Doug didn't care about the dozen or so innate masters he left behind. Before the Fourth Prince Gu Shiming gave a clear answer, this group of people would not only not dare to touch Luo Shuang, but would also protect her.
By the time the so-called Fourth Prince realizes that he really can't control himself, his attributes may not be raised much, and they will be unable to move even if they want to.
What's more.
With my ability to make friends, maybe it won’t be long before I can make them my own people.
…
Huangfu Xing was tricked into coming in.
The reason for lying to him was simple. Huangfu Yue sent someone to deliver a letter to tell him that Luo Shuang was caught. Huangfu Xing did not doubt his daughter at all and directly brought his personal guards to take over Yutang Pass.
He would never have thought that the emperor's own brother would be a traitor.
He was worried about letting Huangfu Yue, who had no combat experience, guard such an important place as Yutang Pass.
If it wasn't too late and not suitable for mobilizing a large army, he could lead his army directly into Yutang Pass.
But.
There are no ifs.
As soon as Huangfu Xing entered Yutang Pass, he was captured by more than a dozen innate masters.
When he saw Huangfu Yue standing next to Luo Shuang, he became so angry that his hair and beard stood on end and he started cursing.
Huangfu Yue felt ashamed and wronged.
But she couldn't explain to her father in front of the two armies, and she was afraid that Doug would really kill her father.
Just as He Xu said, live, only when you are alive can you have opportunities.
"Dad, don't blame your daughter. Chongming Country has been infiltrated by people from Qingwu Country. Even the people around the Fourth Prince are spies from Qingwu Country. Dad, surrender. There is no future for you to follow Chongming Country..."
Huangfu Yue knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes to persuade Huangfu Xing and told him the reason for his failure.
Liu Yian and Duger were talking at a distance.
Except Wu Chang, no one knew what they said. From the beginning to the end, Huangfu Yue believed that Liu Yian and others were spies of Qingwu Kingdom.
Huangfu Xing's curses stopped abruptly. He looked at Huangfu Yue and said angrily: "Even so, you shouldn't surrender. There has never been a coward in my Huangfu family. Even if the battle is down to one soldier, you shouldn't surrender, let alone trick me into Yutang Pass. It's a pity that the good reputation of my Huangfu family has been destroyed by a woman like you..."
"..." Huangfu Yue was speechless, unable to utter a word. Her tears flowed freely down her cheeks, her whole body was trembling, and she felt more and more ashamed.
"General Huangfu, do you also look down on women?" Doug glanced at Huangfu Yue and diverted the conflict with just one sentence.
"She is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything." Huangfu Xing said, "If she died in battle, I would have looked up to her. But in this situation, I, Huangfu Xing, would rather have never given birth to this daughter."
Huangfu Yue was shocked and looked at Huangfu Xing in surprise. His heart felt cold as ice for a moment.
Huangfu Xing didn't even look at him, he looked at Du Ge and said: "Now I have been captured by you, you can kill me or chop me up as you wish. It is absolutely impossible for me to surrender."
"General Huangfu is indeed loyal and righteous." Douge looked at him with appreciation and waved to the several innate masters who were guarding him. "You can leave first. I want to talk to General Huangfu alone."
Several people silently stepped aside. The order Liu Yian left for them was to monitor Doug and Luo Shuang's every move, but now it was just to persuade them to surrender.
They had already seen Duger's eloquence in persuading Huangfu Yue to surrender, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with letting him use his eloquence again.
Before Liu Yian left, they knew that they would trick Huangfu Xing here, and they were already prepared for Huangfu's family to be recruited.
Duger looked at Huangfu Xing, waved his hand, and a stream of water rolled up from the moat, sweeping him away from everyone's sight.
Wu Chang pricked up his ears again. Before, he was very excited by the words of the demon star. He had already admired Du Ge very much. Now he wanted to know how Du Ge would persuade Huangfu Xing to surrender. At this moment, in his heart, Du Ge was an inexhaustible treasure and everything about him was worth learning.
"If you have something to say, say it now. If you have something to say, fart now." Huangfu Xing shouted impatiently, "Grandpa Huangfu will not fall for your persuasion to surrender."
"General Huangfu, didn't you feel anything strange from beginning to end?" Doug looked at him and shook his head.
Bah! Huangfu Xing spat at Duger, deliberately provoking him.
Douge rolled up a water curtain, easily blocking his saliva. He smiled indifferently: "General Huangfu, under what circumstances do you think the spies from Qingwu Country would infiltrate the Fourth Prince, and once they infiltrate, it is a group of people, and they are all innate masters."
Huangfu Xing was suddenly stunned.
"Qingwu Country is gone, and this group of innate masters didn't consider themselves at all. Instead, after seeing through the Prime Minister and the prince's scheme, they took the risk and broke into Yutang Pass just to save the fourth princess Luo Shuang. Don't you think this is unreasonable?" Du Ge smiled and continued, "General Huangfu has led the army for many years. At this time, he can't still not understand the inside story! In this regard, you are not as good as Huangfu Yue, she has understood it all."
"Yes, it's just what you think." Douge looked at him and nodded, "Your Huangfu family is a gift from the Fourth Prince to me. You and your daughter were sold out by him."
Huangfu Xing's expression turned extremely ugly in an instant.
"So, are you still insisting on your so-called loyalty?" Doug chuckled and said sarcastically, "Huangfu Yue is actually right. Chongming Country is rotten to the core. It's just that it was not infiltrated by Qingwu Country. It's rotten on its own."
Huangfu Xing showed a painful expression on his face. He took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, I will not surrender."
"Don't you want to know why Gu Shiming gave me this gift?" Doug continued.
"You don't have to tell me. I don't want to know." Huangfu Xing said, "Just kill me!"
"He wants to use me to disrupt Chongming State and create opportunities for himself." Doug smiled and continued, "He wants to be the second Duke Dingguo."
"..." Huangfu Xing looked at Du Ge, "Why are you telling me this?"
"I haven't promised him yet." Doug said.
Huangfu Xing was stunned.
"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Qingwu Kingdom has been destroyed because of Duke Dingguo, and the fourth princess Luo Shuang was forced to go into exile." Du Ge sighed and said, "Deep down in my heart, I really dislike this kind of usurpation of power. The fourth princess's father and brother were usurped by others, and she helped another minister usurp the throne in order to restore the country. If this gets out, how will others view the fourth princess?"
Huangfu Xing's mood stabilized a lot. He looked at Doug in surprise: "What do you want?"
"Pretend to agree with the Fourth Prince, trick him into giving us more food and soldiers, then counterattack Qingwu Kingdom and let his plot fail." Du Ge smiled and said, "After we lead our troops to withdraw from Chongming Kingdom, the Fourth Prince will probably swallow the bitter fruit alone and dare not announce to the world that he funded us! At that time, I will write a letter to the Emperor of Chongming Kingdom in the name of the Fourth Princess, explaining all the reasons. By then, no matter how he deals with the Fourth Prince, it will be much more dignified than brothers fighting each other..."
"Why are you telling me this?" Huangfu Xing asked.
"Because I want to accomplish this, I need your full help." Doug said, "If General Huangfu dies, it will be difficult for me to recruit the troops outside the city, but if General Huangfu is alive, it will be easy for me to recruit them."
Huangfu Xing frowned.
Douger looked at him and continued, "General Huangfu, death is actually a very easy thing. You don't have to provoke me. I can chop off your head with one sword and fulfill your loyalty. But ask yourself, is that loyalty really loyalty?"
Without waiting for Huangfu Xing to speak, he laughed and said, "That's just an excuse for you to evade your responsibilities! To put it more seriously, it's the behavior of a coward."
Gulp!
Huangfu Xing swallowed his saliva.
"If you die and refuse to cooperate with me, I might really take the risk and cooperate with the Fourth Prince to completely disrupt Chongming Kingdom and then wait for an opportunity to take back Qingwu Kingdom." Du Ge said, "By then, Chongming Kingdom will really be devastated."
"You can't do that." Huangfu Xing said.
Douge smiled and said, "General Huangfu, true loyalty means bearing humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, even if you are misunderstood and cursed by the world. Before the truth comes out, it will be very painful and tormenting, and not everyone can hold on... General Huangfu, are you willing to be that truly loyal person?"
Huangfu Xing looked at Duger and fell silent again.
"You may be thinking that if you find an opportunity to kill me and the Fourth Princess, you can then go back and expose the Fourth Prince's conspiracy, the world will still be at peace, right?" Du Ge asked, looking at Huangfu Xing with a smile.
Huangfu Xing was shocked.
"You are too naive." Douge shook his head. "If you kill us, there will be no evidence. You go to the emperor and sue his brothers. Then, your Huangfu family will be doomed. Moreover, you may even force the Fourth Prince to rebel in advance..."
Huangfu Xing closed his eyes, his brows tightened and relaxed, relaxed and tightened again, and after a long while, he let out a long breath: "How can I cooperate with you?"
After such a while, his voice had become hoarse.
"Just follow orders." Du Ge smiled. "With the help of the Fourth Prince, we will gather enough troops and then counterattack Qingwu Kingdom. As long as you help the Fourth Princess take back Qingwu Kingdom, I promise that I will let the Fourth Princess personally write a letter to the Emperor of Chongming Kingdom and send all the evidence of her relationship with the Fourth Prince to clear the name of the Huangfu family. At that time, General Huangfu can return to Chongming Kingdom or continue to stay in Qingwu Kingdom. "
"How can I trust you?" Huangfu Xing asked.
"You have no choice but to trust me. I can't guarantee anything else. After all, the path the Fourth Princess and I have walked is also very difficult. We can't even guarantee that we can restore our country." Du Ge glanced at him and said, "This is the pain of the road of loyalty that I told you about, because it is very likely that you will die with shame before you even finish the road. This road is difficult. Whether you are willing to walk or die, I can help General Huangfu..."
"It's really difficult. The general should have died on the battlefield, but..." Huangfu Xing had a bitter smile on his face, as if he had suddenly aged by more than ten years. After a while, he said, "Okay, I'll follow the path you gave me."
"General Huangfu, I won't let you down." Doug smiled, "Liu Yian has gone to report to the Fourth Prince. Maybe in a few days, he will be back. You can hear for yourself the evidence of the Fourth Prince's collusion with the enemy.
But you can't make it public. Right now, Huangfu Yue and the Fourth Princess don't know about the conspiracy between the Fourth Prince and me. They both think that Liu Yian and others are spies from Qingwu State, and I don't intend to let them know about this."
"Yes." Huangfu Xing looked at Douge with a complicated expression. Finally, he nodded, "I understand."
