Prosperous advisors

Chapter 686 The war started, reunion (3)
Seeing the sound of Ming Jin retreating from the top of the city of Huaguo, the soldiers of Huaguo retreated quickly like a tide, leaving only corpses all over the ground.Rong Jin nodded calmly, looked at the sky, and said nonchalantly: "Retreat, we will fight again tomorrow! Nangong Yu, take down the tower within three days, and I will make you a general."

Nangong Yu was startled for a moment, then suddenly overjoyed, he said loudly: "The last general takes orders!"

Watching Rong Jin ride away on horseback, Nangong Yu was rarely in a daze.In just two years after leaving the Imperial City of Xiyue, the changes in the Imperial City have been earth-shaking.The dude prince who had stolen tens of thousands of taels of silver from him became the king of a country.Gu Liuyun, who once befriended and regarded as a good friend and confidant, turned out to be a woman, and even became the prime minister.All of this is beyond the comprehension of Nangong Yu who is far away from the imperial city and at the border.The only thing he was lucky about was that both the Nangong family and Zhuang Wang's mansion survived the successive turmoil.

After shaking the Zhanlu sword in his hand, Nangong Yu looked back at the tower in the distance with a flash of determination in his eyes.He will definitely take this city!He will never tarnish his father's reputation!

In the lobby of the general's mansion in the city, Murong Ke looked at the generals full of seats with gloomy expressions.After a long while, he finally opened his mouth and said, "General Fang, what do you think of today's battle?"

The middle-aged general who was sitting under Murong Ke's command didn't look good, and said in a deep voice, "The Western Army has far more people than our army. And... it is also better than our army. From the point of view of the last general, if the reinforcements do not I see, the army at most...can only hold for three days." Actually, this is still implicit, the emperor of Xiyue marched personally, and the soldiers of Xiyue were in full swing.And they, although they had King Fu in command, but... King Fu's aura was obviously far inferior to that of Rong Jin, the emperor of Xiyue.

Even if they don't want to admit it, they still have to face this reality. Hua Guo's military strength is not only inferior to that of the Northern Han Dynasty, but now even Xiyue is quite inferior.

bump!Murong Ke slapped the table in front of him fiercely, stared at General Fang coldly and said, "As a general of the Hua Kingdom, do you lose before you fight? No matter what method you use, this king must at least hold Xi Fifteen days for Vietnam's army."

Although there are some soldiers and horses nearby that can rush over continuously, it will take at least [-] days for the real reinforcements to arrive.Where is three days enough?

General Fang gritted his teeth, nodded and said: "The last general will definitely defend Hua Guo with all his might." But he didn't say how many days he would be able to defend.As generals, they can only do their best.

Looking at the worried people in front of him, Murong Ke waved his hands irritably: "Go down!"

"Yes, I will retire at the end!"

The hall quickly became quiet. Murong Ke rubbed his brows wearily, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Mu Qingyi?"

The attendant beside him replied in a low voice: "Qi Wang Ye, I was imprisoned together with my elder brother Shujun."

"Idiot!" Murong Ke said angrily, "Who asked you to lock them together? Bring them out immediately, and keep Mu Qingyi alone."

"Yes."

"Wait..." Murong Ke hesitated for a moment, then said, "Bring Mu Qingyi to see me."

Mu Qingyi was imprisoned in the General's Mansion, but it will be time soon, "My lord, bring Mu Qingyi here." Murong Ke sat up and looked at the woman in white who followed the guards into the hall with deep eyes.

After a day of tossing, Mu Qingyi's clothes were stained with some dust and blood, but her expression was still as calm as before.This kind of calmness made her look incomparably at ease, as if the white clothes were stained not with blood but with beautiful pictures.

Murong Ke shrank his eyes, stared at Mu Qingyi and said, "Does Mu Xiang know what happened now?"

Mu Qingyi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Naturally, I've been thinking about the sounds on the battlefield all afternoon today." This border town is not big, and once a fight starts on the battlefield, it can be heard anywhere in the city.

Murong Ke said in a deep voice: "Rong Jin led his troops to invade our country of China. After all, Prime Minister Mu is also a native of China, so why just sit idly by?"

Mu Qingyi smiled, staring at the man in front of him with a half-smile and said indifferently: "Hua people? King Fu now remembers that Mu Qingyi is from Hua country? When Emperor Hua harmed my people, he planned to marry me in Xiyue King Fu, Why didn't King Fu and Emperor Hua remember that Mu Qingyi is from Hua Country this time after thousands of miles of pursuit?"

Murong Ke froze for a moment, frowned and said, "When did Royal Father harm your people? The death of the Sucheng Hou Mansion is their own fault, not to mention that there are many Mu Xiang who contributed to the flames. It is too much for you to pin the crime on Royal Father now." .”

Mu Qingyi sneered, and said indifferently, "The Gu family."

Murong Ke was suddenly dumbfounded.What happened to the Gu family was indeed the fact that the royal family of the Hua Kingdom had treated all the ministers badly, and this matter has long been known throughout the world.As for the members of the Gu family, except for the erratic Gu Xiuting, all of them were already dead, and even if they wanted to make up for it, they couldn't make up for it.Mu Qingyi had been acting in the name of the Gu family before, but that didn't mean he was the Gu family!

"It's ridiculous for Mu Xiang to use such an excuse. The Gu family...Mu Xiang has no blood relationship with the Gu family." Murong Ke sneered.

Mu Qingyi smiled and said: "King Fu is right, so...just now I was just joking about the truth. As for the matter of His Majesty's personal conquest, as the prime minister of Xiyue, the truth is impossible to take the inside out."

"Don't forget, Hua Guo gave birth to you and raised you!" Murong Ke said angrily.

"So what?" Mu Qingyi sneered, with obvious disdain in her eyes, "So, the truth should be crushed by your Murong family and you must be loyal and wholehearted? The world...is the world of the people of the world, not you, Murong. The world belongs to the family. Since the Murong family has no morals, everyone gets to punish them!"

"Presumptuous!" Murong Ke was furious.

Mu Qingyi smiled coldly, disapproving.

Murong Ke was condescending and stood in the lobby waiting for Mu Qingyi who was below the hall for a long time, but in the end he could only give up dejectedly.Some people in this world, even women, cannot be frightened by harsh threats.Murong Ke sighed, pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Master Mu, please sit down."

Mu Qingyi walked to the side, picked a chair at random and sat down, calmly waiting for Murong Ke to speak again.

Murong Ke said in a deep voice: "Mu Xiang, as long as you can persuade Rong Jin to give up withdrawing troops, I will definitely send you out of the customs safely." Murong Ke is not stupid, he naturally knows that the current force is not from Xiyue at all. opponent.Over the years, the Emperor Hua became older and spent more time suppressing his courtiers. Hua Guo's military strength was already deteriorating.And Rong Jin had just ascended to the throne not long ago, and his foundation was not up to par, Hua Huang didn't think that Rong Jin would send troops to China at this time.But it is a pity that it is obvious that Huahuang's calculation was wrong.Perhaps Rong Jin was really dissatisfied, but it was clear that Rong Jin was not afraid of fighting.

Mu Qingyi lowered her eyes and said softly, "I'm sorry, but the truth can't be done."
