At this time, the civil and military officials and their families on the steps, all of them were focused on Wu Rong and Bai Xiu.

Everyone understands that at this moment, these two people carry all their hopes.

Just as Yao Chong arranged it inside, the imperial guards outside also changed a lot.

Xie Chengwen personally led a team outside the Zhuque Gate.

Qianhu He Chuan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I have met the commander."

Looking at the two corpses lying on the ground, Xie Chengwen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"Who did it?"

"Hundred Riders, Wu Rong."

He Chuan answered carefully.

Xie Chengwen's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Let me be careful, don't let anyone go in and out. I will starve them to death and sleep them to death."

Xie Chengwen suddenly roared.

In early winter, the night comes quickly.

It gives people the feeling that it is just a trance, and the sun has already set and the moon has risen.

The sudden cold wind, the blowing lanterns sway in the wind.

Some people who were dressed in thin clothes couldn't help but wrap their clothes tightly.

A few cold winds passed through the gaps in the windows, and the candlelight on the dragon table swayed.

Xuanzong sat on the dragon throne without saying a word.

It's been at least half an hour.

Even the food served by Gao Lishi didn't even look at it.

He knew very well that if he was surrounded here like this, the food in the palace would be exhausted within three or five days.

He dare not think about what will happen then.

Seeing the cold wind blowing in, Gao Lishi took a cloak, came forward, and gently put it on Xuanzong.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body."

Xuanzong seemed to be alert and sighed slightly, "If the country is not here, what's the use of taking care of the body?"

"I think I'd better ask you all your opinions, maybe..." He said half of the words and left half, just to test the attitude of Xuanzong.

Xuanzong nodded, "You go and find Yao Chong, Miao Qi, Wu Rong, and Shen Buyi."

At this time, outside the hall.

Yao Chong called Wu Rong and Shen Buyi together early and expressed the same concerns.

After all, food is limited, and so many people can eat at once, the consumption is really amazing.

According to the eunuch in the palace, after a meal tonight, more than 20% of the vegetables stored in the palace were eaten.

After hearing Yao Chong's words, Wu Rong nodded, "What the Prime Minister said is that now, instead of waiting for death, it is better to fight to the death and protect the emperor from breaking out."

Yao Chong nodded, "Yes, the only hope now is to break out and mobilize all kinds of people to quell the rebellion."

I paused, but couldn't help but sigh.

"But it's not easy to break through, there are 100,000 imperial guards outside."

Wu Rong couldn't help but sigh softly, "It's more than 100,000, there are Qingzhou Army and Langya Army outside the city."

Shen Buyi was not as pessimistic as the two of them. He whispered: "There is still a solution."

A word immediately made Yao Chong stare at him.

A glimmer of hope flashed.

At this moment, Gao Lishi hurried over.

He shouted repeatedly, "Prime Minister Yao, Lord Wu, Lord Shen, the emperor says you will come into the palace and answer."

Yao Chong looked at Wu Rong, then looked at Shen Buyi, and hesitated for a moment.

"Three, let's go, don't let the emperor wait in a hurry."

Seeing that the three of them did not take action, Gao Lishi couldn't help but urge him.

Yao Chong originally wanted to ask Shen Buyi what exactly he could do, but it was obvious that Gao Lishi repeatedly urged him and followed him in.

Immediately afterwards, Miaoqi arrived.

Seeing that the four people were about to salute, Xuanzong waved his hand.

"Forget it, for nothing, in extraordinary times, red tape will be spared."

After saying that, Xuanzong changed his mind and asked again: "My dear friends, what are the best strategies?"

When he heard this topic, Miao Qi subconsciously shrank his neck back. He really couldn't think of such a thing.

Let's listen to their opinions first.

However, Yao Chong, quite responsible, stepped forward and said, "Emperor, the old minister thinks that breaking through the city is the most urgent task."

When Miao Qi heard that he was going to break through, he became anxious.

"This is a bad statement. The old minister thinks that the inner palace walls are high and the city is hard, easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it is safer to stay."

"Oh, Aiqing Miao, why did you say this?"

Xuanzong turned his face and looked at Miao Qi and asked anxiously.

Chen Buyi understood a little when he saw this scene. It seemed that Xuanzong also had this plan.

"Emperor, Xie Chengwen has 100,000 Imperial Guards outside, and we are only a few. Besides, there are 60,000 Qingzhou troops and Langya troops outside the city. Even if we can break through, we are afraid that we will be caught up if we don't go far."

"Therefore, the old minister thinks that sending some capable people to rush out and dispatch troops from all over the country is the best strategy."

After saying this, Xuanzong nodded repeatedly.

Turning his face to look at Yao Chong.

Yao Chong said with a serious look on his face, "Your Majesty, the food storage in the inner palace is limited. Now that so many people are squeezed in, I'm afraid it won't last a few days."

If you have no food for several consecutive days, you may be out of place by then."

After saying this, Xuanzong's face turned slightly red, as if his little thoughts had been exposed.

"Besides, Chen Buyi just told the old minister that he already had a way to break through."

After Yao Chong finished speaking, his eyes looking for help were looking at Chen Buyi.

I'm going to be Prime Minister Yao, I really want to greet your family.

I just said that there will always be a solution, and you will put the blame on me.

In desperation, Chen Buyi had to come out to salute, "Your Majesty, I have an idea, but it is not perfect. Please allow me to discuss with Lord Wu before reporting."

After saying that, he turned to Wu Rong, "Mr. Wu, please climb up the city wall with me and see what the enemy situation outside is. Are you willing?"

Not only was Wu Rong not angry, but was happy in his heart. He remembered the last time he rescued Princess Zhaoning, this was the opportunity to show his face and give him a chance to make contributions.

"Okay, Lord Shen, I'm willing to accompany you."

The two bowed and left the hall.

"Brother Chen, what are your opinions?"

As soon as he came out, Wu Rong couldn't help asking.

Chen Buyi smiled bitterly.

"No high opinion, just breaking through."

I.

Wu Rong's face, which was originally quite normal, couldn't help but tighten.

"But," Chen Buyi smiled casually, "No, we must succeed, not fail."

While talking, the two came to Zhuque's sect.

Follow the ladder and climb up the city wall.

But outside, layers of imperial guards were blocked from the inner palace.

Looking around, the lanterns and torches on Zhuque Street were endless and there was no end to see.

"Brother Chen, with my skills, I am confident that I can rush out, but if I bring the emperor and so many officials, I'm afraid I can't do anything."
