Chapter 1361 Must continue the performance

"Yes... yes." The soldier who came to deliver the message replied while panting.

"It's over, it's over!" Zhao Guangzhi did not immediately rush to the outside of the city to greet them, but walked around anxiously, muttering to himself: "How could this happen? Why did the Shuiyue Kingdom's army come? Didn't our Heishui Kingdom have some conflicts with Shuiyue Kingdom recently? Why did they come? Moreover, it was actually Yelu Hongfei who led the team in person?"

The fact that Yelu Hongfei led the team to rush to the rescue caught Zhao Guangzhi off guard and made him panic for a while.

This was completely different from what he had expected before!

Originally, Zhao Guangzhi thought that if he asked Qi Feng for help, the troops that came to support him must be the army of their Black Water Country. Their Black Water Country had just suffered a great defeat at Shanling Pass not long ago, and there were not many troops left. Qi Feng could only send a limited number of troops to support them. At that time, he could put on a good show in front of the army that came to support him. Not only could he cover up his false military information, but he could also gain some credit and maybe even get a reward from Qi Feng.

But the current situation is not like this. The supporters did come, but they were not the army of their Black Water Country, but the army of Shuiyue Country!

As for their Black Water Country's army, Zhao Guangzhi was confident that he could fool them and play this show well, because their Black Water Country's army had been scared by the Nanping Country's army and did not dare to approach the "Nanping Country's army" outside the city. He could easily play this show well.

But it was the army of Shuiyue Country, that was different. The army of Shuiyue Country was not so easy to fool, not to mention that the leader was actually their second prince, a person who had a high status in Shuiyue Country, was quite favored by Yelu Zong, and wanted to make merit and seize the throne. It was not so easy to fool Yelu Hongfei.

The army of Shuiyue Country would not listen to Zhao Guangzhi, and Yelu Hongfei was even less likely to listen to his "suggestions". Moreover, the army of Shuiyue Country was not afraid of the army of Nanping Country.

If the army of Shuiyue Country insisted on rushing out of the city, Zhao Guangzhi would not be able to stop it.

"General, what should we do now?" One of Zhao Guangzhi's generals asked with a worried look on his face.

At this time, there were many generals in the pass next to Zhao Guangzhi. After hearing the news from the soldier, their faces were very ugly. They all understood that there was an accident in this matter, and something they did not expect had happened. If things went wrong, the future of these people would be ruined here.

"The army of Shuiyue Kingdom is not so easy to fool, and Yelu Hongfei is not a person who is easy to fool. Otherwise, let's just tell the truth. It's better to tell it voluntarily than to be discovered, right?"

"No! We must not tell the truth! If we tell the truth, not only will we be severely punished by His Majesty, but the second prince of Shuiyue Kingdom will not let us off easily. They came from Shuiyue Kingdom with great difficulty, but they found out that this was a scam. What will they think? What will the second prince think?"

"Yes, because they had a royal family member who died in Shanling Pass before, their emperor already had an opinion about our Black Water Kingdom. If they knew, we would have deceived them again, although we didn't intend to deceive them at the beginning. They, but they won't care so much. They will be even more angry at that time. No one knows how they will react. "

"I also think that we can't tell the truth. What kind of temper does Yelu Hongfei have? We have all met him. He is definitely not a good-tempered person. If he knows that he has been deceived, he will probably get angry on the spot. At that time, he may chop off our heads. Your Majesty will not be able to intercede for us."

"Yes, yes."

...

The generals talked with worried faces. Everyone had similar ideas, that is, they must not let the people of Shuiyue know that they had deceived them, otherwise, the consequences would be very serious, not to mention that they would have to bear Qi Feng's anger.

Zhao Guangzhi's face became more and more gloomy. His mood was the heaviest among all people. At this time, he even felt a sense of suffocation.

Among these people, he was the one with the highest position, and he was the one who first proposed the scam. If the matter was exposed in the end, he would definitely be the one who was punished the most severely. The impact of the defeat at Shanling Pass had not been completely eliminated. Qi Feng was angry because of the defeat at Shanling Pass and the defeat in Shuiyue Country. If he knew at this time that he had deceived him and deceived him about the attack of Nanping Country, he would definitely not forgive himself. It was possible that he would chop off his head in anger.

At this time, Zhao Guangzhi was extremely regretful. When he found out that it was a false alarm, he should have honestly admitted it to Qi Feng. If he admitted it at that time, at most he would be scolded and fined a little salary. After all, he made such a mistake because he attached too much importance to the defense of Yangyu Pass.

However, he was out of his mind at that time. In order to avoid punishment and even greedy for the credit, he chose to continue to conceal it. As a result, the matter has become irreversible and he is in danger of losing his head. He really regrets it.

Can't say it, absolutely can't say it!

This play must go on!

Thinking of this, Zhao Guangzhi's face became firm. He had no other choice. This play must go on.

"Stop talking." Zhao Guangzhi said loudly: "No matter who comes, this drama must continue, otherwise, we will all be finished. Although the people of Shuiyue Kingdom are not so easy to fool, they are not completely impossible to fool. Send more people out of the city to create a bigger scene. The people of Shuiyue Kingdom only came more than 30,000 people this time. Although they are brave and good at fighting, they will definitely be cautious when facing an enemy that is ten times their own. As long as they don't leave the city, this matter will not be exposed. However, you all be careful and don't reveal the secrets in front of those people of Shuiyue Kingdom, understand?"

"Yes, General!" Everyone responded in unison.

Although the worries in everyone's hearts have not decreased by half, they also understand that they can only do this now, otherwise, their official careers and even their lives will inevitably be affected.

"Now, let's go together to welcome the second prince of Shuiyue Kingdom and the army he brought." Zhao Guangzhi looked at everyone and said.

Yelu Hongfei has not entered the city, obviously waiting for them to greet him. Facing the second prince of Shuiyue Kingdom, Zhao Guangzhi and others naturally cannot neglect it.

Afterwards, Zhao Guangzhi led his generals to the outside of the Great Wall to meet Yelu Hongfei and others who were waiting there.
