two days later
Tang Xi was recuperating in a courtyard, sitting on a swing holding a book and reading in fascination.
After a while, Tang Xi suddenly laughed out loud, looked in a certain direction, and said slowly, "Mubai, Zhuqing, why don't you come out and have a good chat."
The sound of wind blew Tang Xi's hair, and a black shadow flashed in front of Tang Xi. Zhu Zhuqing opened his black robe and revealed his complicated eyes. Dai Mubai followed closely, but the two of them left. There is some distance between Tang Xi and Tang Xi. This distance is very unfamiliar, and it is hard to explain the feeling.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Tang Xi could only smile bitterly and said, "Mubai, Zhuqing, just say what you want to say. We don't have to beat around the bush like this."
Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai looked at each other, as if they had decided something.
With a "bang", the two of them knelt down one after another holding hands. Dai Mubai lowered his head and did not dare to look at Tang Xi. His eyes were very red. He choked and said, "We are not here to see you as friends." You, but as the royal family of the Star Luo Empire, I know that the Star Luo Empire will not last long, but the people are innocent."
Tang Xi quickly supported Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to pull them up, and said urgently, "No need to kneel, let's stand up and talk."
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. She held Tang Xi's hand tightly with red eyes, "We only hope that the Wuhun Empire can treat the people of the Star Luo Empire well."
Once upon a time, the two of them would rather die in battle than plead for mercy from the enemy, but they knew Tang Xi's character. If a little dignity could be exchanged for the safety of the people of the Star Luo Empire, why not?
Tang Xi knew that if she didn't agree to them, they would probably kneel here all the time. Instead of agreeing to their request, she turned her back and spoke her mind.
"If the people of the Star Luo Empire are willing to submit to the Spirit Empire, the Spirit Empire will naturally protect them and even give them the same treatment as the people of the Spirit Empire. I will do my best to reduce the occurrence of wars, and those who resist will Please restrain me from being unable to do anything."
As a saint of the Wuhun Empire, Tang Xi naturally had to think from the perspective of the empire, but she also had her own personal affairs. Tang Xi saw Mubai's concerns at a glance, sighed and said slowly, " In a few days, I will go to the Star Luo Empire for negotiations, and I will also strictly instruct the soldiers not to kill any innocent people in the city, your family members..."
Tang Xi was stunned. When he thought of Dai Mubai's father and Zhu Zhuqing's noble status, he was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes turned red, and she was already very satisfied with Tang Xi's answer. She smiled bitterly and said, "I know you have tried your best, Xiao Xi."
Dai Mubai helped Zhu Zhuqing stand up, not at all as high-spirited as when Tang Xi first saw him, but with an indescribable sense of desolation.
Both of them looked very bad. It looked like they had been living in a miserable state these days. Dai Mubai seemed to be laughing at himself and feeling helpless.
"Originally, Zhuqing and I both thought that the empire would just need to close itself off or something like that, but when we visited these cities, I realized that we were both wrong."
"The residents of Luofenlin City hate the Star Luo Empire for abandoning them. The residents of other cities captured by the Spirit Empire are also living well. I started to think about the meaning of war."
Dai Mubai laughed at himself, "Isn't war just a game for the upper class to compete for power? As long as the people live well, no matter who rules, the people will have no complaints."
That high-spirited boy finally grew up.
