I have guarded the border for thousands of years, but I have been ridiculed by the world

Chapter 17 Confessions
  In the Imperial Court of the Central Plains, in the Jinluan Hall.

A shrill scream echoed in the vast hall.

"Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty..."

Lord Jinfeng was dragged into the hall like a dead dog.

And above the main hall, among the ninety-five thrones, the young emperor was sitting there with a solemn expression.

"Liang Yang, do you know your guilt?"

The emperor's tone was very solemn.

"Knowing the crime, I know the crime..."

City Lord Jinfeng responded repeatedly.

He didn't know why. He was obviously disguised and mingling among the people, but he didn't know who betrayed him.

As a result, he was now caught in this hall.

"But Your Majesty, you don't know something about this matter..."

Liang Yang hurriedly explained: "It's not that Wei Chen is afraid of the enemy and absconded, but that the enemy is too strong. Wei Chen just wants to return to the Central Plains, find another master, and then go to fight the enemy..."

"Huh? You can also express such a reason?"

The young emperor looked at him coldly.

"Master Zhao, Master Zhao, does your Majesty still remember Master Zhao?"

Liang Yang looked at the emperor seriously.

"Nonsense!" the young emperor said angrily: "I asked Zhao Li to go to the border area to help you, but now, you ask me if I know?"

Liang Yang said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... you don't know something. Even as powerful as Mr. Zhao, he was killed by that young demon general with one blow!"

"What?!" The young emperor stared angrily.

He couldn't believe it.

He is considered to be the newly promoted young and powerful man in the first court level in the court recently, but he can't survive a single round in the hands of the demons?
  "Liang Yang, are you deceiving me?"

The emperor looked at him solemnly.

"No, absolutely not. What Wei Chen said is true..."

Liang Yang shook his head repeatedly and said, he knew that he had to make the enemy as strong as possible, so that he could have a chance of survival.

"But even so, how can you, as an important official of one party, dare to abandon the city and flee in a major military and national matter?"

The emperor said solemnly.

Liang Yang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I really didn't think of escaping. All of this is a misunderstanding. Moreover, those enemies are too powerful..."

"Hmph." The emperor snorted coldly, "Even if Zhao Li is defeated, the ancestor of the Li family will return to the border to retreat from the enemy. Everything you said is just an excuse..."

"Ancestor of the Li family?..."

At this time, Liang Yang's face showed a slight change of color.

In fact, if the ancestor of the Li family could rush back to the border in time, he would not have escaped.

However, he didn't know when the ancestor of the Li family would be able to come back.

Just now he chose to run away immediately.

At the moment, facing the emperor's inquiry, he didn't know how to answer.

And at this moment, suddenly, a message sounded.

The messenger outside the audience sang a Gao Nuo.

All I heard was: "Urgent border alert!"

Then, a messenger came in anxiously.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"

The messenger knelt on the ground, his face dripping with cold sweat.

"Huh?" A strange look appeared on the young emperor's face, and he said coldly: "Say."

"Your Majesty...the ancestor of the Li family...is dead!"

The messenger said seriously.

"what?"

The young emperor suddenly changed his color.

Even the ancestor of the Li family, who was a powerful person in the Shenting realm, died at the hands of a foreigner? !
  He originally thought that as long as the ancestor of the Li family returned to the border, everything would be stable.

How powerful is this foreigner?

Coupled with what City Lord Jinfeng said before, he couldn't help but believe it.

Could it be that a strong man like Zhao Li couldn't defeat one of their young generals?
  If that's the case, wouldn't it be too scary?
  I saw something was wrong with the emperor's expression.

At this time, Liang Yang knew that his opportunity had come, and said: "Your Majesty, what the minister said is true, right? In my opinion, the ancestor of the Li family not only fell into the hands of foreigners, but also , I’m afraid there’s a high chance that he won’t be able to defeat a young general from a foreign race…”

"what?!"

Hearing this, the young emperor changed his expression in shock.

"So, you have some understanding of the strength of foreigners?"

asked the young man in the high position.

City Lord Jinfeng nodded: "Yes, I have a relatively clear understanding of the strength of foreigners."

"Then tell me."

The emperor said coldly.

City Lord Jinfeng said: "If those unborn experts do not take action, I am afraid that all the strong men in the Central Plains will not be the opponents of the foreigners, and... the aliens' offensive is extremely fast. According to the criminal officer, it should take less than a month to attack our Central Plains imperial court..."

"This……"

The young emperor changed his expression in shock, "Are these foreigners really so powerful?"

"Your Majesty, everything the minister said is true."

Lord Jinfeng said seriously.

"So in your opinion, what should we do?"

asked the young emperor.

City Lord Jinfeng said: "If we really want to talk about it, all this is not difficult."

"Oh?" A look of confusion appeared on the young emperor's face.

City Lord Jinfeng said: "These aliens have been besieged for too long and just want to come out for some air. They don't have much ambition. We just need to give them some areas so that they can live in peace!"

"So what do you mean?"

The young emperor couldn't help but ask.

Lord Jinfeng said: "Why don't we divide some areas on the border to them in order to achieve peace without war."

"Oh?" The emperor's expression suddenly changed, "How can this be done? Isn't it the king's land in the world? How can there be any reason to give it to others?"

City Lord Jinfeng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is what you don't know. After the large-scale attacks by the foreign races, those originally poor border areas have long been reduced to scorched earth, and... given to the people of the foreign races, It may not be without benefits. Their borders are quite prosperous, and maybe they can also drive prosperity in the border areas in the future..."

"Oh?... That makes sense..." The emperor said, "This matter still needs to be discussed between me and the ministers."

"Your Majesty!" At this time, Liang Yang suddenly said seriously: "Time is running out. Maybe if it drags on any longer, the aliens will attack the prosperous areas of the Central Plains, and even directly threaten the Royal Court of the Central Plains... "

"This..." For a moment, the young emperor was a little moved by what he said.

"So, Liang Aiqing, are you sure that you can successfully seek peace with a foreigner?"

asked the young emperor.

Liang Yang was overjoyed, knowing that the opportunity had come, and said: "Of course, as long as your majesty forgives me for this sin, I will be able to persuade the millions of foreign troops to retreat with my sharp tongue."

"Oh?... In that case, it's very good." The young emperor said: "Then it's up to you to evacuate those foreign races for the time being."

The emperor thought: "Perhaps it is not necessarily a bad thing to cede the border areas to foreigners. Anyway, those are just barren places..."

……

……

Just like that, Liang Yang, the lord of Jinfeng City, was reinstated as an official, re-appointed by the emperor, and went to the border to seek peace with the aliens.

City Lord Jinfeng was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that after a lot of nonsense, he actually succeeded in deceiving him.

In fact, Lord Jinfeng didn't want much at first.

All he wants is to escape from death row.

This time he went to seek peace with the alien race, and he just wanted to give it a try.

If that fails, he will flee into the people again, and what he said this time will not be discovered by the emperor or the others...

Soon, Lord Jinfeng was followed by several warriors.

It was a city near Jinfeng City that we arrived at.

This place is a place where the foreign races have not yet affected.

This time, City Lord Jinfeng was in some trouble.

Because he was afraid of the power and terror of the aliens and did not want to directly enter the areas occupied by the aliens.

However, if one does not go there, the imperial edict for peace cannot be delivered to the hands of the foreigners.

At the moment, he was stumped.

Afterwards, after repeated inquiries, he finally found a way.

That is - the spiritual paper crane.

This kind of spiritual paper crane can fly to very far places and can also transmit letters.

There is nothing better than sending a peace petition.

So, he immediately found such a thing.

Using a very high-quality spiritual paper crane, he flew a peace letter and entered the area occupied by the alien race.

In order to prevent the aliens from seeing it, he still used a lot of small cranes to transport the same content.

Finally, under the massive flow of such spiritual paper cranes.

There were also some spiritual paper cranes that flew to the foreign camp.

……

At the moment, inside the demon camp.

Several demon lords are gathering together.

In the hand of one of them, there is a paper crane with spiritual power that holds the imperial edict for peace.

"What do you think of this matter?"

A demon king asked.

"Do you still need to look at these things? They actually want to come to seek peace, so of course we will..." Lord Demon Lord smiled relaxedly, hugged the back of his head and said, "Promise them."

"Huh? What do you say about this?"

A demon king who looked like a little boy said.

"Didn't you see? In the letter, they can write that they are willing to directly cede Lizhou, Yuanzhou, and Bingzhou. These three large areas will be given to us Demon Clan. In addition to Bingzhou, the other two states, we They still haven’t conquered it yet, and they are willing to give it to us directly, so why don’t we accept it directly?”

"Then after taking their place, do we have to stop fighting?"

The child demon asked.

"Stupid!" Lord Demon Lord said: "Who said we have to abide by the contract with these human races? After taking their place, can we attack them differently?"

"Oh...I see." The little boy nodded dully.

"In this case, let's agree to the human race's request for peace!"

After the discussion, these people dispersed.

……

……

This evening.

City Lord Jinfeng received exciting news, that is: the foreigners responded to his letter and agreed to his request for peace!

This was something that City Lord Jinfeng never expected.

At the moment, after completing the negotiation with the demons, he immediately rushed back to the Central Plains Dynasty to restore the order.

……

More than half a month later.

Lord Jinfeng successfully returned to the Central Plains Dynasty.

Bring the news that the foreigners agreed to sue for peace to the Central Plains court.

After hearing the news, the young emperor was Long Yan Dayue.

At that moment, he named Lord Jinfeng as General Anyuan.

Matters between the general's border area and foreign races.

The second rank of official residence, the scenery is unparalleled for a while.

……

……

However, there was news of the cession of the three states of Merger, Yuan and Li.

It also quickly spread to the ears of the people in the three states.

They were all deeply surprised. In such a short time, they were ceded to foreigners?

At the beginning, they still had some disbelief.

But soon, notices about the cession of states and counties appeared on the notices on the city wall.

Suddenly, all the people were shocked.

People who read the article here couldn't stop cursing.

"Damn it, it's too abominable! You obviously said that after the border is opened, there will be many benefits, so we forced Emperor Lin Ye to open the border. Now that the aliens are coming, you are... We need to cede territory and seek peace..."

"From now on, this place will be considered owned by aliens. What should we do?"

"This notice says that the request in the peace letter is to allow the aliens to coexist peacefully with us. When those aliens come, we won't be killed, right?"

"This notice says that all the foreigners agreed to the terms of the peace petition, and that's why they decided like this..."

"This notice also says...the aliens are pitiful too, they just want more land to survive..."

"But how come these are different from what I heard? From the mouths of those who fled, aren't these alien pigs and dogs extremely cruel and tyrannical?"

"What should we do? Otherwise, let's escape..."

"Escape? But where can we escape? Our home is right here..."

"Oh, if I had known better, I shouldn't have listened to what those people said."

"Actually, it would be good to seal them at that end like Emperor Lin Ye did, so that we can occasionally reap some benefits."

"Perhaps, as this notice says, the aliens just want to coexist peacefully with us?..."
