kingly way

Chapter 63 Chapter 063

Although the Beiwan King's Mansion is not as magnificent as the palace, it is not as magnificent;
There was a man sitting in the middle of the palace, wearing a golden robe embroidered with dragon patterns. Under the purple gold crown was a pair of cold and sharp phoenix eyes. His ears should be thick and his hands were lower than his knees. The noble air of the king is impressive;
He is Jin Yuanhong, the king of Xu Kingdom, the emperor of Kyushu. Standing next to him is a man with thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a broad forehead, a very tall nose, and noble clothes. He is Zhao Qingyu, the king of Beiwan princes;
Ying Zhen walked into the Beiwan Palace carefully, because of his relationship with Zhao Qingyu, Ying Zhen was familiar with the Beiwan Palace, but this time was different, Kyushu Emperor Zhengwei was sitting in the middle of the living room of the Palace;

"My minister Ying Zhen has met the king." Ying Zhen stepped forward and saluted Jin Yuanhong;
"Haha...the king of Ying is free of courtesy; this time the suppression of the rebellion of the Ju country showed the great talent of the king of Ying, and he contributed a lot to the stability of Kyushu! Haha..." Jin Yuanhong said with a smile.

"The suppression of the rebellion against the Ju country is all entrusted to the great king Long Wei, and my minister is lucky." Ying Zhen bowed and bowed.

"I heard that Prince Ying kept in touch with Duan Yingwu by letter when he was besieging the city?"

Jin Yuanhong's expression darkened suddenly, and he looked directly at Ying Zhen with an aggressive gaze.

'Oops, how did the king know about this? '

Ying Zhen was taken aback, Jin Yuanhong turned his face faster than flipping through a book, but Ying Zhen, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, immediately calmed down;
"The reason why I contacted Prince Duan by letter is because I wanted to persuade him to surrender." Ying Zhen thought for a moment and said.

"Want to persuade him to surrender? In my opinion, it's not that simple, right?" Jin Yuanhong stared at Ying Zhen and asked;

"Even if I have the courage to fight, I dare not lie to the king."

Ying Zhen couldn't help but be filled with panic: It seems that this matter is not that simple. Maybe it was Jin Yuanhong's excuse to take the opportunity to get rid of him. The inspection in Beiwan was just an excuse, and Jin Yuanhong's real purpose was to trick him. If so , then he is doomed today;

"Prince Ying has galloped on the battlefield for so many years and won countless victories, how can he deal with Duan Yingwu so badly?" Jin Yuanhong asked with a sullen face;
"The ministers and generals marched far away, Duan Yingwu waited for work with leisure, and Juyong City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it was difficult to attack for a long time."

Ying Zhen knew what Jin Yuanhong meant, but could only pretend to be confused;
"There is no army at the east gate of Juyong City, and Duan Yingwu's subordinates and relatives are released. Is this persuasion or fornication? If it is not for fornication, how would Duan Yingwu know that there are no guards and no ambush at the east gate?" Jin Yuanhong Ask again in an aggressive tone.

"My lord, this is a strategy of the humble ministers to break the city; Duan Yingwu's generals and soldiers are united, and the army and the people are united. Juyong City has been unable to attack for a long time, and a lot of financial and material resources have been consumed. Another reason is that they have no way to survive. They can only die. Fighting; leaving a gap, not forcing them to a dead end, is lowering their morale in order to break through the city, and if it is urgent, street fighting will inevitably occur, causing a large number of casualties." Ying Zhen said.

"Hmph, sophistry, why don't you set up an ambush and catch them all in one go, instead leaving the root of disaster." Jin Yuanhong said angrily.

"Your Majesty, the east gate is flat, and there is indeed no favorable terrain for ambush. If they find out that there is an ambush, how can they escape from the east gate?" Ying Zhen said;
"Dare to quibble, since this is the case, why choose the east gate instead of the north gate, west gate or south gate? It is the west gate, and there is the Chihua mountain range to ambush." ​​Jin Yuanhong shouted;

"Now the world in Kyushu is the world of the king. They can escape from Juyong City, but they cannot escape the world of the king."

Ying Zhen distinguished, he heard that Jin Yuanhong changed the title of "King Ying" to "you", and he knew in his heart that there was no way to escape, maybe disaster was about to befall him;

"Then let me ask you, have you caught all the escaped rebels?" Jin Yuanhong said angrily.

"This... the lieutenant sent by the minister was defeated and killed, allowing the enemy to escape." Ying Zhen said.

"Come here." Jin Yuanhong shouted;
A large group of guards ran into the hall, and they immediately surrounded Ying Zhen;

'It's really premeditated to start so quickly?I have been driven to a dead end. If I make a sudden attack and control Jin Yuanhong, he may still have a chance to survive if he is held hostage; but if I cannot control him at once, I will be charged with assassinating the emperor. Whole families have been copied and beheaded, no matter what, just sacrifice me alone. '

A few thoughts suddenly turned in Ying Zhen's mind;

"Are you trying to take the widow hostage and run away?" Jin Yuanhong asked suddenly.

'This old fox is not simple. '

"I dare not, I am confident that the king can find out the truth."

Ying Zhen didn't choose to make a move,

He knew that since Jin Yuanhong had guessed his thoughts but had no intention of avoiding them, he must be confident. He didn't know the other two masters, but seeing their temples swelled, they must have strong martial arts. Otherwise, how could Jin Yuanhong be so confident?
Even without the two of them, just one Zhao Qingyu next to Jin Yuanhong is enough for him to deal with; it seems that Jin Yuanhong has made up his mind to attack him;
Ying Zhen pondered for a while, and didn't dare to act rashly; she just squeezed her clenched fist with a 'click' sound;

"General Xuan Lu, come in." Jin Yuanhong suddenly called out to Director Gao.

A person flashed in from outside the hall;

"Lu Chaoyi?" Ying Zhen called out in surprise;

"Lu Chaoyi pays homage to the king."

Lu Chaoyi bowed to Jin Yuanhong;
"Lu Chaoyi, you are not guarding Dan Country, what are you doing in Beiwan Country?"

Seeing Lu Chaoyi, Ying Zhen couldn't help being furious;
"The king ordered the general to go to Beiwan Kingdom. Can the general disobey? Do you think the general should listen to you or the king?"

Lu Chaoyi didn't pay attention to Ying Zhen at all, and said with a smile.

"Lu Chaoyi has betrayed me?It seems that they had planned it long ago, but I didn't expect that I would eventually fall into the situation set up by others.It doesn't seem so easy to dodge this time. ' Ying Zhen thought.

"You were able to hold back just now. I admire your patience. But if you made a move just now, it would be your family who suffered. If you don't believe me, you can ask General Lu." Jin Yuanhong said with a smile.

Ying Zhen turned her head to look at Lu Chaoyi, without saying a word;
"Your Majesty, thank you for your cultivation of my subjects. I will always remember your words: You must be loyal to the King and do your best for the King without seeking anything in return."

Lu Chaoyi avoided Ying Zhen's gaze, and bowed to Jin Yuanhong;

"Who dares to be unfaithful to the widow?" Jin Yuanhong asked with a slight smile;
"The final general will definitely remember your majesty's teachings and swear allegiance to him to the death." Lu Chaoyi saluted Jin Yuanhong with a smug smile on his face;

Ying Zhen gave Lv Chaoyi a disdainful look: "Loyalty is a high-sounding statement. It is an act of disloyalty to frame the coach. What face is there to say allegiance?"

"General Lu, tell King Ying about the situation in Dan Kingdom." Jin Yuanhong said with a smile;
"The last general has already made arrangements, and your family is already under the protection of the last general." Lu Chaoyi saluted Jin Yuanhong.

"Haha... I didn't expect that I, Ying Zhen, who had been loyal all my life, would end up like this. Since you have all planned it beforehand, then come." Ying Zhen suddenly laughed wildly...
