After being forced to marry a tyrant: I overturned the original plot

"He, he just said his last name was Gu..."

"Yes, General, there aren't many people with the last name Gu nowadays, right?"

"He also calls himself the Son of Heaven..."

Guan Yong was so shocked that he almost couldn't lift his knife and it hit his instep.

How could a tyrant come in person?

In the history books that mentioned him in the future, there were few kind words! Why did he come to this disaster area?

"Are you really His Majesty?"

Guan Yong swallowed his saliva. After he asked this, the rest of the people also quieted down.

Not to mention him, even Song De's pupils were shaking. What? The emperor really came? How is that possible!

"Replacement guaranteed."

Gu Fei responded calmly.

"How do you prove it!"

Song De was afraid that it was really Prince Chen who had arrived - then he would be confronting the emperor, and if those spineless people in the city turned against him, what good would happen to him?

As he thought about it, he narrowed his eyes and felt ruthless.

No matter whether it is true or false, this person outside cannot be allowed to live!

Qin Xin knew that Song De, this bad guy, must be thinking about "cracking down on fakes" and killing the king in the chaos.

Then he said quickly——

"Who dares to pretend to be the emperor in front of the imperial envoys? Have you forgotten how violent and...tempered our emperor is!"

Gu Fei turned around and glanced at Qin Xin who swallowed after the word "violent".

Qin Xin winked at him: Oh, I'm so used to calling you a tyrant that I almost let it slip.

"Let's not talk about whether you dare to pretend to be the emperor. Why would our emperor, who is so noble and precious, come to this dangerous place in person? Humph, don't even think about deceiving the people and tricking us into opening the city gates."

Song De became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end his eyes became vicious and his tone changed.

"Even if you are genuine, you are cruel by nature and never care about the suffering of the people. You are pretending to provide disaster relief now - who are you doing this for?"

This is really...

Not entirely wrong.

The emperor has a violent temper. Although they have never experienced it, this is the rumor spread throughout Chen country, which shows that it is groundless...

Before Gu Fei could figure out what tone (character) to use to respond, Qin Xin suddenly grabbed his hand.

Qin Xin clenched her five fingers together and held Gu Fei tightly, then straightened her chest and argued with Song De on his behalf.

"Everyone's understanding of His Majesty comes from rumors and unknowns, but none of you have seen him, so how can you conclude that he is cruel? As the king of a country, why would he take such a big risk to pretend to be kind? He could just let Lord Ge come to provide disaster relief on his behalf!"

"Isn't it because of the traitor Zhou Feng who falsely conveyed the emperor's will? But His Majesty still came, just because he didn't want to abandon every citizen here.

"Fellow citizens of Shuiyue City, the man outside the door gave you food and medicine, and was worried about you suffering inside. The man in front of you is a bandit who robs people of their money and kills them. Just now, he slaughtered your compatriots—"

Qin Xin spoke passionately, in a loud and resounding voice, and continued.

"You have seen his evil with your own eyes."

After saying that, Qin Xin looked at Gu Fei beside him.

It’s not that she felt sorry for him. Gu Fei had the convenience of being a "tyrant", but also bore the infamy. It was a double-edged sword, and they all knew it.

But it doesn't matter. When a villain criticizes him, he can't say "I'm not cruel or harmful."

Looking at the person beside him shouting to defend him, Gu Fei's throat tightened for a moment.

Only she knew his original self, and only she "whitewashed" him without reservation.

Gu Fei felt the strength of his clasped fingers, and the corners of his lips slowly lifted.

Whether the road ahead is confusing or bleak, she is always by his side.

In this way, no matter how difficult it is, it cannot be stopped.

Song De had to use force to deal with the stubborn Guan Yong, while at the same time he had to compete with the loud-mouthed woman outside in verbal combat.

Not sure which one to solve first?

The key is, he can’t solve any of them!

Song De was so angry that he pulled a subordinate away.

"Get out there and pull out that bitch's tongue!"

It was her nagging mouth that made these "soft-hearted" people become hardened and they all wanted to rebel against him.

His men's faces were filled with fear.

"Village, village chief, but outside, outside there is... His Majesty."

"Oh, it's just a fake."

As he spoke, Song De looked at Guan Yong, who was covering his bleeding hand and lost in thought.

"Guan Yong, you and I are in the same boat. Don't listen to him. If you open the city gate now, you will be beheaded! The tyrant is best at chopping off heads! When the time comes, all your soldiers will be executed!"

"Don't listen to him. His Majesty's words in front of so many people are definitely more trustworthy than this bandit who is full of lies! Isn't that right, folks? You can all testify for General Guan!"

Yingying, who was entrusted with an important task by Qin Xin, responded immediately.

"Yes! We in Shuiyue City can all testify that General Guan is a good man. Don't kill him and the Guan family soldiers!"

And Wang Zhenxiong brought by Gu Fei was even more convincing.

"I am your witness that your majesty will never break his word. Guan Yong, if you are a man, open the city gate. Let's go into the city to help the people and then fight openly!"

After hearing General Wang’s assurance, Guan Yong took action.

He suddenly raised his head and looked towards the city gate.

Then he looked at the group of people around him who were eager to go out, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down several times.

He managed to utter with difficulty: "Open the city gate!"

"General!" The military advisor not far away shook the fan in his hand and frowned.

The soldiers wanted to open the city gate, but after taking a few steps forward, they were stopped by Song De and other bandits.

"Let me see who dares?"

Song De waved his knife, shouted at the people to leave, and stared at Guan Yong with burning eyes.

"You coward, you want to surrender, but you don't even ask me if I agree or not!"

"Song De! Don't be so ungrateful. This concerns the safety of the entire city. Don't act recklessly!"

Guan Yong and his men stood in front of the people and confronted the bandits.

Outside the city gate.

Gu Fei turned around, looked at General Wang, and nodded.

The soldiers beside General Wang waved their flags.

Soon, soldiers behind him pushed the siege vehicle forward and it was ready.

Qin Xin opened her eyes and asked Gu Fei in a low voice: "When did you prepare it?"

Gu Fei still looked calm and composed: "Before we set off, we sent an urgent letter over 800 miles to ask the neighboring Shuangmu City to prepare."

Don't fight a battle you are not sure of victory, and don't fight an unnecessary battle.

Now is the best time to control the number of casualties.

"Guan Yong, I order you to evacuate and protect the people immediately."

Gu Fei raised his voice, his voice was cold and clear, and carried his own dignity.

Guan Yong was stunned.

"All good people, get out of the way. Since everyone trusts the court, then this door—"

Qin Xin coughed and smiled proudly and arrogantly.

“We open it ourselves!”

Through the gap, the people in the stronghold saw the siege vehicles and the murderous army ready to take position, and their legs went weak.

"The village chief, he, they are going to attack the city!"

Hearing this, Song De's face changed.

Guan Yong reacted immediately and gave orders to his soldiers.

"Evacuate and protect the people!"

This was probably the first time in history that the people whose city gates were attacked were so happy to see the situation.

"Okay, okay, folks, His Majesty is really here to save us this time!"

"Yes, he didn't attack the city first even though he had siege engines. Instead, he waited for our consent before entering the city... Where can we find such a reasonable king?"

"We are saved, we are saved!"

"Guan Yong, we are about to start the siege. Have the people evacuated safely?"

Qin Xin asked loudly.

For some reason, Guan Yong had the illusion that this eloquent girl was very familiar with him.

This is probably... affinity.

But the emperor... is he really so kind as to use courtesy before force?

He suddenly realized and began to feel ashamed of his past prejudices.

Gu Fei couldn't help laughing when he saw the outgoing Qin Xin.

But when he looked at the city gate in front of him, it was like a torch.

"attack!"
