My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne
Chapter 218 I’m here to take you home
After entering the city, Xue Wuji immediately issued an order, "All soldiers, listen to my order. Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who stubbornly resist will be killed without mercy!"
Murong Nan stood on the city wall, holding a loudspeaker and repeating his words over and over again, "Soldiers of Jicheng, please listen carefully, your families are safe! The entire Jicheng is now surrounded by a large army! General Xue has ordered that those who surrender will not be killed. Everyone, please lay down your weapons quickly, and don't think about it and destroy yourself! Soldiers of Jicheng, please listen carefully, your families are safe..."
The soldiers of Jicheng listened to the movement on the city wall and hesitated for a moment, their hands holding their weapons dropping. "What should we do now? Should we continue to fight?"
"Why fight? I heard the general has already sent someone to secretly send *** and their son away! He's made all the arrangements for his family, but he's leaving us here to fight to the death. Does he really think we're fools?"
Wang Dali had changed into the clothes of the Jicheng guards at some point and mixed in with the crowd to encourage everyone to surrender.
Qingfeng beside him nodded hurriedly, "Princess Qinghe has already rescued the hostages that Jiang Yuanshan had imprisoned. Jiang Yuanshan just wants us little guys to work for him and fulfill his dream of dominating the northern border and becoming a local tyrant. He never considered that all we want is to live and work in peace!"
"Brothers! General Xue said that those who surrender will not be killed. Let's surrender!"
"The army has already invaded. What's the point of our desperate struggle? Besides, before I was transferred to the Northern Frontier, I fought under General Yu. Back then, we killed enemies who invaded Jiuzhou! How can we turn swords, spears, and halberds on our own people now?"
"You're right! Let's stop fighting and quickly find a white cloth to hang up!"
Those who gain the way help more, those who lose the way help few.
Jiang Yuanshan wants to sacrifice the entire Northern Frontier army for his own selfish reasons. He is simply dreaming!
As the Northern Frontier Army laid down their weapons and surrendered, Jiang Yuanshan watched his close associates fall one after another.
"General, we can't hold on any longer! I will cover your escape, please leave quickly...ah!"
Before the last confidant could finish his words, a long arrow hit him hard in the chest.
Bang!
Jiang Yuanshan watched him die in front of him, then looked down at the sea of corpses and blood at his feet, his face ashen.
Now he was isolated and helpless, and Xue Wuzhi was leading a group of people towards him.
"Jiang Yuanshan! Surrender your weapons and we will not kill you!"
Jiang Yuanshan watched them getting closer and closer, and his heart was filled with sorrow.
He was so tired that he could hardly straighten his back and could not swing the spear in his hand.
Jiang Yuanshan slammed the spear into the ground, then raised his head and glared at Xue Wuji, who was several feet away from him, and shouted, "Come on! I want to see what you, a young boy, are capable of!"
Xue Wuji met his wide eyes, leaped up, and swung the sword in his hand.
A cold light flashed in Jiang Yuanshan's eyes. He looked up at the sword that was coming towards his head and hurriedly raised the spear in his hand.
when!
The moment the long sword fell, Jiang Yuanshan felt a numbness in his palm, and the spear in his hand instantly broke into two pieces.
He held a broken gun in one hand and continued to fight with Xue Wuzhi.
Unfortunately, he was exhausted and his hands moved slower and slower.
Xue Wuzhi fought with him for several rounds, found the right moment, and stabbed his sword at his vital points.
Pfft!
With the dull sound of the long sword piercing into flesh, Jiang Yuanshan's movement of raising his hand suddenly stopped.
He slowly lowered his head, looked at the sword that pierced his abdomen, and opened his mouth.
Xue Wuzhi glanced at him, exerted force, and pulled the sword out of his body again.
"puff!"
Jiang Yuanshan was in so much pain that he vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot.
He tried to stop the blood gushing out with his trembling hands, but the bright red blood flowed out from between his fingers.
In the blink of an eye, his battle robe was dyed blood red.
Boom!
Jiang Yuanshan's body swayed, and he fell straight back to the ground.
He opened his eyes wide and stared at the eastern sky.
The sky was already turning pale, and the rosy rays of light pierced through the clouds, pouring down with magnificent rays of light, illuminating the earth bit by bit.
It turns out that the sunrise is so beautiful. He has never noticed it before, and he will never have the chance to appreciate such a beautiful scenery again.
Jiang Yuanshan slowly raised his hand, trying to catch the light.
However, just when his hand was halfway raised, it suddenly fell down heavily and he completely lost his breath.
He died under Xue Wuzhi's sword.
His eyes were wide open and he was still staring blankly.
……
The moment Murong Ye led Murong Mian and his mother out of the secret passage, Xue Youli, who was squatting outside the exit of the secret passage, sprinkled a bag of medicine powder on their heads, knocking them all unconscious.
Xue Youli looked at the few people who had fainted and said to Chu Xinyue and Yu Minyan behind him, "Done! Let's tie them up and take them all back!"
Yu Minyan followed the two of them and discovered that war could be fought without bloodshed.
This method also minimized the casualties among the soldiers of Jiuzhou!
It also saved many families from disaster and reduced the pain of their families being torn apart and their loved ones being killed.
An hour later, Murong Ye suddenly woke up from his coma.
When he raised his hands, he found that his hands and feet were locked with heavy iron chains.
He opened his eyes and looked around, only to find himself locked in a cell.
He used all his strength with both hands, but the chains that bound him did not budge at all.
The wound on his abdomen burst open again, and his outer robe was stained with blood.
His hair was disheveled, his handsome face was pale, and he had dark stubble on his chin. He looked more miserable and disheveled than ever before.
"Is there anyone here? Someone come! Someone come!"
Murong Ye rushed to the cell door and yelled outside, "Xue Youli! I know you're here! Get out!"
When Chu Xinyue ordered people to throw Murong Ye into the cell, Xue Youli also followed.
At this time, Xue Youli heard Murong Ye calling his name, and he stood up and walked towards the cell where he was imprisoned.
"You have come to Northern Frontier as expected!" When Murong Ye saw her, he knew that he had guessed right.
Murong Nan and Chu Xinyue are both brave but foolish. He has been frustrated again and again, and it is all because of this woman!
Murong Ye thought of this and looked at Xue Youli with hatred in his eyes. "Xue Youli, I have no grudge against you. Why did you force me into this situation?"
Xue Youli met his hateful gaze and replied word for word, "For your own selfish desires, you collaborated with the enemy, betrayed your country, and murdered your brothers and sisters. Your crimes are too numerous to list. How dare you question me?"
Upon hearing this, Murong Ye clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "In terms of military strategy, courage, and strategy, Murong Che is inferior to me in every way. Just because I'm not the legitimate son, I have to miss the throne. I refuse to accept it!"
"Murong Ye, you're wrong! Murong Che eliminated powerful ministers, stabilized the government, quelled civil unrest, and expanded the territories. He's been on the throne for just over a year, but he's accomplished a lot. He's respected by the people and trusted by his ministers. Although he was a young emperor appointed in a time of crisis, everything he's done is worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of the ancestors of the Murong family, and even more so, worthy of the people of Jiuzhou. He's a good emperor!"
good emperor?
Is Murong Che a good emperor?
Murong Ye listened to Xue Youli praising Murong Che and repeated the last sentence in his heart. All the resentment in his chest suddenly disappeared.
Xue Youli's heroic appearance was reflected in his pupils. He raised his head and laughed so hard that tears came out.
He laughed for a long time before pausing, staring at Xue Youli with a piercing gaze. "Since ancient times, great things have always required bloodshed and sacrifice! I killed people to ascend the throne, which is a heinous crime. But do you know how many people Queen Mother Yin killed to make Murong Che emperor?"
"So what? All I see is a stable country and a peaceful life for the people."
Xue Youli knew very well what imperial power meant to these princes.
Murong Ye sneered, as if accepting his fate, and sighed dejectedly.
He was silent for a long moment before he softly said, "The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. I am not as skilled as you. However, I didn't lose to Murong Che, I just lost to you."
In his opinion, the only thing that made Murong Che better than him was that Murong Che had Xue Youli's help, while he didn't.
Xue Youli stood before him, separated from him by the wooden bars of the cell. "Murong Ye, do you have any last words?"
Murong Ye raised the corner of his lips bitterly, "If I don't succeed, I will die. This king has nothing to say!"
He planned carefully at every step, but ended up with nothing. How sad and ridiculous!
Xue Youli looked at the self-deprecating expression on his handsome face and had nothing to say to him.
"Ayue, let's go back."
Chu Xinyue had been sitting on a wooden bench in the corner. When she heard Xue Youli calling her, she stood up and walked to Xue Youli. She glanced at Murong Ye out of the corner of her eye and suddenly stopped.
She suddenly turned her head and stared at Murong Ye again and again, with deep shock in her eyes, but soon she showed an expression of sudden realization.
Xue Youli looked at the change in her expression and raised his eyebrows in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Chu Xinyue glanced at Murong Ye a few more times, then pulled Xue Youli out of the prison. "Ali, do you know? The halo of the protagonist above Murong Ye's head has disappeared!"
Murong Ye is the chosen male protagonist of this novel world. They have fought with Murong Ye so many times and finally defeated him completely!
Xue Youli recalled Murong Ye's miserable appearance and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It seems that his luck is really over this time."
The two of them walked back and discussed when to return to Beijing. At this moment, Xue Youli heard a familiar voice calling him.
"Ali!"
Xue Youli raised her head, and when her eyes met Murong Che's tender peach blossom eyes, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, "Your Majesty!"
Chu Xinyue was very understanding. After greeting Murong Che, she whispered in Xue Youli's ear, "I won't disturb you and your emperor from your lovey-dovey relationship! Let's go!"
"I, my concubine, meet the Emperor!"
Xue Youli looked at the man walking towards her and bowed to him.
Murong Che took a step forward and reached out to help her up.
He lowered his eyes and glanced at the beautiful face of the person in front of him, his eyes full of heartache and longing, "Ali, you've lost weight!"
Xue Youli blinked and replied with a smile, "Northern Frontier is colder than the capital. Plus, after I arrived, I missed the emperor so much that I lost my appetite, so I naturally lost weight."
"You and Princess Qinghe both helped a lot in pacifying the northern border this time."
Xue Youli spread her hands in front of the man and tilted her head cunningly, "Then what reward does the emperor have?"
Murong Che took her hand and felt that her hand was a little cold, so he simply wrapped her hand tightly with both hands.
He leaned over and gently rubbed his forehead against hers, "I'll give you everything."
Xue Youli snorted softly when she heard this, "If the Emperor's possessions belong to me, then does the Emperor's private treasury also belong to me?"
Murong Che nodded without hesitation, his light peach eyes reflecting her smile, "Of course, as long as you want it, as long as I have it, it's all yours."
This was probably the most beautiful love words Xue Youli had ever heard.
She stood on tiptoe and kissed the man on the lips, "I thank the emperor! When I return to the palace, I will go to the private storehouse to pick out some beautiful jewelry!"
Murong Che pinched her face affectionately. "Not long after you left, the King of Nanzhao sent a lot of jewelry from the Nanzhao royal family. I think the styles are nice, so I'm keeping them all for you!"
I knew that the emperor treats me the best!
Xue Youli immediately curved her eyebrows and smiled very happily.
No woman can resist those beautiful glittering jewels.
After the two of them finished their affectionate conversation, they quickly got back to business. "Your Majesty, Jiang Yuanshan has died in battle, and his wife, children, and Murong Ye are all imprisoned. What do you plan to do with them?"
"Jiang Yuanshan is guilty of treason and according to the laws of the Nine Continents, he should be executed along with his entire clan. However, considering that the rest of the Jiang family did not collude with Jiang Yuanshan, their death penalty will be pardoned and they will be exiled to Lingnan. As for Murong Mian and Jiang Guangzong, who knew about the incident but did not report it, they will be guilty of the same crime as Jiang Yuanshan and will be executed after the new year!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Xue Youli just wanted to ask him how he planned to deal with Jiang Yuanshan’s wife and children. She was relieved when she heard that they were all sentenced to death.
As the saying goes, if you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze. Murong Mian even wants to use her own brother, which shows that she is also an ambitious woman.
She and Jiang Yuanshan's son was already in his teens, and at an age where he could understand things. If he showed any compassion, there was no guarantee that he would not want to avenge his parents in the future.
Once he gathers his troops, a major battle is inevitable. Therefore, this boy must not be allowed to stay!
Murong Che listened to her thoughts, curled his lips slightly, and explained why he made the decision to kill Jiang Yuanshan's wife and children. "Xia and Jiang Yuanshan are very affectionate. If I let her and Jiang Guangzong go, there is no guarantee that there won't be another Jiang Yuanshan in the future. Before I am Murong Mian's brother, I am first and foremost an emperor. I have a responsibility to the people of the world. Letting them go? I can't afford to take that risk."
As the monarch of Jiuzhou, he possesses supreme power, but also shoulders the responsibility of maintaining peace in the world.
He has a responsibility to his people.
"Your Majesty, Murong Ye is imprisoned in the prison over there. Do you need to see him one last time?"
Murong Che fixed his gaze on her face, his voice deep and gentle, "No, I came to Northern Frontier this time to take you home."
Xue Youli stared at the man, completely unaware that she had unknowingly become greedy for the man's warmth.
After a moment, she raised the corners of her mouth little by little, "Okay, let's go home together!"
