Chapter 26 Surrender



"Give me some time to calm down. Will my life and death be in your hands?" At this point, Ye Wanwan could only force herself to calm down, control the fear in her heart, and put away her disbelief.

In the face of high technology, she, as a primitive person, was too insignificant, so insignificant that she had no power to fight back. She didn't even know her opponent, and her opponent didn't even take her seriously.

"No, we can't be affected by the karma of this world. Just now, it was because the host had already exchanged the medicine that I was able to use a trick." Xiaomei shook her head and explained seriously.

"Wanwan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" After changing clothes, Lin Xu'an heard that Ye Wanwan had gone back to her room for something. When she came in, she saw Ye Wanwan sitting at the table with her face supported by her hands, her eyes dull.

It seemed as if he was going to lose her in the next second. There was no hope for life. Lin Xu'an felt inexplicably nervous and didn't even dare to touch the person in front of him. He asked in a low voice.

Ye Wanwan rolled her eyes, regained consciousness, and calmed down. "I'm fine, Uncle Quan, is he feeling better?"

"They say he's feeling a little better and looks more energetic, but I'm afraid it's just a last gasp..." Lin Xu'an felt relieved and replied softly.

Ye Wanwan, who did good deeds anonymously, nodded without saying anything more. She would secretly feed him another pill later, and that would probably be enough.

"Lin Quan, Lin Quan, Lin Quan..." Lin Quan, whose consciousness was hazy, finally broke through the darkness. He slowly opened his eyes and trembled subconsciously. He seemed to have seen Xi Niang just now...

Lin Yu, who was standing by, was overjoyed, his voice trembling, "It's good that he woke up, it's good that he woke up."

"Lin Yu, where is this?" Lin Quan's voice was a little dry. He took great pains to see the person in front of him clearly and asked intermittently.

Wasn't he lying in bed at home, already delirious with fever and unconscious? He thought he was going to die.

"It's okay, it's all over. As long as you get through it, it'll be fine. I'll bring you some porridge." Lin Yu patted the quilt and was happy from the bottom of his heart. If anything happened to Lin Quan, he would lose his only close friend.

Ye Wanwan intercepted Lin Yu who was out serving porridge and took over the job. People with a fever have little sense of taste, and even if they do, they will just think it is an illusion. In this way, she doesn't have to worry about being sneaky.

After a bowl of porridge, Lin Quan stayed awake and said a few words to Lin Yu. Perhaps it was the effect of the medicine or because his body had not fully recovered, but he fell into a deep sleep.

At this time, on the border of Dayong, the soldiers who had been hungry for a long time could only muster up their strength to hold their weapons. The heavy snow fell, and the armor on their bodies could no longer resist. But there was no other way. What they faced was the elite enemy troops who were eyeing them covetously and had been planning for a long time.

"Is your dog emperor of Darong worthy of your loyalty? Leaving your hometown to guard the border, not having enough to eat and warm clothes to wear, I really feel sorry for you." A young man wearing a white cloak said playfully on a tall horse.

As soon as these words came out, the accompanying soldiers echoed, "Surrender and you won't be killed, surrender and you won't be killed."

"General, what should we do?" The snow on the top of Commander Darong's tent was not cleared by anyone, just like the atmosphere inside the tent, which was oppressive and made people feel breathless.

The enemy's shouting was incessant, the soldiers on standby were hungry, and the people in the city were even more worried. For a moment, the battle had not even started, but they had already been lost.

The snow-white cloth strips were gently wiped on the long sword, and the sword reflected his current shadow. Bai Qingwu was a little dazed. Not long ago, he was so high-spirited. After all, time had changed too much.

Why, he wondered, had his best friend, who had once joined hands with him to pacify the Four Directions and bring peace to the world, become like this? They had studied together, practiced martial arts together, and when he wanted to become emperor, he would become the sharpest blade in his hand, striking wherever he pointed, never failing.

He couldn't tell whether it was the emperor's heart that was unpredictable or the human heart that was inherently unpredictable.

It started with bringing concubines into the palace one by one, persuading their former bedmates to be the mother of the country, or starting with brothers, delaying military supplies, disregarding the country and the people, just to test their so-called loyalty...

If that is the case, why should we stop him when he retires? His death is a small matter, but the country is more important. Why should we do this?

"Calm the emotions of the soldiers and the people, and surrender." It's just two words, why do they sound so heavy?

After saying that, Bai Qingwu raised the sword in his hand and walked on the snow-covered ground, his feet moving with every step. His sword was full of deadly moves. He was dissatisfied, he was unwilling, he didn't want to surrender, but he couldn't.

Under the current circumstances, if the soldiers go up, they will die, which is like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, and it will be impossible. If they surrender, they will die and be considered a traitor, but at least they can save the lives of the people in this city.

After all, they were brothers for many years. There would definitely be a large army guarding this city. What that person wanted was only his life and his reputation ruined. He didn't want others to think of him, General Bai, when they mentioned the dignified emperor...

"General, we can fight."

"General, we can fight."

The calls echoed in his ears. Bai Qingwu lowered his eyes and looked at the brothers who had fought with him everywhere. The sadness in his eyes was hard to hide. He only hoped that the brother still had a little conscience and would not be so foolish as to chill the hearts of the people of the world.

"General Bai Qingwu of Darong has surrendered voluntarily. Please follow the promise and do not harm the people in the city." General Bai Qingwu held the sword that had accompanied him for most of his life on his head, closed his eyes, and his spine, which had been straight for many years, seemed to bend all of a sudden.

Bai Qingwu knelt before the sky, the earth, his king, his parents, and his mentor. He dared to say that he had never let anyone down in his life, but now, he ended up like this.

"General Bai, I feel unworthy of your kneeling." Di Fengyu jumped down from his horse and helped Bai Qingwu up before his knees hit the ground.

For him, he couldn't bear to see a hero grow old, and what he couldn't bear even more was that the ruler of a country would use such despicable means just to discard his most powerful dagger.

He was also a young general, who also became famous at a young age and was invincible. However, compared to Bai Qingwu, he was lucky. He was the prince of Feng Kingdom, the legitimate and only heir to the throne of the royal family.

Others' expectations of him would only be stricter than his own. But the stronger his Di Fengyu became, the happier everyone would be. They were happy that Fengguo's wise emperor would have a successor, and that they could still live under Fengguo's protection.

Tears seemed to be welling up in the corners of his eyes, but Bai Qingwu still stood upright in the endless snow, like a pine or cypress, never bowing his head.
