Chapter 975 Loyal Gu Jiantang, a Bowl of Dumplings Sold to Li Yang

"Meet His Highness the King of Beiliang!"

Outside Tai'an City, Han Shengxuan died and Zhao Kai died, but the envoy team sent by the Liyang Zhao family was not dead yet, so they wanted to continue their mission.

Only this time, the envoy turned into Zhao Siku, the great eunuch of Zhao Diao Temple. However, other people in the envoy team did not know that this eunuch Zhao was from Beiliang.

Xu Xiao glanced at Zhao Siku, and neither of their eyes changed at all. The former sat on the horse and asked, "Excuse me, what else did Zhao Dun ask you to bring?"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty said, please forgive me for three days out of consideration for the late emperor."

"Three days later, Your Majesty will confer the titles of kings on the throne. Prince, please go and watch the ceremony and make decisions on how to assist the government after Your Majesty's death."

Zhao Siku completed his mission meticulously and said another thing that Emperor Liyang Zhao Dun said before leaving.

In response to the menacing Beiliang, Zhao Dun and others prepared two plans. If Gao Shulu could seriously injure Xu Xin, then the solution for Beiliang would be to encircle and exterminate them.

And if Gao Shulu failed to cause Xu Xin to be seriously injured, they would choose the low profile of retreating instead of advancing and try to deceive Xu Xin and others into entering the city. Even if the Beiliang army did not fall for the trick and insisted on attacking the city directly, then the Zhao family He will also fight to the death in Tai'an City.

"Okay, I agree to this."

Before Xu Xiao could speak, Xu Xin answered.

He could naturally think of the Zhao family leaving Yang in three days, or that the current Tai'an City would be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, but Xu Xin was not afraid of that. He even wished that the Zhao family would gather all the forces that opposed him in the world into one, so as to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Zhao Diaosi and his party returned to Tai'an City, while one hundred thousand Beiliang cavalry camped less than ten miles outside Yangcheng, and they could see Tai'an City, the imperial capital, from a distance.

In the afternoon of that day, many carriages were pulled from Tai'an City, which contained baggage, food, wine and meat. It is said that the emperor of the Zhao family gave them to reward the Northern Liang army.

Xu Xin accepted the order and confirmed with the messenger again that he would enter Tai'an City in three days.

However, on that night, Xu Xin called Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian and quietly entered Tai'an City.

Tai'an City was in turmoil at this time, and a tense atmosphere enveloped the entire imperial capital.

The legendary murderous 100,000 Northern Liang cavalry were less than ten miles away from them, and Tai'an City did not seem to have many soldiers and horses to defend themselves. This was a very dangerous thing no matter how you looked at it.

On an uninhabited street in Tai'an City, Xu Fengnian beside Xu Xin asked curiously: "Huang Man'er, didn't you mean to give the Zhao family some face? Three days later... Why did you enter the city today? Who are you here to meet?"

Xu Xin smiled mysteriously and said, "That's right! We haven't made an appointment before, but if I call that person, he should come. Moreover, we might even see some interesting things."

Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian were confused, but they still followed Xu Xin to a teahouse at the west gate of the capital. After arriving at the private room on the second floor, they saw a few familiar people.

In addition to Huang Longshi, Hehe girl Jia Jiajia, and Wen Hua wearing a wooden sword, there was also a middle-aged man who looked rather bookish.

"My young prince, this guy is Zhang Yide. If you want to be angry, just throw it at him. You can kill him or chop him into pieces."

Huang Longshi, who was in the top three in Spring and Autumn, looked like a loser, and his goddaughter Jia Jiajia next to him rolled his eyes.

Xu Fengnian looked at Zhang Yide, the contemporary Yanshenggong, who helped Qi Jiajie with that sword, and then caused Xu Xin to change his way to the Yin Academy and send his ancestors away from the world.

"Are you ready to revise the surrender form again, Yanshenggong?"

Xu Xin's words almost made Zhang Yide furious.

"Young prince, forgive Zhang for speaking frankly, your Xu family has not conquered the country yet. And in Zhang's opinion, your chances of winning are not good."

"The young prince may have invincible martial arts, but to win the world is not to rely on personal force, but to gather the support of the people in the world."

"Liyang unified the Central Plains, ended the troubled times, and has the support of the people. Although the vassal kings have their own thoughts, they are all surnamed Zhao. They have already sent troops to the capital. Now they are all in the capital. In addition, in the capital, there is also the King of Beiliang. The equally famous General Gu Jiantang, he is loyal to the imperial court..."

"Loyal General Gu, is that the one you're talking about!"

Xu Xin suddenly interrupted and pointed to the street outside Yajian's window. You could see someone riding alone and stopping at a stall on the street.

"General Gu?"

Zhang Yide looked from the air. Although the distance was far away, he could see clearly for some reason. He immediately recognized that the man riding alone was Gu Jiantang, Liyang's general who was second only to Xu Xiao.

"Do you want to see it more clearly?"

Xu Xin said again, reaching out and pointing at the basin for washing hands in the elegant room next to him, and saw the water flying up, forming a hazy water curtain, and the scene on the street outside the window was actually reflected in it.

Everyone saw that General Gu Jiantang went to a dumpling stall on the roadside and sat down opposite a man and woman.

"Little Clay Man and Cao Qingyi? How could they meet Gu Jiantang?"

Xu Fengnian recognized the man and the woman. The man was elegant but already middle-aged, while the woman was still a young girl. She was Jiang Ni who he had always wanted to "love".

"Her Majesty the Queen of Xichu, as long as you treat me to a bowl of dumplings, I will help you restore your country and establish your kingdom. This deal is a good deal!"

A voice suddenly sounded in Xu Xin's private room. Xu Xiao and Zhang Yide immediately recognized it as Gu Jiantang's voice, and what he said shocked everyone in the room.

"There are only more than 20 dumplings in a big bowl. The entire Liyang territory is only 30 states. One dumpling is worth one state? General Gu, don't you think this deal is a big loss?"

This is Jiang Ni's voice.

"What's the loss? Aren't we all working hard to build a kingdom for others?"

"I don't understand. The general is a high-ranking official in Liyang. Why does he still..."

"I have built a kingdom for the Zhao family for decades. I have done so much, but in the end I couldn't be crowned king. I had no choice but to raise the enemy to protect myself."

"With Xu Xiao in the northwest and Zhang Julu in the court, I can have peace and security. The separatist regimes of the vassal states, in addition to those vassal kings who are too powerful to be eliminated, there are also military towns in various places, including my Gu Jiantang's subordinates."

"How the Zhao family treats meritorious officials, I believe you all know that the rabbit is not dead, and the dog is cooked before the rabbit is dead. In the past, the white-clothed case in the capital, not only Beiliang and Xu Xiao were chilled, but I, Gu Jiantang, was also afraid!"

"Why didn't the general Choose Beiliang Xu family? "

"Cao Changqing asked me, but Her Majesty asked me why I didn't choose Xu family? It's really interesting!"

"But this question is not impossible to answer."

"Xu Xiao and I have been competing for a lifetime. I can't get over the hurdle in my heart to work for Xu family."

"As for why I chose Xichu, it's because Cao Changqing promised me that once Xichu is successful, Jiang will become the co-leader of Central Plains, and all the merits of Beimang will belong to me. I will naturally not refuse such an invitation."

"Loyal Gu Jiantang, a bowl of dumplings sold in Liyang, Xiao Zhang, you are really good at judging people!"

After Gu Jiantang finished speaking, the other side seemed to be silent all of a sudden, and in the private room of the teahouse, Huang Longshi was adding insult to injury.
