The Princess of Northern Land - Chapter 865 Ending (8)

The people in Fengcheng were also very enthusiastic, standing on the roadside with food and stuffing it into the hands of the soldiers.

Twenty thousand people traveled lightly and arrived in Liaocheng in half a month.

Guan Qinggu was having a headache about what kind of excuse he would use to attack Beidi. Unexpectedly, Chu Suifeng took the initiative to provide him with an opportunity.

“General Wu, Mr. Situ, what do you mean?” he asked angrily while standing on the tower.

“You want to rebel?” King Rui directly put a big hat on them.

“Prince Rui is really good at joking. Have you ever seen 20,000 people attack a city with 100,000 troops waiting?” Situ Gong asked with a smile and a calm attitude.

“Then what do you mean?” King Rui’s face was gloomy, no longer as gentle as before.

“We were ordered to capture the thieves hiding in Liaocheng. He colluded with the people from the North, kidnapped the princess, and resold the food behind her back. It was a heinous crime. At the same time, this man was very cunning and had many accomplices, so the prince specially sent me to arrest him in one fell swoop. No one who colludes will be released.” Situ Gong replied loudly, “Secondly, we are following the order of the prince to take over Liaocheng.”

“Situ Gong, what do you mean by taking over Liaocheng?” Guan Qinggu asked coldly, feeling a bad feeling in his heart.

“According to the decree of the late emperor, all states and counties in the North should belong to the prince’s fiefdom. Although Liaocheng is on the border, it belongs to our North. If you don’t believe it, General Guan can go back and check the map.” Situ Gong replied with a smile.

“That’s nonsense.” King Rui pointed at him coldly, “I think you are Sima Zhao’s heart. When did Liaocheng belong to the North? But this time, I came with a will, and the rebels Mei Hanqing and Wu Jie, Yuan Yanzhao and Shao Liufeng disobeyed the imperial edict, and I was ordered to capture them and bring them back to the capital, please send them here quickly.”

“Prince Rui had better read more books before talking, otherwise, he will make a joke.” General Wu laughed and said, “Whether Liaocheng belongs to the Northland, you can check the map of Hongzhao period when you go back. You know, the late emperor had a clear target.”

This was calling him a straw bag with an empty stomach, and King Rui was so angry that his face turned livid.

“Also, this is the first time I heard someone say that there are still people who rush people to become officials.” General Wu played a big boss and tried his best to annoy King Rui, “Okay, if you can’t stand it yourself, you can go directly to Let’s go to Fengcheng to arrest them, but no one is stopping them. However, whoever dares to stop me from arresting the rebels today, I will never show mercy.”

“I’m sorry, General Guan. When do you think it would be more appropriate for us to enter the city?” Situ Gong looked like a good old man.

Guan Qinggu’s face was ashen and he handed over the city. How could he have the power? The opponent’s posture is clearly one of grabbing if you don’t give.

Liaocheng is an important pass. On the old map, it is indeed a state belonging to the Northland. But after the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he completely changed his attitude.

Situ Gong held on to the old imperial calendar, which made him feel like he was in the wrong.

“Situ Gong, I ask you to hand over this person immediately, otherwise, you will be punished as a traitor.” When King Rui saw the people in Beidi, he couldn’t help but want to vent his anger.

“The prince can look for him by himself in the North. No one will stop him. Therefore, the ordinary people dare not accept the big hat that the prince gives to the common people.” Situ Gong said slowly, as if he was trying to reason with him.

Guan Qinggu has always been an old man. When he saw that Situ Gong had been probing and irritating King Rui, he immediately stopped him.

“Your Majesty, Situ Gong is full of tricks. They are coming with bad intentions. It’s better to wait and see what happens.”
