The night's artillery bombardment blasted Zhou Kang, Lu Guohua and others into a nervous breakdown, plus a frightened heart.

If this cannon had been fired at the city wall, the city would have been broken long ago, and the army under the city would have been killed long ago, and they would have been dead a long time ago. At this time, no one thought that the army of the imperial court was marching in a hurry, and it was necessary to take advantage of their unstable foothold, to take advantage of their fatigue, and to go out of the city and crush with one blow.

All the rebels could think of was that they were short to live.

After Zhou Kang came down from the city wall, he sat for a long time, listening to the constantly roaring cannons outside, and his mouth was full of bitterness.

In front of him, there was a room of "civil and military officials", but all of them were as colored as earth, and many people were thinking about how to sneak out of the city to surrender to Zhou Heng.

It's good that your brothers are vying for the position, don't hurt the pond fish, they are just careless, standing on the wrong team, give them a chance to mend their ways.

What they gambled on was that Zhou Heng would give them a light punishment for the sake of a Ming Jun's virtuous name, no matter how reluctant he was.

The most important thing at the moment is to save their lives first, and then talk about everything else, maybe Zhou Heng and Zhou Kang are as easy to fool, if they are lucky, maybe they can not only save their lives, but also take this opportunity to become courtiers.

With a word from the emperor, it is possible to even be promoted to three levels, or even ten levels.

Lu Guohua is also very depressed, he has only been the first assistant for one day, is this going to be gone?

The light gradually came in through the window, and the lights in the room gradually dimmed, and the day dawned. Presumably, the cannons under the city are also aimed at the city wall, right? Zhou Kang hindered his scalp and said, "What is the plan of Zhongqing?" ”

His voice was dry, hoarse, and unpleasant.

A room full of people looked at each other. At this moment, what other strategies can be made? It's better to disguise yourself and mix among the people to see if you can escape this catastrophe.

Zhou Kang asked the second time with difficulty.

No one answered.

I asked a third time, but there was still no answer.

The light in his eyes became more and more dim, and these days he persuaded him to ascend the throne as emperor, saying that he was the one who was destined to belong, and now he shrunk his neck as if he did not exist.

Zhou Kang slapped the table angrily and shouted: "Say, what should I do? If you don't say it. I have slaughtered you. ”

The crowd was shocked. A few people jumped up in silence.

"The elder of the pavilion is eight buckets high, and he asked the elder of the pavilion to come up with an idea first and withdraw from the imperial army." A dogleg begged in a voice worse than crying. If he hadn't escaped from Yiyang Yamen in disguise and was slaughtered by Zhou Kang, how unjust would it be.

Everyone in the room was alerted. Hurriedly begged: "Lu Ge, come up with an idea." ”

If you don't have an idea, old man. The king of Chu is about to kill.

Lu Guohua was silent for a long time. With a long sigh, he lifted his robe and knelt down.

The crowd was shocked. Standing up together, the one who spoke earlier lost his voice and said, "What does Elder Ge mean by this?" ”

With your degree of favor in front of the King of Chu, even if he kills us all, it won't be your turn, right? Why are you afraid of being like this? Thinking that even Lu Guohua was afraid of death, it seemed that the idea of fleeing into Minxiang in disguise was not shameful.

Lu Guohua ignored him, kowtowed three times to Zhou Kang, raised his head, his face was full of tears, and said: "The old minister didn't expect the court to have a cannon in his hand, but he didn't expect that we would be defeated, and asked the emperor to deal with the old minister heavily." ”

Zhou Kang was silent. He has lived in the palace since he was a child, and no matter how he is not treated by Wenzong, he is so close to the center, and he always knows that the imperial court has cannons. It's just that these cannons haven't hit the enemy yet, and they blew up their own people first. Such cannons, everyone is only used as decorations, piled up in warehouses and too much space, who would have thought that one day they would be placed in front of the battle, so that the enemy will be terrified?

"Lu Qing, please get up." Zhou Kang left his seat to help Lu Guohua get up, and said, "Little Si's luck is too good. ”

Even cannons that can't be used can be used freely, and if you have divine help, isn't it too good?

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard it, since the king of Chu said that the emperor was too lucky, that is, his luck was too bad, and it was a matter of luck, not their business.

"Exactly, Your Majesty, uh, Zhou Heng's luck is really good." One person hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty is wise, Zhou Heng's luck is really good. The emperor's luck is not good......" the other continued.

"Your Majesty ......," another person followed closely.

Lu Guohua listened to the buzz of the room, and burst out irrepressibly: "Since the emperor is unlucky, now the plan will be released?" ”

“……”

The noise of the room abruptly stopped.

Lu Guohua said: "Please ask the emperor to step back from the left and right." ”

Zhou Kang nodded.

Lu Guohua began to drive people away: "You all go and wait outside." ”

When everyone heard this, they were like Meng Dahe, holding their heads and running away. That's enough, they really don't want to wade into this muddy water. Following Zhou Kang over the years, the silver that he borrowed from Zhou Kang's name was enough for them to live for a while, if they could get out of the camp and switch to Zhou Heng's camp, it would be enough to use the silver to drill the camp and be promoted.

can't blame these people for being snobbish, Zhou Kang doesn't know people, he doesn't refuse anyone who votes for him, and he is complacent, thinking that he is loved by others. In fact, most of the people who go to camp to find a way are not satisfied with a bucket of water, and half a bucket of water is swaying. In this era, the real talent is very arrogant, disdainful of coming to the door to sell himself to an idle prince, the prince has a thirst for talent, and the state of looking at the thatched house, the master does not necessarily deign to serve the master.

Zhou Kang has neither the wisdom of knowing people, nor the desire to seek talents, and the "talents" he can collect are really limited. In the Taiping era, anyone who was literate and literate would go through the imperial examination to enter the office, and that was the serious future.

Lu Guohua closed the door, walked to Zhou Kang and knelt down again, and said, "I beg the emperor to listen to the old minister......

Before he finished speaking, the cannon outside rang out again, and the dust on the roof poured down, choking Zhou Kang coughing. I can't live this day.

Lu Guohua didn't care about what to say, got up and ran out to ask about the situation.

The cannons under the city still fired at the sky, but the cannons moved closer to ten feet, and were protected by shields and archers outside the cannons.

It's good that you didn't fire at the walls. Lu Guohua wiped his sweat and asked, "Where is the messenger sent?" ”

There are no people in the city who raise his head to demonstrate, right?

The one who replied was not clear, and he couldn't answer. Lu Guohua shouted: "Why don't you send someone to take a look?" What are you doing standing here! ”

If you really pick someone's head, you'll have to run away.

The person didn't dare to send someone back, he ran to see the fart, just went out, and bumped into someone, he was about to scold, he looked at it, was overjoyed, grabbed the hand of the visitor, and said, "Quick, go and see Lord Lu." ”

The person who came was the unlucky ghost sent to Zhou Heng's camp, everyone thought that he had gone and never returned, but they didn't expect him to come back alive.

Lu Guohua returned to the house uncertainly, and saw Zhou Kang sitting alone in a daze, without even changing his posture, sighed, and said, "Let's see what the messenger says." ”

Let's see if he can live and make a decision. (To be continued.) )
