Chapter 988 Ambition and Fantasy! You Can, but They... Can't!
The loss this time is the price.
Having paid such a huge price, we must learn a lesson.
…
On the Liuli Dynasty side.
After accepting the mission yesterday, Nangong Xingyu set out for the area of the Slaughter Palace early.
And the purpose is very clear, that is to make peace.
To put it nicely, it is to make peace, and to put it bluntly, it is to surrender.
After all, the current Liuli Dynasty is just an empty shell and has no deterrent power at all.
Even if a stronger first-class force comes, it can bully the current Liuli Dynasty.
That's the reality.
Although the surrounding forces have also encroached on some of the land of the Liuli Dynasty, it is impossible to go further.
The behemoth of the Slaughter Palace is still there. If the other party takes action against them after dealing with the Liuli Dynasty, it will be a disaster.
Therefore, they also stopped when they saw the good, and did not continue to push forward.
It is precisely because they know to stop when they see the good that they were not targeted.
Otherwise, they would not know how they died.
Nangong Xingyu was full of confidence and thought that this mission should be very simple and there would not be any big problems.
But he didn't know that what was waiting for him would be... there would be no return!
This time, in order to allow Nangong Xingyu to reach the destination smoothly to meet the Lord of the Killing Fairy Palace, Nangong Ji made some special preparations.
The three hundred armored soldiers with Nangong Xingyu were not simple troops, but from the Imperial Guards.
It was one of the most powerful armies of Nangong Ji, with a total number of only three thousand people.
Being able to allocate three hundred to Nangong Xingyu was already extremely important.
Of course, there was also the intention of monitoring Nangong Xingyu's thoughts.
Who knows if Nangong Xingyu will escape at this critical moment?
Such a possibility cannot be ruled out.
At this moment of life and death, the desire to survive cannot be judged by common sense.
Along the way, Nangong Xingyu has been thinking about how to make the Killing Fairy Palace stop.
If the other party is unwilling to give up, what should we do next?
These issues need to be considered.
Nangong Xingyu must consider all the issues as comprehensively as possible in order to make effective responses.
As the second prince, Nangong Xingyu certainly does not want to lose this war.
But now that things have come to this point, surrender is inevitable.
But no matter what, the Liuli Dynasty should still exist after surrendering.
This time he went to the Killing Palace, in addition to expressing his idea of surrender, he also wanted to be able to show his loyalty to the Killing Palace.
If he can get the support of the Killing Palace, then he can rise to prominence.
Even... directly replace his father to ascend the throne.
Even if he will be subject to many restrictions as an emperor at that time, he will always be the emperor anyway.
The emperor has great power, and he can do whatever he wants at that time.
He just needs to kowtow in front of the Killing Palace.
A day passed in a blink of an eye.
Nangong Xingyu finally arrived at his destination successfully under the protection of the Imperial Guards.
The original destination was a city farther away, but the Slaughter Palace was too fast and had already reached this city.
Therefore, it only took one day to reach the new city of the Slaughter Palace.
Looking at the city that originally belonged to the Liuli Dynasty and now belongs to the Slaughter Palace, Nangong Xingyu was full of emotion in his heart.
Unfortunately, this is not useful for his emotion.
When Nangong Xingyu arrived, the city gate had already opened directly, as if to welcome him in.
Looking at the gate not far away, Nangong Xingyu was very nervous at the moment.
Once you enter here, it is hard to say whether you can come out alive smoothly.
"Huh!"
After a long breath, Nangong Xingyu walked in front with big strides.
Just as he was about to enter the city, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.
"Routine inspection."
The soldiers guarding the city could naturally see that Nangong Xingyu was of extraordinary status.
But the rules here are what they should be, and he doesn't care what the other party's identity is.
As for whether the other party will abide by the rules, this is not something he needs to worry about at all.
Once someone disobeys the rules and acts recklessly, the fate that awaits him will be very troublesome.
When he learned that he also had a routine inspection, Nangong Xingyu was immediately furious.
A tiger in a low position is bullied by a dog!
Unexpectedly, he, the second prince of the Liuli Dynasty, would be treated differently in this way.
How could he feel comfortable?
Even if he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he could only endure it honestly and did not dare to say anything more.
As for getting angry, Nangong Xingyu had never thought about it.
He came here just to be able to negotiate.
If he messed up before the negotiation, he would really be in trouble.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Nangong Xingyu honestly accepted the inspection.
After Nangong Xingyu and his servants entered the city, the 300-man guards were directly stopped outside.
They could not go in at will, after all, it was an army of 300 people, so as not to cause some trouble.
Seeing that the army protecting him was stopped, Nangong Xingyu was naturally a little unhappy and said quickly.
"They came with me, can't they go in?"
The soldier who had just checked him just looked at him calmly and shook his head slightly.
"No! You and your servants can go in, but they can't.
Either go in, or... leave."
The attitude was very tough. He, the second prince of the Liuli Dynasty, had no face at all here.
Clenching his fist unwillingly, Nangong Xingyu felt very aggrieved for no reason, but he knew that he had no right to vent his anger.
As the other party said, it was up to him to go in or not.
After a short silence, Nangong Xingyu had to loosen his fist and finally chose to go in.
What was the purpose of coming here.
He was here to make peace with the Killing Immortal Palace and gain the other party's understanding.
Even if a series of unequal treaties were signed for this, as long as the Liuli Dynasty was still there, it would not be a problem.
As for the so-called loss of power and humiliation of the country, it did not exist at all for Nangong Xingyu.
It only made sense to ensure that the Liuli Dynasty continued to exist.
If the Liuli Dynasty no longer exists, and the country is destroyed and the family is ruined, what is the point?
Nangong Xingyu said to the three hundred guards with a cold face.
"You stay here and wait for this prince to come back."
Nangong Xingyu thought he had to take this risk.
As long as he could complete this mission, the probability of him becoming the heir would be a little higher.
He absolutely could not let his sister continue to become stronger, and he had to find a way to catch up.
