I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 454 See you tomorrow, Lingling baby

The whole audience was stunned.

Such a straightforward letter made everyone's head buzz.

What the hell? The Emperor wants to surrender? He wants to commit suicide? He wants to remarry the Empress to Prince Lanling?

The sky is falling?

What kind of tiger and wolf words are these?

Is this letter true or false?

Lanling Wang is such a great prince and the commander-in-chief of the Yan army. It is impossible for him to lie, right?

In fact, they all don’t understand Shen Changgong. Shen Changgong never keeps his word with his enemies. He will do anything to succeed.

With Shen Changgong's reputation, he couldn't even scan a shared bicycle.

If you believe what he says, you will help him count the money even if you are sold by him.

Shen Changgong didn't have any letter. He never expected to meet Yu Ziling here. In his arms was just the military newspaper that was delivered to him when he came out. He stuffed it into his arms after reading it.

Then after meeting Yu Ziling, I came up with this play.

After a moment of dead silence on the city wall, Yu Ziling's face flushed with anger as she roared,

"That's fake, Shen Changgong, you despicable villain, you even resorted to such despicable means as spreading rumors, you are so shameless!

Don't believe what he says, he's lying to you!"

Shen Changgong laughed and said,

"Your Majesty, why do you have to deceive yourself? It is common knowledge that you and the Emperor of Qi are not on good terms. Otherwise, why haven't they had a child of yours for so many years?

The Emperor of Qi did indeed write a letter to me, so you must not disbelieve it.

By now, the Emperor of Qi has probably committed suicide.

And you are now my concubine.

We are all one family, so let’s not talk behind each other’s backs.

Don't be stubborn either.

I know that you have always wanted to lead troops to fight. I can make you a promise. As long as you open the city gate and surrender now, I can reorganize the 150,000 troops under your command into an independent legion and let you be the commander-in-chief.

From now on, I will help you realize all your dreams.

This prince is not like the Emperor of Qi, who always suppresses you in every way.

In front of all these brothers, I promise to keep my word. As long as you open the city gates and surrender, I promise to give you military power."

"Shen! Chang! Gong!"

Yu Ziling was so angry that her face turned red and she gritted her teeth.

"You bastard, I will tear you into pieces!"

For some reason, Shen Changgong felt inexplicably happy when he saw the heroic female general gritting her teeth.

It's that feeling that I always want to bully her and tease her.

In the past, he always bullied Gongsun Wan'er like this, which always made him furious. But now Gongsun Wan'er is too docile, like a puppy, so there is no point in getting angry with her.

Shen Changgong laughed loudly and said,

"Your Majesty, when two armies clash, casualties are inevitable, and this is something I really don't want to see.

How about I propose a peaceful solution that can decide the outcome without anyone dying?"

"Would you be so kind?"

Yu Ziling snorted coldly.

"Of course, this king is kind and compassionate, and naturally does not want to see lives destroyed.

Let me put it this way, I heard that the Queen has been skilled in martial arts since she was a child and is proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons.

Coincidentally, I also know some rough fighting skills.

You are the commander-in-chief of the Qi army, and I am the commander-in-chief of the Yan army, so it is fair.

Why don't you and I have a fight, a fair one-on-one duel.

If I lose, I will immediately lead my troops back to Yan State.

If you lose, how about you surrender and open the city gates to let our army in?"

After hearing this, many people on the city wall scolded Shen Changgong for being shameless, saying that a man could hit a woman and he had the nerve to say so.

However, Yu Ziling above remained silent. She actually considered the feasibility of this matter.

She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and even ten guards cannot beat her. Shen Changgong looks like he has thin arms and legs, so he shouldn't be that powerful, right?

If we can defeat him and force him to withdraw with the Yan army, then this will be the only way to save Linzi.

I just don’t know if he will really keep his promise and what his credibility is like?

Uh...Shen Changgong's reputation...

No, Yu Ziling’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

She remembered an important piece of information.

Shen Changgong once competed in a martial arts conference in the State of Yan and won first place, earning the title of the best martial artist in Great Yan.

Especially some time ago, the King of Qi sent the most elite assassins of Qi to launch a surprise attack and assassinate Shen Changgong, but Shen Changgong killed a group of them alone.

This person is a master.

Almost as good as me!

Yu Ziling understood.

She would never challenge Shen Changgong in a duel. If she lost, she would have to surrender without a fight and would not be able to buy time for the South.

Shen Changgong can afford to lose. At worst, he can break his promise and continue to attack the city. But she can't afford to lose.

But...

Yu Ziling put on a playful smile and said,

"Okay, I promise you, as long as you can defeat me, I will lead my army to surrender and serve you."

Shen Changgong was stunned when he heard this. Huh? She agreed so easily? Is this woman crazy?

"Well, your Majesty is truly understanding and righteous. I admire you!"

However, the next second, Yu Ziling said,

"We have a martial arts arena in our city. Please, Your Highness, Prince Lanling, come in and let's have a duel."

Shen Changgong stopped smiling.

This woman doesn't look like a good person. She doesn't look very smart, but she is actually full of bad intentions.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. The whole city is your territory. If I go there, wouldn't I be walking into a tiger's mouth?

How about you, Your Majesty, come down and we can compete at the city gate? From here, we have a clear view. We don't have a large army, so you can see everything clearly."

Yu Ziling sneered,

"Oh? The world-renowned Lanling Prince is actually a coward, isn't he? You keep saying you want to challenge me in a duel, but you don't dare to come. Aren't you going to become a laughingstock?"

"It's okay to be a laughing stock, but my life is more important. If Your Majesty doesn't keep her promise, I'll be dead, right?

Come down, and I will fight you."

"you come up!"

"get down!"

Yu Ziling narrowed her eyes, murderous intent in her eyes.

Shen Changgong laughed and said,

"I didn't expect that the Queen likes to be on top. It really has a unique flavor."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone behind Shen Changgong laughed, and some veteran Qi soldiers on the city wall couldn't help laughing.

Yu Ziling didn't understand what this meant.

But looking at those obscene smiles below, I feel like I'm being teased.

"Shen Changgong! Lecher, I will tear your mouth apart!"

"If your majesty wishes to tear me apart verbally, I welcome it. Since your majesty is unwilling to fight me in single combat, then let's see who's the winner. I bid you farewell!"

Shen Changgong and others rode their horses back.

As he walked away, Shen Changgong waved goodbye and shouted,

"Brothers of the Qi army on the city wall, please protect my concubine and make sure she doesn't get hurt by the chaotic army."

"See you tomorrow, Lingling baby!"
