Everyone also frowned. Just like Zhao Hai said, it was getting late now. Ordinarily, even if they wanted to attack them, they would have to wait until daytime to build the pontoon bridge. It would be too dangerous to build the pontoon bridge at this time.
But now the other party is so blatantly building a pontoon bridge there. This is really confusing. I wonder what those guys are thinking.
After a while, Chen Yonghe said: "Your Majesty, I think we should leave them alone. Even if they build the pontoon bridge tonight and build it well, they will not be able to attack us. We only need to let people guard the camp.
That's all. We have been marching for a day today, and we should let the sergeants have a good rest."
Zhao Hai thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, let the sergeants rest and guard the camp. Everyone, go and have a rest. If you have anything else, we will talk about it tomorrow." Everyone responded, then turned and left.
Zhao Hai also returned to the big tent. After making some arrangements, he went back to rest. Early the next morning, Zhao Hai got up early. After washing, while having breakfast, Shi Zhui came to the big tent and rushed to the big tent.
Zhao Hai cupped his fists and said, "Master, those guys really built the pontoon bridge overnight. What do you think we should do?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said in a deep voice: "Secure the camp first. I really want to see what they want. If they really want to attack us, we will first demolish their pontoon bridge.
"Shi Chui responded, turned around and left.
However, he came back not long after he left. He looked at Zhao Hai with a strange expression and said, "Master, there are a few guys outside the camp gate. They said they are representatives of the army on the other side."
Zhao Hai was stunned and said in confusion: "Representatives of the army on the other side? Is that what they said?"
Shi Chui nodded and said, "Yes, the leaders are Wu Kong-level masters, but they don't have weapons or armor. I don't know where they come from."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "How many people are there in total?"
Shi Chui said in a deep voice: "There are five people in total, and they are the only five. And although the pontoon bridge has been built, there is no army on the opposite side of the pontoon bridge. If we send troops now, we can occupy the pontoon bridge immediately."
Zhao Hai was even more stunned. He looked at Shi Chui and said: "This is interesting. What do these guys want to do? No matter what they want to do. Five Wu Kong-level masters can't make any trouble, so invite them in.
Come on, don't lose your etiquette." Shi Chui responded, turned around and left. Zhao Hai waved his hand and asked someone to put the breakfast away. He sat in the big tent and quietly waited for the other party's arrival.
After a while, the voice of a stone hammer came from outside the big tent: "Master, they are here."
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "Let them come in." Shi Chui responded, opened the tent door, and let those people into the tent.
Zhao Hai sat in the big tent and looked at these Wu Kong-level masters. They had no characteristics at all. They were wearing warrior uniforms and did not carry weapons. The one at the front was about 1.8 meters tall and had
He is in his forties, has a very beautiful mustache, and looks gentle and elegant.
The other people were all around thirty years old, and they were all Wu Kong level. They all had their own characteristics, but Zhao Hai only glanced at them, and then focused on the leading man.
And those Wu Kong-level masters were also looking at Zhao Hai. Although Zhao Hai was sitting there, his figure was still as tall as an adult man, and his overall popularity was extraordinary, and he was as calm as a mountain. He gave people a great impression.
pressure.
Zhao Hai looked at those people and said, "I heard that you are here on behalf of the opposite army? I don't know why you are here?" With Zhao Hai's identity, there is no need to be polite to these people now.
So I asked directly.
As soon as those few people heard what Zhao Hai said, the leader immediately raised his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, "I, Chang Yulong, have met His Majesty the King of the Ecstasy Empire."
When Zhao Hai heard what he said, he couldn't help being stunned, and then his eyes flashed and he said: "The Chang family of Leiyun City, haha, this is a bit interesting. The Chang family is the largest family in Leiyun City besides the city lord's family.
Family, and you, Chang Yulong, are the head of the Chang family. The family of the city lords of Leiyun City State have already gone to the Holy Courtyard. Now Leiyun City State is controlled by people sent by the Holy Courtyard, but you come at this time.
When you arrive at my camp, it’s interesting. Tell me, why are you here?”
Chang Yulong really didn't expect that Zhao Hai revealed his identity with just one mouth, which made him stunned. Then he was shocked and found that Zhao Hai was really powerful. He even knew his details. He immediately said: "This
We came here once to surrender to His Majesty Zhao Hai, and I hope His Majesty Zhao Hai can accept our surrender."
When Zhao Hai heard what Chang Yulong said, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then he turned to look at Chang Yulong and said, "Chang Family Master, are you serious about what you said? Are you really going to surrender to me?"
Chang Yulong said solemnly: "It's not that I want to surrender to His Majesty Zhao Hai, but that all our troops must surrender to His Majesty Zhao Hai. The millions of troops must surrender to His Majesty Zhao Hai."
When Zhao Hai heard what Chang Yulong said, he was stunned. Then he looked at Chang Yulong with some confusion and said, "Can the head of the Chang family represent that million-strong army?"
Chang Yulong said solemnly: "Yes, I was elected by the army to see His Majesty Zhao Hai. We don't want to be enemies of His Majesty Zhao Hai, so the sergeants voluntarily recommended me to see His Majesty Zhao Hai. I hope
To surrender to His Majesty Zhao Hai, in order to show our sincerity, we built a pontoon bridge and waited for His Majesty to send his army across the river."
Zhao Hai looked at Chang Yulong with some surprise, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Chang Family Master, I want to know why those sergeants want to surrender to us, and why they elected you as their representative."
Chang Yulong smiled bitterly and while he was talking, Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk." After Chang Yulong thanked them, they all sat down.
After Chang Yulong sat down, he said to Zhao Hai: "Your Majesty, you may not know what kind of life I am waiting for now, let alone what kind of life those people are living. Those people are looking forward to it every day.
I hope Your Majesty can call to save them from the fire and water. Although we have had contact with the Holy Court before, we really did not expect that the Holy Court would be so ruthless and treat human life as nothing.
Nowadays, countless people in the city-states under the control of the Holy Court die of fatigue and hunger every day. The people under them are even more like pigs and sheep. On the other hand, the people under your Majesty's rule live and work happily. Although we are nobles, we also know that
The people are the foundation of the world. The remnants of the Holy Court are here, but I can win the hearts of the people. Although I, Chang Yulong, am not talented, the people under my Chang family can still have enough to eat and will not be exhausted. But we are the only ones.
What's the use of the family's efforts? The Holy Court also imposes heavy taxes on families like ours. Our family's foundation has been squeezed out by the Holy Court for several generations, and now the people under our rule have no way to survive.
It is precisely because our reputation is not bad that the sergeants elected us as representatives. We came to see your majesty and asked your majesty to use your benevolent army to relieve the people from hanging upside down!"
Zhao Hai listened quietly to Chang Yulong's words. Chang Yulong's words had obviously been thought out a long time ago, so although these words were unusual, they also explained the matter clearly. It was simply that the Holy Court had squeezed the common people too much.
Those people have no way to survive. The Chang family, a conscientious family, is good to the people under their rule and does not let the people under their rule die of exhaustion and starvation. However, the Holy Court imposes heavy taxes on them and puts them to death.
They were almost cornered, and because of their goodwill, they were elected by the sergeants and became representatives to see him.
Zhao Hai recalled what the spies had sent about the Chang family. Chang Yulong did not lie. The Chang family was very good to ordinary people. I took care of them, so among ordinary people,
The Chang family also has a very good reputation, so it seems that what he said is true.
However, this incident really surprised Zhao Hai. The last time Liu Kairen personally brought people to attack them, he would definitely leave his confidants in the military camp behind to guard the army. In this case
,How did those sergeants recommend Chang Yulong and others as representatives?
Zhao Hai looked at Chang Yulong and said: "Master Chang, the last time Liu Kairen brought some people to attack us, we wiped them all out. I think this is not a secret, but I think it is impossible for you to have Liu Kairen in your army."
Confidants, right? How do you treat Liu Kairen’s confidants? "
Chang Yulong said in a deep voice: "Kill! Liu Kairen has left with a large number of masters, and those masters are mostly people from the Holy Continent and are very loyal to the Holy Court. There are not many people left behind, and those of us
, the people in the Holy Court usually looked down upon it, but more stayed behind. Later, those sergeants strongly recommended us, so we killed Liu Kairen and his confidants, and sealed the teleportation array.
I just came to see His Majesty."
Zhao Hai nodded, looked at Chang Yulong and said: "When it comes to asking for life for the people, I can only believe half of it. Chang Yulong, you still said it clearly. You killed Liu Kairen's people and came to surrender to me.
Just for the sake of your own family, you also want to get some benefits from me, tell me, what do you want?"
Chang Yulong was stunned. He really didn't expect that Zhao Hai would speak so directly. He was stunned for a moment, then his face changed, and he looked at Zhao Hai with some surprise. After a while, he stood up and plopped down.
After kneeling in front of Zhao Hai, several other people also knelt down. Chang Yulong then said: "Your Majesty, we really don't dare to ask for anything. We can finally see that the Holy Court wants us."
We dare not ask for too much as we are on the road to death. If His Majesty captures Leiyun City, we will be satisfied as long as we can save our family."
In fact, this was not what Chang Yulong and the others discussed at the beginning. Saving the family was only their bottom line. They actually wanted to put forward some conditions, but since meeting Zhao Hai, Chang Yulong did not dare to mess around. Although
He and Zhao Hai hadn't exchanged a few words, but he had already seen how scary Zhao Hai was. Looking at Zhao Hai's see-through eyes, Chang Yulong knew that if they dared to talk to Zhao Hai
Zhao Hai was afraid that Zhao Hai would deal with them immediately if they said something was wrong, so Chang Yulong immediately lowered his attitude because he found that Zhao Hai was a very strong person, and people like this were the most annoying.
When others negotiate terms with him, if they really dare to negotiate terms with Zhao Hai, then Zhao Hai will never be polite to them. On the contrary, if they directly tell their bottom line and ask for Zhao Hai's words, then Zhao Hai will not be polite to them.
The sea might also give them some benefits.
Zhao Hai glanced at Chang Yulong. He knew why Chang Yulong was like this. He had experienced too many things like this. If he still understood Chang Yulong's plan, then his life would really be in vain, but he also
He doesn't want to embarrass Chang Yulong and the others. Chang Yulong and the others are defecting in the face of battle. He still has to give some benefits to people like this so as to set an example for others, so that more people will turn to him in the future.
Zhao Hai looked at Chang Yulong and said: "Of course there is no problem in protecting your family, and I can even make you the lord of a city. As long as you follow me sincerely, I, Zhao Hai, will never treat anyone badly. Okay,
Get up."
After Chang Yulong and the others thanked Zhao Hai, they got up, but they did not sit down. Instead, they stood there, waiting for Zhao Hai to speak. Zhao Hai glanced at Chang Yulong and the others and said in a deep voice: "Okay.
, I know about this matter, you can go back and make arrangements, I will send my troops there right away, go ahead."
When Chang Yulong heard what Zhao Hai said, he was stunned. Then he looked up at Zhao Hai and said, "Then please send someone to follow me. I have assembled the army and am waiting for your Majesty to come and receive it.
"
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said: "No need, why did I send someone to follow you? Just go back and go. Don't worry about anything. Don't trust the people you employ and don't trust the people you doubt. This is my principle. I'll do my job well."
, I can’t treat you badly.”
Chang Yulong said quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will do a good job." After saying that, he led a few people to salute Zhao Hai, then exited the tent and led a few people to walk outside the camp.
.
After a few people left, Shi Zhui said: "Master, do you really believe them that much? What if this is really a trap? If we cross the river hastily, will there be any danger?"
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "We don't have to be afraid if there is danger. Their army of one million people is just a bunch of people who pollute the river. There is nothing special about it. Order the army to cross the river. As long as they receive this army of one million people, then
The Holy Court is finished." Shi Chui responded and went down to deliver the order, but he was still a little worried.
Zhao Hai was not worried at all. It was not that he believed in Chang Yulong and the others, but that Zhao Hai believed that as long as his army crossed the river, even if this was a conspiracy by the Holy Court, they did not have to be afraid. Zhao Hai had already
It can be seen from those prisoners that the Holy Court is indeed unpopular now. If the Holy Court really dares to use this method to deceive him, then Zhao Hai will admit it. However, Zhao Hai believes that the Holy Court does not dare. If they
If he really dared to use this method, it might be counterproductive, and those soldiers might actually surrender to him. In that case, the Holy Court would be in trouble.
Following Zhao Hai's order, the army immediately began to pack up their things and crossed the Yunshui River directly from the pontoon bridge. There was no problem with the pontoon bridge and the army crossed the river smoothly.
