Chapter 271

Swish, swish, swish!

Numerous gazes gathered on Wu Zhao and Gao Yang, and they were filled with shock.

Gao Yang was also stunned.

Not only had his poisonous plan spread, but even the Chu army commander knew about it?

But he had to say, this alienation strategy was very vicious!

Wu Zhao's expression was gloomy.

If they wanted to negotiate, first she had to kneel to receive the imperial edict, and second, she had to execute Gao Yang.

Her phoenix eyes were cold.

Lu Wen took a deep breath, stood out, and said loudly, "His Majesty is the Son of Heaven; how can she kneel?"

"But I think this matter can be discussed further."

Xu Xuanji also said, "If we can negotiate, it is truly the fortune of Great Qian and the blessing of the people!"

"His Majesty is a body of gold; she cannot kneel. As the Prime Minister, I can kneel on behalf of His Majesty to welcome the imperial edict!"

At the same time, some civil officials who were scared by the Chu army's momentum also stood out, "Xu Xiang is righteous!"

"Xu Xiang is righteous!"

Wu Zhao smiled and looked at Xu Xuanji, "Then I must thank Xu Xiang for the sacrifice you have made."

Xu Xuanji bowed and said righteously, "For Great Qian, for the millions of people in Changancheng, this subject is duty-bound!"

But Wu Zhao suddenly raised her voice.

"How can my Great Qian have a Prime Minister who is so afraid of death?"

"Today, no matter who kneels, they represent me and the entire Great Qian. With this kneel, the backbone of my Great Qian, from the Emperor and generals down to the common people, will completely collapse!"

"A country without a straight backbone—how is this different from national extinction?"

"Not to mention, Gao Yang is a pillar of my Great Qian; he has not failed me, so how can I fail him?"

Gao Yang listened, and a ripple stirred in his heart, but when he saw these civil officials who stood out, his gaze was cold.

The meaning of these bastards was clearly to let him sacrifice himself as well.

Very good, he, Gao Yang, would remember these bastards.

Lu Wen and Xu Xuanji, under Gao Yang's gaze, only felt like they were on pins and needles.

But they still said movingly, "Your Majesty, the Chu army is strong, and the hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves are unstoppable and sharp. For the sake of Great Qian, for the sake of the millions of people in Changancheng, we ask Your Majesty to temporarily avoid the edge!"

"We ask Your Majesty to temporarily avoid the edge!"

Everyone said in unison.

Wu Zhao took a deep breath, and her phoenix eyes suddenly looked at Xu Xuanji and the others.

At the same time, an extremely powerful imperial aura swept out from her body like a raging wave, permeating the entire walls of Changancheng!

"I should avoid his edge first?"

"Get the arrows!"
