Daybreak came quickly.

The emerald blue sky first showed a hint of white, and then was outlined and enhanced with bright red, until the entire sky became radiant, brilliant but not dazzling. In this early glow, the current barbarian chief Wu Li, with his exhausted group of people, was finally about to arrive at Nan Ze City.

The group set out when the moon was fading. Logically, they should have arrived in Nanze long ago, but there were too many people traveling with them, and most of them were not from the military, but were mostly the elderly, children, women and children, so they walked all night.

This was an unprecedentedly long night, at least for Wu Li.

He was not in a good mood throughout the journey. Firstly, he was old after all, and secondly, he was still weighed down by the things in his heart. He could not relax until he could resolve them.

And now as we were about to arrive at Nanze City, this heavy feeling in my heart became even deeper.

What appears before our eyes is a magnificent city, standing tall on this land. The outer city walls are endless like an unbreakable iron wall, wrapping the entire Nanze. Standing so majestically, it is almost the most magnificent creation of mankind.

Now that we are near the city, we can truly feel its oppression, which is comparable to that of a mountain. However, it is also different from a mountain. It is a wonder that was built brick by brick by countless people over many years.

Nan Ze City is synonymous with an iron wall. Looking back in history, it has never been breached from the outside. Even when the heroes were fighting for supremacy many years ago, the barbarians were also fighting at that time, but they could not even break into the outer wall.

At that time, Nanze was not what it is today. Today, this majestic wonder has expanded many times. Just by looking at the towering city walls, you can imagine how strong its defense is.

But now, Wu Li raised his head and looked upwards.

On top of the city wall, a large flag was fluttering in the wind. The flag had a clear mark on it; it was the flag of the Yan Army.

"In one night, this huge city was conquered..."

Although he already knew that Nan Ze City had been breached, Wu Li was still shocked when he actually arrived there.

What a powerful army it must have been to be able to break through this iron wall overnight and kill the Qian army so badly that they had to abandon the city and flee.

He felt relieved again.

Fortunately, he did not agree when King Jing came to borrow troops. If he had agreed, he was almost certain that no matter how many people he sent out, they would all be killed here.

Not only that, they will definitely be completely liquidated by the Yan Army afterwards. As long as they send troops to Guiyun City, the entire Guiyun City will be barren.

But even now that he was leading his tribesmen here, he was still unsure, as Yan Cheng had not returned yet, and he didn't know whether they had caught the person or not, but things could not be delayed any longer.

Since you have already expressed your willingness to surrender, the sooner the better.

He raised his hand to signal the team to stop, then called a few clever tribesmen and ordered them to take the prison cart to Nanze to meet the emperor, while he and the others waited here.

At this moment, it is Chen time.

Wu Li had already dismounted and was standing quietly on the ground, leaning on a crutch, his face looking unprecedentedly solemn.

Turning around and looking at the tribesmen who had followed him, he felt mixed emotions. A night's march was common for the soldiers, but it was not easy for these old people, children, women and children.

And now they should have felt something, because at this moment almost all the adults were pale, except for the young children who knew nothing and just leaned in their mother's arms, tired and sleepy.

"Chief, please sit for a while." Some barbarian soldiers noticed that Wu Li looked unhappy. After all, he was already very old.

Wu Li shook his head, "No need."

He was still looking back, hoping to see Yan Cheng coming with his men to add more persuasiveness to this "surrender".

Now that the Yan army has successfully conquered Nan Ze, the Qian army has been wiped out, and the world has changed hands, he brought his people here to surrender at this time, and the words "oppose according to the situation" were almost written on his face.

This is really not a good time to express your attitude.

What's more, in the previous battle at Yanluo Mountain, the barbarians dispatched hundreds of thousands of elite troops to attack the Yan Army. Although they failed, the battle had already been fought.

This battle is a demonstration of our attitude.

Therefore, when he brought people to surrender at this moment, the words "arrogant at first, respectful later" were written on his face.

Today's resolute and efficient ruler of Yan State is no longer the incompetent Jin Fengluan of the past. He has inestimable elite soldiers and generals, and unparalleled reputation. Once he gives a command, everyone should obey him now.

So what if he decided to treat the barbarians in the same way he did when he wiped out the Hu Ma?

Wu Li pinched his brows, unwilling to think about this question anymore.

But the more he tried not to think about it, the more this question bothered him. After a moment, he let out an inaudible sigh and turned away.

"She's sleeping soundly." When he reached a woman sitting on the ground, Wu Li squatted down and looked at the child in her arms with gentle eyes.

"Well, there was no quarrel or noise along the way." The woman forced a smile on her slightly pale face.

"It's okay even if he makes noise. He's only two years old, and it's normal for him to make noise." Wu Li reached out to touch the child's hair, but after thinking it over he pulled his hand back.

"He's three years old, tribe leader. He just had his birthday last month. You came here." The woman lowered her head and looked at the child with her eyes drooping.

"Oh, I'm three years old, I'm old, and my memory is bad." Wu Li was a little dazed and smiled helplessly.

The woman looked up at him and said with a smile, "At your age, with your body, you are already better than many people."

"You seem to be in good spirits after walking all night."

Wu Li did not expose the woman's little lie, he knew that his face was not looking good.

Likewise, her complexion was very bad.

"We've been walking all night, so take a good rest. We have to go back in the afternoon." Wu Li smiled, picked up the crutches on the ground and prepared to get up.

"Clan leader."

But at this moment, the woman reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

Wu Li just about raised his waist but bent down again. He looked at the woman with her head down and asked, "What's wrong?"

The woman still kept her head down, so Wu Li took half a step forward, squatted and leaned his head forward.

"What do you want to tell me?"

The woman's voice, as soft as a mosquito's hum, then rang in his ears:

"Will it be alright?"

Wu Li's weathered face became stiff in an instant, but he quickly spoke:

"Nothing will happen."

"It's okay." He reached out his hand again, wanting to pat her shoulder, but he didn't.

“But... everyone says, everyone says..." The woman still didn't raise her head, but her voice was trembling violently.

"Hey, don't think too much, didn't I tell you that?"

"Your Majesty is a kind-hearted and broad-minded person. When I go to see His Majesty and explain our intentions, he will naturally make peace. How could he hold a grudge against my barbarian tribe?"

"Haha, don't worry."

"We can go back to the city in the afternoon." Wu Li said with a smile.

The woman then raised her head, her eyes were red. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, only three words came out: "Okay, Patriarch."

Wu Li smiled and nodded, then stood up.

Then he leaned back and fell to the ground.
