Helian Manqiu secretly asked in her heart. After a moment, she realized the meaning of the words ”Helian Mountain”. Wasn't that her father, whom she had yet to meet?
”My father was killed?”
”Yes, we've already brought back the body of the general. Not many people know that he died in battle yet, but it's been tightly sealed away.” ”Miss, now we can only ask you to make the decision.”
Helian Manqiu suddenly came to her senses and understood that the situation had reached a critical juncture. The reason why the Military Region could use several tens of thousands of people to fight against the two hundred thousand strong army and defend against them for more than half a month was because the Military Region had Helian Mountain.
The moment the news of Helian Shan's death spread, the military state would immediately fall.
”When did it happen?”
She opened her eyes and a cold light flashed in her eyes. She did not reveal any grief. From a psychological perspective, she did not regard Helian Shan as her father. They had never met before. Although he felt pity for Helian Shan's death, he didn't feel any sadness for it.
”The general's body has just been brought back and is currently in his room.”
”Miss, don't move. The wounds on your body have just been bandaged. Do not move easily.”
”Hmm, how are the various city gates of the military region right now? Is the war still going on? ”
Chen Yu Yang came over and cupped his fists: ”Miss, the war has ended, and the enemy forces have suffered heavy losses, so they have stopped attacking the city.”
”There's no time.”
She inexplicably said as she looked at the windowsill. What was the meaning of it? Chen Yu Yang didn't see the slightest bit of sadness or panic on Helian Manqiu's face or expression. In fact, he wasn't even surprised.
They did not know that Helian Manqiu was not the same as the former Helian Manqiu. They already knew that Helian Shan had died in battle.
The two of them looked at each other. They had a strange feeling in their hearts. When they heard about their father's tragic death, why didn't their miss feel any sadness?
”Miss, please don't be sad. Right now, we can only come to discuss this with you, and we have to ask you to come up with an idea as soon as possible. The general's death would probably not be concealed for long. Once this news got out, the military would lose their morale, and the military state would no longer be able to be preserved. ”Miss, please consider carefully what to do and where to go from here.”
”I've already thought about it. The only thing I can do now is to first suppress the news of father's death. I can't let this news leak out, delay for time, and then find an opportunity. Perhaps, I can surrender.”
She had thought about it too many times. There was no food or supplies, no reinforcements. Right now, the military state was a lonely city. They were lone soldiers in battle, so sooner or later, the military state would not be preserved.
”I am afraid it will be very difficult to surrender. The Emperor decreed that anyone who holds a position in the army should be punished with the crime of treason. The rest of the soldiers, including their entire family, should be exiled for life as slaves. Only ordinary soldiers can survive, but if they were to fall into the hands of the Law King, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive either. ”
”The law king is vicious and merciless, ungrateful, capricious and unable to follow.”
She did not know what kind of person the Law King was, but from Helian Manqiu's memories and Chen Yu Yang's tone just now, she could guess a little.
”Yes, the Prince of Law has always been ruthless and ruthless. He even secretly had an affair with a fresh and inferior barbarian, and right now, that was something that the Prince of Law had secretly lured along. Even if we surrender, I am afraid Miss, the generals and her family will still not be able to escape punishment. ”
”How about giving it to Xuan?”
However, he gave a deep look at Helian Manqiu and said in a low voice: ”General Jing Bian, the Marquis of Mighty Heaven is generous to you. He has two hundred thousand soldiers under his command. ”This person has always been scheming and decisive in his killing. In recent years, he has always been pouncing on his own and even the imperial government has always been wary of him.”
”Since that's the case, then I shall accept your surrender.”
”I'm just afraid that General Gan won't allow it.”
