Zuo Shuang and Meng Luo chatted as they walked, entering the Central Army Tent. Originally, Zuo Shuang wanted to invite Meng Luo to sit in the main seat, but Meng Luo refused to budge. Seeing that he was not being courteous, Zuo Shuang could only let it go, and the two of them sat down.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Zuo Shuang opened his mouth and asked: "Prime Minister Meng's visit, must be because of something?"

"Ha ha!" Meng Luo slightly smiled, and said: "If there's nothing, there's no need. This Minister does have matters to attend to." Pausing for a moment, he asked: "Has General Zuo Shuang lived a good life in the Feng Country?"

After Zuo Shuang heard this, his old face immediately blushed red. He was originally a General of Ning Country, but now that his Ning Country had been annihilated by the wind, he was unable to repay the country with his death, and instead went over to the Feng Country. He let out a hollow laugh and said, "I'm fine!"

It was the will of the Son of Heaven and the Emperor's palace to combine their Feng Country And Mo Country to punish them. In front of Meng Luo, it was not good for Zuo Shuang to say anything else.

Meng Luo looked deeply at Zuo Shuang, changed the subject, and suddenly asked: "Could it be that General Zuo Shuang is willing to become Feng Chen, and does not want to avenge his Highness King Ning and Ning Country?"

Ah? Zuo Shuang was dumbstruck, what did Meng Luo mean by that? Was he here just to test him? His expression turned serious and he quickly said: "Former King is disloyal to the Son of Heaven, even dying in Feng Mo Country is fate, how would this general dare ?"

Before he finished speaking, Meng Luo was already laughing out loud, and said: "The Feng Country And Mo Country is joining hands to invade Ning, does General Zuo Shuang really think that it is His Majesty's will?"

"Could it be ?"

"His Majesty has decreed it, but it was all because of this deceitful official, Tang Yin!" Meng Luo gritted his teeth and said, "Tang Yin has used the imperial government's Feng Country to bully His Majesty. He has oppressed the imperial government to a point where it is unbearable.

The Tian Zi was currently residing in the Feng Country, it was inevitable that he would be restricted by Tang Yin. He could imagine it, but since Meng Luo dared to say such words in front of everyone, he could not help but be shocked.

Meng Luo didn't give Zuo Shuang much time to think, he immediately took out the Heavenly Son's secret edict and passed it to Zuo Shuang, and said softly: "General Zuo Shuang, this is an edict that the Son of Heaven wrote personally. Please have a look."

Refuse to go against the imperial edict? Zuo Shuang gulped down his saliva as he looked at the embroidered scroll that Meng Luo had handed over to him, and did not react for a long time.

Meng Luo squinted his eyes, looked straight at Zuo Shuang, and said again: "Please take a look General!"

Zuo Shuang regained his senses, his hands trembled as he received the edict. He unfurled it and carefully read the contents from beginning to end. After reading it, he fell into deep thought again.

"General Zuo Shuang, the Son of Heaven has already counted Tang Yin's crimes in the edict, now is the time for the General to show his loyalty to the Son of Heaven, and is able to wash away the shame of the country, what is the General waiting for?" Meng Luo stared at Zuo Shuang without blinking, and said with a gloomy and urgent tone.

"This ?" Zuo Shuang frowned, and shook his head without saying a word.

His hatred for Tang Yin was not as deep as Monroe had imagined. As a man of peace and a general of a fallen nation, not only did Tang Yin not kill him, but he was actually important to him. He even ignored the fact that Tang Yin had given him the title of commander-in-chief with unparalleled trust, which filled Zuo Shuang's heart with gratitude.

Of course, he also had some enmity towards Tang Yin; after all, it was Tang Yin who extinguished the Ning Country and killed the King Ning. Zuo Shuang's current status within the Feng Army was very awkward, and his feelings towards Tang Yin were also very complicated, but he definitely could not reverse it just because he wanted to.

Moreover, this matter was extremely important. It was not a matter for him alone, but rather the lives and deaths of all the soldiers in the army. How could he dare to make a hasty decision?

After being silent for a long while, he slowly put down the imperial edict, raised his head, and said to Meng Luo: "This general has already read your majesty's imperial edict, and requests Prime Minister Meng to return and tell the Son of Heaven that Zuo Shuang ? We will make our decision as soon as possible! "

Meng Luo thought that as the General of Ning Country, he should have immediately made a decision after reading the decree. He would act according to the Son of Heaven's orders, start a rebellion, and kill Tang Yin. However, the reality was not like that at all.

He frowned and asked, "What? Could it be that General Zuo is worried about hoeing thieves? "

"No, no, no ?" "I have no intention of doing so ?"

"So it is General Zuo who is afraid of death?"

Eh? Hearing these words, Zuo Shuang's heart was suddenly filled with rejection. He said in a serious tone: "From the day this general chose to join the army, my personal life and death have been thrown to the back of my mind ?" This lowly general was not worried about his own life or death, but the life and death of the entire army of one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers.

He had only spoken half of his words, but before he could finish, Meng Luo interrupted him and coldly asked: "Since that's the case, what are you worried about, General Zuo? "The decree of the Son of Heaven has been passed down, and as the subject, the general should carry it out as per his orders. Could it be that the general's promise to do his duty for the Son of Heaven is only a promise?"

frowned. The Son of Heaven had wanted to kill Tang Yin on a whim, so he gave this so-called secret mission, but the Son of Heaven had never thought about what would happen if he really killed Tang Yin once the Xijing Army rebelled. Could Feng Army be forgiven? Where should he run to with his one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers? There were heavy soldiers guarding Tong Gate, and even more people with Ba Pass, so it would be difficult for one with Xijing Army to survive. Feng Ren didn't dare to do anything to the Son of Heaven, but he would definitely exterminate all of Xijing Army!

Tang Yin was not someone who could be killed just because he wanted to be killed. or perhaps it could be said that the Son of Heaven and the imperial government were only thinking of themselves, and did not care about the final fate of the one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers of the Xijing Army at all.

The Son of Heaven and the court were just a bunch of selfish people! Zuo Shuang sighed in his heart, then straightened his body and said: "Prime Minister Meng, I shall accept the last letter of the Son of Heaven, if there is nothing else, please return, this matter ? This lowly general still needs to discuss carefully with the brothers under my command. "

Seeing that Meng Luo still wanted to speak, Zuo Shuang continued, "As the commander of the Xijing Army, this lowly general should consider the future of the warriors under his command.0

Zuo Shuang's attitude was resolute beyond Meng Luo's imagination. Seeing that his face was flushed and his aura heavy, he knew that if he continued to force him, it would perhaps backfire.

Meng Luo nodded and at the same time let out a long sigh. He spoke in a gentle tone, sounded emotional and reasonable, and said, "General Zuo, if we don't kill Tang Yin, the Son of Heaven will die one day by this thief's hands. The Empire will also be destroyed by him. I am speaking to the general not as the Minister of the Left in the middle court but as the subject of an empire. For the Son of Heaven and for the lives of all the people in the world, the general should not care about his own life and death. With that, he stood up shakily, cupped his hands, and said, "This old man... "I shall take my leave now and wait for the general's reply!"

With these soft words, even Zuo Shuang was moved. He stood up quickly and cupped his hands: "Prime Minister Meng, this general will give it to you!"

"No need, General, please wait, General ?" "Let's take a good look at the edict. It contains the blood and tears of the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven and all the ministers of the court are waiting for the general right now ?" While speaking, Meng Luo slowly walked out of the Central Army Tent.

Meng Luo left. Zuo Shuang sat in his tent and thought deeply for a long time.

Since it was the decree of the Son of Heaven, he should act according to the decree. However, he also had such concerns. For a moment, he hesitated, not knowing what to do.

Just as he was hesitating, someone reported outside the tent that Wei Xuan was seeking an audience.

Wei Xuan had already been promoted to the Deputy Commander by Tang Yin, so he was equivalent to Zuo Shuang's assistant. The two of them had come into contact with each other privately, and other than the identities of both Ning Ren and Feng Ren, the two of them were on good terms with each other. Wei Xuan was not a traditional general, but because he received the martial token, he was immediately promoted to a general by Tang Yin. He had insufficient experience, and did not know any martial arts, but he was a modest and cautious man, if there were any things he did not understand, he would frequently ask Zuo Shuang for guidance.

He had already received Tang Yin's secret order, and brought the Hidden Arrow Crew that Cheng Jin had sent into the army, if anything happened, he could eliminate the commander of the Ning people, who was led by Zuo Shuang, immediately.

But from the bottom of his heart, he did not want Zuo Shuang to die because of the rebellion.

Hearing that Wei Xuan had come, Zuo Shuang was just about to invite him in, but when his eyes landed on the table, he immediately grabbed it out of fright. He did not know where he should hide in a hurry, so he decided to just directly put it under his butt and sit down.

Not long later, Wei Xuan walked in from the outside.

"General, this lowly general pays his respect." Wei Xuan respectfully interposed himself to pay his respects.

"Brother Wei, please take a seat." Zuo Shuang had secretly gotten used to calling the army his brother. Now that he was the commander, it was hard for him to change this habit for a while.

Wei Xuan laughed and then sat on the side of Zuo Shuang.

Zuo Shuang sat on top of the Son of Heaven's edict, feeling a little unnatural. His butt moved uneasily, and he asked with a smile: "Brother Wei, what's the matter?"

Wei Xuan looked at Zuo Shuang's questioning gaze and paused for a moment, then said: "I heard that Prime Minister Meng had just come, I wonder what business does old Prime Minister have?"

Zuo Shuang secretly took a deep breath, but his expression did not change as he laughed: "Nothing much, I'm just here to chat about family matters."

"Oh? This lowly general has never been aware that General and Prime Minister Meng are actually still connected. "

"It's just an ordinary friendship."

"That's for the best." Wei Xuan shrugged and said, "The King doesn't like the fact that the civil and military officials of my Imperial Court are too close to the ministers of the Imperial Court."

Ah!" "It's like this ?" Zuo Shuang answered without thinking, while his mind raced. He guessed that Wei Xuan might have detected something.

Wei Xuan smiled and asked, "Does the general know why the King doesn't like us interacting with the ministers of the imperial government?"

Zuo Shuang asked absent-mindedly: "Why?"

"The King has always said that the culture and martial arts of the Windy Palace is one in a million, while the ministers of the Imperial Court are all traitorous nobles. Porcelain and clay pots are placed side by side, and even if they were broken, it would be painful if they were broken." As she spoke, Wei Xuan began to laugh as if she were telling a joke. She said, "Although the King's analogy may not be appropriate, it does make a lot of sense. General, what do you think?"
