Chapter 583 Nan Sang, surrender
To the top of Tubei Mountain.
The boys and girls sat crookedly on the big rocks and watched the sunset.
The sun has set.
A large area of brilliant sunset glow remained in the sky, and the sky was reflected in a beautiful purple-red color.
The hustle and bustle from Qinghe has dissipated, and the village is bustling again. Laughter can be heard from afar, accompanied by wisps of rising smoke. Looking down from the top of the mountain, every place is a soothing scenery.
"Sister, was it really Yan Changkong who destroyed the mechanism on the magic weapon's neck?" Bing'er sat on a high rock, swinging her legs comfortably. Even though she was already married, she was still as cute and naive as ever.
Tian Bao hummed, her hands resting on her sides, letting the evening wind ruffle her hair. She looked at the fireworks in the village, her whole body lazy. "The news was brought back by the spies of the Killing Palace. Yan Chongming wants to fight to the death. If he fails, he will be buried with the magic weapon. Those mechanisms were made by Yan Chongming. Yan Changkong deliberately installed them upside down. When the mechanism is activated, the sharp blade will retract in the opposite direction and will not pierce the neck of the magic weapon. When Mo Cang appeared with the magic weapon, I secretly observed him and made sure that the mechanism was indeed installed upside down before showing up. If the spy's information is wrong, we must first find a way to protect them. It may not be so easy to win."
Bai Yu was extremely cautious in his actions. Even if it was information passed back by the spies from the Killing Palace, he would only believe half of it.
That's why we sent Du Grandpa and the others away in advance today, just in case it would be difficult to take care of them in the face of danger.
"Yan Changkong would betray Yan Chongming. Even we were surprised, let alone Yan Chongming. He will definitely die with regrets." Bai Yu bit a piece of grass core, his posture was casual and lazy, and there was indifference in his eyes when he mentioned Yan Chongming and Yan Changkong.
Perhaps Yan Changkong felt a little sympathy for the divine weapon.
Or maybe Yan Changkong has a little affection for the land of exile.
No matter which one, it saves them a lot of trouble.
But that’s all.
They remain irreconcilable rivals.
Nan Sang has become the target of public criticism.
The news that Yan Chongming died in exile today will soon spread, and then the troops assembled by various countries will be immediately driven to Nansang.
Including the Dai Viet soldiers.
Su An, Su Wu and Xiao Maisui all knew this, and the three of them felt even more complicated.
Nan Sang has done too many evil things, and a war between other countries and Nan Sang is inevitable. By then, there will be a scene of widespread grief.
In this matter, it is impossible to say who is innocent and who is not.
The people of Nansang who are about to suffer from the war are innocent, but the countries and peoples of those countries that were previously invaded by Nansang are equally innocent.
It can only be said to be the result of karma.
Su An sighed and looked at Bai Yu, "Has the message been delivered to Uncle Broken Blade?"
Bai Yu nodded, "It will be delivered in seven days at the latest. Nansang has 300,000 troops outside the southern border. If Yan Changkong doesn't order a withdrawal, war is inevitable."
What the consequences will be depends on Yan Changkong's final decision.
The sunset glow in the sky gradually dimmed, and the evening breeze was mixed with the faint aroma of food.
Su Wu rubbed his head vigorously and stood up. "Don't think about it anymore. Where did I find so many troubles? Let's go home and eat! I heard my aunt calling for dinner!"
“…” The rest of the people stood up one by one, their noses flaring; the smell of the food was truly tempting.
However, the scene waiting at home is really daunting.
If you want to eat, you will probably have to be criticized first.
After looking at each other, the boys and girls laughed and flew down the mountain, "Let's go home and have dinner!"
It’s just a criticism!
Can handle it!
That night, the Su family's yard was once again in the familiar chaos, with shouts of cursing, fleeing, and begging for mercy ringing in the night.
The villagers were so happy that they simply brought stools and sat in front of their homes to listen to the fun before going to bed.
The night in July is extremely beautiful, with stars that you can pick with your hands.
The villagers sat on mats, fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans to drive away mosquitoes, and chatted loudly across the loess road.
Children were running back and forth and playing on the road. They were not afraid of falling even though there was no light. Whenever they were about to fall, someone would fly out from the shadows and pick them up in time to prevent them from getting hurt.
What happened outside the east city wall during the day seemed like an insignificant episode and just passed by.
The days in the land of exile were the same as usual, with people working from sunrise to sunset and returning home at dusk.
The only difference is that there are many more people going into the Qing River to bathe every day, and the ducks raised by the fishermen behind the mountain next door are unwilling to go into the river.
…
Mid-July.
War breaks out across Greater Vietnam.
Yuan Yao, the veteran general defending Dai Viet, was a brave warrior. He led the Yuan family army and 70,000 soldiers stationed on the border to drive the enemy thirty miles away.
At the same time, the troops mobilized by various countries to reinforce Dai Viet also arrived at the southern border. In addition to the 200,000 elite troops of Xiling, the remaining eight countries had a total of 400,000 troops, and they entered Nansang with great momentum.
The scene where Nansang pointed his sword at Dongpu and captured cities is now being repeated in Nansang.
It was just that the roles were reversed, and it was Nan Sang's turn to feel helpless.
Nansang Palace.
Yan Changkong sat alone in the huge bedroom. The room was empty and extremely quiet.
There was a half-finished pot of wine on the carved sandalwood table, and next to the pot was a secret letter that had just been read.
There were only a few numbers on the letter——
Su Jiuni is still alive.
Yan Changkong's gaze fixed on the three words "Su Jiuni", his eyes surged, and after a long time, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Her slender fingertips gently stroked the three words, and she turned her head to look out the window.
It is daytime.
In the afternoon, sunlight slanted in through the window lattices. Although it was the hot summer sun of July, it could not dispel the chill in the hall.
"So you're still alive." He sighed, his voice so soft it almost sounded like a whisper. "That's great."
After sighing, he laughed again, picked up the wine jug and drank the wine in one gulp.
Next to the secret letter, there was also a battle report.
——Qingcheng fell, and troops from various countries approached Suzhou.
Suzhou is already the heart of Nansang.
It is only two states away from the Nansang Imperial City.
With the momentum of the coalition forces, it won’t be long before they attack the imperial city.
Yan Changkong stood up, put his hands behind his back and walked slowly to the window. Standing in the setting sun, he was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and because he was too thin, he looked a little empty.
The sunlight illuminated his face, and his expression was extremely calm.
At the end of July, on the eve of the capture of Suzhou by various countries, Emperor Xuan Jing received a letter from the new emperor of Nansang.
Nansang, surrender.
