"Prince Regent, please take a look, is there anything missing?" Xiao Jinzhi said with a smile.

Huangfuling's eyes were heavy. He had indeed planted some nails in Tianyi's army. Among them, the one who climbed the highest was the fourth-rank Jianwu General, who was the one who was arrested at this moment.

"Emperor Tianyi, it has reached this point. Even if you catch him, they can't change anything." Huangfuling smiled and spoke calmly, but the darkness in the depths of his eyes still came up.

Xiao Jinzhi looked at the other party with an increasingly playful smile.

"I'm not trying to change anything, it's just that the thorn in my palm has to be pulled out."

These people are really hidden deep enough. If they weren't trapped in Taizhou City this time, and it seems that there is no chance of any improvement, I am afraid that these people will not let down their vigilance and expose their flaws.

"It seems that Emperor Tianyi has no intention of negotiating with me today."

Xiao Jinzhi does not seem to be a person who does useless things. If he has really decided to surrender, even if he discovers these people, there is no need to bring them to him. Since the other party did this, it can only mean that he just wanted to lure him into the city from the beginning. Even... Xiao Jinzhi has a backup plan?

"Negotiation?" Xiao Jinzhi shook his head, "It should be said to be surrender, but unfortunately, it seems that I am not at the end of my rope yet and must surrender."

Ling Qi stood next to Huangfuling, looking at Xiao Jinzhi and the others warily, and warned: "You must think clearly, now there are all our Danyue people outside the city, and there is no food and grass in your city. If you dare to attack If Your Highness does anything, all the soldiers in this city will be buried with you!"

"You think too highly of yourselves." Qin Li walked to Xiao Jinzhi's side and said with a sneer, "Your lives are now in the hands of the emperor."

"So the previous assassination was caused by your collusion." Huangfuling's tone was cold.

"Yes, I did follow the emperor's order. As for the rest, it's just a show for you, the spies." Qin Li said.

Whether he was assassinated or demoted to patrol, it was all to convince Huangfuling that there was really nothing they could do. As the emperor's personal bodyguard, he could only jump over the wall and fight to the death.

Of course, in addition to paralyzing the eyeliner, the other reason for going on patrol was to get away from the emperor and temporarily out of the sight of those people, so as to better detect the Danyue spies hiding in the city.

For a moment, Ling Qi frowned even more tightly. He was worried and was about to draw his sword, but Huangfuling shook his head at him and stopped his movement.

"Since I can say these words, I think we have already prepared for this city. It is impossible for me to fight out of the city with you."

"The regent is right." Xiao Jinzhi curled his lips, "You can't get out of this city on your own today."

"Not necessarily." Huangfuling's face looked indifferent, as if covered with a layer of fog, making it difficult to see whether he was really confident or just pretending to be calm, "Don't forget, Emperor Tianyi, I just told you something before entering the city."

"Of course I haven't forgotten it, but it seems that the regent only ordered those people just now, but the defenders guarding the other city gate did not hear your order." Xiao Jinzhi said leisurely.

Huangfuling's eyes tightened, and Xiao Jinzhi continued.

"And I heard that the general who originally defended the city was very loyal to His Highness the Regent. Even if he was not the second Han Yang, I think he couldn't help but watch you die in my hands."

Xiao Jinzhi did not continue speaking, but waved his hand. The ambush soldiers appeared and fighting began.

Ling Qi desperately guarded Huangfu Ling, hoping to find a chance for His Highness to escape. Unfortunately, Xiao Jinzhi was well prepared, and Shen Chi's medicine was available, so they really couldn't escape.

Less than half an hour later, Huangfuling and Ling Qi were held hostage on the other side of the city wall. They were given medicine. Not only were they unable to use force anymore, but they were also unable to even speak.

The garrison general under the city was none other than Li Zishan, the original garrison general of Taizhou City.

The moment he saw Huangfu Ling being held hostage, Li Zishan's expression changed drastically.

"Don't hurt Your Highness!"

Long before Huangfuling became the regent of Danyue, he and Li Zishan had already gotten acquainted. At that time, Li Zishan was framed because of his upright character and was accused of embezzling military pay. He was almost beheaded. It was Huangfu Ling who found out the truth, cleared him up, showed him the way forward, and let him sit on the throne. This is the general who defended the city in Taizhou.

For Li Zishan, Huangfu Mausoleum was life-saving.

Huangfuling tried to open his mouth several times, but he couldn't make a sound at all. In addition, he had suffered some injuries in the fight just now. His arms were covered in blood at the moment, and he looked really embarrassed.

Li Zishan had never seen Huangfuling Mausoleum like this before, and he felt frightened. When he spoke again, the urgency in his tone became more and more obvious.

"Emperor Tianyi, if you dare to hurt His Highness's life, our Dan Yue will definitely not let you go! You never want to leave safely!"

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in the fate of Huangfu Mausoleum. I just really want to see what General Li can do for His Highness the Regent of your country." Xiao Jinzhi stood on the city wall and looked down condescendingly. Li Zishan raised his brows slightly, and raised the ends of his eyes slightly, showing an indescribable playful demeanor.

Li Zishan frowned and stared at Xiao Jinzhi, "What do you mean?"

"It's very simple. If you don't want your Royal Highness the Regent to die here, then withdraw your troops."

Xiao Jinzhi's request was not unexpected. Huangfuling stood aside and secretly tried to use his kung fu to overcome the effects of the medicine, but he only felt that his internal energy was severely weakened.

Looking at Li Zishan below, although Huangfuling didn't want his life to be lost here, he also didn't want Li Zishan to withdraw his troops.

According to common sense, there is no food and grass in this city, and the rear is the city that Xiao Jinzhi has not captured yet. Even if they break out from this gate, once the defenders on the other side react, Xiao Jinzhi and the others may also be surrounded.

Without food and grass, their combat power would be greatly damaged, and Xiao Jinzhi and the others might not be able to win.

In other words, even if the troops are withdrawn now, it may not be a turning point. But precisely because of this, he was very suspicious that Xiao Jinzhi still had a back-up plan.

Otherwise, it was just a glimmer of hope from a dead end. To others, it might be good, but to Xiao Jinzhi, he didn't believe that was all he wanted!

Under the city wall, Li Zishan was obviously thinking about this request. He did not think as carefully as Huangfu Mausoleum. Although he felt that even if they withdrew their troops, Tianyi might not be able to escape intact, but he thought that the order he received was to guard the city gate. , and since he had never heard Huangfuling speak, he felt a little hard to make a decision.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinzhi was not upset at all and just pulled out Qin Li's sword, pointing the sword's edge directly at Huangfuling's throat.

"My patience is limited."
