6 min read1,447 words
It has been a month since Chu Pu rushed back to Yongding City non-stop.
In the meeting hall of the capital, she stated the treaty signed by the two
parties and her decision in front of all the high-level officials. There was
an uproar in the hall for a while, and no one expected that the Privy Council,
which had lasted for hundreds of years, would collapse after the collapse of
the hall.
"Master Yuheng, please think again!"
"Just surrender like this, have you ever thought about what will happen to us,
and what will happen to the people of Xu country?"
"Think twice, I think she was simply bewitched by Qi Guo!"
"I said at the time that the Yuheng envoy cannot be inherited by such a young
doll!"
There were all kinds of voices in the lobby, many of which directly attacked
Chu Pu himself.
On the contrary, several older seven-star envoys remained silent.
"I have reached an agreement with Qiguo that I will not pursue your war
responsibilities afterwards, and I am the only one who needs to be responsible
for this." Facing doubts, Chu Pu did not care at all, "As for the common
people, you really have Have you ever taken it to heart? At least you don't
have to worry about food and clothing in the Privy House, and you don't have
to worry about being wiped on your neck by robbers and bandits! Have you ever
walked out of Yongding City to see what the towns and countryside look like
outside? There are even a lot of them. The local people need to rely on the
relief food of the Apocalypse Army to survive! Ending this war is the right
choice for them!"
"There is no need to discuss this matter. I have already issued a letter of
surrender to the commander of the Apocalypse Army. After three days, the war
will officially cease, and Yongding City will be handed over to the other
side. Anyone who disagrees can stand up now, since you want to continue
fighting. , I can immediately throw you to the front line of Meihua Town and
Yinjiang, and compete with the Apocalypse Army!"
Everyone closed their mouths immediately.
As an envoy of Yuheng, Chu Pu still lacks in prestige. Now, whether it is Yuyi
or Qingjian, few can guarantee to beat this young girl, and in the Privy
House, ability is the greatest qualification. Once the opponent moves the real
thing, the opponent may really be tied to the front line.
Everyone knows that there will be no life-threatening disputes within the
Privy Council, but fighting against the Apocalypse Army is hard to say.
"After the closure of the Privy Council, you don't have to worry that your
ideals will come to nothing, although I don't know how many of you still take
it to heart." Chu Pu looked around at everyone, "I went to Qiguo this time,
and the biggest gain is that I understand one point. Some people are ahead of
us in all aspects. Not only have they achieved many of the goals set by the
Privy Council, but some of them have been greatly exceeded. Therefore,
colleagues who want to use alchemy to benefit the world can continue to strive
for this goal, but it is just a change It's just a place."
"Change...a place?"
"That's right, since there will always be a party that will unite the six
countries and reproduce the splendor of the alchemist again, then the leader
is not the Privy Council, and it can only be said to be a little regretful,
not something that needs to be buried with him. The Privy Council is gone, you
are still the same. Alchemist, still able to function in his new position."
"In addition, I hope everyone understands that what is not obtained in the war
cannot be expected to be obtained in the negotiation. We really cannot win
this war, so it is the wisest choice to stop here." Chu Pu said this and bowed
his head. , bowed to everyone, "Finally, thank you for your support to the
Privy Council."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left the conference hall in full
view.
Soon after returning to his main hall, there was a report from the guard,
"Heaven's right to ask the Lord to see you."
Chu Pu nodded, "Please come in."
Soon, the power of heaven sent Goldman Sachs into the hall and bowed his hands
to her.
"Master Gao, are you here to persuade me?"
"No, I'm here to bid you farewell." Goldman Sachs took off his official hat,
"In fact, I support any decision you make. If you are determined to fight to
the end, I will stick to Yongding City to the end; if you choose to surrender,
I will I will also gladly accept it. It's just that I am old and can no longer
be like the younger generation. It is more suitable for you to continue to
work hard in the front line of the new era. "
Chu Pu couldn't help being a little silent, although she knew that this was
something that would happen sooner or later when the Privy Council was
dissolved, "Actually...you should be the one leading the Privy Council."
Since fighting Qiguo all the way up to now, the seven-star envoys have changed
their positions, and their strength has long since declined. Even a strong
person like Luo Yunzheng, the envoy of Kaiyang, could not even recover the
inheritance due to his death on Xima Island, so the next envoy of Kaiyang
could only inherit other fairy techniques.
Goldman Sachs is not only one of the few seven-star envoys who survived, but
also the envoy of Tianquan was second only to the envoy Yuheng in terms of the
right to speak. Therefore, after the death of the envoy Yuheng, there were
many voices in the Privy Council supporting Goldman Sachs. But he insisted on
holding an inheritance ceremony for Chu Pu at that time, and pushed the new
Yuheng envoy to the throne.
"Do you want to know why I chose you?" Goldman Sachs said suddenly.
"I don't know." This is also a question that has always puzzled Chu Pu.
"Because I'm afraid."
Yuheng was stunned.
Fear? This is by no means a word that should be associated with an envoy. He
faced the fierce attacks of the Tianqi Army many times on the battlefield, and
led his troops to repel the attack of the Xuanwu Army under the command of
Ning Wanjun.
"I'm afraid that the responsibility for the destruction of the Privy Council
will fall on myself, so I put you on the throne." He smiled bitterly, "The
Privy Council is destined to be written into history regardless of its rise
and fall, and I don't want myself to be the footnote of failure. In fact, I
was actually relieved when you said the decision to disband."
This was the first time Chu Pu heard this statement.
"Did you... at that time... did you think the Privy Council would be
defeated?"
"To be honest, it will be earlier." Goldman Sachs shook his head, "When Gong
Shuwang died in Shangyuan City, I was shocked that this was not an ordinary
war. It followed the past to eradicate the dynasty. Tang is very different
from the royal army. In terms of intelligence and shrewdness, few people can
compare to the old lady of the loser, and it was my fault that I didn’t pay
attention to her attitude towards Jinxia at that time.”
"So...that's the case." Chu Pu murmured, "Then what are your plans in the
future?"
"Of course, like all the officials who have made official appointments, you
will retreat to the mountains and forests and spend the rest of your life in
peace." The envoy of power once again handed over, "Although you are young,
you are more suitable for commanding the Seven Stars than most alchemists. I
finally did not see the wrong person this time. "
Chu Pu did not hold back.
Leaving may not be a good choice.
"By the way, I have to remind you." Goldman Sachs suddenly stopped when he
walked to the door, "Although everyone knows that victory is hopeless, it does
not mean that they all agree to end the war, especially those who have
profited greatly from the war. people. One more day in the war, the more
benefits they can get. Be careful, these people won't give up easily."
"Thank you." Chu Pu replied calmly.
Seeing her so sullen, the envoy of power stopped talking and walked out of the
hall.
