Still dead at the hands of the invisible villain, please...... Please Your Highness fulfills ......" As he spoke, blood foam kept pouring out of Cai Jiu's mouth,

Shangguan Xiu's eyes darkened, staring at Cai Jiu for a moment, he nodded, gently picked up Cai Jiu's head, wrapped one arm around his neck, covered his eyes with the other, bent down, and asked, "What else does Lao Jiu have to say?"

Cai Jiu shook his head slowly, Shangguan Xiu took a deep breath, and the arm around Cai Jiu's neck suddenly retracted back, and he heard a crisp click, Cai Jiu is neck bone responded to the sound, and the surrounding Cai Jiu's subordinates couldn't cry, knelt on the ground in unison, and kowtowed forward,

Shangguan Xiu slowly put down Cai Jiu's body, stood up, his eyes fell on Song Sheng and Nangong Shang, and said in a condensed voice: "Take the two of them and enter the palace,"

With the two hostages of Song Sheng and Nangong Shang, the rebels present no longer dared to act rashly, even the spirit spear shooters hidden in the crowd now lost the opportunity to attack again.

It is no longer one person who forced Song Sheng and Nangong Shang with spirit soldiers, but a large group of people, no matter how superb the marksmanship of the spirit gun shooter is, it is impossible to kill all of them with one shot, but as long as one person is not dead, Song Sheng and Nangong Shang will both die,

Shangguan Xiu and the others smoothly passed through the crowd of rebels and headed towards the north gate of the palace, when there were still more than ten meters away from the north gate, several gunshots rang out on the palace wall, and then, someone asked loudly: "Who is coming, take a step further, we will fire,"

There were only a few dozen of them, and they were moving slowly, so they definitely didn't come to attack, but the defenders couldn't judge their exact identities and didn't dare to let them get too close, Shangguan Xiu raised his head and shouted: "I'm Shangguan Xiu,"

While speaking, he wrapped his arms around Tang Mingzhu's waist beside him, and the wings behind him spread, soared into the air, and flew directly to the city.

Shangguan Xiu's sudden arrival startled the defenders at the head of the city, people first exclaimed, and then rushed up, surrounded and stepped forward, and pointed at Shangguan Xiu and Tang Mingzhu.

The spirit armor on his head was scattered, and the black hair on his temples also turned into silver hair, Shangguan Xiu looked around and said, "Let your general come out and talk to me,"

As soon as his words fell, several generals came out of the army, and after seeing the appearance of Shangguan Xiu and Tang Mingzhu clearly, those generals showed disbelief, and were stunned for a moment, knelt on one knee with a brush, and said with an excited expression and a trembling voice: "The last general will see His Royal Highness and the county lord,"

The news of Shangguan Xiu's return to Beijing has already been spread by the rebels, and the defenders who fought bloodily with the rebels have also heard some, but they don't know the truth of this news.

Now seeing Shangguan Xiu himself, they finally confirmed that the news was true, and the general had really returned to Beijing.

Shangguan Xiu glanced at these generals, including the generals of the Praetorian Guard, the generals of the First Legion, and the few men in civilian clothes who came out of the crowd were the leaders of the Shura Army.

After the leaders of the Tang Army saw Shangguan Xiu, they were like seeing relatives, their faces were full of surprise, they knelt down on one knee one after another, and said in a choked voice: "Your subordinates see Your Highness,"

The soldiers present looked at each other, although they didn't know Shangguan Xiu, but the general and the leaders of the Shura Hall had already determined that it would not be fake.

In an instant, everyone was overjoyed, knelt on the ground in unison, and said in unison: "The villain sees His Highness,"

Shangguan Xiu glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, waved his hand and said, "Open the palace gate and let my brother enter the palace,"

"Yes, yes," the generals hurriedly stood up from the ground and shouted to the soldiers around them: "Open the palace gate, go and open the palace gate,"

As the heavy palace gate opened little by little, the Tang army outside and Cai Jiu's subordinates took Song Sheng and Nangong Shang into the palace together.

If just now they were struggling to support in the endless darkness, then now, with Shangguan Xiu's entry into the palace, people seem to have seen a ray of light in the darkness, a glimmer of hope, and the low morale has instantly risen,

On the other hand, the tens of thousands of rebels outside seem to be at a loss, there is no main general, and the worst thing is that the main general is still in the hands of the enemy, and people don't know whether they should attack or retreat now.

The sharp-eyed defenders saw that there was still Song Sheng in the crowd entering the palace, and shouted loudly: "It's Song Sheng, that's the anti-thief Song Sheng, His Royal Highness captured Song Sheng,"

Suddenly, the defenders on this side of the North Palace seemed to have exploded, and many soldiers were holding swords in their hands and surrounded them.

For Song Sheng, people hate him to the bone, especially the soldiers of the First Army who were defeated and returned to the palace, and they all wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood to relieve their hatred.

Seeing so many soldiers carrying sharp blades and staring at blood-red eyes, coming menacingly, the Tang soldiers around Song Sheng were all startled, and while protecting Song Sheng, they waved their hands and said: "Don't get excited, brothers, for the thief Song Sheng, His Royal Highness will deal with it, and will give an explanation to the brothers,"

Someone among the soldiers immediately responded: "Yes, we have to listen to His Highness, and we can't execute Song Sheng without authorization,"

"Your Highness will definitely not let go of Song Sheng, the revenge of the brothers, Your Highness will definitely avenge it on our behalf,"

Although the soldiers who surrounded him put away their firearms, they did not let Song Sheng go, some people spat on him, and some people added fists and feet, but Song Sheng was surrounded by Tang Jun, and there were not many saliva and fists and feet that fell on Song Sheng, but there were many who fell on Tang Jun by mistake.

Shangguan Xiu did not stop the angry soldiers, the anger in people's hearts also needed to have a channel for catharsis, he asked Nangong Shang to be brought to the palace wall, and asked the soldiers to erect a pillar on the palace wall and tie Nangong Shang to it.

He said to the generals and the leader of the Tang army around him: "This person is the general of the rebel army, and his status in the rebel army is not low, so putting him here can deter the rebels outside, and in a short period of time, the rebels will not dare to attack rashly,"

When everyone heard this, they subconsciously looked outside, isn't it, there are a sea of rebels outside the palace, but at this time, they all stopped, as if they had lost their backbones.

People are overjoyed, His Royal Highness is worthy of the title of the god of war of the Wind Country, as soon as he returned to Beijing, he stabilized the precarious situation, at least the situation on the side of the North Palace,

Everyone intervened in unison and said, "If it weren't for His Royal Highness's timely return to Beijing, the palace would be in danger,"

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said, "You generals don't have to be humble, if it weren't for you and your brothers to fight the enemy bloodily, the palace would have ceased to exist,"

His words made everyone's hearts warm, they were not afraid of death, they were afraid that death would not be worth it, they were afraid that no one would remember after death, Shangguan Xiu's words made them feel that no matter how much blood they shed and how much sweat they had, it was worth it.

"Where is Your Majesty now?"

"Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty and the adults are in the Jinluan Palace,"

Shangguan Xiu snorted and said, "Here, it's up to the generals, and I'll take Song Sheng to face the saint,"

"Your Highness, what our army has failed to defend the city defense of the capital is because of Song Sheng's internal and external cooperation with the rebels, Your Highness must not be merciful to Song Sheng's dog thief," The generals of the First Legion knelt on the ground one after another,

Shangguan Xiu helped everyone up, and Zhengse said: "Rest assured, generals, Xiu, I will give you an explanation,"

"Your Highness Xie,"

Shangguan Xiu didn't stop much at the North Palace, took Song Sheng and went straight to the Jinluan Palace.

In the Jinluan Palace,

Tang Ling sat in the middle, below is the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, this time the rebel rebellion, can be called the biggest crisis Tang Ling has experienced since he ascended the throne, the sixteenth rebel army, a total of millions of people, besieged Shangjing, and failed to break through the city defense of Shangjing, but this time, the city defense of Shangjing was broken, hundreds of thousands of rebels entered the city, besieged the palace, the worst thing is that the central army of the Wind Country is on the front line, Tang Ling has no available soldiers in his hands,

In the court, people's arguments continued,

"Your Majesty, now the strength of the First Army is less than 50,000, the strength of the Praetorian Guard is less than 30,000, and the rebels who have invaded Shangjing are claimed to be a million, and our side is 80,000 against a million, which is really ...... The mantis arm is a car, "The person who spoke was the Shaoqing of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Internal History Office, He Tu,

Chancellor of the Exchequer Gan Lin snorted coldly and said: "The Inner History Mansion is really united, Song Sheng took the lead in defecting, what's the matter, is Lord He persuading His Majesty to surrender on behalf of the rebels?"

He Tu's face changed, and he said to Gan Lin: "Lord Gan, don't frame Zhongliang, the lower officials are loyal to the country, and there is no second heart,"

"What do you mean by persuading Your Majesty to surrender to the rebels now?"

Minister of Agriculture Zhuang Cheng said: "Actually, what Lord He said is not unreasonable, the rebel army has a million troops, and there are many people, and it is really difficult to win by relying only on the 80,000 defenders in the palace,"

Minister of War Du Xian also answered: "The most critical point is that the Central Army is now on the battlefield of the National War, and when the war with the Ningnan people is in full swing, it can not be withdrawn, even if it can be withdrawn, the distant water can not quench the thirst of the near, and when the Central Army rushes back to the capital to rescue, I am afraid that the ...... "I am afraid that the cucumber vegetables will be cold, in the end, Du Xian lamented and shook his head helplessly,

"Weichen said at the beginning that my country was not prepared for this national war, and we should not rush into war...... It's too late to regret it,"

Above the court, there are basically no opinions that can solve the current crisis, and some are basically complaints and persuasions to surrender.

Looking at the mouths of the ministers, Tang Ling suddenly felt like he was looking at a group of beasts that eat people and don't spit out bones, beasts that want to tear themselves alive,

She rubbed her forehead tiredly, turned her eyes to the silent Minister of the First Assistant, and asked, "Lord Cai, do you have any advice?"

Tang Ling's words made the noisy court immediately quiet, and people's eyes fell on Cai Xiao in unison,

Cai Xiao hung his head, walked out of the train, bowed his hand, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Weichen, there is no good way to break the enemy, Weichen only has a heartfelt word, the Cai family has been blessed by His Majesty and the previous emperors of the past dynasties, for hundreds of years, it has been prosperous forever, and the Weichen and Cai family have nothing to reciprocate, and they are willing to be Your Majesty, and their hearts and minds are smeared, and they are dead,"

Tang Ling's heart was shocked, she did not doubt Cai Xiao's loyalty, and she had always admired Cai Xiao's scheming and resourcefulness, but even Cai Xiao, who was like an old fox, said such things at this time, and she only had to express her determination, and there was no strategy to break the enemy, it seemed that it was really not good.

She looked at Han Ye again and asked, "Lord Han, what about you,"

Han Ye stood in the center of the court, silent for a long time, he bowed his hand and said, "Weichen, seconded,"
