Upon hearing this, Li Kuan hurried over to comfort the little loli, then turned around and looked at the deer. The murderous aura in his body condensed into a stream and crushed towards it.

"Plop—"

How could a little deer resist the murderous aura accumulated in the sea of ​​blood and corpses? Its legs softened in an instant and it fell to the ground with a cry, its body trembling and unable to stand up.

"Humph! You let me bully you! Do you know my strengths and weaknesses?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yuanyuan wiped the tears from her face, trotted over and said very proudly.

At night, the last ray of sunset in the sky disappears, replaced by the deep night.

A sky full of stars,

They hang in the night sky, competing to shine, while the moon on the side takes the lead with its brilliance.

"Brother-in-law...smells so good"

The three of them sat together in front of a bonfire. Li Kuan worked on both sides, holding three bamboo sticks with several processed birds on them.

Before long, the bonfire started to roast the surface until it was sizzling with oil, and the rich aroma spread, making Xiao Yuanyuan, who had been waiting for a long time, drool.

"Brother-in-law! Are you ready? I'm starving!"

Maybe it was the greed in her stomach that was aroused by the smell, Xiao Yuanyuan said anxiously.

"You! Your saliva is almost all over the floor!"

The female general saw Xiao Yuanyuan, the greedy little thing, and said with a smile.

Under the moonlight, three figures, two adults and one child, leaned against each other, admiring the stars and the moon, eating delicious barbecue, so comfortable! So leisurely!

………………

Thousands of miles away, the capital of Goguryeo.

The spacious hall was packed with Goguryeo's civil and military officials. Without exception, they all had expressions of fear on their faces and were whispering to each other.

"It's over... Everything is over..."

The King of Goguryeo sat slumped on the throne. The composure of a king had long disappeared, and only a look of fear remained.

Not long ago, the news of Yeon Gaesomun's defeat and death reached the capital of Goguryeo, causing the already tense civil and military officials to almost collapse.
They were afraid that they would be killed, so they packed up their belongings and prepared to escape secretly.

Even on the side of the King of Goguryeo, many people advised him to flee to Han Ji to avoid the limelight temporarily.

But! Soon!

The news of the fall of the entire territory reached the Goguryeo royal capital.

In such a huge country like Goguryeo, there is no good place for them to go!
Escape? Where else can I escape to?

"My King! Let's surrender! If we surrender, there may be a glimmer of hope! Dayan has always been very easy to talk to! As long as we show enough sincerity, they will definitely show leniency!"

Among all the civil and military officials in the court, a military general stepped forward. He was once a loyal advocate of war, but now under the threat of death, he changed his position without hesitation.

Who cares about integrity or face! Being able to survive is the best outcome.

The King of Goguryeo raised his head slightly. Would surrender really be useful?
What capital does Goguryeo have today to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty?
"Hey... which noble is willing to go to the Great Yan military camp as an envoy?"

The King of Goguryeo sighed heavily. At this moment, all his edge and sharpness had been worn away. He only wanted to leave a little legacy for Goguryeo.

Even though it is unlikely that the Tang Dynasty will accept peace talks, we can only try our best!
just,

In the spacious hall, there were densely packed civil officials and military officers, but there was silence, and no one came forward.

“Your Majesty…”

"Under the current situation...if we go, our sincerity won't be very strong. Da Yan will probably not accept it...If you can go..."

A senior civil official stepped forward and spoke while meeting the gaze of the King of Goguryeo.

Under normal circumstances, if the King of Goguryeo heard such words, he might have punished his entire clan!

But at the moment, he remained silent and had no desire to get angry.

"Yes, my king, in order to prevent Goguryeo from being destroyed... you must bear with it for a while."

When the tree falls, the dogs scatter!

The once glorious Goguryeo Dynasty, in the face of this crisis, was divided. No one was willing to stand up, but they all put pressure on the King of Goguryeo.

"you.……"

The dead silence on the face of the King of Goguryeo became even more intense. Are these the civil and military officials in his court?

In this light, the demise of Goguryeo seems to be not unreasonable.

………………

One day later, Guo Shoujing led his army to the outside of the royal city.

Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered together, and the black mass made the defenders in the royal city lose the desire to fight.

Faced with such a powerful army, no Goguryeo soldier had any hope of survival and believed that the city beneath their feet could stop them!
It is only a matter of time before the city is destroyed and the country is ruined!
"Lord Guo! The Goguryeo royal city is in disarray! Without supplies and support, they will soon collapse."

Inside the tent, Chen Qingzhi clasped his hands with a big smile on his face.

He didn't use a single soldier, he just surrounded the huge Goguryeo royal city, and made everyone in the city gradually lose the ability to resist in panic!

"Hahaha... Very good! Soldiers, you have worked hard! When the Goguryeo royal city is captured, it is time for the court to reward the meritorious service!"

Guo Shoujing was in a very good mood, so how could he allow anyone to sleep soundly beside his bed?
After fighting for many days, the unstable factor of Goguryeo can finally be eliminated!

………………

On the other side, on the wall of Goguryeo royal city.

"Your Majesty! You must return safely..."

Behind the King of Goguryeo, a concubine with tears in her eyes looked at him pitifully.

Normally, a concubine should not appear here, but in the current Goguryeo, no one cares about these details!

Even the huge palace was in chaos! Miyamoto Muyi had already moved everything in the palace!

"Alright! Hang me down."

All the civil and military officials in the court wanted the King of Goguryeo to negotiate peace, but they did not dare to open the city gates.

Facing hundreds of thousands of powerful Tang troops, they were worried that they would be torn to pieces the moment the city was opened.

"Squeak--squeak--" The King of Goguryeo sat upright in a large basket, allowing several soldiers to hang him down.

Everyone on the city wall looked at this scene without feeling anything wrong. Instead, they felt a little bit expectant.

"Master Guo! A man has been hanged in the Goguryeo royal city! He is heading towards our army camp. It looks like the Goguryeo king!"

In the commander's tent, Guo Shoujing was discussing the full-scale siege of the city with his generals when a soldier walked in.

"Oh? What is he doing here?"

Guo Shoujing suddenly became interested. Why did the King of Goguryeo come here at this time instead of staying in the city to discuss how to survive the army?
"Hahaha... Lord Guo, maybe they saw that resistance was hopeless and wanted to come here to beg for mercy."

Chen Qingzhi laughed and said aside.

"Is that so? Since he, as the ruler of a country, has acted like this, we certainly cannot lose the bearing of Dayan! Follow me and go out to welcome the guests."

Guo Shoujing was in a good mood, but he didn't intend to make things difficult for the other party.

On the other side, the King of Goguryeo slowly walked towards the Dayan military camp.

Looking at the densely packed Da Yan soldiers in front of him, the fear in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

Is this the mighty army of Da Yan? My Goguryeo... It's not unfair that I lost.
The King of Goguryeo looked gloomy. He had worked hard since he became the King of Goguryeo. After so many years of recuperation, Goguryeo had only grown to this size! He was originally a little complacent.

Now it seems that Goguryeo is nothing in front of the behemoth Dayan!

"Hahahaha... The King of Goguryeo came all the way here to see me without waiting for my summons. I am deeply pleased."

Guo Shoujing and his group came out quickly. When he saw people, he burst into laughter and spoke first.

"Audience..."

The King of Goguryeo was in a trance after hearing this. An audience?

Isn't that the behavior of a minister? When did he become a minister of the Tang Dynasty?

The people behind Guo Shoujing looked at each other in bewilderment. This statement made the King of Goguryeo look inferior.

"Look at my poor memory! Come, come, come! Follow me and sit down in the commander's tent."

The King of Goguryeo stood there in silence, somewhat awkwardly. Guo Shoujing left him alone for a long time before he seemed to suddenly realize something.

"Someone! Bring a seat to the King of Goguryeo!"

In the commander's tent, Guo Shoujing waved his hand and called over a soldier, who was holding a chair in his hand.

It's called a chair, but it's just a few pieces of wood put together. It looks shaky and you might fall to the ground if you sit on it.
The King of Goguryeo glanced at the "chair", clenched his fists, and there was a hint of anger brewing in his eyes.

Was this a show of force for him? He really didn't take the King of Goguryeo seriously.

"Huh...thank you, Master Guo."

He exhaled a breath of foul air, and his expression quickly returned to normal, suppressing the anger that was about to emerge in his eyes.

He wasn't here to get angry! If he wanted Dayan to show mercy, he had to swallow all the grievances!
Otherwise, if he angered Guo Shoujing, not only would the peace talks fail, but his head would also be in danger!
"Hahahaha...don't be polite."

Guo Shoujing was a little surprised when he heard this. How could the King of Goguryeo be so self-disciplined?
Originally, he was thinking that if the King of Goguryeo exploded at this time, he could accuse the King of Goguryeo of a crime and keep him here with justification. However, he was still able to endure it!
"Sit down, sit down! Sit down and talk! We in Dayan usually treat our subjects like our own sons."

Guo Shoujing gave the soldier a look, indicating that he should put the chair in front of him, and at the same time spoke condescendingly to the King of Goguryeo.

The chair was placed right in the middle of the seats for the generals. The King of Goguryeo was looking there, and the old demon and other generals looked at him in a very strange way, as if he were a monkey.

And Guo Shoujing's words also seemed to have a hidden meaning. He treated his subjects like his own sons?
Isn't it the King of Goguryeo in front of him? This is clearly the scene. The King of Goguryeo is just a minister of Da Yan.

The King of Goguryeo had just sat down, and when he heard Guo Shoujing's words, the smile on his face froze. Seeing the teasing looks on the faces of the Dayan generals around him, he felt extremely unnatural.

"Ha ha.…."

The old goblin looked at the extremely embarrassed King Goguryeo, holding back his smile and trying hard not to laugh out loud.

"Huh? Cheng Yaojin? What's wrong with you? How can you be so rude in front of the King of Goguryeo?"

Guo Shoujing may have heard the old witch's laughter, and he pretended to be a little annoyed and scolded him.

"Master Guo, my son has made some contributions recently. I am happy for him because you thought of this."

The smile on the old goblin's face did not diminish, but he shook his head and explained.

"My son has made a contribution?"

The King of Goguryeo was somewhat disdainful when he heard this. Cheng Yaojin was obviously making fun of him! Otherwise, why would he think of such a thing in such an occasion?
"Hmm...ha..."

On the other side, Duan Zhixuan couldn't help laughing when he saw the old witch talking nonsense in a serious manner.

The King of Goguryeo finally couldn't bear it anymore, his face was full of black lines, and the looks from people around him made him want to find a hole and bury his head!

"What? Duan Zhixuan! Your son also made contributions?"

Guo Shoujing seemed not to notice the expression of the King of Goguryeo and glared at Duan Zhixuan.

"Yes! It is indeed so! I am so happy!"

Duan Zhixuan immediately tightened his face and spoke very seriously, imitating the old witch's manner.

"Another son's meritorious service? Could it be that your two sons are the same person? This is clearly making fun of him! What kind of excuse are you using your son for?!"

The King of Goguryeo looked at the two people who were trying to hold back their laughter and gritted his teeth in anger. However, he did not dare to lose his temper easily in front of Guo Shoujing and could only suppress his anger bit by bit.

"Even if you have made achievements, don't be complacent! You should encourage the younger generation and let your sons strive to make more achievements..."

"Master Guo! I came here this time to discuss something."

The King of Goguryeo looked a little gloomy. He really couldn't bear it anymore, so he interrupted Guo Shoujing and wanted to get straight to the point to discuss peace talks.

"Oh? Just tell me what you have to say and see if I can help you."

Guo Shoujing leaned on the throne and looked down at the King of Goguryeo.

"Yang Wanchun's gathering of troops to attack Goguryeo was a decision he made on his own! It has nothing to do with the Great Yan court. God is merciful, and I hope Lord Guo can show mercy and let Goguryeo live."

Goguryeo did not continue to beat around the bush. He was afraid that if he didn't say it, he would have to continue and be teased like a monkey!
"Let Goguryeo have a chance to live?
Guo Shoujing put away his previous joking, and the majesty of a prime minister returned to him, making him look sacred and inviolable!

The prime minister's aura was overwhelming and crushed the King of Goguryeo, putting him under great pressure.

"Master Guo... I, Goguryeo, believe that I am no match for Dayan... Even if Yang Wanchun did something wrong, he is already dead, and Goguryeo has paid a heavy price."

Even though the King of Goguryeo noticed that Guo Shoujing's tone was extremely unfriendly and looked like he was about to explode, he still gritted his teeth and continued speaking.
