Zhao Linger helped Zhao Min up and quickly wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.

For no other reason, Zhao Linger was just afraid that after the soldiers under her command saw this scene, something uncontrollable would happen.

Of course, Zhao Linger didn’t particularly care about those uncontrollable things. She just thought that Zhang Wuji probably didn’t want to see those uncontrollable things.

…

At this moment, Zhang Wuji and his soldiers fell silent.

Faced with the crying of tens of thousands of people, the words of surrender he had prepared in advance were completely forgotten.

Even many generals like Yang Xiao were in almost the same situation as Zhang Wuji.

If Zhao Min didn't kneel, everyone would feel unwilling, but if Zhao Min knelt, everyone would be at a loss.

However, at this moment, Zhou Zhiruo walked behind Zhang Wuji and said, "These damn Yuan soldiers, we gave them a way to survive, but they are still crying here, why don't you stop them?"

Just as Zhou Zhiruo finished saying this, she felt a chilling murderous intent coming towards her.

This creepy feeling made the hairs on her body stand on end.

Zhou Zhiruo looked up and saw Zhao Min looking at her. Her eyes were as sharp as a knife, which made Zhou Zhiruo feel a little afraid.

Under this knife-like gaze, Zhou Zhiruo subconsciously placed her hand on the long sword at her waist.

Uncontrollable factors seem to be on the verge of happening.

However, at this moment, Zhang Wuji said to Zhao Min: "Go and say a few words to your soldiers."

"I have already got what I wanted. You can talk to your soldiers and then come into the city with me."

When Zhao Min heard this, she didn't say anything more.

She turned around and walked in front of her soldiers. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Soldiers, there is no need to cry. You have done a good job. The fault lies with me and the previous emperors of the Yuan Dynasty. If it weren't for our incompetence, the Yuan Dynasty would still be able to rule the world."

"But since we have been defeated, there is no need to blame others anymore. I am the one who destroyed the Yuan Dynasty, not you. There is nothing to cry about. The men of the grassland do not need to shed tears."

"From today on, the Yuan Dynasty no longer exists, but at least we are still alive and have not been driven back to the grassland. In a sense, it can be said that we have not been completely defeated."

"In my life, I started fighting at the age of seventeen. Throughout my life, I don't know whether what I did was right or not, but no matter what, I still want to thank the soldiers for their life and death companionship over the years."

"Zhao Min is here to thank all the soldiers present."

…

Zhao Min's words were not particularly passionate, but only filled with endless sadness.

But Zhao Min's next move was beyond everyone's expectations.

That is, she actually knelt down in front of her own soldiers and said: "Thank you for your support over the years. I am sorry for you."

When Zhao Min knelt, the 60,000 soldiers in front of her knelt down almost instantly.

At this moment, Wang Baobao was already in tears. He shouted loudly: "We have followed Your Majesty for many years without any regrets and would not refuse even if we die."

After Wang Baobao finished speaking, tens of thousands of soldiers followed suit and shouted: "No regrets, we would rather die than decline..."

At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo said to Zhang Wuji: "My enemy, kill her. If we keep this woman, she will be a disaster sooner or later."

"Look at the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of her, they don't look like surrenderers at all."

"After Zhao Min's words, these soldiers will probably be more loyal to her. If she rebels one day, it will be no joke."

"If you don't want to see this scene, just turn around and leave now. I will be the bad guy."

…

Zhou Zhiruo's words expressed the thoughts of most people.

Generals such as Yang Xiao all looked at him sideways, as if they were waiting for his orders.

Zhao Linger and Yu Fei were also staring at him intently.

At this moment, Zhang Wuji knew that he didn't need to do anything or say anything. He just needed to turn around, and someone would do the rest for him, and it would definitely be done beautifully.

But Zhang Wuji remembered the promise he made to Zhao Min that night. After all, since they had that relationship, he didn't want to go too far.

Therefore, Zhang Wuji still chose to remain silent.

His attitude made Zhou Zhiruo feel a little disappointed, but in the end, she didn't say anything else.

So far, Zhou Zhiruo is the only person who knows that he had a relationship with Zhao Min. Facing such a passionate man, if Zhang Wuji really chooses to kill him, I am afraid Zhou Zhiruo's heart will be different.

…

On the other side, after Zhao Min knelt down to pay homage to her own soldiers, she warned them: "Soldiers, from today on, the Yuan Dynasty is considered to be dead, and I am no longer your empress. From now on, you must follow Zhang Wuji's orders and never create any more trouble, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to do my job."

After saying this, Zhao Min stood up and returned to Zhang Wuji's side.

"Zhang Wuji, let's end today's matter here. I only ask you not to go back on your word. I will go into the city with you and I will be within your sight at all times."

"You can kill me, but don't ever have any murderous thoughts towards my soldiers. The Yuan Empire has been established for nearly a hundred years. They have laid down their weapons and they grew up on this land."

"They just don't want to leave here. As long as I am in your hands, they won't rebel."

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Wuji said to Yang Xiao, "Give them food and herbs, and let them camp outside the city first. We will discuss the specific matters after we have discussed them in a few days."

…

Today's surrender still made Zhang Wuji a little angry.

Although he accepted the surrender of the Mongols, Zhang Wuji felt that he had no dignity at all. Instead, as Zhou Zhiruo said, Zhao Min won the hearts of the people in front of her own soldiers.

…

After entering the city, Zhang Wuji first instructed Zhao Linger: "Sister, you go find a house for Zhao Min yourself, and then arrange a hundred men to ambush around the house. She is not allowed to move without my permission."

Zhao Linger hurriedly took the order and left. Then, Zhang Wuji took Zhao Min's sword.

He stuffed the sword into Zhou Zhiruo's hand and said, "Zhiruo, this sword is yours. I couldn't fulfill your wish today. I feel guilty. I will apologize to you tonight."
