Chapter 321: City Fall

Your Majesty, those people may have been in high and mighty positions for too long and do not take the lives of the people seriously enough. They have forgotten that pushing people too far will only backfire.
How could Huandu today withstand any more turmoil?
The emperor of the Great Zhou had already placed spies among the disaster victims. They seemed to be behaving themselves now, but in fact they were like haystacks. A slight spark could completely ignite the chaotic situation in Huandu City. As a general, Huo Rong could naturally see it clearly.
Huo Rong was sincere and earnest, and he gritted his teeth and submitted petitions many times, and finally… he managed to attract the envoy.
Probably because the Great Zhou army was approaching along the way, Huo Rong met one envoy after another regarding peace talks, so Huo Rong did not take it seriously at first, and even argued with the envoys sent by His Majesty, hoping to impress His Majesty and make him give up the idea. However, Huo Rong did not notice that although the leading envoy agreed on the surface, the coldness in his eyes grew deeper and deeper.

“…Luan Qingjian.” “The one following the envoy is Guo Tong?”
