The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

He quickly let go of Zixuan's hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped the saliva off his face vigorously.

While wiping, he spat in disgust: "Pah! Pah! Pah! Brother-in-law! Are you disgusting?"

At this time, Zixuan also stood up from his panic and coughed twice in embarrassment. "Um, Boyuan, stop it! Guangdi didn't mean it."

Bo Yuan stood up when Jiang Guang let go of his hand. He hugged Zixuan on his lap and raised an eyebrow.

She looked at Duke Zhuang of Qi with disdain, meaning, if you dare to tease Xuan'er again next time, I will kiss your face, no, kiss your mouth.

Duke Zhuang of Qi was very pleased to see that Bo Yuan cared so much about his sister Xuan. His sister finally found someone she could rely on.

After a long journey, the army finally arrived in Gaotang.

Qing Feng had received the news long ago and hurriedly led his subordinates out to greet them.

After entering the tent, Duke Zhuang of Qi asked Qing Feng, "Master Qing, are the walls of Gaotang really so difficult to attack?"

Qing Feng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this city is indeed difficult to capture. I have already attacked it twice in a row, and with nearly ten thousand casualties, I still haven't taken it."

"I dare not waste my brothers' lives by forcing an attack any further. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Duke Zhuang of Qi waved his hand and said, "What crime have you committed, sir? Victory and defeat are common in war. Don't worry, don't worry."

He turned his gaze to Zixuan again and asked with a smile, "Sister Xuan, I know you already have a plan to defeat the enemy, right?"

Zixuan also smiled and nodded: "Yes, brother Guang, sister has already made an idea..."

Inside the Gaotang County Magistrate's Office, Fengsha Wei looked at his men and asked sternly, "Everyone, Jiang Guang has led another 50,000 troops to attack Gaotang. I wonder if you have any clever plans to defeat them?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, speechless. How could they have any plan to defeat the enemy?

Duke Zhuang of Qi has already led the army in person, and he has the help of Zixuan from Fugui City. It seems that this time the situation is very dangerous.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Fengshawei also sighed: "Alas, I know that this time it will be difficult to defend."

"But we can't just sit there and wait for death. Come with me to the city wall and inspect it."

"Prepare more defensive weapons and supplies, and try to prevent Jiang Guang from attacking the city."

Yes, yes! Everyone obeyed the order and followed Fengshawei up the city wall.

At this time, Jiang Guang, Zixuan Boyuan and others also came to Gaotang City to inspect the positions.

When Fengshawei saw that it was Duke Zhuang of Qi, he bowed hypocritically and said, "Your Majesty! I, Fengshawei, am honored to be here."

When Jiang Guang saw Feng Shawei, he hated him so much, but with so many people watching him, he couldn't show any impoliteness.

So, he also pretended to be polite and replied: "Doctor Feng, how have you been lately?"

"Haha! Thanks to the great blessing of the king, I am living quite well."

"Well, I wonder if you have the courage to leave the city and meet me?"

Feng Shawei thought about it, then laughed and said, "Why not? I will leave the city and meet the king right away!"

The soldiers were shocked when they heard this and rushed forward to stop him: "Sir, you can't do that! If you leave the city, you will be killed by the King of Qi!"

Fengshawei waved his hand: "What are you afraid of? Gaotang is already at the end of his rope! Why would I be afraid of Jiang Guang?"

So he ordered people to open the city gate and came before Duke Zhuang of Qi alone.

When Zixuan saw Fengshawei leaving the city alone, he admired his courage.

He didn't know what tricks Jiang Guang was going to use, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Fengshawei approached Duke Zhuang of Qi and bowed deeply, saying, "Your Majesty, I have come here with great courage."

Duke Ling of Qi sneered and nodded. "Very good, if you have the guts, then I'll ask you about the city's defenses. Do you dare to tell me?"

"Why not? I'm telling you the truth. Gaotang City no longer has any defenses!"

"Oh? You, Fengshawei, are so honest that you actually told me the truth?"

"Haha! Why not? Your Majesty, I have come down from the city. I wonder if Your Majesty dares to climb the walls of Gaotang?"

Duke Zhuang of Qi thought about it and realized that Fengshawei was testing his courage. If he didn't dare to go, he would be laughed at by the world.

Besides, Gaotang was within his grasp, and it was estimated that those soldiers would not dare to do anything to him.

On the other hand, he wanted to climb Gaotang City to break the psychological defenses of the soldiers defending the city.

So, he readily agreed, "Haha! Since you, Doctor Feng, dare to come here alone, how can I retreat!"

He looked at Zixuan and asked, "Sister Xuan, are you willing to go with your brother?"

Zixuan nodded in agreement. At this time, she had already seen two familiar faces on the city wall, and immediately came up with a plan.

The two men were Gaotang's garrison commanders Zhuichao and Gongluhui, whom he had met a year ago.

Zhichuo is Yike's cousin, and Gongluhui is Zhichuo's brother-in-law.

A year ago, the two men went to Fugui City to find Yi Ke and asked him to introduce Zixuan, hoping to serve Fugui City.

Seeing that these two men had good martial arts skills and talents, Zixuan agreed to recruit them for his own work.

But he did not keep them in Guicheng, and ordered the two to continue hiding in Gaotang and wait for the opportunity to act.

Thinking of this, she used her mind to notify the boss to write her a note...

When Bo Yuan saw that Zixuan agreed to go up the city wall with Duke Zhuang of Qi, he didn't say anything and hurriedly followed Zixuan into the city.

After Duke Zhuang of Qi climbed up the city wall, he stood with his hands behind his back, looking here and there, just like a leader inspecting work.

When Zhuichao and Gonglu saw Zixuan climbing up the city wall, they understood the purpose of her trip and immediately came to her side.

Zixuan understood, nodded, and secretly slipped the note to Zhichuo.

Seeing that Duke Zhuang of Qi remained silent, Fengshawei tentatively asked, "What are your instructions, Your Majesty?"

He wanted to negotiate, but didn't want to take the initiative. He wanted Duke Zhuang of Qi to speak first so that he would have the confidence to negotiate terms.

Duke Zhuang of Qi understood his intention, so he refused to negotiate with him.

Gaotang City is about to fall into his hands, so why bother negotiating? Haha, what a joke!

Seeing that Duke Zhuang of Qi had no intention of negotiating, Fengsha Wei gave up.

He did not attack Jiang Guang either, knowing that doing so would make the situation in Gaotang City even worse.

Maybe he would spare my life because I didn't harm him.

With a lucky mentality, he accompanied Duke Zhuang of Qi to inspect the work and then sent him out of the city.

This scene was incredible to the soldiers on both the attacking and defending sides.

In fact, the Fengsha Guards defended Gaotang City not because they wanted to split the State of Qi.

He knew very well that he did not have the strength, let alone the courage.

The reason why I invited him to the city wall was just to negotiate terms with him.

But judging from Duke Ling of Qi's words and actions, he obviously had no intention of letting him go.

The soldiers who followed Fengshawei to hold their ground also understood the reason.

After inspecting Gaotang City, Duke Zhuang of Qi did not say anything about peace talks.

This also made Fengshawei understand his own fate, and he also knew that the Qi army was about to launch a general attack on Gaotang.
