Liu Mingzhi looked at Li Xiao with his disbelieving eyes and his face remained calm as usual. He gently waved his hand to Du Yu on the side, turned around and walked towards the Chinese army's tent.
"Du Yu, see the guests off!"
"Got the order!"
Li Xiao came back to his senses and looked at Liu Mingzhi, who had ordered him to be kicked out, his expression completely gloomy.
"Dong Guo, do you really want to be known as a rebel? Aren't you afraid that people in the world will criticize you verbally and denounce your evil deeds?"
"I urge you to think twice before you act. Your Majesty's ascension to the throne is an act of obedience to nature and the general trend of the times."
Liu Mingzhi stopped for a moment, turned around slowly, looked at Li Xiao not far away, and made gestures to his neck.
"One more thing to say to Li Yunlong, as long as he has the ability, my commander's head will be waiting for him to come and get it at any time."
"As long as he can't take away my head, I will definitely kill him after I break the city."
"you"
"Du Yu, what are you doing there? You haven't seen off the guests yet."
"yes!"
Du Yu looked at Li Xiao who had nothing to say and slowly drew out his weapon: "Boy, do you want to go on your own, or should I send you away?"
Li Xiao looked at Liu Mingzhi's back with a look of reluctance, and Du Yu, who was holding a knife against him, slowly retreated towards the city gate.
"You bold rebels will definitely die a terrible death."
Looking at Li Xiao's back climbing up the city wall, Du Yu spat fiercely.
"Bah, what the hell!"
Gently putting the saber back into its sheath, Du Yu glanced at the surrounding marshal's guards with a calm expression.
"Did I forget to hear everything the commander just said? If anyone dares to gossip behind his back, don't blame me for not remembering our old friendship as brothers."
Dozens of guards nodded without hesitation, with no expression of color on their faces.
"Got the order!"
"Let's go and continue to protect the commander's safety."
Liu Mingzhi looked back at the city walls of the capital and sighed silently.
Although he had received news about Li Baiyu's Daxing from Suzaku, Liu Mingzhi still held a trace of luck in his heart and regarded it as a rumor spread by the rebels.
Knowing that the Dragon Ancestor Worship Bell rang nine times today, Liu Mingzhi had no choice but to believe that Li Baiyu had really passed away.
These nine bells completely shattered Young Master Liu's last glimmer of hope.
"Commander!"
"exist!"
"The three armies are ordered to perform their respective duties. Today, the entire army will be in pristine condition for a day to send you off to your majesty."
"Got the order!"
"Mingfeng!"
"Commander?"
"Send all the generals to come to my camp. I have something to say."
"It's an order."
Liu Mingzhi also did not want to make Li Baiyu's affairs public, but Liu Mingzhi knew that he could no longer hide it.
The ancestor worship bell would ring nine times only when the emperor was on a grand occasion. The rich bell was not only heard by me, but also by everyone inside and outside the capital.
Although many of the people under his command are not literate, as a Dalong soldier and Dalong commoner, even if they are illiterate, they understand what it means when the ancestor worship bell rings nine times.
This is a fact that cannot be concealed.
As soon as Liu Mingzhi walked into the big tent, he found the little cutie curled up on his chair with his hands on his knees, his chin resting on his knees, and his little face was gloomy.
Liu Mingzhi was startled for a moment, and he vaguely understood something in his heart, but he still felt a little hesitant in his heart.
"Yue'er, who made you angry? Tell daddy and he can help you teach him a lesson, okay?"
The little cutie gently raised her head to look at Mr. Liu, then lowered her head again.
"Dad, uncle, is he gone?"
"How is it possible? Your uncle is the Great Dragon Emperor. Who dares to kill him?"
"When the bell rings nine times, the emperor's death is celebrated. The etiquette of the Jin Kingdom was passed down from Dalong. Yue'er is the princess of the Jin Kingdom. How could she not understand what the bell ringing nine times means."
"Except for the ancestor worship bell on the bell tower, there is no other bell with such a powerful sound."
Liu Mingzhi fell silent and sighed silently.
"Yue'er, daddy is telling you the truth, your uncle has indeed become famous, but don't worry, daddy will definitely help him get revenge."
"Okay, uncle is a good uncle. Dad, you must keep your word and help uncle get revenge."
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and patted the little cutie's forehead, "When did daddy lie to you?"
"Let's meet the commander-in-chief!"
The voices of Song Qing and others came from outside the big tent. Liu Mingzhi gave the cutie a look. The cutie nodded and jumped off the chair and ran towards the back of the huge map.
"All come in!"
Headed by Song Qing, Cheng Kai and Zhou Baoyu, followed by more than 20 generals, all came to the big tent.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Song Qing and the others, who had melancholy faces and had already tied white silk around their waists, and sighed silently. He knew that this matter could not be hidden.
Sure enough, before his command had spread throughout the three armies, these well-informed soldiers had already tied up the white silk ribbons themselves.
Song Qing stopped in front of Liu Mingzhi and took a tray from the guard beside him. There was a neatly folded white silk on the tray. Song Qing handed the tray to Young Master Liu with a solemn expression.
Upon seeing this, Liu Mingzhi directly took off the white silk and tied it around his waist.
When the emperor is prosperous, the world will be peaceful.
But now, apart from the people in the capital, how many people in Dalong know about this matter.
The capital had just been captured by the rebels, and he surrounded the rebels. The news of Li Baiyu's great expedition could not be conveyed at all.
"Everyone, sit down!"
"Thank you, Marshal!"
Liu Mingzhi sat on the coach's chair, and Song Qing and other generals also sat down one after another.
"I think you all understand the current situation, so I won't go into details. Can you tell me what you think?"
Song Qing gently knocked on the table and thought for a while.
"Commander, you are the marshal of the armed forces. We brothers only know how to charge into battle and obey the commander's orders. Commander, you should tell us what you mean first!"
"Yes, the deputy commander is right. Things have already happened. It's too late to say anything now. We all listen to the commander-in-chief."
"Now that His Royal Highness the King of Shu has ascended the throne as emperor, according to what Li Xiao means, if we continue to attack the city, we will be labeled as rebels. We must find a way to get the best of both worlds."
"Yes, as an emperor and a courtier, although we hold the decree of King Qin's army in our hands, the late emperor has already made a big move. To put it bluntly, there is no proof. As long as the new king of Shu insists that this is a forged imperial decree by us, we will
When the time comes, I won’t be able to argue with you.”
"Commander, what Baotong said makes sense. Except for us, no one else knows about King Qin's orders. Once he is framed as a rebel, it will be difficult to erase it."
"Even if we are loyal ministers, we will be treated as rebels. Most of the people are illiterate and they will follow the general trend. We can't explain it clearly."
Liu Mingzhi picked up the teacup and took a sip, then quietly scanned all the generals in the tent, his face looking a little calm.
"So, do you mean to attack the city, or to take advantage of the situation and rely on the new king?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at Liu Mingzhi quietly, trying to see something from Young Master Liu's face.
However, Young Master Liu's expression was too calm, and Song Qing and others could not see anything at all. From then on, they could not understand the commander's meaning.
Does the commander want to attack the city? Or does he want to take advantage of the situation?
In an instant, the sound of pindrops could be heard in the big tent, and everyone was speculating on Liu Mingzhi's intentions.
After a long time, Song Qing looked into Young Master Liu's eyes and seemed to understand something.
He gently drank a cup of tea, muttered while playing with the teacup in his hand, put down the teacup, stood up and saluted Mr. Liu with fists in his hands.
"We will follow the leadership of the commander-in-chief and listen to the commander-in-chief whether it is war or peace."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and seemed to react after taking a look at Song Qing's actions.
"We are all willing to look up to you with the commander-in-chief's lead."
Liu Mingzhi's calm face revealed a smile, and he stood up gently and scanned the crowd.
"Continue to destroy the city, eliminate the rebels, and welcome the eldest prince Li Ye back to the throne as emperor!"
