Chapter 379 Pretending! Really Good at Pretending!

Chapter 379 Pretend! Really good at pretending!

You look at me, I look at you, and finally a bold staff member began to ask: "I don't know what the city lord thinks? I don't know if what is written on this paper is true or not."

"However, according to my subordinates, King Xiao and Princess Xiao of the Great Zhou have a very good reputation in the Great Zhou. They are also benevolent and righteous people, and they should not cheat."

After finishing speaking, the staff member didn't speak anymore, but looked at the attitude of Lord Wan, so that he would know if he had said anything wrong.

To put it bluntly, they are just the retainers of Wanchengzhu, and their future is all in Wanchengzhu's body, and now Da Zhou is coming.

Whether to resist to the death or to surrender depends on the intention of the Lord Wan. Who knows that the face of the Lord Wan still has an unpredictable look, which makes people unable to see the joy, anger, sorrow and joy.

I can't guess what the city lord thinks about this staff member's words. Another staff member also frowned, and came out to refute: "But the city lord, after all, we are all from the dry state."

"Although it says so on those papers, they will definitely be treated differently. This..."

Before he finished speaking, City Lord Wan's eyes rolled: "It seems that you can say nothing, but you can't say anything. My City Lord asks you, how is the strength of the City Lord's Mansion?"

"What about the strength of the city defenders? What about the strength of the attacking troops from the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

The city lord's consecutive questions made all the aides a little confused, but one of the aides quickly stood up and answered, because this person was in charge of the border defense of Wancheng.

"If you go back to the city lord, our city lord Wan's military strength is definitely not as strong as Da Zhou's, and the strength of the city lord's mansion plus private soldiers is only 500 people. As for the city guard army, the number of Qianguo must not exceed 30,000."

"So in total, our manpower is only 30,500 at most, while the troops from Dazhou to attack are as many as hundreds of thousands, if I don't surrender Wancheng."

"It is estimated that the city will be destroyed and the people will die! It is estimated that none of us here will survive, and now the people outside have begun to panic."

Of course, the city lord can guess this matter, after all, it is obvious that the note has almost fallen in the whole city, and of course the people in the whole city know about it.

All the staff stopped talking, because hearing what the city lord meant, I'm afraid they wanted to join Da Zhou. After all, no one wants to die, let alone the lives of a whole city.

As for Qian Guo, it is obvious that there is no hope. When the First Prince and the Second Prince passed by here with their soldiers, they never thought of staying. In other words, it was Qian Guo who gave up on them first.

The city lord watched the atmosphere quiet down for a moment, and looked at these staff: "Who wants to go with the city lord to negotiate with King Xiao and Princess Xiao of the Great Zhou?"

All the staff understood what the city lord was going to do, but this is also very dangerous. You look at me one by one, and I look at you.

In the end, three people stood up: "City Lord, we will accompany you."

Looking at the three staff members, City Lord Wan nodded: "Okay, that's it, you guys go and prepare, and you will set off directly after an hour."

The three staff members turned around and left, while City Master Wan returned to his secret room, took out a jade pendant, looked at the jade pendant, and City Master Wan sighed.

"This day has finally come. However, it has finally come."

An hour later, City Lord Wan set off with his confidants and three staff members. When the city gate opened, the soldiers who came to investigate had already reported to Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu.

At this time, Qian Jiujiu was reading the family letter, which was passed down from Mingyue Island, and it was not long after he got it, it was the growth record of the two children, Qian Jiujiu read it almost.

Only then did he give the growth record to Mu Yexiao, and then Qian Jiujiu discovered that there were actually two family letters below, so he picked it up curiously and glanced at it.

One was sent by Qingyu, and when she took it out, it was a jade pendant with white characters engraved on it. Qian Jiujiu raised her eyebrows, and saw Qingyu's words: "Princess, this is a gift from Baizhen and some little fellows."

Glancing left and right at the jade pendant in her hand, Qian Jiujiu directly received it into the space, and then continued to look at the last letter from home, only to find that it was written by her mother.

Picking it up and looking at it, Qian Jiujiu looked a little weird, and then called out to Mu Yexiao: "Mu Yexiao, my mother wrote me a letter from home, take a look."

Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu curiously, isn't it normal for his mother-in-law to write a letter from home? Why did Qian Jiujiu have such a strange expression on his face?

After taking it over and reading the contents, Mu Yexiao was speechless for a while, looking at Qian Jiujiu for a while, he didn't know what to say, the two of them were in this silence.

Suddenly I heard a small soldier shouting outside: "Report, lord, wangfei, the gate of Wancheng has been opened, and the city lord of Wancheng has also come out, saying that he wants to see the lord and wangfei."

The expressions of Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao became even weirder. They glanced at each other, but Mu Yexiao was the first to come back to his senses and looked at the soldiers: "I saw City Lord Wan, bring him in."

"yes."

After saluting, the soldiers withdrew, but also kept in mind Mu Yexiao's instructions, and went directly to the entrance of the tent to watch over the arrival of City Lord Wan and others.

But the soldier didn't wait long, when he saw City Lord Wan coming with his confidants and others. Before the soldier could speak, the guards beside City Lord Wan spoke first.

"We are from Wancheng. This is our Wancheng lord. I hope to see your lord, and I hope this little brother will report."

The soldier nodded: "Come with me."

After finishing speaking, the soldiers led the way, leading the people from Wancheng to the tent where Mu Yexiao was discussing matters, and inside the tent, Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu had already sat down.

It seemed that they were waiting for Wanchengzhu and others on purpose, which made Wanchengzhu and others understand that feelings were not Xiaobing's self-assertion, but that Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu had already guessed that he would come.

City Lord Wan suddenly felt nervous, but thinking of his relationship with Qian Jiujiu, City Lord Wan gradually let go of his tension and looked at Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu.

"King Xiao, Princess Xiao, the two of you are indeed dragons and phoenixes among men."

Qian Jiujiu raised her eyebrows, among the dragons and phoenixes? Is this trying to frame them? Glancing at City Lord Wan, Qian Jiujiu coughed twice: "You are?"

Only then did City Lord Wan begin to explain: "My humble servant is the City Lord of Wan City."

Qian Jiujiu snorted: "City Master Wan, right? Da Zhou's words are not very slick, so it's better not to talk nonsense. We can't bear the dragon and phoenix among people."

"By the way, I don't know what's the reason for Wancheng Lord's visit this time?"

Pack! Really good at pretending! This was City Lord Wan's first impression of Qian Jiujiu, but he didn't dare to say it, so he coughed twice and looked at the two of them.

"The paper that you passed on to Wancheng, Princess Xiao, I have seen it, because I believe that King Xiao and Princess Xiao are people who will do what they say."

"That's why I am here. I hope you two will give me a chance. I will take Wancheng under my command and be willing to serve the prince and princess."

"Of course it is possible. My ability is not very strong, so I can't bring you any great help, but I will definitely help you two sincerely!"

Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao glanced at each other, Qian Jiujiu thought it was funny: "City Master Wan, this princess always thinks you are telling a joke."

"If my concubine remembers correctly, you are the Lord of Wancheng personally appointed by the emperor of Qian Kingdom, right? But now you are actually helping us sincerely in front of your enemies?"

"Are you showing your loyalty? But who would dare to accept your loyalty?"

City Lord Wan and all the staff were silent, because what Princess Xiao said was really reasonable, and now they are here to surrender, and it is really a slap in the face to talk about loyalty.

And they don't know why the city lord, who has always been calm, would lose his composure in front of these two. This is what they don't understand the most.

At this time, City Lord Wan looked at Qian Jiujiu, his eyes were relatively agitated, the corners of his mouth moved, and he wanted to say something, but he never opened his mouth.

Qian Jiujiu looked at City Master Wan like this, and a gleam of brightness flashed in his eyes: "City Master Wan, what do you want to do when you look at my princess like this?"

"Ah, my princess knows, don't you have some unreasonable thoughts about this princess? You can see that the prince is still here! Do you want to die?"

There was a tinge of anger in the tone of Qian Jiujiu, and the Lord Wan was taken aback, looking at Qian Jiujiu: "Princess Xiao, you misunderstood, this is impossible."

"Um, that Prince Xiao, Princess Xiao, can you please hold back, I have something to say."

Of course Qian Jiujiu knew what the person in front of her was going to say, but she felt that she hadn't had enough fun! How could it be so easy to slip on the shoes.

He snorted coldly: "What are you talking about? Screen off? Do you want to assassinate the princess and the prince? But you are really brave and stupid."

Listening to Qian Jiujiu's tone, Mu Yexiao knew that Qian Jiujiu was playing a lot of fun. At this time, although he sympathized with Wan City Lord in front of him, Mu Yexiao still chose to cooperate with Qian Jiujiu without hesitation. .

Looking at the Wancheng Lord, he snorted coldly: "I don't know what the Wancheng Lord is saying? Do you want the king to retreat? Or is it like what the princess said? Seeing that Wancheng can't keep it."

"So, City Lord Wan, you chose to come to see this king and want to assassinate him?"

City Lord Wan is really suffering and can't express it now, so he can only raise his hands and swear: "King Xiao, Princess Xiao, I can swear, I don't have any thoughts of hurting you in the slightest."

"What's more, even if I hurt myself, I won't hurt you. After all, I am..."
