Not only Lin Xiao thought so, but many people here thought so, and they all pinned their hopes on Gu Zhao.

But Gu Zhao's expression was a little cold, a little helpless, and his tone was also very light: "What can I do now, the guards outside are already all the people I can mobilize, and the others were taken away by Liu Ce two days ago when he said that he wanted to strengthen the garrison in the capital for me, and these people have already been rebelled by Liu Ce, so now I can't use people to defend against Liu Ce." ”

Gu Zhao said this as he looked at the faces of everyone in the main hall.

It didn't take long for a minister to sneak out at the side door, that person Gu Zhao didn't have any impression, he had just joined the company not long ago,

And people now venture out for only one purpose.

I went to report to Liu Ce.

The room full of people was very panicked at the moment, everyone had no bottom in their hearts, even Lang Ping couldn't calm down, and said worriedly: "Can we just sit and wait for death like this?" As for the soldiers outside, if you go to transfer the troops now, is it too late? ”

Gu Zhao shook his head slightly, and said regretfully: "I'm afraid it's too late." ”

The people who had completely pinned their hopes on Gu Zhao had completely lost hope, and everyone's faces were ugly, and those who were timid had even started crying.

Sheng Suqin grabbed Su Mian's arm tightly, and her face was also full of worry: "What can I do, if Liu Ce wants to kill everyone, he won't even have a chance to resist." ”

Su Mian didn't answer, and the Champions League stared at Gu Zhao heavily.

Sheng Suqin didn't react for a moment, and said: "No, you are still thinking about asking Your Majesty to give you an explanation, what is the mess, why are you so calm?" ”

She really couldn't figure it out, obviously everyone was very scared, Su Mian still had the heart to stare at Gu Zhao, and her eyes were like she was afraid that Gu Zhao would suddenly run away and not give her an explanation.

Su Mian still didn't return his gaze, and his tone was light: "I'm not the only one who is calm." ”

Sheng Suqin frowned suspiciously, and was about to ask who was also calm, but he reacted at once, but he didn't feel strange, and said calmly: "What's incomprehensible about this, Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Venerable after all, and there are so many people waiting for his protection, even if he is really flustered, he can't show it, and it doesn't mess up everyone's hearts even more." ”

Su Mian knew that what Sheng Suqin said was indeed very reasonable.

But she still felt that something was weird, and she always felt that Gu Zhao's reaction now didn't look like she was unprepared at all.

But these were just her guesses, and soon, the movement outside stopped, and it didn't take long for Liu Ce to stand at the gate and speak: "Your Majesty, it's all this time, are you still ready to lock up and resist?" ”

Gu Zhao didn't speak, but Lang Ping was anxious, couldn't help this resentment, and scolded: "Liu Ce, you thief, you dare to rebel, aren't you afraid of being exterminated and going to hell, the emperor is the true son of heaven, and a villain like you can succeed, you quickly withdraw the troops, and you can not be punished for the serious crime of the nine clans, otherwise the rescue will come soon, and you will not succeed." ”

Through the door, afraid that a few sets would not be able to hear it, Lang Ping's voice was particularly loud.

Liu Ce had people bang open the door of the main hall and rushed into the main hall with a team of elites.

The elites were all wearing armor, holding long knives, and the air of murder was all over their bodies, and the people in the room were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak up at all, and they shivered when they stood with their legs turned over, and the room was full of gasping sounds.

Liu Ce stared at Gu Zhao directly, his face full of sarcasm and contempt.

After a while, he hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled very presumptuously: "True destiny, hahaha, it's ridiculous, if it weren't for the blood of the Gu family in his body, how could he sit in this position if he couldn't support the mud and waste on the wall?" ”

He looked down on Gu Zhao, in Liu Ce's eyes, Gu Zhao didn't have anything, and he didn't have any ability.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Liu Ce continued: "Historically, this position should be sat by capable people, right? He Gu Zhao doesn't have this ability, so I don't mind doing it for him, Xisheng has been in Gu Zhao's hands for all these years, and the blood in his bones is about to be wiped out by this milk doll. ”

When he mentioned this matter, Liu Ce was still so angry that his face was a little hideous and distorted: "Obviously, you can continue to expand your territory, but you have to take the initiative to choose a truce, how can such an unpromising person deserve to sit in this position, if it weren't for him, Xisheng would have dominated the continent a long time ago." "It's easy

Historically, if you want to start an army and rebel, you must have a reason.

Gu Zhao is diligent in government and loves the people, although he has made great achievements, he has always been sincere for the sake of the people, and even advocated the opening of the Luwu Academy to realize the dream of students all over the world to study, so from these aspects, Liu Ce has no way to attack Gu Zhao.

The only thing he can talk about is that Gu Zhao has just succeeded to the throne, so he talks with Nanzhou about the truce, thinking that Gu Zhao is a monarch who has no interest.

Lu Zhe couldn't listen to these words, and said with cold eyebrows: "What do you know about a person who can only see the immediate interests, Your Majesty was unwilling to continue the war, it was a pitiful war for many years, the people's lives were already in dire straits, and they couldn't support the continuation of the war at all, and there were soldiers, how many people die in the war every year, how many innocent families have to be sacrificed, are these not as good as the territory of the war?" ”

Liu Ce didn't care and said, "Isn't this how the country that wants to unify the continent comes here? If he was willing to sacrifice such a little at the beginning, there would be no Northern Yuan and Southern Continents on this continent now, there would only be Western Sages, so in the final analysis, a person like Gu Zhao who has no prospects and no vision is not suitable to be an emperor at all, don't dominate this position, you should abdicate and make way for Xian, right? ”

He didn't want to continue to waste time by talking nonsense, and he wasn't going to give Gu Zhao too much opportunity to think, so he directly ordered the elite around him to arrest a few ministers who were closer to him, and detained all of them and knelt in front of Gu Zhao.

Liu Ce stared at Gu Zhao's eyes like that, his expression was cold, and he said word by word: "Your Majesty, I don't want to discuss with you now, if you take the initiative to hand over the jade seal and hand over this position to me, I am not a cruel and unkind person, I will not touch any of these people, on such a festive day today, I will not be stained with blood in the main hall, but if you don't agree......"

Liu Ce narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone became lighter, and his threatening voice revealed a hint of gloomy compassion: "If you hesitate to stick incense, I will kill someone until you agree." ”

The skill with which he spoke, and the elite of his subordinates also put a knife on the neck of a minister.

The minister's face turned blue with fright, and he cried and begged for help: "Your Majesty save me, save me." ”

Gu Zhao didn't answer, just sat on the chair, the hand hanging on his knee was clenched into a fist, and the indignant and helpless appearance of clenching his teeth made Liu Ce feel good for a moment.

His gaze slowly moved from a group of people, and finally stopped at Su Mian, hooked the corners of his mouth at Su Mian, smiled wantonly, and then asked slowly: "You don't think you can really wait for any rescue, believe it or not, I killed all the people here one by one, and you won't wait for the so-called rescuers, even you have always placed high hopes on Gu Zhixing as a savior...... I killed it too. ”

"Liu Ce!" Su Mian stood up suddenly, as if he wanted to rush towards Liu Ce, the expression on his face was full of hatred and resentment, "I'm going to kill you, how dare you touch him!" ”

Sheng Suqin dragged Su Mian's waist tightly with both hands, not daring to let her really rush over, and her mouth was pale to reassure: "Don't be impulsive first, he deliberately provoked us!" ”

"Is it deliberately provoking, the princess must know very well in her heart, didn't the princess get the news a long time ago, but she didn't dare to believe it, right? Then I'll tell you now, the news is true, Gu Zhixing, it's impossible to come back alive, you don't have any hope, the person who is about to be a prisoner of my ranks, it's better to be a little polite to me. ”

Su Mian's face was full of defeat, his eyes were completely lifeless and fell into a dead silence, he only stared at Liu Ce with red eyes, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "No, how can you succeed, just because a villain like you also wants to kill Gu Zhixing, and he also wants to sit in that position, you can dream about it." ”

Liu Ce's expression was a little cold, the curvature of the corners of his mouth sank slightly, and his expression was indifferent: "Do I have the ability to do this, the princess will be able to see it soon, don't be in a hurry to provoke me, you will soon be able to go down to accompany your prince, and then follow him to ask him clearly, whether I have this ability." ”

Su Mian clenched her fists and gritted her teeth and stared at her deadly, as if she wanted to rush up and kill someone.

Liu Ce turned his head and stopped looking at her, his gaze fell on Gu Zhao again, and said unhurriedly: "How about it, has the emperor thought it through?" ”

In the middle of the main hall, incense candles have been placed to count the time, and now almost half of them have been burned.

Gu Zhao's face was calm, as if he had accepted this change, but he still had some questions that he wanted to ask clearly, so he said lightly: "Liu Ce, I am very curious, who gave you the courage to make you think that as long as you raise troops, you will definitely succeed?" After all, you've been raising soldiers for so long, why did you choose to do it now? ”

Liu Ce looked a little surprised, he really didn't expect Gu Zhao to look like this, as if he had known that he had raised soldiers for a long time.

However, he quickly calmed down and said lightly: "Of course, because now, the time and place are favorable, and they are all on my side, I didn't expect you to really follow my advice, assign Gu Zhixing to the capital, and give me such a good opportunity to do it, as soon as Gu Zhixing dies, who else in the entire West Sage can compete with me?" ”

From beginning to end, he didn't take Gu Zhao to heart at all.

In Liu Ce's eyes, Gu Zhao has always been a puppet-like existence, with no ability or assertiveness, and he listens to Gu Zhixing for everything.

As long as Gu Zhixing is gone, it is the best time to take down Xisheng, so to do it now, it is naturally a deliberate and multi-planned arrangement.
