After rebirth, I became a national teacher

He wants to take the initiative to surrender to the God of Du'e!

After making this decision, he suddenly felt relaxed all over.

No matter how you look at it, surrendering voluntarily is much better than being forced to surrender after Huai'an is captured.

What if the Lord God sees that he has sensible ideas and has behaved well in the past six months and lets him go?

He immediately summoned all the soldiers back to the camp, then stood on the high platform in the parade ground, showed respect to the soldiers, and said loudly to everyone:

"Brothers, I have an idea that I have been thinking about for a long time!"

"The Lord of Du'e distributed land to the people and treated the soldiers well. He is truly a good lord!"

"So this general intends to lead everyone to submit to the God. Are you willing to follow?"

The soldiers below heard this, their initial shock turned into surprise, and then they shouted loudly with great joy:

"willing!"

"willing!"

"willing!"

The cheers were deafening and the crowd was excited.

The Huai'an lieutenant general ignored the shocked and disapproving looks from the thousand households below and said with a smile:

"Okay, since everyone is willing, then I will immediately submit a letter of surrender to the Lord of Du'e!"

Seeing the dissatisfied looks on the faces of the thousand households below, he felt that since he had decided to join the God, he must of course strictly follow the God's orders and punish corrupt officials.

Therefore, he immediately locked up several thousand households who had a very bad reputation among the soldiers on the charge of embezzling military pay, saying that they would be kept there to await the God's decision.

This action once again made the soldiers below the stage cheer and jump for joy, and they actually supported the Huai'an Lieutenant General very much.

Lieutenant General Huai'an felt relieved. He was now considered a good officer who loved his soldiers like his own sons. The God should not kill him.

With a nervous mood, he personally took the surrender letter to Fengyang and asked to meet General Hui'an.

It was a hot August day, and even though Emperor Yong'an had many ice basins in his study, he still felt restless.

The reports of military defeats from various places in recent days have left him exhausted but helpless.

Ever since the rebellion of Lord Du'e, he has not had a peaceful day. Now his hair is gray and he looks much older.

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, he had no intention of celebrating at all.

Wang Zhong bowed his body and entered the imperial study, and reported respectfully in a soft voice:

"Your Majesty, Nandu has sent new intelligence."

Before hearing the specific content of the intelligence, Emperor Yong'an's brows were already twisted into knots.

The battle reports from other fronts may show wins and losses, but Nandu has never sent any good news.

"Say!"

This time, Wang Zhong actually had a bit of joy on his face:

"Your Majesty, the spies at the Nandu Palace have made a major discovery!"

"It's about the secular identity of the evil demon Du'e. I think there is a lot of potential!"

Emperor Yong'an maintained an impatient expression:

"What did they find?"

Wang Zhong told the whole story.

In order to obtain more intelligence about the enemy, he had spared no effort in the past two years to place spies in the Nandu Palace and in the residences of the trusted ministers under the Lord Du'e.

In the past six months, because Nandu occupied Hunan and Jiangxi provinces, many maids in the palace who originally served in Huangji Palace took exams to become female officials and clerks, leaving many vacancies in Huangji Palace.

Among the people he placed there was a palace maid who was extremely good at disguise and usually behaved very diligently, steadily and reliably. She was chosen to work in the Huangji Palace.

After more than a month in Huangji Palace, this person finally made a discovery.

Once, when the young master Chen Rong came to Huangji Palace and the God Du'e was not practicing, she went in to serve tea and snacks and heard the young master call the evil demon Du'e "mother".

The tone and expression were very intimate, just like a real mother and daughter.

The palace maid bravely took a peek and found that the two looked about 60% similar.

Emperor Yong'an's brows relaxed a lot, with surprise and excitement on his face.

"So... they are actually mother and daughter? Du'e Xiemo is the maidservant in Jingnan Marquis's mansion who was sent to the temple to practice?"
