The hall was so quiet that it was scary. The ministers of Mahan were pale and silent; the horse king Ma Ben paced back and forth, with deep brows; even the general Han Yan, who had always advocated a bloody battle with the Qin army, remained silent and looked worried.

An imperial guard officer rushed to the hall and felt the dull atmosphere in the hall. He couldn't help but feel nervous. The officer came to the center of the hall and knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, the Qin army's envoy has arrived!"

The Mabian and the ministers were shocked, "Hurry, please!" The Mabian said hurriedly. The officer replied and immediately retreated.

Ma Ban and the old ministers Ma Wentuo and Han Yan on the side, the latter frowned and said nothing.

A moment later, a Qin general in black armor came down to the hall under the guidance of the imperial guard officer. Everyone felt a sense of arrogance from him, but no one expressed dissatisfaction.

The Qin general came to the hall, clasped his fists at the horse barbarian sitting high on the throne, and said proudly: "The Qin army envoy Li Tie has seen Master Ma Han!"

"Bold! He dared not kneel when he saw His Majesty in our country!" Han Yan suddenly shouted angrily.

Li Tie glanced at Han Yan who was angry and said calmly: "The small foreign country actually calls His Majesty, it's simply ignorant!"

"You are arrogant!" Han Yan shouted angrily, and the long sword was unsheathed. As a cold light flashed, the sharp blade was mounted on Li Tie's neck. "Kneel down! Otherwise, I'll tell you to fall to the ground!" Han Yan shouted in murderous spirit. At this time, the ministers in the hall were in chaos, cheering and worried, but the old ministers Ma Wentuo and Ma Hanzhu did not say anything, and looked at the scene in front of him with a gloomy face.

Li Tie suddenly laughed, glanced at Han Yan, who was murderous intent beside him, and sang: "Why did you lose thousands of miles on the battlefield, but you want to find face here, kill me! Let's see if I will frown!"

Han Yan was furious and immediately wanted to chop off the matter with one knife. At this moment, the horse barbarian spoke, "General, retreat!"

Han Yan suppressed his anger, turned his sword into the shell, snorted heavily, took a step back, and then looked at Li Tie who was so close to him with murderous aura.

The horse barge asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter with you?"

Li Tie said calmly: "I'm here to tell you one thing! Open the city and surrender immediately! Otherwise, there will be no armor left!"

"Random!!" Han Yan shouted angrily, unsheathed the knife, and then put the knife on Li Tie's neck. Li Tie said contemptuously: "It's just the defeated general under our army, but he is barking like a dog!"

Han Yan was furious. "Enough! Go back!" Ma Ben shouted coldly.

Feeling the anger of the horseman, Han Yan couldn't help but feel a snort, and retreated aside.

The horseman coldly said to Li Tiedao: "You are too arrogant! My king still has an army of 50,000! No matter how strong the Qin army is, it will have to pay a heavy price to conquer!"

Li Tie looked at Ma Ben coldly and said calmly: "Since that's the case, there is nothing to say over there! Say goodbye!" Yu Luo turned around and walked outside.

Seeing this, the horseman and the ministers couldn't help but get confused. They didn't expect that the other party was so straightforward.

"Please wait!" the horse barge shouted quickly.

Li Tie stopped, turned around, and said calmly: "If the country's main life is my life, just take it!"

The horseman was stunned and hurriedly said, "The envoy is so serious! This matter is of great importance. I would like to ask the envoy to give me three days to discuss with the city!"

"No!"

The horse barge and the ministers in the hall were shocked.

Li Tie took two steps forward and said firmly: "What I just said was not the negotiation content, but the ultimatum! If Mahan did not open the city and surrender before dark, our army would flatten the capital!"

"You!" Ma Ben pointed at Li Tie and said angrily. However, when he saw the other person's eyes, he couldn't help but burst into a state of momentum, and his voice softened: "You have to let me discuss it for a while!" There was a slight pleading voice in his tone.

Li Tie did not persist this time and said coldly: "I'll only wait for half an hour!" Yu Luo turned around and left the hall.

"Your Majesty, this person is so arrogant, so I will kill him and then fight to the death with the Qin army!" Han Yan asked for instructions with an angry look on his face.

The horseman looked at Han Yan coldly, "If the general can really defeat the Qin army! Why is the situation in our country so much?"

When Han Yan heard the king say this, he was stunned, and the ministers were also talking. It was obvious that most of the ministers were very dissatisfied with Han Yan, the general.

Ma Bian ignored Han Yan and asked the old minister Ma Wentuo, "Old minister, what should we do now?" Ma Bian looked very frightened.

Ma Wentuo thought for a moment, sighed, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister wants to ask you whether you want to break up with the royal city, or do you want the Mahan royal family to continue." The hall became quiet, and everyone looked at Ma Ben anxiously with one mind or another.

Ma Bian was stunned and asked blankly, "Is there no other choice?" Suddenly, his heart moved, "Old minister, maybe Goguryeo, Ross can turn around the current situation."

Ma Wentuo smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Your Majesty, based on the current situation and the information we have received, Ross has no intention of sending troops this time. They should have been tied up by the west side of the west side of the west! And Goguryeo, the western part of Goguryeo, the eastern territory has been completely lost, the main force has lost half, and the rest are trapped in the lonely city of Marudu. The Emperor of the Qin Dynasty personally led 200,000 elite troops to surround Marudu. Goguryeo cannot protect itself!"

The horse bare sat down dejectedly and asked in a daze: "Is the end of our Mahan coming? Maybe we can completely express our surrender to the Qin Dynasty."

Ma Wentuo smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Your Majesty, if we were like this before the war started, maybe we could do it! However, now the Qin army is in control of the universe, and we have no possibility of going the second path at all!"

"Ma Wentuo, do you mean we should go out of the city to surrender?" Han Yan asked angrily. Although he had already felt the eyes of all the enemies, he would never see the scene of kneeling and surrendering.

Ma Wentuo glanced at Han Yan and said calmly: "The General misunderstood my meaning!" Then he clasped his fists at Ma Ben and said: "If Your Majesty is determined to break up with Wang Du, I, Ma Wentuo, will not live in vain!"

Han Yan looked at the horse barb, knelt down on one knee, and said with hope: "Your Majesty~~"

The horse barbarian was very hesitant. He was very angry and uncomfortable when he asked him to surrender to the Qin Dynasty. He was also unwilling to die of sleep in this hopeless city.

~~~~~~

Half an hour later, Li Tie returned to the hall and felt a tragic atmosphere. He couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Mahan is determined to fight to the death with me, Daqin! That's good, let all those who dare to rebel tremble under the Qin army's troops!" As soon as he thought of this, Li Tie couldn't help but exude a momentum of moving forward.

"Master, tell me your decision!" Li Tie said calmly with his fists.

The horse barbarian said coldly: "If our army resists with all its might, no matter how strong the Qin army is, it will definitely pay a heavy price!"

Li Tie laughed and said heroically: "The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty are not afraid of life and death! Death in the battlefield is the destination that every warrior longs for. When that day comes, the heroic souls of the warriors will be immortal in the Hero Soul Temple!"

Ma Ben and the ministers couldn't help but feel a little scared. Ma Ben was silent for a moment, stood up, and said, "I, the 13th generation of Ma Han, are willing to surrender to the Qin Dynasty on behalf of Ma Han's subjects!" His tone seemed very helpless.

Li Tie was stunned, then clasped his fists and said, "Since that's the case, then our army will wait outside the city!" Yu Luo, then turned around and walked out of the hall.

As soon as Li Tie left, several main war sects led by Han Yan knelt down immediately and advised him sadly: "Your Majesty, why should we endure humiliation and live a life of silence? It's better to die in a fierce battle!"

Ma Ben frowned and said in a deep voice: "I have decided, you don't have to persuade me anymore! I can't put the whole city's military and civilians in a place of irreparable consequences for the honor and disgrace of one person! If you send the order, open the southern city gate immediately, and the ministers and all the soldiers in the court will follow me out of the city and beg for surrender!"
