After listening to Yang Guangzhi's words, Jingchuan Bai glanced at the unfolded credentials and pursed his lips into a successful sneer.
"Did Xiao Muting say anything else?" he asked Yang Guangzhi.
Yang Guangzhi replied: "King Chen promised that as long as the Holy One signs the certificate of credence and stamps the national seal, the certificate of credence will take effect and the Holy One will be allowed to leave Yifeng City safely and will not return to Yifeng City again."
Chase.”
"Huh! But I don't believe him!" Jingchuan Bai snorted coldly.
Yang Guangzhi stood aside with his eyes lowered and did not reply.
"The people in the city have gathered together!" Jingchuan Bai asked again.
The commander of the royal guards around him replied: "As soon as I get back to the emperor, I have asked the prefect in the city to take care of this matter, but I have not received a reply so far."
Jingchuan Bai Leng raised the corners of his lips: "He is also a fool who does things poorly."
He raised his eyes again and looked at Yang Guangzhi: "General Yang, did you only see Xiao Muting over there and no one else?"
Yang Guangzhi knew what he wanted to ask, but he just wanted to pretend to be confused. He raised his head and asked: "I don't know who the emperor is referring to. I saw a lot of people in the military camp over there."
.”
When Jingchuan Bai heard this, he sat up straight and looked at him expectantly: "Have you ever met Xiao Muting's princess?"
"I've seen it, veteran!" Yang Guangzhi replied truthfully.
"How is she? Still..." Jingchuan Bai asked more earnestly.
Yang Guangzhi nodded: "Princess Chen is really young, but she is a very shrewd person. Wearing a silver armor on her body, she is really powerful, and what she said really impressed me."
"She? She's smart? She's wearing armor? And she's got momentum? With her silly look, it would be great if she could come with Xiao Muting to supervise the battle. Why is she wearing armor? What kind of words can she say? They're just silly words.
Even if it is convincing, it is just a copycat talk, and it is probably Xiao Muting who taught her to say it." Jingchuan Bai's disdainful attitude further confirmed Yang Guangzhi's original doubts.
He then said, "What did she say that would make you marvel?"
"Princess Chen once again asked an old minister to tell the emperor something: the people are the water, the king is the boat, the water can carry the boat but also capsize it. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people will lose the world!" Yang Guangzhi answered truthfully.
Jingchuan Bai stood up again and glared at Yang Guangzhi: "She! What does this mean!"
Yang Guangzhi lowered his head slightly and replied: "In my opinion, this is just an exhortation."
"She's just a fool! Who else are you trying to persuade! She overestimates her own abilities, she really thinks she's a golden girl, and she still wants to persuade me!" Jing Chuanbai yelled angrily, and then pointed at Yang Guangzhi: "You won't do the same
I think she came up with these words by herself! You are still amazed by her words!"
Yang Guangzhi raised his head, looked at him calmly, and nodded seriously: "I think Princess Chen's words are quite reasonable. I am impressed!"
"Get out of here! You trash, you've lived so many years in vain, and yet you let a little fool blindfold you, and you're still in awe! Huh! If you want me to sign this credentials, Xiao Muting must
Come up with something that satisfies me in exchange, otherwise, it's impossible for him to send me away like this." Jingchuan Bai once again raised his calculating expression, and he still looked confident.
Yang Guangzhi sighed secretly. He was no longer surprised by Jingchuan Bai's behavior of going back on his word. This could be regarded as his most routine operation.
After bowing and resigning, he walked out of the garden and saw the lieutenant waiting outside the door. He just raised his head, the two of them got on their horses and went straight to the south city gate.
After running out of three streets, Lieutenant General Sun Shilin dared to ask: "General, how is the situation?"
Yang Guangzhi just shook his head. Seeing this, Sun Shilin had already guessed: "He regretted it again?"
"Send someone to inform the other two generals to take precautions. As long as we can keep the people in the city safe, we can be considered worthy of our conscience." Yang Guangzhi sighed feebly.
"Yes!" Sun Shilin replied: "But general, if this happens, will the Shengqin army outside the city..."
"Yes!" Yang Guangzhi replied affirmatively.
"Then what should we do? If they attack the city with artillery, there will be casualties no matter how we defend ourselves!" Sun Shilin said worriedly.
Yang Guangzhi shook his head: "No! Xiao Muting knew that there were people in the city, so he proposed peace talks. Otherwise, he could have used artillery to attack the city during the siege. In that case, this place would become an abandoned city without a single person.
If he could escape, he wouldn't still be sitting there calculating his own selfish interests. This is a great misfortune for Long Anguo!"
"General, why don't we... rebel? As long as we capture him and hand him over to His Highness King Chen of the Holy Qin Dynasty, we can not only protect the safety of the people in this city, but also... we can also save the lives of our brothers in the army.
It seems to me that if we escort him back to the capital with all our strength, that is when our heads fall to the ground, he will not keep his word." Sun Shilin stared at Yang Guangzhi and said in a low voice.
Yang Guangzhi looked at him suddenly, his eyes full of wariness, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know what you are talking about!"
Sun Shilin nodded firmly: "I will know! Such a monarch treats his people as nothing. When a disaster strikes, he doesn't think about how to protect his people, but instead lets the people in his country act as human shields for him. Why should we let us
These people protect him."
"Sun Shilin! Shut up!" Yang Guangzhi shouted in a low voice.
But the two of them couldn't even ride ten steps. He suddenly realized something and turned to look at Sun Shilin, who was thoughtful and frowning: "Shilin, what you just said was really what you thought.
Or someone said something to you."
Sun Shilin looked at him, with a hint of dodge in his eyes, but then he became firm, but Yang Guangzhi still saw this momentary change.
"Who is it?" Yang Guangzhi asked again.
Sun Shilin knew he couldn't hide it, so he could only exhale and said: "General, Shilin has been with the general since he was sixteen years old. Over the years, Shilin has regarded the general as his chief, his father, his mentor, and his subordinate."
I really don’t want to see the general go astray. We were unknown before, and we didn’t know why we went to Xixia Pass and why we wanted to go to war with Sheng Qin. But later, did the general agree with the reasons he gave? Look at him now.
All the reasons are for himself. Has he considered the consequences this move will bring to the entire Long An Kingdom? Even now, when he is forced into a desperate situation, he is still going back on his word and making calculations! His subordinates are not afraid.
We are afraid of dying, but we are afraid of dying in an unknown way, and we are even more afraid of being infamy for the ages, General! So many brothers in the army are still waiting for you to take them home... If there is really no way to save the day, we also want to die on the battlefield.
Instead of dying under the butcher's knife of being framed!"
Yang Guangzhi kept staring at him. Although his face was expressionless, there was no anger in his eyes. Instead, there was a hint of appreciation.
"Is it really just your idea?" Yang Guangzhi asked again.
Sun Shilin shook his head honestly: "What I said to the general is not just my subordinate's personal thoughts, but also the subordinate's final decision after listening to his words. To be honest with the general, he is a member of His Highness King Chen and is affiliated with Feng Qing."
Pavilion!"
"Feng Qing Pavilion! So that's it! Huh! I really didn't expect it!" Yang Guangzhi finally understood and chuckled, shook his head again and took a deep breath: "Notify the entire army! Enter combat readiness immediately and be ready at all times.
We are fighting to protect the people in the city, and if anyone dares to use the people as shields, let me take them down directly!"
"Yes! I have the order!" Sun Shilin replied in surprise.
