Castle of Ayr.
This place is equivalent to the ghost clan's palace. At this time, the entire castle is empty, with only Bawi, a few subordinate diplomats, and a guard remaining.
Seeing Bawei come back in despair, a subordinate hurriedly greeted him and asked impatiently: "Master Bawei, how is the situation? Have you seen Emperor Qin?"
He asked questions one after another, showing the anxiety and panic in his heart.
Bawe smiled bitterly: "I saw it, but there is nothing I can do about it. The Qin Emperor has hundreds of thousands of troops, and he doesn't listen to my words at all. I was expelled without even telling me the compensation."
"Ah?" The official's expression changed: "Then what should we do? Now that we can't sue for peace, the Qin army may be about to invade Ya'er City."
"Yes." Bawei did not deny this: "The Qin army is not far outside the city now and will come in at any time, just a word from Emperor Qin."
"That, then" the official swallowed, and when he thought that the Qin army might massacre the city, he couldn't help but stammered: "Master Bawe, since we can't sue for peace, why don't we leave quickly? It's not suitable to stay here for a long time."
"Go? Where to go?" Bawe glanced at him and said helplessly: "Have you ever thought that if Emperor Qin doesn't stop fighting, even if he moves eastward, he will still die in the end?"
"Then, you can't stay here, just sit and wait for death." The official said urgently, it was like waiting for death, and it was not a pleasant feeling.
Bawe shook his head and said: "It's useless. I can only continue to fight to see if I can ask to see Emperor Qin again. This is our country's only chance of survival at the moment."
"But Lord Bawe." The official was panicked.
Bawe understood what he was thinking and said directly: "If you want to leave, go ahead and pass the news to His Majesty the King."
"This, sir."
The official wanted to say something else, but Bawi had already waved his hand and walked away.
The next day, Yaer City.
There were no soldiers to defend the entire ghost city. The ghost king fled eastward, naturally taking away his remaining guards.
The Qin army first occupied the city defenses to control the entire city, and then the army entered.
In the city, the sound of the friction of armor and the sound of neat infantry could be heard, as large numbers of Qin soldiers ran forward.
On the streets in the city, there are still messes on the ground from the past few days, but there is not a single ghost pedestrian. The residents here have either fled in advance, or closed their doors and locked their doors and windows, so they dare not come out.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yuan rode in on a war horse. At this time, all the streets were lined up by the Qin army, with soldiers holding halberds on both sides.
We walked all the way to Ya'er Castle. When we arrived, Wei Qing was walking quickly to greet us. He was the first to lead his troops here.
Seeing Xiao Yuan, he clasped his fists and bent down: "Your Majesty."
Xiao Yuan waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be polite, turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the guard on the side, and while leading the generals in, asked: "How is the situation here?"
"The Ghost King took away a lot of the property here, but there was also some that he didn't have time to move. In addition, Bawe, the internal affairs officer from yesterday, was also here and was about to ask His Majesty what to do with it." Wei Qing replied.
"No need to kill him yet, just control him." Xiao Yuan said, subconsciously looking at the buildings of the castle.
You can't see much from the outside, but when you get inside, there is something special. It can be described as magnificent. The halls are like palaces, and even the passages are covered with red carpets, showing luxury.
This is especially true when arriving at the Ghost Tribe Congress Hall.
Along the way, Wang Su beside him was already a little angry: "Your Majesty! The ghost tribe does not produce these jade stones at all. The ghost tribe does not have such exquisite gold and silver carvings. These are all plundered from the Central Plains. It’s coming!”
He was right. This palace looks inexplicably familiar because it is all about the Central Plains.
"Your Majesty!" Some generals couldn't help but clasp their fists and move the corners of their mouths, wanting to say something but not knowing how to speak.
Xiao Yuan could understand everyone's mood and immediately said: "Pass on my military order to plunder the city for three days! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
This three-day siege of the city means three-day robbery. This is the first time the Qin army has done such a thing, but for the ghost tribe, there is no need to talk about that.
Even the three counselors didn't say anything to stop it, because it was the right thing to do!
When soldiers go on such expeditions and fight in foreign lands, they also need to vent their anger and gain spoils.
After hearing this, all the generals clasped their fists excitedly: "I have the order!"
With this order, there is no need to say more about what will happen to Yaer City in the next three days.
The generals followed the order and left, while Xiao Yuan walked around and looked around: "It's time to return all the things in the Ghost Capital Castle. Order the soldiers to take action and transport all the property here back to the country."
"Yes." Lou He responded behind him.
Xiao Yuan paused again, looked at Wang Su and said: "Wang Su, what you said about supporting the puppets is indeed the best policy, but we don't understand the current political ecology of the ghost clan very well. What suggestions do you have?"
"Your Majesty, isn't there someone who can answer my questions right now?" Wang Su said.
Xiao Yuan smiled: "Then bring that Bawe over."
"Yes." Wang Su responded and directed the two soldiers to leave.
At this time, Bawei was under house arrest in a room. When the door opened and he saw Qin's soldiers, he immediately stood up and said, "Warrior, please inform me that I want to see His Majesty the Qin Emperor."
"You are Bawe, right?" Qin Zu glanced at him.
"Yes, that's right." Bawe was very polite.
"Your Majesty asked you to come over, let's go." Qin Zu didn't say any more nonsense and directly stretched out his hand.
"Ah?" Bawei was stunned at first, and then beamed with joy: "His Majesty, Emperor Qin, is willing to see me? This is great. Please lead the way, warrior."
He thought he had another chance to sue for peace. As he followed the soldiers, he was still organizing his words in his mind, thinking about how to persuade Emperor Qin later.
A moment later, the Ghost Congress Hall.
Xiao Yuan stood beside the throne directly above, looking at something.
Seeing him, Bawei quickly stepped forward, put his hand on his chest, bowed respectfully and saluted: "Bawei is here to see His Majesty the Emperor of Qin."
"Bawe." Xiao Yuan glanced at him with a smile, and then pointed to the seat next to him: "Is this chair exclusive to your king?"
"Yes." Bawe said matter-of-factly.
"Come, sit down and take a look."
"This, how is this possible? Your Majesty, Emperor Qin, stop making fun of villains." Bawe was startled and waved his hands repeatedly.
Xiao Yuan looked at him with interest: "I tell you to sit, so you sit. If I tell you to sit, you can sit!"
"What?" Bawe looked at him blankly, unable to react for a moment.
