"
Wu Zhu closed his eyes and smiled, and said: "When I was twenty years old, I was running around the mountains and forests with Ji Su, Mu Yang and the others, shooting all night long without returning. Now that I think about it, it is really a ridiculous age."
"When the king drives away the Qin army, I will accompany you to those places!" The princess rested her head on Wu Zhu's chest and said softly.
Wu Zhu chuckled: "There is no such time!"
After saying that, he suddenly thought of something, opened his eyes, and looked directly at the princess: "If I die tomorrow, can you accompany me?"
"ah?"
The princess shuddered subconsciously, raised her head involuntarily, and looked at Wu Zhu with horror on her face.
"Your Majesty, do you want your concubine to be buried with you?"
"how!"
Wu Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "You don't want to stay with me forever?"
"No, no, no, no, no"
The princess was so frightened that she shook her head and explained: "Kunye, Kuye, no, no, no, my lord, Kuye is only four years old!"
"I don't even exist in your heart!"
"No, no."
Wu Zhu sat up and pushed the princess away and said, "You don't want to die with me!"
"No, no, Your Majesty."
"Do you think I don't know about the matter between you and Mukui?"
"Huh? No."
The princess was frightened and kept begging: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life!"
"Okay then, just go die first!"
With a ferocious look on his face, Wu Zhu immediately took out a bloody flesh sac from his body and crushed it in front of the princess. Immediately, a burst of bloody smoke burst out from the flesh sac, and the princess retreated with horror on her face.
Then a strange scene happened. The princess, who was crying and begging, suddenly had countless blood scabs on her face, then her body twitched and fell to the ground.
"Somebody come!"
Wu Zhu shouted expressionlessly, and two guards rushed out of the door.
"Your Majesty."
One of the guards opened his mouth in astonishment and wanted to ask about the princess. Wu Zhu glanced over with a cold look. The former suddenly became smart and quickly swallowed back what he wanted to ask, and changed his words: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"The princess colluded with the Qin thieves and plotted to assassinate the king. The crime is unforgivable. Send me an order from the king to arrest the princess's relatives immediately and hand them over to Si Man for handling!"
"yes!"
Watching the two guards carrying the princess's body out of the palace, Wu Zhu's eyes gradually became cold, he looked around and shouted again: "Come here! Send the message to the Prime Minister!"
at the same time.
The lights are brightly lit in General Junhu's mansion.
Fang Hu was wearing armor and holding a sharp sword, quietly watching the dozens of guards in front of him.
I saw them all solemn and solemn, as if they would sacrifice themselves at the first command of Fang Hu.
Obviously, these guards were not thumping guards, but dead soldiers raised by Fang Hu.
"Father, will the king really take action against us as you expected?"
A young man who looked somewhat similar to Fang Hu asked Fang Hu cautiously.
Fang Hu glanced at him expressionlessly and said nothing.
About a moment later, a man in black rushed out of the door, bowed and said: "General, the king killed the princess in the palace!"
"Ah? This"
When Fang Hu's son heard this, he was startled and thought to himself, "What's going on with the king? Why did he even kill the princess?" Is the king crazy?
However, Fang Hu was not surprised at all when he heard this and said calmly: "Has Ji Su entered the palace?"
"Just entered the palace!"
"Okay! Immediately pass my order and seal the palace gate. Anyone who attacks the palace gate will be killed without mercy!"
"Ah? This"
The man in black looked horrified and said, "Is the general going to rebel?"
"rebel?"
Fang Hu sneered: "Who's rebelling? I'm just defending the rebellion for my Wang Mukui!"
"Mu Kui?"
The man in black was even more surprised.
Fang Hu did not explain much, but just ordered coldly: "You only need to obey my orders. When my king comes back, I will ensure your success!"
"this"
Although the man in black didn't know what was going on, Wu Zhu's sudden madness still left him frightened.
Such a king who can kill the women he spends day and night with at will.
It is difficult to guarantee whether he will also kill the commander of the guards who has been following him.
After thinking for a while, the man in black gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and said, "I will obey your orders!"
Soon, the man in black left Fang Mansion.
Fang Hu's son stepped forward again and asked, "Father, how did you know that the king would go crazy?"
"Who said he was crazy?"
Fang Hu sneered: "This is the real him!"
As he said that, he raised his head and glanced at the sky, and said calmly: "If Doctor Mu hadn't sent the news first, all the ministers who tried to persuade him in the court today would have died in his hands!
But things are different now, and we have better choices."
