How could Dugu Jialuo not be shocked and ashamed?

What Tao merchant said was nothing else, but to take her as his concubine!

You know, her true identity is not the palace maids in the palace who can be enjoyed by potters, but Dugu Qiubai's sister and accomplice in assassinating the emperor.

Just a few hours ago, she had just assisted her brother in launching an assassination of Tao Merchant, which almost killed him.

Now, the emperor who attempted to assassinate not only did not plan to kill her, but also developed a "sexual heart" and wanted to take her as a concubine!

This is too unreasonable...

Dugu Jialuo was stunned for a while, and then came to his senses. He closed his hair in his ears with his fingers, suppressed his shame and asked back, "Your Majesty is joking? If you want to take me as your concubine, aren't you afraid that I can take your life with a hairpin in the middle of the night while you are sleeping soundly?"

The pottery laughed.

If he didn't have the plug-in of the system and could not see her loyalty clearly, even if she looked like a fairy, Tao Shang would not dare to share the same bed with her.

Unfortunately, the Tao merchant has long seen her loyalty clearly.

Moreover, her talent for prosperity is enough to protect her from death.

In addition, the Tao merchant is also for the people of the world to show that when those unscrupulous people see the woman who wants to assassinate him, they will eventually surrender to him and become her woman, the spirit of those people will inevitably be deeply stimulated, and they may be discouraged and surrender with peace of mind.

Facing Dugu Jialuo's retort, Tao Shang smiled confidently and said, "Since I have this intention and dare to take you as my concubine, I naturally have absolute confidence. You will definitely not be lazy with me. If you don't believe in yourself, you should believe me."

While speaking, Tao Shang's broad palm had gently touched Dugu Jialua's shy face.

Even though she is extremely courageous, she is just a woman after all. How can she not be ashamed of being touched by a man in such an ambiguous and intimate way?

Not only was she shy, but her heart was also pounding, so nervous that she was breathing rapidly. The Aofeng, which was tightly wrapped in the palace clothes, was about to emerge.

In addition to being shy and nervous, she was more shocked.

Her surprised eyes were obviously deeply shocked, shocking the Emperor of the Great Wei in front of her, and she actually had such incredible courage and incredible confidence, as if she could see through her heart, and everything in the world was under control.

The confidence to control everything also made Dugu Jialuo's heart tremble deeply, and a bone-black chill flashed on his back, and he couldn't help but fight a cold war.

After a while of shyness, she realized that she was being "flirted" by the pottery, and then she turned her face and avoided the pottery's touch.

After taking a few deep breaths, she barely calmed down and snorted coldly: "Even if you have the courage, why are you so confident? I, Dugu Jialuo, will be willing to marry you instead of fighting to the death."

"No reason, I'm so confident!"

The pottery answered firmly and said, "I have time to wait for you to surrender, and I don't have to hurry anyway. It's getting late, so you can go back and rest earlier."

After saying that, Tao Shang didn't bother to talk to her anymore. Instead, he walked out of the hall before her and left with his hands behind his back.

The system elves have already said that as long as she is isolated from Dugu Qiubai, the negative impact she is subjected will sooner or later be gone. The Taoist merchant will naturally have this confidence and wait for her to return to the state of default loyalty to her.

As for making her willing to marry her, it was not difficult. Even once real enemies like Zhurong and Lu Lingji could eventually be conquered by him, let alone a woman who should be loyal to her.

The talent of the prosperous era is determined to win.

"I had heard that the Emperor of the Great Wei was romantic and a arrogant maniac. I didn't expect that he could be so lustful, and even I, an assassin, would not let me go. I was so arrogant that I thought I would surrender to him and be his woman, how could I be so arrogant if I was alone..."

Looking at the figure of Tao Shang's towering figure, Dugu Jialuo's eyes were complicated and he fell into a surging mood.

...

Three days later, the Tao merchant ordered His Royal Highness Jin in Yanjing to set up an army of 200,000 to advance eastward and rushed to Shanhaiguan.

The reason is very simple, because Wu Sangui's lion asked for a big price, and the price was too high.

The Tao merchant’s original intention was to promise to promote Wu Sangui to be promoted to General Anton and then to be promoted to the title of Marquis of the Township. This was already considered his special kindness to Wu Sangui.

Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui had an outrageous appetite and wanted Tao Shang to grant him the title of General of the East and the title of Marquis of the County.

It would be fine if you want an official or a title, but the key is that Wu Sangui also wanted the Tao merchant to issue an order, ordering him to lead his troops to Yongzhen Shanhaiguan.

This is what the pottery can't stand.

Wu Sangui clearly wanted to surrender to the Great Wei in name, and ate the salary given to him by the Great Wei, but in fact he had his own troops and ruled the important towns of Shanhaiguan and continued to be his local emperor.

The pottery merchant can give him a title, and he can barely give him official positions, but it is nothing more than fame and fortune. At that time, he just needs to not give him real power. With the national strength of the Great Wei Dynasty, what's the big deal about raising such an idle person?

The key is that Shanhaiguan and other military areas, connecting Manzhou and Youzhou, are the only places for the Wei Dynasty to conquer Manzhou in the future, and are also the throat-preventing the invasion of Wanyan Aguda. Such important strategic areas, of course, the pottery merchants must send generals loyal to them to guard them, and how can they tolerate Wu Sangui's separatist?

Since Wu Sangui was shameless, the Tao merchant decided not to give him a face and threatened Shanhaiguan with a 200,000 army, forcing Wu Sangui to surrender.

Even if Wu Sangui chose to surrender to Wanyan Aguda, the pottery merchant would do whatever he wanted. At worst, he would be tough and defeat Wu Sangui and Wanyan Aguda directly, and used blood and fire to seize the mountain pass.

Two hundred thousand troops set out of Yanjing, followed Tao Shang, and advanced eastward. Wherever the troops passed, they successively captured Shangyin, Haiyang, Guzhu and other cities that were within the sphere of influence of Wu Sangui and refused to surrender to the Great Wei.

Ten days later, the army of Tao merchants had advanced to a land less than a hundred miles west of Shanhaiguan. Just take down the last "Linyu" city and you can reach Shanhaiguan without any obstacles.

...

Shanhaiguan.

In the dim lobby of Guancheng, Wu Sangui sat high above, holding his forehead with his hands, his face full of gloomy and solemnity, and his worry was written on his face.

The hurried footsteps sounded, and a scout rushed into the lobby. Wu Sangui's neck immediately became straight and his spirits suddenly became tense.

The scout knelt on the ground and shouted in a trembling voice: "Report to General, the magistrate of Guzhu County has opened the city and surrendered to the State of Wei, and the vanguard of the Wei army is approaching Linyu City."

Wu Sangui's body was shocked, and a terrifying look burst out in his eyes. His fists clenched tightly and hit the table hard. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "Damn it, I have known that they are as timid as rats, and they dare not even fight and then open the city to surrender. It's hateful!"

In the lobby, a tense atmosphere suddenly arose, and the deputy generals were all worried and anxious.

"General, it seems that the Emperor of Wei was really angry this time. He actually led 200,000 troops to come. With the strength we have at hand, we can't resist it. It's better to take advantage of the fact that the Emperor of Wei has not yet reached Shanhaiguan and quickly agree to the conditions he offered and surrender."

The next deputy general made a panic and made a fuss, and the other deputy generals nodded and persuaded Wu Sangui to surrender with tactfulness.

Wu Sangui sighed, and his palm kept tapping his forehead lightly, falling into hesitation.

He also knew that his asking price was a bit high, and he offended the Emperor of Wei and caused the Emperor of Wei to come with an army of 200,000.

He was also very clear that even Liu Bei was not a match for the Tao Shang with the power of the entire Han Dynasty. Now, Wu Sangui, with only 5,000 troops and a Shanhaiguan, would definitely not be able to withstand the strong attack of the 200,000 Wei troops.

It seems that there is no choice to surrender to Wei.

At this moment, a scholar with a triangular Hu at the stairs suddenly stood up and said sternly: "Since the Emperor of Wei rejected the conditions offered by the general, he must be furious and was dissatisfied with the general. If the general surrendered to the Emperor of Wei at this time, he would be afraid that if the emperor of Wei will be offered this city and his troops will be collected, the Emperor of Wei will settle the accounts with the general in the autumn. Isn't the general in Jieshi going to the tiger's mouth and a dead end?"

Wu Sangui's body was shocked and suddenly woke up. He was scared and sweated in a cold sweat. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Qin's words are reasonable. I must not surrender to the Emperor of Wei. Surrendering him is like a dead end, but..."

After a change of topic, Wu Sangui said bitterly again: "But if we don't surrender to the Emperor of Wei, we will definitely not be that opponent with only five thousand soldiers and horses. What should we do?"

"This is not simple." Qin Hui smiled coldly and raised his hand to point to the east. "Wanyan Da Shanyu outside the pass has led the Jurchen tribe to unify Manzhou, and the founding of the country is about to become emperor. The powerful lord of the Wanyan Da Shanyu has the intention of swallowing the Central Plains. He has sent people to persuade the general to surrender. If the general can surrender to the Wanyan Da Shanyu and help him open the door to the Central Plains, in the future, Wanyan Da Shanyu will seize the world, and will be a founding hero, with glory and wealth, no ten times more than surrendering to the Wei State!"

Wu Sangui's figure suddenly shook, and an excited light burst out from his eyes, as if he suddenly realized his understanding.
