Chapter 163: The Cang Yue Queen Surrenders, and He Who Knows the Times Is a Hero!
Hearing this, Qin Mu laughed,
"Since you trust your intuition, why are you still here? Didn't you intuitively know that you would fail when you decided to make all these arrangements?"
Xie Hongyi's snowy face was slightly red, and her red lips pursed slightly: "But I also believe that man can conquer nature, but I didn't expect the result to be so bad."
She had thought that with so many strong men and saints gathered together, even if Qin Mu was prepared, he would eventually fall into a tight siege and would be defeated.
However, reality gave her a loud slap in the face, completely subverting her cognition.
Qin Mu didn't even need to use any big killing weapon. He could make these people kill each other with just a tree of enlightenment.
She planned to use the greed of human nature to lure these saints to Chang'an City.
What Qin Mu took advantage of was also the greed of human nature.
On this point, she and Qin Mu have something in common.
"Man can conquer nature?" Qin Mu smiled slightly, unable to comment, then changed the topic and asked lightly:
"Now that you know all this, why didn't you follow your original plan and come to me instead? Could it be that you gave in?"
Hearing the affirmative answer from Qin Mu, Xie Hongyi's heart trembled slightly.
To be honest, she still can't believe that Da Qin actually possesses such a peerless divine object as the Tree of Enlightenment.
If the efficacy of the Enlightenment Tree is true, wouldn't Great Qin already have a group of strong men, standing among the top forces, overlooking the nine realms of the human race?
Could it be that the other party has been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?
Or maybe the effect of the Enlightenment Tree is not actually that powerful and is just an illusion?
Xie Hongyi's mind was racing, thinking about these questions.
But she also knew very well that no matter what, she had no choice.
Those saints are no longer reliable.
She believed that Qin Mu's plan was not limited to the Enlightenment Tree, but there should be other more powerful and terrifying back-ups.
After all, if Qin Mu dared to appear here, he must have made complete preparations, otherwise he would never have put himself in danger.
She lost.
Complete defeat.
No matter how hard you struggle, it will be in vain, and may even lead the Cang Yue Dynasty into the abyss.
The fate of the Cang Yue Dynasty now depends on her undressing Hongyi.
Xie Hongyi took a deep breath, then raised her head and stared at Qin Mu, and said slowly:
"That's right, I admit defeat. The Cang Yue Dynasty is willing to surrender to Great Qin. From now on, it will be at your disposal!"
When he said these words, Xie Hongyi felt relaxed all over, as if something was turning.
Once upon a time, she had wanted to take Great Qin into her hands.
But he didn't expect that just a few months later, Cang Yue would become a vassal of Da Qin.
Xie Hongyi laughed at himself inwardly.
Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips.
"As expected of Empress Cang Yue, a person who knows the current affairs is a hero, and is capable of both bending and stretching. I am impressed by her."
Qin Mu was really surprised.
The Empress Cang Yue was indeed no ordinary person. Seeing that things were going wrong, she chose to surrender so decisively.
This made all the punishments Qin Mu had prepared for Jie Hongyi suddenly useless.
After all, they have surrendered voluntarily, so it would be unjustifiable to punish them again.
In this regard, Jie Hongyi is much better than Jiang Luoshen.
but.....
He is a foolish king. Does a foolish king need a reason to punish people? ?
"Your Majesty, thank you." Xie Hongyi lowered his eyebrows and said softly.
Qin Mu glanced at her with a hint of amusement, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"Since Empress Cang Yue sincerely surrenders, from now on, Cang Yue will be a vassal state of Great Qin and will fight against foreign enemies together with Great Qin. I wonder what Empress Cang Yue wants?"
Xie Hongyi was shocked.
So easy to talk to?
She was already prepared for the opponent's lion to open his mouth, and even to the death.
But I didn't expect that the other party agreed directly.
Xie Hongyi's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she thought to herself, could it be that the Lord of Great Qin also wanted something?
"Red clothes collar decree." She bowed her head and said respectfully.
No matter what, at least for now, it seems that the crisis of the Cang Yue Dynasty has been temporarily resolved.
However, just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Qin Mu say calmly:
"For the sake of the friendly relations between our two countries, from now on, you should stay in Daqin."
Xie Hongyi's delicate body froze, and her face instantly turned pale.
Stay in Daqin?
How could she still have a perfect body? ?
Qin Mu glanced sideways and said, "What? Is there any problem?"
Jie Hongyi secretly gritted her silver teeth and shook her head: "Of course it's no problem, but I have to go back and deal with the succession first. After all, Cang Yue can't live without a king for a day."
Qin Mu smiled: "Don't bother, I have already chosen your successor."
"Huh?" Xie Hongyi's eyes flashed and he vaguely guessed something.
"Your princess Xie Qianxue would be great. Let her manage Cang Yue." Qin Mu said slowly, with a hint of joking on his face.
Xie Hongyi's pretty face was slightly cold and she said nothing.
Sure enough, something happened to Xie Qianxue!
"If Empress Cang Yue has no objection, let this matter be settled as it is."
Qin Mu said calmly.
Jie Hongyi pursed her lips and nodded helplessly.
And at this time,
The fighting outside the Enlightenment Tree has gradually ceased.
The monks from other forces were covered in blood, scarred and embarrassed, and withdrew from the Enlightenment Tree, losing the ability to fight again.
They looked at those high and mighty saints and angrily shouted:
"You powerful people are too selfish! There are so many leaves of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, what's wrong with giving one to us!"
"Yes! You are too bullying!"
"You are not worthy of being called saints, you despicable villains!"
"Bullying the weak with the strong, what's the point!"
And those saints snorted coldly, not caring about it at all.
With the value of the Enlightenment Tree, what's wrong with enduring a few insults?
But they were relieved at this time.
There were too many monks, and most of them were saints whose lifespans were about to end, and they could not fight for a long time.
Fortunately, they finally shocked these monks.
Nangong Lie of Ziwei Fairy Palace laughed, looked around with a relaxed look, and said loudly:
"Everyone, now is the time for us to divide up the Enlightenment Tree!"
"Each faction should be divided equally according to the number of saints. What do you think?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper were the first to stand up and refute.
