Who took away my wealth

Chapter 161 Siege

When Song Qinian entered the tent, Gu Yuzheng was leaning on the bedside, reading a notebook.

It was Wang Dayao who searched for him.

It's just that now he doesn't read the story between the cut sleeves. What he reads are ordinary stories about crazy men and women, which are not interesting and just kill time.

Seeing Song Qinian come in, he leaned against him lazily. He had been like this all the time, ignoring him.

He just listens to whatever the other party tells him, without refuting or disagreeing. He is completely a middleman. Things outside him are other people's business and have nothing to do with him.

And ever since Song Qinian gave him a fever, he seemed to be avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally. Even if he wanted to see him, he would do so secretly, take one look at him and leave, as if he was a thief with a guilty conscience.

It makes this place feel like his territory.

"Your Highness, I see you didn't eat much tonight. Are you hungry now?"

Gu Yu raised his eyes and passed over the other person lightly, ignoring him.

Song Qinian was not embarrassed. He glanced at the script book in his hand and twitched the corner of his mouth: "I changed to a new script book. Does it look good?"

Gu Yu still didn't answer.

However, he didn't speak, and Song Qinian's eyes kept falling on his hand. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't want to be stared at so directly, so he threw the notebook in his hand on Song Qinian's body. , wrapped in quilt and lay down.

Song Qinian caught the script at a loss. When he looked up again, the other party was already lying down. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk to him.

So I could only bite the bullet and speak:

"Get some rest early, we...will break camp tomorrow."

This sentence finally aroused the slightest touch in Gu Yu. Although he did not turn around, Song Qinian knew that he was listening.

Seeing that Gu Yu was finally willing to give him a little attention, Song Qinian's heart quickened slightly. He looked at Gu Yu's back passionately:

"Attack the Imperial City."

When he said these three words, Song Qinian even thought eagerly that Gu Yu could jump three feet high, point at his nose and yell at him as a white-eyed wolf, or cry and ask him to let the people in the city go. or something, but none of that.

The person with his back turned to him was stunned for just a moment and then slumped down.

No response.

Song Qinian was extremely frustrated.

He was about to attack the city, but Gu Yu could still remain so calm. He was crying with snot and tears when Golden Bird of Prey was injured last time.

Do you really not care about anything?

A huge panic filled Song Qinian's heart, stirring in his chambers and causing no peace.

If Gu Yu didn't care about anything, why would she still care about him?

He did not give up and spoke in an urgent tone:

"A lot of people could die."

"..."

"Nanling may destroy the country..."

"..."

Song Qinian: "..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, and his tone became more and more desperate. In the end, he even felt aggrieved like an abandoned puppy:

"Gu Yu, just say a word to me, please."

When Song Qinian left, Gu Yu didn't even look at him or say a word to him, no matter what words the other party used to stimulate him.

*

The next day, shouts and attacks were heard in the distance.

Good news comes frequently.

Wang Dayao, who loves gossip, will come over almost anytime with the latest battle situation to share with Gu Yu.

"What a ghost, Gu Yu, do you know what happened outside the city today?"

Gu Yuzheng was lazily lying on the rocking chair outside the tent to bask in the sun. The noise coming from his ears made him cover his hands in discomfort, and then he lazily opened his eyes and turned sideways:

"What do you want to say?"

"Today Jin Zhi led his troops to confront Song Qinian at the city gate. He thought the two armies were going to fight. As a result, they worked together to break through the city gate and drove straight in to the palace gate."

Gu Yu then raised his head and looked at him with a frown: "What?"

"Tell me, what benefit did Song Qinian give Jin Zhi to make such a righteous man switch sides? But they are still decent. After entering the city, they did not kill any common people, and they did not kill any soldiers who did not resist. This is the first time I’ve heard of fighting like this.”

Gu Yu was silent for a while and then said: "This is pretty good."

"That's good. You are the little emperor of Nanling. You accept it so easily. That is your throne!"

"Do you think I am suitable to be an emperor because I just lie down and don't think about it every day? Don't bring down this country."

Wang Dayao thought about Gu Yu's usual lazy look and felt it made sense: "That's right... However, this position is not something everyone can get if they want it. It's even more surprising that you don't care so much. .”

"Just because they all want it doesn't mean I want it. If you give me a piece of gold now, I'll immediately draft a Zen edict and make you the emperor."

Wang Dayao rolled his eyes: "..."

Tacky!

Too vulgar!

Thinking only about money.

Does he look rich?

At the same time, Li Guodong's remaining soldiers had retreated to the palace.

People kept surrendering, resulting in fewer and fewer soldiers under his command. He had no choice but to retreat to the palace. He saw that he was being pressed by two teams of soldiers and horses, and he could no longer withstand it.

"What should we do? That traitor Jin Zhi didn't deal with the Sumu army. Now he has invaded the imperial city with the Sumu people. He has rebelled a long time ago!"

"Aren't we all going to die?"

"No, I heard that as long as they surrender and don't resist, they won't kill them and will give them preferential treatment."

The ministers were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They didn't care whether the regent was still sitting on the high platform, so they said it openly.

Gu Shuangnan's eyes were bloodshot at this moment. He opened the curtain from behind and came out, pointing at the ministers and yelling:

"You are all ministers of Nanling. Do you want to commit treason?"

"But now that everyone is fighting at the palace gate, what's the use of such fearless resistance! If you become the regent, what are you going to do? Are you going to die for the country?"

Gu Shuangnan clenched his fists and punched the dragon chair hard. His eyes were about to burst: "What did you say?"

"The regent has been in charge of the government for so long. Has it changed the situation at all? How much has he contributed to Nanling?"

In fact, the ministers were not unaware of Gu Shuangnan's behind-the-scenes methods, and they were also vaguely aware of the usurpation and persecution, but they did not dare to speak out, fearing that Gu Shuangnan's methods would extend to them.

Now we have to make a choice anyway, either be forced by Gu Shuangnan, or be killed by the enemy. Gu Shuangnan himself has no time to take care of himself, why should they listen to him?

"Be bold!"

"I agree, let's just surrender. It would be better for someone else to lead Nanling than the current one."

"Shut up! Shut up, all of you!"

Gu Shuangnan didn't care about his image, he picked up the things on the dragon platform and smashed them down.

Fortunately, the ministers hid quickly, otherwise they would have been badly injured by Yu Gui who was smashed down.
