Li Zhong took a step forward, an imperceptible hint of lushness flashed across his handsome face, and he deliberately lowered his voice, "As a Nanbang native, everyone is their own master." Then he changed the subject, "This, I'll wait for you.
I came here to surrender under the order of my emperor. If Prince Mu is willing to surrender my lord, Nampang and Beiyan will be repaired forever, and the people of Beiyan can live and work in peace and contentment."
Then he handed over the surrender letter, "This is the surrender letter. The content is very clearly written. If Prince Mu agrees, he will stamp his fingerprint on it and submit the surrender letter to us on the spot on the day he ascends the throne!"
Mu Shengyu's face looked frosty, and after hesitating again and again, he accepted the surrender letter.
Li Zhong looked at him and spoke calmly, "Prince Mu still has great righteousness! If he had known this, His Highness Ninth Prince would not have lost his life in vain." There was a deep resentment towards Mu Shengyu in his heart. That day, when they sent
When the surrender letter came, he didn't even read it. He sent it to the front line and insisted that Mu Fengyi resist to the end. Now, she finally died on the battlefield for him, and he, Mu Shengyu, sat here comfortably and continued.
Become his crown prince, and even continue to be the emperor of his Northern Yan Kingdom in the future!
Thinking of this, Chen Zhong felt that Mu Fengyi was not worth it!
That day, on the city tower, seeing her blood splattered on her white robe, he felt extremely uncomfortable. He was recommended by her and successfully went undercover in the Beiyan Army Camp. In a life-and-death battle, he made the necessary sacrifice for his motherland.
She has made contributions...but I feel sorry for her! He feels guilty. He admires her talent and strategy. In fact, he knows that underneath her cruel appearance, she has a patriotic heart with golden letters. He also knows that
, he couldn't stop her determination to die! So, he would rather watch all this from a distance, and would rather let his heart suffer from a distance...
Until he saw Bi Tianyi go to save her, and saw the miserable scene of her last desperate struggle, and watched Bi Tianyi holding her and whining in pain...his heart was bleeding with pain...
"..." Mu Shengyu remained silent and did not answer.
"As long as you are willing to surrender, our Lord will grant amnesty to your ministers and let go of the captured soldiers! Let the 30,000 Northern Yan troops go home," Li Zhong said indifferently
Mu Shengyu's face was extremely heavy and he replied slowly, "Let me think about it for a few days."
"Okay, but we still have the emperor's orders, so we can't stay here for a long time. I believe that Prince Mu will be able to figure everything out in one night!" After Li Zhong said this, he turned around and said, "I'll take my leave now!"
Then he left the palace with Chen Bing
Mu Shengyu was left alone, holding the surrender letter tightly in his hand, and the depression in his heart became heavier and heavier.
…
On the second day, the sun shone on the Jinluan Hall in the imperial capital of Yanjing, creating a shining majestic scene.
The new emperor ascended the throne. Mu Shengyu wore a crown on his head and a luxurious and extraordinary tapestry dragon robe with wide sleeves. There was no trace of joy on his handsome face. Under the eyes of the courtiers, he walked step by step to the top of the main hall.
Holding the letter of surrender with both hands, he knelt on the ground in front of Chen Bing and Li Zhong.
There are emotions deeply hidden in his eyes. He must not make any rebellious move, otherwise, he will become Dayan's sinner and push them into the turbulent war... It's ironic, isn't he a sinner now?
Already?
Mu Shengyu said loudly, "We, Beiyan, are willing to belong to the Nanbang Kingdom, and all the terms in the recruitment and surrender document will be abided by Yu's decree! We will pay tribute and various scientific donations and taxes every year!"
"Okay" Li Zhong responded, and then took the surrender letter in his hand, opened it and looked at it. Sure enough, his fingerprints were stamped on the back, so he could return to the emperor.
"From now on, you, Beiyan, will be a vassal state of our front country. We will exchange trade and economic exchanges, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. Our emperor will grant a general amnesty to the world and will release all the prisoners of war in Beiyan! Also, in accordance with the emperor's decree, we are exempted from going to Beiyan.
All the exorbitant taxes and levies imposed by Yan State in a year!" Li Zhong continued
All the ministers were shocked when they heard this, and they all knelt down and worshiped on the ground.
Mu Shengyu was a little surprised, but he concealed all his emotions very well, "Thank you for your grace, my emperor, long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!" The people below also shouted.
There was an invisible flame dancing in Mu Shengyu's eyes. He would never let it go like this! Bi Tianyi, you are so stupid! Do you think that such kindness can win over people's hearts? He is from Beiyan Kingdom
Beiyan Kingdom will never admit that it is subordinate to anyone!!
All necessary procedures have come to an end, and the end has come
"I have a request from my vassal state. I wonder if I can grant it?" Mu Shengyu raised his head and looked at Li Zhong.
"Say!" Li Zhong said indifferently. He just wanted to end the trip as soon as possible.
"My Nine Emperor Brother died on the battlefield, can her body be returned? To comfort the spirit of my Emperor Brother in heaven!" Mu Shengyu's eyes flashed with excitement.
Li Zhong thought for a moment and replied, "The remains of all the soldiers who died in the battle were cremated at that time, and none were left..."
"..." Mu Shengyu stopped talking. A heavy blow hit his heart and it hurt.
He didn't even know how to face this cruel thing. He died without leaving even a trace of remains.
Pain overflowed in his heart, and the sense of depression was so suffocating that he couldn't breathe. There was a cloud on his handsome face, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes.
"Please forgive me." Li Zhong saw the other party's uncomfortable look, and felt very unhappy, "I believe His Highness Ninth Prince will live a happier life in heaven..."
Mu Shengyu stood up, turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall step by step. Looking at the blue sky, a floating cloud was floating, as white and flawless as the snowflakes. It was unbearable to touch, and of course it was out of reach.
And, that's her! She was once pure and flawless...
"You must be happy, because you are back to the past..." Mu Shengyu murmured to himself, his eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but shed two lines of tears...
The old friend has passed away, but the living person will continue on. Well, let him bear all the pain and misfortune...
Suddenly, grains of snow fluttered in the air. Mu Shengyu stretched out his hand to check, uh, snow, it actually snowed in Beiyan Kingdom, a rare sight that could not be seen in a hundred years...
"Is it you..." Tears welled up again...
…
Flowers bloom and fall, flowers fall and flowers bloom, mist and rain fall, clouds roll and relax. In a blink of an eye, a whole year of time slips by silently.
This is a vast body of water in the mountains behind the Lampang Kingdom Palace. It is bottomless, white water stretches to the sky, and is boundless. Because it is blocked by rolling mountains, it is inaccessible. There is a small island lined with green trees in the center of the water.
Occasionally, when a ship passes by, a flock of jackdaws will be startled.
On this day, a small ship happened to arrive here. At this moment, the shadow of dark clouds in the sky tore apart the last warm veil of the sunset.
The man above walked down, passed through a thorny bush, and followed a fast river to the end. The roaring in his ears became louder and louder. When he came to a low valley, he saw
The waterfall cascading down from the rock erupted into the sky, and a cloud of smoke appeared like a rain curtain hanging on a sunny day. Below, there was a dark green deep pool that could not be seen.
The man looked at the waterfall. His handsome face was dull for a moment, as if he could see inside through the splashing curtain of the waterfall. His eagle eyes gradually brightened, as if he saw some rare treasure...
This place is like the legendary Water Curtain Cave...
Bi Tianyi then quickly walked outside a stone wall, took out a square token made of black iron from his arms, and knocked it in a recess of the same size. There was a clang~~ The stone wall on one side suddenly moved.
After a moment, a small opening was opened, and Bi Tianyi immediately walked in.
This is a long and narrow road. When you reach the top, it becomes wider and wider, and your eyes are brighter. Yes, this is the water curtain cave of the waterfall.
It's just that there is an iron gate made of gold across the front. The iron gate is full of gorgeous decorations of gold and blue, and a thin figure can be vaguely seen lying inside the magnificent purple curtain.
"Your Majesty~~" the two female officials guarding outside the iron gate knelt down and said
"How is she? Have you eaten today's meal?" Bi Tianyi squinted at the back of the person inside.
"Back to the emperor, this person..." As soon as he started speaking
Bi Tianyi frowned, "Why is this person called Mr. Mu?"
"Yes, Mr. Mu, she refuses to eat for two days in a row," a female official replied
"Asshole! Why didn't you come earlier and open the door?"
"Yes" the female officer immediately took out the key and opened the iron lock.
Bi Tianyi walked in and came to her side. She turned her back to him and seemed to be asleep.
"My concubine...are you okay? I'm here to see you," Bi Tianyi said, patting her on the back.
suddenly
A sharp stone sword was slashed towards his body. Bi Tianyi was startled and shrank back to avoid the blow.
The other party's reaction was also very fast, and then he stopped and stabbed himself. Bi Tianyi was even more horrified. He pinched her wrist firmly and tightened her waist tightly with the other hand.
"Asshole~~~let me go, let me go~~~" Mu Fengyi roared angrily, the sound was like coming from hundreds of layers of hell abyss, and it was terrifying.
"I won't let you go, even if I die!"
"Then you die! Why don't you die!"
"I will not die!"
"Well, if you don't die, I will!"
"No, I won't let you die either! I won't let you die!!"
The two of them fought desperately on the bed, and bang~~ the Lisuo in his hand was finally snatched away by him, thrown to the ground, and broke into two pieces. At the same time, his heart was also broken into two pieces.
Mu Fengyi was lying on the bed, pressed in his arms. She stopped talking and didn't move. She was probably exhausted. Suddenly, the air became quiet.
Bi Tianyi felt her emotions and let go of her slightly. Mu Fengyi immediately sat up from the bed, lowered her head and looked to the side.
Because she has not seen the sun for a long time, her skin looks pale, and her beautiful face is especially fair and thin. Even the capillaries can be vaguely seen on her cheeks, and her thin body bones are even more frail.
