Or is it that Murong Jiu's trust in that person has reached a point where it cannot be swayed?
No.
He didn't think so.
As the ruler of a country, especially one with an unpredictable, irritable, and easily angered temperament, Murong Jiu should have thought more about it.
Can...
Could it be that all his men are now useless?
Thinking of this, Chu Liuyun felt a tightness and pain in his chest.
He was even more furious with Feng Tian.
He and Feng Tian are definitely incompatible according to their birth charts, otherwise how could he fail every time without even making a ripple? It makes one doubt the authenticity of the matter.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the angrier I get, the tighter my chest feels.
Seeing the tightly closed city gates and the two men on the city wall who showed no intention of acknowledging them, he became completely enraged.
"The King of Fengtian Kingdom is truly enjoying himself; even on the battlefield, he has beautiful women by his side."
The sarcastic words drifted into Luo Ling's and the other person's ears on the wind, immediately attracting their attention.
Looking down at Chu Liuyun, Murong Jiu sneered.
"Chu Liuyun, you're just jealous. Don't think I don't know your sinister intentions. You're trying to sow discord between me and my beloved minister. This is the worst decision you've ever made."
Chu Liuyun's expression hardened, and he quickly retorted, "Murong Jiu, stop making baseless accusations. I was merely expressing my feelings."
The fact that they knew he was trying to sow discord between the two meant that his previous plan had been successfully implemented.
It just didn't work.Damn it.
My mind became increasingly serious.
He really didn't get along with Feng Tian, no, he was always at odds with Murong Jiu.
The spies are all useless.
Even a hard-won, effective plan has failed.
Even the previous military arrangements ended in failure.
His grip on the horse's reins tightened, his eyes filled with darkness.
Murong Jiu!
"Stop talking nonsense to me. Are you going to surrender on your own, or will I beat you until you kneel down and beg for mercy?"
With his anger raging, Chu Liuyun's reason crumbled when he heard the arrogant words of the people on the city wall.
With a crack of his whip, he shouted the order: "Attack the city!"
The soldiers behind him immediately carried thick tree pillars and pushed the huge chariots, rushing towards the city gate.
His heavy running kicked up a strong sandstorm that splattered all over Chu Liuyun's face.
"Hahaha..." Murong Jiu burst into laughter.
Chu Liuyun wiped his face hard, glaring venomously at the people on the city wall, and held back.
He'll be defeated sooner or later, so he doesn't mind being smug right now.
A thought crossed his mind, and he spoke.
"Murong Jiu, you probably don't want the people in our country to suffer because of war, right? Why don't we negotiate peace?"
Murong Jiu, who was still mocking Chu Liuyun's disheveled state, was somewhat surprised. Leaning against the city wall, he asked with an ambiguous expression.
"Oh~ Peace talks? How do you want to negotiate peace?"
"Marriage alliance".
"A marriage alliance?" Murong Jiu was genuinely surprised this time, scrutinizing the person in the distance.
It was already strange that Chu Liuyun would suggest peace talks during a siege.
The fact that they offered an answer like a marriage alliance only fuels further suspicion.
but..."I have no daughter. Even if I did, she wouldn't be worthy of an old man like you who is old enough to be her uncle or even her grandfather."
His tone was quite disdainful, as if Chu Liuyun were really in his forties or fifties.
Chu Liuyun almost lost his balance and pointed at Murong Jiu, cursing loudly.
He took a deep breath for a while before replying with a forced smile.
"Even if you have a daughter, I will not be interested in her. I have long admired Young Master Luo and wish to marry him as my empress. I wonder what Young Master Luo thinks?"
A single word of admiration, a vow to marry, instantly ignited Murong Jiu's passion.
He didn't care much before, but he turned violent and bloodthirsty.
He drew his sword and charged towards Chu Liuyun.
