The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 1956 Chaos
"For the current plan, abandoning the city and fighting the Qin army in the field may have a chance of survival, and the city will be trapped..." Li Mu sighed: "The morale of our army is already low, and it will be even more difficult after the Taoist tower is blown up." gone."

After saying this, Li Mu lowered his voice: "I heard that the palace is in trouble, and the queen has arranged for someone to escort the prince to leave Yingdu quietly. Maybe everyone thinks that His Majesty is not here, and Yingdu can't bear it..."

"The prince is gone?" Wang Xuance was shocked when he heard this, no less than knowing that the Qin army was digging the ground to bury gunpowder.

"Everyone thinks that if the army is really defeated, His Majesty will have to leave a heir." Tian Dan said, "Think about it, when Qin destroyed Han, all the people with the surname Liu in the vicinity of Gaotang City, They were all killed, and if Liu Chan hadn't surrendered to Qin State early, the Liu clan would probably have been exterminated in the world."

"It's just that the crown prince is the crown prince after all!" Wang Xuance gritted his teeth and said, "How could it be like this before the national calamity? I'm going to meet the queen. How could I do such a thing at this time? How do you and I suppress it?"

The three hurriedly stopped Wang Xuance: "No! It must be very dangerous for you to go to see the queen at this time. Why don't you go and see Chen Ping. This man is very resourceful. He has been silent since he came back from the south. I'll go ahead." If you visit, you may not be able to invite him to sit in town."

Wang Xuance thought about it for a moment, felt that his words were reasonable, and said, "That's very good, you and I will visit this person."

At that moment, all the soldiers prepared their horses, and went straight to the outside of Chen Ping's mansion. After the soldiers came forward to explain their intentions, a retainer came out to greet him, bowed his hands and said, "My lords, my lord, go to Lord Xiao's mansion. gone."

"Lord Xiao?" Zhao Kuo was puzzled.

The retainer said: "It is Lord Xiao He's mansion, and the servant can guide the way for several adults."

"Thank you!" Wang Xuance cupped his hands slightly.

The retainer hurriedly said, "Don't dare."

On the way, Zhao Kuo couldn't help asking: "Your master went to see Mr. Xiao, but to discuss the defense of the city?"

"I heard that Mr. Xiao is seriously ill, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive."

Hearing this, several people also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Qin State is about to break down the city, if Xiao He dies...

In a short while, several people arrived outside Xiao He's mansion, and before they walked in, they heard the whining sound coming from the mansion.

Chen Ping's retainers rode their horses and galloped away, shouting: "I'm afraid the boss has gone."

A few people reined in their horses, and Wang Xuance said slowly, "Since we've already arrived, let's go in there to express our condolences together, it can be regarded as a little bit of affection for me as an official in the court."

At that moment, everyone drove their horses to the gate of the mansion, the servants saw that it was Wang Xuance and others who came, and as they came forward to lead the horses, someone went in to report.

Everyone stayed outside the gate for a cup of tea, when a middle-aged man with red eyes came out, cupped his hands and said: "Xiao Lu pays homage to all your lords."

Xiao Lu is the eldest son of Xiao He.

"I came here to find Mr. Chen, and I never expected to encounter such a sad thing. Mr. Xiao is old, so it can be regarded as a happy funeral, and my son's condolences will be changed." Wang Xuance returned the gift, and the other three returned the gift one after another.

"The marshal said it in time, please come into the humble house."

After entering, the stewards of Xiao He's mansion gathered the slaves and servants together, and they were preparing for the funeral. After everyone paid homage to Xiao He, Xiao Lu led them to a side courtyard and stood at the entrance of the courtyard. :
"A certain family knows what happened to the generals. Mr. Chen and my late father had a very close relationship. I should have spoken for the generals, but the more people around Mr. Chen spoke, the less he would pay attention."

"Thank you son for leading the way." Wang Xuance seemed displeased, but he didn't want to explode, so he just clasped his fists slightly.

Xiao Lu also took advantage of the situation to retreat.

Since when they entered the courtyard, Chen Ping's retainer who led the way had already stood in the courtyard and waited for everyone. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he cupped his hands and said: "Masters, my master is waiting in the house."

After everyone went in, they saw Chen Mai serving on one side. Chen Ping was wearing plain white long clothes and standing under the west window, facing this kind of person with his hands behind his back.

"What are you waiting for here, the old man already knows all about it, and the only plan for now is to surrender."

The four of them gasped one after another, and all eight eyes fell on Chen Ping.

Chen Ping turned his head and looked at several people: "When I was in the Han Kingdom and held great power, I was forced to be helpless by Zhou Yu's Jiaodong army, so I had to go to the Chu Kingdom. How similar is Han?"

"A grown-up eats the king's salary, but he says he will surrender. It's shameless!" Zhao Kuo was young and energetic, so he naturally sneered.

"My son must not be rude!" Li Mu said hastily.

Zhao Kuo snorted coldly and remained silent. Chen Mai seemed a little angry, but he didn't dare to explode.

Wang Xuance waved his hand, Zhao Kuo and Li Mu both took a few steps back, he stepped forward and said, "My lord, is there really no other way?"

"What do you think can stop Qin's gunpowder?" Chen Ping turned around, his gray hair fluttering in the autumn evening wind.

It was only then that Wang Xuance realized that Chen Ping in front of him was already an old man with white hair and chicken skin.

"Excuse me!" Wang Xuance cupped his hands and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

When Wang Xuance walked to the door of the room, Chen Ping suddenly said loudly: "The millions of souls in the city all depend on the general's words."

Wang Xuance paused for a moment, hesitated for a full three breaths, then turned around and bowed deeply.

After leaving Xiao He's mansion, Zhao Kuo couldn't help cursing loudly.

Li Mu said angrily, "Shut up, Shuzi!"

Zhao Kuo was taken aback and dared not speak again.

"Report——Xiangguo suddenly suffered from a serious illness, and abscesses developed on his back. Several generals, villains are looking for you all over the city." A thin pale-faced scribe ran over from the street on horseback, and said in a hurry , couldn't help but look sideways at Xiao He's mansion, and he naturally heard the cries from Li Bian.

"Master Xiao He has passed away, let's go." Wang Xuance felt very complicated.

This thin scribe was the steward of Fan Zeng's mansion, and he said as he walked, "Everything is fine with my lord, but when I heard that the right minister is in Xinye, I was in a hurry, and that's why I was so anxious. What if my lord said something later If there is something wrong, I ask the generals to forgive me."

"Don't worry." Wang Xuance was still thinking about what Chen Ping said. There were more than a million lives in the city, and there were at least 150 million to 200 million ordinary people living in Yingdu City.

The bustling city of Yingdu!

Wang Xuance looked up at the setting sun, and unintuitively, tears fell from his eyes.

Prime Minister.

Fan Zeng was leaning on the slump, and there was no sign of life on his face. The four of them, Wang Xuance, knelt in the hall, listening to Fan Zeng's words very quietly.
