Chapter 400

When Ye Mo reported the situation on the front line to the Snow Monarch, the ministers below were shocked, and many people couldn't help but scold those who surrendered to the army as traitors, but more people wanted to know how the Snow Monarch decided.

"Your Majesty, is it to withdraw or surrender?" asked an elderly minister, and then the entire hall fell silent. By this time, everyone in the hall knew that their Snow Country had come to the end.

The Snow Emperor sat on the dragon chair with a serious face, the Snow Country had been defeated, but the Snow Emperor still had a lot to consider. If the snow country falls, it will offend the Qingyuan country, if it does not fall, the only way to escape from the snow country as soon as possible and seek refuge in the neighboring country. No matter what choice is made, the Snow Emperor will no longer have his current status.

"What do you think?" At this moment, Qingyuan is no longer in the main hall when he joins the army, and the Snow Emperor wants to see what the ministers mean. When it comes to the key issue at hand, the ministers who originally scolded the surrendered army as traitors can no longer scold them, because the surrender is beneficial and harmless to those ministers, and they do not want to accompany the royal family to the disaster.

More importantly, based on their previous knowledge of the night army's style, many ministers knew that surrender would not die. If they follow the Snow Kingdom royal family to escape, they will end up being nothing more than vassals of the royal family. The Ye family couldn't even keep the imperial power, and many ministers naturally had to consider what the point of them doing so would be there.

"Your Majesty, the Qingyuan Great Power knew that our country was in danger of destroying the country but did not send troops to help, obviously it has abandoned my Snow Country, it is better for the Lord to surrender to the Night Country, presumably the Night Country will not be too embarrassed by the King. ”

"Your Majesty, the Night Kingdom has always adhered to the principle that those who surrender do not kill, as long as the monarch is willing to surrender, the royal family will definitely be saved. ”

"Your Majesty, you must not descend! Once you descend to the Night Kingdom, your status will definitely plummet. ”

"At the moment of life and death, why do you still care about status?"

"Your Majesty, if the Qingyuan Great Power sends troops to attack us, how can we stop it?"

"If the Qingyuan Great Power wants to send troops to attack the king, it will have to pass the night country, and besides, the Qingyuan Great Power is several countries away from our Snow Country, how can it send troops to attack me. ”

"The old lady doesn't need to say much, the night army is coming, and our situation is in danger. If the king is unwilling to surrender, I might as well stay and fight with the night army to the death. ”

"By no means, once this happens, the entire royal family of my Snow Country will definitely be destroyed. "Up and down the court, all the ministers expressed their opinions and suggested to the monarch of the Snow Country, each with their own opinions, but the opinions of the ministers The Snow Emperor did not want to hear it.

"Don't make a noise, everyone!" the court was full of commotion, and none of them could give an answer, and the Snow Emperor was very annoyed by this. After an angry roar, there was silence below.

"According to the prime minister's opinion, what should the emperor do?"

"If you want to return to the country in the future, you can first go to a neighboring country to take refuge for a while. If you don't want to ask your neighbors for help, you should surrender to the Night Country now. In the end, the royal family has a big business, and when the time comes, the night kingdom will take care of the king, and it will not be a problem to give the king a king, and the specific decision will be made by the king himself. ”

"The emperor can understand what the prime minister means, but how likely does the prime minister think the emperor will return to the country?"

"Judging from the current situation, unless the Qingyuan Great Power sends troops to help, with the remnants of its own country, no matter how the monarch agrees to their benefits, it is not very possible to restore the country. ”

"Prime Minister, do you mean it's a gamble to choose?"

"That's true in the current situation. ”

"It seems that the Emperor didn't actually have a choice," the Snow Emperor sighed, vaguely fully aware of his own situation.

The army has been completely lost, and the Snow Country has effectively existed in name only. Without an army, the Snow Emperor knew that all ideas were utopian. Judging from the news coming from all over the country in the past three months, those cities that have been under the jurisdiction of the Night Country, presumably no one will want to serve the Snow Country anymore, otherwise someone would have brought people to Zephyr City to help, but there are too few people who have rushed to help recently.

Since ancient times, in the Beiming Continent, each country has ruled like this. When the imperial power is there, all the people of the country must obey the will of the emperor. When the imperial power is gone, all the people in the country will make their own living, and the survival of the country has little to do with them in the end, unless it threatens their life and death.

This is the current situation in Snow Country, before the city of Zephyr was breached, many city lords were still willing to honor the call of the royal family. As soon as the city of Zephyr is broken, they will become grass on the wall, not thinking about which country they should be attached to, but more about how their family or themselves can survive in the current situation.

"Snow Country, Descend!" After thinking for a long time, the Snow Emperor slowly got up from the dragon chair, and in an instant he seemed to be ten years old. Originally, a man in his forties looked to be in his fifties, and the Snow Emperor's face was full of the kind of exhaustion that only comes after overwork.

"Your Majesty, you must not!"

"Never. ”

......

Those ministers who still wanted to restore the country spoke out to dissuade them, but in the eyes of the Snow Emperor, their dissuasion was nothing more than a few nonsense, and it had no effect.

"Ministers, the emperor has made up his mind, if you don't want to stay, you can leave the imperial city immediately," how to say that those ministers are all kind-hearted, and the Snow Emperor will not strictly reject their kindness.

"Prime Minister, you are responsible for surrendering as an envoy. ”

"Obey. ”

"Your Majesty, you must not," Seeing that the monarch of the Snow Country confirmed the will to surrender, those ministers who were still unwilling to surrender shouted bitterly, but there were more ministers in the court who remained silent, their fear of the night army was not the slightest, it was not easy to flee to a foreign land, and surrendering to the night country might be their best choice.

On the other side, after the Snow Emperor gave the order to surrender, he immediately turned around and left, wearing a dragon robe showing loneliness. As soon as the Snow Emperor left, some of the ministers in the court knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the dragon chair to persuade the monarch not to surrender, and some gathered in groups of three or five to discuss loudly the good or bad of their monarch's surrender, as well as the current situation, only the Prime Minister of the Snow Country left with a few ministers.

Not long after, before the night army that broke through the west wind city came to the palace gate, when the chariot carrying Zhao Wu came to the palace gate, all the flags of the snow country above the palace gate were gone, and the prime minister of the snow country held the jade seal in both hands, and the same minister knelt on the ground, waiting for Zhao Wu's arrival.

The chariot stopped, Zhao Wu got up and looked at the ministers in front of him, and saw at a glance the meaning of the Prime Minister of the Snow Country and others.

"Zhou Qiran, the prime minister of the Snow Country, was ordered by my emperor to send the jade seal here to wait for the marshal, and my emperor surrendered the whole country to the night country, and was willing to be the lord of the fief, and from then on he served the night country. ”

"Quasi," Zhao Wu did not respond, but the right minister of the Night Kingdom next to Zhao Wu replied in time. After getting the news of the night army's victory, the night country army and the right minister, who had been waiting for the news, rushed to Zephyr City as soon as possible.

A few months ago, they had already considered the possibility of the Snow Country's surrender, and now it was up to the Night Country's right minister to convey the will on behalf of the Night Country Sovereign.

At the same time, in the royal ancestral hall of the Snow Country, the Snow Emperor knelt in the hall and died with a sword. At this point, all the territories of the Snow Country were included in the territory of the Night Country, and the territory of the Night Country was doubled.

Everything was logical next, no matter how many ninth-order martial cultivators there were in the Snow Country, they could only endure it. Because the Beiming Continent has a clear law, ninth-order martial cultivators cannot interfere in political affairs. In addition, there is also a law between heaven and earth, once a ninth-order martial cultivator makes a move, their actions will be directly detected by the rules of heaven and earth. As soon as the punishment falls, the body will be seriously injured at the lightest, and the soul will be scattered.

In fact, although the ninth-order martial cultivator was an existence standing at the peak of the continent, it was also an embarrassing existence. They not only have to guard against being punished by heaven, but also have to find the divine machine that has ascended to the heavenly realm, but their lifespan is as limited as that of ordinary people.

The ninth-order martial cultivators in the world generally traveled in some wild locations on the Beiming Continent, looking for opportunities that would allow them to break through the bottleneck and ascend to the upper realm, and there might not even be a ninth-order martial cultivator in the snow country right now, so Zhao Wu was not worried that there would be a ninth-order martial cultivator coming out to make trouble.

After some time, the flags of the Night Kingdom were planted all over the imperial city, and the order to surrender the whole country spread to all directions. After the night army occupied Zephyr City, Zhao Wu was in charge of order in Zephyr City, and the right minister was in charge of all matters relating to the rights of Snow Country. In front of Zhao Wu and the right minister, no matter how high the status of the original ministers of the Snow Country was, now all rights have been deposed, only some people still retain a certain right to do things for the Night Country, and the others are very happy that they survived.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and after three days, everything in Zephyr City returned to normal, but now the person in charge was the right minister of the Night Kingdom.

After discussion, Zhao Wu asked those captives who were willing to join the army to join the army, and those who were unwilling to join the army left on their own, and in the end, half of them left and half stayed.

Not long after the order of the Snow Country was conveyed, the Right Prime Minister took the Night Country monarch to issue a message, all the people of the Snow Country have become the people of the Night Country, and everyone enjoys the protection of the rules and regulations of the Night Country, and the Night Army cannot do illegal acts against any people in the Snow Country, otherwise they will be dealt with according to law.

On the other hand, the people of the original Snow Country must also obey the laws of the Night Country, otherwise they will also be dealt with according to the law. Such information was written and posted in every corner of Zephyr City, and it will be posted all over every corner of Snow Country in the future, and the capture of Snow Country will be considered a successful conclusion at this time. Next, Zhao Wu will discuss with the generals about aiding the Lei country.

The Thunder Country and the Valley Country have been fighting for several months, but they have been in a stalemate situation, and now that the Night Country has moved forward, the Thunder Country also needs to make some achievements.

When Zhao Wu discussed with Youxiang and others to aid the Lei Kingdom, Lin Xuanzhong and them, after a few days of long travel, the group successfully passed through the fierce forest and returned to the fortress outside Cloud City. But a few people did not choose to return to the fortress directly, but turned their heads and rushed directly to Cloud City.
