County Magistrate Qin was really anxious.

Lord Gu, do you know what you are doing? Prince Rong has already rebelled. Will you still be alive if you go there?

Seeing that he was about to have a heart attack, Gu Shaoyu frowned and said, "County Magistrate Qin, you have been an official for quite some time. You need to be calm."

County Magistrate Qin said anxiously: "I am afraid something will happen to the Lord!"

"What could possibly happen? Prince Rong has been raising his army for a month, right? He hasn't even crossed the river yet, but the imperial court's troops have already crossed the river. It looks like a fierce battle is imminent. If we can persuade him to surrender now, it will be a win for the imperial court and the people. One less battle means one less loss."

"Sir, but he obviously wants to take you hostage!"

"Is this cabinet so easy to catch?"

Gu Shaoyu said this in a light tone, and County Magistrate Qin was choked.

After nearly a month of contact, County Magistrate Qin felt that this man was aloof, quiet, and so calm that he had an illusion - that life was peaceful and quiet!

Gu Shaoyu asked Nanxing to deliver a letter to King Rong. Soon Nanxing came back with King Rong's reply: Go to the border of the fiefdom for talks, and it would be best to go alone.

County Magistrate Qin immediately said, "See, he just wants to take the elder hostage, right?"

Gu Shaoyu naturally knew this, and said to County Magistrate Qin: "I will leave today, so there is no need to see you off, and don't notify the chief steward to mobilize troops."

He took Nanxing, Hongying and a group of thirty people with him.

How could anyone let him go alone? Even Xie Yu and Ling Xun firmly disagreed. You are a family man, if not for yourself, you have to think about your wife too!

The Zizhou chief steward personally escorted and assembled the 20,000 garrison troops, and followed Gu Shaoyu to the fiefdom of Prince Rong.

Prince Rong sent his personal guard to inform Gu Shaoyu: "The prince requires that Lord Gu go alone, and the Zizhou garrison retreat three miles, otherwise there will be no discussion."

Gu Ge Lao said to Zizhou Du Zongguan: "You lead the troops to the back."

"Master, he obviously wants to do something bad."

"It doesn't matter. He almost had the guts to catch me."

The chief steward had no choice but to step back.

The troops of both sides were stationed at the back, and the two men only brought their personal guards with them.

Prince Rong brought his son, three generals and fifty powerful guards.

Gu Shaoyu brought Nanxing, Hongying, and thirty female soldiers with him.

The two sides were quite polite when they met.

Prince Rong was a few years older than Emperor Hui, but he was well maintained and looked much younger than Emperor Hui.

He is gentle and refined, with mild features, and doesn't look like a villain at all.

Prince Rong looked at Gu Shaoyu and smiled, "Old Lord Gu is young and promising, and is a role model for young people."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. It's all because of your Majesty's good teaching."

"Your Majesty, are you all right?"

"What does your Majesty want to ask?"

"I heard that your Majesty didn't live long, was dissolute and immoral, didn't respect his mother, and harmed the crown prince?"

Gu Shaoyu smiled: "Oh, the rumors are also spreading in the capital: the prince is seriously ill, seemingly gentle and elegant, but actually a scumbag, not only does he favor his concubines and kill his wife, but he also has affairs everywhere, even the wives and concubines of his ministers."

The Crown Prince of Rong, Zhou Fengzhi, was furious: "Fuck your grandma!"

"Pa~" Nanxing slapped Zhou Fengzhi in the face, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Prince Rong was furious and slammed his palm on the table: "You bastard, when you came to Zizhou, you raised the price of grain and plundered all the grain in the prefectures of Jiangnan. This caused my supply of grain and grass to be insufficient, and the front line could not advance.

I've heard that you're sinister and cunning. Today, I see that you're really ruthless. Even your mouth is filled with poison! Come on, kill him!"

The three generals and guards behind Prince Rong rushed forward immediately.

Hongying and the female soldiers immediately stood in front of Gu Shaoyu. A breeze blew by, and Nanxing's sword was already on King Rong's neck.

Gu Shaoyu sat there without moving or getting angry. He asked calmly, "Your Highness, do you not want to negotiate? Do you want to just start fighting?"

Prince Rong looked at the sword on his neck without fear. He smiled contemptuously and said, "I called you here to capture you alive. Talk? What's there to talk about? If I admit defeat now, can you pretend nothing happened?"

"It doesn't matter whether you admit defeat or not. You lost the moment you started the rebellion. You know the fate of Daqian best. Why do you want to go against His Majesty? Even if His Majesty is willing to give up the throne, do you think it will be your turn?"

"Prince Ning and his men are not as powerful as me. If not me, who else can take the throne?"

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Prince Rong was speechless. It was considered impossible for the Crown Prince to ascend the throne, and it might not be his turn!

King Rong said, "Tell your men to put away their swords."

Gu Shaoyu waved to Nanxing, and Nanxing returned to Gu Shaoyu.

"Your Majesty, can you tell them to withdraw? Then we can have a good talk?"

Prince Rong signaled those people to go out.

Zhou Fengzhi refused to leave and said violently, "What if you kidnap my father?"

"I will negotiate with the prince, and everyone else can leave. Is that okay?"

Zhou Fengzhi refused resolutely.

Prince Rong said to him, "Go out. I believe that Lord Gu will not break his promise."

"Father, what is there to talk about? Don't hold on to unrealistic hopes. He is not a good person. Your Majesty's loyal dog is full of evil."

Zhou Fengzhi did not retreat, but called on the others, "We must capture him alive today and force His Majesty to abdicate."

Gu Shaoyu suddenly stood up, grabbed Prince Rong, held a dagger across Prince Rong's neck, and said coldly: "Get out! Otherwise, I will kill you, Prince."

Prince Rong coughed and coughed, and said to Zhou Fengzhi: "You, step back..."

What a bad luck! After a while, there was either a sword or a dagger on my neck.

Zhou Fengzhi did not retreat but advanced, calling out to the other three generals and fifty guards: "Kill them."

A general hesitated and said, "The prince is still in their hands."

Zhou Fengzhi looked sad and said to Prince Rong, "Father, once we start a rebellion, there will be no way back. We can only go down this path. We are all surnamed Zhou, and we are all sons of the late emperor. Why have we been living in this remote place for decades, and the emperor won't even allow us to return to the capital to pay our respects?"

Prince Rong said anxiously: "Rebellious son, please step back..."

"Father, I'm sorry! We have no choice but to take them hostage."

Zhou Fengzhi led everyone to attack.

Gu Shaoyu teleported Prince Rong out of the door, and Prince Rong's mind went blank.

Isn't Lord Gu a civil servant? How can he be so skilled in Qinggong?

Hongying said to Nanxing, "Hurry up and protect Elder Gu and move back a little further away."

He shouted to the other female soldiers, "Fire starter, get ready."

Several female soldiers quickly picked up three inconspicuous earthenware jars, opened the tinder, and lit the fuse on the jars.

Gu Shaoyu pulled Prince Rong away quickly, and Nanxing and the other female soldiers also ran away.

Zhou Fengzhi, three military generals and the fifty royal guards shouted "Capture Gu Shaoyu alive" and chased after him desperately.

The female soldier threw the clay pot bomb at Zhou Fengzhi and the others while running.

"Boom"

Zhou Fengzhi and three generals who were at the front fell down.

"Ah~" The brief scream came to an abrupt end with a loud rumbling sound.

"Boom"

"Boom"

Fifty of the palace's personal guards were blown to pieces.

Prince Rong was being pulled by Gu Shaoyu like he was flying a kite, and his hair crown was even tilted.

He asked breathlessly while drinking the wind: "What happened? What happened? Thunder?"

Gu Shaoyu replied calmly: "It's not raining, so where did the thunder come from? It was the wine jar that exploded!"

"them?"

"died!"

"Feng Zhi, he..."

"died!"
