witch chaotic country

Chapter 741 Descends
King Pengcheng didn't expect that when all his relatives and his favorite Jiuxi left him, his imperial sister would come to help him with a life-saving edict!
He's been living for the past few days.He took the whole palace as a hostage, so he naturally became the enemy of the whole palace.

He was afraid of being poisoned when he ate, set on fire when he went to the toilet, and assassinated when he slept.In the huge imperial palace, no one sincerely protects him!Everyone seemed to be behind him, looking at him with vicious eyes, hoping for his death!

He also didn't believe that anyone, even the guards of the imperial army, could only wait outside the hall, and no one could enter the hall without an edict.

King Pengcheng couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep, but within five days, his spirit was on the verge of collapse.

The appearance of Huang Jie is like a life-saving straw!Finally someone is willing to give him a hand!

But having said that, Brother Liu Xing actually didn't expect that he would enter the palace to "rescue him".

If the people from Xingzhelou hadn't secretly captured her only son and given her this false edict, she would have been hiding in the princess mansion without even showing her head.After all, no matter which younger brother is the emperor, she is still the eldest princess.

Brother Liu Xing was worried at first that he had deceived King Pengcheng in this way, and later Liu Yiji would accuse her of falsely preaching the imperial decree, and she would not be able to tell even if she had a mouth all over her body.

But the people from the Walker House assured her that Liu Yiji's private seal was stamped on the inside of the edict.It was Liu Yiji who agreed to keep King Pengcheng alive.

In the words of Venerable Cangwu, the reason why King Pengcheng chose to go all the way was because he thought he had no other choice.As long as there is still a way to survive, with his character of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, he will not prefer death to surrender.

Brother Liu Xing thought of his son's safety, and didn't care whether King Pengcheng believed it or not, so he pressed the fake imperial decree into King Pengcheng's hands, and said hoarsely: "Fourth brother! What are you still thinking?! Could it be that you feel that you have beaten me?" Can you beat Tan Daoji?! Or do you think that if the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty are killed, the Wang and Xie families will not be able to find someone to take their place?"

Brother Liu Xing firmly held King Pengcheng's hand, "If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your only son. Could it be that you think that he will be better off if you die? You should give it to him anyway. Stay alive!"

King Pengcheng shook his hands, looked at the imperial decree clenched between his fingers, then raised his eyes to look at the imperial sister, and at the civil and military officers of the Manchu Dynasty who were detained here.

These people don't agree with me at all, so it wouldn't be a pity to drag them to be buried with them!
But Miss Huang was right, even if everyone in the entire hall died, it still couldn't stop Liu Yiji from ascending the throne.I only feel sorry for his son, who has no father or mother, and I'm afraid he won't be able to live at such a young age.

"You are not usurping the throne." Brother Liu Xing saw that King Pengcheng's expression was shaken, and he hurriedly hit the railroad while it was hot, "Don't forget, you chose to ascend the throne after accepting the throne of the little prince when no one found the last emperor's edict. Now The late emperor's edict has been found, as long as you follow the edict and serve the seventh younger brother as the master, you are not usurping the throne at all, you are innocent!"

Hearing what Liu Xingdi said, the King of Pengcheng took him as a courtier and monopolized the government, and forgot all about the tortured death of the former emperor, and repeated like a self-deception: "Yes! I didn't usurp the throne! I just don't know ! Those who do not know are not guilty!"

He grasped the imperial edict in his hand, "I don't need this imperial edict. Since the imperial sister gave it to me, I want to leave it to the emperor in exchange for my emperor's life! As long as the seventh brother saves the emperor's life, I am willing to abdicate!"

Who would have imagined that the tragedy in the palace that would have involved the death of many courtiers in vain would be resolved by a false edict.

In the afternoon of that day, the imperial palace opened the gate and sent a messenger to send news of the abdication to Stone City.

When Liu Yiji received the news, he still couldn't believe it.After confirming it several times, I was overjoyed.

When he learned that King Pengcheng had taken his courtiers as hostages, Liu Yiji lost his mind.He can't take the throne alone without a courtier, right?Wouldn't that really be a lonely family!

At that time, Venerable Cangwu comforted him, saying that there is a solution to this matter.As long as you wait a few days, and then ask Elder Sister Huang to come forward, the matter can be properly resolved.

Although it is not so honorable to detain a nephew who is older than himself, it can be regarded as a great merit to resolve a knife attack.

Liu Yiji took the news and went to Venerable Cangwu, wanting to thank him in person.However, he saw that several walkers were already standing in Venerable Cangwu's room, including Tan Daoji, all of them frowning.

Liu Yiji panicked, "But what happened?"

Seeing that it was Liu Yiji, Venerable Cangwu did not hide it, and said bluntly: "We have not received any news from Qiu Chi on this journey, which is really unusual. Just now General Tan got the news from the defenders of Stone City. Send troops to attack Qiu Chi."

Liu Yiji's eyes widened, "Your Honor is saying that Qiu Chi is now at war with the Northern Wei Dynasty?! How is this possible? The Northern Wei Dynasty sent troops, and even if the news from various places is slower, it is impossible to be unaware of it!"

"Unless someone deliberately concealed it, or the news itself was false, in order to disperse our troops." Tan Daoji said.

Venerable Cangwu nodded in agreement, "In any case, this matter needs proof."

Liu Yiji hurriedly took out the news he had just received, "Pengcheng King has surrendered, and he is willing to give way!"

Such great good news did not make any waves to the ears of the people in this room, as if it was taken for granted.

"In this case," Venerable Cangwu thought for a while and said, "I, together with General Tan, will continue to escort the Seventh Prince to Jiankang to ensure that everything is safe. The rest of the walkers have stopped since then and returned to Qiuchi for safety. General Tan thinks so How are you?"

From Venerable Cangwu's decision, it is not difficult to see that although he had some doubts about the news, he was unwilling to risk Qiu Chi and Yao Yu.

Although Tan Daoji was worried about his daughter, he was not sure whether the news was true or not, and because Jiankang was right in front of him, he and Wang Hua were indispensable for escorting the Seventh Prince to the throne.

The two of them have one civil and one martial arts, one poor family and one clan, only if both of them try their best to protect the Seventh Prince, then the enthronement won't be complicated.

Tan Daoji cupped his fists towards the walkers and said, "I will entrust you all, my little girl! After I escort the Seventh Prince to Beijing safely, I will go to Qiuchi immediately."

All the pedestrians returned the salute and said one after another: "General Tan, don't worry, it is also our duty to protect the landlord."

So the southward army was divided into two groups in Stone City, and several walkers led a thousand Qingqi back to Qiuchi, while Liu Yiji and others did not hesitate at all, and directly set off for Jiankang.

At this time, Qiuchi had been besieged by the Wei army for five days.

When I got up early, it was windy and windy, and the dark clouds were overwhelming, making people breathless.

The spies came to report that the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty would arrive at Qiuchi tomorrow morning at the latest. By then, it might not be as simple as a vanguard general calling the battle. The real battle is just around the corner.

Cui Yong, Zimo, Yao Zheng discussed with several walkers who were still in Qiuchi for several nights, while Du Wenze and others checked the city defense weapons several times a day.The atmosphere was so tense that it was far more depressing than the bad weather.

Since Tan Yaoyu woke up and ran away last time, Yingfeng never left Yaoyu's room again.

According to what Yun Daosheng said, Yao Yu was unable to calm down the anger in his heart, which caused his true energy to keep losing control.And the only way to calm the anger is to arouse the compassion of Yao Yu.
