    Chapter 830 Old Friend

    Just when Wang Bao followed Duguyi into the Wanchun Palace, the Xiongtu Gate in Nancheng finally couldn't withstand Yan Yunjun's gunpowder and was blown open. The bricks and stones piled in the doorway were pushed out.  The defenders were injured by the agitated gravel and many of them were injured.  Just as the city gate was broken open, the rebel soldiers with white cloth wrapped around their right arms began to retreat in an orderly manner.  Not only that, when the news spread that Yan Yun's army had entered the city, the rebels who attacked the city gates in the East City and West City immediately withdrew and gathered in the direction of Wanchun Palace.

    At this time, people were surprised to find that there were so many people who suddenly rebelled against Wang Pao.  In the shortest possible time, there were no less than 20,000 soldiers gathered in Wanchun Palace.  These soldiers gathered outside Wanchun Palace and surrounded the palace.  Not entering the palace, not leaving.

    Wang Roo followed Dugu Yi. A cold-hearted person like him did not dare to look at the scene around him.  There were corpses everywhere in the palace. Most of the corpses of the palace maids and eunuchs were in pieces, and it was difficult to find even a complete one.  Blood on the corridor flowed along the cracks in the bricks, making a squeaking sound when stepped on.

    Wang Roar even had the illusion that the blood was sticking to his boots, as if there were countless pairs of innocent hands holding his feet, making it difficult to move.

    "Who wants to see me?"

    Wang Bao took a deep breath to calm down a little.

    "I'll be waiting for you in the imperial study room."

    Duguyi didn¡¯t say anything more and kept walking with his head lowered.

    "Aren't you going too far by doing this?"

    Wang Roo pointed to the stumps and broken arms everywhere: "These palace maids and eunuchs have not committed any crimes. They are just servants. They clean and serve others every day. Why do they need to kill them all?"

    Duguyi paused for a moment, looked back at Wang Roo and said word by word: "Because they have served you."

    Wang Roo¡¯s expression suddenly changed, and he couldn¡¯t help but tighten his grip on the horizontal knife at his waist.

    Duguyi's eyes glanced at Wang Bao's hand contemptuously, and he continued to walk forward: "The Hengdao in your hand is useless except for suicide, and I can tell you very seriously and responsibly, even if you  Suicide your body will also be chopped into pieces by us and fed to the dogs. But it would be better if you have the courage to commit suicide now, because I can't guarantee that it will be easier for us to kill you than for you to commit suicide."

    "I can't die yet."

    Wang Roo's hand left the handle of the knife and he followed up: "I am a person who easily gets into trouble. When I don't know why you rebelled, it feels like there is a stone in my heart. I don't understand what is going on.  Who is behind this, how can I die peacefully?"

    ¡°You still sound like a man when you say this.¡±

    Duguyi sneered and stopped talking.

    When he walked to the door of the imperial study, Duguyi made a gesture of invitation and then walked aside.  At this time, the palace was full of rebels with white cloth wrapped around their right arms, and all those who resisted were killed.  Wang Roo had no doubt at all that the more than ten thousand elite Forbidden Army troops he had placed in Wanchun Palace no longer existed.

    When he saw a dozen rebel generals standing in a row at the entrance of the imperial study, Wang Bao felt a faint movement in his heart.  His expression suddenly became calm, and he even straightened his clothes before walking into the door of the imperial study.

    When he walked in and saw the familiar figure sitting behind the desk, he was no longer surprised and even smiled in relief.

    "Only you can do this I just didn't expect that you would have the courage to hide in Mingzhou City without escaping."

    The man sitting behind the desk has gray hair, a square face, a beard, and a burly figure.  He was wearing an ordinary gray cloth, but he actually looked more like an emperor than Wang Roo.

    In fact, he is indeed an emperor.

    Dou Jiande

    "In front of me, you actually dare to call yourself me?"

    Dou Jiande sneered coldly, looked at the jade seal on the table and couldn't help but sigh: "That's right, after all, you have succeeded and turned my Daxia into your Dazhou."

    Wang Roo smiled, found a chair and sat down, looked at Dou Jiande and asked calmly: "I just can't figure it out, why did you choose to take action at this time? Since you have the ability to secretly control so many people, why didn't you do it earlier?  Am I going to step down? Taking advantage of Yan Yun's army to attack the city is indeed easy to succeed, but isn't this helping Li Xian? Even if you kill me and take back the chair, what's the point? With your hands  Can those tens of thousands of people still be able to stop the hundreds of thousands of elite Yanyun troops who have already entered Mingzhou City?"

    "Because what I want to do is not to take it back."??a chair.  "

    A trace of murderous intent flashed in Dou Jiande's eyes. He no longer called himself me, but me.

    "Don't you want to take this chair back?"

    Wang Roo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Then I can't understand it even more."

    Dou Jiande stood up and walked slowly towards Wang Roo: "All I want is to kill you, it's that simple. You are right why I take action at this time, because this is the time when I have the greatest chance of success. There is another reason  It¡¯s just that¡­ I have to find a good home for my sons and daughters who are loyal to me.¡±

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Wang Bao thought for a long time and didn't understand what Dou Jiande meant.

    "I snatched the dragon chair from your hands. This reason is enough to fill you with hatred. You want to kill me, I understand. What I don't understand is why you are willing to make Li Xian's wedding dress?"

    Dou Jiande shook his head: "Because you only have power and ** in your eyes, and you have already gone with all other things. I thought about it for a long time during the few months I was hiding in Mingzhou City, and then I found that I  It¡¯s not that I hate you for taking away my throne. If you look into it carefully, it¡¯s me who lost the throne, not you who took it from me. I founded the Kingdom of Daxia with my own hands, and I have always regarded Daxia as  I am afraid that my private property will be taken away by others, and I am afraid that my children and grandchildren will not be able to sit on that chair So I have done too many wrong things."

    "If I hadn't done so many wrong things, do you think you could succeed?"

    Dou Jiande asked.

    Wang Bao thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "No."

    "I hate you not because you took away what belongs to me."

    Dou Jiande walked up to Wang Roo, leaned over and looked at Wang Roo's face and said word by word: "It was you who killed my wife."

    Wang Bao sat and Dou Jiande stood.

    So Wang Bao suddenly found that he looked a little weak. Dou Jiande's gaze when he looked down at him was not sharp, but it made him tremble in his heart.

    "She is not a qualified wife. I once wanted to abandon her, and even there was a time when I wanted to kill her. Because she was too jealous, because she was too domineering. She always thinks about her family, and always wants to  Please let me not hand over the power of the government to others, it is best to hand it over to the Cao family. I always thought that all she had left was selfishness After she died, I suddenly figured out that her selfishness was for me.  And selfish.¡±

    "She wanted me to hand over the power of government to her family because she also didn't trust others. She was afraid that my country would be stolen, so she desperately wanted her family to help me. That day in  Before escaping from the palace, Xiao Yizhen once provoked meto abandon my wife. It was at that moment that I realized that no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is not as good as the wife who has been with me all my life."

    "In order for me to escape from the palace safely, she found an excuse to leave alone. I know he was afraid of getting me involved, because with a woman by his side, it would be extremely difficult for me to escape the search of your soldiers. I was like crazy.  I searched for her in the palace and searched many places but could not find herI found out the next day that your people had captured her."

    Dou Jiande looked into Wang Pao's eyes and said in a calm tone but with a deep sadness: "From that day on, I have been preparing to avenge her. Now think about it, I have never thought about taking her back once in these days.  That chair. Fortunately Although I have done many wrong things, the generals and soldiers are far more loyal to me than to you. Duguyi and the others are all veteran generals under your father Wang Fubao. The reason why there is no  Because you killed Wang Fu Bao and immediately turned against you, it was because I was hiding in Dugu Yi's army at that time."

    "You have been looking for me, but how could you have imagined that I would be hiding in the army?"

    Dou Jiande said: "I didn't let Duguyi and the others turn against you immediately because I wanted to find a good way out for them. Even if I had done it before, I could still kill you, but so what? Daxia has died  Even if I sit back on that chair, I can't take back the whole country. That's why I will wait and wait until Yan Yun's army attacks the city before I take action. In this way Duguyi and the others surrendered to Li Xian,  It can be considered a stable future.¡±

    "As for me¡­¡­"

    Dou Jiande suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched Wang Roo's neck: "As long as I can kill you, what regrets do you have?"

    Wang Pao instinctively wanted to struggle, but was immediately held down by several soldiers behind him.  Dou Jiande, who grabbed his neck, did not kill him immediately. Instead, he took out a portrait from his arms, hung it on the wall, and lit three sticks of incense.

    That portrait is of his wife Cao.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Li Xian predicted many ways to defeat Mingzhou. He even thought that if Mingzhou was really impregnable, thenEven at the expense of losses, the city wall will be blown down to pieces.  If you can't climb over the city wall, then tear down the city wall.  This was already the last stone standing in front of him in the Central Plains. How could he give up?

    Even if the loss is greater, even if the city is destroyed.

    He never thought that entering Mingzhou would be like this.  It was not that the secret spies who had stayed in Mingzhou City had accomplished extraordinary feats, nor was it that Wang Bao's generals and ministers had defected to him for their own sake.  Entering Mingzhou was much easier than expected because Dou Jiande stabbed Wang Bao in the back at this time.

    When Li Xian arrived outside Wanchun Palace, the entire Mingzhou was already controlled by the Yanyun Army.  The more than 20,000 Xia soldiers outside Wanchun Palace are the last batch of enemies who have not yet laid down their weapons.

    Seeing King Yan riding a big black horse and wearing black armor, the 20,000 Xia army soldiers suddenly dropped their weapons on the ground.  They did not kneel or show any other signs.  They just looked at the most powerful man in the world with some anxiety, waiting for him to make a decision.

    When he arrived outside the palace gate, Li Xian already knew what happened.

    He knows how to place these Xia Army soldiers.

    "Those who are willing to stay will be given food and salary according to veterans. Today's military merit can be converted into ten acres of land, plus a reward of twenty guan. Those who are not willing to stay will be given fifty guan each and a voucher. After returning home,  You can also get ten acres of land. Whether you stay or want to leave, you will be treated according to the treatment of veterans of the Yanyun Army."

    "Thank you, King Yan!"

    Duguyi and others, who were driven out by Dou Jiande to greet Li Xian outside the palace gate, prostrated themselves after hearing Li Xian's words. The Xia army soldiers who had thrown away their weapons burst into cheers.

    "Where is the King of Xia?"

    Li Xian asked.

    Duguyi looked back at the Wanchun Palace and whispered: "Waiting for you."

    Li Xian hummed, waved his hand to signal his entourage not to follow, and walked slowly into the palace. Not far from the main hall, under a weeping willow tree, Dou Jiande, dressed in gray cloth, waved to Li Xian, as if  An old friend I haven't seen for many years.
