"The king has come just in time." Ma Yuanfeng welcomed the King of Nanling in, and said with a smile, "Early this morning, Jinyiwei sent His Majesty's imperial decree, asking Gong Heyu to choose an auspicious day to enter the capital to face the saint, and congratulate the king first..."

"This, this..."

"Hahaha!"

"Your Majesty really agreed?"

"Great..."

King Nanling was stunned by the sudden surprise, and his face was also red.

Immediately, King Nanling said excitedly, "I'll go and prepare the dowry now, and I'll leave in three days..."

With that, King Nanling trotted away.

If his daughter marries the Son of Heaven, she is a real relative?

In the future, do you still need to worry about anything?

"Brother Pei, does Your Majesty have any other orders?" As soon as the king of Nanling left with his front foot, Ma Yuanfeng looked at Pei Guangqing and asked.

"Not yet."

"Your Majesty means that the soldiers who surrender without a fight..."

"As for the specific operation, it's up to us Jinyiwei to do it."

"Also, Your Majesty has sent a lot of sappers over, and the two of us combined..."

Pei Guangqing smiled slightly, and had already thought of many countermeasures.

Fulfilling the Holy Mandate is his task.

"Okay."

Ma Yuanfeng nodded, and the admiration and admiration for the Son of Heaven in his heart skyrocketed a lot.

The army is temporarily camped outside the Nanling Wangwang City, and the problem of tens of thousands of prisoners also needs to be dealt with.

The other side.

Jingnan Mansion is 500 miles away from Nanling Wangwang City.

This is the royal city of King Taihe.

Eight days have passed since the defeat of King Taihe.

In the past eight days, the chickens and dogs in the entire Wangcheng have jumped, and everyone is like a frightened bird.

Of the 100,000 troops that had gone out at the beginning, only 12,000 were able to return.

In addition, there were originally 10,000 old and weak people in the city.

Now there are only about 20,000 soldiers in the entire city.

And morale is low to the bottom.

"Wine!"

"Serve wine to the widow!"

King Taihe was in the palace and was very drunk.

Finding that the flask on the desk was empty, he scolded loudly.

Several chamberlains glanced at each other and immediately slipped on the wine.

"Gollum~"

Taihe Wang simply didn't need a cup to drink, and directly picked up the wine gourd and poured it into his mouth.

In the past few days, since King Taihe came back, he has been hiding in the palace and no one has been seen.

Even he couldn't sleep all day.

In addition to ignoring political affairs, he was also afraid to death.

Self-confidence is also completely shattered.

Every day, he worries about whether the Han army will come over.

He is afraid that he will not be able to keep the inheritance of his ancestors.

The battle with the elite of the Han people made King Taihe completely lose all his ambition and self-confidence, and now he can only use alcohol to kill his sorrows...

The other side.

In a teahouse outside the palace.

Several brocade guards dressed in civilian clothes quietly left from here.

Subsequently, the two princes of King Taihe also appeared here.

"Big brother, do we really want to do this?"

"If you don't do this, will you see your father bury the inheritance?"

"But..."

"It's nothing, big brother will go to General Si Kou now, don't forget, now the king of Nanling has become a relative of the royal family, and our soldiers have killed his son..."

"Alas..., big brother, I'm afraid that the Han people will not keep their promises when the time comes?"

"No, Jinyiwei is a person directly under the emperor, they won't talk nonsense..."

"Well..."

After exchanging a few words in the palanquin, the two princes returned to the palace.

These days, the attitude of King Taihe also makes them extremely angry.

Even if it's a defeat.

You've got to figure out how to solve the problem, huh?

Instead of running away from the problem.

How do they know that they won't understand if they don't see the battlefield with their own eyes and experience what it's like to run for their lives...

On that day, the guards of the royal palace were replaced by the eldest prince.

It was just dark.

Si Kou, the general of Wangcheng, secretly entered the palace.

The palace of King Taihe.

"Your Majesty, General Sikou asks to see..."

Hearing the voice of the chamberlain, the drunken King Taihe frowned, and said unhappily, "No, this king will not see anyone..."

Before the words fell, the door of the dormitory was pushed open with a "creak".

Si Kou, who was wearing armor and had a dark face, was standing at the door, and said lightly, "King, Si Kou came in by himself." ”

The attendants behind him did not dare to speak.

King Taihe slammed the wine glass to the ground with a "bang", and shouted angrily, "Si Kou, you are so bold, didn't this king say that no one will be seen?" ”

"Why should the king be angry?"

"Shouldn't the king now think about how to deal with the aftermath of King Nanling and how to give an explanation to the court?"

"Your Majesty, the army of the court is about to arrive, shouldn't you think about your people?"

General Si Kou entered the dormitory, picked up the wine glass on the ground, and joked.

As soon as the words fell, a group of guards wearing rattan armor entered the dormitory.

and all looked indifferently at King Taihe.

"Huh?"

"Sikou?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"You're going to rebel?"

King Taihe was shocked, and most of the alcohol disappeared in an instant, looking at Si Kou as if he knew something.

These guards are obviously fresh faces.

And the only one who can change the palace guards is the eldest prince who has this right.

In an instant, King Taihe seemed to understand, and shouted angrily, "Si Kou, it's not easy to treat you alone, which prince asked you to come?" ”

Sikou followed him for many years.

This person's loyalty is absolutely fine, but at this moment, he is coming to force the palace, this must be his son's ghost.

"Which prince?" Si Kou said bitterly, "My lord, do you think it makes sense to discuss which prince it is?" The king of Nanling has become a relative of the Son of Heaven, and his daughter is about to become the concubine of the Son of Heaven, should you consider it for everyone's sake and appease the anger of the king of Nanling? ”

“......”

King Taihe was silent.

This news made him sit still.

King Nanling, you're really out of shit luck!

"Si Ko, what do you want to do?"

"The son of the King of Nanling was indeed killed by our people, do you think that taking out my head can calm the anger of the King of Nanling?"

"Sikou, you...."

"Don't say it, King, we have nothing else to do."

General Si Kou directly interrupted King Nanling's words, pulled out the saber on his waist, and threw it in front of King Nanling.

Then, General Si Kou said in a deep voice, "King, only if you die, we will have a way to live, you can do it yourself." ”

The atmosphere in the main hall reached the freezing point.

King Taihe slowly bent down, picked up the saber, and suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, if you die alone, you can calm all this, then if you die alone, you will die..."

With that, King Taihe put the knife on his shoulder, ready to kill himself.

It's a pity that at the critical moment, he can't do it.

There were even dense beads of sweat on his forehead.

People are afraid of death.

Those who can decisively commit suicide are less than one in ten.

"Alas..., my lord, since you don't want to cut yourself off, then forget it."

Seeing that Taihe Wang was reluctant to make a move, Si Kou shook his head and sighed.

"Sikou, you..."

Taihe Wang was overjoyed, he thought that General Si Kou was still facing him, but who knew that in the next second, he only felt that a black shadow flashed in front of him, and there was a pain in his abdomen.

It was the general who was holding a sharp blade and had already pierced it through the abdomen.
