Xia do not stay

Chapter 345 He Won't Come

In the 25th year of Kaiyuan in the Song Dynasty, spring and May.

The king of Qin rebelled and surrounded the capital with his army. Song Emperor Zhao Wuji disappeared, and the people in the city were panicked and the people were uneasy.

Zhuge Wu strolled along the long street, the usual bustling capital is now somewhat desolate and desolate.

The endless stream of merchants in the past have disappeared, and the shops have closed one after another, especially the rice shop, which has put up the sold out sign early.

Occasionally, when I saw a few pedestrians, they also looked hurried, with worried brows.

Everyone knows that the capital is about to be smoked, and the war will undoubtedly kill many people, and many people are puzzled.

Why did the military gods of the Song Dynasty choose to rebel?

Although Zao Wou-ki has neglected government affairs these years, he has the title of number one in the world after all, and under the influence of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, many people have not completely given up on him.

So during this period of time, Qin Xiao's reputation in the hearts of the people has taken a turn for the worse. How much he worshiped him in the past, he is now cast aside.

Several scholars from the Imperial College on the street were discussing with impassioned words.

"Qin Xiao betrayed his old master and was ungrateful. We will defend the capital to the death!"

"When His Majesty returns, Qin Xiao will be wiped out with a wave of his hand!"

"But the people outside said... Your Majesty seems to... died in Qin Xiao's hands..."

"Fart, Your Majesty's miraculous skills are world-class, how can Qin Xiao have that ability?"

"But they said... Gu Daxia personally killed His Majesty."

"This... this must be fake, otherwise why don't you see Gu Daxia outside?"

……

Zhuge Wu listened to their arguments, he remained calm and continued to walk forward.

He actually understands that there are not many people who are truly loyal to His Majesty, and what most people are really worried about is their own safety, prosperity and wealth when war breaks out.

He walked for a long time and finally arrived at the palace.

Invited by the eunuchs into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the place is already full of people, including Wang Ji, the commander of the Imperial Army, Li Yang, Minister of the Ministry of War, and many veterans.

Basically all the dignitaries above the third grade in the court came.

Huang Xuanzun, the deity of the mountain department, and Xu Changfeng, the deity of the forest department, also came, and immediately bowed when they saw Zhuge Wu.

Zhuge Wu returned the salute, and was invited to sit at the front.

The only ones who can enjoy the sitting treatment are the three great masters. The battle is imminent, and the power of the masters is very important, and others dare not object.

At present, the temporary regent is King Cheng Zhao Rui. He was originally an idle prince who enjoys leisure and happiness.

At this time, he was not excited about taking over the power of the emperor, but his brows were full of worry.

"Grandmaster Zhuge is here, please sit down!"

After Zhuge Wu sat down.

He let out a long sigh and said, "Grandmaster Zhuge has followed the emperor's brother on the battlefield for many years, and he is quite familiar with the art of war. Tell me, what chance do we have of winning?"

Zhuge stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Ten percent!"

A look of joy suddenly appeared in King Cheng's eyes.

However Zhuge Wu continued: "The old man is [-]% sure, we will definitely lose this battle."

Immediately, King Cheng's face turned dark, and his fat body trembled.

The ministers in the room were also speechless.

Many people looked flickering, not knowing what they were thinking.

As soon as King Cheng slapped the table, his fat body stood up suddenly, and when everyone thought he was about to get angry, they listened to him.

"Surrender! This king wants to surrender!"

Everyone's expressions froze, and they silently looked away, thinking that if this guy becomes the emperor, then even if there is no Qin Xiao, the Song Dynasty will be over.

In fact, at this moment, the idea of ​​surrender was born in many people's hearts, and they just shouted like this...

King Cheng doesn't care what other people think, he's just a prince of leisure, and it's only a fool who fights a [-]% losing battle.

Minister of the Ministry of War coughed, stood up and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty's life and death are still uncertain, how can we surrender before fighting?"

This is a subtle reminder to him, in case His Majesty is not dead, he comes back and sees you surrendering...

King Cheng's heart trembled, thinking of the methods of the emperor's brother, he felt a chill in his heart, and he might be worse off than dead by then.

"Master Li, how many soldiers do we have now?"

Minister of the Ministry of War sighed: "Originally there were [-] defenders in Beijing, but the last time Gu Yang entered Beijing, he defeated the Yulin Army, Kanglong Guard, and Jinwu Guard with his own efforts, and the available soldiers at this moment... are less than [-]."

Everyone fell silent when they heard the words. The word Gu Yang really has a terrifying magical power.

Overwhelm a country with one person, and win...

At this moment, Qin Xiao has at least [-] troops, but the defenders in the capital are less than [-]. The opponent is still a famous general, how to fight?
King Cheng was a little unwilling, and asked: "Master Li, Qin Xiao said that Brother Huang had been killed by Gu Yang, so Gu Yang is really so powerful, can he beat Brother Huang?"

Minister of the Ministry of War thought about it seriously, and said: "Your Majesty, Qin Xiao's words may be bluffing, but the old minister feels that if there is really one person in the world who can beat Your Majesty, that person can only be Gu Yang."

King Cheng took a deep breath and said, "But isn't Brother Huang number one in the world?"

At this time Zhuge Wu spoke.

"Your Highness, Gu Yang defeated Wu Xinglie, the second largest in the world, outside the city of Youzhou. He is already known as a Martial God. In addition, a few days ago, the old man and Qin Tianjian were watching the sun and stars moving at the observatory. It should be a The peerless master who cultivates Zhiyang Shengong is breaking through."

After a pause, he said: "Then Gu Yang, what he cultivates is Zhiyang Divine Art."

As soon as these words came out, all the officials were silent, and they felt as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs.

Gu Yang could have defeated Wu Xinglie and made a breakthrough, so His Majesty may not be able to win against him...

Seeing the worry and fear in most people's eyes, Zhuge Wu sighed in his heart, knowing that all these years of extravagance had already drained their blood and ambition.

He opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, in fact, it is fine to surrender, but the other party must meet our two conditions. The first is to let Gu Yang show up in person and admit that he killed His Majesty. In this way, even if His Majesty is not dead, we will Can pass the responsibility to Gu Yang."

Everyone's eyes lit up, what a way!

"Secondly, let Gu Yang be the guarantee. After King Qin enters the capital, he must commit no crimes, and he must not harm the lives of your lords and common people."

The Minister of the Ministry of War immediately agreed: "This statement is very true. Although Gu Yang is more murderous, he is a hero of the generation. Qin Xiao has the heart to kill, and he will never dare to act recklessly!"

Everyone nodded.

At this moment, they were even a little thankful that although Gu Yang was an enemy of Song Dynasty, he was an enemy worthy of admiration.

Zhuge Wu said indifferently: "Qin Xiao besieged and did not attack. It's not because he was afraid, but because he didn't want to fight lightly. If we want to surrender, we shouldn't delay any longer. Your Highness should hurry up and send someone to tell Qin Xiao our conditions."

Among the noble families, Zigui, and all the lords, none of them dared to speak up.

Zhuge Wu knew in his heart that Da Song's vitality was really exhausted.

……

Outside the capital, in the king's tent of the army.

Qin Xiao put down the letter paper in his hand and handed it to Qin Rushuang.

"Look, this is their condition."

Qin Rushuang was dressed in Xuansu, her make-up was clean and elegant, her eyes were cold, and beside her was a long sword hidden in a sheath.

That sword is simple and unpretentious, no one can see that it is the number one sword in the world, Xuanyuan Sword!

She quickly read the content on the paper and remained silent.

Qin Xiao sighed softly, and tentatively asked, "Shuang'er... Gu Yang, will you come over?"

Qin Rushuang lowered her eyes, her voice was very indifferent.

"He won't come."

(Thanks to Shi 0707- for the reward, love it!)
