The boy has tears and doesn't flick.

Zhang Qingfeng never dreamed that the lord of a country in the dignified Spring and Autumn Empire would actually shed tears!

Originally, when he heard the words of Emperor Shengzong begging him to save people, Zhang Qingfeng thought that his brain was in water, and he would daydream like this, but when he saw those two lines of hot tears, he swallowed the words in his mouth again.

"This invasion of the Great Zhou is my fault, I swear to you in the name of the previous emperors of the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom, as long as Zhang Gongzi is willing to help, the soldiers and horses of the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom will never step into the Great Zhou Dynasty again!

Emperor Shengzong's words caught Zhang Qingfeng off guard.

He stared at the handsome face, which had been dulled by pain, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.

"What are you...... Are you interceding for them? For the sake of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, are you willing to give up the territory of the ten counties in exchange?"

In Zhang Qingfeng's view, the magnates of the Central Plains are all big people who are above the top, and they are tough guys who would rather die than give in, and the emperor of the ancient Spring and Autumn Period should be a man who can be killed but not humiliated, and will never bow to anyone for the sake of dignity, otherwise, how can he get the support of so many people?

Therefore, when he heard that Emperor Shengzong actually bowed his head to himself and confessed his mistakes, and made such a promise to lose power and humiliate the country, he mistakenly thought that he had heard it wrong.

Emperor Shengzong smiled dismally and said, "I said a few words from my heart, I don't know if you believe it or not. ”

"You say. ”

"Emperor Zhou has no way, pro-villain Yuan Xianchen, since he ascended the throne, persecuted the old god of war everywhere, and suppressed the affairs of the Marquis of Wu'an, I have heard about it, one of the reasons for this attack on Zhou is because I can't get used to Emperor Zhou's style, and I want to vent for your grandfather. ”

Listening to Emperor Zhou's words, Zhang Qingfeng's eyes narrowed, if someone else said this, he might think that the other party was asking for himself, so he deliberately showed favor, but Emperor Shengzong is different, although he has not had much contact with him, but in the past two months, his attitude towards his grandfather Zhang Chaoyang has been extremely respectful, and he has even won over his grandfather, these small details have proved that Emperor Shengzong has a good impression of his grandfather, and with his identity, there is really no need to tell this kind of lie to please himself. A guy who is inwitable even a magician in terms of resourcefulness, no matter how stupid he is, he will not bring shame on himself.

Seeing that Zhang Qingfeng didn't answer, Emperor Shengzong continued: "Of course, this is only one of the reasons. I raised troops to attack Zhou, in the final analysis, it was only against the Zhou people, and all the layouts I did were only aimed at Emperor Zhou, but the development of things exceeded my expectations, and Emperor Zhou surrendered, but I didn't expect that the Marquis of Wu'an, who was suppressed by Emperor Zhou, became my fierce enemy. ”

"As for everything that happened after that, it has exceeded my expectations, and as the war situation continues to deteriorate, the contradictions between our two sides are getting deeper and deeper, and we have come to this point. ”

"It's not that I made a prisoner and deliberately showed favor to you, if I had known that this would be the situation, I would never have sent troops to attack Zhou easily, in the past two months, too many people have died. Although I don't think I'm a good person, I'm not a butcher who kills people without blinking, and so many fresh lives have vanished in front of me, and my heart is really uncomfortable. ”

"But I have no choice, I have been forced to this point, I can only rush forward, you should still remember, this evening, I sent out the Hellfire Chariot to attack the city, I could have attacked with all my strength without saying a word, but for the sake of the people of Quanyang City, I still kindly said some words of persuasion, which gave the black dragon a chance, otherwise, if the cannon was fired at the beginning, Quanyang City might have been broken a long time ago, after all, the dragon breath of the black dragon always needs time. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Zhang Qingfeng's mouth twitched twice, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth in the end.

Although Emperor Shengzong's failure to immediately use the Hellfire Chariot can be understood as fearless, he has to admit that if the Hellfire Bomb was fired at the beginning, the defenders of Quanyang City would not know how many people would die, so this remark was not a strong word.

"Zhang Gongzi, the grievances between the Great Zhou and the empire are just contradictions and hatred within the human race, even if someone wants to die, they should not die in the hands of the demon race, I am willing to intercede with you for these human warriors, I hope you can open the city gate for the sake of the same clan, and let them enter the city! If you don't believe me, I can make a note and swear to the sky now! Zhang Gongzi, I, please!"

As he spoke, Emperor Shengzong bent his knees, and with a thud, he knelt in front of Zhang Qingfeng!

Above the city gate, there was a dead silence.

Zhang Chaoyang and the Tang Dynasty National Teacher Qin Fengtu all looked at this scene in shock.

Because Emperor Shengzong didn't deliberately carry them behind his back when he said this, these core figures all heard it, but seeing that Zhang Qingfeng had been silent, they all consciously didn't say anything, until they saw the emperor of the first power in the Central Plains kneeling on the ground, they couldn't help but open their mouths wide, but they couldn't say a word.

Zhang Qingfeng looked at the Holy Emperor who was kneeling on the ground expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.

It was a long time before he suddenly spoke.

"It's not enough. ”

"No matter what your intentions are, it is a fact that the Great Zhou soldiers died so many people in battle, they can't die in vain, just ten counties want to offset today's mistakes, it is too much for the lives of my Zhou people to take it seriously, in my opinion, every dead tiger and leopard soldier is worth three hundred miles of fiefdom! In this way, it is not enough to compensate all of your Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom, Your Majesty, you are willing to kneel and pray for the Spring and Autumn soldiers, is it that I, Zhang Qingfeng, am I taking my brother's life in exchange for a glorious and rich beast?"

After listening to Zhang Qingfeng's words, Emperor Shengzong said with an extremely serious expression: "Zhang Gongzi, the past has happened, except for the ten counties, I am willing to give an additional compensation to the families of the dead soldiers of the Great Zhou, each family will compensate 1,000 amethyst stones, all the mistakes are my fault, I only hope that Zhang Gongzi can be a large number of adults, and give these innocent Terran soldiers a way to live, if Gongzi still feels that it is not enough, I am willing to offset with my life, I just ask Gongzi to open the city gate and give the soldiers outside the city a chance to live!"

As he spoke, Emperor Shengzong stood at the head and kowtowed to Zhang Qingfeng three times.

Zhang Qingfeng just watched Emperor Shengzong finish knocking his head, his brows gradually furrowed, and he twisted into the word 'Sichuan'.

I have to admit that Emperor Shengzong's actions made Zhang Qingfeng look at this Spring and Autumn Emperor with admiration.

What does it mean to love the people like a son?

No wonder the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom has been standing at the peak of the Seven Kingdoms of the Central Plains for 800 years, no one can shake it, there is such a king, what soldier does not swear to serve the country?

Changing his position, Zhang Qingfeng asked himself that he couldn't do what Emperor Shengzong did, exchanging his own life for someone else's.

However, respect for respect does not mean that Zhang Qingfeng is soft-hearted.

No matter how valuable your Holy Emperor's life is, it is just a cheap life in the eyes of my Zhang Qingfeng, others take your emperor seriously, but in my eyes it is worthless!

Just as Zhang Qingfeng was about to say something, an instinctive feeling made him turn his head to look outside the city.

At night.

Zhang Qingfeng saw a thin figure walking towards this side with heavy steps on crutches.

"Huh, why is he here?"

The slightly rickety figure in the night was none other than the magician.
