Chapter 1270 An unexpected surprise

Qiming City.

Wang Chi's face looked extremely ugly.

He had heard the rumors about Gao Quan a few days ago.

He didn't want to doubt Gao Quan.

For this purpose, he specially sent someone with a talisman to Hukou to reward Gao Quan.

Of course, he also wanted to see if Gao Quan had any intention of being disloyal.

Now, a few days have passed.

The people he sent disappeared without a trace, and there was no news from Hukou either.

Even if he wanted to trust Gao Quan, he now had to doubt whether those rumors were just hearsay or true!

If Gao Quan really had rebellious intentions, in a few days, even if he wanted to surrender the whole country, he probably wouldn't have the chance.

How to do?

Should we continue waiting for news, or send someone to negotiate surrender with the enemy?

Wang Chi was in a state of panic and his head was aching.

He had always dreamed of the throne.

However, when he actually sat on the throne, he realized how hot this position was.

If he were in Akiyama-kun's position, he would have surrendered to the enemy long ago.

But he is now the emperor of the Le Dynasty.

Although he thought about surrendering to the enemy countless times, he was still unwilling to do so!

Gao Quan, the most famous general of the Le Dynasty, was like a life-saving straw to him.

But now, this life-saving straw seems unreliable.

The voice of surrender in my heart appears almost every once in a while.

Moreover, it is getting stronger and stronger.

"Your Majesty, Lord Cui and others have arrived."

Just when Wang Chi was feeling anxious, the eunuch came to report.

"Bring them in!"

Wang Chi took a few deep breaths, trying hard to make himself look less confused and helpless, and trying hard to maintain the dignity of the emperor.

Soon, Cui Jingdao, Li Xian and five other important officials came in led by eunuchs.

After a simple greeting, the king gave them seats and asked them to sit and talk.

The situation was critical, so Wang Chi didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Do you think Gao Quan has any intention of being disloyal?"

Hearing Wang Chi's question, the five people's hearts suddenly skipped a beat.

Then, there was a deep sense of helplessness.

Everyone knew that if Wang Chi still wanted to retain the last glimmer of hope of defeating the enemy, he should not be suspicious of Gao Quan at this time.

But there had been no news from Hukou for such a long time, it was hard for Wang Chi not to be suspicious of Gao Quan.

Moreover, haven't they ever doubted Gao Quan?

"Your Majesty, if General Gao really had rebellious intentions, he would have already marched towards Qiming City..."

After a long time, Li Xian tactfully reminded Wang Chi.

Although Li Xian was somewhat suspicious of Gao Quan, he was willing to choose to believe Gao Quan once.

Wang Chi narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "What if he just hasn't reached an agreement with the enemy yet?"

"This……"

Li Xian opened his mouth slightly and was suddenly speechless.

Wang Chi's words had made him realize that Wang Chi was already very suspicious of Gao Quan.

It is even possible that they have already determined that Gao Quan has rebellious intentions.

In that case, what else can they say?

In the current situation, who can guarantee that Gao Quan has no intention of being disloyal?

Cui Jingdao thought for a moment and suggested: "Your Majesty, you can send someone to negotiate with the enemy in Woyuan first!"

"Surrender?"

Wang Chi asked unwillingly.

"It's just to delay time!"

Cui Jingdao's face was full of bitterness. "It's better to delay for a few days. If there is still no news from Hukou after a few days, perhaps..."

Cui Jingdao didn’t say anything else.

But everyone understood what he meant.

If there is still no news from Hukou after a few days, it can be confirmed that Gao Quan really has rebellious intentions.

At that time, they should truly surrender to the enemy.

Wang Chi was silent.

The rest of the people also fell silent.

Perhaps, this is the last resort.

After a long time, Wang Chi made up his mind, looked up at Cui Jing and said, "If that's the case, then you should personally lead the people to negotiate!"

"..."

Cui Jingdao opened his mouth slightly, and after a long while he gritted his teeth and said, "I obey your order."

……

Fertile plain.

Yun Zheng and Miao Yin were watching with great interest the battle between Wang Qi's 1,000 elite soldiers and Shen Chong's 3,000 elite soldiers selected from the 15,000 Guiyi Army.

After the competition today, I'll take a day off.

We should launch an attack on Wan'an tomorrow.

Their competition was simple.

Both sides were wearing armor, but had no weapons or shields, and they attacked each other directly.

Anyone whose helmet is taken away will be considered dead and will automatically withdraw from the battle.

The three thousand people selected by Shen Chong were all Shen Chong's best soldiers.

It’s not that there are no people stronger than these people, it’s just that these people have received training together, so they are more familiar with each other and have a better understanding of cooperation.

However, unfortunately, they encountered the elite troops of Wang Qi's army.

Yun Zheng didn't brag to Liu Xianghe.

Speaking of infantry alone, the infantry under Wang Qi are definitely the most elite infantry under his command.

These soldiers were all elite warriors who had survived hundreds of battles on the brutal battlefield. Not only did they work in perfect harmony with each other, but their momentum alone was enough to overwhelm the 3,000 men of the Guiyi Army.

As soon as the battle began, Wang Qi's troops demonstrated their powerful offensive capability.

They advanced and retreated in moderation, assisted each other in defense, and were capable of both offense and defense.

The enemy's helmets were taken off one by one, and they withdrew from the battle one by one.

"It seems like there's no suspense anymore."

Miaoyin looked at Yun Zheng from the side.

"There was no suspense!"

Yun Zheng smiled, "If Wang Qi and the others lose, I won't let them off!"

His move was to show the enemy the strength of his own troops, to make the enemy aware of the gap in strength between them, and thus to deter the enemy.

If Wang Qi and the others lost, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face?

Just as the two were talking and laughing, a guard suddenly ran over and whispered in Yun Zheng's ear.

"Okay, I understand! Let them wait for a while."

Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, signaling the guards to retreat.

"what happened?"

Miaoyin asked in a low voice: "Looking at you like this, do you have good news?"

Yun Zheng nodded and smiled: "The Eighteen Ghost Riders have captured Gao Quan's son, and You Jiu has sent a few people to bring him to Woyuan as quickly as possible."

The son of a powerful person?

Miaoyin's eyes suddenly widened.

"Is this... a pleasant surprise?"

Miaoyin knew that Yun Zheng just wanted to cut off the connection between Hukou and Qiming City.

He never thought that he could catch Gao Quan's son.

"Of course it counts!"

Yun Zheng's face was full of smiles. "Let's watch their competition first! After watching their competition, we'll go meet this guy!"

Although there was no suspense in this competition from the beginning, Yun Zheng was determined to watch it to the end.

However, his mind is no longer on the competition.

The son of Gao Quan!

He originally wanted to make the new emperor of the Le Dynasty suspicious of Gao Quan. Now that Gao Quan's son is in their hands, he has to think carefully to see if there is any way to make use of Gao Quan's son.

If used properly, it may be possible to prove that Gao Quan has rebellious intentions.

Yun Zheng's eyes were still fixed on the martial arts arena, but his thoughts had long since drifted off to who knows where...
