Chapter 232
It is rare for Xuan Yinruo to express his concern for Gu Chengyuan so bluntly, and Gu Chengyuan is well aware of her stubbornness. He thought over and over again, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's go together."

No matter how windy, frosty, rainy and snowy the future will be, or full of thorns and steep jungles...

As long as you are here, we will go on together.

Xuan Yin Ruo heard the words, and slowly evoked a smile, exuding a swaying light in the faint candlelight.

The crazy people were temporarily suppressed with Jing Shi's medicine and some unique methods of wizards, but the time limit was short. According to Wen Ruowei's tone, if the Gu King was not destroyed, these people could only last for two days at most.

Although the Gu King has a great effect, it is also harmful to people. People who have the Gu King planted in their bodies generally look weaker than ordinary people. She still can't confirm such a dangerous thing.

Of course, Xuan Yinruo never expected that Zong Wei would really dare to bet his life.

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Chengyuan sent a letter to the City Lord's Mansion on the grounds of the conversation between the two parties, expressing that he would enter the city for a detailed discussion.

In the City Lord's Mansion, there was also a lot of disagreement on whether to agree to this request.

"Your Majesty, the situation in Dongyang is currently weak. Qi Wenguo's willingness to discuss in detail at this time proves that there is still room for improvement. Your Majesty...in the opinion of the old minister, it is better to agree to peace talks. It will stop this war and prevent the people from being displaced. Great opportunity."

"Yes, Your Majesty, at such a critical moment, we can't ruin Dongyang's centuries-old foundation because of a moment of arrogance. His Royal Highness is still waiting in Shangyang City."

"I hope the emperor thinks twice!"

"I hope the emperor thinks twice!"

Originally, Zong Wei refused the peace talks without hesitation as soon as he received the letter. He even understood the benefits of the witchcraft this time, and naturally understood that Gu Chengyuan proposed to discuss in detail at this time.It was clear that he wanted to get the King of Gu in his body.

However, the officials below were not familiar with this matter, and they only regarded it as a chance to start over, which might ease the endangered situation in Dongyang, and tried their best to persuade them.

"Enough!" Zong Wei showed an impatient face, and waved all the tea bowls and jade porcelain in his hand to the ground, and the pieces smashed to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Am I the emperor or are you the emperor? I have said it, if I don't accept it, I won't accept it! I still have to..."

Before Zong Wei's voice fell, there was a loud noise in front of him, thick smoke billowed, and the area was damaged.

The officials in the hall looked out one after another, and it didn't take long before they received the news from the soldiers - "Qi Wenguo sent another mysterious weapon and blew up a camp ahead."

Now, everyone lost their temper and knelt down one after another.

Some humerus veterans who had lived for decades even grabbed the guard's sword and put it on his neck.

"Your Majesty, this veteran has stayed in Shangyang City for dozens of years. He has assisted the two sages and experienced countless changes. But this veteran has always been loyal to Dongyang and devoted himself to Dongyang. This time... we must never see Dongyang Kingdom destroyed by us. In the hands. If the emperor insists on doing this, the old minister can only... use death to show his ambition and respect the emperor."

After all, he really wiped his neck slowly to the end, and the blood flowed down the ground to Zong Wei's feet, staining the land extremely glaringly.

As soon as his words fell, countless subjects behind him shouted: "Teacher Liu...Teacher Liu..."

What's more, he directly imitated Liu Taifu and wanted to force Zong Wei to death like him.

Zong Wei's face was ashen, and he sat on the couch and coughed dozens of times before finally slapping the table and shouting angrily: "Enough! I agree!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, fell to the ground and shouted: "The emperor is wise."

Outside the Anping barracks, in a valley not guarded by many people, Xuan Yinruo still hesitated: "Zong Wei is conceited. He clearly knows the purpose of our trip this time, so he may not agree to this request."

Gu Chengyuan's expression was dull, he looked straight ahead: "No, he will definitely agree."

Facing Xuan Yinruo's confusion, he lowered his eyes to look at her, and slightly curled his lips: "A country is not just composed of the emperor alone."

Xuan Yinruo raised her eyebrows, she meant half-truth to Gu Chengyuan's words, but... She was very pleased with Gu Chengyuan's self-satisfied appearance of winning.

She smiled lightly and blinked her eyes: "Since it is something the prince has decided, the little girl naturally dare not question it."

Gu Chengyuan's eyes deepened, he embraced the girl's slender waist, leaned over and kissed her.

These days are so busy, it seems that it has been a long time since I tasted this unique sweetness.

With a smile in Xuan Yinruo's eyes, he wrapped his hands around Gu Chengyuan's neck, which also deepened the kiss.

And in a corner not far away, Wen Ruowei held the letter that had just arrived from Miaojiang, stood there and watched the pair of Bi people kiss affectionately in front of him, hesitantly daring to take a step.

After a while, her cheeks were covered with tears, her lips were still pale, and she looked weak.

"Saint..." A wizard ran out from behind, stared blankly at the scene in front of him, lowered his head and asked in embarrassment, "Is this letter from the patriarch... still for the prince to read?"

Wen Ruowei clenched his right hand tightly, and after a while, his expression softened slightly: "No need."
-
Neither Gu Chengyuan nor Xuan Yinruo noticed this episode, and it didn't take long before they received the news that Zong Wei agreed to discuss in detail.

Gu Chengyuan made some preparations, took Shao Yun and a good cavalry team, and stepped into the land of Dongyang Kingdom together with Xuan Yinruo.

The soldiers and horses stopped outside the city lord's mansion, and the officials in charge of leading the way sat upright all the way, looking quite reserved, when they came outside the mansion, they all spoke with abnormal expressions,
"That... my lord, the emperor is in the mansion, but according to Dongyang's rules, all the people brought by the lord can only stay outside."

The official wiped his sweat while talking, obviously knowing how unreasonable this behavior was.

Gu Chengyuan's expression didn't change. Xuan Yinruo took a look at the mansion, where there were guards all over the house. On the dark side, this number was probably equivalent to a unit in the army.

But it's no wonder that if more people are not sent to guard the residence of the majestic lord of a country, something will be wrong.

Shao Yun stood up directly, with the sword at his waist ready to go, and refused directly with a cold face: "No, the safety of the regent must be guarded by us to rest assured."

The person who came to greet him was originally a civil servant, and when he saw Shao Yun's fierce face and the knife in his hand, he panicked instantly, and said in a low voice: "Then... the prince wait a moment, and I will go in and ask the emperor for instructions."

Gu Chengyuan's brows and eyes completely cooled down, with a layer of impatience, and his tone was cold: "Is this the way of hospitality in Dongyang Kingdom?"
