Zhou Ruolan is extremely smart, and obviously will not directly tell Bai Lidu how to choose, but replied like this:

"Well, I guess you should already have a choice in your heart, whether you accept or not accept the other party's surrender, we have already won this war, but since the game will give these two choices, there must be their own logic behind them."

"Well, that makes sense...... Bai Lidu nodded.

Zhou Ruolan continued: "I remember learning when I was in school that the essence and purpose of war are often to obtain and maintain political status and economic interests, to put it bluntly, it is for two things, either power or money, anyway, it is all about interests, so on the battlefield, there is not only one way to kill the enemy, if we really want to make a choice, it should also be to see which choice is most beneficial to us." ”

"Wow, Sister Ruolan, what you said is really good." Crystal Yu exclaimed.

"Well, what Ruolan said is really reasonable." The cold moon and autumn snow also echoed.

"Then you two talk about it, what is the best choice for us?" Bai Lidu's previous thoughts were also shaken, so he asked Crystal Youyou and Leng Yue Qingqiu Xue.

"Well, Ruolan's words reminded me of a very old science fiction movie I watched recently, and there is a classic line in it, that is, 'war does not make heroes, only orphans and widows are left', in my opinion, it is best for us to accept surrender." Leng Yue Qing Qiuxue was the first to answer.

"Well, Sister Leng, is this movie called "Advent", I've seen it before, in fact, it has been said on the prompt just now, if you accept surrender, in addition to the fact that this war will stop, these captured British and French troops will become an important bargaining chip in negotiations, if you kill them all, it will be happy, but the bargaining chips for negotiation are gone, although we can also get some equipment or props from the boss, but it doesn't seem to be anything good, modern wars rely on firearms and thermal weapons, the things that drop are usually of little use to us retro people. Crystal Yoyo also showed his attitude.

"Then Crystal Youyou, do you mean to accept surrender?" Bai Lidu confirmed.

"Well, I agree with Sister Leng and accept the surrender."

"Ruolan, then let's choose to accept surrender together."

"Good!"

The four reached a unanimous opinion, and all of them chose to [accept surrender]

- System prompt: After the vote of all players in the current vision dungeon, the result is: 4 people chose to accept surrender, 0 people chose not to accept surrender, and finally passed the resolution of [Accept Surrender].

- Vision: Announcement: All players should note that the surrender request made by the Anglo-French alliance has been voted by all players and selected to accept it, the task completion conditions of the ultimate mission [Final Decisive Battle] have been changed, the fighting on the current battlefield has been stopped immediately, and the 1586 soldiers of the Anglo-French alliance and 18 officers and generals at all levels who survive on the current battlefield have become prisoners of war and will be taken into custody by the Qing court.

The picture flashed, the soldiers of the British and French forces all raised their muskets above their heads, and Montauban, who was holding a white flag, led a group of officers to also walk out of the hollow phalanx, and one of them was carried out on a stretcher, and when these people were escorted in front of everyone, Bai Lidu also checked the name of the officer lying on the stretcher, that is, Grant, the commander of the British army who was shot through the chest by an arrow by himself, and the blood volume he showed was only more than 10,000 points.

Monk Grinqin had already returned to his horse, and at this time he said to Bai Lidu:

"Manager Li, you and these friends of yours not only killed the enemy bravely, but also made a plan, using the foreigners' own cannons to make them surrender obediently, and made such miraculous feats, the emperor will definitely be rewarded after he knows it, and I also ask Manager Li and a few of your friends to return to the Old Summer Palace with me to meet the saint."

- Quest Reminder: Due to the surrender of the Anglo-French forces, the completion conditions of the ultimate quest [The Final Battle] have been changed and completed, and you and your teammates have been rewarded with the quest of entering the Old Summer Palace to meet Emperor Xianfeng.

"Oh! Yes! You can enter the Old Summer Palace again. ”

"Well, that's pretty much it."

"I've never been to the Old Summer Palace......

"Well, although I've been in there for more than half an hour, I'm also busy with other things, and I haven't looked around."

Everyone followed behind Seng Lingqin, walking and talking all the way, and soon entered the Old Summer Palace, although dozens of villagers in Xie Zhuang could not all come in, but Feng Sanbao's father and daughter as representatives of the entire Xie Zhuang also followed into the garden.

Passed through the outermost city gate tower of the Old Summer Palace, and walked out of a distance, there is a magnificent palace gate, there is a river in front of the door, three stone bridges are erected on the river and communicate with the palace gate, everyone approached to take a look, and saw that there is a plaque with the words "enter and exit virtuous" written on the door.

After entering this gate, you will see a splendid hall, introduced by the monk Greenqin, here is the emperor usually goes to the court and receives the ministers [Zhengda Guangming Palace].

Bai Lidu originally thought that Emperor Xianfeng would also meet a few players here, but it turned out that it was not, it seems that the system also intends to arrange for everyone to visit the Old Summer Palace, under the leadership of Monk Greenqin all the way, everyone has basically visited the Old Summer Palace, in fact, there are also heavily armed Qing soldiers everywhere in the Old Summer Palace, if the British and French forces really attack, they will inevitably be resisted.

The place where everyone finally arrived was relatively remote, where there was a building that looked obviously Western-style, and Emperor Xianfeng was standing by a gorgeous fountain in front of this Western-style building, with his back to everyone.

Monk Lingqin stepped forward quickly, knelt down and said: "Emperor Qi, the ministers have not failed in their mission, and have defeated the invading British and French forces, and captured more than 1,500 people on the other side, and General Manager Li and several of his friends went to the battlefield in person, killed the enemy bravely, and also used the captured foreign cannons to shell the enemy camp, so that the enemy army ......."

Bai Lidu took advantage of this gap to observe the surroundings, and saw that the shape of the pool in front of Emperor Xianfeng was very unique, with a petal-shaped stone altar in the center, which was spraying water outward at the moment, and there was a huge shell-shaped stone trough in the innermost center, which was also flowing into the pool at this moment, and on both sides of the shell there was a row of stone statues sitting upright, but the head of each stone statue was not humanoid, it seemed to be animal, and they all looked different......

"Ahh It's the zodiac! "Crystal Yuyu recognized the stone statues in this pool at a glance.

"Well, the Zodiac Hydraulic Clock of the Old Summer Palace" Leng Yue Qing Qiuxue also recognized it.

"Then this is the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace," Zhou Ruolan also said immediately.

Bai Lidu also naturally knows the relevant allusions about the 12 zodiac signs of the Old Summer Palace, after the British and French forces captured the Old Summer Palace, they basically looted all the things that could be taken away in the garden, and the 12 zodiac animal heads in this fountain in front of them were naturally not spared, all of them were robbed by these robbers, and since then the 12 zodiac animal heads have been lost overseas, and for a long time afterward, the Chinese people are making various efforts to recover all the 12 zodiac animal heads, with the joint efforts of Chinese officials and civil organizationsIn 2015, Huaxia Kingdom only recovered eight of them, and in the next 60 years, two more were recovered, and the two pieces that have always been missing are sheep heads and dog heads.
