Chapter 51 The Last Ministers

Maple Leaf Kingdom, Maple Leaf City——

The millions of troops of the Ye family are stationed a few miles away from Maple Leaf City. The huge pressure brought by millions of troops and soldiers is under the city. Not to mention the attack, even if they stand there, the slightly timid people will be scared to death, just like those forbidden soldiers who are standing on the wall now. These forbidden soldiers used to be They are all the role of self-proneed elite soldiers and tough generals, but at this moment, facing the strict million army of the Ye family outside the city and feeling the trend formed by the breath of the million army, these forbidden soldiers unconsciously turned pale.

In Tiancheng, in the Qiankun Hall, the hall where Zhao Youde and ministers discussed political affairs in the past, is extremely quiet at this moment. Only the faint sound of breathing proves that there are still people in this hall.

On the throne directly above the hall, Zhao Youde's ball-like body sat on it. His small eyes, which were so squeezed by fat that they were almost invisible, were looking at the noble ministers in the hall.

At this moment, Zhao Youde's heart can be said to have mixed feelings: Yes, he finally sat on this dream throne, but this is too different from the scene he imagined. He has dreamed countless times that one day, he will sit on this throne, reign over the world, and make all people submit.

Now, Zhao Youde finally sat on this throne, but what he got was not to rule the world, but to give up the world to the Ye family, a family that he had never paid attention to for 20 years.

Zhao Youde lost, and he lost completely, but at this moment, Zhao Youde was not unwilling at all, because he was really convinced of his opponent.

To this day, Zhao Youde still remembers the time when he led troops to surround the Yejia Manor outside Fengye City more than a year ago. What he saw was the crazy Ye Jianfeng, the brainless impulsive Ye Tianba, the terminally ill Ye Zifeng, and the waste Ye Han who was pushed to the throne by him.

But what about now?

What does Zhao Youde see now?

It is Ye Jianfeng, who shocked the world and has the strength of the Xuan Emperor; Ye Tianba, who is wise and courageous, who commands millions of troops well; and Ye Zifeng, who is as cunning as a fox and manipulates the infiltration of the dark hall. Among the four sons of the Ye family, it seems that only Ye Han, who is in the palace, is still penniless.

Zhao Youde has always been insidious and vicious, so he can become a powerful minister and seize power from the hands of Fengye Qingkong, but he is turned around by a group of the Ye family. Not to mention Zhao Youde, even in this world, he is still played by the Ye family, so Zhao Youde is really convinced and upright. Because of his admonishment, Zhao Youde was very open-minded: "I, Zhao Youde, am a villain. I have never denied this, and I have never disguised my villain's behavior. Therefore, in the face of the powerful Ye family, I will willingly put down the power in my hand, just to live! But what about you? Can you let it go?"

Looking at the noble ministers standing in His Highness and the noble but hypocritical faces, Zhao Youde's heart burst into a sneer.

Reaching out and took out a letter from his body, Zhao Youde suddenly shouted at His Highness's ministers, "Guys, this is a letter sent by the Ye family. I won't read the content to you. Now, let's discuss what should we do next, stubbornly resist to the end or submit to it? "

"The recruitment letter?" After listening to Zhao Youde's words, there was a "buzz..." in the hall. After a moment, an old man standing in front of the ministers with white hair and wrinkles on his face suddenly came out and saluted Zhao Youde, "Your Excellency, now there are still 100,000 forbidden troops in my Maple Leaf City. As long as we stick to it, Ye It will never be easy for the family to capture Maple Leaf City!"

"Does Lord Li mean that we can't surrender?"

Before Zhao Youde said anything, a minister in his fifties jumped out again and pointed to the white-haired Lord Li's nose and said, "Lord Li, what you said is light. 100,000 forbidden troops guard the city. Humph, don't look at how many people in the 100,000 forbidden army are really interested in defending the city. You don't go outside. Look at the tower on the face. What are those forbidden soldiers now? Let me tell you, they have been scared by the millions of troops of the Ye family. They want to rely on them to defend the city. Lord Li, have you woken up?"

"Wang Xu, shut up to me. When did I say I wouldn't surrender!" The white-haired Lord Li was said to be red and black in front of his eyes. He could only argue, "What I mean is that we can't surrender so easily. We must negotiate with the people of the Ye family and let them promise not to cut our title and be at peace with us, so that we can surrender!"

"Your Excellency!" The white-haired Lord Li turned his head and looked at a kind of courtiers in the hall and said in a very sincere tone, "Why didn't the Ye father and son send troops directly to attack my Maple Leaf City, but to send a letter of persuasion, not because they took into account the 100,000 forbidden troops in our Maple Leaf City. As you know, they have been defending since ancient times. It is easy to attack the city and difficult. If the Ye family wants to break through Maple Leaf City, which is guarded by 100,000 forbidden troops, the price will be several times or even more than ten times. The Ye family can't afford to consume it, so this is the condition for us to negotiate with the Ye family!"

"Hmm, Lord Li, you think we didn't die fast enough, do you?" At this time, Wang Xu retorted again, "Lord Li, it's really good to say that it's easy to defend the city and to attack the city, but we also need to see who the people who are attacking the city are. Today's masters of the Ye family are like clouds. There are twelve strong people at the Xuanhuang level alone. As long as these twelve Xuanhuang come out, it is enough to cover my whole Maple Leaf City with pressure. What do you think? What will those forbidden army soldiers with the highest cultivation level be in the face of the pressure of the Xuan Emperor? Will they rise up to resist? Humph, I'm afraid it's good to be able to stand!"

The quarrel between Wang Xu and Lord Li caused many ministers in the hall to argue with each other, but Zhao Youde, who was sitting on the throne, never participated. There was always a smile on his fat face, which made people unable to see what he was thinking.

In fact, Zhao Youde is laughing secretly in his heart at this moment. Although Zhao Youde has now been forced to the end of the Ye family, after all, he has been operating in Maple Leaf City for many years. Although his secret camp has suffered heavy losses in several confrontations with the Ye family, he wants to monitor every move in Maple Leaf City. It's still not difficult, so he knows why Wang Xu advocates surrender.

It's not because Wang Xu was extremely smart and saw the situation clearly, but because the people of the Ye family found him yesterday. Although Zhao Youde did not know what the people of the Ye family said to Wang Xu, from Wang Xu's performance now, it is not difficult to guess that the people of the Ye family want Wang Xu to persuade everyone to surrender.

As for the white-haired Lord Li, in Zhao Youde's view, it was just a powerful and stubborn nobleman. The reason why he advocated negotiating terms with the Ye family was that he was afraid that the Ye family would attack the city and let him lose his former power.

"I don't know what to do. It's good to be able to save my life now. I still want to keep my power. Humph, and I don't think that some of these people present didn't fall into the Ye family in those years!" Zhao Youde shook his head disdainfully and suddenly stopped the discussion of the courtiers in a loud voice: "Well, my lords, stop talking!"

Hearing Zhao Youde finally speak, the hall suddenly became quiet, waiting for Zhao Youde to make a final decision on this matter.

Zhao Youde looked around the whole hall coldly and said slowly, "You all know that now that the Ye family is very powerful, and it will be a matter of time to attack the city sooner or later. Therefore, I advise you not to resist more stubbornly. After all, the Ye family are all smart people. They know that it is easy to cure the world. Reason, so as long as we surrender obediently, the Ye family will not kill us in order to stabilize people's hearts. However, if we still want to be unreasonable and stubbornly resist, we will give the Ye family a reason to kill us. At that time, our gains will really outweigh the losses!"

"Your Excellency, you..." Hearing that Zhao Youde was in favor of surrender, the white-haired Lord Li suddenly felt black in front of his eyes and wanted to speak.

Unfortunately, Zhao Youde didn't give him a chance at all. Zhao Youde ignored him and said to the people in the hall, "So I decided to go out of the city and surrender immediately!"

As soon as Zhao Youde's voice fell, there was another "buzzing" discussion in the hall. Some of them were against it, while others were in favor of it. However, Zhao Youde no longer paid attention to them, but raised his voice and shouted outside the Qiankun Hall: "Come on, go and invite Mr. Ye Hanye. I want to personally take Ye Gong Send it out of the city!"

"Yes, Prince!" A figure appeared at the door of the Qiankun Hall, answered loudly, and then immediately turned around and left. This person was Wu Feng.

Zhao Youde sat on the throne and waited for Wu Feng to come with Ye Han, but he waited for a long time, but he never saw Wu Feng return. Gradually, Zhao Youde became a little uneasy. At this time, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall, and then Wu Feng, with a frightened expression, walked into the hall.

Wu Feng walked to the center of the hall and said to Zhao Youde sitting on the throne, "Your Majesty, Mr. Ye is no longer in the palace!"

"What, how is that possible?" Zhao Youde was shocked and looked at Wu Feng in disbelief and asked, "Have you ever looked for other places? Mr. Ye often goes to the library to read books. Have you ever gone to the library?"

"My lord, I have asked all the court guards to find the whole Tiancheng, but I haven't found any trace of Mr. Ye at all!" Wu Feng hesitated for a moment and said again, "Your Excellency, in addition to Mr. Ye, the two maids Shi Luo and Shi Ya, who served Mr. Ye, are also missing!"

"How is this possible? Do you mean..."

At this moment, not only Zhao Youde, but also the other ministers in the hall have realized that something is wrong. The whole Tiancheng is Zhao Youde's people, but Ye Han disappeared silently. What does this mean?

In everyone's thoughts, this can only explain one problem, that is, the people of the Ye family have already infiltrated the Tiancheng, and Ye Han was rescued by these people.

"Zhao Youde, are you looking for Ye Han? No need to look for it. You can't find it. Let's go out of the city and talk to me!" Just as the people in the Qiankun Hall looked at each other in con's eyes, a majestic voice suddenly enveloped the whole Maple Leaf City. Zhao Youde's face changed. He slowly stood up and walked off the throne: "Your Excellency, let's go. Ye Jianfeng is already calling us!"
