Li Xiong, who was being carried by the dragon chariot, gradually disappeared from sight. Queen Ren's expression suddenly changed drastically, and her pretty face that could confuse all living beings turned into panic. Li Xiong's words to bury her were like a huge stone.

In her heart, she was in chaos

Like an ant on a hot pot, she walked around the palace without a clue for a few times. Empress Ren then recruited a confidant, Huang Men, and asked him to wait in the front hall to find out some information and then think about how to deal with it.

The size of the palace is not too big, and the bedroom is only a few yards away from the front hall. "Your Majesty has arrived!" Before Li Xiong arrived, Huangmen shouted from afar: "Pao Pao! Shu*"

A group of important ministers had been waiting for a long time. When they heard the voice, they stood up quickly. When Li Xiong was carried in, they all saluted and said, "I will see you, Your Majesty."

Li Xiong waved his hand: "Your Majesty, no courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The officials all expressed their thanks and returned to their original seats to sit down.

Li Xiong looked at them one by one with dull eyes, and asked feebly: "Why are all the ministers here?"

"This..." When everyone saw that Li Xiong was so ill, they couldn't bear to attack him. They all looked at each other and signaled each other to speak. Prime Minister Fan Bi took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said: "

Your Majesty, the Jin army has arrived at the city early this morning."

The palace instantly fell into deathly silence. To the officials' expectation, Li Xiong did not show an excessive reaction. His face was calm and showed no fluctuation. It seemed that he had been mentally prepared for a long time. Li Xiong took a long breath and said,

He sighed to himself: "What is supposed to come has come. My kingdom will fall into the hands of others in just more than ten years."

Taifu Li Xiang took over the conversation and said: "Your Majesty, I see that the Jin army only has more than 50,000 soldiers. Our army has 10,000 defenders in Shaocheng and 30,000 defenders in Taicheng, plus the 10,000 imperial guards in your Majesty's palace."

, we and other servants can also be dispatched, and we might not be able to fight the Jin army. Why should your majesty be so pessimistic?"

There was a trace of fear on Li Xiong's face, and he shook his head and said: "You don't understand. Our army will definitely lose in a battle with Pao Shu. Even if we stick to the city, it is useless. Chengdu can't defend it."

Everyone looked at each other. It was obvious that Li Xiong must have encountered something terrible in Jiange, which made him frightened, but they did not dare to ask any more questions.

After a while, Li Xiong seemed to have remembered something and asked, "Did the Jin army ever try to surrender to me?"

Li Xiang cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Jin army did indeed recruit surrender and gave our army ten days to consider..."

As Li Xiang narrated the conversation with Yunfeng, Li Xiong felt that he was extremely angry and refused to allow the people to go out of the city to harvest rice. This would inevitably lead to complaints and lose the people's hearts. However, if the people were allowed to go out to harvest rice, it goes without saying that the rice harvest was over.

, the people's hearts have also gone there. The morale of his 30,000-strong army was shattered by the opponent's shouting day and night. In the end, they were defeated without a fight. He couldn't help but cursed: "You damn Yunfeng is here again."

Set...cough cough cough"

Perhaps out of anger, Li Xiong coughed violently, his body curled up into a shrimp, and Huang Men quickly beat his back repeatedly.

After a long while, the coughing gradually subsided. Li Xiong slowly raised his head and looked around for a while at the splendid palace with golden walls. Then he reluctantly withdrew his gaze and said helplessly: "Now that the Jin army has arrived at the city, there is no way for them except to surrender."

There is no other way, but who would be willing to go to the Jin military camp to discuss the details on my behalf?"

"Your Majesty, no! All the monarchs of the past dynasties have surrendered. Apart from Anle Gong Liu Chan and Sun Hao, how many of them can have a good death? Your Majesty, please think twice." Shangshu ordered Yan Shi to persuade him quickly, and other officials also tried to dissuade him.

Li Xiong's face was full of reluctance, but his tone was full of sorrow: "Is it possible that I am willing to be a prisoner? Although the Jin army is brave, the Liangzhou Mu is also scheming and good at dividing the morale of the army. He is a tycoon. Just look at his skill of allowing the people to go out of the city to harvest rice.

, how many people in the past and present have been able to do it?

Becoming an enemy will only increase casualties. In the end, the city will fall and all lives will be ruined. If I surrender, I may be assassinated by this person, but you and the people will be spared. My wish is enough and I can't.

After being the emperor of peace for more than ten years, I have enjoyed what I should enjoy, and my life is worthy of it." After saying this, his face was already covered with tears.

"His Majesty"

The officials were all moved to tears by Li Xiong's spirit of sacrificing himself for others. They knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly. Even the eunuchs and maidservants of Huangmen who were serving them all knelt down. It was only then that they discovered for the first time,

Li Xiong is so great

Suddenly, the hall was filled with a sad atmosphere, and all the kings, ministers and maidservants were in tears.

Suddenly, Li Xiang's brows relaxed, he stood up and saluted: "I have a plan in mind, which may be able to keep your majesty safe."

"Oh?" A glimmer of hope appeared on Li Xiong's face and he urged: "Master, please speak."

Li Xiang said confidently: "Your Majesty, please give Princess Wuyang to Liangzhou Mu. Princess Wuyang's golden branches and jade leaves are more than enough for him. In three days, the minister is willing to personally escort the princess out of the city."

Li Xiong immediately recalled that it was his idea last time to take Princess Wuyang to marry Meng Gulu, but this man had a miserable life and died tragically at the hands of Yunfeng, so the matter was over.

But is it useful to send a daughter there? Li Xiong wondered: "If this person comes to the city and can kidnap Princess Wuyang and marry him, do I dare not to care? In this case, what's the difference?"

Li Xiang stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty, there is a big difference. Princess Wuyang is naturally fragile, and I feel pity for her. Unless this person has a heart of stone, he will definitely be obedient to Her Majesty the Princess. Your Majesty can declare your righteousness to her in advance and make her

After they got married, they begged Liangzhou Mu to withdraw his troops and return north, so that maybe our country could have a chance of survival."

Li Xiong's heart moved, and marrying Yunfeng was indeed a good idea, but he frowned and said: "It's just...is three days too hasty? Besides, we don't know whether Liangzhou Mu is willing to marry me, so it's better to send him first

Are you going out of the city to get a message?"

"Your Majesty, not allowed." Li Xiang smiled slightly and said: "If you propose marriage first, the Liangzhou Mu is afraid of being rejected on the spot, so he can only send Princess Wuyang to her unexpectedly. Your Highness, although she has not yet arrived, her country is fragrant.

, ice muscle

Jade bones, poems, paintings and music can all be said. I heard that the Liangzhou shepherd was fond of flowers and lustful women. Your Majesty, just imagine, how could this person not be shocked when he first saw Princess Wuyang? How could he not be in love with her?

How can I be willing to return Her Royal Highness the Princess again?

Now that we are married and promised generous profits, Her Majesty the Princess cried on her pillow again, and she was 50% sure of persuading the Liangzhou Mu to retreat. Even though this person is unwilling to retreat and is determined to destroy me, Your Majesty has done it for me.

How dare he harm his uncle? Is it because he is not afraid of everyone in the world? Or is it because he has the heart to make Her Royal Highness sad?"

Li Xiong secretly exclaimed that if he thought about it, this was really the case. When Yunfeng attacked Jiange, he always had several women with him. If such a person could resist the beauty of his daughter, he would not believe it to his death. He couldn't help but,

My spirits were lifted, and my illness miraculously improved a bit.

Li Xiong actually sat up from the dragon chariot and praised: "The master really has a good plan. I will go back to discuss this matter with Xuan'er." After saying that, he stood up and walked out. Maybe it was a long absence.

On the ground, with some staggering steps

Huang Men hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Your Majesty, be careful."

"Hey" Li Xiong broke away and said: "I'm fine, just wait and follow" (To be continued)
