Chapter 441 Breaking through the city gate
At this time, General Zhu Guo came in a hurry. Before he could get close, his shouts were heard on the city wall.
"City Lord Jinghua, your husband Xiao Chengxian rebelled. After entering Dekang, he kidnapped His Highness the Crown Prince and headed south. He burned the Crown Prince into a charred corpse to provoke the imperial court and defy the imperial power."
Su Manrong on the city wall knew how ridiculous all this was when he heard that the prince was burned to a charred corpse.
Xiao Chengxian never thought of raising an army to rebel, otherwise he would not have helped King Cheng ascend the throne in the first place.
He went to Dekang to help the prince and stabilize the country, so how could he possibly harm the prince?
Everyone in the world may rebel, and everyone may want to harm His Highness the Crown Prince.
But Xiao Chengxian is the only one who doesn't. He just wants the court to be stable, so that he can stay with him in Qianzhou with peace of mind...
What is going on all this, what has Xiao Chengxian experienced, and why has public opinion developed like this?
"General Zhu Guo should know who has the most reason to hurt His Highness the Crown Prince in the world. The person who has the least reason to hurt the Crown Prince is Xiao Chengxian. General Zhu Guo, you also know very well."
As Su Manrong said this, she turned around and looked at Eleven and Yili, telling them not to think too much. All this has nothing to do with Xiao Chengxian...
"Lord Jinghua, you have been in Qianzhou and don't know what happened in Dekang.
Under the watchful eyes of many people in Dekang, Xiao Chengxian hijacked His Highness the Crown Prince and left.ωωw..net
For the sake of the prince's safety, we have never dared to anger Xiao Chengxian.
But Xiao Chengxian was so crazy that he burned the body of His Highness the Crown Prince to provoke the imperial power.
Then they headed south, and after our army pursued them to the Sichuan-Sichuan area, the rebel Xiao Chengxian disappeared.
Qianzhou is located in the Sichuan-Sichuan area. Naturally, we are not as familiar with the topography of Sichuan-Sichuan and Qianzhou as Xiao Chengxian. He has returned to Qianzhou.
Lord Jinghua City, you bear the emperor's favor, and those around you are trying to usurp the throne.
If you hand over the traitor Xiao Chengxian at this time to prove that what Xiao Chengxian did has nothing to do with you, otherwise I will throw down the army and break through the city gate, and the innocent people of Qianzhou will be injured."
General Zhu Guo looked at Su Manrong on the city wall with a leisurely expression. The prince's threat was dead. As long as Xiao Chengxian, who was trying to rebel, was eliminated, no one would be able to stop the third elder brother from ascending the throne...
"Xiao Chengxian has not returned to Qianzhou. There are innocent people in Qianzhou City. General Zhu has been fighting for many years. He should be the most opposed to the war and feels sorry for the innocent people.
General Zhu Guo should stop talking nonsense about breaking down the city gate.
As the general of the Zhu Kingdom, it is true that you command the three armies. But don't forget that you, like me, owe the emperor's favor. Every time you send troops, you must have the emperor's orders.
If we had gathered so many soldiers rashly without His Majesty’s will, I’m afraid we would have been criticized for rebelling.”
Su Manrong glanced condescendingly at General Zhu Guo. She knew that the reckless man below had no imperial edict in his hands.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to talk so much nonsense to me, and he would directly issue the imperial edict to attack the city without wasting time.
Since he doesn't know anything, it proves his conjecture.
Xiao Chengxian was taken away by Ming'an, and it was Ming'an who really wanted to raise an army.
If Xiao Chengxian had fallen into the hands of General Zhu Guo, his life would have been lost by now.
I really don’t know whether she should be happy or worried, after all, Ming An will be crazier than General Zhu Guo...
"Su Manrong, don't excuse the rebels here. You are eloquent and eloquent. I have seen this before.
You are just stalling for time for the traitor Xiao Chengxian. The soldiers, in order to avenge His Highness the Crown Prince, killed the traitor Xiao Chengxian.
If anyone can kill Xiao Chengxian with my own hands, I will report it to the Holy One and grant him the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households."
General Zhuguo didn't intend to talk nonsense with Su Manrong. He conquered Qianzhou now. In the future, when the third elder brother succeeds to the throne, he can directly come to Qianzhou to take over the silver mine.
Otherwise, with Qianzhou as the fiefdom of the Lord of Jinghua City, the imperial court would generally not be able to interfere casually.
"Since I have been entrusted with the emperor's favor, as the lord of a city in Qianzhou, I must protect the people of Qianzhou on behalf of Your Majesty.
The gates of Qianzhou City cannot be opened without the Holy Majesty's order. If General Zhu wants to capture the rebels and comes with the imperial edict, I will personally dig three feet of the ground for General Zhu to find the rebels."
Su Manrong was also sure that General Zhuguo had no imperial decree...
Xiao Chengxian helped Emperor Dekang seize the throne, and she also helped relieve the prince's depression, teaching him to be cheerful and optimistic, and to accept his position as prince.
If Emperor Dekang indiscriminately issued an imperial edict to destroy Qianzhou and push Xiao Chengxian to the forefront, then he would be unkind and unworthy of being a king.
But now General Zhuguo has not come with an imperial edict, which at least proves that Emperor Dekang temporarily believes in Xiao Chengxian...
Si Ling came up behind Su Manrong, nodded to her, and told her the deployment of troops using lip language.
These days, while she is learning sign language, she is also learning lip language from Xiao Chengxian.
I learned sign language to communicate with Jinxiu, and learned lip language purely because I thought it was very powerful.
At least you can find out what the other party talked about without having to ask deliberately.
"The imperial decree will arrive soon. Soldiers, follow me to attack the city."
General Zhu was afraid of long nights and many dreams. After all, we were in Qianzhou. The longer the delay, the more variables there would be.
Emperor Dekan was so ill that he didn't know what he was thinking. He still hasn't issued the imperial edict. He is really confused.
Regardless of whether he can wait for the imperial edict or not, he must conquer Qianzhou...
"Sirs, although I am a woman, I know very well what crime it is for you, as soldiers, to act rashly without military orders."
Su Manrong didn't want the soldiers from Qianzhou to go head-to-head with these soldiers.
But if words can't persuade these people to give up the siege, she will show them the power of modern weapons...
"What are you doing in a daze? You will be outside, and your life will be compromised.
The Lord of Jinghua City is just stalling for time, if we wait for Qianzhou to make arrangements, we will not be able to break through."
General Zhu Guo looked at the soldiers who were standing there hesitating, and sternly accused them.
The next second, a little red appeared on his forehead out of thin air.
"General, general, your forehead is red..."
"Lieutenant, your forehead is also red."
General Zhu Guo and his deputy looked at each other's red dots on each other's foreheads, both of them were in a stalemate and did not dare to make any move.
"General Zhu Guo, this red dot means that my weapon has been aimed at your forehead. As long as I move my finger, your head will be shot through.
I still say the same thing, without an imperial edict, I can protect myself if you attack the city. When the time comes, the sword has no eyes, and it is reasonable for General Zhu to die tragically in Qianzhou.
As long as the imperial decree says, I will open the city gates, personally admit my mistake to General Zhu, and let the people in the city look for the rebels together."
Su Manrong held a high-range sniper rifle and aimed it at the forehead of General Zhu Guo.
Eleven stood side by side with her and aimed at the deputy general.
