Chapter 1556: Fear_2

“Minister song, is there any news from the supervisor?” Emperor Yongxing took a step forward and asked.

He stared at Song Qing with hope in his eyes.

In comparison, Song Qing was like a stray dog. His face was pale and he had dark circles under his eyes.

“Your Majesty, teacher Jian Zheng, His Majesty has fallen …”

Emperor Yongxing sat on the big chair as if his bones had been pulled out.

After a while, he stood up in a flustered manner and pointed at Song Qing. He roared, ”

“Nonsense. Song Qing, do you know what you are saying? The director is your teacher, how dare you curse him?”

He stood up and waved his sleeves with all his might, roaring, ”

“In Da Feng, who is his opponent? tell me, who is his opponent?”

Song Qing said with a wooden expression, ”

senior Brother Sun has done a preliminary investigation. Teacher Jian Zheng may have died. That day, there was a strange phenomenon in Yunzhou and the fate energy was lost. After teacher Jian Zheng’s aura disappeared, he never appeared again.

Emperor Yongxing slowly slumped on the big chair and muttered, ”

supervisor, how could this be? who could have killed him …

Song Qing said woodenly, ”

“The number of transcendent experts in the rebel army of Yunzhou far exceeds our imagination.”

Emperor Yongxing sat in a daze for a long time, as if he could not stand the cold wind, and his body trembled slightly.

He was enveloped in great fear.

………..

The next day, the news of the fall of Qingzhou and the death of the supervisor spread throughout the capital’s officialdom, causing a huge sensation.

The ministers gathered at the meridian Gate and requested to see the Emperor, but they were blocked outside.

Emperor Yongxing was sick. He was scared sick.

It was not until dusk that everyone saw him in the Imperial study. Overnight, Emperor Yongxing seemed to have been drained of all his energy. His eyes were unfocused and his face was pale.

Everyone was shocked, and the first assistant, Qian Qingshu, said sorrowfully, ”

“Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body.”

Emperor Yongxing laughed bitterly,

“Dragon body? At a time like this, do I still care about this body of flesh and blood?

“Everyone, the supervisor is dead, what should we do? The rebel army and yang Gong are confronting each other at the border of Yongzhou. Once they stabilize Qingzhou, they will definitely make a comeback and attack the capital sooner or later.”

Prison was the last backbone of Da Feng.

Imperial censor of the left Liu Hong said,

“Your Majesty, there’s still Xu yinluo and Da Feng. We’re not without a fighting chance.”

Emperor Yongxing shook his head slightly,

“Although my cultivation is shallow, I know what a rank 3 martial artist can and can’t do.

even the supervisor died at the hands of the rebel army. What can Xu yinluo do? ”

Liu Hong was at a loss for words.

In the Imperial study, the atmosphere was heavy and silent.

After a long time, the official of the court of judicial review said in a low voice, ”

“Your Majesty, why don’t we make peace?”

Peace … Emperor Yongxing’s eyes lit up, but he shook his head and smiled bitterly, ”

the rebel army has come with a menacing momentum and wants to take over Da Feng’s territory. How could they agree to peace? ”

“Your Majesty, how would you know if you don’t try?” Someone said.

“I’m tired.” Emperor Yongxing said dejectedly,

“Let me consider it.”

………..

Huaiqing Manor, Imperial City.

A plain carriage stopped outside the manor. Liu Hong, who had taken over Wei Yuan’s position and became the former leader of the Wei faction, got off the carriage and went straight in.

They passed through the front yard and arrived at the living room.

In the spacious and elegant Hall, the cold eldest Princess huaiqing, dressed in a plum blossom Palace dress, sat by the table and waited for a long time.

“I’ve already been to the Directorate of Celestials and met with Song Qing and sun Xuanji. I’m afraid that the director’s situation is really grim.”

The eldest princess’s expression was solemn, which was a rare sight. She looked at Liu Hong, who was entering the hall, and said,

“What’s the attitude of His Majesty and the other Dukes?”

Liu Hong sighed, ”

“Without the supervisor, the backbone of His Majesty and the Dukes is broken, and they have lost their courage. The Minister of the Supreme Court proposed peace, but His Majesty did not agree, but he did not object either, only saying that he would consider it. ”

“Negotiate peace …” Huaiqing muttered to himself. After a moment, he shook his head.

“The rebel Army’s ambition is in the Central Plains, their ambition is the throne. Even if they agreed, they would demand an exorbitant price. They would first ask for benefits before giving them a temporary peace. Using a blunt knife to cut flesh will only result in a slower death.”

Liu Hong smiled bitterly, ”

“Your Highness, you’re just a bystander.

“His Majesty didn’t have morning court today. He’s sick, and he’s sick from fear. At this time, if the rebel leader asks for peace, he will agree to it at all costs, just like a drowning man grasping at a life-saving straw.”

As he spoke, Liu Hong’s face was full of worry, ”

“But there is a reason for Your Majesty’s fear. The supervisors are all dead, who can resist Yunzhou?

“Xu yinluo is only a third-grade martial artist, and the state preceptor is a second-grade martial artist. Is she really willing to die for Da Feng? Even if he was willing, he might not be able to do it.

Your Highness, you’ve always been wise and resourceful. Please tell me how to break out of this situation …

When the Royal study was discussing matters, he did not object to the peace negotiations. If it was not him, he would not know what to do.

Huaiqing was silent for a long time before he slowly said,

“I’d rather be broken Jade than intact tile!”

……….

Qingzhou.

In the Chief Administrator’s Office, Qi Guangbo sat behind the large table that originally belonged to yang Gong, and below him were a group of generals. The head of the table on the left was Ji Xuan, and the head of the table on the right was GE Wenxuan.

Of these two people, the former had attacked cities and destroyed strongholds along the way, chasing down the deserters of Qingzhou, and had made great military achievements.

The latter, on the other hand, had helped Qi Guangbo capture Wan County and had made great contributions. In addition to his identity as Xu Pingfeng’s disciple, his status in the Army was extremely high, only slightly lower than Ji Xuan’s.

As for the Xuanwu steel cavalry and the Vermillion Bird flying cavalry, they belonged to Xu Pingfeng and did not appear.

“It’s not a meeting in the military tent, so don’t be so formal.”

Qi Guangbo laughed. it’s all thanks to all of you that we were able to take down Qingzhou. Tonight, we will reward the three armies with wine, food, and beauties. We have everything we need.

All the generals laughed and shouted, ”

“Many thanks, great general.”

Qi Guangbo nodded, ”

however, after today, you have to restrain your soldiers and stop robbing the people. Qingzhou will be our territory from now on. Do you understand? ”

“Yes!”

All the soldiers agreed.

Zhuo Haoran was satisfied and asked, ”

“Great general, when are you going to lead us North? everyone says that the capital is the best city in the Central Plains and the richest. Our brothers can’t wait to see it.”

Someone laughed and said, ”

“After we kill our way to the capital, don’t you f * cking mess around. The capital is rich and prosperous, but beautiful women are more attractive than gold and silver. This father also wants to taste what it’s like to be a woman of a high official.”

Someone immediately laughed and scolded, ”

“Useless thing, if you want to sleep with someone, then sleep with someone of high status. Princesses, junzhu, harem concubines, aren’t they more attractive than a dog fart noble woman?”

The crowd burst into laughter.

After taking down Qingzhou, the morale of the Yunzhou Army was high. From the generals to the ordinary soldiers, they were all ready to go north. They could not wait to attack the capital in one breath.

But thinking about it, there were rules in the army and war. Now that the rebel army had taken down Qingzhou, they needed to stabilize this territory, appease the people and Squires, repair the city walls, collect grain, and so on.

All of this required time. It wasn’t like a robbery by other races, where they would leave in a hurry after snatching their things and people.

GE Wenxuan raised his finger and knocked on the table.

The clamor died down a little, and he said, ”

“Great general, this general feels that we can’t be idle during the rest period.

“We can send people to infiltrate the various provinces of great Feng and spread the news of the death of the supervisor. First, it can create chaos, and second, it can strengthen the momentum of the cloud Prefecture’s Army,”

“This is a good plan,” Qi Guangbo gave an affirmative attitude.

Ji Xuan said,

“We have suffered heavy casualties in this battle, so we have to replenish our forces and recruit refugees. However, the combat power of the refugees is limited, and it’s a problem to replenish the middle level combat power.”

Qi Guangbo already had an idea, but he still asked, ”

“Zisu, do you have any suggestions?”

“You can recruit martial artists from the pugilistic world,” Ji Xuan replied.

This was a tradition of the hidden Dragon City. Among the generals present, more than half of them were originally ordinary people in the martial world. They had fled to the clouds Plains and then joined the hidden Dragon City.

Qi Guangbo nodded and looked around at everyone. Suddenly, he asked, ”

“What do you think the Imperial court will do without the supervisor?”

Zhuo Haoran laughed.

“I’m afraid the little emperor is so scared that he peed his pants.”

All the generals agreed, ”

“After losing The Guardian, the supervisor, Da Feng is a sick Tiger without claws and teeth. He looks good but is useless.”

“Xu Qi ‘an is the only one who can support us.”

bah, what’s he trying to do? a third-rank martial artist is powerful, but he’s nothing in front of the state preceptor.

At this moment, Ji Xuan sneered and said, ”

indeed, he won’t be able to cause any more trouble. The demon-sealing nail that the state preceptor planted in his body will be able to suppress him to rank-3.

GE Wenxuan smiled and continued, ”

“Imperial Preceptor’s prediction is godly.”

Seeing that the topic had changed, Qi Guangbo raised his hand, and the clamor died down. He said, ”

“That’s right. In the great Feng imperial court, from the king to the officials, they must be in a state of panic. Then, what if our master proposes a peace treaty?”

Everyone was stunned.
