Chapter 551 There is no way out
"Speak out in danger!" Before the Grand Marshal Li Jipeng finished speaking, Prime Minister Duan Feiyu sternly refuted, "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter should be realistic.
First of all, the demon clan had promised to stop after destroying the Aoyun Empire. However, during the demon clan's attack on the Aoyun Empire, the demon clan passed through our border countless times, but it was always unsuccessful.
This is enough to show the sincerity of the demon clan.
Secondly, the fundamental reason for the demon clan's declaration of war this time was that Huangfu Ming sent troops without authorization and rescued the demon clan's enemies, but instead killed many demon clan's people.
From these two points, regardless of whether the demon race has ambitions or not, at least we do not have any reason.
Therefore, I believe that we should first apologize to the demon clan to see if there is a way to make up for the losses of the demon clan, and let the demon clan withdraw its troops and eliminate the disaster."
The Grand Marshal Li Jipeng snorted coldly, "What if the demon clan doesn't accept it?"
"Kill Huangfu Ming!" Prime Minister Duan Feiyu said the most cruel decision in a ferocious tone.
This made the Emperor of Canglan Empire unable to help it, "Prime Minister, according to your opinion, if the demon clan accepts negotiations, we will hand Huangfu Ming over to the demon clan, and there is obviously no way out.
And if the demon clan refuses to negotiate, we still have to kill Huangfu Ming? Why?
If the demon clan refuses to negotiate, then Huangfu Ming is a rare commander of the empire!”
"Your Majesty, if the demon clan refuses to negotiate, it will mean a tragic war. At that time, there will be a disaster for all living beings. Huang Fu Ming, the culprit who caused the demon clan to declare war, must give the world an explanation. Similarly, Your Majesty also needs to use Huang Fu Ming to calm the public's anger!"
The court was quiet and no one spoke. But the heavy breathing seemed to indicate the surging dark waves.
After a while of silence, the Grand Marshal Li Jipeng said, "Huangfu Ming is a rare talent in the empire. Killing one Huangfu Ming is equivalent to abolishing 30% of the empire's combat power!"
"But if killing Huangfu Ming can calm the public's anger and let the people fight side by side, then Huangfu Ming will die as his best.
Moreover, since ancient times, heroes have been created, and there has never been a shortage of capable people among the people. As long as the war continues and His Majesty issues an order to seek talents, there will naturally be countless capable people who will gather around His Majesty."
Li Jipeng was furious: "Your Majesty, no! Huangfu Ming is very prestige, and this time he is a heroic rescue. Huangfu Ming cannot be killed no matter what. Otherwise, the morale of the army will be dispersed, and the whole country will not have the will to fight to the death, and the generals will not have the will to die!"
In the court, a group of officials looked at the prime minister and the Grand Marshal. What they said made sense, and for a moment everyone didn't know how to make a decision.
The prime minister sneered: "It is true that Huangfu Ming has a high prestige, but Huangfu Ming does not know how to cherish it, but instead he holds his own troops. He does not need military talismans to mobilize the army. It is fine. If a large-scale war starts, what if Huangfu Ming listens to the tune or not?"
This is ruthless, almost saying that - the master is overwhelmed by his great merits, Huangfu Ming has the power to rebel!
Li Jipeng was stunned, but still didn't want to give up, "But... it can be completely allowed to make Huangfu Ming punish him. Huangfu Ming really can't kill him! Otherwise, the morale of the whole country will be in chaos!"
The Emperor of Canglan Empire frowned when he heard this. It was an indisputable fact that Huangfu Ming was very good at defeating the lord; but it was also a fact that Huangfu Ming could not kill him. If he really wanted to kill Huangfu Ming, his whole heart would inevitably collapse.
This is really a dilemma.
The prime minister smiled faintly and said, "What if it was suicide?"
Crack! It seems like a lightning flash struck the emperor of Canglan Empire, the Grand Marshal Li Jipeng, and everyone's hearts.
After a little pause, Prime Minister Duan Feiyu continued: "Your Majesty, let's send people to negotiate with the demon clan to see if the demon clan is willing to accept the apology and to cease the war.
If not, then we can only order the national war of resistance. We cannot become the second Aoyun Empire.
But no matter what, this war was caused by Huangfu Ming on the surface, so Huangfu Ming had to die. Only when Huangfu Ming died could the people calm their anger; only when Huangfu Ming died could His Majesty command the three armies.
But Huangfu Ming cannot die at the hands of His Majesty. All problems can be solved by letting Huangfu Ming commit suicide."
This... the emperor is a little hesitant. If someone commits suicide? Who would like to do it?
Prime Minister Duan Feiyu seemed to lament, "Your Majesty, let me do this."
The Emperor of Canglan Empire nodded slightly. Huangfu Ming's fate was also drawn to the end. The Grand Marshal Li Jipeng next to him opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word. Two consecutive masters of great merits were locked down, and Huangfu Ming would die even if he didn't die!
Before leaving, the prime minister added a few more words: "In order to show Your Majesty's kindness, please temporarily put down the remnants of the Aoyun Empire and the people of the Huangfu family, and ensure that they are not harmed."
The Emperor of Canglan Empire nodded slightly and did not speak.
After the prime minister withdrew from the hall, he went straight to the Huangfu family and found Huangfu Ming.
The tea was served and left and right. Only Prime Minister Duan Feiyu and Huangfu Ming were left in the living room. Smile slid down Duan Feiyu's face, and a little "pity" appeared: "Brother Huangfu, do you know your current situation?"
Huangfu Ming seemed unmoved and answered the question unanimously: "It's easy to make up."
The prime minister looked at Huangfu Ming quietly. After a while, he slowly took out a small box from his body and pushed it to the center of the table. "Brother Huangfu, we have been friends with each other for many years. You know who I am.
For this country, I lost my reputation. I will definitely be a traitor who has been infatuated for thousands of years, and my descendants will be ashamed of me.
But, there are some things that always need to be done.
The human race has been peaceful for a long time, and the whole country does not want to fight. And Your Majesty is actually the person who is most afraid of war.
But now, we can't change the emperor. So, I can only force the emperor to make a decision to fight to the death.
And don’t look at the generals clamoring for war, if a war that will break out, these people will probably take the lead in running for life.
You don’t have to doubt my judgment. I am not as good as you in military terms, but you are not as good as me in terms of mastery and observation of the country and grasp of people’s hearts.
If the empire is to bravely resist the invasion of the demon clan, then I can only completely cut off His Majesty’s retreat and force His Majesty to fight to the decisive battle!"
Huangfu Ming's eyes drooped down, slowly reached out and picked up the box on the table and stuffed it into his arms. He asked calmly: "Time."
"Three days later! After the representative who failed negotiations with the demon clan returned to the imperial capital."
"good."
Prime Minister Duan Feiyu sighed and drank the tea in one sip, "Your family, don't worry."
Then get up and leave.
…………
Time flies, and three days pass quickly. The people who went to negotiate in the Canglan Empire did indeed fail. The demon clan finally found an excuse, so how could he let go? A large number of demon clans began to fight against the borders of the Canglan Empire, and many demon clans were still covered with human blood.
When the news of the failure of negotiations came, Huangfu Ming opened the box and drank the poison in it. That night, Huangfu Ming, the military god of Canglan Empire, and the master of the God Transformation Stage, left his hands back to heaven. All rights and rights were peacefully transitioned to the hands of the Emperor of Canglan Empire.
The Huangfu family was covered with mourning, but few people came to pay their respects. On the contrary, many people blamed Huangfu Ming for meddling in other people's business and causing trouble!
With the help of this "commendation", Prime Minister Duan Feiyu began to take over the national military management in full, and the Canglan Empire also learned the lesson of the destruction of the Aoyun Empire, and the whole country began to take action.
But, it’s a bit late to start the action now? The army of the demon clan, which is beyond the limit, has reached the border!
Just as the Canglan Empire was preparing for war, the demon clan launched a brazen attack. Millions of demon clans, large and small, broke through the border defense of the Canglan Empire in just one day. The strong border defense Great Wall was torn apart by a crazy dragon, and less than 10,000 troops on the border of the Canglan Empire escaped.
Duan Longquan, the young man, also ran for his life in a panic, and no longer cared about elegance.
The Canglan Empire is in full swing!
……………………
Dingdang... Dingdang... The cheerful ringtone echoed in the valley. The horse pulling the cart rang leisurely, and stopped from time to time to eat a few bites of wild flowers.
Zhang Quan drove the carriage and moved forward slowly. Another half month passed, and Zhang Quan and his party passed through four countries.
Now, Zhang Quan has the seals of aristocratic people from six countries and the seals of four countries. Xiang Bowen and Zhang Yuan are not bad either.
Later, Zhang Quan also accepted two wholehearted disciples.
What we are going to now is the imperial capital of Zhongshan Kingdom, with five thousand elite troops escorting them from front, back, left and right.
However, Zhang Quan was not in a very relaxed mood at this time, because for half a month, Zhang Quan discovered that all countries along the way were actually affected by previous inexplicable forces. This time the impact was so widespread.
"What the hell is it?" Zhang Quan always dared not, nor did he want to admit a ridiculous guess.
