Chapter 966. Gong died

"Your Majesty! This person is from the northern country, and he is still a slave, so he is afraid that he will harbor evil intentions from the beginning! Now that he is in control of the city defense, he is afraid that he will use the entire Pershing as a bargaining chip to fight for an identity and position in the northern puppet dynasty!"

"Your Majesty! The minister heard that the ten-mile city street outside Pershing was razed by all the northerners, and countless people were slaughtered!

"Your Majesty! I heard that the western city wall has collapsed, and my heroes of the Imperial Forest Army are already fighting with the northerners!

The ministers played impeachment one after another, and the Spirit Emperor patiently listened to their various generous speeches, and was heartbroken, and his expression, which was originally pretending to be calm, actually slowly and truly calmed down. He who is deeply familiar with the emperor's arts, of course, knows that Yinchen is in this court, it is really squeezed out by the jealousy of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and it is almost impossible to get any support, not to mention that before this, Emperor Linghuang and Empress Linghua took the first step and sent all the courtiers they thought were useful to Xiuhang, and those who stayed behind were all useless, jealous and jealous of the waste wood, these people, I am afraid that they will never say a good word to Yinchen.

Emperor Ling listened to the wave of impeachment from the courtiers, but he was relieved. For the emperor, if when a person is impeached, half of the ministers rise up to say good things for him, and the other half say bad things, then this person may really have a problem and commit a crime, but if all the courtiers are saying bad things and no one is saying good things, then this courtier is innocent and honest.

An honest person is destined to be noble, and he doesn't like the flies and dogs in the officialdom, and the corpse is a vegetarian meal, so he will naturally offend everyone inadvertently. The Spirit Emperor has an absolute and almost blind confidence in his vision of knowing people and being good at their duties, and he is actually unwilling to listen to the opinions of the people below.

"Someone, go and ask Zhao Yu, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, what is the situation outside?Is Shenwu Marquis still guarding the city?" Emperor Ling did not listen to the words of the ministers below, let alone respond to Zhan Guang's so-called impeachment. Seeing this, Zhan Guang hurriedly lowered his head, tightened his body, and reduced the area in his Linghuang's field of vision, all of this came from his instinct, the instinct to live like a mouse, even if he had a weapon in his hand that was enough to "kill" the Linghuang, he would never dare to act in front of the civil and military officials.

"No chance! If one of these people opposes me doing this, then I will be guilty of killing the king, and I will not be able to die even if I die!" This was Zhan Guang's thoughts at this time.

"Your Majesty. Zhao Yu came back in person: "Although the city wall is broken, but the four city gates have not missed, the northerners can infiltrate only three or five people, and they have been solved in a few clicks, Shenwu Hou is still on the city tower, and the northerners are fighting fiercely, and there is no defeat yet, but the northerners have suffered a lot of losses." ”

When the emperor heard this, he smiled.

[Many days later, Qianqing Palace]

Zhao Yu's words made the Spirit Emperor breathe a sigh of relief, in his heart, there was no idea of getting through this wave, and what he did did did not have the meaning of being born after death.

These days, he sat on the throne, and his life became more and more tormented by the day.

In the first few days, he was still calm and composed, but the ministers below were holding on to the matter of Yinchen's private meeting with the envoy of the Northern Kingdom, and it became more and more noisy day by day, and there was a great tendency to ask the teacher for guilt, and the Spirit Emperor couldn't know that it was the Ouchi masters of the Fahua Temple who were still trusted by him at this time who were behind the scenes.

Including Zhan Guang, more and more ministers were brainwashed by Sanhuo when they were out of Gong, and the civil and military ministers who were originally thinking about some carefully, whether they were post-party, eunuchs, or princelings, were all aroused by Sanhuo's statement to betray the country and survive, and conspired to "force the palace".

Emperor Ling didn't know this, but he only felt that the minds of the courtiers below had changed, and people's hearts were unstable, so he called Zhao Yu every day to ask about the situation of guarding the city.

And every day, Zhao Yu's answer is the same, because the facts have not changed in any way.

His answer almost became the spiritual pillar of the Spirit Emperor.

Today, the first day of October, is no exception.

"Okay, you go down. Ling was very satisfied and let Zhao Yu out, and in the slowly darkening sky, by the light, carefully read the faces of each of their courtiers, and read the loyalty that might appear on each of their faces.

However, the Spirit Emperor did not find much loyalty, and only saw the same cowardice and insensitivity.

The Spirit Emperor has a bottom in his heart.

"You Aiqing have a very prejudiced ...... of silver dust," Linghuang Pi said with a smile: "After shouting for so many days, Silver Dust will surrender, Silver Dust will surrender, but there is still no city broken, and the army of the northerners is still sacrificed in vain, everyone, can you give me an explanation......

The Spirit Emperor dragged out his voice, and his dark green eyes stared directly at Zhan Guang, forcing Zhan Guang to get up and reply.

Zhan Guang tensed his muscles in fright, and the miniature gun in his hand was covered with sticky sweat. These days, Dai Quan and Xia Shouzhong have taken turns to guard, and even occasionally Han Shuang seems to be guarding on the side, so there is no chance at all.

The only thing he could do was to contact the surrounding ministers privately when he was laying the floor, and at this time he had reached a consensus that he wanted to live and not the Spirit Emperor.

"Your Majesty, it is undoubtedly a matter of meeting the envoy of the enemy country privately, and the ministers dare not bully the king!" Zhan Guang stood up and quickly bowed three times and nine times, his tone full of fear and his self-righteous "loyalty". He is not ready, it takes a lot of opportunities and luck to kill the Spirit Emperor or subdue the Spirit Emperor, and if he is not careful, he will be doomed, but killing Zhan Guang is just a word from the Spirit Emperor.

The Imperial Forest Army is still loyal to the Spirit Emperor.

"Is that true? Then it is appropriate to ask him to come and inquire about the situation. There was no ripple in the Spirit Emperor's voice, as if he was saying something unimportant: "But if you invite him, what will happen to the defense of the city wall?

No one answered, needless to say, the Wenchen under the Spirit Emperor were all characters who could be scolded by Zhao Yuheng for being "stupid", what could they expect? Among the generals, one by one was originally very powerful, able to carry a big stone lock, bend a big bow, and play a big stick, but now they are all shrunken turtles-

At this time, Xue Wuxian, who had come back from Gong, pushed the door and walked in and arrived at his place.

The Spirit Emperor's eyes froze, and he saw this person, a person who should not have appeared here, or was not qualified to appear here, Xue Wuxian.

The six-rank petty official, originally had no qualifications to face the saint, but in the secret realm of the East China Sea, his beloved disciple Fang Tianhang died in battle, and the Spirit Emperor, in line with the intention of wooing him to comfort him, forcibly promoted the walking lieutenant of the Divine Sword Army from the rank of sixth-rank official to the rank of special fourth-rank official, and turned the walking lieutenant into a formal captain, giving him a qualification to observe the government, which can be regarded as a disguised recognition of his identity as a master of the inner realm.

When Pershing was besieged, Xue Wuxian did not leave in order to show his loyalty, he originally thought that the northern country was just a soldier coming to the city, asking for a price or simply looting and leaving, but who would have thought that the northerners would clearly attack the city. Xue Wuxian couldn't figure it out, what good could it do to attack Pershing City? Can they hold up such a long supply line?

"Why did you forget him, how good would it be to send him to assist in defending the city?" the Spirit Emperor's eyes narrowed.

"Old Xue, you say, who can replace Yinchen to defend the city?"

However, Xue Wuxian was pretending to be confused at the moment: "Back to the emperor, no one can replace him." Although the subordinates are okay with force, but the command of the army is not good, and the subordinates are from humble backgrounds, and they have never learned to arrange troops......"

"Then you impeached Silver Dust just now!" the Spirit Emperor was furious, patting the armrest of the dragon chair and shouting, "Do you want to let the city defense collapse and make me and others become prisoners?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has this intention, instead of stubbornly resisting, it is better to surrender as soon as possible......" Xue Wuji's voice suddenly became yin and yang, and he was prostrate on the ground, and suddenly put his left hand into the sleeve of his right hand-

"Evil obstacles!" the Spirit Emperor was so angry that he stood up from his throne: "You can say this kind of thing......

"Your Majesty, it's you who want to be martyred, not us!" The moment Xue Wuxian said this, he bounced up from the ground, bounced up from the posture of throwing his five bodies to the ground, and turned into three afterimages in the air, and actually attacked the Spirit Emperor from three directions.

"Do you still dare to kill the king!" the Spirit Emperor was shocked, but he didn't have time to make any moves, and a cold streamer shot out of his bright yellow sleeve, heading straight at Xue Wuji's throat and piercing it.

Xue Wuxian's body moved sideways in the air, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow, and only then did the ministers see that it was actually a dinner knife.

Silver Dust's Dinner Knife!

Until this time, Silver Dust was still protecting the Spirit Emperor.

"Someone! Escort!" the Spirit Emperor was shocked and angry, and shouted hoarsely at the outside, the gate of the Qianqing Palace was knocked open, and the Imperial Forest Army rushed forward with a knife—

Then everyone, including Zhao Yu, was put down from behind, and the monks of Fahua Temple walked in with a smile.

Sanhuo arched his sleeves towards the ministers: "Rank donor, I'm sorry, if you are poor, you will think about change, and the dead monk will not die the poor monk, hehe!"

The Spirit Emperor was stunned.

At this moment, Zhan Guang suddenly took out the "silent" miniature gun from his sleeve, skillfully filled the gunpowder and "Wujin Pill", and then rolled on the spot, went to the bottom of a lampstand, stood up in the shadows, just enough to reach the secret red candle in the palace, and lit the fire rope with the candle flame, and shot it at the stomach of the Spirit Emperor.

All of this happened between the lightning and flint, and the Spirit Emperor didn't react at all, and was put down by a single shot. The ministers let out a pretended scream, and at the same time, Dai Quan, who was guarding the Spirit Emperor's side, suddenly jumped up and punched Xue Wuxian in the face who rushed over for the second time, and then the blood flashed, and he was beheaded by Xue Wuxian with a sword.

"Father-in-law!!" Xia Shou, who had just come back from going out to give an order, saw this, and was about to pounce with a scream, but he was suddenly slapped away by the person who rushed out of the oblique stab.

That person was none other than Queen Linghua!

"Your Majesty, kill the concubine!" Empress Linghua closed her eyes and screamed like crazy, but her body's movements were not controlled by herself at all, and the joints of her whole body were wearing a thin red thread, which was no different from the red thread used by Strange Spring, and behind her, there was a palace maid who "should never betray her" Zhu'er.

That was the only palace maid who hadn't been cleaned up after Juan'er's incident.

But she still betrayed the queen and betrayed the whole country.

Qianqing Palace, it's messy.

【Wind Source Continent】【Showa 9th October First Day】

Time gradually entered the golden autumn October, and the battle of Pershing City really changed from a national war and a national war to a simple meat grinder.

The dark golden city walls, the blood-red moat, the urgently repaired city towers and the ten cannons that were finally "conjured" by the silver dust have long ceased to be the decisive factor in defending the city walls, and the only thing that can really build the defense system of Pershing City is piles of flesh and blood.

The siege war, starting from the night of Silver Dust's assassination, never stopped.

The corpses of the northerners, the blocked moat, let the water spread everywhere, and the magicians who lost their runes could only conjure pumps and water cannons to reduce the waterlogging of the city while spraying the water back, causing trouble for the northerners, but the effect was not obvious. The corpses of the Southern Forbidden Army, which had been piled up all over the inside of the city walls, were burned by crematoriums, and the stench was high to the sky.

The originally very high patriotic sentiment of defending the land was transformed into a resolute and introverted quality after the noisy first battle, but it was also quickly consumed by fatigue in the infinite round of battles. The city wall collapsed, and there were cracks in the three walls that were blasted open by the Buddha Lang machine, and under the sudden killing of the Jianzhou slaves, there was no way to seal it with rocks, and it could only be filled with flesh and blood.

"Your Excellency, this place can't be defended, and please—" As the magician wore a silver robe and patrolled the cruel city walls, Ding Haibo's pleading voice spread in the bloody wind. Under the city walls, another wave of enemies was repulsed, and it turned out that neither the red-coat cannon nor the Franco-cannon could be the match for the rapid-fire artillery that could be reloaded, let alone the machine gun that harvested life, but that wave of attack left thousands of corpses behind them and slowly retreated, and behind them, a new wave of enemies came like a tide.

The barrels of the machine guns were overheated, some were even slightly deformed, from time to time they jammed, and even exploded, and the ammunition slowly bottomed out, while the enemies in the north came in waves as if endlessly, without any time to rest.

No, to be precise, the northerners have a lot of rest time, at least thirty waves of enemies, taking turns to charge, one wave down, you can rest twenty-nine waves, almost half a day has passed, even if the corpses are like a sea, the cloud carts are still running over the corpses, stacked in batches, as long as the giant beasts do not die, they can hardly use endless cloud cars.

And the giant beast is really too difficult to kill, especially the forbidden army doesn't even have enough energy to kill people at this time, how can you take care of them?

Silver Dust can only continue to consume all kinds of materials, changing batches of weapons and ammunition to replenish, he now has no runes, and he can't change the battlefield environment on a large scale, the attack power of Chi Youwan Transformation is excellent, but the help of the field control ability that is vital to the mage is quite limited.
