Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 430: The ability to counterattack is getting stronger

Ning Zhiwei looked at the man on the city wall from afar and snorted coldly. The city wall was built so high that even arrows could not reach it.

Did she think she could be safe just because she was out of range? That was underestimating her.

"Su Mingjin, for the sake of the people of the capital, surrender."

"As long as you surrender honestly, I will spare your life, grant you a title, and ensure your wealth and prosperity for the rest of your life."

Although you are said to be rich and powerful, in reality you are imprisoned in one place and will never be free in your life.

As for the bitterness inside, that is inhumane.

Of course, this ending is already the best.

Su Mingjin was proud and arrogant, how could he accept such a fate?

"Ning Zhiwei, we can live in peace, why won't you let me go?"

His ability to turn the tables has become increasingly powerful.

Ning Zhiwei looked at him coldly, "Who started the trouble first? Who took advantage of me being far away in the northwest to brazenly send troops to invade the border and kill my people?"

She didn't want to attack him so quickly, and wanted to deal with the northeast and southwest first. As a result, he couldn't wait to jump out.

"Su Mingjin, when you were slaughtering the people, did you ever think that one day it would be your turn?"

This guy was the one who started the trouble first, but he put the blame on others. He is innocent.

Extremely shameless.

Su Mingjin looked at her infatuatedly, and suddenly said, "Who told you not to marry me? If you want to blame someone, blame you."

Everyone on and off the city wall was stunned. What was he talking about?

Su Mingjin said confidently, "If you marry me, our two families will become one, and we will rule the world together. There will be no need for wars and wars."

"After all, this war has continued and countless people have been killed and injured. It's all because of you."

The generals and soldiers of Jiang State felt that there was some truth in it. In ancient times, there were marriages between princesses, and now there are two saints in power, and the world is at peace.

However, the soldiers of the Yong Dynasty were furious. How could such a person dare to covet their wise and powerful empress?

It's bad enough that he can't afford to lose, but he's also disgusting.

Zhou Hongye listened to it and shouted angrily, "Su Mingjin, you traitor, why don't you take a piss? You are neither good at literature nor martial arts, and you have only gotten to this point by selling yourself to a girl from an aristocratic family. How dare you want to get close to my emperor?"

"What do you mean by governing the world together? It's obvious that you are incompetent and want to use my Majesty to help you conquer the world. You also want her to pave the way for you and you can sit back and reap the benefits."

"I've seen many shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you."

He directly tore off Su Mingjin's hypocritical mask without leaving any face.

Su Mingjin saw another old friend and felt complicated.

"Zhou Hongye, you were originally mine, my adviser. You should serve me wholeheartedly and work for me."

In his previous life, Zhou Hongye was the number one counselor around him, always thinking about him and making plans for him, and made great contributions to his great cause.

But now, they have all been taken away by Ning Zhiwei!

His former right-hand men and left-hand men united to rebel!

Zhou Hongye felt like he was stuck with shit, and felt extremely sick. "With you? Are you worthy? You can't do anything, and you are the best at living off others. I don't look down on you."

These words slapped Su Mingjin in the face, and he couldn't help but get angry and said, "Zhou Hongye, you traitor, I will kill you."

Zhou Hongye looked at Ning Zhiwei in horror, "Your Majesty, he is crazy."

Ning Zhiwei smiled slightly, "Even if he pretends to be crazy and stupid, he can't escape."

"Siege the city."

With her order, the first siege began.

Su Mingjin was well prepared and reinforced the city wall repeatedly, making it unbreakable.

There were many traps set in front of the city gate, including knife arrays, tripwires, horse pits, and poison.

However, the Ning family army first used explosives to bombard the place indiscriminately, blowing up all the traps.

Battering rams, ladders, and catapults were used one after another, and the sound of killing was deafening.

Ning Zhiwei personally commanded the operation and used all kinds of means.

Su Mingjin was secretly shocked when he saw this. Watching this decisive battle from such a close distance, he became less and less confident.

The guard beside him gently reminded, "Your Majesty, this place is too dangerous, you should stay in the palace."

Since Su Mingjin is not on site to direct the operation, it would be better for him to leave early.

He called the Minister of War over and said, "I appoint you as the Grand Marshal of the Army to command the three armies. I hope you can defeat the enemy as soon as possible."

"Yes."

He handed over the front line to the Minister of War and led his men away from the city wall.

He rode on the street. There were not many people on the road. The doors of every house were closed. There were not many shops open, just a few scattered around. It was very quiet.

No one dared to leave the house.

Suddenly, Su Mingjin stopped, looked back at several stores, and scanned the surroundings.

The guard asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Su Mingjin frowned, "I feel like someone is staring at me." This feeling is not good.

"Maybe, there are people behind every door."

"Let's go back."

He rode away with his guards, completely unaware that on the second floor of a store, a pair of dark eyes were staring at his back.

A voice suddenly sounded, "Lin Jingshu."

The woman crawling on the ground was covered in dirt and seemed not to hear anything, and she did not move.

He whipped him and said, "Don't act crazy or stupid. I know you are pretending. As long as you hand over the formula of gunpowder, I will let you go."

The woman twitched in pain but still showed no reaction.

Su Mingjin had no peace in the palace either. He was always keeping an eye on the war situation and was deeply worried.

The war situation was getting worse day by day, which made him unable to sleep or eat, and he had no mood to summon his concubines.

Many officials asked him to move the capital, but he scolded them all, saying that the emperor is the one guarding the country's borders. His righteous words moved countless people and stabilized their hearts.

Su Si sent another battle report, and Su Mingjin looked at it in despair, "Si, it's already the fifth day, how come Ning Zhiwei still has explosives? How much did she get?"

Su Asi's eyes flickered, "I don't know."

Only he knows how much truth there is in this battle report.

Who made Su Mingjin not leave the palace? A son of a wealthy family should not sit in the hall, and a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall.

Listening to the rumbling sound of explosions outside, Su Mingjin's scalp went numb. He felt like he couldn't live like this.

"Aren't you an intelligence officer? How come you don't know?"

Su Asi remained silent. When Su Mingjin had almost finished scolding him, he spoke, "Your Majesty, the ships have been arranged. Fresh water and food are available. They can feed 10,000 people for a month."

Su Mingjin felt from the beginning that this was a losing battle and had already made plans for a retreat.

"Wait a little longer." It is difficult to give up this foundation.

Su Asi frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, the city wall is already in danger. Ning Zhiwei said that he would only punish the main culprit, so the soldiers are wavering. They can't hold out for three days. By then it will be too late."

Su Mingjin sighed softly, "Forget it, I will leave the palace at midnight tonight."

"Yes, how many people are you bringing from the harem?" Some officials have already slipped away quietly.

Su Mingjin hesitated for a moment and said, "Just take the eldest prince with you. Don't let the news leak out. Keep this matter secret for a few days until we are safe."

Su Asi cursed him inwardly for being heartless and ungrateful, not even taking his wife and concubines with him, "Yes."

At midnight, when everyone was still immersed in their dreams, a group of people surrounded Su Mingjin and walked out of the palace, leaving the capital quietly.

As soon as the group left, a terrified scream rang out from the palace, "The emperor ran away, Su Mingjin escaped."
