"Whether the prince is defeated or not, we will know soon." Ji Xun's eyes were full of smiles and admiration for his wife, "But I believe in Yu Yu, she will not do anything that she is not sure of.'
"Yeah." Wang Chang nodded, "The princess has such great wisdom, she must have been sent by God to assist Your Highness."
"She is not only here to help me, but also to save me." Ji Xun's face was full of tenderness.
Wang Chang looked at Ji Xun and sighed at how much the Night King had changed.
A few years ago, the Night King was an iceberg without emotions, but now he has become a "human" with flesh and blood and rich emotions, and the princess is the one who changed him and turned him into a "human".
While talking, the big ship arrived in Tongzhou.
The volcano continues to erupt, and the volcanic ash on the dock is knee-deep, making it almost difficult for even the horses to walk.
"Your Highness, I will take people to check and see if the million-strong army is trapped." Wang Chang said, "Just wait on the boat."
The road to Wuyin Mountain was cut off by magma, and no one knew what the situation in Tongzhou was like right now.
"Go." Ji Xun said.
"Yes." Wang Chang responded, took several of his subordinates off the boat, and left on horseback.
More than an hour later, Wang Chang came back.
On the pier, I shook off the volcanic ash all over my body, and excitedly got on the boat to report.
"Your Highness, the princess is right. Niu Zhi led nearly a million troops and was trapped at the foot of Kirigakure Mountain by the 'River of Fire'."
"The volcanic ash was knee-deep and the soldiers didn't even have a place to sit, and they couldn't make a fire to cook. They were almost dying after being hungry for so many days.'
"But the lava river is still extremely hot and impassable. If this continues, they will die of thirst and starvation."
Ji Xun's eyes darkened after hearing Wang Chang's report.
These soldiers are so innocent. They are all citizens of the Zhou Dynasty. They are all sons and fathers. Their relatives at home are eagerly hoping that they will be safe. If it weren't for Huangfu Yi's selfish desires, how could they have died in such a senseless battle?
Death on a meaningful battlefield? But if they are willing to surrender, there is no way to save them.
"Let's go, I'm going to negotiate with Niu Zhi." Ji Xun said and got off the boat.
"Your Highness, a bamboo hat and a raincoat." Wang Chang took the bamboo hat and raincoat from the cabin and put it on Ji Xun before getting off the ship.
More than half an hour later, Ji Xun and his party arrived at the Fire River.
This river of fire that cannot be crossed is not very wide, only two or three feet. As soon as you get close to it, you can feel the burning heat hitting your face, making people want to retreat.
On the other side, soldiers were piled here and there, sitting or lying in the dry volcanic ash, swaying here and there.
They had no water to drink, their lips were all chapped and bleeding, and they were almost at their limit.
"Night King, the Night King is here." Vice General Wang's eyes were sharp and he saw at a glance Ji Xun who was riding on horseback on the other side of the "river", wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat. He struggled to get up and fell to his knees.
By the river of fire.
"His Royal Highness the Night King, we surrender, surrender~~" Vice General Wang screamed feebly, with despair in his eyes.
Niu Zhi and several other lieutenants also supported each other and came over, kneeling on the ground, "Surrender, we surrender! Please, His Highness the Night King, save us!'
"General Niu, if you sincerely surrender, then have a good chat with me." Ji Xun looked at the soldiers on the other side who were almost buried in volcanic ash, and smiled with a smile.
"Don't worry, His Highness the Night King, we will definitely surrender sincerely." Niu Zhi roared with great sincerity, "As long as you are willing to save us, our lives belong to His Highness the Night King, and we are willing to serve you!'
As soon as Niu Zhi finished speaking, countless soldiers who still had some strength rushed behind him. They all knelt down and begged for surrender, begged the Night King for help, and vowed to be loyal to the Night King in the future.
"Throw the surrender letter over." Ji Xun winked at Wang Chang, and Wang Chang took out the document in the iron tube and threw the iron tube to the other side of the river with a strong force.
Niu Zhi signed the letter of surrender without thinking.
Niu Zhi believed that the crown prince Huangfu Yi had offended God for this disaster, and God sent disasters to punish the crown prince. In this way, wouldn't surrendering to the Night King be considered as complying with God's will?
Moreover, after these two wars, Niu Zhi also clearly saw the wisdom and courage of the Night King and the Prince. The Night King's ability is a hundred times more powerful than he imagined. As long as the Night King wants it in the world, I am afraid it will be like Tan.
Xiang takes things.
The Night King originally followed the rules and had no intention of rebelling, but it was the Crown Prince Huangfu Yi who forced him to rebel. This may be God's will!
Therefore, Niu Zhi, the king of the night, did not feel too embarrassed to surrender. Instead, he felt that this was the general trend.
Thinking of this, Niu Zhi took the signed surrender letter in his hand, found a high place, used up all his strength, and spoke loudly to the soldiers who were in a heap of ash.
"Soldiers, cheer up and listen to what I have to say."
The tired and desperate eyes of the soldiers all focused on Niu Zhi.
Niu Zhi glanced at everyone and unfolded the surrender letter for everyone to see.
"As the general of the southwest, I know the inside story of this war. The Night King kidnapped the second princess of Qi and stabbed the prince. These are all untrue things. They are all staged by people sent by the prince. The purpose is
Start this war."
As soon as Niu Zhi finished speaking, the soldiers who were almost dying suddenly became angry.
"So the prince started this war? Why did he do this?'
"Do you even need to ask? It's not an attempt to kill the Night King.'
"To put it this way, the prince is really too vicious. The Night King rushed to the battlefield, defeated Beidi, pacified the Western Regions, and consolidated the border of Dali. Without the Night King, how could the Zhou Kingdom have peace and stability?"
"Isn't that right? Now that the crown prince has been appointed but there is no room for the Night King, he deliberately provoked this war in order to eradicate the Night King. It is simply unbearable."
The soldiers talked and helped each one climb up, raising their arms and shouting with all their strength.
"The prince is ruthless and his virtue is not worthy of his position. We are willing to surrender to the Night King~~"
"The prince is ruthless and his virtue is not worthy of his position. We are willing to surrender to the Night King~~"
Within a short time, millions of soldiers from the Zhou Dynasty all learned that the prince had planned to provoke a war and kill the Night King, and they turned against the Night King one after another.
"The prince is ruthless and his virtue is not worthy of his position. We are willing to surrender to the Night King~~"
Zhan Jian's slogans shook the sky, and all the soldiers surrendered willingly.
Seeing this, Ji Xun jumped up from his horse, and a ladder of clouds soared into the sky, directly passing over the scorching river of fire and landing on the other side of the river.
He came to a high place and stood side by side with Niu Zhi, and his words were loud and clear.
"My fellow soldiers, I went to the battlefield at the age of twelve and am well aware of the bloody cruelty of war. Once a war breaks out, the only ones who will bleed and shed tears are your soldiers on the front lines and the civilians whose homes have been destroyed."
