Goryeo Xijing, in the royal palace.

King Renzong of Korea, Wang Kai, looked worried and said to Li Ziqian: "Grand Master, what should we do? The Liangshan army is coming!"

Li Ziqian's face was gloomy!
He really didn't expect that Li Yan would decisively withdraw from Yanyun, let alone that after Li Yan withdrew from Yanyun, he would conquer the Liaodong Peninsula and come back from the north!

At this time, Li Ziqian already knew that he was being tricked by Jin Guo.

But he didn't blame Jin Guo.

In fact, he had figured it out.

Therefore, he is not afraid of Jin Guo plotting against him.

If it wasn't for Taifeng's pig teammate with low combat effectiveness who didn't annihilate the first side and let the first side escape into Seoul, Taifeng and Lelang County have already fallen into his hands, Li Ziqian, how can there be today's passivity?

"One wrong step, one wrong step... what should I do now?"

Seeing that Li Ziqian ignored him, Wang Kai couldn't help asking: "Grand Master, what should we do?"

Although Wang Kai was handsome and attractive, and even though Wang Kai was Li Ziqian's grandson and Li Ziqian's son-in-law, Li Ziqian felt annoyed when he saw Wang Kai, especially when he saw the carved dragon chair sitting under Wang Kai.

Therefore, Li Ziqian said impatiently: "I have sent someone to transfer Tuo Junjing back to help, the king should not worry."

Although he could hear the impatience in Li Ziqian's words, Wang Kai still bite the bullet and said, "I heard that our Koryo army is in a decisive battle with the Liangshan army. Will we be able to withdraw smoothly at this time?"

This is exactly what Li Ziqian is most worried about. When two armies confront each other, if one side suddenly retreats, it is likely to cause a total defeat. Not long ago, the Song army was defeated in this way.

It is impossible to let Tuo Junjing withdraw, although there are still five leaders in the city of Xijing to guarantee victory, and seven leaders to be brave, and the surrounding counties can gather more than a dozen leaders to guarantee victory, four to five leaders The army is fine and brave, and a total of 3 to [-] people can be gathered, but how can this small number of people be enough to protect the safety of Xijing City?You know, back then Li Yan captured nearly half of Koryo with only a few tens of thousands of troops, but now he has hundreds of thousands of troops!
Li Ziqian said: "He must be withdrawn, otherwise, our Korea will be finished!"

Wang Kai hesitated and said, "Why don't we surrender to Li Yan?"

Regarding the surrender, Wang Kai actually didn't have much pressure in his heart. Anyway, he was just a puppet King of Korea. Moreover, Li Ziqian wanted to kill him more than once, and then make himself king. Therefore, it is better to surrender to Li Yan, and maybe save his life.

Hearing Wang Kai's talk of surrender, Li Ziqian's face sank immediately, and he scolded: "How could the royal family of Korea have such an unfilial descendant as you, who even wanted to hand over the country and mountains of Korea to others, and you are also worthy to be the king of Korea?"

Wang Kai was submissive and dared not answer.

After Li Ziqian got angry, he walked away.

Wang Kai sighed, and then returned to the harem.

Seeing Wang Kai coming back, Wang Kai's Queen Li Shi and Princess Li Shi, that is Li Ziqian's two stepdaughters, immediately came up to welcome him.

Seeing that Wang Kai was unhappy, Queen Li asked, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Wang Kai's eyes were red, and he said: "Li Yan's army has already reached the Anbei Mansion, and it will not be long before they will attack the city. This king consulted Grand Master Li on how to deal with it, but Grand Master Li is very impatient, woo woo woo..."

Seeing Wang Kai crying, Queen Li and Princess Li felt distressed.

Wang Kai is only 14 years old this year. It is better to say that he is a boy than a man, and Queen Li and Princess Li are both eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls. Therefore, although Wang Kai is the son of Queen Li and Princess Li Husband, but Queen Li and Princess Li regard Wang Kai as their husband, younger brother, and son. This kind of emotion is so complicated that it is difficult to express it in words.

Moreover, although Wang Kai is young, he is versatile, good at music and rhythm, good at calligraphy and painting, loves to read books, and can't put down scrolls.

Let's put it this way, Li Ziqian tried to poison Wang Kai to death several times, but for Queen Li and Princess Li's desperate protection, Wang Kai would have died a long time ago.

Queen Li hugged Wang Kai and said, "Your Majesty, don't cry, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and there will always be a solution."

Wang Kai said: "How to solve it? Grand Master Li insists on going his own way and insists on fighting Li Yan to the end. It is useless to persuade Li Yan, but Li Yan is so easy to fight? Back then, Li Yan only brought tens of thousands of horses and beat us to the ground. It was a big defeat, and at that time our national strength in Koryo was at least three times that of what it is now. Now, our national power in Koryo has declined greatly, and Li Yan has hundreds of thousands of troops, and we have wiped out the Liao Kingdom, the former suzerain of Koryo. And then, how could our Goryeo fight against Li Yan?"

Hearing what Wang Kai said, Queen Li and Princess Li also panicked. If what Wang Kai said was true, then their Koryo would really be doomed.

Wang Kai moved his eyes, then took the hands of Queen Li and Princess Li, and said, "You know the current situation of this king, so I am not afraid of Li Yan's attack, at most I will die, but although I am not afraid of death, But afraid of losing you, Li Yan acted overbearingly. After conquering Kaijing, my four sisters and Li Taishi's two daughters were all taken captive by him. Moreover, as far as I know, my father was The queen did not die in the war, but was also taken captive by Li Yan. It is said that when Li Yan destroyed the Liao Kingdom this time, all the concubines and daughters of the Liao lord, including the queen of the false Liao lord Yeluchun, were all taken captive by Li Yan. go."

Speaking of this, Wang Kai looked at Queen Li and Princess Li, and said sincerely: "You are so beautiful and virtuous, once Xijing City is conquered by Li Yan, how can he not be tempted by you? At that time, this king will definitely lose his heart." You, this is what this king fears the most."

Li Yan's lustful name has long been well-known in Korea. At the beginning, Li Yan took Wang Yu's four daughters and Li Ziqian's two daughters. It is well known in Korea, and even Wang Yu's queen was taken away by Li Yan. , In fact, there are also rumors.

Therefore, Queen Li and Princess Li completely believed what Wang Kai said.

Queen Li said: "The concubine doesn't want to be separated from the king, but... what can we do?"

Seeing that Queen Li did not say that she would die for him at that time, Wang Kai felt dissatisfied.

But now is not the time to worry about these little things.

Therefore, Wang Kai said: "Queen, Wangfei, now only if our family works together to overthrow Grand Master Li and surrender to Li Yan, can we guarantee that our family will never be separated."

"This……"

Although they were well-educated since they were young, Queen Li and Princess Li couldn't grasp the general trend very well. Therefore, they didn't know whether what Wang Kai said, moving to Li Ziqian and then surrendering to Li Yan, was right?

As for the relationship between father and daughter with Li Ziqian, not to mention that they are not Li Ziqian's own, even if they are Li Ziqian's own, it will not affect their standing on Wang Kai's side at this time. Husband, moreover, Wang Kai is so cute, so distressing.

Wang Kai lied to him for a while, and then expressed his reluctance to part with Queen Li and Princess Li. Queen Li and Princess Li finally agreed to send their confidantes out of the palace to help Wang Kai contact loyal ministers who are loyal to the royal family...
