Chapter 1191: Negotiation
A few minutes later, we walked to the gate of the Infinite City, and as the soldiers defending the city saluted, a man appeared in my sight.
He Xian was actually waiting here, I really didn't know what she was doing at the city gate.
I remember that after finishing the task of treating petrification, I let her rest and wander around.
I had the heart to go up and ask, but Bian Lusha was one step ahead of me and said, "Did you arrive early?" But are you in a hurry? ”
He Xian smiled slightly: "I just arrived." Door master, are you really going to persuade Li Zhong? It's a dangerous thing to do. ”
I smiled slightly, "Why are you here?" It can't be that you're going to see Li Zhong with me, right? ”
He Xian said: "I am indeed going to see Li Zhong, and he has sent me a letter, saying that he wants to thank me in person for saving him and his army. I can't refuse his thanks, so I'm going to meet this Li Zhong with the door master. ”
I frowned and said, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?" ”
He Xian smiled: "What are the consequences?" I'm just a healer, and no one will do anything to me. ”
I really wanted to say that it was inappropriate for He Xian to go to see Li Zhong, but Bian Lusha said: "If He Xian goes with us, there will be a greater chance to persuade Li Zhong to surrender." ”
I didn't understand what Bian Lusha meant, but listening to what she said next, I understood why She Xian went with us.
It turned out that Bian Lusha heard that Li Zhong's mother, the head of the Li family, had recently fallen ill.
Mrs. Li was dying of her life and was looking for a doctor to help with treatment, but the Li family was forced to transfer to Lijiabao, and the contact with the outside world was basically cut off, and the war was not over, so Li Zhong had no choice but to write a letter to invite He Xian and other doctors to go to Lijiabao to treat Mrs. Li.
He Xian was one of the doctors invited by Li Zhong, and he was also one of the doctors that Li Zhong valued the most, in addition to the letter, he also gave He Xian a promise, that is, no matter what, he would ensure He Xian's safety.
He Xian is safe, and the safety of me and Bian Lusha is also guaranteed, which is why He Xian wants to go with us.
He Xian must go with us, I know that I can't persuade her, so I can only acquiesce.
The three of us came to the entrance of Li Zhong's underground fortress together, explained our intentions, and after Li Jiajun's report, we entered Li Jiabao smoothly.
The scenery here is unique, the night pearl illuminates the entire underground river, and the soft night pearl light makes this place like a fairyland on earth.
Military tents were placed on both sides of the underground river, and in each tent there was a roaring fire to increase the temperature and light of the place.
In the faint light of the fire, some injured Li Jiajun were being treated by the Li family's doctors, and the occasional screams echoed in the ground, which made people feel excited.
All the officers and soldiers of the Li family army were as pale as earth, and they did not have any will to continue fighting, and even some of the commanders were full of disappointment.
When I saw Li Zhong in the big tent of the Chinese army, I was surprised to find that he was lying on the seat at this time, and his face was also full of earth.
When we arrived, Li Zhong reluctantly stood up, clenched his fists and said, "Is Your Royal Highness here to persuade you to surrender?" ”
I didn't expect Li Zhong to say this sentence himself, and after being slightly stunned, he said: "I do have this intention, the war between us has hurt too many innocent lives. For us immortal cultivators, this will be punished by the heavens. In order to conform to the way of heaven and reduce the killing, I decided to talk to you. ”
Li Zhong said: "Second Highness, please take a seat, we can talk about this matter slowly." ”
I sat down with a smile, Bian Lusha and He Xian also sat down beside me, I looked at Li Zhong and asked casually, "Is the head of the Li family sick?" ”
Li Zhong sighed, as if his body was too weak, and he was weak to speak: "Please listen to my second highness......"
I patiently listened to Li Zhong's story, and finally knew why Li Zhong became the way he is now, and why Li Jiajun looked like everyone looked full of earth.
After Li Zhong and the others came here, they thought that this was a treasure place for them to regain their vitality, and excitedly built a military camp and cast an underground fortress.
But they didn't expect that the water here was actually poisonous, after they drank it, everyone's complexion became like the color of earth, the meridians in the body were blocked, the aura was not running smoothly, and they gradually lost their combat effectiveness, and also lost most of their vitality.
Among them is Li Zhong's mother, the old lady of the Li family.
Listening to Li Zhong's words, I felt that Li Jiajun was punished by God and was on the verge of being completely finished.
When the Li family rebelled before, they occupied dozens of cities in a few days, and they were like a bamboo, and there was a tendency to completely defeat the Divine King's Mansion and become the new Divine King Family.
Now it is such a situation, it is really impermanent, and evil deeds will be rewarded.
Although this is my personal participation, and it is almost caused by my own hands, but from Li Zhong's point of view, I still feel that this is a bit miserable.
After Li Zhong finished speaking, I said with a straight face: "The head of the Li family told us this, is he already ready to surrender?" ”
Li Zhong sighed: "Do I have any other choice?" It's just that I also have a few conditions, and I hope that His Royal Highness will promise me for the sake of God's virtue of a good life. ”
I nodded, "You come and hear it." ”
Li Zhong said: "I hope that His Royal Highness will guarantee the lives of my brothers, which is the most important condition for our surrender." ”
I looked at Li Zhong: "The sergeants under your command can naturally avoid death." However, Li Zhong, you and the core children of the Li family, whether you can be spared death, I still need to ask the God King for instructions. ”
Li Zhong smiled bitterly: "Myself, I didn't plan to live for a long time...... Second Highness, the soldiers here are basically the core children of my Li family...... Please ask Your Highness to ask the God King now, if you can agree to this condition, we will have the possibility of continuing the talks. ”
I know that this is Li Zhong's bottom line, and I also know that if he can't guarantee the lives of his own people, it is impossible for him to surrender.
In front of Li Zhong, I used the messenger to contact the God King, and soon contacted the God King.
After knowing what Li Zhong meant, the God King surprised everyone, and not only forgave the lives of those Li family soldiers, but also forgave Li Zhong's lives.
Even though I didn't know why my father did this, I was happy to tell Li Zhong that the God King had decided to spare their lives.
Li Zhong was overjoyed, had some spirit, and continued to say to me with a smile: "Thank you, Second Highness, thank you God King." We will obey the God-King's arrangement, and it doesn't matter if we go to prison and work as coolies, as long as we are healed and given enough food. ”
I said, "This is natural, and the head of the Li family will do it if he doesn't say it." ”
