Zuo Shuang and Meng Luo walked and chatted as they entered the Chinese military tent. Originally, Zuo Shuang wanted to ask Meng Luo to sit in the coach's position, but Meng Luo refused to say anything. Seeing that he was not polite and humble, Zuo Shuang had no choice but to give up.

The guests and guests were seated.

After a few more polite words, Zuo Shuang asked: "Meng Xiang is here, must there be something going on?"

"Haha!" Meng Luo smiled slightly and said, "No matter what happens, don't leave Deng Sanbao Hall. The truth is, there is indeed something." After a pause, he asked: "How is General Zuo Shuang's life in Feng Country?"

When Zuo Shuang heard this, his old face suddenly turned red. The questioner may not have meant it, but the listener definitely meant it. He was originally a Ning general, but now the Ning country was destroyed by the wind. He failed to repay his country with his death, but instead defected to the Feng country. Speaking of which,

Feeling ashamed in his heart, he laughed dryly and said, "It's okay, it's okay!"

The two countries, Feng and Mo, joined forces to defeat Ning. This was the intention of the emperor and the imperial court. In front of Meng Luo, Zuo Shuang could not say much.

Meng Luo took a deep look at Zuo Shuang, changed the subject, and suddenly asked: "Is it true that General Zuo Shuang is willing to be a minister of the court, and does not want to avenge Ning Guo and His Highness Prince Ning?"

Ah? Zuo Shuang was dumbfounded. What did Meng Luo mean by this? Did he come here specifically to test him? He straightened his face and said hurriedly: "The former king was disrespectful and unfaithful to the emperor. It is destiny to die in the Feng Mo Kingdom. In the end,

How dare you..."

Before he finished speaking, Meng Luo burst into laughter and said, "Feng and Mo are joining forces to attack Ning. Does General Zuo Shuang really think that is His Majesty's will?"

"Could it be..."

"Your Majesty had an order, but he was overthrown by the sycophant Tang Yin!" Meng Luo gritted his teeth and said: "Tang Yin used the imperial court to bully your majesty and the imperial court in his country. It has reached an intolerable level. If General Zuo Shuang

If you are truly loyal to the emperor, you should fight against thieves for the country!"

These words were too shocking for Zuo Shuang. The Emperor now lives in Feng Country and is bound to be restrained by Tang Yin. He can imagine it. However, Meng Luo dared to say such words in public. He couldn't help but be surprised.

.

Meng Luo didn't give Zuo Shuang any time to think about it. He took out the emperor's secret edict from his arms, handed it to Zuo Shuang, and whispered: "General Zuo Shuang, this is the edict against rebellion written by the emperor himself. Please take a look at it, general."

Disobeying the imperial edict? Zuo Shuang looked at the brocade scroll that Meng Luo handed to him, swallowed and did not react for a long time.

Munro squinted his eyes, looked directly at Zuo Shuang, and said again: "General, please take a look!"

Zuo Shuang came back to his senses, took the edict with trembling palms, unfolded it, and carefully read the contents from beginning to end. After reading it, he fell into deep thought again.

"General Zuo Shuang, the Emperor has listed Tang Yin's crimes in the edict. Now is a good time for the general to show his loyalty to the Emperor. It is also a shame for the country. Why is the general still hesitating?" Meng Luo stared at it without blinking.

He looked at Zuo Shuang and said in a gloomy and urgent tone.

"This..." Zuo Shuang frowned and shook his head silently.

His hatred for Tang Yin was not as deep as Meng Luo imagined. As a native of Ning and a general who would subjugate his country, Tang Yin not only did not kill him, but instead valued him, and even ignored his humble background and granted him a trust with great trust.

As the commander-in-chief of an army, these things filled Zuo Shuang's heart with gratitude.

Of course, he also has a grudge against Tang Yin. After all, it was Tang Yin who destroyed the Ning Kingdom and killed King Ning. Zuo Shuang's current status in the Feng Army is very embarrassing, and his feelings for Tang Yin are also very complicated, but it is by no means the opposite.

It can be reversed.

What's more, this matter is of great importance, not just for him, but for the life and death of the entire army. How can he dare to make a hasty decision?

After a long silence, he slowly put down the edict: "Your Majesty's edict has been read by the last general. Please go back and tell the emperor that Zuo Shuang... will make a decision as soon as possible!"

In Meng Luo's opinion, Zuo Shuang, who was general Ning, should have made an immediate decision after reading the edict, act according to the emperor's order, raise an army to rebel, and kill Tang Yin. But in fact, that was not the case at all. He wanted to do it again.

Thinking about it, this is far from what Munro expected.

He frowned and asked: "What? Isn't General Zuo worried about hoeing thieves?"

"No, no, no... the general never meant this..."

"So General Zuo is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Well? Hearing this, Zuo Shuang suddenly felt rejection in his heart. He said seriously: "From the day I chose to join the army, I have put my own life and death behind..." What the general is worried about is not his own.

Life and death, but the life and death of the entire army of 150,000 soldiers.

He was only halfway through his words. Before he could say the second half, Munro interrupted him and asked coldly: "In that case, what does General Zuo still worry about? The emperor's edict has been issued. As a minister, the general should be

Act according to orders, is it just a promise that the general keeps saying he is willing to be loyal to the emperor?"

Zuo Shuang's brows furrowed into knots. The emperor wanted to kill Tang Yin on a whim, so he gave himself such a so-called secret edict. But had the emperor ever thought about what would happen if the Western Army rebelled and actually killed Tang Yin? Feng

Can the army give up and give up? Where should the 150,000 soldiers under his command run? Tongmen is heavily guarded, and the Feng army at Baguan is even larger. The Western Army has to be trapped alive in Fengdi. The Feng people dare not do anything to the emperor.

, but they will definitely kill all the Western Army!

Tang Yin didn't say he could just kill. Has the emperor considered the consequences? Or maybe the emperor and the court only thought about themselves and didn't care about the final fate of the 150,000 soldiers of the Western Border Army.

The emperor and the court are just a group of selfish people! Zuo Shuang lamented in his heart, then straightened up and said: "Meng Xiang, the emperor's edict has been accepted at the end. If Meng Xiang has nothing else to do, please

Go back, this matter... the general will have to discuss it carefully with his brothers."

Seeing that Meng Luo wanted to speak, Zuo Shuang added: "The last general will be the commander-in-chief of the Western Border Army, so he should think about the future of his soldiers. General Mo should also discuss with his brothers about where the Western Border Army will go."

The firmness of Zuo Shuang's attitude was beyond Munro's imagination. Seeing that his face was red and his breathing was heavy, he knew that if he continued to rape him, it might be counterproductive.

Meng Luo nodded, sighed, and spoke softly, emotionally and rationally: "General Zuo, unless Tang Yin is removed, the emperor will die at the hands of this thief sooner or later, and the empire will also be destroyed.

On his hand. I say something to the general not as the prime minister of the DPRK but as a subject of an empire. For the sake of the emperor and the common people in the world, the general should not care about personal life and death, but should put the overall situation first!"

After saying that, he stood up tremblingly, cupped his hands and said: "I... take leave now. I will wait for the general's reply at home!"

Zuo Shuang was moved by these soft words. He hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Meng Xiang, I will see you off at the end!"

"No, general, please stay. General... it's better to take a good look at the emperor's edict. It contains the blood and tears of the emperor. The emperor and the ministers of the dynasty are waiting for the general..." As he spoke, Meng

Luo slowly walked out of the Chinese military tent.

Munro left, and Zuo Shuang sat in the tent, deep in thought, and did not move for a long time.

Since it was an edict from the emperor, he should act according to it, but he had various concerns, and for a while, he hesitated, not knowing what to do.

When he was undecided, someone outside the tent reported that Wei Xuan wanted to see him.

Wei Xuan has been promoted by Tang Yin to the deputy commander-in-chief of the Western Border Army, equivalent to Zuo Shuang's deputy. The two have a lot of contact in private. Apart from the different identities of Ning Ren and Feng Ren, the two are very close to each other. Wei Xuan is not

He was a traditional general, but was promoted to general by Tang Yin because of his military orders. He had little experience and no knowledge of military skills, but he was humble and cautious. He would often ask Zuo Shuang for advice when he had something he didn't understand. Zuo Shuang liked him very much.

With his personality, he was also willing to teach him, and the two of them got along very harmoniously.

He has received a secret order from Tang Yin and has also brought the secret assassins sent by Cheng Jin into the army. If something happens, he can get rid of the Ning people general headed by Zuo Shuang as soon as possible.

However, he sincerely did not want Zuo Shuang to die unexpectedly due to the rebellion. He came here this time, firstly to have a soundbite, and secondly to beat the drum.

Hearing that Wei Xuan was coming, Zuo Shuang was about to say that he would like to invite him, but his eyes fell on the edict on the table. He was so frightened that he immediately grabbed it. In a hurry, he didn't know where to hide it, and finally just stuffed it directly.

He sat down on the floor with his buttocks down, then took a deep breath and said, "Please!"

Not long after, Wei Xuan came closer from outside.

"General, it's time for you to be polite." Wei Xuan stepped in and saluted respectfully.

"Brother Wei, please take a seat." Zuo Shuang was used to calling the officers and soldiers in the army privately, and now that he was the commander-in-chief, it was difficult to change this habit for a while.

Wei Xuan smiled and sat down next to Zuo Shuang.

Zuo Shuang sat on top of the emperor's edict, somewhat unnaturally. His buttocks moved uncomfortably, and he asked with a smile: "Brother Wei, is there anything wrong?"

Wei Xuan met Zuo Shuang's questioning eyes, paused for a moment, and said, "General, I heard that Prime Minister Meng just arrived. I wonder what the old prime minister is doing?"

Zuo Shuang secretly took a breath, but said with a calm smile on his face: "It's nothing, I just came here to chat about some household matters."

"Oh? The general never knew that the general and Prime Minister Meng still have contacts."

"It's just a normal friendship."

"That's best." Wei Xuan shrugged and said, "The king doesn't like my Dafeng civil and military ministers to be too close to the ministers of the imperial court."

"Ah! That's it..." Zuo Shuang responded casually, but his mind was racing, secretly guessing whether Wei Xuan had noticed something.

Wei Xuan smiled and asked: "General, do you know why the king doesn't like us to have contact with the imperial ministers?"

Zuo Shuang asked absently: "Why?"

"Your Majesty often says that my Dafeng's civil and military skills are like those of only one person in a thousand, while the ministers in the imperial court are all pedantic hereditary dignitaries. Porcelain and earthen pots are placed together. If there is a bump, the earthenware will be destroyed."

It doesn't matter if the jar breaks, but it makes people sad if the porcelain breaks." As he spoke, Wei Xuan laughed as if telling a joke and said: "Although the king's metaphor may not be appropriate, it makes sense.
