Simulated Immortal Cultivation: Beginning with Changchun's Immortality

Chapter 290
It was night, countless ministers were dragged out of their sleep, many of them hadn't even figured out the reason before they were roughly shoved into the carriage by the imperial army, squeezed together with six or seven colleagues, and hunted south with the lion king in panic.

It's not that no one relied on their own identities to dictate to the Imperial Forest Army, and what's more, they acted arrogantly and refused to leave the old house, just because they had sent their confidants to secretly surrender to the Chetuo people.

When the Chetuo people entered the city, they transformed themselves and became obedient citizens under the new dynasty.

The Imperial Forest Army obeyed the orders of the royal family, and they had secret edicts in their hands. Of course, they would not be indifferent to them. For officials who disobeyed, they would kill with knives and blood.

In the early morning of the next day, when the residents of Shiyu King City got up from their beds, they were horrified to find that the Jingying soldiers were carrying corpses back and forth on the street. The splendid silks and satins on the corpses would be enough for them for a year if they just peeled off one piece. For chewing.

And Xu Xiangguo was sitting in the south study, mobilizing the city defense in an orderly manner.

King Shiyu led the Imperial Forest Army and the elite of the Beijing camp to break out of the siege last night, and now there are only a nominally more than [-] elites left in Beijing, and no one knows how many of them have been falsely reported by the nobles who are empty-paid.

What's more, this person didn't intend to defend the royal city. All he did now was to delay the Chetuo people's footsteps as much as possible, so that King Shiyu would have enough time to escape.

"Master Xiangguo..."

Xi Linan wiped off his cold sweat and looked at the old minister who had never paid attention to him since just now.

Feeling a little guilty for no reason.

As early as ten days ago, Xi Linan, who felt powerless to return to heaven, had secretly expressed his goodwill to Prince Che Tuo, who was in the army at that time, through Che Tuo's envoy, and voluntarily served as an internal response to persuade Shiyu King to surrender.

If he is really allowed to do it, even if he can't continue to be his deputy prime minister, at least he can't escape the glory and wealth.

But it wasn't until dawn that Xi Linan vaguely realized that something was wrong.

"The old man knows that Master Xi has a lot of doubts in his heart, just read on, and you will understand everything after a while."

Xiangbang seems to be in a good mood today, and even greets him as a traitor with a smile on his face.

Xi Linan felt more and more wrong.

As the sun rose high, it was already past the morning hour, but the figure of King Shiyu was still not seen.

Xi Linan suddenly seemed to realize something, and broke the silence in the room.

"My lord, why don't you see your Majesty coming to court at this hour, can you invite Eunuch Yang to the palace to see if His Majesty is in good health?"

After saying that, he was about to summon the little eunuch outside the door.

"The king has already left the city."

Guessing that King Shiyu should have escaped from the siege of the Chetuo people at this time, Xu Xiang finally stopped hiding, and smiled at the group of ministers in the South Study Room who only looked after Xi Linan.

"what?"

Everyone froze for a moment, almost wondering if there was something wrong with their ears.

"what!"

"When did His Majesty leave? Why don't I, the deputy prime minister, know!"

Xi Linan even jumped up directly from his chair, overturned the mountain of memorabilia in front of Old Xiangguo, and questioned Old Xiangguo condescendingly, panting like a cow.

"Bold! When it's your turn to question His Majesty's decision, Mr. Xi speaks so loudly!"

The old minister sneered.

Slowly bent down, picked up a memorial from the ground and turned it tremblingly.

Compared with the opportunity to take away these traitors who have harmed the country and the people before dying, the imminent death is not so scary anymore.

"What should I do! Mr. Xi, please think of a way!"

As soon as Old Xiangguo finished speaking, Guo An couldn't sit still, and walked up and down in the South study, anxiously like ants on a hot pot.

"Xu Bing, we're all working together, are you really going to do something like this?"

Xi Linan has calmed down now.

The old Xiangguo dared to tell them everything, so he was sure that they would not be able to leave the door today.

Looking at the shadows of people outside the door, it is obvious that Xu Bing has deployed heavy troops around the South Study Room. It is undoubtedly a fool's dream to expect to take this old thing hostage and escape.

However, the building will collapse, and he is not unprepared.

"Crafting villain, I am ashamed to work with you!"

Xu Bingwen just frowned, and glanced coldly at Xi Linan in disgust.

"Master Xu has a high score and integrity, and the younger generation is not as good. I am afraid that at this moment, he already has the will to die. When the city is broken, it will be the day when the boss dies and repays the society!"

Xi Linan was not annoyed when he heard the words, but sighed slowly.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say."

Xu Bing felt that it was an insult to his status as a scholar to talk about reason and righteousness with such a villain.

"Your Majesty only dies once, but the common people in this city may not be willing to die in the sea of ​​fire with you."

Xi Linan took a sip of tea and said quietly.

"If the Chetuo people want the people to return to their hearts, they will definitely not be able to do the disaster of massacring the city. In my opinion, the Chetuo king and his son are also heroes in the world. They will not do it when they slaughtered innocent people."

"Wait, Xi Linan, you bastard, how dare you—"

Xu Bing suddenly seemed to remember something, and for the first time a change appeared on the face of the old god Zai Zai.

"Why don't I dare?"

"The lower official is just a sycophant who can only please the king's favor. How can he compare his prestige with the boss in the military court? Of course, he can only think of some ingenious ways to protect himself."

What Xi Linan said was an understatement, but if it was what the old Xiangguo thought, the deputy prime minister in front of him was really a complete lunatic.

"So that's why you want to set fire to the royal city?!"

Xu Bing laughed back in anger.

And when the word "Burning City" came out of Old Xiangguo's mouth, Guo An and the others looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.

To set fire to the city would take millions of the city's subjects to be buried with them, including Xi Linan's family members, how cruel it must be to use the lives of his own family members as a bargaining chip!
"This old man controls the Imperial Forest Army, it is impossible for you to do those little tricks under the old man's nose."

After thinking for a while, Xu Bing shook his head, still not believing that the other party was capable of doing such a thing.

"The lower officials can't, but the meticulous work of the Chetuo people can."

"They don't have the cooperation of the officials, how can they get the defense map of the royal city, but they can bury inflammable and explosive objects in various passes, so how can the officials not use their handwriting to let the entire royal city be handed over to the officials?" What about the funeral?"

Xi Linan showed a crazy smile.

While the Chetuo people were using him, he was not using the Chetuo people.

Although he is greedy for money, he also knows the danger of this matter, so when he gave the defense plan to Che Tuo envoy, he also made people follow him in secret, and he only needs to wait for the other party to bury the things, and they will be killed.

In this way, you don't even need to do it yourself, but you can bring the whole city to watch a dazzling fireworks at a critical moment.

"Your Excellency wants to open the city gate in exchange for the lives of the people in the city, but if the lower officials set fire to the city, will that Prince Miaode still believe in your sincerity?"

Xi Linan laughed recklessly, for a moment it seemed that the entire Nan study room was filled with his own laughter.

Xu Bing told him firmly, as if he was making a difficult decision.

"Okay, the old man will let you go."

After a long while, Xu Bing finally made a decision, but at the same time as he said these words, his usually straight back suddenly collapsed, and he seemed to be ten years older, and his whole body was full of decadence.
