Seeing that Ye Qiu was about to kill him, Xiao Polu was so frightened that he almost lost his mind.
"Ye... Ye... no, I should call you Emperor Xia."
Emperor Xia, if you spare my life, I will summon the Sword Dao Sect to fight for you on the battlefield, reclaim lost territory, and atone for my sins.
If I am truly destined to die, I beg Emperor Xia to let me die on the battlefield where I reclaim the lost territories of Great Xia.
Xiao Polu made a final effort, with unprecedented devotion.
Ye Qiu sneered, his murderous intent undiminished.
Just as Ye Qiu was about to make his move, an anxious voice came: "Brother Ye, don't kill him."
Ye Qiu frowned; it was Wang Xiaoyu's voice.
Wang Xiaoyu pushed aside the Shenzhou Army and ran towards Ye Qiu.
The Shenzhou Army knew that Wang Xiaoyu was Ye Qiu's confidant, so no one stopped them and they voluntarily made way for her.
Soon, Wang Xiaoyu ran up to Ye Qiu, panting, with sweat beading on her smooth forehead.
"Little Fish, what are you doing here? What did you mean by what you just said? Do you know this person?" Ye Qiu asked, puzzled.
“I don’t know him.” Wang Xiaoyu said softly, “Brother Ye, I just think that it’s better to keep him alive than to kill him. Keeping him alive is more effective than killing him.”
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Ye Qiu looked at Wang Xiaoyu with great interest.
After taking a deep breath, Wang Xiaoyu said softly, "This person has already surrendered. Killing him now might bring temporary relief, but it would send a signal that even those who surrender will be killed."
Once this signal reaches the leaders of other states, they will develop a mindset that only by fighting to the death can they have a chance to survive.
Conversely, keeping this person alive and letting him lead the Sword Dao Sect to fight desperately for Great Xia is the only way to maximize our benefits. Brother Ye, you surely know what I mean.”
Hearing this, Ye Qiu was genuinely surprised.
Wang Xiaoyu's reaction and persuasion were completely unexpected by him.
Moreover, what Wang Xiaoyu said makes a lot of sense.
From a broader perspective, this is indeed the right approach.
"Little Fish is indeed a top student, he's got some skills."
Ye Qiu gave a thumbs up.
"Brother Ye, you flatter me." Wang Xiaoyu said shyly.
Ye Qiu said softly, "Okay, then let's do it your way."
Okay.
Wang Xiaoyu was very excited to see that Ye Qiu had adopted her suggestion.
Ye Qiu then looked at Xiao Polu and said calmly, "You heard it too, she saved your life. Do you know what to do?"
"I understand, I understand perfectly." Xiao Polu hurriedly said, "Emperor Xia, you can rest assured that I will do my best to recover the lost territory for Great Xia, atone for my sins, and never dare to have any disloyal thoughts again."
"I won't believe you just by talking."
Ye Qiu immediately took action, leaving a potentially fatal trap within Xiao Polu's body.
If Xiao Polu dares to make any unusual move, Ye Qiu can kill him anytime, anywhere.
Xiao Polu dared not express any dissatisfaction with this.
At this moment, he was completely suppressed by Ye Qiu and became utterly submissive.
"Emperor Xia, from this moment on, the Sword Dao Sect is your subordinate force, ready to fight for you and die for you."
Xiao Polu once again expressed his loyalty.
"Clean up the mess, gather the troops, and await orders," Ye Qiu said coldly.
"As you command."
Xiao Polu stood up and bowed deeply.
Ye Qiu turned around and left with Wang Xiaoyu.
This matter has now come to an end.
From this moment on, it also means that Shenzhou City has been taken back by Ye Qiu.
But Ye Qiu understood that this was just the beginning.
The task of retaking the area will become increasingly difficult.
Because people in other states must already be on guard.
