Chenguang smiled slightly, beckoning Xu Maode to come forward.

Xu Maode stepped forward with a solemn expression.

Morninglight whispered something to him.

At first, Xu Maode didn't understand, but when Chenguang's words were finished, when he thought about it, his heart sank, and he looked at her with horrified eyes.

"Your Highness......"

"You also want your whole family to live well, not to die on the battlefield, and not to be executed as prisoners after the war, right? Or do you want your father to die for your country right in front of your eyes? Fighting to die for a country that is about to die is not a hero, it is stupid, just like jumping into it knowing that there is a deep pit in front of you that will fall to your death. If you want to be a hero, you should also think about your wife and children at home, not to mention your grandmother, even your mother is not young, and your youngest son has just turned four years old......" Chenguang smiled and groaned, "General Xu, accumulate some blessings for your son, don't let him hate you in the future when life is worse than death, hate why you don't listen to me today." ”

Xu Maode was cold from head to toe, he closed his eyes, and his heart was turbulent.

The phoenix lord of the phoenix kingdom is different from the emperors of the Central Plains, even if the emperors who grew up in a civilized land have the power of life and death, they will also be afraid of speech and the eyes of others. But Lord Feng is different, she is bloody and fierce, she doesn't care about the eyes of others and doesn't care about speech. And the people of the Phoenix Underworld, they are a group of primitive beasts, they worship blood, so they worship the Phoenix Lord.

The phoenix lord has more than blood, her meticulous scheming is outrageous, no wonder some people say that this person is a nine-tailed fox to survive, this heart, the nine-tailed fox is not as cunning as her.

She looked at him with a smile, innocent and harmless, but this was a demon.

Xu Maode knelt down and said softly:

"In any case, please Your Highness must spare the life of your father!"

"I told you that I did this for the safety of your family, and you don't believe me?" Chenguang puffed out his cheeks and asked unhappily.

Xu Maode hurriedly replied: "I believe it!" ”

Morninglight curled her lips and smiled.

After Xu Maode withdrew, Si Qian stepped forward, poured a cup of water, and handed it to Chenguang to moisten his throat.

"The subordinates still thought it was ......," Si Qian said.

"Why?" Chenguang asked with a grin.

"The subordinates thought that His Royal Highness was going to provoke Xu Chuan and Emperor Long Xi, and let Emperor Long Xi personally dispose of Xu Chuan."

"It's like I'm provocative." Chenguang puffed out his cheeks dissatisfiedly.

Si Qian looked at her and was silent.

Chenguang thought to himself that this person was so boring, shouldn't he deny it immediately at this time, if it weren't for her who was in charge of promotion, Si Qian would not have been promoted in his life.

"Before, because of the plague and chaos in Heding Mansion, it was probably a mistake when the news was transmitted, and Qian An didn't know that Xu Maode had defected to the enemy, so he sent Xu Chuan to be a general. But now at this time, it is impossible for Ji'an not to know, and if he knew, he did not change the general, because he was worried that the change of generals at this time would not be conducive to the unity of the army and would easily cause turmoil. Emperor Long Xi planned to use the 'heart-to-heart strategy' this time, and Jiucheng told Xu Chuan the news of Xu Maode's defection to the enemy, and then told that the Xu family would not be investigated, but the emperor trusted General Xu very much, so as to arouse Xu Chuan's guilt, and Xu Chuan would be more loyal to the emperor. ”

After a pause, Chenguang continued:

"Xu Maode is right, a general of Xu Chuan's level, usually forms a party and is greedy for stolen goods, but when the country is about to die, he still has loyalty, unless he is held with a fatal weakness, he would rather die in battle than surrender. Xu Maode is not Xu Chuan's weakness, Xu Chuan has more than one son, and the son who will be famous is no longer a son.

Xu Chuan knows in his heart that treason is a sinner of the country, even if he surrenders to the enemy to survive, the life of a slave will definitely not be easy, plus the emperor pressed his trust, if I guess correctly, he is now ready to fight to the death. If they want to separate them, they must use Xiao Run, Xiao Run, at this juncture, he will definitely not recall Xu Chuan because of one of my provocations, or send someone to execute Xu Chuan, they are now guarding against my separation, for fear that I will calculate them. ”

Si Qian thought about it and nodded.

"I don't beat them to death, they really think I'm going to sow discord." Chenguang said with a smile, paused, and ordered, "Go ahead, let Xu Maode be a little more like, don't be seen as flawed." ”

Si Qian responded with a "yes" and turned to go out.

Chenguang picked up the porcelain cup in both hands and drank it in small sips, and a pair of light pink lips became moist.

……

Lu Xing Mansion.

Xu Chuan is nearly sixty years old, has a leopard head, and looks extremely fierce.

Not long after he led the withdrawal of troops from Qijiang to rush to Luxing Mansion, Qi'an came.

Xia Qinghe brought him a piece of news that made his lungs almost explode, his son Xu Maode opened the city gate in Fenghua Mansion to surrender to the enemy, and then he did not know his whereabouts, and now the plague is breaking out in the central part of Longxi Kingdom, and countless people have died of the disease, a large number of soldiers have died of smallpox, and even the main general Mu Ye has died of smallpox virus.

Xu Chuan felt a chill in his hands and feet when he heard the news of Mu Ye's death, and for a moment he even wondered if Long Xiguo's qi was exhausted.

Xu Maode's surrender made Xu Chuan lose face, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, he was angry and panicked, and he was most worried that the emperor would lose trust in him because of this.

Fortunately, Xia Qinghe comforted him in time, saying that Xu Maode is Xu Maode, Xu Chuan is Xu Chuan, Xu Chuan is the famous general of Long Xiguo, and the Xu family has guarded Long Xiguo for generations, and His Majesty will not doubt the loyalty of the Xu family because of a traitor, and also let Xu Chuan relax and continue to guard Luxing Mansion.

When Xu Chuan heard this, he was ashamed and sad, the Xu family has been loyal and good for generations, but because of a rebel, the family has accumulated a hundred years of innocent reputation. He hated it so much that his teeth itched, and he swore to Xia Qinghe that as long as he saw Xu Maode in the future, he would definitely slaughter that beast first.

Xia Qinghe said politely, as a supervisor, Xia Qinghe stayed in Luxing Mansion.

Why did Xia Qinghe, who was clear in Xu Chuan's heart, stay, but His Majesty was willing to believe him if something happened to such a big thing, and he was already very grateful.

Xia Qinghe is a well-behaved person, although he stayed, he didn't participate in the affairs of the army, and the discomfort in Xu Chuan's heart subsided by himself.

Xianping five years, midsummer.

The army of the Feng Ming Kingdom came to Luxing Mansion for the first time.

Xu Chuan received the news and boarded the city gate as soon as possible, the army of the Feng Ming Kingdom broke through Shipu Peak all the way, and it was menacing, Xu Chuan thought how many people there were before, and when he saw it like this, he almost laughed angrily. He now deeply doubted that the people who led the troops to resist before were all fools or all of them, how did Feng Yingguo let them win the battle with just a few people?
