Jayabamo and Roshini returned back a few hours after leaving the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods.
When they came back, the sky had not yet turned dark.
When Jayabamo and Roshini returned, they did not bring the previous team of guards, but a group of people who were full of nobility.
These are the people who are truly in power in Chenla Kingdom today.
But at this moment, they lost their usual arrogance. Instead, they tied their hands like prisoners under the stairs.
Zhenla was deeply influenced by the culture of Xia Dynasty, so he was naturally very familiar with the allusion of "bearing a thorn to plead guilty".
So at this moment, this group of dignitaries from the Zhenla Kingdom are imitating the "bearing a thorn to plead guilty", tying themselves up and coming to cheer Qin Shaoyou... ah, they are asking for forgiveness.
In order to get some lenient treatment.
There's no way they can't do it.
The advancing speed of the Xia Kingdom's border troops exceeded the expectations of the powerful officials of the Zhenla Kingdom. The latest news is that the Xia Kingdom's army has crossed the border and entered the territory of the Zhenla Kingdom.
The Xia army was galloping all the way, and no one could stop them. They had no intention of stopping. The troops were heading straight towards the capital of Xianla Kingdom, and they showed a posture of destroying the city and destroying the country.
The remnant soldiers who escaped from the Zhenla Kingdom and a few temporary local garrison troops could not withstand this group of Xia Kingdom's frontier troops who were full of anger and wanted to make achievements and become marquises and generals!
Originally, these dignitaries of Zhenla Kingdom wanted to test the situation of Qin Shaoyou and others.
If these people are not strong enough, their numbers are small, or they suffer heavy casualties in the battle with the Ten Thousand Gods Cave, they can mobilize all the forces in their hands to attack.
As long as Qin Shaoyou, the governor of the Xia Kingdom's Anti-Security Factory and the uncle of the Xia Kingdom Emperor, could be captured and used as a hostage, he would be able to force the Xia Kingdom's border troops to retreat.
However, after Jayabamo and Roshini visited the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods, they brought back bad news to the Chenla dignitaries.
The strength of Qin Shaoyou and his group is beyond imagination.
Especially around him, there are gods such as the City God, the Mountain God, and the Water Boy to help him.
With the remaining power of the Zhenla dignitaries, trying to capture Qin Shaoyou and others is no different from an idiot's dream.
This made the powerful officials in Chenla afraid to take action.
They were afraid that if they lost the bet and allowed Qin Shaoyou and others to break out and escape, they would trigger even more violent revenge from the Xia Kingdom!
At that time, the Nine Yi Clan will really destroy their ancestral hall!
In comparison, although surrendering would also destroy the country, at least they would be able to survive and the family temple would not be destroyed.
Moreover, according to the habits of the Xia people, it is very likely that the Zhenla Kingdom will be retained for a period of time, and then the country will be annexed after the customs are completely changed.
After all, as a big country, everything must be justified.
The time for this annexation may be several years or decades.
Although at this time, the Zhenla Kingdom existed in name only.
But as long as the name remains, that's enough.
They can find someone to take the blame. After Chenla is expelled from the country, they will not be the kings and ministers recorded in the history books.
And if they surrender now, the Chenla royal family can still get the title of Marquis of Anle.
Although he no longer has power, it is still acceptable to be able to enjoy wealth and status.
As for these ministers of Zhenla Kingdom, they might still be able to serve as officials.
Even if you can't be the chief officer, it is still feasible to be a deputy to the Xia people and an assistant officer.
After all, even if the Xia people want to send officials to Zhenla, they have to rely on local snakes like them for assistance, right?
Since I can continue to serve as an official, what is the difference between serving as an official for the Zhenla Kingdom and serving as an official for the Xia Kingdom?
No, there is still a difference.
The upper limit for being an official in the Zhenla Kingdom is not as high as that of being an official in the Xia Kingdom!
After surrendering to the Xia Kingdom, as long as his performance is good enough and his ability is high enough, he may not be able to control a state in the future.
Even if you enter the center of Xia Kingdom and wear red and purple, you can expect something.
By that time, their status and power will be higher than that of the ruler of Zhenla!
As the saying goes, when I think of Touxia, I instantly feel that the world is vast.
Chenla's ministers, after understanding that surrendering would not result in great losses and even a better future, were naturally unwilling to accompany the Chenla royal family to death.
However, the leader of the Zhenla Kingdom and the ministers who were loyal to him either died in the rebel army or were dispersed by the rebel army, and they have not yet escaped back to the Zhenla Kingdom.
Among the princes of Chenla, the eldest prince who was responsible for supervising the country had some reputation and power, but at this time, he could not resist the ministers who were determined to surrender.
Even if the eldest prince dares to jump out and say that he will fight to the death, the ministers around him will take him down and guard him like a madman on the grounds that "the prince is mad with grief".
Faced with such external and internal troubles, the eldest prince of Zhenla Kingdom had no way to save himself. He could only sigh and said, "Zhenla is going to die this day." Then he obediently tied himself up and went with the middle school
The important ministers came together to the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods to apologize.
As for the information and people Qin Shaoyou wanted, they did not dare to mess with them. They brought them all over now and waited for Qin Shaoyou's questions.
Although these information and people involve the gods in the blood moon.
But those gods were all killed by the Xia people, and it was said that they were thrown into a pot for cooking...
How could mortals like them dare to confront the God Eater?
And they also guessed that Qin Shaoyou must have sent someone to monitor him secretly, and they didn't dare to mess around.
At this moment, the group of people from Zhenla Kingdom had just entered the Cave of the Ten Thousand Gods. Before they saw Qin Shaoyou, they were shocked by the strange scene in front of them.
I saw three stalls set up on the ruins of the Ten Thousand Gods Cave, with a person sitting behind each stall and several subordinates of humans, ghosts, or demons standing there.
But what was wandering in front of these three stalls was not a living being.
But a group of dead souls.
Some people have dead souls, and some have ghosts.
Those three stalls were not selling anything, but seemed to be recruiting workers. When they saw this group of Zhenla people coming, they did not shy away. They enthusiastically pulled the dead souls and invited:
"Come to my Shuifu. Now that I have been promoted to Yizhou Shuibo, the manpower gap in the Shuifu has become larger again.
After you arrive, there will be a lot of job selection.
Now the people of Yizhou also offer a lot of incense to me. I am a generous person. As long as you have a breath of incense from me, you will be indispensable.
In addition, there are many vacancies for Shui Bo and River God in Yizhou. As long as you do well, there are plenty of opportunities for promotion..."
"City God's Temple is recruiting some bad guys. Come to us. If someone in your family dies in the future, you can help take care of them."
"I don't have anything else here, but there are enough bamboos. If you like to eat bamboo shoots, you are welcome to come to my place and try it..."
In addition to these three "recruitment" booths, there is also a half-human, half-turtle spirit, jumping around angrily:
"These are the spirits of our South China Sea Dragon Palace. Even if they die, they should be transferred to our South China Sea Dragon Palace as water ghosts and yakshas. Why did you snatch them away?"
Hey, what are you, a mountain god, doing to steal the dead souls of my sea tribe? How can there still be a sea on your mountain?!"
