Chapter 357: Soldiers Approaching the City

"If you want to defend Gushan Pass, you can't defend passively like this, but defeat them and let them retreat!"

Xiaoyao Wang Xia Zelei looked at the black enemy army in the distance, and spoke sonorously.

Facing an army of millions, what he chose was not to defend to the death, but to take the initiative to attack!

"I would like to fight the enemy together with the prince!"

Li Yuanba patted his chest and said, his eyes were full of fiery fighting intent, and he even seemed a little eager to try.

"You bastard..."

Xia Zelei was fortunate that this strong man was from his side, if it was from the enemy country, then he would have a headache.

One person not only defended the ancient mountain pass, but also repelled two middle-level martial arts masters!

Such a record is enough to make him famous.

Now, just wait for the cavalry to arrive.

For that iron cavalry, Xia Zelei is very confident.

Gushanguan fell into a short period of peace, but everyone knew what kind of storm was hidden under this tranquility.

Twilight.

In the early morning, the sky is just a little bit blue.

"Long! Long! Long!"

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, waking up the almost asleep guard standing on the wall.

"what happened?"

One of the guards rubbed his eyes and stood up.

"Chila!"

Suddenly, an arrow flashed past, bringing a rain of blood, and the guard fell limply.

And a companion beside him happened to see this scene.

"Enemy attack!"

The alarm bell at the gate of the city was suddenly sounded, and the entire Twilight City was awakened in the morning light.

"There are garrisons on the border, and they haven't lost their defense. Where did the enemy attack come from?"

After hearing the notification, the monarch questioned in confusion.

Although the battle at Gushan Pass was tight, the troops at the other border gates did not move. Instead, they stepped up their guard. Logically speaking, even if there was a war, there should be battle reports from the front line. How could there be an enemy army? Are soldiers coming to the city?

"Yes...it's Marshal Li..."

The messenger prostrated himself on the ground with a low voice.

"Marshal Li?"

The monarch who was arranging his clothes was startled, and then his pupils froze suddenly, "Li Zhengping?"

After the news of the war from Gushanguan, the Li family disappeared out of thin air, and there was no news. Now, King Xiaoyao also led the troops to the front line, but now, Li Zhengping appeared.

A bad feeling suddenly emerged in the monarch's heart.

Li Zhengping, as the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses, after so many years, the army must have been infiltrated by the Li family long ago.

"Rebellious officials and thieves!"

The monarch clenched his fist, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Quickly call all the earls into the palace to discuss matters!"

After he came to the main hall, all the nobles above the count in the city had already been waiting inside.

On their faces, there is fear, anxiety, and impatience... They are all pampered nobles, and most of them have hereditary titles. Where have you seen such a formation?

Especially those nobles who once fell in love with the Seventh Princess Xia Ziling were even more panicked at this moment.

The purpose of Li Zhengping's troops coming to the city was actually clear to them.

"What's the situation? Li Zheng... What does that thief want to do? Rebellion?"

The monarch slapped the dragon chair with a sound like thunder, and all the nobles in the hall knelt down.

They were afraid of Li Zhengping and his army, but they were even more afraid of the royal family.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Marshal Li has rumored that Xia Ziling, a bewitching witch, will be captured on the side of Lord Qing..."

In the hall, someone answered.

"Witch?"

The monarch stared, "The thief dares to say that my daughter is a witch?"

"Okay, Li Zhengping!"

The last sentence almost came out from between his teeth.

However, he felt a little bitter.

In this city, there are not many people who use it for him.

Because, there are still most of the nobles who are on the side of the Li family.

After all, the Li family has a second prince!

As long as the second prince can ascend to the position of crown prince, then the Li family will only have merit without any fault.

"hateful!"

The monarch groaned in his heart.

Come to think of it, Li Zhengping's instigation of the coalition forces of the two countries to attack Gushan Pass was just to lure Xiaoyao Wang away, but Li Zhengping's real purpose was Twilight!

Very deep calculation.

This was something neither he nor Xiaoyao Wang had thought of.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the demon... the Seventh Princess should be handed over to protect the peace of the country."

In the main hall, someone suggested it.

"Seconded……"

"Seconded……"

"Seconded……"

All of a sudden, voices of approval came from everywhere.

Obviously, this was arranged by the Li family long ago.

The Li family might not have the guts to rebel.

After all, the prestige of the royal family has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Moreover, there are still a few old monsters in the royal family. No one knows whether they are dead or not.

Although soldiers were approaching the city, as long as Li Zhengping did not rebel, those old monsters of the royal family would not show up.

After all, in the eyes of those old monsters, this is just the younger generation vying for the crown prince.

As long as the direct descendants of the royal family sit on the throne, everyone is the same in their eyes. The second prince is no different from Xia Ziling.

Seeing this scene, the monarch held the dragon chair even harder.

"A bunch of bastards!"

Suddenly, he shouted angrily, and the bodies of those nobles trembled.

"Are you deciding the life or death of my daughter now?"

A gloomy voice came, and those nobles lowered their heads even more.

Although they didn't make a sound, their attitude did not change.

This made the monarch not only angry, but also helpless.

He is not as intimidating as Xiaoyao Wang Xia Zelei. If Xia Zelei is sitting in this position, would these people still dare to do this?

He smiled wryly.

The monarch waved his sleeves angrily and left.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses in the city also began to gather, and the nobles who contributed...not many, even less than 20%.

How worrisome is this?

"Xiao Qi, do you know what's going on outside?"

The monarch summoned the seventh princess Xia Ziling, looking at the beautiful daughter in front of him, there was a touch of melancholy in the monarch's eyes.

It's really like her mother, it's almost as if it was carved out of a mill.

Although he sent out all the proposals to marry her mother into the palace, that kind and beautiful woman was actually forced to death by his imperial concubines.

Although he is a monarch, what can he say?

Which of those imperial concubines didn't have a powerful force behind them?

It's not that he doesn't want to spoil this daughter, but that he can't. As the monarch of the principality, he can only secretly send some resources to his daughter.

Otherwise, no matter how talented Xia Ziling is, can he have such a level of cultivation at such an age?

In fact, he was pleasantly surprised that Xia Ziling could get the support of King Xiaoyao. He was even preparing for Xia Ziling's ascension to the position of prince.
