An hour later, the Queen Mother arrived at the ancient mansion as promised.
Gu Xiaotian had been waiting for a long time. When the Queen Mother saw his appearance, she smiled and said, "I know the answer."
Gu Xiaotian nodded and said: "I am willing to cooperate with you, but before that, I must make a request." m.
The Queen Mother thought for a while and said with a smile: "If you don't make a request, you won't be you. Go ahead, but it's best not to ask me to die or something like that."
"I also hope that the Queen Mother will protect Sun Gusheng no matter what."
The Queen Mother frowned.
This request was actually different from what she had said before. She just said that she would not kill Sun Gusheng, so as to whose hands Sun Gusheng would die in the end, it had nothing to do with her.
But Gu Xiaotian hoped that the Queen Mother would do her best to protect Sun Gusheng, and no one could kill him.
Gu Xiaotian suddenly knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "Please, the Queen Mother, protect Sun Gusheng no matter what!"
The Queen Mother's expression was a little ugly, and she twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Gu Xiaotian, are you threatening me?"
Gu Xiaotian shook his head, "It's not a threat, I just don't want to see Sun Gusheng die like this."
The Queen Mother suddenly chuckled and rubbed her head in distress.
She really didn't expect that Gu Xiaotian would make such a request.
However, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that Gu Xiaotian has always been on Sun Gusheng's side. Even if he agrees to cooperate with him now, he may not necessarily be on his side.
Therefore, this request becomes much more reasonable.
Faced with the current situation, if she dared to say no, she had no doubt that Gu Xiaotian would terminate the cooperation. Even if Gu Xiaotian and Sun Gusheng died together, they would not agree to her request for cooperation. .
Within an hour, the border troops in the west were completely defeated, leaving only the east side still struggling to hold on.
But now the defense line in the east can be said to be surrounded by enemies from all sides. Even though Guan Jing has rushed to the east and fought extremely bravely, he still did not seize any opportunity to counterattack. He can only watch the soldiers of the border army fall one after another. .
After the fall was complete, it was time for Sun Yanlu and other officials to take action.
The Queen Mother also knew that she couldn't wait any longer. If she continued to waste time like this, she really didn't need to worry about whether she could sit on that chair.
After thinking for a while, the Queen Mother nodded and agreed: "I promise you, but I am only promising you. If keeping him threatens my life, then I will not agree."
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said, "As long as the Queen Mother agrees."
Now that the cooperation has been reached, the Queen Mother no longer hides it, but directly tells Gu Xiaotianming: "Among the officials in the city, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites are all my people. In addition, there are also many transformation-level officials hidden in Cining Palace. The monsters, these are all our fighting power."
Seeing that the Queen Mother was so sincere, Gu Xiaotian just told the Queen Mother about the situation in the Gu Mansion, but did not reveal that he had asked for help from the Heaven and Earth Alliance and various sects.
The Queen Mother did not ask in detail, but just made a request: "You just need to help me hold off Sun Yanlu. As for the others, I will take care of them myself."
Hearing the Queen Mother's request, Gu Xiaotian sneered in his heart. The Queen Mother's calculation was really clever.
Now the most powerful person is Sun Yanlu, and the Queen Mother asked them to help her hold Sun Yanlu down, making it clear that she would send Gu Xiaotian into the tiger's mouth.
But after all, he is the weaker party now, so he can only agree first.
It can be regarded as a delaying measure for the time being, but of course he will not work for the Queen Mother in vain.
However, Gu Xiaotian also has a request. He needs the Queen Mother to lend him some demons, preferably those who can be controlled by him.
The Queen Mother thought for a while and agreed.
She lightly stamped her feet, a few clouds of demonic energy floated out, and the demon appeared.
Gu Xiaotian couldn't help but frown, it turned out that the Queen Mother had come prepared.
If he didn't agree, he would probably start a war with these monsters.
The Queen Mother's move was indeed generous, as she took out five monsters in the Transformation Stage.
You know, if these five monsters in the transformation stage were placed elsewhere, they would be a terrifying fighting force.
But now, facing Sun Yanlu, it seems a bit inadequate.
The Queen Mother said: "Let Guan Jing and the border troops withdraw. Now we are cooperating. I don't want my allies to have only this strength."
Gu Xiaotian nodded in agreement and immediately asked Sun Gusheng to order Guan Jing to withdraw from the city to Gu Mansion.
Guan Jing was confused after receiving the order, but what the border troops were doing was just a drop in the bucket. After weighing it again and again, he agreed to Sun Gusheng's request and withdrew from the city.
At this point, all border troops retreated.
Kyoto fell completely.
…
…
After the fall of Kyoto, those monsters did not attack the people, but dispersed in all directions.
And those officers and soldiers who had disappeared long ago appeared out of nowhere, knocked on the doors of every house, and gathered the people together.
The Minister of Punishment slowly came here, and when the people were almost gathered, he said loudly: "People, please don't worry, we just want to change the owner of this court, and we will not harm the lives of the people!"
However, what he received in response was some rotten vegetable leaves and egg shells.
"Bah, you're such a traitor!"
“If we don’t hurt the lives of the people, will we hurt the lives of the border troops?”
"Traitor! Traitor!"
The people were excited for a while. For them, all they wanted was a comfortable life. But when this happened today, many of their relatives died in this chaotic war.
The officers and soldiers immediately wanted to rush forward to arrest the person, but were stopped by the Minister of Punishment.
The Minister of Punishment slowly swept away the rotten vegetable leaves above his head, and said sadly: "I am also very sad for those people who suffered. I hereby promise that for those who have relatives who suffered, the court will pay a compensation of 10,000 taels of silver as an apology! "
"Who wants your dirty money!"
"Traitor, you will be punished sooner or later!"
Even though the Minister of Punishment said this, the people still did not buy his account.
But there were not as many abusive voices as before.
For the first time, the people were just venting, but after hearing that there were thousands of taels of silver, it was inevitable that some people would not be tempted.
People cannot be resurrected, but don't be obsessed with money.
Ten thousand taels of silver, that's money they could never make in two lifetimes.
People's hearts are like this sometimes. Even if they are very sad about the death of a relative, as long as money is involved, some people will still choose to violate their own conscience.
Except for those people who have retreated, the remaining people are the truly strong-willed people.
The Minister of Punishment looked at these people who were still cursing, his eyes became sharp, and he gave the officers and soldiers a look.
The officers and soldiers understood and immediately rushed forward and captured the person in front of the Minister of Punishment.
The Minister of Punishment took a knife from the officers and soldiers, looked at those who were still insulting him, and said: "I can give you a chance."
"Bah, traitor! You're going to fucking hell!"
"puff!"
The Minister of Punishment did not hesitate at all, and beheaded the man with one blow.
After that, he turned to look at the other person.
Before the other man could speak, the Minister of Punishment chopped off his head with another knife.
He then walked over to the third man.
The third man now began to tremble.
Everyone is afraid of death, let alone a common man like him.
This time, the Minister of Punishment did not draw his sword, but asked: "Do you still want to call me a traitor?"
The man shook his head, broke away from the oppression of the officers and soldiers, and kowtowed to the ground, "Sir, I was wrong, please spare me."
The so-called iron bones are really worthless when their lives are threatened.
The Minister of Punishment smiled slightly, handed the knife to the officers and soldiers next to him, turned and left.
After that, he went to many places and did the same thing.
After dealing with these common people, the Minister of Punishment came to the Prince's Mansion, found Sun Yanlu, and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, everything is done."
After the forest last night, the Minister of Punishment expressed his loyalty to Sun Yanlu.
He believed that the Queen Mother could not defeat the Prince no matter what, so it was extremely important to take a stand in advance at this time.
However, Sun Yanlu glanced at the Minister of Punishment and smiled lightly: "Is everything really done?"
The Minister of Punishment scratched his head and thought about it carefully. He found that there was indeed nothing he had missed. He nodded and confirmed, "It's all done."
"Then why did you bring a tail?"
Sun Yanlu slowly stood up, came to the side of the Minister of Punishment, and shouted behind him: "Gu Xiaotian, you followed him all the way, but didn't kill him, just to see where he would go to find me, right?"
The Minister of Punishment hurriedly turned around, only to find Gu Xiaotian slowly walking into the Prince's Mansion.
Gu Xiaotian had seen everything that happened on the street before, but he never took action because he wanted to see where Sun Yanlu was now.
But he never expected that Sun Yanlu would not even hide, but would continue to stay in his prince's palace.
Although this place is in ruins, Sun Yanlu still misses it.
The Minister of Punishment quickly admitted his mistake and said: "Your Majesty, I really... really don't know! In this way, you give me a chance, and I will kill him for you."
Before Sun Yanlu could speak, the Minister of Punishment had already summoned the officers and soldiers and asked them to capture Gu Xiaotian immediately.
The officers and soldiers immediately rushed forward, but in an instant, they all fell to the ground.
There was a sword mark left on their necks.
Gu Xiaotian looked at the officers and soldiers and said with disdain, "Traitors."
With that said, he had already ducked in front of the Minister of Punishment and held out his sword.
The Minister of Punishment was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. He was not a warrior, and he had no power to fight back against Gu Xiaotian.
He was so frightened that he closed his eyes. After a moment, he slowly opened them and saw Sun Yanlu standing in front of him, stretching out two fingers and clamping Gu Xiaotian's sword.
Gu Xiaotian curled his lips, and another flying sword was already hovering in the sky, flying towards Sun Yanlu.
Sun Yanlu immediately activated his energy and waved his other hand to deflect the flying sword.
Gu Xiaotian immediately shouted toward the sky: "General Guan, take action!"
In the sky, a big knife pressed down.
Sun Yanlu quickly let go of his hand, raised his palms upward, and caught the big knife forcefully.
The air planes collided, causing waves of air to rise, and dust suddenly flew from the ruins.
The Minister of Punishment was so frightened that he peed his pants and hurriedly crawled to escape, but suddenly he felt a cold feeling in his chest, and a sword had pierced his chest.
He turned around desperately and glanced at Gu Xiaotian behind him, then staggered and fell down.
Gu Xiaotian looked at his body, spat out a mouthful of saliva, sprayed it on him, and said disdainfully: "Traitor."
The battle between Guan Jing and Sun Yanlu was also fierce, probably because most of the border troops were defeated. At this time, Guan Jing came out with full firepower, without any defense, and all his swords and swords were killing moves.
However, Sun Yanlu would not let Guan Jing hurt him so easily. He immediately raised his hand to attack, but in a moment, he felt a strange aura and immediately swept back.
As he flew away, a demonic aura slowly floated out from where he was. Without succeeding in a single blow, he immediately chased after Sun Yanlu.
He hurriedly lowered his body, then grabbed it forward, reached into the demon aura with one hand, and caught a demon. Looking at the demon, Sun Yanlu sneered, and exerted force with one hand again, only to hear a click. Break the demon's neck.
Looking at the demon, Sun Yanlu said helplessly: "It seems that you agreed to the Queen Mother's request."
Some people died, but not completely...
