"Yeah." Wu Nian hummed.

Speaking of which, although they have "been friends for a long time" and would like to pull each other off the throne and tear each other into pieces, they only met yesterday.

Although we have skin-to-skin contact, we are not actually familiar with each other.

Li Jinzhu did not dare to be a stranger to Wu Nian, so he walked up very docilely, hugged Wu Nian's arm naturally, and hugged Wu Nian to the throne and sat down.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Wu Nian racked his brains and said, "Where are you in the family?"

Li Jinzhu didn't know what Wu Nian meant, so he replied cautiously: "Report to the general. I am the third in the family. I have two brothers, five brothers and seven sisters."

After a pause, Li Jinzhu added: "I am a direct descendant. I have a brother and a sister. The rest are concubines."

I don't know what she was thinking, but she carefully raised her beautiful face and said, "General, my youngest sister is fifteen this year and has not yet left the government."

"What are you thinking about?" Wu Nian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he reacted, smiled and patted her plump and elastic butt hard.

"I'm just looking for a topic."

Li Jinzhu's delicate body trembled slightly and she cursed endlessly.

"I don't know what you are thinking. You thought I gave you my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law, so that you would have a soft spot for your sisters."

"With your honorable position, even if you kill all the married and unmarried sisters in my family, I can't do anything about it."

Thinking of this, Li Jinzhu felt extremely regretful.

Why did he leave E's mother and E's wife with Wu Nian in the first place? Didn't this create enemies for himself?

No.

Not right either.

My dear, my mother-in-law has been raised by me since she was a child. She treats me with the same respect as she treats her mother. Moreover, they are young and beautiful, and their days of being favored are still long-term.

Unlike me, I will become old and lose my appearance in a few years.

I am close enough to them to be able to gain a foothold in Wu Nian's harem.

Women know how to compete for favors instinctively and do not need to be taught.

What's more, Li Jinzhu, the queen mother who listens to politics behind the curtain?

My thoughts are complicated.

There is just a red line.

Unless Wu Nian takes the initiative, she will never discuss state affairs.

.............

Lanxi Water Village Camp.

The waves rolled to the west, and the flags moved with the wind. Zhao Mancheng tried to lead his elite troops back to Seoul, but was blocked by Wu Nianjun and retreated to the camp.

Lanxi camp is now surrounded.

Although Zhao Mancheng's prestige was extremely high, he could barely calm down the morale of the army. But from the generals down to the ordinary soldiers, almost everyone was panic-stricken.

Inside the big tent.

Zhao Mancheng was wearing white armor and sitting on the handsome seat. His expression was very complicated and his inner conflict was very intense.

It's over.

I am incompetent.

Unexpectedly, Wu Nian, who had always been making an attack on the east and attacking the west, would now make an attack on the east and attack the east.

We made a mistake in judgment and asked Wu Nian to cross the river from Cangyuan.

but.

Cangyuan was guarded by General Li, with 40,000 land and sea soldiers. He didn't even hold it for an hour.

Even if Wu Nian really attacks our Lanxi camp, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop him.

This is the difference in military strength.

We still wanted to hold on to half of Goguryeo to wait for the defeat of Liaodong. But it turned out to be a wishful thinking and a dream in vain.

The faces of the generals below were very ugly, and many of them hesitated to speak.

"Hey." Zhao Mancheng sighed, then looked up at the generals. Facing Xue Qilin's gaze, the generals immediately calmed down and sat upright.

"Everyone, let me say something treasonous. Although I have a crowd of 70,000 people, I am unable to make a comeback. Now I can only lead the troops here to watch Wu Nian's movements."

"If Wu Nian treats my king well, I will return the military power."

"If Wu Nian humiliates my king, I, Zhao Man, will fight him to the death. Everyone, what do you think?"

Zhao Mancheng looked at the generals, his voice gradually became stern, and he stood up suddenly, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist tightly with his left hand.

"I am willing to work together with the general."

Sensing the tragic tone in Zhao Mancheng's tone, the generals couldn't help but tremble, and their admiration emerged. Almost all of them bowed down without hesitation.

Although they lost their country, they were loyal ministers.

The king is humiliated and his ministers are humiliated.

The fish dies and the net breaks.

There is no suspense about the matter.

But Zhao Mancheng was cautious.

After waiting for Wu Nian's envoy, he learned that Jin Shanshui had been treated politely. However, Zhao Mancheng was still worried and sent his confidants to Seoul to investigate.

After making sure that Jin Shanshui and the Li family were treated politely, Zhao Mancheng asked the other generals to continue guarding the Lanxi camp to ensure that the army would not cause chaos.

He took dozens of his own cavalry and rushed to Seoul to meet Wu Nian.

After Wu Nian learned the news, he asked people to prepare a banquet in the palace hall. He stood at the door of the palace and welcomed Zhao Mancheng with Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and Li Yunchong, which gave him enough face.

After standing for a while, Wu Nian saw Zhao Mancheng dressed elegantly in white, walking in a low profile under the watchful eyes of the soldiers.

Without waiting for Zhao Mancheng to salute, Wu Nian stepped forward straightforwardly, grabbed Zhao Mancheng's hands, and said: "General Zhao, we are fighting on the battlefield, and each of us wants the other to die."

"Because we all know that the other person is a hero."

"And how much I wished the general would die at first, now I love him so much."

"In the past, everyone was responsible for their own affairs. Generals don't have to worry about it, and they don't have to be burdened."

"Let's look to the future. To paraphrase Cao Cao."

"Compared to getting Goguryeo, I prefer to get a general."

"Come. Come in. I'm hosting a banquet in the main hall. We won't go home until we get drunk today."

After enthusiastically showing his love for Zhao Mancheng, Wu Nian took Zhao Mancheng's hand and walked up the steps with everyone and entered the main hall.

Zhao Mancheng didn't even have a chance to speak.

His inner feelings are very complicated.

Wu Nian's words are really pleasing to the ear. Everyone has their own master, so they try their best. On the battlefield, they try their best to kill each other.

Wu Nian didn't care, but admired him.

This appreciation is extraordinary.

He was just a rebellious minister who lost his country and lost his family. How could he not be grateful from the bottom of his heart to be admired by Wu Nian like this?

But while he was grateful, he was also very ashamed. He thought of his young master Jin Shanshui. When everyone entered the main hall and sat down individually.

Zhao Mancheng suddenly burst into tears.

"General, why is this? Is there something imprudent about my etiquette?" Wu Nian was surprised, stood up and bowed his hands.

"No." Zhao Mancheng shook his head and said to Wu Nian: "The general's etiquette is so grand, I am very ashamed."

"I just remembered that my Zhao family was deeply favored by the country. The late king passed away, and the young master was young. As a leading general, I was defeated repeatedly. I failed to defend Goguryeo. I really feel sorry for the late king."

As he said this, Zhao Mancheng burst into tears and couldn't help himself.

Li Yunchong sat opposite him and couldn't help crying when he heard this.

Who says a man won’t shed tears easily? It’s just that the emotion is not there yet.

For both of them, the pain of losing their country was heartbreaking.

The two showed their true feelings.

Wu Nian, Wang Gui, and Zhang Sheng were a little embarrassed.

Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng raised his head and looked at Wu Nian, what a snow unicorn.
