Eight years later, in the Southern Xinjiang Imperial Palace.
Inside the Golden Throne Hall, Southern Xinjiang Emperor Jiang Shiliang nervously grasped the golden dragon-headed armrests of the dragon throne. With a grim expression, he questioned those around him, "Why hasn't the Saint Daughter arrived yet? Didn't we send someone to urge her a long time ago?"
Everyone lowered their heads and no one dared to speak.
The saint never showed up, and they had already had bad guesses in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say them out loud.
Jiang Shiliang also had some guesses in his mind, but he was unwilling to admit it.
Seeing them all hunched over like turtles, he couldn't help but fly into a rage. He slammed the armrest and cursed, "Have you all gone mute? Weren't you all talkative before? Why aren't you talking now?"
No one spoke.
Now that the Xia army is at the gates of the city and has brought terrible firearms, what else can they say?
The only thing they can hope for now is that the Saint can take action and use the poisonous insects to destroy those terrible Xia troops!
Once Xia Jun dies, they will not only be able to escape, but they may also be able to obtain Xia Jun's powerful firearms and have their craftsmen imitate them.
As long as the craftsmen can imitate the Xia army's firearms, southern Xinjiang will have such powerful weapons and naturally will no longer have to fear the Xia army.
Even though Xia Jun was outside, some people were already imagining a bright future.
"Report——"
"Your Majesty—Your Majesty—something terrible has happened—the Xia army—the Xia army has entered the city—"
The sudden scream completely shattered their beautiful fantasy.
Jiang Shiliang's expression instantly turned extremely ugly. He seemed to have been suddenly ripped out of his bones, and he collapsed dejectedly on the dragon throne. "How could it be... How could this happen... Even if the Xia army had powerful firearms, they shouldn't have been able to break through the city so quickly... Where are the defenders? And Meng Hu, what on earth is he doing for a living——"
Jiang Shiliang almost roared out loud when he said the last sentence.
Meng Hu was the defender of the capital and was very brave. Jiang Shiliang thought he could hold on for a while longer, but who knew that he would be defeated so easily by the Xia army!
"Your Majesty—the Xia army is coming—Your Majesty, please flee quickly—"
The eunuch's shrill screams were heard outside.
Jiang Shiliang's face turned pale, and he subconsciously wanted to get up and run away.
Unexpectedly, his legs went weak and he rolled off the dragon throne.
Everyone in the hall immediately exclaimed: "Your Majesty——"
The high crown on Jiang Shiliang's head fell to the ground, and his originally tied bun was instantly scattered, making him look particularly embarrassed.
"Be careful, Your Majesty!"
Gao Taisheng quickly helped him up, while advising him, "Your Majesty, you can't leave!"
Jiang Shiliang was about to lose his temper when he heard Gao Shengtai continue, "Your Majesty, you are safest only if you stay here!
The Emperor of Xia cares about his reputation. As long as Your Majesty pretends to lead us to surrender, the Emperor of Xia will not treat Your Majesty badly for the sake of the people of southern Xinjiang and his own reputation. Instead, he will allow Your Majesty to continue to govern southern Xinjiang.
In this way, His Majesty will still be the ruler of Southern Xinjiang and can continue to reap benefits from the Xia Kingdom. Southern Xinjiang is already remote, and the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom has no control over it.
Once Southern Xinjiang learns how to make firearms, why should it still be afraid of the Xia Kingdom?
But if Your Majesty leaves now, the Xia army will definitely take the opportunity to eliminate Your Majesty! Completely eliminate the hidden dangers! "
Jiang Shiliang was very excited after hearing this, but he was still undecided.
What would he do if Xia Jun refused to let him go after he stayed?
Just as he was hesitating, more ministers came to persuade Jiang Shiliang not to run away.
Jiang Shiliang looked at the ministers in the hall and finally made up his mind.
"Since that's the case, I will surrender to the Emperor of Xia and express my willingness to submit!"
He said this almost through gritted teeth.
He felt extremely humiliated just thinking that he, the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang, would not only have to kneel down to the Emperor of Xia in the future, but would also only be able to be a King of Southern Xinjiang.
But compared to death, he is willing to endure humiliation!
Gao Shengtai was right. If he escaped now, his life would most likely be in danger and the Xia army would take the opportunity to get rid of him.
It is better to surrender voluntarily, stay useful, endure hardships, and wait for the future!
Having made up his mind, Jiang Shiliang immediately had someone help him back to sit on the dragon throne, and sent someone outside to tell Xia Jun that he was willing to surrender.
Then, loud shouts were heard from outside.
"Your Majesty of Nanjiang is willing to submit to the Emperor of Xia. Please do not harm anyone!"
"Your Majesty of Nanjiang is willing to submit to the Emperor of Xia. Please do not harm anyone!"
"Your Majesty of Nanjiang is willing to submit to the Emperor of Xia. Please do not harm anyone!"
The palace guards had already been frightened and retreated step by step, barely maintaining their formation. Because of the terrifying firearms in the hands of the Xia army, no one dared to step forward to fight.
Some archers wanted to launch a sneak attack, but were killed directly by the firearms in the hands of the Xia army, which scared the others so much that they dared not take action again.
Hearing the shout, the palace guards subconsciously turned around and saw that the person coming was Jiang Shiliang's confidant, and they felt inexplicably relieved.
Since Your Majesty is willing to surrender, do they all have to die?
At the same time, Song Xingzhou, who was riding on his horse, laughed sarcastically and asked lazily, "Is Jiang Shiliang really willing to surrender?"
He was wearing heavy armor that covered his entire face, leaving only his eyes exposed.
The visitor could not see his appearance clearly, but only felt that Song Xingzhou riding on the horse was extremely mighty, like a peerless killing god.
He couldn't help but look towards Song Xingzhou's side, and saw a woman riding on a horse. She was not wearing any armor, only a red cloak.
The large hood covering her head made it difficult to see her face.
What’s even more bizarre is that there is a majestic white wolf standing next to the horse.
As soon as he looked over, the white wolf looked at him fiercely, as if it was going to pounce on him and tear him to pieces in the next moment!
The man was so frightened that he took a step back and almost fell to the ground.
He guessed the identity of this woman!
She is Princess Fu'an of Xia Kingdom!
It is said that anyone who offends her will have no good ending!
It was because of her that the State of Yan was destroyed by the Xia army!
Now, she actually came to Southern Xinjiang in person!
No, there were rumors that she had come to Southern Xinjiang with the Xia army! That was why the Xia army had such an easy time defeating them, advancing like a broken bamboo.
But no one wants to believe that Princess Fu'an could really be so evil.
He didn't really believe it at first, but now... he believed it.
If she wasn't absolutely sure, how could Princess Fu'an dare not wear armor?
Even if she dared not to wear it, the Xia army soldiers would not dare to let her take the risk!
The visitor bowed cautiously, his posture extremely respectful. "Your servant greets Princess Fu'an! Everything I just said is true. Your Majesty is willing to submit to the Emperor of Xia. Please restrain the Xia army and refrain from harming anyone."
"As long as they are willing to lay down their weapons, kneel on the ground, and put their hands on their heads, the Xia army will naturally not kill them."
As soon as Xie Ying finished speaking, someone dropped his weapon.
Then more and more people dropped their weapons.
Immediately afterwards, the palace guards knelt on the ground and held their heads in their hands.
Xie Ying glanced at these people with satisfaction, and then said to them, "Lead the way, and let me see the sincerity of your Southern Xinjiang Emperor's surrender."
The visitor quickly led the way: "Your Highness, please."
