"Wang, I say, Xu Jiang's troops are almost at the gate of the city."
Chen Qian opened his mouth, saliva kept flowing from the corners of his mouth, and he could only make ah ah sounds.
The strong man had already walked to his side, lowered his head, picked up a handkerchief from the side, and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that they are not here to discuss things with us this time."
Even without any response, the strong man continued to talk to himself: "If they really want to attack us, what should we do?"
Chen Qian's eyes were cloudy as he looked at the strong man. He seemed to want to speak, but he was completely unable to express what he wanted to say.
"I heard before that people from the lower city came up."
"They seem to be the reinforcements Xu Jiang invited in."
"Xu Jiang didn't attack us before because he didn't have enough troops and didn't want to waste them on us."
"But it's different now."
"I heard that millions of people are coming up from the lower city!"
"I guess they're not that easy to talk to anymore."
Having said that, the strong man bent down and used a saliva-soaked handkerchief to wipe the anxious sweat from Chen Qian's forehead.
"You need to tell me what to do..."
"Father."
Ten minutes later.
The strong man walked out of the main hall.
Outside, there were the top leaders of Luoyue City.
They are all waiting for the decision of the "King".
"The king said..."
"Luoyue City has a clear stance: we will not participate in any war."
"But if they don't give us a chance to stay out of it..."
"Then we in Luoyue City will not compromise easily."
"Notify all city guards to prepare for battle!"
"Be prepared to meet the enemy at any time!"
The senior executives below looked at each other, with doubt clearly flashing in their eyes.
At the same time, a man who looked a few years younger than the strong man and somewhat delicate walked to the front of the hall.
The senior officials did not follow the strong man's orders, but looked at the two men with completely different temperaments in front of the hall.
The strong man is the king’s eldest son, Chen Yu.
The handsome man is the second one, Chen Xin.
When Chen Xin walked to the front of the hall, Chen Yu naturally moved sideways a step, just blocking the other party's way.
"The king said he would not see anyone except me."
Chen Yu's expression was indifferent: "Including you."
Chen Xin frowned slightly and looked towards the hall.
After confirming that he could not see what was happening inside, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother, it is impossible for father to decide to send troops."
"The king told me so. Are you questioning the king's decision?"
Chen Yu said firmly: "If that's the case, even if you are my brother, I will not tolerate it."
Chen Xin gritted his teeth.
Now only Chen Yu can see Wang, and no matter what he says or does, it all depends on his words.
The power that Chen Xin possessed could not compete with Chen Yu, so...
"elder brother."
Chen Xin's expression was stern: "With the capabilities of our Luoyue City... we are not qualified to participate in a struggle of this magnitude!"
"Haha, you really have grown up."
Chen Yu sneered, "Now you're starting to teach your brother a lesson."
"elder brother!"
Chen Xin was a little excited, but he quickly adjusted himself.
"Haven't you heard the news outside? Those people in the lower city... hate us!"
"If we don't get involved, or even if we don't become attached to them, they won't necessarily kill us all!"
"But as long as we take action, they will have enough reasons to destroy us!"
"They're heading for Diancheng. Shouldn't we just give them way?"
Chen Xin took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his breathing: "Brother, I know what you want."
"Father's body can't hold on for much longer. After he... leaves, I won't compete with you for this position. Is that okay?"
"You know, I don't have many supporters around me. Compared to you, I have no chance of winning."
"I can give up the fight, but I also hope you can promise not to retaliate against my friends."
"I promise I will do my best to assist you. Let's manage Luoyue City together, okay?"
Chen Xin's words were sincere.
The higher-ups below naturally knew the relationship between the two brothers.
At the same time, they also knew that Wang was old.
Sooner or later, Luoyue City will fall into the hands of one of these two brothers.
Now, facing the people from the lower city, perhaps it would be a battle between the two of them.
One advocates war, the other advocates peace.
They dare not act rashly until there is a clear direction.
But after hearing what Chen Xin said, Chen Yu laughed.
"When did I ever say I needed you to assist me?"
Chen Xin was stunned for a moment.
Chen Yu laughed arrogantly: "And, according to what you said, it seems that you gave this position to me?"
"Brother, that's not what I meant..."
Chen Xin was about to explain, but Chen Yu interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Whether you mean that or not is none of my business."
As he spoke, he patted Chen Xin on the shoulder and said, "I'll tell you now what I mean."
Chen Yu leaned forward and whispered in Chen Xin's ear, while pointing back in the direction of the hall.
"The old man is dying."
The corners of Chen Yu's mouth curled up even higher: "I'm trying to find a way to keep him alive."
