Chapter 2475 Guan Zhuo's Response

The imperial capital was in chaos, completely in chaos!

After realizing that the imperial capital could be attacked by the rebels from the neighboring city to the south at any time, and that the city was completely unable to resist, the officials in the imperial capital were afraid and panicked.

They also cherished their lives, which was no different from Zhao Lun. Now Zhao Lun ran away because of fear, how could they not be afraid? They didn't have more lives than Zhao Lun.

If Zhao Lun was still there, they might still hesitate and dare not escape, but now that Zhao Lun himself ran away, why didn't they run away and stay in the city to die?

Therefore, after knowing the reason for Zhao Lun's escape, many officials also returned to the mansion and ordered their families to pack their luggage and valuables and prepare to flee the imperial capital.

And these actions of theirs were also spread through the mouths of the servants in the mansion. The news that the rebels were about to attack the imperial capital and that the emperor and ministers had already fled the imperial capital began to spread in the city, and the news spread very quickly.

After the people learned of this news, they were naturally very scared. Many people wanted to flee the imperial capital immediately. The emperor and ministers had already given up, so what were they still doing here? Waiting to die?

As more and more people packed their bags and wanted to flee the imperial capital, the entire imperial capital fell into greater chaos. The streets were full of people and carriages, crowded together, and it looked chaotic.

The guards and yamen runners that were usually seen everywhere did not appear at this time, which made the people more certain of the authenticity of the news they had heard before. As a result, they were more afraid and panicked.

Of course, not all officials and people chose to escape at this time. There were still many loyal and righteous people among the officials and people, and Guan Zhuo was one of them.

The news of Zhao Lun's escape had spread throughout the city. Guan Zhuo could not have been unaware of it. At the beginning, he did not believe it, but as more news came later, he had to believe this incredible news.

But after knowing that Zhao Lun had escaped and the reason for his escape, Guan Zhuo did not leave. Not only did he not leave, he also contacted and persuaded other officials not to leave. He knew very well that the imperial capital at this time needed them to stay more than ever.

Guan Zhuo certainly knew the risks of staying, but he still did not flee. Many officials, including Qi Kai, also chose to stay under his persuasion.

Qi Kai looked at Guan Zhuo and said with a wry smile: "I am now completely on your ship. Do you think we can defend the imperial capital?"

Guan Zhuo's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, we can! The imperial capital has never been breached since its establishment. It has never been breached before, and it will never be breached in the future!"

"But what can we defend with?" Qi Kai asked: "You also know the emptiness in the city. Even if we have the will, we are powerless."

"Without the garrison, we still have the people. There are millions of people in the city. As long as they unite, we can defend the imperial capital even if the rebels come." Guan Zhuo said.

"People? They are running fast, too. Your Majesty has already fled. Are the people willing to stay?" Qi Kai said, "If Your Majesty has already fled, what's the point of us staying?"

Qi Kai's words made Guan Zhuo's face even uglier. He said, "We stay for this city, for the people here, and for the country of our Yanfeng country."

At this point, Guan Zhuo paused and continued, "So, we stay, not because of Your Majesty, and through this incident, we are more certain that Your Majesty is not trustworthy, and that our previous choice is not wrong, isn't it?"

Qi Kai was silent for a while and did not speak immediately.

However, in his heart, he still agreed with what Guan Zhuo said. Zhao Lun's behavior this time was considered to have completely hurt the hearts of the ministers in the court. Originally, the ministers might have had some expectations for him, but now, no one would believe him.

An emperor who can abandon his ministers and people, and even the country at any time, is not worthy of any trust.

"What should we do now?" Qi Kai asked.

Since he had been persuaded by Guan Zhuo to stay, Guan Zhuo naturally did not want to die here.

"Convince more ministers and people to stay here!" Guan Zhuo said in a deep voice: "As long as we defend this place, we will win!"

At this point, Guan Zhuo paused again and said: "I don't believe that so many defeated soldiers outside the city will choose to surrender to the rebels in the neighboring city to the south."

"Why?" Qi Kai asked: "Is it because of Wu Fan?"

Before, Wu Fan had told them that he would go outside the city to subdue those defeated soldiers.

Guan Zhuo nodded and said, "Yes, it's because of Wu Fan, of course, it's not all because of Wu Fan."

"You have to know that those defeated soldiers are all troops stationed in the imperial capital for a long time. Their recognition of the imperial capital and the court is much higher than that of ordinary troops. How could they surrender to the rebels so easily?"

"In addition, there is Wu Fan." Guan Zhuo said, "There is no news from him until now. There should be no unexpected situation. Otherwise, he would have notified us long ago. So, I guess there must be some misunderstanding here, which led to the current situation."

Qi Kai thought about it, nodded, and said, "Yes, this matter is indeed a bit strange. Everything happened too suddenly. It seems that it has not been confirmed that those defeated soldiers surrendered to the rebels. They went to the southern neighboring city, which may not be to surrender to the rebels. There is another possibility."

"Attack Nanlin City and take back control of Nanlin City!" Guan Zhuo continued.

Qi Kai nodded.

This is indeed a possibility, and the reason why they thought of this possibility, in addition to their trust in those defeated soldiers, is their trust in Wu Fan.

Although the two did not have much contact with Wu Fan, Wu Fan gave them a very trustworthy feeling. Since the two decided to form an alliance with Wu Fan, their trust in Wu Fan has become stronger.

Since the incident, Wu Fan has not sent back any news, which makes Qi Kai and Guan Zhuo's judgment of the situation outside the city different from others.

"Should we contact Wu Fan now?" Qi Kai asked.

"Contacting Wu Fan is one aspect." Guan Zhuo said: "More importantly, we need to stabilize the hearts of the ministers and the people in the city and restore the city to normal. However, now the news of His Majesty's escape has been presented noisily, and we can no longer convince those people with our words alone." BIqupai.c0m

"What should we do?"

"It's time for the Seventh Princess to come out to stabilize the situation!" Guan Zhuo said in a deep voice.
