I really didn't want to be emperor

Seibu Castle.

In the front hall of the Governor's Mansion.

The atmosphere was very tense. King Pingxi's eyes fell on the prince, "His Majesty, your concern is not unreasonable."

"If the Western Wei Dynasty unites the nations to join forces to fight against the Xia, we cannot stop it with our strength."

The prince's face sank, and he said: "The war has ended, just give up everything you currently have, and the Nine Kings uncle is willing?"

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "Even if we withdraw now, the Western Wei Dynasty will give up?"

King Pingxi fell into silence, and at this moment he was also very embarrassed, the will of Emperor Xia came too suddenly.

The most important thing is that he didn't want to give up the current good situation. How many years has passed since Xia Jun fought the Western Wei Dynasty and won such a big victory for the first time.

The prince clenched his fist on the wooden table and thought for a moment, "Uncle Nine Kings, the Western Wei Dynasty can join the nations to fight against Chu, can't we?"

King Pingxi said: "His Royal Highness means..."

The prince said again: "Uncle Nine Kings, Wei is frustrated in the west, and 500,000 troops have arrived. I believe that the strength of other places will be very weak. We can join the Southern Chu to attack the Western Wei."

"People in the world are all for profit. As long as the temptation of our benefits is big enough, I believe Nan Chu will not refuse."

King Pingxi squinted his eyes and looked at the prince in the upper position, "This is not impossible, but your majesty's will has come, should we resist it?"

The crown prince showed a haze on his face, which was really puzzling, why did the Xia Emperor suddenly make such a will.

As the prince blatantly resisting the decree, the ruling and the opposition will be shocked and criticized.

There was a moment of silence.

The prince said: "Uncle Jiuwang, send someone to send this decree to the third child, and see what his opinion is. After hearing the reply from the third child, we will make a decision."

King Pingxi said: "Alright, I will send someone there now."

Half an hour later, Gao Huan and Liu Erbing headed to Xishan City with a letter written by the prince.

........

Inside Siping Pass.

King Pingyang appeared in the pavilion, even though he had receded the broken armor on his body, his face was still terrified.

I have lingering fears, worrying that Xia Jun will enter Siping Pass at any time.

In the front hall.

King Pingyang sat on the wooden chair, looking at the warlord below, and said in a deep voice: "Generals, how much the Pingyang army lost in the previous battle."

A battle commander slowly stood up and bowed, "I'll tell the prince, more than half of the 100,000 army has lost."

King Pingyang's face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "Damn Xia Jun, damn King Xiaoyao, this king must make them pay for it."

The warlord said again: "My lord, our army has suffered heavy losses, and the Xia army is like a broken bamboo. These troops may not be able to stop Xia Jun. Will the lord report Xia Jun's situation to the sage?"

King Pingyang said: "The empire's army is all in West Cloud City, and the prince is leading 400,000 troops. If the king reports the situation on the battlefield to his majesty, it can only show that the king is incompetent."

"Pingyang County is a territory of this king, but Xia Jun is defeated here. Even if your majesty sends an army, the king will be the first to kill."

The generals were silent, and there was silence in the front hall.

King Pingyang said again: "Where is Xia Jun now?"

"Back to the prince, Xia Jun is stationed ten miles outside the Guan, and there is no change at the moment." A general said.

King Pingyang muttered to himself: "After chasing all night, Xia Jun is an iron man, and they will be tired."

at this time.

A soldier appeared. After entering the front hall, "Master, the housekeeper of the palace is here."

The face of King Pingyang changed, and an ominous premonition appeared in his heart. The housekeeper appeared at this time, and it must be a major event in Pingyang City.

"Let the butler in!"

The next moment, the butler entered the front hall, looking very tired.

"Master, Pingyang City is in chaos, and the palace is also in chaos."

King Pingyang said: "What is going on, tell this king clearly."

The steward said: "Back to the prince, weird things often happen in the city these few days, and the same is true in the palace. Blood weapons appeared in the palace for three consecutive days, and when it was midnight, there were strange laughter and laughter in the palace. Exclamation."

King Pingyang said angrily: "There are so many soldiers guarding the palace, hasn't it been found abnormal?"

The housekeeper nodded, "Back to the prince, the soldiers have checked the palace many times. After nightfall, they will patrol the pavilions. Even so, they still find nothing."

King Pingyang softened and sat slumped on the wooden chair, "Weapons with blood, but no murder. This is someone who is telling him that if you want to kill people from the palace, it's easy and effortless."

this moment.

There was a figure in his mind, and a rush of cold from the depths of the soul instantly spread across his body. King Pingyang was very, very sure, everything that happened in the palace was inseparable from King Xiaoyao.

I have long heard Xiaoyao behave cunningly, but I have never heard of him being so mean.

Things on the battlefield are resolved on the battlefield. Sending people to engage in the royal palace is nothing.

At this time.

The steward said: "The prince, the princess is pleasantly surprised. She has been in bed for a few days, and the doctors in the city are helpless."

"Looking at the situation of the princess, I'm afraid it won't last long. The princess asked the old slave to invite the prince back to the city."

King Pingyang slapped the wooden case with a palm, and roared angrily: "King Xiaoyao, this king and you will never die."

"Report!"

"Report!"

A soldier rushed in and shouted loudly, "Tell the prince, the Xia Guo pioneer army outside the pass has come, shouting outside the pass, and shouting that the prince will abandon Siping Pass, otherwise he will regret it."

Hearing the report from the soldiers, King Pingyang's eyes were cracked, and he didn't guess wrong. Everything that happened in Pingyang City was controlled by King Xiaoyao.

The generals heard Xia Jun shouting outside the pass, and their faces were extremely ugly. They were chased and beaten last night, and they were really afraid of being beaten.

Xia Jun is now their nightmare, especially Ye Jun, Guan Yu and Qin Yong's trio of brave looks, lingering in their minds.

All the gazes fell on King Pingyang, the latter's face was like ashes, and he didn't expect to meet Ye Jun, making him helpless.

When the soldiers came down, the backyard caught fire. Isn't this giving people a way to survive and wanting to kill him?

There was a long silence.

King Pingyang looked at the soldier in front of him and asked, "Who sent by King Xiaoyao to call in the battle?"

The soldier said, "Going back to the prince, the green hat has a red face and a knife, which is really scary."

The green hat blushed with a knife, this is not Guan Yu, who else?

Thinking of Guan Yu chasing after him and swept the blocking army last night, King Pingyang's legs felt a little bit soft.

"The order goes on, the army guards the pass firmly, and after nightfall, withdraw!"

A war fighter said: "Master, just give Siping Pass to Xia Jun?"

King Pingyang said: "Why, you are very unwilling to look at you. If so, you are responsible for guarding Siping Pass and buying time for the army to withdraw."

The general quickly said: "Lord, I..."

King Pingyang said again: "Needless to say, this king knows your loyalty."
