(Thank you for the living referee’s 50000 Yuan reward. Thank you for Qing tingfeng’s 10000 Yuan reward.)

He lost?

!!
He had lost!

The Zhu family’s decades of accumulation was destroyed in a day?

The overdraft of future political resources would also be completely in vain?

For this battle, Zhu Hong had almost lost his previous Supreme status and took the initiative to lower himself to deal with the nobles in the country.

For this battle, the Zhu family had almost mortgaged their family’s reputation to borrow money from the yin Yuan Association.

For this battle, Zhu Hong almost broke off all ties with the monarch.

He had paid such a huge price and lost?

He was already in his seventies.

When he heard this bad news, the blood vessels in his brain seemed to contract in an instant, and he almost had a stroke.

His entire body seemed to have lost its strength.

Then, his entire body turned cold.

In an instant, his vision turned black, as if he could not see anything.

At this age, he really couldn’t bear such a blow.

Of the 250000 troops, about 150000 were deployed by the king, ning yuanxian, and the remaining 100000 were gathered from the nobles all over the country by the Zhu family, who had exhausted all their resources.

But now, he was

The entire Army was annihilated?

“Prime Minister! Prime Minister!!!”

A few of Zhu Hong’s trusted aides stepped forward and patted Zhu Hong’s chest, pressing down on his philtrum.

Then, he poured the ginseng soup into the bowl.

A full quarter of an hour later.

Only then did Zhu hongzhu feel his body gradually regain its warmth and consciousness.

He closed his eyes.

Let this endless darkness and pain pass quickly.

After a long while, he opened his eyes.

“What exactly happened? Tell me,”

Zhang Zhao knelt on the ground and recounted the entire process.

Zhu hongzhu’s eyes immediately became hot.

His son, Zhu Lin, was probably dead. For the sake of the Zhu family’s reputation, he had to die.

The two hundred thousand troops should not be able to be saved.

After a long while, Zhu hongzhu said, ” actually, you didn’t make any mistakes. It’s just that the enemy is too strong.

Zhang Zhao cried and kowtowed, admitting this.

In the beginning, he had felt that the Crown Prince had made a mistake and should not have led the main force to Sand City. He had felt that Zhu Lin and Nangong ao were both muddleheaded, and only he, Zhang Zhao, was right.

Later on, the facts proved that he, Zhang Zhao, was wrong and had still been tricked by Jinjun.

When the news of Sand city’s fall had spread, the Crown Prince had wanted to lead his Army North to continue seizing Sand City. However, Zhang Zhao had insisted on going south to attack Nanyu’s capital because the Army could only be fully utilized there.

However, Xuanji didn’t expect that Jinjun would return to the capital of Nanyu.

He, Zhang Zhao, was the same as the Crown Prince, Zhu Lin, Nangong ao, and the others. He was not much more outstanding.

Zhu hongzhu continued,”but we were wrong again. Shen lang and Ning Zheng were right.” The Army shouldn’t have left the city at all. They should have defended the city and fought a long battle. They should have built countless fortresses at the borders. Shen Lang’s previous strategy was correct.”

However, it was meaningless.

Back then, Zhu Hong also felt that Shen lang and Ning Zheng’s plan was the right one.

But the arrow was already on the string and had to be released.

The Crown Prince needed this contribution to stabilize his position.

He had no other choice.

This war was a political one.

“Where’s the Crown Prince?” Zhu hongzhu asked.

when I left the Army and headed north, ” Zhang Zhao said, ” Prince Qianqian escaped to the sea under the protection of the sky-Sea Pavilion experts.

“Tell me the details,” Zhu Hong said, trembling.

“The Crown Prince and Nangong ao will lead 10000 cavalrymen to take AutumnFall city,” Zhang Zhao said. However, they were ambushed and harassed by the sand primitive Warriors along the way. Jin Jun suspected that she wanted to set fire to the mountain, so the Crown Prince abandoned 10000 cavalrymen and ran away.”

As soon as he said this.

Zhu hongzhu almost fainted again.

Finished, finished!

idiot, this idiot. The country of Nan ‘ou is the country of the king. The people of Nan Yue are his people. How could he really set fire to the mountain? they are forcing him to abandon his Army and escape. They have already set a trap at sea!

Zhu hongzhu’s tears gushed out.

“This fool must have been captured, hehe.”

The worst situation had happened!

What if the Crown Prince was really captured?

Then, everything would be over!

take care, Prime Minister, ” Zhang Zhao said. I still have to make a trip to the palace to report the news to His Majesty.

“General Zhang, go take a bath and change your clothes. I will follow you to see his Majesty,” Zhu Hong said.

……………………

These two days, ning yuanxian had been greatly disappointed with Zhu Hong.

Do you think I can’t tell?

You were the one who pushed for the officials to impeach Shen lang, Zhu Hong.

The goal was to create opposition between me and the officials, even to the point of overestimating me. When the Crown Prince returned, he could become the pillar of the officials and stand up to me.

Ning yuanxian was very smart. He knew everything in his heart.

However, there were times when he found it difficult to control his emotions.

He knew that this was Zhu Hong’s plot to isolate him, but he still couldn’t help but get angry and ordered the arrest.

But,

The shameful thing was!

Those who were beaten to death deserved it.

However, the rest of the people who were arrested and those who were flogged all became heroes.

Not only was he a hero in the eyes of the scholars, but he had also become a hero in the eyes of the people.

He, ning yuanxian, had become a rebellious ruler.

An incapable ruler, a tyrant!

There were countless people pointing at his back and cursing him.

Countless people were eagerly waiting for the crown Prince to triumphantly take charge of the situation.

It was no wonder that Shen lang treated everyone like pigs and dogs. He could kill and torture them as he pleased.

There was no such thing as right or wrong in this world.

Maybe there was a problem.

But when the truth was clear, perhaps the person would have died long ago.

Right and wrong, black and white, were usually only clear when they were not needed.

Shen lang, you’re the best!

In his anger, ning yuanxian couldn’t control his hands and they kept shaking.

“Your Majesty, let’s go to court tomorrow,” Li Jing, the head eunuch, said.

“Go to court?” ning yuanxian asked. Those people didn’t even care about the 300000 soldiers of Chu. They only wanted to impeach Shen lang and Jin Zhuo. Some people have unfathomable motives and want me to oppose the ministers, some can’t wait for the Crown Prince to take charge of the situation, and some want to counterattack.”

“That’s why his Majesty needs to attend court,” Li Jing said.

Ning yuanxian sneered. the Zhu family is very good to ning Qi now. They give him money and food. Third brother and his people won’t become knives in my hands. Moreover, it’s best not to involve third brother. We still need to rely on the Zhong family to resist Chu State, and third brother, ning Qi, to resist Wu State.”

This was the sad part.

Endure for the country.

However, the crown prince’s faction felt that they had won and no longer needed to endure for the sake of their country.

However, for the sake of the overall situation, the monarch had to endure for the sake of the country.

“Zhu Hong, hehehe hehe hehe.”

“He really doesn’t consider himself as an official of Yue country!”

“Your Majesty, it’s late, it’s time to rest,” Li Sun said.

Ning yuanxian instinctively walked towards concubine Bian’s Palace. Only there could he receive true gentleness.

As expected, concubine Bian had already made him some calming osmanthus wine.

After eating, she massaged his numb arm.

“Your Majesty, you should go to the Queen’s place tonight. It’s her turn.” Concubine Bian said gently.

“I’m not going!” Ning yuanxian said.

Concubine Bian said,”Your Majesty, Qianqian.”

Ning yuanxian knew of concubine Bian’s painstaking efforts. Now that the ministers and the king were opposing each other, the key was the Zhu family.

She wanted the Queen to help ease the tension between the king and Zhu Hong.

Besides, it was indeed the Queen’s turn to sleep with her tonight. Even if she was favored, she could not break the rules.

“Alright, alright, alright!”

Ning yuanxian had no choice but to leave concubine Bian’s Palace and walk towards the Queen’s Palace.

The result was …

He was about to explode from anger!

Because the Queen’s Palace door was tightly shut!

“Your Majesty, the Empress has already rested.” The young Palace maid knelt on the ground and trembled as she spoke.

What did Yingluo mean by this?

The Queen, as his wife, refused to serve him in bed?

You’re refusing my entry?

Is this still my Palace?

Hahaha!

This was truly the greatest absurdity in the world.

Crown Prince Ning Yi had only won a modest victory, how could it be as if he had achieved a hundred years “worth of merit?

Even my queen wants to take advantage of me?

I, ning yuanxian, am still the king of Yue country, not ning Yi.

Your Zhu family can’t be the master of Yue country yet.

Ning yuanxian felt an unprecedented humiliation.

hahaha! he laughed coldly and left the Queen’s Palace, returning to concubine Bian.

Ridiculous, shameful!

Ning yuanxian felt his whole body trembling, and the trembling of his hands was even more obvious.

Zhu family, I didn’t know you were so arrogant before.

In the end, before he could even reach concubine Bian’s Palace, eunuch li came to report.

“Your Majesty, Zhu Hong and Zhang Zhao have requested an audience!”

Ning yuanxian trembled.

It was strange that Zhu Hong had asked to see him overnight, and now Zhang Zhao was here as well?

He, wasn’t he at the battlefield of the South Phoenix nation?

Ning yuanxian couldn’t help but have a bad premonition. He quickly walked toward the study.

………………

As soon as ning yuanxian entered the study, he saw Zhu Hong and Zhang Zhao kneeling in neat rows.

“Your Majesty, we’ve lost the battle at the South Phoenix Kingdom!”

“The entire Army has been annihilated!”

Zhang Zhao said directly.

Ning yuanxian instantly froze, not moving at all.

He lost?

An Army of over 200000 was completely annihilated?

How did this happen?

The good news that had just arrived a few days ago was extremely good.

Wasn’t Jin Jun’s Army almost annihilated?

How could it be the turn of the entire Yue country to be annihilated?

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty,”

Li Sun came forward and helped ning yuanxian sit down.

“Speak, speak in detail.” Li Sun said angrily. This was the first time he had spoken on behalf of the king, overstepping his boundaries.

At this moment, ning yuanxian was almost unable to speak. His entire body was so cold that there was no warmth.

Zhang Zhao knelt on the ground and explained the entire process in detail.

And then,

The entire study room was dead silent.

All the bad news.

It was the worst news after the sudden death of Emperor Jiang Li.

Ning yuanxian leaned back and closed his eyes in pain.

She really couldn’t open her eyes. The moment she opened them, the world would spin.

Li Sun quickly opened the bottle of medicine Shen lang had concocted and stuffed it into ning yuanxian’s mouth. Then, he drank it with the ginseng soup.

“Zhu Hong, you’re really shameless!”

After a long while, ning yuanxian finally spoke.

His voice sounded very tired.

Zhu hongzhu’s forehead touched the ground.

“Too shameless, too shameless, Yingluo”

“Say something, Zhu Hong.”

“I deserve to die!” Zhu hongzhu said, trembling.

“At that time, in order for the Crown Prince to achieve this Meritorious Service, you used all your strength to have the Crown Prince go south,” ning yuanxian said calmly. Although I didn’t see through Shen lang and Ning Zheng’s opposition, I believed in Shen lang. Therefore, I didn’t ask ning Yi to go south and dragged it out. Zhu Lin and Nangong ao sent one Memorial after another. If the Crown Prince didn’t go, it would be as if they didn’t want to fight. Zhu Rong even fell sick and was on the verge of death. He even called on the scholars to besiege Shen lang and Ning Zheng, pinning them on the pillar of shame of the surrendering party and me on the pillar of shame of the incapable ruler.”

Zhu Hong knelt on the ground.

“Zhu Hong, your strategy far surpasses mine. Tell me, at that time, Shen lang insisted that the Crown Prince should not head south and the Army should not attack. Instead, he insisted that the Crown Prince should defend the city and build a fortress at the border to fight a long battle with Jin Jun. Did you think that Shen lang made sense?”

“That makes sense,” Zhu hongzhu kowtowed.

“Then why did you ask the Crown Prince to head south? why did you ask the Army to attack Jin Jun?”

“Because I want the Crown Prince to make this contribution and stabilize his position as the Crown Prince,” Zhu hongzhu said with a trembling voice.

“So, before the war is over, they’re already sending a big news report?” 200,000 against 40000. They couldn’t beat the enemy and let the enemy break out easily. They suffered 30000 to 40000 casualties and Jinjun suffered more than 10000. In the end, from your mouth, it turned out that they had beheaded 80000 enemy soldiers and almost annihilated Jin Jun’s entire Army. He’s so shameless, is it you, Bishop Zhu Hong, who ordered him to do so?”

“I deserve to die ten thousand times, I deserve to die ten thousand times!”

Ning yuanxian said,”you deserve to die. Shen lang told me that you are a subject of the great Yan Empire.” Everything you’ve done is to serve the great Yan Empire. You have no intention of being loyal to Yue country. I didn’t believe it. I felt that you had feelings for me and Yue country, but now it seems that I was overthinking.”

“I deserve to die!” Zhu hongzhu prostrated on the ground.

“If killing you can solve our current predicament, I will tear you into pieces!” Ning yuanxian suddenly stood up and shouted, ” “Old thief, old thief, you’re not even as good as su Nan!”

“I deserve to die ten thousand times!”

Ning yuanxian closed his eyes again.

What had happened had already happened, and there was no point in getting angry.

What should he do next?

“The southern Phoenix Kingdom can’t be saved, and the 100000 troops in the defense line of the southern Heaven city have been transferred by you. How many troops are there in the entire Southern Heaven province now? “Tell me more about it,” ning yuanxian asked.

At this moment, hurried footsteps could be heard from outside.

“I, Zhong E, request an audience.”

“Ning Qi requests an audience!”

The two deputies of the Bureau of Military Affairs had come.

Then, the two of them also heard the bad news!

………………

there are only a few thousand soldiers left in the Tiannan province Army. The only ones who can fight are the 5000 private troops of the Marquis of Xuanwu, Jin Zhuo. Ning Qi said.

“How many troops does Jin Jun have?” ning yuanxian asked.

at least 50000 to 60000, ” Zhang Zhao replied. at most, it’ll be a few hundred thousand.

“In the South Phoenix country, he used 100000 troops to destroy 250000 of our Yue Army. In fact, they can even suppress our 170000 strong Army with 30000 to 40000 troops. Do you think the entire Tiannan province can stop him?”

Everyone shook their heads in pain.

After these 250 thousand troops were lost, the southern half of Yue country was completely empty!

Now, there were only two places with soldiers. Tianbei province’s Bian Xiao and ning Qi had a total of 100000 troops, and the West had 100000 troops from Zhongyao.

There were still tens of thousands of soldiers in the capital, and some in the hands of Zhang zixu in the southern part of Tianxi province.

The rest of the places were empty!

Right now, in the entire southern part of Yue country, there were not only defenseless women, but also naked women. They could be trampled on by others and come in and out of the country hundreds of times without any problem.

What should he do next?

“Your Majesty, great general Zhu Lin has a will,” Zhang Zhao said.

“I don’t want to see it, you can read it!” Ning yuanxian said in disgust.

Zhang Zhao read out the will. The content at the beginning was all about Zhu Lin admitting his crimes.

“Skip this part and read the key part.” Ning yuanxian said impatiently.

negotiate with Jin Jun immediately, ” Zhang Zhao said. we can even form an alliance and focus on the battle against Chu. We can even cede five counties to Jin Jun!

The moment he said that!

The entire place was silent. No one cursed.

Jin Jun’s appetite is so small? Would five counties be enough?

No one said anything about losing power and humiliating the country.

There were only a few people present, and they were all top dignitaries, so there was no need to act.

If the abdication of five counties could satisfy Jin Jun, then it would already be Amitabha.

The State of Yue had entered its most dangerous period.

Once Jin Jun crossed the border and went north, the entire South of Yue country would fall.

Jin Jun’s Army could sweep all the way, as if no one was there, and directly attack the capital.

It was impossible to move troops South to defend Tiannan province.

First of all, there wasn’t enough time, and secondly, there were no troops to mobilize.

Once Chu State learned of this news, they would definitely start a war and attack the Western border of Yue State. Zhong Yao’s Army of more than 100000 soldiers was already struggling to resist the 300000 soldiers of Chu State, so how could he have any spare strength?

Yue country did not have the ability to open two battlefields at the same time.

If they were to face the pincer attack of Jin Jun and Chu country, then Wu country would also send troops!

At that time, a disaster would befall them!

The entire state of Yue would no longer be able to escape the fate of dismemberment.

It fell apart!

At least two-thirds of the land would be cut away.

“Then let’s talk. Send a secret envoy to negotiate with Jin Jun.” “Who’s going?” ning yuanxian asked.

“How is Shen lang?” Zhonger said.

“Impossible.” Ning yuanxian refused directly.

If they went to negotiate, they would be begging for mercy, giving up land, and humiliating the country.

“I’m willing to go,” ning Qi’s uncle said.

Ning yuanxian was very touched, but he didn’t say anything.

Ning Qi was too honest and stubborn, not suitable for negotiation.

“Let Zhu Rong go talk to him first. If nothing goes wrong, he should have already gone to talk to him,” Zhu hongzhu said.

“Your Majesty, how about Xue che?” Zhu hongzhu suddenly asked.

Xue che?

He was a good candidate.

This person was stationed in the Empire of Great Yan and was in charge of intelligence and Foreign Affairs.

………………

In the next few days!

The real bad news kept coming.

The citizens of the capital, who had been boiling with excitement, instantly cooled down.

The officials who had been celebrating were now trembling.

The bad news was getting worse and worse.

The southern ou nation had completely fallen.

The 250 thousand main force of Yue country was completely annihilated.

Great general Zhu Lin had died in battle!

Of course, this was only official news.

There was also private news.

The count of zhenbei, Nangong ao, has surrendered!

The Crown Prince Ning Yi surrendered!

A fatal blow!

This was a fatal blow to the crown prince’s officials and to the people of the entire capital!

A crazy slap to the face!

Just a few days ago, the Crown Prince had been praised to the heavens.

What heaven did not give birth to ning Yi, Yue country was like a long night.

What kind of Sage is hard to find in a hundred years?

Such a virtuous ruler had actually surrendered to Jin Jun.

As the young Emperor of a country, you don’t even have the courage to commit suicide when your Army is defeated?

What a disgrace!

Such a person, and we even treated him as a wise ruler?

And he even treated him as the hope of Yue country?

When ning yuanxian heard the news of the crown prince’s surrender, he once again fainted.

This time, he almost had a stroke.

When she woke up again, half of her body had been numb for a long time.

The Parkinson’s disease had become even more serious.

The trembling of his hands could no longer be concealed.

At this moment, ning yuanxian wanted to tear his son into pieces.

Ning Yi, why don’t you commit suicide? Why didn’t he commit suicide?

If you commit suicide, the royal family of the Yue Kingdom will still have some face.

You actually surrendered to Jin Jun?

What kind of blow would this be to the morale of our Yue country?

How do you want me to face the world? What dignity did the ning family have to rule the Yue country?

……………………

It was the new year!

The Spring Festival was over again.

In the entire Yue country, almost no family celebrated the new year.

It was shrouded in an aura of despair.

The third day of the first month!

The worst news came!

Jun Jin announced to the world that she would officially take back the South Phoenix nation and her ancestors ‘homeland.

After that, Jin Jun’s great Southern kingdom gathered 100000 troops and split into East and West to head north.

On the East, Great South’s great general Sha Yan was the Commander-in-Chief, and Nangong ao was the Deputy Commander-in-Chief. A total of 50000 soldiers charged out of AutumnFall city.

On the West Road, the Great Southern Kingdom’s Secret envoy su Nan was the Commander-in-Chief. He led 50 thousand troops and charged out from Sand City.

The entire state of Yue collapsed.

Countless people of Tiannan province had already begun to flee.

……………………

The capital of Yue country!

A curfew was once again imposed, and a food ration system was implemented.

This time, there was almost no need to control it, because the atmosphere of despair had almost frozen the entire capital.

Moreover, there were countless refugees pouring into the capital every day, all of whom had fled from Tiannan province.

The rumors were getting more and more terrifying.

What did he mean by Jinjun had already seized Tiannan city? Jinjun had already seized the entire Tiannan province.

The Jin family had surrendered.

Jin Jun’s Army was about to reach the capital.

The entire capital was in a state of panic!

……………………

The fifth day of the first lunar month!

The messenger entered the capital to meet ning yuanxian.

“My Lord is willing to stop the war!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the Emperor and ministers of Yue country were overjoyed.

Ning yuanxian had already sent a secret emissary to negotiate with Jin Jun, but the secret emissary should have just entered the South Phoenix nation, and the negotiations should not have officially started yet. Why did Jin Jun send an emissary of her own accord?

Moreover, he was asking to see ning yuanxian in public.

the conditions for the ceasefire are very simple. We will cede five counties in the South of Tiannan province!

The moment he said that!

Ning yuanxian and the powerful officials present were completely shocked.

Did Yingluo see a ghost?

The so-called ceding of five counties should not be more than seven people who knew about it.

Ning yuanxian, Zhu hongzhu, Zhong ‘e, ning Qi, Zhang Zhao, Li Sun, and Xue che.

None of these seven people could have leaked the information.

And Jin Jun was like a roundworm in their stomachs. She didn’t wait for the messengers of Yue State to arrive and directly put forward this condition.

Then, the messenger took out a map and pointed out the five counties to be ceded.

Tiannan, Yangwu, Nujiang, wuan, ningshui.

This included the capital city of Tiannan province and Nujiang County, where the Jin clan was located.

The five prefectures covered an area of more than 70000 square kilometers and had a total population of more than two million.

Of course, this was humiliating.

An unprecedented shame.

Twenty years ago, after the Wu State had ceded nine counties, he had knelt for more than twenty years and had not been able to stand up.

But,

In the hearts of the Emperor and ministers of Yue country, this price was actually not considered big.

Jin Jun’s appetite wasn’t considered big.

After all, this was a moment of life and death. If he did not agree to Jinjun’s request, the entire Tiannan province would be lost.

In fact, half of the Yue country would fall.

If she gave up five counties, she would be able to stop the war. It was totally worth it for Yue country to be able to resist Chu country with all its heart.

It was just a little face-smacking.

Jin Jun’s Messenger had proposed this condition in front of everyone in the Imperial court.

If ning yuanxian dared to agree, his name would go down in history.

This kind of matter should be discussed by the officials, and then all the crimes of losing power and humiliating the country should be pushed onto the officials.

For example, Li Hongzhang was the one who had signed the Treaty of Malaysia and Malaysia.

please go and rest, ” ning yuanxian said. we need to discuss such an important matter.

“My master said that I will only stay here for three days!” Messenger Jin Jun said. Once the time is up, it will be considered as a failure of the negotiation and our Great Southern Army will sweep across the entire South of Yue country. Goodbye!”

The sovereign Messenger left!

It was as if he was here to inform and not to negotiate.

He was this unyielding!

Either agree obediently or fight!

After the messenger left, the Imperial court of Yue country fell into silence.

No one dared to speak.

Even though everyone felt that this condition should be unified.

Jin Jun’s condition was already very good.

Of course, once Yue State agreed to this condition, the Jin clan’s territory would be lost.

The Xue family’s fief was also lost.

This was because Xuanwu city and wuan city were both within the scope of the ceding.

However, whoever opened their mouth would be charged with the crime of losing power and humiliating the country.

The king, ning yuanxian, was even more unable to speak.

After a long while, Prime Minister Zhu hongzhu stepped out.

“This old subject is willing to negotiate with the Great Southern Kingdom’s envoy.”

The Prime Minister had finally stepped forward and was willing to bear the crime of losing power and humiliating the country.

Ning yuanxian did not say anything.

“Will Jin Jun go back on her word?” ning Qi’s Royal uncle asked.

He wouldn’t!

This was everyone’s instinctive reaction.

Even the King of Wu knew that a signed contract could not be easily torn, let alone a talented and strategic monarch like Jin Jun.

Once the treaty was signed, Jin Jun would probably not go back on her word for a long time.

“If you don’t go back on your word, I think we can agree to this condition!” Ning Qi said.

Everyone was stunned by his words.

Ning Qi’s Royal uncle was indeed innocent and honest. How could he say such words? weren’t you afraid of being cursed for the rest of your life?

But ning Qi was furious.

If I don’t speak, should I let His Majesty speak?

His Majesty is not feeling well. Why don’t you go back and rest? leave this matter to us. Ning Qi said.

His meaning was clear. His Majesty should not be involved in such a disgraceful matter.

“Don’t cover your ears at this time,” ning yuanxian said with a bitter smile. I’m a person who cherishes my face, but I also want my face. When the country is in danger, everyone should abandon their hypocrisy and get through this difficult time. Tell me, should we agree to Jin Jun’s condition?”

Everyone still didn’t dare to speak.

“I think we can agree to it!” Prime Minister Zhu hongzhu bowed.

Ning Qi represented the generals, and Zhu hongzhu represented the Civil officials. After these two giants spoke, the civil and military officials below also spoke.

“This subject agrees!”

“This subject agrees!”

What a disgrace, he was so happy even after selling his country.

You think you’re at a great advantage when others give you five counties of land.

how about this, ” ning yuanxian said. talk to the messenger and see if you can change two counties. Don’t give up Nujiang County and wuan County!

Shen Lang’s family was in Nujiang County, while Xue Che’s family was in wuan County.

Everyone was shocked by his words.

Your Majesty, at a time like this, you still care about the Jin and Xue families?

The Jin clan has the raging tide city, and the Xue clan has the southern sea Sword sect, so you don’t need to worry about them.

“Go and talk. If you can convince them, do your best to switch two counties. If the negotiations don’t work out, then the Xuanji Jin and Xue clans will suffer!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Zhu hongzhu bowed.

As soon as these words came out, it was almost a foregone conclusion.

The Emperor and ministers of the State of Yue unanimously agreed to cede five counties of Tiannan province to Jun Jin in exchange for a ceasefire so that they could devote themselves to the war against Chu State and retain most of their territory.

As for the Jin clan and Xue clan.

When the nest was overturned, no eggs could remain intact.

Since he was an old noble of Yue country, he should sacrifice himself with Yue country.

Moreover, the faster this armistice agreement was signed, the better.

The battle waited for no one.

The decisive battle with Chu State in the West would determine the survival of Yue State.

Zhu hongzhu left the Imperial court and walked outside to negotiate with Jin Jun’s diplomatic mission.

This was the will of the entire Yue country.

And at this moment!

A voice rang out!

“I object!”

Ning Zheng, it was actually Ning Zheng!

Then, another figure walked in!

It was Shen lang! He was still extremely handsome!

It had been almost a year, and he was back in the capital again!

He had finally returned!

The king, ning yuanxian, felt his eyes heat up.

Shen lang, you little bastard.

What a jinx!

When you left last year, you made it clear that you would lose the battle of Nan ‘ou. That would be the time for you to return to the court.

You’re right.

However, Yingluo

We didn’t expect to lose so badly.

In less than a year, everything had changed.

My Yue country is actually facing such a desperate situation, a desperate situation that is on the verge of destruction!

Unfortunately, Shen lang, you’re too late!

The situation in the South had already been reversed, and even the gods could not save it.

The defeat was set!

Shen lang walked in and bowed, ” “Your Majesty, I object to signing this truce agreement with Jin Jun.”

Ning yuanxian said, ” Shen lang, I know that the land that we are ceding includes your family’s land. We will try our best to negotiate and get Jin Jun to agree to change the county. We will try our best to protect your family. But if you can’t, your Jin family still has raging tide city and Leizhou Island!”

Shen lang said,”Your Majesty, my objection is not only because of the Jin family!” It was for the entire Tiannan province, for the entire Yue country! This time, my Yue country will not cut off an inch of land!”

Suddenly, a cold voice was heard.

“Shen lang, it’s easy for you to say harsh words, but everyone knows how to be righteous. The entire Tiannan province was now completely empty without a complete Army. If they didn’t agree to abdicate five counties to Jinjun, who would resist Jinjun’s 100000 troops? Are you going to resist it?”

Shen lang said,”yes!” His Highness ningzheng and I will resist the 100000 troops of Jin Jun and ensure that Yue country will not lose an inch of land and will win a great victory!”

Everyone was shocked by his words!
