Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 240 The Surrender

Some people were already shocked by her look, but some still tried to refute her: "Why do you say that?"

Ju Liancheng responded in Lu Guoyu: "She is not kidding you. Let's not talk about whether the Wu people are honest or not. Even if they spare your lives, they will take you as slaves. If you hand over General Pei, General Han may be able to bear it, but Duke Duan Ding, Prince Qilu and His Majesty Tianyao will definitely slaughter all those who have forced Pei Nai!"

"Why? Just because of her beautiful face that brings disaster?" a woman cursed.

Ju Liancheng found it funny. These people were simply unreasonable. "Your country was destroyed by the Wu tribe. Your biggest enemy is right outside right now. Instead of pointing your swords at them, you are frightened by their threats and are ready to hand over the only person in the world who has the hope of disintegrating the Wu tribe and the Western Alliance. Is this the blood of you Lu people? It's a pity that Pei Nai was still thinking about your future before entering the secret realm!"

These words caused the whole audience to be silent.

Chai Yaojin explained to everyone: "He is right. Even the monk Zhongchuan redeemed his life to General Pei. This can only mean one thing. She is the last hope of the entire Shangbei Continent."

Seeing Chai Yaojin standing on her side, the man named Ao Dongli from yesterday started to take the lead in making trouble.

He shouted: "What is the last hope of the Upper North Continent? What kind of storm can a woman like her stir up?!"

Ao Dongli incited the crowd again, saying, "Don't believe him, Chai Yaojin has long been confused and controlled by this woman and that damn old bald donkey!"

Chai Yaojin was too disdainful to argue with him. He just looked around and said to all the survivors of the Lu Kingdom, "Aren't you tired of this life of hiding from place to place and not having enough food?"

"Our motherland is right under our feet, and the enemy is just across the way. Why should we be so shackled and live like thieves on our own land?! Master Ju is right to scold us! Where is your blood? How long has it been since you walked on your homeland with an open mind?!"

His sharp eyes swept over everyone, "If you still have some energy in your hearts and don't want to be slaves of the Wu tribe, then follow us and fight this battle to turn the tide. When the reinforcements arrive, we will regain our freedom!"

These words of warning are powerful and powerful.

People looked at each other, and many people's eyes became firm and no longer hesitant.

No one dared to drive Pei Nai away, because compared with being a slave, the hope of redemption, although slim, was bright.

"You are looking for death! Why would Qilu send troops here for such a woman?!" Ao Dongli struggled and shouted.

He also brought together his small group.

Those people stood behind him, looking at Pei Nai and others with hatred.

The woman who had laughed at Pei Nai yesterday said beside Ao Dongli: "You want to die, don't drag us down with you, open the mountain gate and let us out!"

Surrender? Pei Nai couldn't help but smile contemptuously.

Across the street was their blood feud enemy, Yue Siji, one of the most brutal generals in the West.

At this moment, they are still vainly seeking to surrender to the enemy.

"Open the door and let them go!" Chai Yaojin stopped trying to stop them and said to everyone present, "Anyone who doesn't want to fight can leave now!"

Ao Dongli and the woman both seemed relieved.

They exchanged glances and turned away. More than ten people followed them, preparing to go downstairs and leave.

Before leaving, these people gave Pei Nai and the others a last look.

"Should we set off the fireworks to ask for help now?" Ju Liancheng asked Pei Nai after seeing that all those who opposed had left.

Pei Nai was not in a hurry at this time.

After all, Ao Dongli and others were about to leave. She was not as cold-blooded as them. If she lit the fireworks now, the Wu clan would be directly angered and would not listen to the requests of those who surrendered.

"Give them a chance and see if they can survive by surrendering?" Pei Nai said.

Ju Liancheng sneered and waited for the outcome of Ao Dongli and his group.

Pei Nai suddenly remembered something and asked him, "By the way, do you also speak Lu Mandarin?"

"My father forced me to learn all the languages known in the world. After all, I can remember them no matter how he taught me. He felt that it would be a waste if I didn't learn them." Ju Liancheng said helplessly.

Pei Nai's eyes lit up.

Ju Liancheng glared at her, "Don't even think about asking me to be your translator, no way."

Faced with a powerful enemy, Pei Nai and Ju Lian Cheng showed no signs of nervousness, which made the people around them somewhat confused.

Chai Yaojin asked everyone to ready their bows and arrows and be ready to meet the enemy at any time.

Then he looked at Pei Nai with some worry in his eyes, "General Pei, will the reinforcements from Qilu really come?" "Yes, I'm sure. Their generals are people I can trust." Pei Nai answered him.

Ju Liancheng also nodded and said in Lu Mandarin: "After all, she has even taken the 鶴环, which Qilu person would dare not come?"

Chai Yaojin stood there in a daze.

All those who knew the background of Yu Huan opened their eyes wide in astonishment and looked over at the same time.

Tu Xun, who was standing by, had his pupils dilated and shaking.

Pei Nai's eyebrows twitched, and he glanced at Ju Liancheng, "Do you think I can't understand Lu Guoyu?"

"Can you understand?" Ju Liancheng asked back, obviously not trusting her brain.

Pei Nai glared at him, "I can do it now. This is a small gift from Senior Zhong."

Ju Liancheng coughed and acted as if nothing had happened, as if he had not said anything.

"But, isn't General Pei's husband Duke Duan Ding? Why is he related to Emperor Qilu?" Chai Yaojin was confused.

Pei Nai could only frown and explain: "The Hu Huan was given to me by the current Qilu Crown Prince Da Xi'an. At that time, Gongyang Zisheng was seriously injured and I was needed to lead the troops temporarily. The Hu Huan has been returned to him. There is no other connection."

"Do you think everyone believes this?" Ju Liancheng said calmly.

Pei Nai glared at him again.

Fortunately, Chai Yaojin and the others did not ask any more questions. He nodded and looked out the circular window awkwardly.

However, there were two people from Lu who did not understand Tianyao language and still thought that Pei Nai could not understand their language, so they talked to each other, and the conversation was heard by Pei Nai and others.

"What is a 鶈环?" someone asked.

Another person answered him: "It is equivalent to giving half of the imperial seal to his only wife."

Pei Nai lowered his head in embarrassment, wishing he could slap Ju Liancheng.

Fortunately, this strange atmosphere soon passed because the main gate of Linluyuan was opened a narrow crack.

Ao Dongli and his group left the gate one by one and walked slowly towards Yuesi Ridge.

Seeing someone coming out, Yue Siji pulled the reins and changed direction.

His eyes were full of interest, with an arrogant smile on his face. He tightly grasped the two wheels of karma destruction, looking forward to Pei Nai's appearance.

But more than ten people came out one after another, and none of them was the one he was waiting for.

The door closed again behind these people.

He glanced at the four women, his smile gradually disappeared, and a sinister light appeared in his eyes.

Yue Siji's face was extremely gloomy, and he looked straight at the surrendering survivor in front of him.

Ao Dongli and the woman had ingratiating smiles on their faces.

All the horses around were silent, and the crowd was silent.

At the quietest moment in the valley, everyone could even hear their voices.

"General Yue, the criminal Pei Nai is inside." Ao Dongli said in the Wu language, raising his hands to show his sincerity, "We give up resistance and stand with you and the Wu tribe. Please don't kill us!"

It was only when he mentioned Pei Nai that Yue Si Ji became somewhat interested.

"Have you seen Pei Nai? The mountain was blown up, but she smelled Linshang water and didn't die?" Yue Siji was riding on a tall horse, looking down at him, with a smile in his eyes again, and asked him in the Wu language.

Yue Siji paid attention to him, which made Ao Dongli a little excited, as if he had successfully stood on their side.

Ao Dongli was eager to provide more information: "Yes, she came to the fortress the day before yesterday. It is said that the old bald monk Zhongchuan redeemed his life for her, so she got her life back. Don't worry, the bitch is alone and weak now. I don't think she has much ability. She relies on her beauty to seduce people to get to the top. I believe you will soon-"

He was halfway through his words when his right arm and entire right shoulder were cut by a flying wheel that came out of nowhere.
