The family's heritage is far beyond what ordinary ministers can match. It is even deeper than a country's treasury....

Although Zhao Yun pushed back dozens of cities, he was not without any damage. He had already sent Sun Ce to go around the back of the Kushan capital....

Vesudeva I faced the main hall where everyone had dispersed almost instantly. He stood there blankly. After the ministers left, the main hall became a mess. The slaves stole or robbed from their masters. He took some valuable things and ran out of the palace, leaving only a few old ministers who were always an eyesore to him....

But Vesudev I still stood there motionless, but within half an hour, as if he had aged dozens of years, Kushan, the place where his fathers had worked hard all their lives, was destroyed in his hands.

He felt ashamed to see his ancestors, recalling the scenes of his past, those people who were gradually getting rich in the hands of his fathers....

After he ascended the throne as emperor, he also thought about being an emperor who was diligent and caring for the people, but there was no place for him to manage in the country that was well taken care of by his fathers. Later,...After being persuaded by the aristocratic family, he began to indulge in women and spend extravagantly. Today he was interested in building a garden, and tomorrow he was angry and spent thousands of gold to buy a hairpin for a beautiful woman. There were too many such things.

Although the Kushan Empire was still a big country, it had to forcibly raise taxes because of its years of extravagance. Although the Silk Road brought huge wealth, it also came with considerable risks.

And he, regardless of everyone's opposition, resolutely sent countless servants and capable ministers. It has to be said that the Silk Road was not easy to walk. This road was paid for by Vesuthiva I with countless lives. Come.

Therefore, he felt that the lion of the Haotian Empire had opened his mouth, and he faced all this with a self-comforting mentality. He felt that Guishan was still the same as before, with strong soldiers and horses, and rich wealth.

He overestimated his capabilities and tried to stop the eager Haotian Empire with an army of hundreds of thousands and a group of old generals who only had experience in leading armies.

It was obviously half of Vesuthiva's lifetime, but she recalled everything in the blink of an eye.

However, Vesudeva I did not wake up in time, and he also understood that surrender may be the only chance to keep a part of Kushan.

And he...

While Vesudeva I was still in a daze, several veterans had gathered together to discuss a solution.

"Mr. Lu, is there any way now that can help me, Guishuang, escape this disaster?"

In the main hall, six old men over fifty gathered around and anxiously thought of a solution.

"Now Haotian's army is approaching the city. According to what the ordering soldier said, the only option now is to surrender. Maybe I can still protect Guishang....If the Haotian Empire does not accept the surrender of my Kushan, then my whole family must fight. Maybe we can make a comeback, but...Almost impossible."

The five old men bowed their hands to one of them.

"Appreciate further details"

"Mr. Lu, please tell me quickly, why are you still so showy?"

One of the old men urged, Master Lu looked serious.

"Mr. Liu, you are going to ring the Kushan Emperor Bell. You have to pass through the city gate here, so be careful. You can only succeed, not fail."

An old man patted his chest vigorously and said in a reassuring tone:"Master Lu, you still don't believe in my ability, Old Liu. Even if he dies, Old Liu can't let the late emperor's Kushan be destroyed by just a few of us. old man's hand"

"And me? And me?"

An old man took a step forward in a hurry, but his lame foot seemed to stumble out of thin air. The other old man hurriedly pulled and stabilized his body.

"Mr. Li, you are still as reckless and reckless as before. I heard that your newly married daughter-in-law is Lina, the eldest daughter of the royal merchant of the cloth shop?"

When the old man heard his daughter-in-law's name, he began to hesitate.…

"You old thing, you are moping, now Haotian's army is approaching the city, if you delay for a while, the country that the late emperor entrusted to our care will be destroyed in our hands."

Master Liu cursed angrily.

The old man gritted his teeth and thought of all the instructions the late emperor had given him during his lifetime.

"Yes, she is the eldest daughter of the royal merchant of Buhang. I don’t know what Mr. Lu’s orders are."

The old man raised his hands and saluted Mr. Lu.

"Mr. Li, your daughter-in-law is the eldest daughter of a cloth shop. She has been running a cloth shop with her father since she was a child. I heard that the cloth that His Highness wanted to ship to the Silk Road had not yet been dyed, but it was still white?"

Thinking of the white cloth accumulated in his yard, Mr. Li nodded.

"In this case, now that the country is about to perish, don't worry about the Silk Road. Mr. Li, I ask you to ride a fast horse and use white silk to seal the doors of people's homes. You must run to every house in the city. Don't Something is missing."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief and said yes.

"Lord Wang, Lord Niu, you have to go to my back door in Kushan and lead the soldiers to delay or hold it. As long as I don't let anyone send you a message, even if you die in battle, you can't take a step back."

Tears welled up in the eyes of one of the old men. The other old man tugged on Mr. Wang's sleeve as if to comfort him and answered first.

"Mr. Lu, don’t worry, my old man Niu is still as strong as before, but Mr. Wang is a civil servant. If he follows such a bad old man like me to the front line, he may be extremely frightened, not to mention... he has no strength to tie a chicken.……"

Mr. Lu waved his hand and looked at Mr. Wang, who still had tears in his eyes.

"Okay, why are you crying? I'm not asking you to die. The navy should be commander-in-chief Zhou Yu and Sun Ce the vanguard. All you have to do is hang the white flag on the city wall and persuade Zhou Yu and Sun Ce to wait for my news."

Master Niu breathed a sigh of relief, and without waiting for Master Wang to answer, he directly answered the question for him.

"Mr. Zhao... your task is the most arduous. You have to open the treasury and hide the real treasure passed down from generation to generation. In addition, you must quickly prepare a generous compensation. I will take it with you to surrender to the Haotian army to make amends."

"Mr. Lu, don’t worry, even though I, Zhao Ji, am old, when it comes to identifying treasures at a glance, no one can compare to me."

The old man boasted somewhat proudly.

"The country of Kushan is entrusted to you."

Master Lu gave a big salute without hesitation, and then turned to look at Vesuthiva I who was on the throne. Vesudeva I was still standing blankly, with a dull look in his eyes.

The five old ministers also followed Master Lu's gaze. After looking over for a few seconds, Mr. Liu flicked his sleeves and walked out of the palace angrily.

Mr. Wang, Mr. Niu followed, and Mr. Li followed him out of the palace last. Although Mr. Zhao was also angry at him, he didn't say anything. After taking out a jade pendant from the chest of King Vesudev I, he also walked out of the hall and went to the treasury.…
