After hearing this, Yang Buhui felt as if she was about to faint from shame.
"Sister Queen, I, I am also doing this for Brother Wuji's own good."
"My cultivation is not as good as yours, so I can only think about making Brother Wuji sleep more comfortably. Other than that, I really don't know what else I can do."
Zhao Linger smiled and said, "Okay, sister Buhui, your awareness is already very high. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to touch you last night."
After Zhao Linger said this, she actually glanced at Zhou Zhiruo beside her.
Zhou Zhiruo was also helpless: "Old woman, have you forgotten the agreement we made last night? Do you need me to remind you of your age now? Do you really think you won't be able to ask me for help after so many years?"
Zhao Linger was stunned for a moment: "Sister Zhiruo, don't, we have been sisters for so many years, and the glance I gave you just now has almost become an instinct. We can talk, laugh, and play around, but you can't take it seriously."
Zhao Min said thoughtfully: "Sister Queen, you, you don't look like someone who can be controlled, do you?"
"You two just went out for a stroll last night, which took only a little over half an hour in total. What on earth happened between you two during that time?"
When Zhao Linger thought of what Zhou Zhiruo said last night, she blushed unconsciously.
Zhao Min quickly said: "Hey, look, the Queen is blushing, how can this be! If someone as shameless as the Queen is blushing, something very shameless must have happened."
All the women looked sideways.
Zhao Linger quickly said: "Sister Min'er, don't go too far. The world will be peaceful soon. Be careful or I will use you to entertain myself when I have nothing to do in the future."
…
Zhang Wuji did not rush to pay attention to the envoy sent by Zhu Yuanzhang. He laughed and joked with the girls for a while, ate something, and then called the man to his side.
From a distance, one could see that it was Liu Bowen again.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
This time, these words almost made Zhang Wuji laugh out loud.
When they met last night, Liu Bowen still called himself an outsider, but now he has removed the word "outside". It is obvious that he wants to abandon the dark and join the light.
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "My dear, did Zhu Yuanzhang agree to my conditions?"
Zhang Wuji's call of "My dear" almost broke Liu Bowen's defense. Everything happened too fast.
I was so quick that I even felt a little shameless.
Liu Bowen calmed himself down and always felt that he should be more loyal and brave.
Otherwise, I'm afraid Zhang Wuji would look down on me.
"Your Majesty, um, um, my Majesty has agreed to surrender."
"I had a long conversation with His Majesty the whole night last night. I used both logical and emotional means to persuade His Majesty, and finally I was able to convince His Majesty."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "I am aware of your good intentions. Don't worry, our Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with the previous Ming Cult. Now is the time when the people of the world need you. Your career is still limitless."
After hearing this, Liu Bowen was also frightened for a moment, and didn't know whether he should thank him or not.
Fortunately, Zhang Wuji did not give him time to think about these things. He continued to ask: "My dear, when will Zhu Yuanzhang open the city and surrender?"
"My army outside the city has been sleeping in the open air for many days. Tonight, I can wait until midnight at most. After midnight, my soldiers must enter the city."
Surrender is a somewhat shameful thing after all. After calming himself down, Liu Bowen gritted his teeth and said, "Well, please rest assured, Your Majesty, the soldiers defending the city will come out of the city and surrender before sunset this afternoon, before midnight tonight."
"There is just one thing I still want to make clear to Your Majesty."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "My dear, you are destined to be a member of the Ming Dynasty. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Liu Bowen gritted his teeth and decided to maintain some integrity. Zhu Yuanzhang had always been kind to him, and now that things had come to this, he had to say something.
Liu Bowen said: "Your Majesty, as I told you last night, Zhu Yuanzhang did make contributions after all, and you admitted it yourself last night."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Don't worry, what I said last night was sincere. Zhu Yuanzhang has made no contributions but no faults in matters of the world. Based on this point, I will definitely not embarrass him. As for the matter of face, you can rest assured. I will not kill any of the Wei soldiers in Xinwu City who lay down their weapons."
"Also, I will keep my promise to Zhu Yuanzhang last night regarding the King of Wei. I will find him a big house in Beijing, and naturally I will provide him with money, women, and other things."
Liu Bowen kowtowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Well, then it is settled. Today, before sunset, the army in Xinwu City will lay down their arms."
…
About a quarter of an hour later, Liu Bowen returned to Xinwu City again.
Everything had been basically settled, but even if it was done, it would be more embarrassing than if it wasn't. At this time, when Liu Bowen faced Zhu Yuanzhang again, he actually felt a little guilty.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Sir, you don't need to think too much. You are a useful person to the world. Whether it is the Wei Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, there will always be a place for you."
"As for me, don't feel sorry for me. You have done a good job. Just based on the show you put on this morning by gathering people together, it is enough for me to remember your kindness."
"But, from today on, everyone in the world will only know that it was you who begged me to surrender. Otherwise, I will definitely fight to the death with Zhang Wuji."
Liu Bowen quickly knelt on the ground and said: "Of course, Your Majesty, you are so righteous. As long as I can save my life, I will be able to make a comeback in the future."
"Make a comeback?" Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment. He no longer wanted to talk about the issue of making a comeback.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's mind was in turmoil. Scenes from the past appeared before his eyes, as if they had just happened yesterday.
"Sir, you can arrange the surrender. Let the Ming army outside the city enter before dark today. I am tired and want to take a nap."
Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was full of loneliness.
Liu Bowen quickly grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's wrist and said, "Your Majesty, things have come to this point. You have done nothing wrong. Even your surrender today was urged by me and the military leaders in Xinwu City. You must not do anything stupid. What I said to you before may not be nonsense. Let's stabilize it for a few years first. There may be opportunities in a few years."
