The order passed by the eunuch was a bit strange. Chen Shuxing was stunned for a moment. With his intelligence, he could naturally tell that there must be some hidden meaning in it.
While he was thinking, Xiao Xiangguo couldn't wait to open the snack box, and there was a note hidden inside.
"It has been confirmed that the emperor is a man!"
Xiao Xiangguo finally let go of his hanging heart, and immediately took out two gold ingots from his body and stuffed them into the eunuch's hands.
"Excuse me, father-in-law, please give the Queen a message. Just say that everything is fine at home!"
The eunuch suddenly beamed with joy.
"My slave must bring the message!"
After the eunuch left, Chen Shuxing approached Xiao Xiangguo uncertainly.
"Lord Xiangguo, look at the cooperation between us..."
"Mr. Chen!" Xiao Xiangguo shook his robe and sat down.
"I'm not the only one in this court. Besides, my layout for so many years has been for big merchants. The conditions you proposed are really too harsh!"
Chen Shuxing couldn't help but froze there, rejecting him in a different way.
"Lord Xiangguo, please think carefully, this opportunity will not happen a third time!"
Xiao Xiangguo chuckled and picked up the tea cup at hand again.
"In my opinion, there will be no shortage of opportunities for cooperation between us. Mr. Chen will go back first and let me think about it!"
Chen Shuxing suddenly felt angry. Although Xiao Xiangguo did not reject him directly, he still wanted to sell it at a price.
Speaking of which, he couldn't stay here any longer and had no choice but to leave.
When Chen Shuxing left, Xiao Xiangguo immediately called a servant.
"Go quickly and call General Wu over!"
At this point, he can only take a gamble. Since Shan Tianxiong is bound to die, Guan Sancheng over there definitely needs a guard!
He took this opportunity to replace his men, and then persuaded the emperor to send troops to the border. Of course, the soldiers sent were under his control.
As long as he can defend three cities, he can take control of the fifteen cities at the border.
Moreover, Chen Shuxing did not insist on his words just now. If the city cannot be defended in the end, he will find a way to borrow the power of the Huns again.
Such a two-pronged approach can be regarded as a double insurance.
Besides, it was now confirmed that the emperor was a man, so his previous plan to usurp power and seize the throne was in vain.
We can only think of another way and proceed step by step. As for using the power of foreigners to become the emperor of the Shang Dynasty, that can only be used as a last resort!
Zhao Rui and a group of imperial guards traveled day and night to the border.
On the way, he tried to escape several times, but Ouchi Shiwei, who was beside him, seemed to have obtained Murong Bing's secret order a long time ago. He looked at him very hard along the way and had no chance to escape.
Just as a group of them were about to arrive at the border town, a deafening shout of death suddenly came from the distance.
"Father, the Rouran army is attacking the city. We're afraid we won't be able to enter the city."
Zhao Rui frowned slightly and drove his horse to the mountainous area not far away.
The small city on the lonely frontier has long been surrounded, but the soldiers guarding the city tower seemed a little scattered and their fighting spirit was low.
Shan Tianxiong is deeply poisoned and may not be able to take command at this moment.
If this continues, it won't be long before the Rouran army will attack the city.
By then, all fifteen border cities may fall into enemy hands.
Rouran and the Xiongnu army are rushing forward. I am afraid that Dachang will be in danger of losing its country.
Zhao Rui suddenly felt a little more compassionate. No matter what, Murong Bing was his woman. If Dashang was really ruined, Murong Bing's life would be in danger.
