Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 629
"Report! Fuchun City has fallen, and there is no news of the Lord and the elders of the Yigan clan!"

The news of the fall of Fuchun City was delivered to the hands of Ruan Fuxi and Ruan Youjin who had returned to the teacher quickly, leaving them silent for a while.

"I didn't expect the Kyushu Army to be so fast. It took only a few days to capture our capital. This time it's good, we are homeless. More importantly, my poor nephew, he It is very likely that the elders of the He tribe have become prisoners of the Kyushu Army, and I don’t know if the Kyushu Army will harm them after turning their faces and denying them.” Ruan Fuxi was worried.

Originally returning to Fuchun City, they still had a glimmer of hope in sticking to Fuchun City, but now it has become to regain Fuchun City, and the difficulty of the mission has suddenly doubled.

"We are short of troops, and the main force is not in Fuchun City. The fall of Fuchun City is inevitable... I think they should not harm the young master, because doing so is really of no benefit to them. From my perspective on them They generally don’t do anything that is not beneficial.” Ruan Youjin said.

Ruan Fuxi sat on a war horse, bouncing up and down with the horse, walked forward for a while, and then slowly said: "The capital of the king has been breached. Once our soldiers hear the news, they will be panic-stricken, and we have nothing to do. Block this news. Why don't we first rest in Nghe An Prefecture and recruit soldiers, and then send envoys to Fuchun City to ask the Kyushu Army to return the young master, and we can agree to some excessive demands from them—as long as they release him. Use it, my lord."

"This hope is slim, but we can give it a try." Ruan Youjin didn't think that the Kyushu Army would obediently let him go, but now the last new force of the Ruan family needs time to stabilize the morale of the army and gather strength for the last fight.

"I don't know who can be the envoy, General Ruan Youjin, do you have a good candidate?" Ruan Fuxi asked.

"This matter is of great importance. Even if the young master cannot be rescued, it is a good opportunity to negotiate with the Kyushu Army. We are on the verge of danger, and we must try every tiny possibility. I don't feel relieved if others go, why don't you let him go?" I will go to Fuchun City and make my last effort!" Ruan Youjin said.

"You...you have to think clearly, now that we are fighting against the Kyushu Army, I think they might kill you with their despicable and shameless actions." Ruan Fuxi said.

"A real man is a corpse shrouded in horse leather. I don't even have the courage. What face do I have to lead troops into battle?" Ruan Youjin insisted.

"Well said, let you go to Fuchun City to negotiate with the Kyushu Army. No matter what harsh conditions the Kyushu Army puts forward, we must pretend to agree to them, and then play by ear." Ruan Fuxi urged.

After Ruan Fuxi and Ruan Youjin, the two last powerful figures of the Ruan family, decided to send envoys to negotiate with the Kyushu Army, Ruan Fuxi stayed in Nghe An to recruit new recruits and reorganize the troops, preparing for a decisive battle with the Kyushu Army on the South Road.

And Ruan Youjin personally acted as an envoy, and went south with the soldiers to Fuchun City to meet the generals of the Kyushu Army.

In fact, several envoys brought by Ruan Youjin were discovered by scouts from the scattered Kyushu Army thirty miles away from Fuchun City, and Cao Bianjiao was notified.Cao Bianjiao saw that the last unit of the Ruan family wanted to negotiate, so he ordered someone to bring Ruan Youjin and others.If the last main force of the Ruan family figured it out and planned to surrender, how much trouble would be saved!

Ruan Youjin and several envoys returned to Fuchun City on horseback. When they saw the scarred Fuchun City, they couldn't help feeling like a knife was piercing their hearts.Most of their family members are in Fuchun City. I don't know if they survived the war.

Even though they were worried about whether their wives, children, and parents were still alive, Ruan Youjin and others were still unable to return to their home to visit, because they were escorted by the soldiers of the Kyushu Army to meet Cao Bianjiao, the general of the Kyushu Army from Guangzhou.

Ruan Youjin had never met Cao Bianjiao, or even heard of the name Cao Bianjiao.But he knew that this person was able to lead troops to capture Fuchun City independently, which is enough to show his means and ability.Especially when he saw that Cao Bianjiao was a few years younger than him, he couldn't help but be amazed that there were so many soldiers in Kyushu, and the youngest generation could lead troops across the ocean to go to war!

"General Ruan Youjin of the Ruan family in Annan Kingdom, this is the first time I have met General Cao, and I am disrespectful." Although he hated the Kyushu Army's treachery, Ruan Youjin still forced a smile on his face. After all, this is now the territory of the Kyushu Army, and he has something to ask for from the Kyushu Army!
"Disrespect? I think General Ruan really hates me?" Cao Bianjiao said bluntly.

"What is General Cao saying? We each have our own masters, so we have to fight each other." Ruan Youjin couldn't help but change his face slightly when he saw Cao Bianjiao being so outspoken, but he still said politely.

"General Ruan came here as an envoy this time, presumably not just for politeness? Let me guess what you are thinking." Cao Bianjiao said suddenly.

"Oh? General Cao knows what I'm thinking?" Ruan Youjin saw that Cao Bianjiao didn't play cards according to common sense, and was somewhat aroused by Cao Bianjiao's curiosity, so he simply followed Cao Bianjiao's words.

"First, General Ruan regrets cooperating with our Kyushu Army before. He thinks that if he only relied on his own strength, he might not be able to withstand Lord Zheng's attack. Second, you want to know what happened to Lord Ruan who was captured by us now. It’s so bad, you even want us to let him go, don’t you?” Cao Bianjiao said.

After hearing this, Ruan Youjin reluctantly acquiesced to what Cao Bianjiao said.

"The third..."

"Do you know anything else?"

"Thirdly, when you return to Fuchun City, you must have discovered that Fuchun City has undergone a bloody battle, and it is inevitable that there will be damage, so you are still worried about your wife, children and mother." Cao Bianjiao said again.

This time Ruan Youjin became emotional: "Is my wife, children and old mother still alive?"

Cao Bianjiao clapped his hands: "Bring them in."

After a while, the soldiers who left came with a few people, a boy about ten years old in gorgeous clothes, and a woman who was holding a five-year-old girl, an old woman in her 60s.

"You...they...I..." Ruan Youjin saw Ruan Fubin, his wife, children, and mother at the same time, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak coherently.

"I can understand that General Ruan met everyone he wanted to see this time? You still want them all to be safe, right?" Cao Bianjiao boldly hooked Ruan Youjin's shoulders, and then said to him in a low voice, "I want to save them , but a price has to be paid.”

"Price? That's right, you Kyushu Army always pay a price. What do you want this time, my life? If you kill me, no general can stop you, right?" Ruan Youjin replied.

"It's almost the same, but our request is more excessive. We don't want your life, but you work for us."
