Chapter 5524: Pacificating the Empire

Accompanied by Lu Ji's timely persuasion to surrender, nearly one million imperial city defenders actually made the same move.

The sound of countless weapons falling to the ground came one after another. Whether it was the generals or soldiers of the imperial city defenders, they all chose to surrender without a doubt.

The main reason for this was naturally the death of the emperor.

But an equally important factor was that these nearly one million imperial city defenders gathered together, but they could not break through Lu Ji, who had less than 200,000 people.

Lu Ji obviously only had 200,000 troops, but at this moment he was like an iron wall, blocking all those who tried to enter the palace.

In fact, even Lu Ji himself did not expect this. In his eyes, with the combat power of these one million people, he would inevitably face a dangerous battle.

However, when he really fought with these guys, Lu Ji found that only a very small part of the soldiers could be called a threat.

The other more soldiers were completely like birds of prey and beasts degenerated into harmless flies.

In addition to gathering together for a large momentum, there was no use at all.

After a long period of siege, these soldiers had already begun to retreat.

Especially when they thought that they were facing the top generals who had dominated the entire empire for nearly a hundred years, these soldiers felt even more terrified.

After a period of time, the riots were completely over.

The gathered imperial city guards had completely accepted the fact that the emperor was dead, and were now treating all the injured under the command of Lu Ji.

In addition, all members of the royal family were brought out in public, and the soldiers in the army pointed out their crimes.

Now that the world has changed, many soldiers who have long been resentful of the royal family have spoken out about the humiliation they have suffered.

With the accumulation of many crimes, none of these members of the royal family were spared.

In the end, with the princes crying and begging for mercy, one by one, their heads fell to the ground.

Since then, the Tianyu Empire has been completely liberated from the hands of the royal family.

"Lord Wan Guo, are you sure you won't stay any longer?"

In front of the empire dock, Zhang Yifeng and his party looked at Wan Renxue and his party who were about to return to the Snow Country on a warship.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhang, but now that the emperor is dead, all the royal family members have received the punishment they deserve."

"This will naturally announce the end of our alliance."

"The Snow Country is in ruins, and there are still many political affairs waiting for me to deal with when I return. Please forgive me for not staying for long."

Wan Renxue smiled slightly and bowed to Zhang Yifeng and his party.

Zhang Yifeng did not ask any more questions after hearing this, and watched Wan Renxue and his party take the warship to the Snow Country.

"Lord Wan Guo, you are really a heroine."

Lu Ji stood beside Zhang Yifeng and said with emotion.

Zhang Yifeng nodded without comment. Now everything in the empire has been rebuilt.

If Wan Renxue is willing, she can stay in the empire and take the opportunity to gain some power.

Even with her achievements, she can completely seek the supreme power of the empire.

However, Wan Renxue retreated at the height of his career and chose to return to the Snow Country.

This alone is enough to make people admire him.

After all, this also proves that Wan Renxue has always maintained his original intention, which is to make the Snow Country truly stable.

"Senior Lu Ji, the empire is now in a state of disrepair."

"It is not a good thing for the position of the head of this country to be vacant for a long time. What do you think about this?"

Zhang Yifeng pondered and asked Lu Ji.

What he meant was nothing more than whether Lu Ji was interested in being the king of the Tianyu Empire.

"Mr. Zhang, please don't. I am a warrior and I can't take care of the affairs of the country."

"This matter is still under discussion. Who will be the next helmsman of the empire is a very serious matter."

"None of us want to see that after removing one emperor, another one will emerge."

Lu Ji shook his head and said in a deep voice.

There are many candidates for the future helmsman of the empire, and even more than those present.

Even the civilians of the empire can try to ascend the throne.

Whether it was Lu Ji or Zhao Yunting, they had only one requirement for the new king, that is, he must be a wise king.

"Hehe, I can't get involved too much in this matter."

"When Senior Fire King's mana is restored, I should embark on the real goal of this trip."

Zhang Yifeng looked at Lu Ji and said with a chuckle.

He could see that Lu Ji wanted him to recommend a candidate, but Zhang Yifeng had no leisure to do these things.

Now that the root of the Tianyu Empire's troubles has been eliminated, Zhang Yifeng should embark on the road to the dark space.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang has worked so hard, so I won't bother you with this matter."

Lu Ji looked calm and said in a concentrated voice.

After sending off Wan Renxue, everyone present dispersed.

It is worth mentioning that the Ji family also returned to the empire this time.

And at that time, on the battlefield at the main gate of the palace, there were active figures of the Ji family.

Or it can be said that this unusually active person was not someone else, but Ji Huanying, who also activated her bloodline.

Zhang Yifeng did not stay for long and soon returned to the house where he was staying temporarily.

The Fire King in the room was concentrating on accumulating his magic power with his eyes closed. Xuanyuan Li and the other two stood by, not daring to breathe.

They didn't know why the Fire King was so hot-tempered today.

Even if they made a little noise, it would ignite the Fire King's anger, and he would release a ball of fire to chase them.

So now the three of them only dared to stand next to the Fire King in silence, not even daring to express their anger.

"There is someone outside who has been waiting for you for a long time. Go and have a look."

Upon noticing Zhang Yifeng's return, the Fire King did not open his eyes to greet him, but said in a deep voice.

"oh?"

Zhang Yifeng raised his eyebrows and arrived in the yard outside the house in the next moment.

"With this aura, you should be the owner of Zuixiang Tower, right?"

Zhang Yifeng's eyes fell on the stone table in the courtyard and asked in a low voice.

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to still remember the villain. I'm really flattered."

Not long after, a figure slowly appeared in front of the stone table. It was Liu Zhang, the shopkeeper of Zuixianglou.

And this Liu Zhang was the one who informed Zhang Yifeng that Su Zhirou had appeared in Snow Country.

"The shopkeeper is here this time, but what's the important thing?"

Zhang Yifeng looked at Liu Zhang with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Zhang, would you like to know any information about the inner armor you are wearing?"

Liu Zhang stood there, pursed his lips, and asked in a low voice.

"Huh? Do you know the origin of this inner armor I am wearing?"

Zhang Yifeng's eyes were solemn and he stared at Liu Zhang.

He did not ask why Liu Zhang knew about the existence of the inner armor on his body. It was meaningless to ask such a question at the moment.

"Of course, it depends on whether Mr. Zhang wants to know."

Liu Zhang replied calmly, as if he had everything under control.

"Heh...it's interesting."
