Chapter 552: No Way Out

"Scaremongering!" Before Li Jipeng's words fell, Prime Minister Duan Feiyu sternly refuted, "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter should be based on facts.

First of all, the Yaozu had previously promised that after destroying the Aoyun Empire, they would stop. And during the Yaozu's attack on the Aoyun Empire, the Yaozu passed through our border countless times, but they never committed any crime.

This is enough to show the sincerity of Yaozu.

Secondly, the root cause of the Yaozu's declaration of war this time is because Huangfu Ming sent troops without authorization, not to mention saving the enemies of the Yaozu, but killing many Yaozu's people.

Judging from these two points, no matter whether Yaozu has ambitions or not, at least we don't have any reason.

Therefore, Chen believes that we should first apologize to the Yaozu, and see if there is a way to make up for the loss of the Yaozu, and let the Yaozu withdraw their troops to eliminate the military disaster. "

Taiwei Li Jipeng snorted coldly, "What if the Yaozu don't accept it?"

"Kill Huangfuming!" Prime Minister Duan Feiyu said the cruelest decision with a grim tone.

In this way, the Emperor of the Canglan Empire couldn't help it anymore, "Prime Minister, according to what you mean, if the Yaozu accepts the negotiation, we will hand over Huangfu Ming to the Yaozu, obviously there will be no way out.

And if the Yaozu refuses to negotiate, do we still have to kill Huangfuming? why?

If the Yaozu refuses to negotiate, then Huangfuming is a rare commander in the empire! "

"Your Majesty, if the monster clan refuses to negotiate, it will mean a tragic war. At that time, people will inevitably die. As the chief culprit who caused the monster clan to declare war, Huangfu Ming must give the world an explanation. Similarly, His Majesty also needs to use Huangfu Ming Calm the anger of the people!"

The hall was very quiet, no one spoke. But the heavy breathing seemed to indicate a raging dark wave.

After a long silence, Taiwei Li Jipeng said: "Huangfuming is a rare and handsome talent in the empire. Killing one Huangfuming is equivalent to abolishing 30% of the empire's combat power!"

"But if killing Huangfu Ming can calm the anger of the people and allow the people to fight side by side, then Huangfu Ming deserves to die.

What's more, since ancient times, the times have created heroes, and the people have never lacked capable people. As long as the war continues, as long as His Majesty issues an order to seek talents, countless capable people will naturally appear and gather around His Majesty. "

Li Jipeng was furious: "Your Majesty, no! Huangfu Ming has a high prestige, and this time he is saving lives bravely. No matter what, Huangfu Ming cannot be killed. Otherwise, the morale of the army will be scattered. At that time, the whole country will have no ambition to fight to the death, and will not have the will to die." !"

In the court hall, all the officials looked at the Prime Minister and the Taiwei. What they both said made sense, and for a while, everyone didn't know how to make a choice.

The prime minister sneered, "It's true that Huangfuming has a high prestige, but Huangfuming doesn't know how to cherish it, and instead embraces his own self-respect. He doesn't even need a soldier's talisman to mobilize the army. It's just normal. If a large-scale war breaks out, Huangfuming won't listen to it." What about Xuan?"

These words were harsh enough, almost to say--the master is overwhelmed, Huangfu clearly has the power to rebel!

Li Jipeng was dumbfounded, but he still didn't want to give up, "But... Huangfuming can definitely be punished for his crimes. Huangfuming really can't be killed! Otherwise, the morale of the whole country will be disturbed!"

The emperor of the Canglan Empire frowned upon hearing this. It was an indisputable fact that Huangfu Minggong was a master; but it was also a fact that Huangfu Ming could not be killed. If Huangfu Ming were really to be killed, the morale of the entire army would surely collapse.

This is really a dilemma.

The prime minister smiled faintly, and said quietly: "What if it is suicide?"

Click! It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck the hearts of the Emperor Canglan Empire, Li Jipeng the Taiwei, and everyone else.

After a short pause, Prime Minister Duan Feiyu continued: "Your Majesty, let's first send someone to negotiate with the Yaozu to see if the Yaozu is willing to accept the apology and cease the war.

If not, then we can only order a nationwide war of resistance. We cannot become the second Aoyun Empire.

But no matter what, on the surface this war was caused by Huangfu Ming, so Huangfu Ming had to die. Only when Huangfuming died, could the people calm down their anger; only after Huangfuming died, could His Majesty command the three armies.

But Huang Fuming cannot die at the hands of His Majesty. Only by letting Huangfu Ming commit suicide can all problems be solved. "

This... the emperor hesitated. Make people commit suicide? Who wants to!

Prime Minister Duan Feiyu seemed to be lamenting, "Your Majesty, let me handle this matter."

The emperor of the Canglan Empire nodded slightly. Huangfuming's fate was also drawn to an end. The Taiwei Li Jipeng next to him opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word. Two successive hats of high achievement and mastery, obedience and disobedience, Huangfu will die if he is not dead!

Before leaving, the Prime Minister added a few more words: "To show His Majesty's kindness, Your Majesty, please temporarily put the remnants of the Aoyun Empire and members of the Huangfu family under house arrest, and ensure that they will not be harmed."

The emperor of the Canglan Empire nodded slightly, but did not speak.

After the prime minister exited the hall, he went straight to Huangfu's family and found Huangfuming.

After serving the tea, waved it back and forth, only Prime Minister Duan Feiyu and Huangfu Ming were left in the living room. The smile slipped from Duan Feiyu's face, and a little "pity" emerged: "Brother Huangfu, do you know your current situation?"

Huangfu Ming seemed unmoved, and answered irrelevant questions: "It's easy to calculate."

The prime minister looked at Huangfuming quietly, and after a while, he slowly took out a small box from his body and pushed it to the middle of the table. "Brother Huangfu, we have known each other for many years, you know who I am.

For the sake of this country, I lost my reputation. In the future, I will definitely be a treacherous minister with a bad reputation, and future generations will be ashamed of me.

However, there are some things that always need to be done.

The human race has been at peace for a long time, and the whole country does not want war. And His Majesty is actually the one who fears war the most.

But now, we can't change the emperor. Therefore, I can only force the emperor to make the determination to fight to the death.

And don't look at the generals clamoring for war. If a mortal war is really going to break out, these people will probably take the lead in running for their lives.

You don't have to doubt my judgment. I am not as good as you in military affairs, but you are not as good as me in terms of grasping and observing the country and grasping people's hearts.

If I want the empire to bravely resist the invasion of the monster race, then I can only completely cut off your majesty's retreat. Forcing His Majesty to go to a decisive battle! "

Huangfu Ming lowered his eyes, slowly reached out to pick up the box on the table, and stuffed it into his bosom. He asked calmly, "Time."

"Three days later! After the representatives who failed to negotiate with the Yaozu returned to the imperial capital."

"good."

Prime Minister Duan Feiyu sighed and drank the tea in one gulp, "Your family, don't worry."

Then get up and leave.

…………

Time flew by, and three days passed quickly, and the people from the Canglan Empire who went to negotiate failed. The Yaozu finally found an excuse, so how could they just let it go. A large number of monster races began to march on the border of the Canglan Empire, and many monster races were still stained with human blood.

When the news of the failure of the negotiation came, Huangfu Ming opened the box and drank the poison inside. That night, Huangfuming, the military god of the Canglan Empire and a master of the transformation stage, passed away and passed away. The country's military power was peacefully transferred to the hands of the Canglan Emperor.

The Huangfu family has never been seen from top to bottom, but few people came to express their condolences. On the contrary, many people blamed Huangfu Ming for meddling in his own business and causing trouble!

With the help of this "credit", the Prime Minister Duan Feiyu began to take over the country's military management in an all-round way, and the Canglan Empire also learned the lesson of the Aoyun Empire's destruction, and the whole country began to take action.

It's just that it's a bit late to start acting now, isn't it? The endless army of the Yaozu has reached the border!

Just as the Canglan Empire was preparing for battle, the Yaozu brazenly launched an attack. Millions of monster clans, big and small, broke through the border defenses of the Canglan Empire in just one day. The strong border Great Wall was torn apart by the crazy dragons, and less than 10,000 troops escaped from the border of the Canglan Empire.

Duan Longquan also fled for his life in a state of embarrassment, no longer caring about elegance.

The Canglan Empire is in a complete emergency!

………………

Jingle...jingle...the cheerful sound of horse bells echoed in the valley. The horses pulling the cart snorted and moved forward leisurely, stopping from time to time to nibble a few wild flowers.

Zhang Quan drove the carriage forward leisurely. Another half month passed, and Zhang Quan and his party traveled through four more countries.

Today, Zhang has the noble seals of six countries and the seals of four countries on his body. Xiang Bowen and Zhang Yuan are not bad either.

Later, Zhang Quan also accepted two wholehearted disciples.

What he was going to now was the imperial capital of the Zhongshan Kingdom, surrounded by 5,000 elite escorts.

It's just that Zhang Quan was not in a very relaxed mood at this time, because in the past half a month, Zhang Quan discovered that all the countries along the way were affected by the previous inexplicable force. This time the impact is so widespread.

"What the hell is it?" Zhang Quan always dared not and did not want to admit a certain ridiculous guess.
