Imperial Demon Slayer Division

After a while, Xu Kun was brought in again by two soldiers, but this time the soldiers were much more polite to him.

Ning Wu looked at Xu Kun who walked into the handsome tent and smiled gently.

"Master Xu, I just discussed it with several of my colleagues. I feel that the King of the Night Kingdom is very sincere, so I agree to your country's intention to negotiate peace. As long as our army takes over the two northern provinces and gets the silver to build the canal, , our troops will withdraw into the country.”

Hearing Ning Wu's agreement, the stone in Xu Kun's heart just fell. He didn't care how much of Ye Kingdom's territory was lost or how much money the country paid, as long as he could be an official safely and live a comfortable life.

"Don't worry, General Ning. I will immediately send a message to the king, ordering the soldiers from the two prefectures to withdraw to the middle and third prefectures. As for the silver, don't worry, General, it will be delivered in a few days."

Ning Wu nodded with satisfaction, raised his hands and said

"Excuse me, Mr. Xu."

Xu Kun put on a false smile on his face, cupped his fists and said

"It's all for the sake of the people of the two countries. Now that the matter has been finalized, I will go back to deliver the message first."

Ning Wu nodded and said to the deputy general beside him.

"Send Master Xu to me, General"

After Xu Kun left, only half a month later, Ye Kingdom sent someone to inform Ning Wu that he could take over the two northern provinces.

Ning Wu sat in the commander's tent, looking at the sand table throughout the Night Kingdom in front of him, his face full of ridicule.

"Break camp! Go south!"

For the weak, they lack the courage to fight to the death, so they can only cede territory and pay compensation, and pray that the strong will show their noble hands.

In fact, they also know that this is cutting flesh with a dull knife, and if things go on like this, they will surely perish, but they have no choice. They don't dare to fight to the death with a powerful enemy, so they can only wait for the god of death to slowly swallow them up.

The 200,000-strong army of the Fifth Army marched toward the south in a mighty manner. Smoke and dust billowed along the way, and their cries were like thunder, causing all living beings to have their livers and gallbladders broken.

Within a few days, the Qin army took over all the city passes in the two provinces.

After the Qin army entered the city, they behaved very gently towards the people and did not arouse the people's resistance.

The ignorant people of Ye Kingdom thought that Qin State came with good intentions, but they didn't know that the knife was hidden under that kind face.

Xu Kun looked at the Qin troops all over the city and said

"General Ning, the silver has been sent to me, and the land of the two mansions has also been donated. Do you think?"

Ning Wu smiled slightly and patted Xu Kun on the shoulder.

"Master Xu, please relax. This general will let the army leave the city and return to Qin this afternoon."

Hearing Ning Wu say this, Xu Kun just breathed a sigh of relief. His mission was finally completed. After returning to Yedu, he will definitely receive generous rewards.

"General Ning, since this is the case, I will go back to the night capital first. I wish General Ning a safe journey in advance."

Ning Wu looked at Xu Kun with an incomprehensible look.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I will definitely have a 'bon voyage' with you, General"

The tone of these four words was quite strange. Unfortunately, after completing the task, Xu Kun, who looked relaxed, did not hear it. He only thought that Ning Wu was ready to go back, so he said goodbye to Ning Wu and returned to Yedu with his guards.

After Xu Kun left, everyone from the Demon Slayer Division walked towards Ning Wu.

Han Qing looked at Xu Kun's back with a mocking look on his face.

"Smug idiots, I really don't know what's going on in the minds of these monkeys."

Then he looked at Ning Wu and asked

"Old Ning, what are you going to do?"

Ning Wu's eyes were full of murderous intent

"Calculating the days, the Yanzhou Navy should be approaching the southern border of the Night Kingdom. Wait for them to launch an offensive first and contain part of the Night Army. Then our army will sweep through the three central prefectures with thunderous force and lay waste to the Night City!"

That afternoon, the 200,000-strong army disappeared into the mountains and forests and disappeared without a trace.

......

Eight hundred nautical miles away from the southern border of the Kingdom of Night, hundreds of huge warships were rapidly approaching.

Duan Yi, commander of the Yanzhou Navy, was standing on the deck, looking at the border of the Night Kingdom.

When they were less than two hundred nautical miles away from the coast, Duan Yi said coldly

"Instruct all ship-borne guns to charge up, and after approaching the coastline, aim at the coastal defense city. Ten thousand guns will be fired. It will directly bombard all the coastal defense cities in the Kingdom of Night."

"Order!"

The messenger next to him bowed and left quickly.

......

Half a month later, in the night capital, the Night King looked at Xu Kun who had completed his mission and returned successfully and said with satisfaction.

"Xu Aiqing is really a pillar of talent. When all the officials were shrinking, she bravely stood up to send an envoy to the Qin army, and she did not lose the prestige of our Ye Kingdom."

Xu Kun had a slightly complacent look on his face

"It's all based on the king's reputation."

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the palace

"Report!"

The Night King's brows jumped when he heard this, and he glanced at Xu Kun vaguely, always feeling like something bad was about to happen.

A soldier carrying an order flag suddenly rushed in

"Report! The Yanzhou Navy of the Qin State has landed in the south of our country! Several coastal defense cities were bombed into ruins, and there are no bones left of the soldiers on the border!"

Bang!

After hearing the soldier's words, the Night King's blood surged instantly, and he was furious. He kicked the dragon case over, rushed to Xu Kun, grabbed him by the collar, and roared:

"Xu Kun! Didn't you say that Ning Wu agreed to withdraw his troops?"

Xu Kun was a little confused by the sudden attack of Yanzhou Navy and said uncertainly

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Perhaps the Yanzhou Navy is far away and has not yet received the message from General Ning Wu?"

The Night King kicked Xu Kun to the ground and walked around the palace like an ant on a hot pot. After a while, the Night King let out a long sigh.

"Well, I hope so."

At this time, a voice came from outside the palace again

"Report!"

The Night King's eyes instantly became bloodshot and turned extremely red. He stared at Xu Kun as if he wanted to eat someone.

A soldier carrying the command flag rushed into the hall, knelt on the ground and shouted loudly

"Your Majesty, the Fifth Army of the Qin Kingdom suddenly appeared in the Zhongsan Prefecture at some unknown time. It only took three days to destroy two of the Zhongsan Prefectures. Now the two northern prefectures plus the remnants of the destroyed two prefectures have gathered together. When we arrive at the remaining Zhonglu Mansion, prepare to defend the Qin army's offensive."

After hearing what the messenger said, Xu Kun fell to the ground with his eyes blank, as if all the bones in his body had been ripped out.

"How could this happen? Ning Wu obviously promised me."

The Night King looked at Xu Kun with increasingly cold eyes.

"Drag it out! Put it in the oil pan"

"Your Majesty, no! Your Majesty! Give Wei Chen another chance, and Wei Chen will definitely convince Ning Wu to withdraw his troops."

At this time, the Night King was so angry that he was dizzy and had trouble breathing. He staggered to the dragon chair and sat down.

"Gu's brain is really screwed up. Why did you believe such a fool!"

After the Night King finished speaking, he glanced at the ministers in the court and said in a deep voice:

"There are six provinces in the south. The Yanzhou Navy is not an army. It is not good at attacking cities and territories. It cannot defeat them in a short time. The top priority is the fifth army in the north. Who among the ministers can lead the troops north? Marry the eldest princess to him and marry him. Reward ten thousand taels of gold"

The eldest princess is a rare talent seen in the Night Kingdom for thousands of years. Although she is nothing in Great Qin, in this barren land, she is one of the best among people.

Now that the King of the Night is willing to marry her off, it shows that he is extremely afraid of the Qin army.

Zhang He below hesitated for a moment, then a look of determination flashed across his face. He wanted wealth and honor in danger, so he fought hard!

"Your Majesty, the last general Zhang He is willing to lead the troops north to resist the Qin army."

The Night King looked at Zhang He and was extremely moved. He walked forward and grabbed Zhang He's hand and said movedly.

"General Zhang is the real pillar of the country, much better than Xu Kun and his like."
