Yan Li took the sword and walked up the tower step by step. The broken stone platform was cold and ruthless. Whose blood will be sprinkled on these stone slabs tonight.
Standing upstairs, looking at the surrender platform that has been built downstairs, who will be standing on it in a while? What kind of careerist is he, that Li Hai actually plans to kill him
"Commander Nie, can you set me a table of food and drink?" Yan Li asked suddenly.
Nie Ling was stunned for a moment, with a hint of disdain on his face. It turned out that the majestic Prime Minister of the Great Jing Kingdom was so timid that he had to anesthetize himself with alcohol before going to battle.
"Yes! The last general ordered someone to set up a table of food and wine." Nie Lingzhen then said to the school lieutenant next to him, "Have you heard what the prime minister said, hurry up and make preparations!"
"Yes!" As expected of a person living in the army, the voice of the answer was deafening.
After a while, the food and wine were laid out in front of Yan Li, and he sat down directly without being polite.
"Commander Nie, would you like to have a drink together?"
Nie Lingzhen smiled and said: "The last general dare not! Prime Minister take it slow!"
Yan Li didn't care about Nie Lingzhen, and drank by himself, watching the scene of the landing downstairs through the paper window.
After drinking three cups, a large group of people came from the northwest. Some rode horses, some walked, and some rode in carriages. Judging by their clothes, they were indeed from foreign vassals. Yan Li roughly estimated that there were about a thousand people.
When they approached and stood under the surrender platform, Yan Li's eyes narrowed suddenly, and a trace of astonishment flashed across his face.
Those are not people from foreign vassals, but people from the Great Thorn Kingdom! The face of the other person was stern and cold, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. Could it be...
Yan Li shook his head. He didn't dare to imagine that this was also Li Hai's conspiracy. He deliberately designed the surrender of the foreign domain. In fact, it was just a costume of the Imperial Palace Guards. When the person who came to preside over the surrender ceremony stood on the surrender platform, he would attack him!
Although the wine was warm, Yan Li's hands were shaking. What kind of person is the person Li Hai is going to deal with, who wants to surround him three layers in and out
Yan Li looked at the troops stationed at the city gate, each of them looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Yan Li looked at Nie Lingzhen who was standing beside him, but there was a smug smile on the corner of Nie Lingzhen's mouth.
It seems that today, Li Hai and Nie Lingzhen are bound to win.
"Commander Nie, why hasn't the person presiding over the surrender ceremony come?" Yan Li asked pretending to be relaxed.
Nie Lingzhen pursed her lips: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, she will be here soon!"
As soon as the words fell, the sound of blowing, blowing, and beating came into Yan Li's ears, presumably this was the person who came to the acceptance platform to preside over the surrender.
Yan Li wanted to leave the room and go to the female wall to watch, but was stopped by Nie Lingzhen.
"Prime Minister, we can't show our faces on the female wall, or if she sees it, the plan will fail. Let's stay in this room and watch through the window, and when the cannon fires downstairs, we will kill!"
Nie Lingzhen's strong arm was thrown across Yan Li's face, which was a little rude; but soldiers are so rude, Yan Li didn't blame him.
Yan Li sat on the chair, feeling uneasy. It seemed that the sword on the table was connected to his heart, and it was ringing like a wolf.
First, a Taoist official walked out of the city gate, and then the guarding army. It turned out to be the Imperial Forest Army.
Isn't it the people in the palace who are qualified to be guarded by the Imperial Forest Army? Could it be that the person who is here to host is someone from the palace? Yan Li looked at Nie Lingzhen again, the pride on Nie Lingzhen's face became more and more obvious, like ripples caused by a stone, rippling on his face.
After the imperial guards passed by, a man was seen walking out of the city gate majestically on a tall horse.
Yan Li's heart skipped a beat: Isn't that person Song Qiang? Could it be that Song Qiang was the person who presided over the surrender ceremony today? Song Qiang is the person Li Hai wants to kill
Does Song Qiang have any traces of rebellion
A lot of doubts flooded Yan Li's mind together, driving him almost crazy.
After Song Qiang, a noble and gorgeous mane-cut sedan chair came out slowly, followed by a servant girl: holding two buns and holding a stool in her hand; she was none other than Chuntao!
Why is Chuntao here? Could it be that the person sitting in the sedan chair is Rong Changan? The person Li Hai wants to kill is Rong Chang'an
Thinking of this, Yan Li's hands trembled more violently, his heart was pounding, his complexion was even paler, and his back and forehead were covered with sweat.
"Prime Minister Yan, what's wrong with you?" Nie Lingzhen thought that Yan Li was afraid, that's why he was like this.
Yan Li calmed down: "Oh, it's nothing, maybe it's because of drinking, the wind is strong upstairs, people who drink are most afraid of wind, so they have this kind of reaction."
Nie Lingzhen said solemnly: "Since this is the case, the Prime Minister should stop drinking. We only need to wait for the other party to get on the surrender platform, and then we are about to act."
"Who is the person sitting in the sedan chair?" Yan Li asked again.
Nie Lingzhen still kept it secret: "The Prime Minister will know when she gets off the sedan chair!"
Asking is equivalent to not asking.
Yan Li grabbed the sword on the table and held it tightly. Could it be that tonight, he is going to use the sword that once saved Rong Changan to pierce her tender chest
In the slanting sun, the sedan chair stopped on the landing platform, and the painted corners on the tower made a three-way call.
Song Qiang jumped off his horse and came to Rong Changan's sedan chair: "General Rong, you have arrived."
Rong Changan has experienced many wars, and she can already smell murderous intent with her nose.
"Is there anything strange around you?"
Song Qiang replied cautiously: "I haven't found anything unusual yet. General, are you calling me here because you are afraid of accidents?"
Rong Chang'an pondered: "I have a premonition that something will happen on the platform."
"What could it be?" Song Qiang asked.
Rong Changan shook his head: "I don't know either. You just need to be careful."
"Okay, I must watch carefully, and I will definitely protect the general."
In every previous battle, with Song Qiang by his side to help, Rong Changan was always safe and sound. She knew that Li Hai had asked her to come to the acceptance platform, it must not be because he was delayed by other matters, it must be because of ulterior motives. That's why she called Song Qiang over.
"When will we start accepting the surrender of foreign domains?" Song Qiang asked.
The sunlight came in through the car curtain from the west, and hit Rong Changan's resolute, calm and charming face, staining her with a layer of blood red.
"Wait for the sun to go down before starting, and then light the torches."
Rong Chang'an stretched out her slender hand, and gently opened a small gap in the silk curtain. She saw the dilapidated ancient city building with its back facing the setting sun and the vast blue sky, giving off a desolate and chilling atmosphere. And the soldier standing on the city tower under the setting sun looked directly at her, with murderous intent in his eyes. Moreover, she faintly saw a few figures in the small room on the tower.
Who is standing and sitting in it
When the twilight was getting thicker, she also slowly saw that the sitting person was wearing a white robe, and that white robe was just like the one she had seen many times before!
