Cao Yun's face turned pale and said coldly: "Don't think of success!"

"A great Qi military god, if you say such words, you are already guilty. This also proves that you also think that the possibility of my plan being successful is extremely high." Zhou Yifu said with a smile. "Your Highness, don't you think that doing this can solve the main contradictions in Da Qi now and keep your vitality as much as possible? Look, the competition is limited to Chang'an City, and the efforts invested by both sides are only 10,000 or 20,000 people. For Da Qi, it's just a drop in the bucket. Such a small investment can solve the contradictions in Da Qi. Where can I find such a reward?"

"Have you really solved the conflict between Da Qi?" Cao Yun looked at the other party: "No, there is nothing at all, what should exist or not."

"Your Highness, I think there are some things that I should take your time and time is the best way to do. Tyranny will only make the problem worse. As long as your Highness ascends to the throne, we are willing to make concessions in some aspects."

"Concessions? Will you hand over control of the local area? Will you spit out the annexed land? Are you willing to pay commercial taxes to the court?" Cao Yun shook his head: "No, you won't."

Zhou Yifu was silent for a moment: "Your Highness, Prince, we can make a lot of concessions, but some things cannot be compromised, otherwise, there will be no current situation. We are willing to unite around you to build a powerful Qi State, but the prerequisite is not to use us as stepping stones."

"So, there's nothing to talk about." Cao Yun exhaled a breath of turbid air: "Since that's the case, neither Cao Tiancheng nor me will talk to you. There is still only one way, either you die or I die."

"Cao Tiancheng is dead!" Zhou Yifu said coldly.

"What you said has become a fact or not, the court will never compromise with you at this point." Cao Yun looked at Zhou Yifu: "If you can't figure this out, what else can I talk about?"

"Is the so-called compromise meant to step on our corpses?" Zhou Yifu said angrily: "Do you also want to turn Qi into ruins?"

"Qi State will not become a ruin." Cao Yun said: "If you do not surrender, Luoyang may indeed become a ruin. Zhou Yun, when the sunrise is when the attack begins, there is not much time left for you."

After the two confronted each other for a moment, Zhou Yifu suddenly laughed: "No matter whether you want it or not, you will still wear the emperor's crown. Become the new Emperor of Great Qi. When the news of Chang'an comes, the troops outside the city will naturally have some choices."

"I won't." Cao Yun said decisively. "Unless you put my body on the emperor's robe, but I think that's useless to you."

"Your Highness, your relatives will not consider it? Your grandchildren are so cute." Zhou Yifu's eyes were filled with cold light, "We are all people with noble identities. Although it is a bit vicious and not very decent to say this, don't force me."

Cao Yun closed his eyes and ignored Zhou Yifu's threat at all.

Zhou Yifu stared at Cao Yun for a moment, suddenly felt something was wrong. He stood up suddenly, rushed to the door of the inner hall at a speed that was not consistent with his age, and pushed open the closed door. At that moment, he felt that all the blood in his body was condensed in one place, from the outside to the inside, like falling into an ice cellar.

The room was very quiet, so quiet that it seemed that even a needle fell to the ground could be heard clearly.

The princess lay on the bed with a peaceful face. In front of the bed, several people were lying neatly, namely Cao Yun's son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren.

They lay there quietly, as if they were asleep, but their faces were grayish-white. They looked extremely peaceful.

Zhou Yifu felt a sense of cold air coming from under the soles of his feet, and he couldn't help but remember what the follower reported when he went out in the morning.

His Highness the Prince is very happy!

His Highness the Prince and his family were watching the night!

The King of Qi also burned firecrackers outside the hall with his two grandsons!

He moved back to Cao Yun step by step with difficulty, staring at Cao Yun with blood-red eyes: "How vicious are you?"

Cao Yun opened his closed eyes and looked at the place ahead: "It is better to be broken than to be complete! My Cao family, the emperor and nobles, can we be threatened by others and forget our original intentions. My Cao Yun family, would rather die than be chaotic."

With a rumbling sound, Zhou Yifu suddenly overturned the table, and the cup, plate and bowl fell to the ground, making a jingle and pounding sound.

"Then why don't you die?" he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Of course I will die, but it's not at this time." Cao Yun looked at Zhou Yifu with a sneer.

Outside, the long-lost sunlight finally poured out his first ray of light. The sunlight that penetrated from the door made Cao Yun above the main position shine brightly, golden like a god. Zhou Yifu, who was facing the sun, seemed to be a shadow from hell.

There was a rumbling drum sound from a distant place, and a vague sound of shouting came.

"Zhou Monfu, the war has begun." Cao Yun breathed a long sigh. "Don't expect any throne ceremony, nor do you expect me to bridge the rift between the two sides, because the order for the attack was issued by me."

Zhou Yifu shook his body and turned around suddenly: "Come here, protect His Highness the Prince and do not allow anyone to approach. His Highness the Prince needs to be carefully examined every drink and food."

"As for your order!" Outside the hall, several guards walked in.

Cao Yun laughed: "Zhou Yifu, don't worry, Cao will not commit suicide."

Zhou Yifu ignored Cao Yun and stepped out of the palace. The development of the matter exceeded his expectations. He never expected that Cao Yun was so decisive. He also regarded the wealthy families as beasts and was unwilling to accept it. He also sacrificed his entire family's lives for this and risked the Qi State's risk of a large-scale civil war.

The only thing he is looking for now is that the news that Cao Tiancheng was finished was quickly transmitted back to Luoyang. This news was enough to make the imperial army outside the city hesitate and make Long Xiang's army panic. The news of Cao Tiancheng's death would temporarily stop the war, thus bringing another opportunity for peace talks to both sides.

Of course Cao Yun cannot die! Even if he refuses to cooperate, it is a card that can be used well for himself.

Outside Luoyang City, the war has begun.

In Chang'an City, the battle has come to an end.

The joining of the three thousand defenders of Yulong Mountain brought by Cao Chong made the Long Xiang army, which was severely injured in the early stage of the battle, finally maintained the balance of power. They finally defended half of the Chang'an City. When it was dawn, the joining of the three thousand cavalry brought by Cao Hui and Tuobayan became the turning point of the war.

The main force of the rebels who attacked the city was defeated. The imperial army began to counterattack, and one street after another began to regain lost ground. The killers who had once appeared like ghosts in the night have basically disappeared. They are kings in the night, but in front of the brigade of officers and soldiers, they are no different from ordinary people. Whenever they emerge, they will be attacked like a storm. No matter how good the individual's martial arts cultivation is, they still have no power to fight back in the face of the group's attack.

Tuobayan and Lou Haichao soldiers launched a counterattack on the remaining enemies in two groups. Cao Hui's return also made the ghost spy detectives who had no command to fall into their own battles finally have a backbone. They cooperated with the army to search for assassins. The murder of Meng Tak, Mei Dong and Tao Hongzhi in the South Tianmen army fell into panic. These guys with very good martial arts cultivation scattered birds and beasts in a very short time, and while it was dark, most of them had already escaped. The escape of these people also saved Ghost Shadow most of the power. You must know that although these people were not enough to shake the overall situation, their combat capabilities and destructive power in a small range were extremely powerful.

Cao Tiancheng was dead, but the news was limited to a very small range. Cao Chong rushed to Luoyang with Cao Tiancheng's will, and Cao Hui was left in Luoyang to preside over the overall situation.

Orders were issued from the Chang'an Palace. The remaining officials of various departments and yamen in Chang'an, who were in a panic, finally had a backbone and began a remedial work that was panicked but still orderly.

As the rebels retreated step by step, Chang'an City gradually returned to peace. The people of Chang'an who were frightened by this sudden war carefully opened the door and looked at the dilapidated streets. Some were glad that their homes were preserved, while others were crying. In this short and rapid battle, countless people lost their homes and their relatives. But at this time, it was obvious that no one would care about their circumstances.

The battle continued! There were still signs of panic in Chang'an City, and the palace was already calm and calm. The palace where Cao Tiancheng's body was parked was surrounded by Long Xiang's army like an iron barrel. Not to mention ordinary officials, even the concubines in the harem were ordered to stay in their palaces at this moment and could not take a step.

Cao Hui sat on the high threshold with his knees in his arms. On the bed in the hall behind him was Cao Tiancheng's body. He was very worried now that Cao Chong not only took Cao Tiancheng's will, but also took Cao Zhu away. Everything that happened that night made Cao Hui completely confused. He could not have thought that Cao Tiancheng would die, nor did he think that Cao Tiancheng's will actually pass the throne to Cao Yun.
