Wan Dong didn't think much and turned around to hide the golden light. Xu Wenchuan stopped him in time, and Qiu Wanli's life was saved, but he was seriously injured. The whole person looked like a bloody man, with disheveled hair, shaky, and no longer the same demeanor as before!
After Wan Dong stopped his hand, he turned to look at Xu Wenchuan, waiting for him to make further comments on Qiu Wanli, but his eyes inadvertently found that Bai Zhenshan's brows wrinkled slightly, and there was a clear trace of displeasure in his eyes.
This made Wandong's heart suddenly tighten. It seemed that Bai Zhenshan didn't want Qiu Wanli to live. To put it into detail, this is understandable. How can a king tolerate a minister who is always thinking about the throne under his butt to survive? But then again, Bai Zhenshan is probably not a benevolent king!
"Your Majesty! Although Qiu Wanli has committed a heinous crime, he has indeed made unparalleled contributions to the empire and the country. Now that his cultivation is completely ruined, he is like a useless person. He has suffered the retribution he deserves. Just please Your Majesty, out of past kindness, show mercy and spare his life, and deport his father and son to the border to end their lives."
As soon as Xu Wenchuan finished speaking, Hu Jingqi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, when you personally conquered the eight tribes of Xijue, you fell into the opponent's plan of luring the enemy deeper and were besieged by the Xijue army in Huanglong Mountain. It was critical. At that time, it was Qiu Wanli who led an army of 100,000 people and risked his life to fight his way out of the thousands of troops to protect the emperor and return to Yunzhong City safely. I asked the emperor to say goodbye. Qiu Wanli’s life will be ruined!”
After Hu Jingqi finished speaking, several ministers came up to advise him.
Wan Dong said nothing, his eyes kept wandering on Bai Zhenshan's face. Following the repeated admonitions from the ministers, Bai Zhenshan's expression was obviously much gloomier than before.
"Hmph! Shut up, all of you! I, Qiu Wanli, do I need you to sympathize with me?" Qiu Wanli was covered in blood, but his momentum did not change. He waved his hand fiercely and shouted hysterically.
"Qiu Wanli, at this time, haven't you confessed your guilt yet and repented?" Xu Wenchuan shook his head repeatedly.
"Plead guilty and repent? Hahaha... Don't be ridiculous! There are millions of troops inside and outside Yunzhong City, all controlled by me. Do I need to confess to others and repent?" Qiu Wanli shouted loudly, pointed at Bai Zhenshan, and said, "Bai Zhenshan, you If you don’t want to be trampled to pieces by thousands of troops, issue a call immediately, and I will be my master!”
"Qiu Wanli, are you still stubborn? Now Yunzhong City has indeed assembled a million troops, but they are no longer under your control. The three armies of Yunzhong City have now joined forces, led by Wu Jinhun and The two generals Guo Yi are jointly commanding. As for the ten generals you summoned and their troops, they are all blocked from the city. I believe that as long as His Majesty the Emperor shows his face and exposes your lies, they will immediately stop their rebellion. , defected! In other words, it’s all over.”
Wandong's unhurried words made Qiu Wanli frightened and terrified. However, the faces of Bai Zhenshan, Xu Wenchuan, Bai Die and others showed expressions of ecstasy one after another.
"Boy, what you said is true? Don't lie to us?" Xu Wenchuan was very excited and blurted out involuntarily.
If everything is true as Wandong said, it would be a great merit! A huge war can be resolved without bloodshed. What kind of ability is this? It wasn't Xu Wenchuan who underestimated himself and thought about the matter from beginning to end. He immediately realized that if he had been in charge of everything, it would never be so perfect.
Wan Dong smiled bitterly and said, "How dare your grandson talk nonsense about such a big matter?"
"Good! Well done!" Bai Zhenshan kept praising him, feeling at ease.
"No! It won't! Even if Guo Yi will betray me, Xuanyou will never!" Qiu Wanli was on the edge of despair, but still refused to give up, struggling and shouting.
Wan Dong shook his head and said, "You are right. Xuanyou is indeed loyal to you. But he was killed by me last night. General Guo took his tiger talisman and successfully accepted his army. "
"Ah!? You..." As soon as Wandong said these words, Qiu Wanli felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his face turned gray in the blink of an eye.
"Also! Your plan to order the black armored guards to assassinate General Wu has been known to General Wu in advance."
This wave of blows came one after another. Even when Qiu Wanli was in his prime, he probably couldn't bear it, let alone that at this time, all his cultivation had been destroyed by Wandong, his internal injuries were heavy, and his body was shaking. After three tremors, a blood arrow finally spurted out. His whole body seemed to have lost all strength, and he collapsed heavily on the ground.
"Your Majesty! General Guo leads the envoys of the ten generals to ask for an audience!" A Fengxiang guard hurried in at this time.
"Messenger of the ten generals?" Bai Zhenshan frowned slightly.
Wan Dong smiled and said, "I think General Guo and General Wu must have told the ten generals that His Majesty the Emperor has completely recovered from his illness, so they specially sent envoys to verify it."
When Bai Zhenshan heard this, he immediately laughed loudly, waved his hand and said, "Let them come in!"
Within a moment, Guo Yi personally led ten of his armored and majestic lieutenants into the political hall.
Guo Yi took the lead and walked in front. As soon as he entered the political hall, he couldn't wait to look up. When he saw Bai Zhenshan sitting upright on the dragon chair in good spirits and with a smile on his face, he felt as if his acupuncture points had been tapped. He was stunned on the spot and couldn't wake up for a long time.
"Hahaha... Guo Aiqing, don't you recognize me?"
Bai Zhenshan's smile made Guo Yi feel as if he was electrocuted, and his whole body trembled. Then the tears in his eyes fell down like a string of broken beads. His stature dwarfed, and he knelt on the ground with a pop of his knees, whimpering and saying, "General Guo Yi, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor!" After saying this, Guo Yi couldn't help crying softly.
A general who had been on the battlefield for a long time and experienced life and death would actually start to cry at this time. It can be seen how excited he is at this time, and it can also be seen that he is sincere towards Bai Zhenshan!
Bai Zhenshan couldn't help but hurriedly left the dragon throne, stepped forward personally, helped Guo Yi up from the ground, and sighed, "General Guo's sincerity will always be remembered in my heart!"
Guo Yi immediately responded loudly, "I, my lord, Guo Yi, am willing to die for your majesty, with my heart and brains shattered to pieces!"
"Okay! Okay!" Bai Zhenshan praised twice.
Guo Yi turned around, pointed at the ten generals behind him, and said, "Your Majesty, these ten are the envoys of the Ten Generals. As long as they confirm that Your Majesty has indeed recovered, they will immediately go back and report to the Ten Generals. The general will go to the emperor in person to plead guilty!"
Bai Zhenshan shook his head and said, "The ten generals were also deceived by traitors. What crime are they guilty of?"
When Bai Zhenshan said this, the ten envoys looked at each other and immediately knelt down together, shouting long live!
Bai Zhenshan worked tirelessly to help them up one by one, and then told them not to delay, rush back to their respective camps immediately, and report everything that happened in the Yizheng Hall to their generals in detail. And let their generals settle down their men and horses, and then immediately go to the palace to receive the reward!
Bai Zhenshan's handling was very appropriate, without any faults at all, and he seemed extremely generous, which made Wan Dong sigh even more. No wonder Bai Zhenshan was able to grow the Qingyun Empire to this size, he was really good at it!
Guo Yi did not return with the ten envoys, but stayed. Instead of standing with the civil and military officials, Guo Yi took the initiative to stand next to Wandong.
Wandong smiled and said in a low voice, "General Guo, don't you think it's a shame to stand with a commoner like me?"
Guo Yi snorted softly and said, "What kind of common man are you? You can turn your hands into clouds and rain. The entire Qingyun Empire is wandering in the palm of your hand. Are there any common people like you in the world?"
"Hehe... General Guo, you didn't work with Uncle Wu to resist the troops of the ten generals, but you personally brought the envoy into the palace. Do you not believe me? Do you want to witness it with your own eyes to see if the emperor is really healed?"
A trace of embarrassment immediately flashed across Guo Yi's face, and he coughed and said, "Okay, okay, I judge a gentleman with a villain's heart, and I apologize to you!"
Wandong waved his hand and said, "There's no need to apologize! This is human nature, I would do the same thing."
When Wandong said this, Guo Yi felt much better. But in my heart, I admire Wandong even more. Guo Yi himself probably never thought that one day, he would be impressed by a twenty-year-old boy.
"He Zhen! What are you doing?"
Wan Dong and Guo Y were whispering when suddenly, Xu Wenchuan's thunderous roar rang out. The two of them were startled, and both looked back, only to see He Zhen pull out a sharp knife from somewhere, and stab it into Qiu Wanli's body from behind. The tip of the knife shone with cold light, directly Blood spurted out from Qiu Wanli's chest. The situation was really not ordinary bloody.
Wandong's eyes suddenly narrowed, but he didn't expect that the little He Zhen would have such courage.
"Those who seek to usurp the throne must be punished by everyone! The emperor and your lords cannot bear to kill you, but I will never allow people like you to live in this world!"
"You... you... shameless thief!" Qiu Wanli turned around with difficulty, staring at He Zhen with his eyes, wishing he could shoot out a beam of flame and burn He Zhen alive to ashes.
"He Zhen! You damn bastard, bastard! I'll eat you alive, eat you!!" Seeing this situation, Qiu Yun rushed like he was crazy, struggling and screaming desperately, Wang Yangde couldn't help it. Without waving his hand, he knocked him unconscious.
"Shameless dog thief? Humph... I should give these words to you! Qiu Wanli, just kill you with one knife, it is an advantage for you. If it is my wish, I will cut you into pieces with a thousand knives." He Zhen His face was full of ferocious smiles, looking very scary.
"If...if there is an afterlife, I will...definitely not let go of you!" Qiu Wanli said with overwhelming hatred. (To be continued)
