Outside the city gate, the atmosphere was tense. Even if the military discipline was followed, many soldiers had objected at this moment, and some even couldn't help but rush to the city gate and slapped the city gate.

"Open the door!"

...

"Master, what should we do?"

Tan Yi was anxious and couldn't help looking back at the direction of the rebels, for fear that the other party would fight back when they saw them being turned away. By then, the city might not have sent troops to help them.

"How about we!" Escape...

The thoughts that were so rebellious in my heart came out were interrupted by Xiao Jiu.

"Talking about righteousness!"

Xiao Jiu called out in a voice.

"Here!" Tan Yi hurriedly bowed his hand.

"Whoever sings loudly, let them all sing and know how to dance, dance now!"

"No quarrel, no quarrel, no quarrel, and no slap the city gate!"

After Xiao Jiu came up with a series of orders, Tan Yi couldn't help but be stunned. Then he slowly realized Xiao Jiu's profound meaning and quickly arranged it.

After a while, the people in the city heard the sound of singing and dancing outside the city, and were curious.

When Gongsun Fang heard the song, he was stunned at first, and then laughed, "Ha... I'm so anxious."

If it was not impossible to take it as a use, even he wanted to take Xiao Jiu as a general of the Gongsun family.

Gongsun Sheng also heard the singing outside the city gate, and understood that Xiao Jiu was saving himself and delaying time.

He took a deep breath, suddenly turned around and left, his eyes firmly.

Seeing him walking into the city, the head of the Gongsun family was stunned.

"where did you go?"

Gongsun Sheng stopped for a moment, and did not look back. He said loudly, "Son, go and ask that person, how did Xiao Jiu offend him! Also, ask the king, why should Xiao Jiu die?"

I also asked all the civil and military officials of the court why they watched him die when Xiao Jiu and his men fought with their bloody battles?

After Gongsun Sheng finished speaking, he shouted in the direction of the city gate.

"Xiao Jiu, when Brother Wei enters the palace, ask the king clearly and let you enter the city! You have to wait for this young master!"

"Sheng'er! Come back!"

The head of the Gongsun family was shocked and hurriedly wanted to chase him.

Gongsun Sheng had already turned over a horse and without waiting for anyone to stop him, he swung the horse and drove the horse away.

"Hey!" Gongsun Fang was angry and anxious, and took people to chase him.

Xiao Jiu, who was outside the city gate, heard the sound, and felt aroused, and smiled on his face, answered through the closed city gate, "Okay! I'll wait!"

"Fortunately, there is still Young Master Gongsun who can help. I just hope he can convince the king to open the city gate as soon as possible..."

Tan Yi's mood has improved a little, but Gongsun Sheng's words are believed and he will do what he says.

Xiao Jiu nodded, "I hope..."

However, what he was thinking was, could Gongsun Sheng really convince Zhou Wuxi to let them in?

He could not understand the reason why Zhou Wuxi wanted to let him die. The sudden killing of this situation made people feel uneasy.

The military flag was fluttering, and the singing outside the city continued. The Tenglong Army's pretended relaxed attitude really confused the rebels, at least for the time being, hiding them from Yang Guosi.

But Xiao Jiu knew very well that such a fool would not last long, so he had to find a way to save himself.

On the martial law street, only a few pedestrians passed by, and on the empty road, two horses galloped towards the direction of the palace.

Gongsun Sheng had never been afraid of anyone, nor did he look at these dirty tricks. He came into the palace just to seek justice for Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu and the Xiao family army should not have ended up like this!

"drive!"

He rode his horse all the way, and no matter how the people behind him shouted, he would not look back. The guards at the gate of the palace knew him and did not dare to stop him when he saw him in a hurry.

Gongsun Sheng broke into the hall where court officials discussed affairs.

The heavy hall door was pushed open, and Gongsun Sheng walked in and asked loudly.

"My minister Gongsun Sheng, on behalf of Xiao Jiu and thousands of soldiers outside the city, came to question the king's will."

Gongsun Sheng knelt straight in the middle of the hall, facing Zhou Wuxi, his tiger eyes were as heavy as sharp arrows, and his figure was agile and straight.

The quiet atmosphere in the hall was broken.

Gongsun Sheng looked directly at the king in front of the head and asked in a deep voice: "Thousands of people were enemies of tens of thousands, without reinforcements, without food and grass. They slept in front of the enemy's formation and used a rolling knife and blunt weapon. How can they fight? How can they win if they fight! I would like to ask the king..."

"Is there no one in the court? Is there no soldiers in the city? How can loyal ministers end up being isolated and helpless and die under the city?"

"Is it possible for all the scholars and officials to sit and watch others fight bloody battles and ignore them?"

The entire hall was quiet, and Gongsun Sheng's questioning seemed to pierce into the heart, echoing in everyone's ears over and over again.

The breathing sound is clearly heard. After the deathly silence, people in groups of three come to their senses, either angry, ashamed, or silent.

Someone got up and shouted, "You are arrogant!"

"Which child is this? How dare you speak wildly!"

"Come here, why don't you drag this guy out!"

The person who said this probably did not recognize Gongsun Sheng's identity. Sure enough, a sound suddenly sounded outside the hall.

"Who wants to drag my son out!"

The man walked in with military uniform and strides in big steps. His calm voice seemed to be angry and threatened. He took off his sword and threw it to the palace servant at the door.

The people inside the hall turned around and looked outside the hall. After they recognized the person, many people were shocked.

"General Gongsun?!"

"That's the head of the Gongsun family?"

The Gongsun family has lived in Pingqiu, Liang, and Gongsun Fang has rarely set foot in Kyoto over the years. Many people only heard of the Gongsun family’s reputation, but have never seen the head of the Gongsun family himself.

Many people were talking about it for a while.

"My minister, Gongsun Fang pays homage to the king."

The man walked to Gongsun Sheng, bowed to Zhou Wuxi, who was in the upper head and bowed, glanced lightly at his son kneeling on the ground, and quietly withdrew his gaze.

"Your dear is not a gift."

Zhou Wuxi raised her hand, with a little bit of embarrassment and anger on her face. From the heart, he certainly didn't want Xiao Jiu to die. At least Xiao Jiu is still useful to him now, right?

pity……

Just as he was thinking, his eyes were aimed at the old man standing at the first place on the right.

The old man was wearing a red-bottomed official uniform and a silver silk combed with meticulous style. He was the most upright and dignified.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Wuping, who was kneeling below, begged, "Brother Wang, Xiao Shang is loyal and must not be broken under the city!"

His voice was anxious, his heart and eyes were full of worry.

From the morning court, the attack on Xiao Jiu was caught off guard. The court officials led by Wei Xihe suddenly joined forces and tried to kill Xiao Jiu, who insisted on leaving Xiao Jiu outside the city to fight the enemy alone. Isn’t this trying to die?

If Zhou Wuxi did not agree, they would not give up, which made it difficult for both Zhou Wuping and Zhou Wuxi to resist.

"this……"

Zhou Wuxi looked in distress.

On the one hand, he was the brothers he trusted and the generals who had made contributions to him; on the other hand, he was the civil and military officials of the court led by Wei Xihe.

But this is no longer the time when Zhou Wuxi can make a decision based on her own ideas.

"King."

Wei Xihe bowed his hands with a calm expression, knelt in front of the hall, staring at the three people in front of him, and called out again, "General Gongsun, and Young Master Gongsun."

"If he is truly a loyal minister and a good general, how can I ignore him?"

Wei Xihe said slowly, his expression was calm, polite and polite, but his eyes were cold, as if he was saying that they were all deceived.

"Yang Guosi endured for several years and did not make a comeback. Once the rebellion was rebellious, it almost caused our king to fall into crisis. However, although Xiao Jiu was only a young man, his ambitions and cunning were not weaker than Yang Guosi, and he might also be a big trouble in the future."

Gongsun Sheng frowned, not believing in his style.

"Wei Guowei, you should speak truthfully. Is there any evidence that Xiao Jiu wants to rebel?"

Gongsun Sheng didn't believe it, and didn't believe that Xiao Jiu really wanted to rebel.

Sure enough, the old man slowly shook his head, "No."

"He doesn't rebel now, but it doesn't mean he won't rebel in the future."

Ha...this means that everything is Wei Xihe's speculation. If you don't know the reason, you will be killed by a young general without any reason!
