Chapter 1673

Chen Ning cupped her hands in front of Liu Chengyuan and said, "I didn't think Guard Liu would have the determination to defend the city to the death. This envoy really admires you. If the city exists, the people will exist. If the city falls, the people will die. These words are very impassioned and make one's blood boil! It's just that I think Guard Liu's method is a stupid one. It can't be any more stupid! "

Hearing this, Liu Chengyuan and everyone else were stunned.

They all looked at Chen Ning with confused eyes. They were muttering in their hearts, "This is a stupid method. Could it be that you have a smart method?"

Chen Ning glanced around and her gaze landed back on Liu Chengyuan's face. She asked in a serious tone, "Guard Liu, you are prepared to lead these three thousand soldiers and two thousand strong citizens to fight against the South Yue's army of a hundred thousand. If you can defend, then defend. If you can't, then die. Is that right? But have you ever thought that even if all five thousand of you die on the battlefield, Yuezhou City will still be lost in the hands of the South Yue? If that's the case, why don't you preserve your strength and only leave three hundred people behind? Then have the rest of the soldiers and citizens leave the city ahead of time? "

Liu Chengyuan let out a laugh and raised his head. He said, "In the end, the honorable envoy still wants us to abandon the city and become deserters on the battlefield? Although we can keep our lives this way, how will we have the face to see our ancestors if we continue to live like this?! We have already sworn to live and die with Yuezhou City. We will never run! "

As soon as his voice fell, the soldiers all shouted in unison, "We will follow Guard Liu and live and die with Yuezhou City. We will defend the city to the death!"

The way they looked at Guard Liu was filled with passion and admiration. But the way they looked at Chen Ning was filled with disdain and contempt.

Hmph! What special envoy sent by the emperor to help defend the city. What a big mouth, but he is actually a coward!

How dare they encourage them to abandon the city and become deserters that everyone despises! Pei!

Liu Chengyuan clasped his hands and said to Chen Ning, "If Official Chen doesn't want to die, then I understand. Someone, quickly prepare two fast horses and escort Official Chen and Miss Qian Qian out of the north gate. Official Chen, I still have to patrol the city walls, so I won't be sending you off. Please forgive me, I'll leave now!"

He actually ordered them to leave. Moreover, he knew that he was going to die, so he didn't even say that they would meet again someday.

Chen Ning revealed a faint smile. She placed her hands in her sleeves and calmly stood in place.

"Is Guard Liu trying to chase us away? Do you think we're all cowards who are afraid of death? "She said unhurriedly.

Liu Chengyuan bowed, "I don't dare."

Because Chen Ning was a special envoy sent by the emperor, he did not dare be disrespectful with his words. But his expression clearly said, could it be that you are not?

"Chen," Chen Ning said, "If we were really, really, of the emperor of the emperor of the city, why didn't we come? Are we not afraid that we won't be able to leave? When the South Yue army arrives, we'll lose our lives here as well? "

Her words made Liu Chengyuan speechless. He stared at her and didn't know what to say.

"That's right, that's right. I misunderstood Official Chen. I hope Official Chen doesn't blame me." The more Liu Chengyuan thought about it, the more he felt Chen Ning's words made sense. If he was really afraid of death, why would he enter the city to die?
