Chapter 927 The Kings of All Generations Have Never Abandoned Me! I Have Waited for the Left Prime Minister for a Long Time!

Linzi Royal City, Ancestral Temple.

King Jian of Qi performed the sacrificial ceremony under the gaze of the officials of Qi State, took off his crown and clothes, and placed the sacrificial jade on the wooden plate held by Hou Sheng.

Touching the big seal in his hand - the last object that could reveal his identity as King of Qi, King Qi Jian was reluctant to give up and his heart was filled with despair.

He has been living in poverty all his life! I have endured it for a lifetime!

The only time it broke out, it resulted in such a tragic ending!

How he wished that this moment could be slower, slower, or even turn into eternity!

Although he can no longer use this big seal to exercise the power of King Qi, he can at least look at this big seal to recall his past glory as King of Qi!

However, the continuous calls outside the ancestral temple repeatedly ruined Qi Wangjian's mood.

Qi Wangjian's eyes were still firmly glued to the big seal, and he asked in a cold and dissatisfied voice: "What's causing the noise outside!"

Chunyu Hu hurriedly ran outside the ancestral temple, and then rushed back to the ancestral temple at an even faster speed, shouting loudly: "Report to the great king!"

"It's the soldiers at the top of the city who are shouting: Respectfully welcome the left prime minister to return to the court!"

The ministers of Qi State:! ! !

Qi Wangjian: (▽)

Qi Wangjian suddenly became energetic and asked loudly and excitedly: "The left prime minister is still in court?!"

Although the coalition's combat power is weak and unable to stop Ying Chengyu from ordering the Earth Dragon to stand up, the coalition still has nearly a million troops!

That's an army of nearly one million!

With nearly a million troops in hand, no matter how brave Ying Chengyu is, it is not easy to lead a hundred thousand Qin troops to escape and ascend to heaven, let alone break through Linzi City!

Survived from a desperate situation, Qi Wangjian laughed maniacally: "Hahaha!!!"

"Heaven will not help us, and the earth will not bless us, but our ancestors have protected us deeply!"

"From now on, I will no longer believe in the so-called gods!"

"After this battle, we will definitely pay tribute to our ancestors!"

Facing the memorial tablets of past kings, he bowed deeply and handed over his hands. Qi Wangjian shouted excitedly: "My dear friends, please go with me to welcome the left prime minister in triumph!"

While shouting, Qi Wangjian rushed out of the ancestral temple and ran towards the city wall, shirtless.

However, the courtiers of Qi were not as optimistic as Wang Jian of Qi.

Tian He looked at Chunyu Hu and asked solemnly: "Which left prime minister are the soldiers calling for?"

Chunyu Hu shook his head helplessly: "I don't know."

"It's just that our Linzi City has not yet received any military report that Zuo Xiang's troops intend to return, and the Linzi City scouts have not found any trace of Zuo Xiang's troops."

Chunyu Hu said he didn't know, but just listening to Chunyu Hu's words, he knew that Chunyu Hu had already made a guess in his heart.

The Qin army outside the city did not block the gates of Linzi City, nor did they launch a siege of Linzi City. The messengers could move forward unimpeded.

But what about the messengers under Li Mu?

Li Mu was an excellent general. When he made important decisions such as leading his troops south to Linzi, it was impossible for him not to report to the kings of Dai and Qi.

It is even more impossible that Li Mu did not know that he should send messengers to notify the target being rescued before rushing for reinforcements, so as to boost the morale of the target being rescued and give the target being rescued a better chance of persisting until the reinforcements arrived.

The only reason why Linzi City still hasn’t seen Li Mu’s messenger troops is that Li Mu has not yet returned for reinforcements!

Sun Ping, the internal historian, sighed bitterly: "If the soldiers are not welcoming Zuo Xiangmu, they will only be Zuo Xiangcheng!"

"I never thought that before my Majesty the Qi Dynasty issued the order to surrender, all the soldiers in the city had already asked to surrender!"

"I, Da Qi, will definitely be despised by future generations of gentlemen!"

Listening to the shouts, Sun Ping felt particularly ridiculed.

They were still in Wu Palace discussing whether to surrender, and many courtiers were still admonishing King Jian of Qi to fight resolutely.

But in fact, the soldiers had already made their decision with the guns in their hands!

Even if the monarchs and ministers of Da Qi still want to fight to the death, the soldiers of Da Qi will not die for them anymore!

There was a sigh in the ancestral temple.

Looking at Qi Wangjian's bare back from a distance, the sighs kept rising and falling.

Hou Sheng tightened his grip on the tray in his hand and shouted coldly: "Do you, my colleagues, want to be surrendered citizens, or do you want to be prisoners of the defeated army?!"

With his eyes scanning around the courtiers in the hall, Hou Sheng held the tray firmly and chased after Qi Wangjian.

After hearing Hou Sheng's reminder, Sun Ping and other court officials quickly restrained their complicated emotions and followed Hou Sheng's footsteps.

Seeing most of the courtiers hurriedly running towards the city wall, Tian He lamented sadly: "If all our ancestors in Qi Dynasty saw the scene like today, they would all cover their faces with their sleeves!"

With a flick of his sleeves, Tian He strode out of the ancestral temple and shouted in a deep voice: "Now the king is cowardly, the generals avoid fighting, and the soldiers surrender."

"We, Da Qi Sheji, shall die today!"

"However, the former overlord An Neng died in such an embarrassing state!"

"How can we, who have lived on millet for a long time, be able to survive in this world after the state of Qi has collapsed?"

"Those who are willing to co-exist with me, the State of Qi, will return to the government with me and organize the army!"

The faces of the Qi courtiers clearly showed signs of struggle. In the end, Chun Yuhu and more than 20 other courtiers strode away in the opposite direction to the other ministers with their chests raised and their heads raised!

"Left Prime Minister!"

Tian Dan was looking worriedly at the direction of the Qin army at the top of the city when he heard a familiar shout.

Tian Dan was startled, turned around in horror, and loudly held his hands in his hands: "Greetings to your Majesty!"

Tian Dan never expected that the Qin army would suddenly stop its momentum after he asked for surrender. Instead, Qi Wangjian, who lived in Wu Palace, came here first!

Full of fear, Tian Dan raised his head slightly, wanting to observe Qi Wangjian's face first to decide how he would excuse himself next.

As a result, Tian Dan saw that Qi Wangjian was only wearing a linen undergarment, completely exposing his rich, fair, oily upper body to the cold wind!

Under the cold wind, Qi Wangjian's upper body clearly had goosebumps, and was even a little red from the cold.

But Qi Wangjian's face was filled with joy and excitement, and he kept shouting: "My left prime minister is finally back in court!"

"I have taken all the treasures, and all of them should be given to the Prime Minister as a reward!"

"All the granaries, arsenals, court officials and common people of Da Qi can be dispatched by the left prime minister!"

"I am willing to use all the strength of Qi State to support the left and counterattack against Qin, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Tian Dan:? ? ?

Your Majesty, is this... crazy?

Half-naked all the way to the crenellations of the city wall, Qi Wangjian held his hands on the crenels and looked around, but did not see the familiar flag.

"Left Prime Minister?"

A strong sense of panic suddenly hit his heart. Qi Wangjian looked around blankly. When he saw the familiar Tian Dan, he immediately asked anxiously: "Where is the Prime Minister?!"

"Where is my leftist prime minister?!"

Tian Dan's disrespectful thoughts were instantly extinguished, replaced by intense tension and fear.

But now that the matter has come to this, what else can Tian Dan do?

Raising his trembling arms, Tian Dan pointed to the outside of the city and said, "Report to the king."

"Prime Minister Zuo, right there."

Qi Wangjian followed Tian Dan's gesture and said angrily: "I am the left prime minister of Qi I am asking about!"

"The banner that Ai Qing refers to is the Qin army's banner!"

"Where is my leftist prime minister?!"

Tian Dan whispered: "I don't know where the left prime minister is."

King Jian of Qi was slightly startled: "I heard in the city that the voice of the people shouting respectfully to welcome the left prime minister was particularly loud."

"How could I not know where Prime Minister Zuo is?!"

But as soon as the question was asked, Qi Wangjian caught the key words in Tian Dan's words.

Be the left prime minister!

Qi Wangjian's pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes were fixed on Tian Dan and he asked: "You don't know where the left prime minister is."

"Then the left prime minister you just welcomed was the left prime minister of which dynasty?!"

Tian Dan closed his eyes, felt hard, raised his hands and shouted softly: "The one the soldiers are shouting to greet us is Xiangcheng Xiang from the front and left!"

Qi Wangjian rushed to Tian Dan, grabbed Tian Dan's lapel tightly and picked him up, roaring angrily: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Even if our officers and soldiers of Da Qi don't know that Lord Qin Chang'an is no longer the left prime minister of our state of Qi, don't we, our officers and soldiers of Da Qi, not be able to see clearly the flags of the Qin army, and don't they know that our Da Qi is at war with Qin!"

"How could our Daqi soldiers call the enemy's commander-in-chief the left prime minister! They even respectfully welcome the enemy's left prime minister to return to the court!"

Looking at this scene, Gao Shuang secretly loosened his collar and took a few steps back silently.

Tian Dan said bitterly: "Your Majesty, people's hearts are like this!"

"The soldiers are all shouting like this, I can't control them at all!"

"and!"

Tian Dan's eyes turned to Qi Wang Jiang's naked upper body, and Tian Dan had something in his mind.

Being naked at the time of such bitter cold was obviously not because Qi Wangjian was panicking because of the heat, but because Qi Wangjian was already preparing to surrender!

Although I don’t want to fight to the death, Your Majesty surrendered first!

Tian Dan's voice was more confident and sincere: "Qin Chang'an Jun is a great witch who is loved by heaven and earth. What Qin Changan Jun does is really the intention of heaven and earth!"

"We, Da Qi, are kings on behalf of the herdsmen of Heaven. Since the earth today intends to hand over the power of the herdsmen to Lord Qin Chang'an, how can we, Da Qi, go against heaven?"

"Because I, the ancestors of the great Qi Dynasty, are not in the underworld and are blamed by Hou Tu, I respectfully ask the king to act according to the will of God!"

Qi Wangjian let go of Tian Dan's clothes and staggered towards the city wall.

The rough and hard city wall stacks cut a red mark on Qi Wangjian's fair skin, but Qi Wangjian did not feel any pain, because his heart hurt even more!

"The soldiers are not welcoming Zuo Xiang Mu, but Zuo Xiang Chengyu?!"

King Jian of Qi cried out sadly: "The Prime Minister of the Left has not yet led his troops to come back for reinforcements, but our officers and soldiers of Da Qi have already asked to surrender!"

"It's hard to be a widower!!!"

The sweet dream we just weaved was shattered!

In just half an hour, Qi Wangjian's heart went from panic to despair, from despair to ecstasy, and from ecstasy to despair again.

If it were not for the fact that Qi Wangjian was not yet old, the violent emotional changes in this short period of time would have been enough for Qi Wangjian to pass away!

"King!" Hou Sheng finally ran up the city wall.

Seeing Qi Wangjian falling under the city wall, Hou Sheng hurriedly ran to Qi Wangjian's side and asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Qi Wangjian raised his head, looked at Hou Sheng with sad eyes and asked: "Uncle!"

"The soldiers who respectfully welcome the Zuo Xiangmu are not the Zuo Xiangmu of our Da Qi dynasty, but the Lord Qin Changan!"

Hou Sheng sighed softly, nodded and said, "I already know this."

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to think about these things, let alone to feel sad!"

Hou Sheng said solemnly: "The soldiers have asked to surrender. The situation is extremely unfavorable to the king!"

"If the Qin army enters the city before the king asks to surrender, the king will be a prisoner of defeat!"

"Only if the king asks for surrender before the Qin army enters the city, can the king serve the people who ask for surrender!"

"Your Majesty, time is running out!"

Qi Wangjian came back to his senses, was horrified, and shouted angrily: "It's just that my soldiers failed to charge into battle and expand the territory for me."

"Now he stabs me in the back again!"

Getting up with difficulty, King Jian of Qi looked in the direction of the Qin army's banner and shouted loudly:

"I have waited for the left prime minister for a long time!"

"The left prime minister, finally!"
