Chapter 915 Negotiation
Thick smoke continued to pour in from the windows, and even the beams on the roof of Luo Hong Tower were blackened. The emperor was sweating profusely and turned to look at the partition, outside which was flames shooting up into the sky.
He never expected that he, the emperor of Jin State, would end up like this.
He originally wanted to climb the Nine-Story Platform to seek immortality, but the Imperial Master said… by climbing the Nine-Story Platform and sacrificing a thousand boys and girls, he would be able to meet the immortals, obtain the elixir of immortality, and even ask the immortals to bring Bai Suqiu back to life.
He was about to succeed, the nine-tiered platform had already been built, and he only wanted a thousand boys and girls, but Bai Qingyan actually dared to rebel against him!
Oh, God, just one step… one step at a time! He is the true dragon emperor of Jin! Why does God treat him like this? Why can’t he just get what he wants?! Why doesn’t the prince come to save him!
At this time, the prince was stabbed in the chest and bleeding… He was protected and supported by Qin Shangzhi, a group of soldiers, and the royal secret guards. He hid all the way and finally reached the city gate. However, the prince was too tired. Qin Shangzhi had no choice but to choose a wealthy family’s house where everyone had left, temporarily placed the prince there, and simply bandaged his wound.
The prince panted heavily, leaning back on his chair, his whole body reeking of blood…
He never imagined that Hongmei, whom he had doted on for so long, would give him a fatal blow.
When the prince heard that Hongmei had arrived, he thought that Hongmei was also sent by Bai Qingyan. In order to get Hongmei to persuade the prince to surrender, who knew that as soon as he saw Hongmei… before he had time to get intimate with her, Hongmei gave him such a gift.
The way Hongmei looked at him was clearly one of deep admiration. How could she thrust the knife into his chest without blinking? And how could she jump into the river with an expression of fearless death?
What kind of deep hatred did you have to give him such a blow?
Now that Hongmei is dead, there is no point in investigating the cause.
But the prince really didn’t want to die. If he was really not afraid of death… he wouldn’t have knelt down and begged King Liang for a chance to live.
But the prince had not thought about what to do in the future if he escaped.
He is penniless and cannot give money to these secret guards. He may need Qin Shangzhi, these soldiers and the royal secret guards to support them. Will these soldiers and secret guards… still work for him?
The prince looked down and saw the forbidden step on his waist. This might be worth some money, but he didn’t know how long it could last.
The prince never expected that the one who would stick with him at this time was Qin Shangzhi, this… Qin Shangzhi, whom he once helped Old Fang suppress.
Old Fang is also loyal. The prince feels creepy just thinking about his appearance that is not even human.
Ren Shijie… I don’t know if he is dead or not, there is no news from him.
Only Qin Shangzhi, who was originally repairing the canal and didn’t need to be involved, was trying his best to protect him.
After thinking it over, the prince made a decision: “Let’s not run to the west of the city. Let’s go to the camp of the Great Zhou. Qin Shangzhi…you go and tell Princess Zhenguo that I am willing to surrender!”
I hope Bai Qingyan will consider their past friendship and let Doctor Hong treat his injuries. Maybe he can still survive.
Qin Shangzhi was shocked when he heard the prince’s words: “Your Highness!”
“I might not be able to make it!” The prince looked up at Qin Shangzhi and said against his conscience, “But you are all good men of Jin. Why would you risk your lives for a dying prince like me and become a desperate criminal? Forget it… go to the Princess Zhenguo! Based on my understanding of the Princess Zhenguo… you will not be in danger of your lives if you follow me to surrender. She will not kill you all! You are still young… and you still have a future! If Jin is gone, then it is gone…”
Qin Shangzhi has always believed in him, so… he wouldn’t realize that he was lying to him!
Just as the prince expected, Qin Shangzhi, the soldiers led by Qin Shangzhi, and this small team of royal secret guards did not expect the prince to say such words. In their eyes… this prince, like the emperor, is extremely selfish. Could it be that when a person is about to die… his heart also becomes kind?
Not to mention that Qin Shangzhi and those soldiers had nothing in common with the prince. Even if the Royal Secret Guards were protecting the prince, it was out of instinct and mission. Even if loyalty was something they had learned since childhood, such instinct and mission could not withstand the test of days without money!
The prince was afraid. He was afraid that Qin Shangzhi and these soldiers and secret guards would take his head and surrender to Bai Qingyan after he could no longer provide them with food, clothing, shelter and transportation.
Qin Shangzhi was fine, especially these secret guards. The royal secret guards swore allegiance to the royal family until death, but that was only when they were paid enough silver.
The prince has been in the Jin court for so many years, doesn’t he know what kind of people are?
Rather than being humiliated by having his head chopped off later, it would be better for him to surrender now. Bai Qingyan would not make things too difficult for him because she thought of the good feelings he had towards her in the past.
The Crown Prince had heard that Bai Qingyan had made the Third Prince of Daliang, who surrendered, a king… It was already good enough for him to live a peaceful life.
With determination, the prince pressed tightly on the wound that was still bleeding: “Let’s go! Don’t delay! Go find the princess!”

Soon, all the people in Luohong City were evacuated. Lin Kangle was leading his soldiers to put out the fire. He was so smoke-smothered that he looked like he had just come out of a coal mine.
Lin Kangle wiped the sweat off his face with his hands. The black smoke was wiped off, revealing half of his face that was burned red. His hands were shaking all the time. He looked up at the raging fire and sighed in his heart that the fire was too big…
“That son of a bitch, King Liang, is he crazy! The fire is so big…” Lin Kangle felt sweat all over his body. He tightly grasped the bucket in his hand and turned his head to ask, “Have you ensured that all the people have been evacuated?”
“General, everyone has been evacuated! Our people have checked several times and confirmed that there are no civilians left!” The soldier, who was also sweating profusely, ran over panting, looked at his general’s red face, and shouted loudly.
“Okay! Let’s retreat, brothers!” Lin Kangle threw down the bucket in his hand and shouted loudly.
In order to stop the fire, enough soldiers have sacrificed their lives. As long as the people in the city have evacuated, there is no need for them to hold on.
People… are more important than this city. If the city is burned down and all the people are gone, the city can be rebuilt, but if the people are gone, they are really gone!
At this moment, in the camp outside Luohong City, Quanyu had his leg sawed off and had fainted. Doctor Hong had just had someone give Quanyu medicine when he got the news that the Grand Princess had taken poison. Before he could ask any further questions, he was dragged away to treat the Grand Princess.
Doctor Hong saw the color of the eldest princess’s lips, took her pulse, and his expression changed. He raised his eyes and looked towards Bai Qingyan…
