Lin Haotian asked Li Qi to be brought in, and after a short time, Li Qi walked in quickly from the outside under the guidance of the two Jin Army guards.

Entering the main hall, Li Qi saw Lin Haotian sitting in the center at a glance, he hurriedly straightened the clothes on his body, advanced forward, Shi Dali knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "In Xiamu Kingdom, Imperial Doctor Li Qi, see General Lin!"

Lin Haotian sat there and didn't move, just smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Li Yushi, please get up!"

"General Xie!" Li Qi got up, and then raised his eyes to look directly at Lin Haotian, or rather, at the throne he was sitting on.

Lin Haotian was so smart, how could he not see what he was thinking, he smiled secretly in his heart, but deliberately pretended to be confused and asked: "Li Yushi entered the palace late at night to see Ben Shuai, I don't know what you are doing?"

He didn't mention the matter of inheriting the throne, and Li Qi didn't take the initiative to ask, and after a moment of silence, Li Qifang asked cautiously: "General, when I entered the palace just now, I saw a severed head hanging outside the palace gate, it was ......"

"That's the severed head of the traitor Liu Ji. Lin Haotian said lightly.

Ah? Liu Ji is already dead? Li Qihong gasped, his heart was shocked, happy, and a little sad, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

He was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, rolled his eyes, and said, "General Lin, since Liu Ji is dead, now that the battle in the city should be stopped immediately." ”

Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Ben Shuai doesn't want the battle to continue, but the Mu Army refuses to surrender, and Ben Shuai can't help it!"

Li Qi said: "Your Excellency can take the talisman to order the wooden army to cease fighting!"

Lin Haotian glanced at Chu Lianyu, but Li Qi thought of it with him. He nodded and said, "Ben Shuai has sent people to the Prime Minister's Mansion and asked Du Kong to hand over the military talisman." ”

Li Qiyan frowned, Du Kong was his political enemy and one of the most prestigious magnates in the Mu Kingdom. If this person does not die, his throne of the Wood King will definitely not be stable.

He said with a straight face: "Du Kong has always been loyal to Liu Ji, and now that Liu Ji is dead, Du Kong will definitely resist stubbornly, and it is absolutely impossible for him to take the initiative to hand over half of the talisman, so he can only hand it over by forceful means." ”

Lin Haotian responded. He asked again: "Du Kong only has half a talisman in his hand?"

Li Qi said: "Yes, the other half is in the Great King...... No, in Liu Ji's hands. ”

Lin Haotian looked at Shao Lin on the side inquiringly.

Shao Lin said: "My lord, Liu Ji did not find any items such as military talismans on his body. ”

Without waiting for Lin Haotian to speak, Liu Ji continued: "It must be in the study." ”

Lin Haotian blinked his eyes and said, "Shao Lin, go to the study to search, no matter what, you have to find half of the talisman." ”

"Yes, my lord!" Shao Lin agreed. Walk away quickly.

Li Qi's guess was really right, and when Shao Lin arrived at Liu Ji's study, it didn't take much effort to find half of the talisman.

And it is not so easy to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for the Jin Army.

Du Kong did not run, and there were a large number of wooden generals gathered in the palace, including lieutenant generals Liu Tao and Long Tian, senior generals of the wooden country, who knew that the Jin army had broken through the palace, but they did not know that Liu Ji was dead. They gathered in the prime minister's mansion and were still discussing how to enter the palace. Rescue the King.

As a result, before they could discuss a countermeasure, the Jin army led by Gu Liangyun, Jin Cheng and other generals came to kill in a mighty manner.

At this time, there were many wooden troops gathered outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were thousands of people, and after the two sides met, they didn't say a word, and immediately fought in one place.

The soldiers on the Jin Army's side are mainly based on the Fifth Army. The combat effectiveness is not strong, but there are demon warriors led by Gu Liangyun mixed in it, which brings a great threat to the wooden army.

The two sides fought for a short time, and the wooden army, which was few in number and few in strength, began to be unable to resist and was defeated in the prime minister's mansion.

When they saw the enemy, they all retreated back into their mansions. The Jin army took advantage of the situation to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion and shouted inside, telling Du Kong to come out and surrender.

After shouting for a while, there was movement in the house, and Du Kong was helped to climb the ladder, holding on to the courtyard wall, and shouted loudly outside: "Tell your general to come out and speak!"

Jin Cheng and the others were nearby, and when they heard Du Kong's shout, everyone looked at each other, but no one stepped forward, and finally their eyes fell on Gu Liangyun.

Although Gu Liangyun's status is the same as Jin Cheng's, his qualifications are there, and all the generals naturally respect him as the leader.

Gu Liangyun smiled and said to Jin Cheng: "You are the main general, and it is up to you to go and talk to the other party." ”

Jin Cheng gave in a few more words, and seeing Gu Liangyun's resolute attitude, he no longer shirked, walked out of the crowd, and shouted: "I am Jin Cheng, the general of Jin Guozhong, who is Your Excellency?"

Du Kong stared at Jin Cheng for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Old man Nogi Xiang Du Kong!"

"Oh! It turns out that you are Du Xiang! We are looking for you. Jin Cheng smiled and arched his hand and said: "Du Xiang, as long as you hand over the talisman, I will wait for Qiu to do nothing, and keep you safe, if not, hehe......" He deliberately didn't finish his words, but the meaning was already obvious.

Du Kong secretly gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay to ask the old man to hand over the talisman, but you have to release my king!"

Jin Cheng was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the generals, then laughed, shook his head and said, "Du Xiang, I can't return your king." ”

"How?"

"Now Liu Ji's head is hanging outside the palace gate, if I want to return you, I'm afraid I can only return your headless corpse. ”

"You, what, what?" the old man's head buzzed, and his body could not help but fall backwards, and he almost fell off the ladder.

Liu Tao and the others standing in the courtyard also heard Jin Cheng's words, and people were shocked for a while, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

After a short silence, Liu Tao screamed and yelled left and right: "Hugh wants to listen to the gold thief's nonsense, brothers, release the arrows!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden soldiers hiding behind the courtyard wall stood up one after another, and their arrows were wound, and they launched a salvo at the Jin army outside the city.

Jin Cheng, who was standing in front of the crowd, was the first to bear the brunt, but fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, his cultivation was also profound, and he exercised his spiritual energy in time, otherwise he would have to be shot into a hedgehog on the spot.

Even so, Jin Cheng was still shot down by the opponent's arrow array, he was fine, but the war horse was shot into a hornet's nest by random arrows.

Jin Cheng was furious and yelled at the soldiers around him: "The whole army will attack and kill all the traitors inside!"

As the commander of the Fifth Legion, Jin Cheng and the wooden people are in contact all the time, and when he speaks, he no longer uses sensitive words like 'horse thief', but uses traitor instead.

Although the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Army are all wooden people, they also respect the highly respected Prime Minister Du Kong, but when they are in the army, they have to act according to military orders, regardless of whether the military orders are in line with their wishes.

With Jin Cheng's order, the Fifth Army Corps was dispatched in unison and launched a joint attack on the remaining wooden troops guarding the Prime Minister's Mansion.

How could a few thousand defenders in the Prime Minister's Mansion withstand the onslaught of tens of thousands of Jin troops? In a short time, several places in the Prime Minister's Mansion were broken through by the Jin army, and a large number of Jin troops poured into the courtyard from the outside to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the wooden army.

Both sides are wooden people, and they are raised individually, and there is no distinction between high and low force, and at this time, whichever side has more people will have the advantage. The number of the Jin army was several times or even more than ten times that of the wooden army, so it naturally had an advantage, and soon, the overall formation of the wooden army was crushed by the wind army, and the two sides started a chaotic melee in the prime minister's mansion.

Liu Tao and Longtian, the two generals of the Mu Kingdom, protected Du Kong and retreated to the lobby, at this time, the faces of the two generals had become extremely ugly, they looked at Du Kong with their eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Du Xiang, the king has been killed by the Jin army, and Xiangyang has fallen, are we ...... We're still ...... down."

Before they could finish their words, Du Kong was already angry and thundered, and shouted: "The king has the grace of knowing us, even if we are crushed, we will not be able to repay the king's kindness, how can you say that you are a golden thief?"

Liu Tao and the others were red-faced by what he said, and they lowered their heads one after another.

But the Jin army outside was not something he could say a few words about. On the battlefield, the number of wooden troops is getting smaller and smaller, and as far as the eye can see, the black pressure is all the Jin army, and many wooden troops can only give up resistance and surrender when they are surrounded by the Jin Legion.
