Chapter 291 The old fox's calculation
Old Xiangguo finally chose to compromise, after all, he couldn't bet the lives of the people in the city.

"Let him go."

Xi Linan pushed open the door, and all the armored guards outside the house glared at him, what's more, they had already put their hands on the sword, waiting for the old Prime Minister's order, they would smash the animal into thousands of pieces.

However, all the soldiers were waiting thousands of times, but what they were waiting for was Xu Bing's order to let go.

"only!"

Despite his unwillingness, the leading general still gave way to Xi Linan sullenly.

Xi Linan raised his head and glanced at the young general. The corner of his mouth couldn't tell whether it was a sarcasm or a mockery. He just walked towards the outside step by step as if nothing had happened. Seeing that his companion had successfully saved his life, Guo An and others rekindled hope.

"My lord, I just remembered some things in the family after I got off the ground, I don't know what to do..."

Guo An was trying to find a reason to get away.

Unexpectedly, Xu Bing interrupted his excuse coldly before he finished speaking.

"The old man promised to bypass him this time, but he didn't promise to spare you. Could it be that Mr. Guo has also placed people in Beijing?"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Bing nodded slightly to the young general outside the room.

Before Guo An opened his mouth to explain, the man picked up the fat and clumsy Guo An with one hand like an eagle catching a chick. The rustling sound made by the rubbing of armor pieces was like falling leaves, and a group of armor broke into the study. , Apart from anything else, Guo An and others were all apprehended.

"Drag it down and cut it."

Old Xiangguo was so angry at the moment that he didn't even bother to waste a little bit of tongue, so he directly asked these treacherous villains to be dragged out and beheaded.

After all, if they can be selected into the imperial guards, the physical fitness of these people will not be too bad. Even if they are dragging a fat man weighing two to three hundred catties, all the soldiers still walk like flying, and they catch up with Xi Linan who is leaving the palace in a short time.

"Help, Master Xi, save me!"

There was a sound of crying and shouting behind him. Passing by Xi Linan, the young general in silver armor acted a little rough, which made Guo An wailing like a pig, and then looked at Xi Linan provocatively.

Unexpectedly, Xi Linan just looked at him with a smile, as if the person being teased was not familiar with him at all.

"Master Xi, do you really want to die?"

Seeing that Xi Linan didn't take oil and salt, the young general Yinjia couldn't help but sarcastically said.

"This general is joking. How dare you question Mr. Xu's decision when he is no more than a deputy prime minister?"

"Although the lower officials have met Mr. Guo once, since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness cannot be combined. The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. Mr. Guo, go at ease. Your wife and daughter, I will take care of them."

However, Xi Linan was far more cunning than imagined, and he couldn't fall into his tricks at all.

Looking at the backs of the group going away, Xi Linan sneered disdainfully.

He is not a fool, now that Wangcheng is about to change its course, if Chetuo people want to take over Wangcheng smoothly by then, it is inevitable to promote them old ministers.

Although a group of them were killed and taken away by King Shiyu, they were all high-ranking court officials, and there were many small officials left behind. Otherwise, Xu Bing would not be so easy to continue to maintain the operation of the court.

Now that there are fewer pitfalls and more radishes, he is not interested in saving a few opponents for himself.

What's more, although Guo An's old boy is obese, he looks good, and his wife and daughter are all beautiful beauties.

Don't get me wrong, Xi Linan is more interested in power than prostitutes.

If you can dedicate this pair of mother and daughter to Prince Chetuo, maybe it is not impossible to keep your own glory and wealth.

Xi Linan made up his mind.

He has already lost the great opportunity to sacrifice the city, and if he wants to be reused, he can only resort to risky tactics.

After all, the placement of gunpowder everywhere in the city was all lies he used to coax Xu Bing, and the Chetuo people were not fools, so how could they leave a completely burnt capital for themselves?

Even if they really want to set fire to make trouble, they will only pick places where the fire can be controlled, such as granaries, government offices, etc. If they dare to burn down residential buildings, Prince Che Tuo can kill these idiots first without Xu Bing's action.

Xu Bing was also concerned about chaos, so he didn't realize the loopholes in it.

Thinking of this, Xi Linan couldn't help quickening his pace.

With the wisdom of that old fox, he didn't expect that this layer was only temporary, and when he realized it, he might really be unable to leave.

The smile on Xi Linan's face suddenly froze.

But what if Xu Bing wanted to spare his life on purpose?
What if Xu Bing never thought of taking his life from the beginning to the end?
Xi Linan's face darkened.

He finally realized what was wrong.

What happened today was too smooth, as if it went smoothly according to his script. I thought the other party was confused, but after thinking about it again, I am afraid that old fox Xu Bing never thought of killing himself. Feeling helpless, I'm afraid it's more about going with the flow.

As for why you should let yourself go.

That old bastard wants to harm the Chetuo royal family by himself!

Xi Linan's complexion couldn't be more ugly.

In the eyes of that old man, I'm afraid that he is a disaster star wherever he goes, leaving himself to the Chetuo people, maybe he doesn't have the intention of harming the Chetuo people.

He, Xi Linan, is also the number one scholar at any rate, why is he so unbearable in the eyes of this old Prime Minister?

Xi Linan refused to admit that it was his own problem.

If it weren't for King Shiyu's great success and nepotism, he would not do what he likes, and being a traitor who hates dogs, maybe he might be a good official with integrity.

This is the fault of King Shiyu, why should it be placed on the body of a courtier.

Xi Linan made up his mind.

If he can take up an official position in Chetuo Kingdom in the future, he will definitely show that old fox that he is ten times better than him.

At this moment, Xi Linan completely forgot that he was planning to betray his good friend's wife and daughter just now.

At the same time, Pei Miaode also received news that King Shiyu was running away in the dark.

"Finally gone?"

Pei Miaode read the secret report in his hand with a smile, then tore the note into pieces, and gave instructions to Qu Shaoqing who was beside him.

"Pass down the order of my palace, immediately attack the city!"

Last night, he reserved the opportunity for King Shiyu to abandon the city and escape. If the other party did not leave, there would be a bloody battle next.

Although he can destroy the country in one battle, but in the face of the Shiyu Ruishi who has the will to die, the casualties of the Chetuo people will not be too small, and the big cannibals are still watching covetously!
Pei Miaode will not give the cannibal fisherman a chance to benefit.

That's why they deliberately put on a posture of besieging the city slowly, but they were extremely slow in dispatching troops, in order to let the troops go, and even sent a team of troops to pursue them symbolically.

Now that King Shiyu abandoned his people and fled, it would definitely deal a huge blow to the morale of the defenders.

I'm afraid that within seven days, this royal city that has stood tall for a hundred years will be renamed Chetuo.
