Chapter 496: The burning flame of grief, Song Chen's thoughts
Burning City.
Palace.
At this time, the court meeting of the Lieyan Dynasty seemed to be extremely silent, even a little depressing, and the depression was a little scary, and the air was full of a solemn atmosphere, which was mixed with a lot of sadness.
Just now, Burning Yan received a message from the front line, and after reading it, the whole person vomited three liters of blood, and now he was leaning on the throne with a pale face, motionless.
And below, those ministers don't know what happened, they only know that after reading the information, their majesty shouted three times that it was impossible, and then vomited blood, if it wasn't for the timely rescue of everyone, I'm afraid I don't know what will happen.
After a while, Burning Yan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips squirmed, wanting to say something, but he still didn't say it.
"Captain, please inform everyone of this news!"
Handing the information just now to Song Chen, the chief lieutenant who was standing at the front, Burning Yan closed his eyes again and leaned on the throne with a sad expression.
Song Chen took the information of the burning flame and quickly glanced at it, and suddenly, a trace of strange color flashed in his eyes, and then he also looked sad.
"Lord Lieutenant, what the hell is going on?"
"Yes, Your Majesty has become like this since he read the information, what the hell is going on?"
At this time, many ministers below spoke to Song Chen.
In the current state of Burning Yan, they didn't dare to ask, but Song Chen was a colleague with them and had a good relationship, so they could ask.
Song Chen sighed and said in a low voice: "The intelligence said that I am going to the ancestor...... It's fallen!"
After saying that, the sadness on his face couldn't be suppressed!
“......”
Suddenly, the entire hall was quiet again, as if even breathing had stopped, quiet and scary.
After a long while, someone trembled and said, "Too... Lord Lieutenant, you... You're not kidding, are you?"
"Yes, Lord Taiwei must be joking, how could I fall when my ancestor is so powerful?"
"Lord Taiwei, this information must be fake, right? It must be the enemy's distraction!"
Many ministers didn't believe it, and their faces were incredulous!
The ancestor is so powerful, how could he fall, it must be the enemy's strategy, wanting to disturb their state of mind.
Yes!
A group of people looked at Song Chen with hopeful eyes, hoping that he could also give such an answer!
But Song Cheng was silent for a while, sighed, and said slowly: "This information is sent by the Burning Sky Legion, and it is also the unique encryption method of the Burning Sky Legion, which has the unique encryption method of the Burning Sky Legion, except for Your Majesty and me, almost no one can understand it!"
"It elaborated on the results of that battle, at the beginning, our army was defeated by the other party, and then General Burning Heart asked Lao Zu to make a move, Lao Zu shot, was stopped by a general of the other side, after a fierce fight between the two sides, finally Lao Zu was defeated and died on the spot, and then General Burning Heart and General Chi You also died one after another, only General Ye Ken still doesn't know how it ended!"
"This ......"
After hearing this, the last hope in the hearts of a group of people was also shattered, and they all froze in place, some were at a loss, and some of them were even pale and began to tremble.
The other party can kill their ancestors, so what can their Burning Dynasty use to resist?
What would they do if they were killed?
Suddenly, a group of ministers, with different faces, didn't know what they were thinking about in their hearts.
At this moment, the burning flame above opened his eyes and said slowly: "At this time, the other party must have broken through the defense line of the major legions, and I believe that he is marching towards the capital of our country, and my dynasty has nothing to resist now." ”
Speaking of this, Burning Flame glanced at the ministers of all shapes and colors, and said in a low voice: "So, I can give you a chance, for the sake of you who have done your best for my dynasty, I can give you a chance to choose, if you are willing to stay in this city and live and die with me, then stay, and if you are not willing to live and die together, you can leave, I will not stop you." ”
"Now, make your own decisions!"
The group of people below looked at each other, a little dazed!
They would never have expected that their own majesty would come out like this, and they were not prepared at all.
After a while, no one said anything, but all eyes were focused on Song Chen, hoping that he would take the lead in making a choice.
And Burning Yan also set his eyes on Song Chen, and said softly: "Taiwei, your contribution to our dynasty is the greatest, and your ability is also highly recognized by me, I don't want you to fall in this city with me, you better go and serve other countries, with your ability, I believe that you can create a meritorious achievement anywhere." ”
After speaking, he sighed, a trace of sadness appeared on his face, and said again: "Chuan I order, the treasury is fully opened to the Taiwei, and the Taiwei can choose five items from them to leave!"
At this time, Song Chen did not highlight too many surprises, but hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has been an official since he was fifty years old, and now it has been more than 400 years, everything about the old minister has been deeply engraved with the brand of the Lieyan Dynasty, and now Your Majesty has let the old minister leave, where can the old minister go?"
After speaking, his face was straight, and he said solemnly: "The old minister is not talented, he is willing to do his last bit of strength for me, and swear to live and die with His Majesty!"
"Tai Wei, why do you bother, with your talent, no matter which country you go to in the Eastern Regions, you can be reused, there is no need to stay here with me and wait for death!"
Song Chen shook his head and said firmly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to persuade the old minister anymore, the old minister has made up his mind." ”
"Alas!"
Burning Yan sighed, then looked at the other ministers below, and said slowly: "You are all the pillars of my dynasty, I can't bear to wait here for death with me, so you can make your choice as much as you want, and I will never care." ”
The ministers below looked at each other and looked at each other.
Subsequently, they began to make choices, among which about thirty percent of the people chose to leave, about fifty percent chose to live and die with the dynasty, and two percent chose to resign, but said that they would not leave the burning city.
After a short moment, everyone made their choice.
"Okay, since you've all made your choice, let's go back and prepare, retreat!"
In the end, Burning Flame waved his hand weakly and sent everyone out.
After a moment, there was silence in the main hall, and only Burning Yan sat on it, his face cloudy.
After a while, Burning Yan suddenly spoke: "Old Liao!"
Sou!
In an instant, an old figure appeared in the main hall.
"The old slave is here, I don't know what His Majesty commands?"
Burning Yan's face was heavy, and after a long pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "Inform the Holy Fire Guard, and when those people leave the Burning City, they will all be killed, and no one will be left!"
"Yes!"
......
Song House.
At night, only the study in the depths of the Song Mansion was still lit, and Song Chen was holding a book and watching it quietly.
At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "Master, Master Kong asks to see!"
Song Chen put down the scroll and said lightly: "Please come in." ”
In a moment, an old man with a pale face walked in.
"I don't know what happened to Kong Lao's late night visit?"
Kong Xiu said with a smile: "The old man has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace! There are some things that I want to discuss with the Taiwei." ”
"Kong Lao, please speak!"
Kong Xiu pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "Lord Song, now that the survival of our dynasty is at hand, even if we stay, I'm afraid it won't help the dynasty much, rather than this, it's better to stay and look for opportunities, maybe you can also avenge our dynasty, what do you think?"
Song Chen's brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Old Kong's trip is to persuade the old man to leave the Burning City and flee alone?"
Kong Xiu didn't speak, and after a while, he nodded and said, "It's not to escape, but to wait for an opportunity to hibernate and keep the fire for me!"
"Master Kong, needless to say, Song has been an official for hundreds of years, and he has long been integrated with my dynasty, life and death are shared, Song will not leave, Lord Kong, please go back!"
"Lord Song, you ......"
"Someone, send off!"
Without waiting for Kong Xiu to speak, Song Chen shouted directly to the outside world, and then several small servants walked in and said respectfully to Kong Xiu: "Kong Daren, please!"
"You...... You're unreasonable!"
Kong Xiu waved his sleeves angrily, turned around and left!
After Kong Xiu left, Song Chen frowned and fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, a figure slowly appeared in the study: "My lord, why didn't you agree just now? Now that the fall of the Burning Dynasty is a certainty, do you really want to live and die with him, you know, the Burning Sun was ...... in the first place"
"Shut up, there is no need to say more at this time, the old man will take care of it!"
Song Chen's face changed slightly, he scolded in a low voice, and then sighed: "How can the old man not know that the Burning Dynasty is about to fall, but do you think the old man can leave? Do you think that the Burning Yan will really let us go? If it is not unexpected, today in the court, those who choose to leave, I am afraid that as soon as they leave the city, they will die, Burning Yan, he is not such a merciful person!"
After speaking, he frowned and said: "If nothing else, I'm afraid that Kong Xiu was also sent by Burning Yan to test the old man, Burning Yan He has not completely trusted the old man, if the old man guesses correctly, he must still have hole cards in his hand, at least, it can let their royal family pass it on safely!"
Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Song Chen's eyes, and he said coldly: "This hole card is the foundation of the burning family, and this is also the goal of the old man!"
Then, Song Chen asked the man in black again, "How are you preparing over there?"
The man in black nodded, and said in a low voice: "It's all ready, now among the city defense troops of the Burning City, there are already thirty percent of our people, and in a few days, it will reach forty percent, and when the time comes, the adults will raise their arms and shout, and they will definitely be able to quickly take down the city defense!"
Song Chen nodded, his eyes were deep, he looked into the distance, and said lightly: "It's been four hundred years, the old man has finally waited for the opportunity, this time, he must make the burning family pay the price!"
"The subordinates must follow to the death!"
"Well, you go down first!"
"Yes, sir!"
Then, the Song Mansion fell silent again, only the light in the study was still on.
