Chapter seven hundred and ninety seventh

Chapter 797

Zuo Shuang and Mengluo walked and chatted and entered the central army tent. Originally, Zuo Shuang wanted to ask Mengluo to sit in the head coach's position, but Mengluo refused to say anything. Seeing that he was not polite and humble, Zuo Shuang had to give up and the two of them took the seats.

After saying a few more polite words, Zuo Shuang asked, "Meng Xiang is coming, must be something wrong, right?"

"Haha!" Meng Luo smiled slightly and said, "It's true that there is something wrong with Deng Sanbao Palace." After a pause, he asked, "How is General Zuo Shuang living in Feng Kingdom?"

When Zuo Shuang heard this, his old face turned red. The questioner might have no intention, but the listener was absolutely intent. He was originally a Ning general, but now Ningguo was destroyed by the wind. He failed to serve the country with death, but instead defected to Fengguo. He felt ashamed when he spoke. He laughed dryly and said, "It's okay, it's okay!"

Feng Mo and the two countries joined forces to fight Ning, which was originally the emperor and the imperial court. In front of Meng Luo, Zuo Shuang didn't have much to say.

Meng Luo looked at Zuo Shuang deeply, turned the subject and suddenly asked: "Is General Zuo Shuang willing to be a Feng minister and doesn't want to avenge his revenge for Ningguo and His Highness Ning?"

Ah? Zuo Shuang was stunned. What did Mengluo mean? Did he come to test himself? He looked upright and said hurriedly: "The former king was disrespectful and unfaithful to the emperor. It was also destiny to be destroyed by Fengmo and the other kingdoms. How dare the last one..."

Before he finished speaking, Meng Luo laughed and said, "Feng Mo and the two countries joined forces to attack Ning. General Zuo Shuang really thinks that is His Majesty's will?"

"Can't it..."

"Your Majesty has issued an order, but he was the slander Tang Yin!" Meng Luo gritted his teeth and said, "Tang Yin used the court to oppress Your Majesty everywhere in his country and oppressed the court. It has reached an unbearable level. If General Zuo Shuang is really loyal to the emperor, he should kill the thieves for the country!"

These words were too shocking for Zuo Shuang. The emperor now lives in Feng Kingdom, and it is inevitable that he will be restrained by Tang Yin, and he can imagine it. However, he could not help but be surprised that Meng Luo dared to say such words in public.

Meng Luo did not give Zuo Shuang more time to think, so he took out the emperor's secret edict from his arms and handed it to Zuo Shuang, and whispered: "General Zuo Shuang, this is the edict written by the emperor himself to fight against rebellion. Please check it out."

Asking for the rebellion? Zuo Shuang looked at the brocade roll handed to him by Meng Luo, swallowing and spitting, but did not react for a long time.

Mengluo narrowed his eyes, looked directly at Zuo Shuang, and said again: "Please look at it, General!"

Zuo Shuang came back to his senses, took the edict with his palm trembling, spread it out, and looked at the contents carefully from beginning to end. After reading it, he fell into deep thought again.

"General Zuo Shuang, the emperor has counted Tang Yin's crimes in the edict. Now is a good time for the general to be loyal to the emperor. It can also avenge the national humiliation. Why are the general hesitating?" Meng Luo stared at Zuo Shuang without blinking, and said in a gloomy and urgent tone.

"This..." Zuo Shuang frowned and shook his head without saying a word.

His hatred for Tang Yin was not as deep as Meng Luo imagined. As a Ningren and a general who destroyed the country, Tang Yin not only did not kill him, but also important him. He even ignored his humble background and trusted him as the commander of the first army. These made Zuo Shuang feel grateful.

Of course, he also had a grudge against Tang Yin. After all, it was Tang Yin who destroyed Ningguo and killed King Ning. Zuo Shuang's current identity in Feng Jun is very embarrassing, and his feelings for Tang Yin are also very complicated, but he can never say that he can resist.

What's more, this matter is of great importance, not his own affairs, but rather the life and death of the entire army's soldiers. How dare he make a hasty decision?

After a long silence, he slowly put down the edict, raised his head, and said to Mengluo: "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!"

Mengluo thought that Zuo Shuang, as a general of Ning, should make a decision immediately after reading the edict, act according to the emperor's order, raise an army to rebel, and kill Tang Yin, but in fact it was not the case at all. He had to consider it again, which was far from Mengluo's expectations.

He frowned and asked, "What? Is General Zuo worried about killing the thief?"

"No, no, no...I will never have this intention..."

"Then is General Zuo afraid of death?"

Hum? After hearing this, Zuo Shuang suddenly felt repulsive in his heart. He said seriously: "Fu Jiang has already left his personal life and death behind his head from the day he chose to join the army..." What Ma Jiang is not worried about is his own life and death, but the life and death of the 150,000 soldiers in the entire army.

He was only halfway through his words, and before he could say the second half, Meng Luo interrupted him and asked coldly: "Since that's the case, what else do you still worry about? The emperor's edict has been issued. As a minister, the general should act according to the order. Is it just a word of acceptance that the general always says he is willing to be loyal to the emperor?"

Zuo Shuang frowned into a knot. The emperor was trying to kill Tang Yin on a whim and issued such a so-called secret edict on himself. But has the emperor ever thought about what to do if the Western Army rebelled and really killed Tang Yin? Can the Feng Army give up? Where should the 150,000 soldiers under his command run? Tongmen has heavy troops to guard, and the Feng army in Baguan is even more numerous. The Western Army must be trapped in Fengdi. The Fengren dare not do anything to the Emperor, but they will definitely kill all the Western Army!

Tang Yin did not mean that he could kill him by killing. Has the emperor considered the consequences caused? Or, the emperor and the court only thought about themselves and did not care about the final fate of the 150,000 soldiers of the Western Army.

The emperor and the court were just a group of selfish people! Zuo Shuang lamented in his heart, then straightened his body and said, "Meng Xiang, the emperor's edict was accepted. Meng Xiangruo had nothing else to do, so please go back. This matter... The general needs to discuss with his brothers under his command."

Seeing that Meng Luo was about to speak, Zuo Shuang said again: "The last general is the commander of the Western Army, so he should consider the future of his soldiers. Where will the Western Army go, General Mo should also discuss with his brothers."

Zuo Shuang's attitude was firmer than Monroe imagined. Seeing his face flushed and his breath was heavy, he knew that if he had been, it might be counterproductive.

Meng Luo nodded, sighed at the same time, moved his tone, and said with emotion, "General Zuo, if Tang Yin is not eliminated, the emperor will sooner or later be destroyed by this thief, and the empire will also be destroyed by his hands. I am not the left prime minister in the court, but as a subject of an imperial country. For the sake of the emperor and the people of the world, the general should not care about his personal life and death, but should put the overall situation first!" As he said, he stood up tremblingly and bowed: "I... say goodbye first, wait for the general's reply in the mansion!"

After these soft words, Zuo Shuang was moved. He hurriedly stood up and bowed and said, "Meng Xiang, I will give you it!"

"No need, general, please stay, general... let's take a look at the emperor's edict, which contains the emperor's blood and tears. The emperor and the ministers in the court are looking forward to the general..." As he said that, Mengluo slowly walked out of the central army tent.

Mengluo left, Zuo Shuang sat in the tent, fell into deep thought, and had not moved for a long time.

Since it was the emperor's edict, he should follow the edict, but he had various concerns, and for a moment he hesitated and didn't know what to do.

Just when he was in a daze, someone outside the tent reported that Wei Xuan was asking for a meeting.

Wei Xuan has been promoted by Tang Yin to the deputy commander of the Western Army, equivalent to Zuo Shuang's deputy. The two have a lot of private contact. Apart from the different identities of Ning Ren and Feng Ren, the two are still very close. Wei Xuan is not from a traditional general, but was promoted to a general by Tang Yin because of the order of hiring Wu. He lacks experience and does not know much about military tactics. However, he is humble and cautious. He often asks Zuo Shuang for advice if he doesn't understand. Zuo Shuang likes his personality very much and is willing to teach him. The two get along very well.

He had received a secret order from Tang Yin and brought the hidden arrow personnel sent by Cheng Jin into the army. Once there was a change, the Ning generals led by Zuo Shuang could be eliminated as soon as possible.

However, he did not want Zuo Shuang to die in a bad way due to rebellion. This time he came, one was to tentatively sing and the other was to beat the side drum.

When he heard that Wei Xuan was coming, Zuo Shuang was about to say he was invited, but his eyes fell on the edict on the table. He was so scared that he immediately grabbed him. He hurriedly didn't know where to hide it. Finally, he simply stuffed it under his butt and sat down under the bottom, then took a deep breath and said, "You are welcome!"

It didn't take long, and Wei Xuan walked out recently.

"General, the last general is polite." Wei Xuan must intervene respectfully and salute.

"Brother Wei, please sit down." Zuo Shuang was used to calling his soldiers in the army in private. Now that he has become the commander, it is difficult for him to change this habit for a while.

Wei Xuan smiled and sat down at Zuo Shuang's place.

Zuo Shuang sat on the emperor's edict, somewhat unnatural. His butt moved uneasyly and asked with a smile: "Is there anything wrong with Brother Wei?"

Wei Xuan met Zuo Shuang's inquiring eyes, paused for a moment, and said, "I heard that Meng Xiang had just arrived. I wonder what the old prime minister has to do?"

Zuo Shuang took a breath, but smiled quietly on his face and said, "It's nothing, I'm just here to talk about family matters."

"Oh? The general has never known it. It turns out that the general and Meng Xiang still have contacts."

"Just ordinary friendship."

"That's best." Wei Xuan shrugged and said, "The king doesn't like my important civil and military officials who are strong and strong, and they are too close to the ministers of the imperial court."

"Ah! That's it..." Zuo Shuang responded casually, but his mind was turning sharply, and he secretly guessed whether Wei Xuan had noticed something.

Wei Xuan asked with a smile: "Does the general know why the king doesn't like us to contact the imperial ministers?"

Zuo Shuang asked absent-mindedly: "Why?"
