"Perhaps, His Majesty can give you justice?" Prefect Wang felt guilty when he said this.
When he said this, he himself was a little bit unconvinced.
Hey~
The empress was just talking nicely, as she had long been sidelined by several major families in the imperial city.
When it comes to major decisions, the empress also has to listen to the opinions of those major families.
"Ha!" Cong Chongqiu sneered, "Do you believe that?"
Magistrate Wang pursed his lips, but couldn't open them.
He also didn't trust the empress.
Cong Chongqiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the imperial edict that had burned to ashes in the brazier.
"I have made up my mind. The Xiao family is worthy of my trust."
"The Wu Ma and Shi families are too powerful in the Imperial City. Your Majesty has to act according to the wishes of these two families."
"Everyone in Xiliang knows about this, so there's no need for you to try to appease me, Lord Wang."
Prefect Wang pulled the corner of his lips awkwardly.
"Since the General has made his decision, I wish him all the best."
"The imperial edict has been delivered, and I will return."
Magistrate Wang pretended to be calm and said his goodbyes.
Cong Chongqiu tilted his head slightly and glanced at Prefect Wang with a half-smile.
"There's no need to rush back."
"Please ask Magistrate Wang to write a letter to Shi Qiang and ask him to come and take over the army as soon as possible."
Cong Chongqiu looked at the military advisor and said, "Send a message to Xiao, the King of Zhenbei, immediately. At 1:00 PM (1:00 PM to 3:00 PM), this general and the prefect will go to Shuitian City together."
The military advisor glanced at the pale-faced Wang Zhifu and said loudly, "Yes, I will go right away."
The moment the military advisor opened the tent and walked out, a gust of cold wind bit the face of Governor Wang.
This made Magistrate Wang feel very disappointed.
The situation was so serious that he had no choice at all.
Is this considered treason?
Magistrate Wang had a sad face.
The Wang family has been a family of upright civil servants for generations. When had they ever produced such a traitor?
Hey~
I hope the Wang family’s foundation will not be destroyed in his hands.
Fortunately, the person who threatened him was Cong Chongqiu, who would not do such a wicked thing as to wipe out his entire family.
"Master Wang, please."
Cong Chongqiu knocked on the desk, where paper and pen were already prepared.
Magistrate Wang gave a helpless smile and walked to the desk with a sigh.
According to Cong Chongqiu's request, he wrote a letter in a very eloquent manner.
After finishing writing, Wang Zhifu frowned slightly and pointed out,
"Shi Qiang is currently recovering from his injuries at the clinic owned by the Wu Ma family."
"You killed the old patriarch of the Wu Ma family. The Wu Ma family will definitely not let you go."
"It just so happens that Shi Qiang has gotten involved with the Wu Ma family again. If he comes to take over the army, he will definitely bring poison with him."
"There should also be assassins from the Wu Ma family accompanying them."
"Are you sure you're ready for it...?"
Now that he and Cong Chongqiu are on the same boat, he naturally hopes that Cong Chongqiu has a foolproof plan.
Of course, even if Cong Chongqiu failed, it would not have much impact on him.
He could have told Shi Qiang that he was forced by Cong Chongqiu.
He has two lips, and it depends on how he turns them.
He is a civil servant and he can't fool Shi Qiang, a pig-head.
However, he hoped from the bottom of his heart that Cong Chongqiu would succeed, after all, it involved the lives of more than 100,000 people.
No...it's not just over 100,000 people, including the soldiers' families, that's hundreds of thousands of people.
Thinking about how so many people suddenly disappeared from Crescent City, it was almost like an empty city.
Cong Chongqiu smiled faintly, "By the time Shi Qiang receives this letter and rushes to Xinyue City, it will take at least five days."
"At that time, I was already a general under the command of the King of Zhenbei. If he wanted to move me, it would depend on whether the King of Zhenbei agreed or not."
He was no match for Xiao Yunhao a few years ago. After so many years, he believed that Xiao Yunhao would only become stronger.
Cong Chongqiu looked at the letter written by Magistrate Wang and tapped the signature.
"Stamp it."
Magistrate Wang glanced at Cong Chongqiu sideways and reluctantly took out the seal from the sachet on his waist.
“Ha~”
Magistrate Wang angrily blew a long breath at the seal and stamped it heavily on the signature position.
After sending the letter, Cong Chongqiu immediately took Magistrate Wang to Shuitian City.
He asked his military advisor to deliver the letter at the appointed time of Weishi (13:00-15:00). Now it was already noon (12:00), and it would be too late if they didn't set off now.
It takes more than half an hour to get from the camp to Shuitian City, a distance of twenty to thirty kilometers, even if you walk fast.
The main reason was that it was freezing cold and the ground was frozen hard, so the horses would easily slip if they ran too fast.
........
Water City...
"Huh!?" Xiao Yunhao, who had just finished a mouthful of rice, looked at the letter delivered by the carrier pigeon in surprise.
"So anxious?"
"What's wrong?" Lin Yiran scooped a spoonful of meat for Wan Suyun and asked casually without raising her head.
The weather is getting colder, and no dish is as comfortable as eating soup pot.
Except for breakfast, which everyone eats in their own yard, the whole family gathers in the living room to eat soup pot for lunch and dinner.
Xiao Yunhao handed the letter to Lin Yiran,
"Cong Chongqiu said that he would bring the prefect of Xinyue City to discuss surrender at noon."
Lin Yiran paused for a moment, took the letter and read it.
"Hiss~ Cong Chongqiu is great! He surrendered and even gave me a city."
"During this period, he has been deliberately trying to get in the way of us. Could it be that he is trying to persuade the prefect Wang of Xinyue City?"
"It's possible." Xiao Yunhao nodded.
