The siege of the city for more than ten days made the Zhuge brothers in the city exhausted. I thought Meng Yan would persuade him to surrender after a few days. But the current situation is that not only does not, but the soldiers and horses outside the city seem to have taken medicine every day.

He continued to attack the city and was very excited.

"Brother, today another soldier in Nancheng has climbed over the wall and defected to the thief." Zhuge Xingyu said powerlessly.

I don’t know which group of people this is. In addition to more than 30,000 casualties, nearly 50,000 people secretly went outside the city to seek refuge with Meng Yan, which made Zhuge Xingchen feel that the end of the world is coming.

Zhuge Xingchen's persistence in his heart was gradually longing for Meng Yan to send someone to discuss the city offering with him, but Meng Yan seemed to have no idea. The hundreds of thousands of troops in the Western Palace did not make any movement except for siege.

As New Year's Eve approaches, the merchants and people in the city are becoming more and more ill-treated. The reputation of Wuhou in the past can no longer cover up the anger of the people towards Zhuge. Zhuge Xingchen was wondering if he could still hold on until the New Year?

Is Zhuge, who has inherited thousands of people, really going to be destroyed in his own hands?

Gu Qingfeng was accompanied by Gu Xifeng on the mountain outside the city and watched the scene of siege. Gu Xifeng had completely changed, and the hatred in his heart was slowly fading away.

"Brother, have you not participated in the bet?" Gu Qingfeng asked softly.

"Today I am the commander of my brother. I will come here to accompany you if I have nothing to do." Gu Xifeng seemed to have something to say, but it was difficult to say.

"Brother, are you doing something?" Gu Qingfeng knew Gu Xifeng too well. He was not the kind of person who was looking for trouble without any trouble.

"A few days ago, the prince's attitude was already very clear. Although it was not made public, holding you to show intimacy directly in front of everyone is equivalent to expressing his attitude of marrying you."

"Uh," Gu Qingfeng blushed at first, then looked at Gu Xifeng with a close eye and said, "Brother, do you think there is something wrong?"

"Yes, my brother and I naturally support it, but Marshal Ye and Qingshuai's reaction was very weak. Even Quartz and Yu Geng didn't have much surprise. Except for Su Qing and Jin Qian's clear statement, no one else was wrong.

Passionate." Gu Xifeng was worried that his sister would not be recognized by the people of the Western Palace.

"This is my relationship with the prince, it is a family matter. I don't care about their attitude." Gu Qingfeng was rarely stubborn.

"Qingfeng, don't lie to yourself. The prince is not an ordinary family. You are not unclear about the meaning of the mistress of the Western Palace. Your identity and the prince are too complicated." Gu Xifeng said worriedly.

"Brother means that I want to marry the prince and I need their consent, right?" Gu Qingfeng was unhappy. She did know what the mistress of the West Mansion was, and also understood what these people were thinking, but she just wanted to be with the prince.

Is this wrong with being together?

Seeing Gu Qingfeng getting angry, Gu Xifeng was a little embarrassed and hesitated for a moment and said, "I have discussed with my brother that as long as you and the prince are sincere, we can give up the military power."

Gu Qingfeng was very sad when he heard the sacrifice of his brothers. He didn't know what to say. It was impossible to give up the prince, but if the two brothers gave up their military power, it would be equivalent to being unable to gain a foothold in the Western Palace.

"I don't agree to let go of military power!" Meng Yan's voice came from behind, powerful and loud.

The two brothers and sisters turned around and saw Meng Yan coming with Shi Ying and his wife. Meng Yan first walked to Gu Qingfeng and hugged her shoulders to show comfort, and then squinted his eyes and said, "You are Qingfeng's brothers, and I am willing to sacrifice for Qingfeng.

Thank you, but have you ever thought about it? Because Qingfeng wants to marry me, you will delegate power, so that Qingfeng will live in the future. I don’t want her to live unhappy.”

"Prince forgive me! Gu's identity is awkward, and my brother and I are also worried about my sister." Gu Xifeng said respectfully.

Meng Yan held his salute and said frankly: "I set up a Civil Affairs Institute in Xifu to tell the people of the world that I am not fighting for power and profit, but only that the people live and work in peace. After Haoyue left, Qingfeng knew the affection for me very well.

Qingfeng is doing things in Mingjiansi because she has this talent. Qingfeng will not become their bargaining chip for power, do you understand?"

Gu Xifeng was a little ashamed, but there was no way. Whether it was the royal family or aristocratic family in all dynasties, marriage was just an exchange of interests. They came from aristocratic families and were influenced by this since childhood.

"Brother Gu, it is my promise to marry Qingfeng after entering Chengdu. This will not change. As for you who want to give up the military power, I don't agree. If you brothers insist on doing so, please inform the Military Affairs Office in accordance with the normal procedures."

Yan saw Gu Xifeng's concerns. He hated such a conversation with interests. After saying that, he pulled Gu Qingfeng and left.

After Meng Yan left, Su Qing stepped forward and said, "General Gu, the prince has always been clear about public and private affairs. Some things are not that complicated. You think Gu's identity is awkward. I came from Zhong. It is not unrelated to me that the previous princess was assassinated.

, Am I going to die? The prince once said that interactions between people are exchanged with care, not interests."

Gu Xifeng was stunned. Could it be that he was really wrong?

"Although I don't want Miss Qingfeng to be our mistress in the West Mansion, the prince's choice is her, and we will not object. Do you think that if everyone in the West Mansion refuses if they don't express their opinions?" Quartz's words didn't sound nice.

"Isn't it?" Gu Xifeng retorted.

"Ha! Then you are really thinking too much. Don't you usually read the notifications from various places? Or are you picking up the government notifications from Mingjiansi and the Civil Affairs Institute?" Shi Ying said mockingly, and was pulled away by Su Qing after he said that.

, leaving only Gu Xifeng in the cold wind.

Gu Xifeng really has no habit of reading government affairs notifications. He thinks that military information notifications are crucial. Government affairs notifications are unnecessary and he is not an official in the local area. What does government affairs have to do with him?

A golden sound of withdrawing troops sounded and pulled Gu Xifeng back to reality. Seeing the army slowly retreating back to the camp, it seemed that today's siege was over.

When Gu Xifeng returned to the camp, he heard Yu Geng cursing loudly. It was probably because he had nothing to gain today. Yu Geng saw Gu Xifeng and said loudly: "I said General Gu, you will hide from leisure, it is better for our two armies to play together tomorrow.

Is that good?"

Gu Xifeng smiled bitterly and said, "General Yu, siege is not my strong point, I will not get involved in the military flag."

"Born! Boring! Very boring, you are as boring as Gu Yanfeng." Yu Geng said dissatisfiedly, and then when he saw Tong Yan behind him, Yu Geng excitedly met him and didn't know what to say, but looking at Tong Yan's helpless look, he looked at Tong Yan's helpless look.

I know it's not a happy thing.

Gu Xifeng walked back to his tent and saw that Gu Yanfeng's armor had been removed. It seemed that he had come back long ago. Gu Yanfeng looked at Gu Xifeng with a listless expression and said with a smile: "Have you hit a wall? I've said that Qingfeng would not agree.

”

"No, the prince heard my conversation with Qingfeng, and was ridiculed by the Quartz couple." Gu Xifeng said while taking off his armor, "Brother, where is the political report in our army in addition to military newspapers?"

Gu Yanfeng smiled and said, "I asked you to see you before, but why are you interested now? Do you want to be an official in Li Jun?"

"I can't be an official, my brother can do it. Quartz raised his mouth and I wanted to see it. It's nothing wrong anyway, right?"

"Okay, I know what you want to see," Gu Yanfeng said as he pulled out a notice from the table and threw it to him, and then said: "Mr. Zhuo has already asked someone to prepare for the wedding. Do you want to see it?

Is this?"

It was still very embarrassing to be seen. After reading the notice, he said embarrassedly: "It turns out that the prince has already started to make arrangements."

"The incident in Chengdu was just around the New Year and after the New Year. Zhuge Xingchen had sent an envoy, but the prince did not come forward, it was received by Marshal Ye. So I did not object to the fact that you told me that you would give up military power. Now I understand the Western Palace

Where is it?" Gu Yanfeng said with a smile.

"Their attitude is too calm. I thought our existence would cause trouble to Qingfeng. They are too bad!" Gu Xifeng said dissatisfied.

"That's because you don't understand Xifu. Maybe everyone will complain about Qingfeng being the mistress of Xifu, but it's just about the matter and it has nothing to do with the interests. The only real opposition is Yu Gong of Nanfu. Yu Gong's opposition is indeed related to our identity.

, But even if Mr. Yu is the prince’s brother, the Xifu is still the same Xifu, how can you understand?”

"I'm all wrong when you say this, but who has reminded me?" Gu Xifeng felt even more unhappy and was fooled like a joke.

"It's not your fault, nor everyone. Since you are in Xifu, you still have to let go of your figure and integrate into the Xifu system. But there is one thing you guessed correctly. After entering Chengdu, I really want to leave.

The army is in."

"Why?" Gu Xifeng immediately became alert.

"You don't have to be nervous. The prince has talked with me. After entering Chengdu, Xifu will take root in Chengdu. The military and political areas must be separated. It is certain to select talents to enrich Xifu. I have always been reluctant to do military affairs. The local government can only be in charge.

It’s what I should do, it’s my own voluntary.” Gu Yanfeng said it plainly, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction.

"where are you going?"

"The Xifu system has basically been formed. The Shangshutai is in charge of government affairs, the Grand Governor's Office is in charge of military affairs, the Civil Affairs Institute is in charge of the people, and the Mingjian Department is in charge of supervision. It is in one and supports each other. After entering Chengdu, I will serve as the Shangshu Shishu and assist Zhuo Gong."

Yan Feng deliberately said so clearly that he wanted Gu Xifeng to really integrate into the Western Palace, otherwise he would be eliminated sooner or later.

"What should I do if Yiling?" Gu Xifeng was more concerned about military affairs.

"The prince called me to discuss these things these days, and I am talking about these things. I'm interested in dispersing the power of the local governor's office. The specifics are still being discussed. I can't tell you too much, but don't worry, your military power is not there.

Will be deprived.”

That's the end, and if you continue, there will be no nutrition. Gu Xifeng took a sip of water and asked, "Brother, it seems that the prince doesn't want to accept their surrender if he doesn't see Zhuge, right?"

Gu Yanfeng looked at Gu Xifeng with appreciation, and then said, "It's the meaning. Zhuge is a descendant of Wuhou and has a great influence in the two rivers. If you are surrendered, you must properly resettle them. This is a problem, and Zhuge is definitely not.

People who are willing to be inferior to others, so we unanimously believe that not being surrendered is the best choice.”

While talking about the situation, the two ate and drank until dark. At this time, the guards reported: "General, the prince summoned you to the big tent to discuss matters."

"What happened?" Gu Yanfeng was the first to react. The prince could hardly discuss matters at night for more than half a month.

The guard shook and said, "I don't know very well, it seems that something happened in Chengdu."

The two looked at each other and changed their clothes in a hurry...
