Chapter 590: Negotiation

Before the night army entered the city, everything in the city was naturally as usual, the streets and alleys were full of pedestrians, those who did business were busy doing business, those who bought things were busy buying things, and people came and went, but after the night army rushed into the city, the situation in the city changed drastically in an instant, and panic spread from the city gate and swept through the city in an instant.

"There are enemy troops," shouted the civilians from the city gates, who could identify the night army by what they were wearing, but could not tell which country's army it was. Panic spreads, both passers-by and people who are buying and selling are fleeing in all directions. On the other hand, the Night Army didn't care about the passers-by who were running away, as long as they gave way.

Before the various forces in the city and the people in the palace reacted, there was not much time left for Zhao Wu, and Zhao Wu wanted to surround the palace as soon as possible, so as to capture Emperor Lai.

Laiduli became more and more chaotic, and everywhere the night army passed, there were panicked figures everywhere. The Night Army did not have time to kill these civilians, and would only do so when they encountered a patrol in the city.

After a while, Zhao Wu finally brought the main force to the main gate of the palace smoothly. When the guards at the gate reacted to close the palace gate, the archers in front of them directly released arrows to stop those people from moving. The next time, the night army successfully fought with the guards at the city gate. While fighting to open the way for the night army behind, Zhao Wu led a team of elites to constantly rush inside.

After arresting some people and questioning, he soon asked where Emperor Lai was. So, Zhao Wu led a team of soldiers to break through the obstacles and arrive at the dormitory where Emperor Lai was resting. Not long after Zhao Wu ordered people to surround the dormitory, what was surprising was that Emperor Lai, who was dressed in a dragon robe, took the initiative to come out of the dormitory under the protection of a group of guards.

"Are you from the Night Country?" After a brief glance at the clothes of Zhao Wu and the people behind him, Emperor Lai recognized the identities of Zhao Wu and the others.

"The king's eyes are like torches, and the subordinates admire," Zhao Wu bowed to Emperor Lai, praised Emperor Lai, and then took the initiative to explain his identity, "The subordinate is Zhao Wu of the night country." ”

Even if he was deeply encircled, Emperor Lai did not have the slightest look of horror on his face, and he could still condescendingly talk to Zhao Wu, which was really admirable.

"Zhao Wu," said silently, Emperor Lai's expression flickered, and he understood what was going on now. , I thought that Zhao Wu was going to use Qi Ce to repel the coalition forces of Mongolia and Lai on the battlefield, but I didn't expect Zhao Wu's Qi Ce to secretly lead the army to Laidu to capture him, and at the same time, Lai Huang wanted to see what Zhao Wu was going to do next.

"I've heard the name of Marshal Zhao for a long time, and it's really extraordinary when I see it today," Emperor Lai pushed away the guards who were blocking him and walked straight to Zhao Wu, with an intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The subordinates are not talented, and they are ordered by the monarch to solve the danger of the night capital. It is really helpless to come to Laidu today to disturb the saint, and I hope that the saint will not be surprised, "Emperor Lai's behavior is not expected by Zhao Wu, and the momentum alone is absolutely extraordinary, and there is an unfathomable feeling. In front of Emperor Lai, Zhao Wu, as the commander of the three armies, had to change some of his previous plans and talk to Emperor Lai as a subordinate.

"Marshal Zhao doesn't have to be polite, you are here to capture the emperor, so why worry about whether the emperor is to blame!"

"The king clearly saw that the minister's trip did not offend the king's holy authority. If there is something offended today, you should make amends in the future," Zhao Wu's attitude was still so respectful, facing the calm and calm Emperor Lai in front of him, Zhao Wu already knew that forcible action may not be able to play a substantive role. If they provoke Emperor Lai, they may fail in this trip.

"You're here to get the emperor to withdraw his troops?"

"Exactly. ”

"Zhao Wu, your monarch is now a turtle in an urn, as long as the allied forces of our Lai Kingdom and the Mongolian State attack the night capital at the same time, the night country will no longer exist, what is the significance of Marshal Zhao's trip?"

"The saint is high, and the subordinates admire, but it is precisely because of this that the subordinates have to come. ”

"Then how do you think that the emperor will be willing to withdraw the army?" Emperor Lai smiled and looked at Zhao Wu's expression in his eyes, and there was already a momentum of anti-guest in his demeanor, as if it was Zhao Wu who was going to be captured in front of Emperor Lai.

"The subordinates don't know how to convince the Holy Lord, but they must convince the Holy Lord," Zhao Wu stared straight at Emperor Lai, with a little determination in his eyes. The meaning of Emperor Lai's words, Zhao Wu understood very well. If Emperor Lai refuses to agree now, Zhao Wu can't actually take Emperor Lai, and even if he can capture Emperor Lai, he may not be able to achieve the purpose of this trip.

Once the goal of allowing the Lai army to retreat is not achieved, Zhao Wu's trip will lose all its significance. If that's the case, it's better to stay in the Night Nation and fight against the coalition forces. In fact, up to now, those soldiers behind Zhao Wu don't understand why Zhao Wu has to say so much to Emperor Lai respectfully, and according to their ideas, they can achieve their goal by directly taking down Emperor Lai, but the truth is not so simple.

Compared with the soldiers behind him, Zhao Wu had to think more, he couldn't force Emperor Lai, let alone kill Emperor Lai, otherwise it would only bring them more difficulties.

While he was talking, a large number of guards from the palace came over, along with those ministers of the court, and some of them also brought a group of family members, and when those people arrived, they forced the night army together with vigilant expressions.

The vast majority of those ministers are from the major families in the city, and their own strength is already extraordinary, and each of them also brings a group of outstanding family members, so it can be said that the overall strength should not be underestimated, as if they can threaten the 50,000 night army.

On the other side, after the news of Zhao Wu's trapping Emperor Lai spread, the night army everywhere received an order and was converging towards the dormitory.

"Bold enemies, dare to make trouble in the palace, don't hurry up and arrest them," After those ministers had gathered, one of them, who was dressed in a gorgeous and majestic manner, angrily pointed at Zhao Wu and threatened.

"Ning Xiang doesn't need to be angry, this person is Zhao Wu, the Generalissimo of the Night Kingdom," the next moment, Emperor Lai smiled and waved his hand to the person who spoke, and at the same time informed the person of Zhao Wu's identity.

"Zhao Wu," the person who was called Ning Xiang by Emperor Lai was Ning Yuancai, the Prime Minister of Lai Kingdom, after exclaiming, and then looking at Zhao Wu, Ning Yuancai's face was obviously a little more surprised. In the same way as Ning Yuancai, those princes and ministers showed surprise on their faces when they learned of Zhao Wu's identity.

The word Zhao Wu has an astonishing weight for them, and the anger on the faces of the previous group has also been reduced by a few points, you can imagine how famous Zhao Wu has been recently.

"Seeing Marshal Zhao's true face today, Ning Xiang seemed to be a little shocked," Glancing at Ning Yuancai quite playfully, Emperor Lai smiled and glanced at the ministers again, then slowly retracted his smile and returned to Zhao Wu, "Marshal Zhao, let's explain to them your intention as soon as possible." ”

Emperor Lai's simple sentence seemed like a hint, but in fact, it was intended for Zhao Wuxian to convince a cadre of ministers in the court.

"I've seen Ning Xiang," he greeted Ning Yuancai in a calm tone, and Zhao Wu glanced at the other ministers with a calm expression, "I've seen you." After greeting the courtiers, Zhao Wu's gaze finally returned to Emperor Lai. With the situation under control, Zhao Wu was already in the Emperor's intentions.

As for the question of how to persuade Emperor Lai to withdraw his troops, Zhao Wu had already considered it earlier, and now that Emperor Lai was deliberately embarrassed, Zhao Wu had to think about saying everything that should be said.

Before Zhao Wu spoke, the faces of the ministers of the Lai Kingdom became more and more obvious, especially when they noticed that Zhao Wu was courteous to them, the calm and natural faces seemed to have no regard for their existence at all, but they did not ignore them, and they couldn't help but be surprised again by Zhao Wu's spirit.

While they were surprised, they were puzzled to think about how Zhao Wu led the army into Laidu and even surrounded their king. Just look at the small number of night soldiers in the Lai Palace, and there is an unbelievable feeling in each of them.

Long before, they had already been in awe of Zhao Wu because of Zhao Wu's fame, and now after seeing Zhao Wu himself in person, they were even more in awe. After some shock, Ning Xiang, who was a little out of shape, realized at this moment what the words and deeds of Emperor Lai just now had any meaning, undoubtedly blaming them for being too surprised after seeing Zhao Wu.

After thinking of this, Ning Yuan quickly made himself appear a little shocked, and turned to look at Emperor Lai, "Your Excellency, don't blame, the old minister also asked Zhao Shuai about his intentions." ”

"Ning Xiang doesn't need to say much for the time being, let's listen to what Marshal Zhao who came from afar has to say," Zhao Wu's purpose for coming to Lai Kingdom, Emperor Lai has long been extremely clear, but he still has some questions about how Zhao Wu can lead the army into the palace, but he doesn't need Ning Xiang's help to ask.

"If there are strife and wars all over the place, the situation is changeable. Our emperor understands that the Lai Kingdom was ordered by the Luo Tian Great Power to conquer the Night Kingdom, and it was not out of his original intention, so my Emperor has no resentment towards the Lai Kingdom," Zhao Wu first made a situation analysis, and then began to get down to business, "Now that we are trapped all night, there is no communication between the inside and the outside, and this commander was ordered to take 50,000 elite soldiers, trekking through mountains and rivers, and overcoming obstacles all the way to Lai Kingdom." ”

"Today, I successfully broke into the palace with a strategy, although I offended the holy power of the king, but the commander did not want to return in vain. If you can't persuade the king to withdraw his troops, the commander and 50,000 soldiers will return to China without shame, and I hope the king can understand. ”

"The marshal's words are good, but what if the emperor refuses to agree?" Emperor Lai originally wanted Zhao Wu to convince those ministers first, who would have thought that Zhao Wu would go straight to the point so directly, or throw the question to himself. The passage was so shocking that Emperor Lai had to think about how to reply. As a result, when he could not make a decision, Emperor Lai returned the problem to Zhao Wu.

"If the king doesn't agree, even if the commander fights for the lives of 50,000 soldiers, he will invite the king to the night country and the battlefield, and at that time, it will not be too late for the king to make a decision! Presumably, this commander will take the king away, and the king's subordinates will not dare to force people to make it difficult," Emperor Lai's rhetorical question made Zhao Wu understand that what he just said was not enough to move Emperor Lai, so he could only continue to speak.
