The king will never go to court

Chapter 180 Chapter 179: The Yan People Crossing South
The sky was overcast and dark, only the lights on the top of the city were still flickering. The soldiers of Yan Kingdom hid behind the battlements, hiding their entire bodies in the darkness.

There was an open space around the bonfire and torches.Soldiers have been strictly prohibited from approaching these dangerous places by their respective captains.

"You say, can we really hold Kaijing?" A veteran with bandaged wounds on his head and arms huddled in a dark corner and said softly.

"What else can we do if we don't defend? You didn't see that the big families in the city sent warriors from various families to defend the city today. It's a pity!"

A soldier who had practiced martial arts quietly stuck to the city bricks, calming down his nervous mood.

During the day today, he had saved his life. If the elders of the Misty Sword Sect hadn't blocked the flying arrows, he might have been pierced through the forehead from the side.

"Hopefully it can be defended, but I'm looking forward to it! All the reinforcements from the Qian Kingdom have arrived. But we don't know when our King Qin's army will arrive."

The Qianguo archery divisions could no longer be used as a whole, and only a few sporadic archery divisions still stood firm at the top of the city.

The "Arrow Canopy" didn't do anything either.The last moat under the city of Kaijing was also taken down by the Qian people.

In Kaijing City, a spacious mansion next to the North City Gate.Zhao Lingbai was struggling to deal with transfer orders, then he slapped the table with his right hand and let out a cold snort.

"These cowardly fellows pretend to be the Zhao family! They actually encouraged the emperor to move south! Can they still escape now?"

"Your Highness, now is not the time to get angry. It's time to think of countermeasures." Luo Jiutao glanced at the decree sent from the palace half an hour ago, and handed it to Lu Qiange who was at the side.

At this moment, the defenders of the Yan Kingdom and the major sects in the whole city still don't know the news. "The Emperor Yan is going to move south."

"Everyone is desperately defending Kaijing City, and now they abandon the city and flee, what will the people in the city do? What about Kaijing City, which has accumulated more than half of the wealth of Yan Kingdom?"

Zhao Lingbai clenched his right hand tightly into a fist, and slammed it heavily on the table, letting out a muffled groan!
"Your Highness!"

Luo Jiutao and Lu Qiange shouted at the same time, looking at Zhao Lingbai nervously.

"It's okay, just recuperate." Zhao Lingbai picked up the half-sprinkled ginseng tea from the table, and drank it slowly, with a little blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

After Zhao Lingbai drank half a cup of ginseng tea, he slowly sat down on the armchair behind him, put his hands on the armrests, looked up at the roof, and a look of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

"What should I do next? What does Tianji Pavilion say?" Zhao Lingbai really couldn't think of a solution, so he could only ask for help from the two people in the lobby, his confidants.

The two sat on the left and right sides, and their faces were dignified. The Tianji Pavilion does not participate in worldly affairs, but only sends disciples in the pavilion to assist the princes, but they will never devote all their resources.

"We also went to ask the Pavilion Master, but we were not summoned." Luo Jiutao was also very puzzled. They Tianji Pavilion has always opened the capital in the Yan Kingdom. Is it true that they really want to watch the Kaijing be captured by the Qian people?
"Hey!" Zhao Lingbai's hopeful eyes gradually dimmed, "There is really no other way, we can only move south. I have tried my best."

Lu Qiange took a special look at the private, then got up and walked slowly to the table, leaned over to Zhao Lingbai and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you ask that Mr. Qin again. It's really not possible. During the process of His Highness moving south, there was someone close protection."

Zhao Lingbai propped his chin up with both hands, pondering for a moment.

Previously, he had promised Mr. Qin that he would defend Kaijing City, but now only a few days later, he was about to withdraw to the south.

If a request for help is made, I am afraid it will be rejected.

It is even possible that Mr. Qin would walk away and ignore them.

"Right now, the major sects of Qian Kingdom are surprisingly united. They have attacked the city gate today. If we don't make a decision tonight, I'm afraid the north gate will fall tomorrow." Luo Jiutao also had a worried look on his face. The art of deduction is constantly running.

If he moved to the south, he must now deduce the best escape route, so as not to be blocked by Qian Guo's cavalry.

"It seems that I can only ask for it again. I hope it can be good news."

Zhao Lingbai made up his mind that once Kaijing was lost, his promise would be considered a failure, but he might not know where to find what Young Master Qin wanted.

The bait of Kaijing cannot be lost, but now the bait is about to be lost.Although it was Zhao Lingbai who slipped his words first, he had no other choice at this time.

The night outside the hall was even more suffocating, everything was extremely silent, and everyone was shrouded in the shadow of death.

Although the elders and disciples of the major sects of the Yan Kingdom stayed in the capital, although they still insisted on staying at the top of the city, many of them already had the idea of ​​retreating.

Zhao Lingbai also deeply felt that apart from defending the city on the first day, everyone was still working hard, and during the following period, especially the arrival of the reinforcements from the Qian Kingdom.No matter how much he coerced and lured him, there was nothing he could do.

"All right, I'll go now!" Zhao Lingbai stood up, glanced into the night, walked out of the mansion quickly, got into a carriage, and headed towards the palace under the protection of a large number of followers.

In the palace, Yan Guo's face was still pale, and his body became thinner and thinner due to the pain.

In the outer hall are several princes and princes, all of whom are relatives of the Zhao clan, and they all came to persuade His Majesty the Emperor to move south.

"Your Majesty, I really can't wait any longer. If I don't leave, it will be too late!" A younger member of Zhao's royal family knelt in front of the screen outside the curtain, weeping and shouting.

Kneeling behind him were more than a dozen members of the royal family, all of whom kowtowed their heads extremely low.

On the other side, there were four people standing quietly, all of whom were the heirs of Emperor Yan. They had been serving on the side for the past few days, for fear that there would be any mistakes with Emperor Yan.

Outside the hall, there are sword immortals in white robes and sword gods in plain robes and linen clothes. They are always guarding outside Yanhuang's sleeping hall to protect the safety of everyone.

In the side hall, Mr. Qin, dressed in black brocade, is carefully looking at the precious grass in front of him. Although the quality is good, it still lacks the age, and the vitality of the world contained in it is still insufficient.

In the past few days, Young Master Qin did not appear in Beichengtou, but in the palace.

Zhao Lingbai arranged him here, on the one hand, to allow him to choose rare grasses and all kinds of natural and earth treasures at will, and on the other hand, to give Emperor Yan an extra layer of security.

"What's the matter, Kaijing can't be defended anymore?" Mr. Qin slowly opened his eyes after absorbing more than a dozen rare grasses that had grown for decades.

Zhao Lingbai stood respectfully at the door of the side hall, and his voice was also very sincere, "I'm here today, I think the young master already knows the purpose of coming."

"The power of the country is great. We have suffered huge losses in the past few days. Now the voice of moving to the central and south is very high. I don't know if there is any way for you to teach me."

"Moving to the south? How about the resources in the south of your country of Yan?"

The resources that Mr. Qin mentioned refer to rare grasses and natural treasures. Now the situation in the mountains, rivers and forests is unclear. He can only use external resources to continuously improve his strength.

Devouring these low-level precious grasses and all kinds of natural and earthly treasures is his only way now.
