Concubine Lie beware: the emperor is too ferocious

Chapter 8 The Crucial Chip!
"That depends on whether the monarch wants Juliang City or General Liu!"

It is expected that Liu Tao will become a crucial bargaining chip in the hands of Nan Zhaoguo. If he wants to return General Liu, he will not only have to surrender the letter, but also give up the jurisdiction of Juliang City, and even pay a large sum of money. money.

If the monarch chooses Juliang City, then Liu Tao will definitely die. As long as Liu Tao dies, those people in the court who have been overshadowed by him will have a chance to stand out, which is not a bad thing.

Now that the battle is over, the deputy commander Peng Gan decided to return to the court in three days.

There was a battle report in advance and it was quickly sent back to Xiao Qingming, the king of the Ziye Kingdom. When he learned that the Ziye army was defeated without a fight and that General Liu was captured alive by Nangong Muyan, Long Yan was furious.

"May your majesty calm down!" Guo Qi, the official who delivered the letter, begged on his knees, "it is completely reasonable for General Liu to miss this time. Your majesty does not know that the Lord Nanzhao is really very powerful!"

Xiao Qingming knew the Nangong family well, and knew that they had always been good at heretics. If it weren't for the Qilin Talisman, how powerful would Nangong Muyan be?

"How is the war going?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the entire army of the Nanzhao Kingdom returned to the court that day!"

"Oh?" The anger I didn't see was true anger, Xiao Qingming just let out a oh, what he thought in his heart was, hum!Nangong Muyan was afraid that he had miscalculated, thinking that he would surrender to him just because he lost a general?I'm afraid it's just a dream!
Without Liu Tao, he still has Wang Tao and Li Tao. I don't believe that Ziye Kingdom, which is full of talents, can't find a good general.

Furthermore, Liu Tao's military exploits over the years are too outstanding. He has gathered a large number of loyal generals under his command, and two-thirds of Ziye's military power is in his hands. These are all things that keep Xiao Qingming awake at night. reason.

In front of all civil and military officials, he said that he wanted to marry Liu Tao's daughter as his queen, but it was just a temporary measure to appease him.

Now he can use this reason to overthrow all of Liu Tao's henchmen and regain the military power, wouldn't it be wonderful!
"Your Majesty, Nanzhao Kingdom must take General Liu as a hostage to negotiate peace with Ziye Kingdom. Do you think you want to exchange General Liu with Juliang City?"

Guo Qi is an upright person, and he usually has some friendship with General Liu, and now he speaks from the overall situation, he thinks that even ten Juliang cities can't match against one good general, Liu Tao.

"No hurry, just wait and see!" Xiao Qingming's attitude was to wait and see what happened, and it would not be too late to wait for the envoy of Nanzhao Kingdom to come to worship before making a decision.

…… Yun-qi-shu-yuan……

The Nanzhao army marched for one day and set up camp at the bank of Luying Lake at the foot of Dayan Mountain that night.

The forest sea is surging, the breeze is blowing, the brilliant starlight falls on the deep lake water, and the torches complement each other. This scene is as beautiful as an ink painting scroll.

Liu Yunjin had no intention of admiring the scenery, because her ears were filled with the laughter of the soldiers of Nanzhao Kingdom. They reveled around the bonfire, clinking glasses and drinking, and gorging on roasted venison.

It was a scene of victory, which hurt her eyes, and the more hilarious it was, the more desolate she felt inside.

She was tied next to the campfire, the most conspicuous place, although Nangong Muyan gave her the infinite honor of being a guest, but in her opinion, it was undoubtedly another kind of silent torture.

The other end of the bonfire was facing Nangong Muyan. The firelight reflected his chiseled face, his long hair like silk, and his black robe. Two balls of flame danced in his deep phoenix eyes.

He always had a confident and calm smile on his face, and an air of supremacy revealed between his high brows, looking up to the world, as if everything should be subdued under his feet.

Nangong Muyan was holding a golden wine bottle in his hand, and was toasting with several generals sitting down, only his eyes lingered on Liu Yunjin's face through the flames from time to time...
