Chapter 468: plot

After Emperor Xingluo gave a series of orders, everyone in the palace nodded and left the palace to execute the order.
As soon as he left the palace, an earl approached a duke and asked quietly beside him: "Master Yuan, what should we do now?"
Duke Yuan didn't turn his head and whispered softly: "This place is not a place to talk. First, finish the task assigned by your Majesty, and come to my residence tonight."
"it is good."
The Marquis nodded as it should, and then he turned and whispered to a dozen nearby people, who nodded to complete the tasks assigned to them by the Emperor Xingluo.
The white-haired old man named Du who proposed to retreat in the Star Luo Hall had just returned home when a royal shadow guard appeared in front of him and said respectfully: "Duke Du, Your Majesty wants to see you. "
Duke Du was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but quickly recovered and nodded slightly: "Okay."
Immediately, under the leadership of this shadow guard, Du Duke quietly came to the study of the palace.
Duke Du respectfully saluted Emperor Xingluo, and said: "See Your Majesty."
Emperor Xingluo waved his hand and said, "Old Du, don't be polite, please sit down. I am looking for you this time, and you must have guessed why I am looking for you."
Duke Du sat down on a chair beside him, nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty, do you still plan to retreat?"
Emperor Xingluo shook his head slightly and said, "No, I don't plan to retreat."
Duke Du was startled and said, "Your Majesty, why is this?"
Emperor Xingluo said: "As I said before, the Xingluo Empire has been founded for thousands of years, and there is no emperor who retreats without a fight. I cannot set this precedent. I am looking for you this time for another matter."
"Another thing? Your Majesty, please say." Du Duke said with some doubts.
Emperor Xingluo nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "From the perspective of national strength alone, the national power of our Xingluo Empire is stronger than that of Heaven Dou and Wuhun empires. Even if the two empires are combined, we are not It should be so difficult to fight, and there is no resistance. This is almost impossible, unless there is an inner ghost in the empire!"
Duke Du showed a slightly surprised expression on his face. He thought for a while, his face solemnly said: "Your Majesty, do you have any doubts?"
Emperor Xingluo sighed slightly, with an ugly look on his face, slightly shook his head and said, "No. But now the only thing I can be sure of is that you are still on my side."
Emperor Xingluo finished speaking, staring straight at Duke Du, his eyes are very sincere and confident.
Du Duke Du was taken aback for a moment, and then his heart warmed. His Majesty still didn't let him, an old official, feel cold. He smiled and nodded and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as I am still alive, I will never let anyone approach you!"
All the subtle reactions of Duke Du were seen by Emperor Xingluo, he was slightly relieved, and a smile appeared on his face. Although Emperor Xingluo believed in Duke Du more, things were complicated now. Anyone could be a ghost, even Duke Du he trusted the most.
But now it seems that Duke Du is still firmly on his side!
Emperor Xingluo shook his head and said, "Lao Du, it is enough to have you. I came to you now, because I have another thing to leave to you."
Du Lao said: "Your Majesty, as long as the veteran can do it, even if the veteran is spared his life, you will never be disappointed!"
Emperor Xingluo nodded slightly and said: "Old Du, this time staying at Xingluo City has a low chance of winning. I guess it is only 30% certain. If Xingluo City is broken, I need you to take Mubai and Zhuqing away from Xingluo. Luo Cheng, heading south, accumulating strength secretly, after the end of the civil war between the Heaven Dou and Wuhun empires, he took advantage of the chaos and went north to regain everything that should belong to us!"
Duke Du showed a shocked look on his face when he heard the words, and looked at Emperor Xingluo in surprise. He never expected that Emperor Xingluo would make such a decision. He looked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, what about you?"
Emperor Xingluo turned his head and looked at the direction of the two empires. He looked at Duke Du with a firm look on his face. He smiled and said: "I said, Emperor Xingluo didn't counsel you. I naturally want to stay with Xingluo. The city is at the last minute!"
After a short pause, Emperor Xingluo slowly stood up and said, "Old Du, Mubai and the others will leave it to you."
Duke Du was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, as long as the veteran is still there, I will definitely not let other people harm the prince and princess!"
...
Time was hurried, and it soon came to one o'clock in the morning.
Duke Yuan was in the secret room of the mansion in Xingluo City.
At this time, there were more than twenty people sitting here. Except for Duke Yuan, who was the highest-ranked, all the others with the lowest-ranked were earls. These twenty-odd people are half of the middle and high level who stayed behind in Star Luo City.
Duke Yuan glanced at the people below and nodded slightly and said, "How are the tasks your Majesty has given you?"
"My lord, the guard of the southern city wall has been replaced by our own."
"The people on the Western Wall have also been replaced by our own people."
"The other two walls only put a few of our people at the gates."
...
One by one, these people talked about their arrangements.
Duke Yuan nodded slightly and said: "The current situation is very bad for the Star Luo Empire. Even if all the troops are mobilized to guard the Star Luo City, it is probably difficult to defend. The Star Luo Empire is very likely to be in this war. Destroy the country.
Once Star Luo City is broken, we who have been resisting will definitely not be pleased in the hands of the two empires, but if we continue to provide crucial assistance when they attack the city, the result will be different. "
Everyone at the scene remained silent upon hearing this, no one spoke, and it was precisely because of this that they gathered here.
After a short pause, Duke Yuan continued: "However, the Star Luo Empire is an empire that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is not so easy to defeat. There is still a little chance of a comeback, but from the current situation, the possibility is very small.
However, once we turned against the water, the Star Luo Empire might not even have the last trace.
All of you present will be the heroes of my Wuhun Hall to unify the mainland! "
Although everyone on the scene remained silent, there was a slight smile on their faces.
"By then, follow my orders and open the west and south gates at the same time. The final victory will belong to my Wuhun Hall!" Yuan Duke glanced at the crowd, a little excited.
"Victory will belong to my Wuhun Hall!" The rest of the people also shouted in unison.
