King Leng pursues his wife, but abandons his concubine

Chapter 397: Premonition of War (7)
"General! You..."

A soldier behind Duanmu Rui took a step forward in confusion, feeling a little agitated.

"You don't need to say much, I have already made a decision. This battle not only means that the soldiers need to pay the price of blood and lives, but also means that the innocent people in the entire Ziyang River will also suffer from the war and lose their lives. Life! Let it be like this, this is the best. After all... the reinforcement army we have been waiting for has, will not come."

With a look of exhaustion in his eyes, Duanmu Rui said.

"..."

The soldier was silent. Although he had already anticipated the decision of the court to some extent, when all this was truly placed in front of him, the bloody, cruel and icy breath invaded him in an instant. His heart gave him a bone-chilling chill...

The imperial court actually forced them to this point!
"General, this subordinate swears to follow you to the death!"

When he realized the seriousness of the matter, he immediately knelt down on the ground, solemnly raised half of his palm, and swore with firm eyes.

"The subordinates are also willing to follow to the death!"

The other soldiers guarding the city followed suit, all kneeling on the ground, shouting loudly and unanimously.

"My lord, open the city gate. I'm just a girl, and I don't care what the future holds or what happens, but I only hope that at this moment, we can safely get through this difficult time in front of us."

Mrs. Duanmu spoke softly, inexplicably making everyone feel a sense of warmth, diluting some of the coldness and despair brought to them by the indifference and ruthlessness of the Zichen Kingdom court.

Yes, even if the imperial court of Zichen Kingdom abandoned them, General Duanmu would definitely not abandon them!
"Ah."

Duanmu Rui nodded, turned his head and said to the many soldiers who were kneeling on the ground: "Everyone, get up quickly! In my heart, you are actually good sons and good brothers who followed me to fight on the battlefield and defend the country! I am Duanmu Rui. Here I swear to God, as long as I, Duanmu Rui, are here in this world for a while, I will definitely protect you and prevent you from being wronged or bullied!"

This is a statement, but also a promise, a promise that makes everyone feel at ease.

Leng Yuechen and Lian Chengyu, who were waiting at the gate of Ziyangchuan City, and so many soldiers behind them, heard the words above the city gate, and there was no one who did not admire Duanmu Rui, and Duanmu Rui was indeed worthy of getting such an honor behind him. Loyalty and swearing-in of many people!

Not long after, there was a muffled sound from the heavy city gate. Leng Yuechen and Lian Chengyu looked up together, watching Duanmu Rui walking out in a dignified and dignified body, followed by a handsome Yan Li with a A young woman in a seven-point sickness, and the guarding soldiers behind.

"General Duanmu, I admire you for making such a decision."

Leng Yuechen turned over from the horse's back, looked at Duanmu Rui and said.

"You don't need to comfort me. Lord Leng should know that what I did was a helpless act, and it was to protect all the innocent people in Ziyangchuan City."

Duanmu Rui waved his hand and replied, his upright face was full of haggard fatigue...

If there are other choices, who would do such a thing, which is obviously a betrayal of the country? !I'm afraid that after his death, Zichen Kingdom's annals will only record him the infamy of a "traitor"? !

Whichever is lesser, even if he is very aware of the consequences, but for the sake of the innocent people in Ziyangchuan City, he has to bear the infamy.

A war of devastated lives was resolved in an instant, without a single casualty...

However, there is no such person as General Duanmu in this world anymore.

Inside the palace of Zichen Kingdom.

"Report!"

A spy's voice sounded outside the imperial dining room, and the slightly old-fashioned emperor inside closed the memorial in his hand, threw it aside impatiently, frowned, and said, "Come in."

"What happened?! Why are you so panicked?!"

"Reporting to the emperor, General Duanmu, he...he..."

The spy dressed in black lowered his head fiercely, he didn't even dare to look up at the emperor, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence.

"died?"

The man in the bright yellow dragon robe raised his eyebrows and spoke lightly.

On the other side of Ziyangchuan, three days ago, several groups of soldiers had been sent to the palace to ask for reinforcements, but how could he really send reinforcements to rescue them? !

Duanmurui has made many meritorious deeds in the past few years, and his reputation among the people of Zichen Kingdom is even higher than that of his emperor. It is not easy to find any reason to weaken the power of the soldiers under him, and he has long been far out of his control as the king of a country, but he just took him There is no way!

But this time Lord Leng of the Moon Kingdom personally led troops to attack the Zichen Kingdom, and the first to bear the brunt was the Ziyang River guarded by Duanmu Rui.

He still knows how many soldiers are left in the city of Ziyangchuan, so he happened to use Lord Leng's knife to get rid of Duanmu Rui and his future troubles this year!
It's just a pity that those people in Ziyangchuan City were also buried with them...

Of course, on the surface, he still agreed to the soldiers who came to ask for reinforcements, let them go back to make Duanmu Rui feel at ease, and promised that he would definitely send troops to Ziyangchuan immediately for rescue.

But no one knew that on the way back, those soldiers were killed without anyone noticing, and they didn't even have the life to go back to Ziyangchuan to convey the emperor's promise...

Since ancient times, the most indispensable thing for every emperor is a ruthless heart.

Only by being ruthless can a whole huge country be governed well!
"No, General Duanmu is not dead. It's just...just..."

A lot of cold sweat suddenly flowed from the spy's forehead, trembling all over, but he didn't dare to say the words stuck in his throat.

"Just what?! Hemming and hawing, what do you want to say?!"

The emperor patted the dragon chair under him, and there was a loud voice in the imperial dining room that made people tremble unconsciously.

"It's just that General Duanmu brought all the soldiers and people in Ziyangchuan City to surrender to Yue Kingdom!"

After closing his eyes and finishing speaking, the spy laid his whole body on the cold ground, trembling violently, and didn't dare to say another word.

"Snapped!"

The louder and more shocking voice continued to sound, and the temperature in the entire imperial dining room also dropped several degrees, making people wonder if they had come to some kind of iceberg.

"Duanmu Rui, he dared to betray me!"

The emperor's face instantly turned ferocious, and there was nowhere to vent his anger. He could only wave all the memorials that were neatly stacked on the desk to the ground, and some even hit the kneeling man on the ground. On the back of the spy!
"Okay! Very good! Duanmu Rui, originally I was worried that I couldn't find a suitable reason to kill you in one fell swoop, but now you have given me a reason to kill you!"

The flickering light and shadow outside the desk in the imperial dining room illuminated his originally handsome but now ferocious and vicious face, making him shroud in a dark yellow light...

The spy, who was lying on the cold ground with his whole body, his fingers in the prone position were stiff, and his invisible face was stained with more and more panic!The body trembled even more violently!

"Did you hear something just now?"

The emperor raised his eyes to the man lying on the ground, and said with a half-smile, his right hand was still rubbing the ground white jade glass finger on the thumb of his left hand repeatedly, his voice was soft, as if it was as gentle as usual, but But for no reason, the spy felt a cold and bone-piercing breath of death!

"Slaves...slaves didn't hear anything!"

The whole body was shaking like chaff, and the spy immediately stated that he knew nothing and heard nothing.

It's just... Obviously, even if he made such a promise and stated his position like this, he still couldn't stop the arrival of the god of death.

In the next second, the spy didn't even have time to raise his eyes, and a sharp dagger that shone with icy cold light pierced straight to his heart!
The stiff corpse fell on the cold floor of the imperial dining room.

But the emperor sitting on the dragon chair didn't even blink his eyes, and said lightly: "Let's deal with it."

As soon as the voice fell, a hidden guard came out from the shadow of a corner of the imperial dining room, picked up the fallen corpse in one hand, and jumped out of the imperial dining room.

If it wasn't for the small pool of bright red blood remaining on the ground and the faint smell of blood flowing in the air, then everything would have seemed as if it had never happened...

When the secret guard who had just gone out to "dispose" the corpse came back, the emperor ordered again: "Go to Li Shangshu, and say that I ordered him to immediately draw up a notice on the arrest of Duanmu Rui, and post it on everyone in Zichen Kingdom. A corner."

"Yes."

The dark guard nodded, and then disappeared again.

Duanmu Rui, so what if you surrendered to Yue Kingdom, I still have a way to capture you, and you will be executed on the spot!
In a courtyard with a quiet environment, a handsome man dressed in green bamboo leaves stood in front of a plum tree full of buds, stretched out his hand and pulled a branch with many buds, took a breath, closed his eyes, and It was as if he smelled the smell of that person in his memory, and that person was right in front of his eyes...

"My lord, you are right. The emperor has already killed the spy who came to report, and now he has sent a secret guard to find Li Shangshu to draw up a notice to arrest Duanmurui."

A man dressed as a guard came over, cupped his fists and reported the news to the man.

"From this point of view, Duanmu Rui has indeed chosen to submit to the Yue Kingdom. From now on, we will continue to stand still as usual. We will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight until they are both defeated, and then rush out. , won the throne in one fell swoop!"
