Chapter 195 Long live my emperor
Chapter 195 Long live my emperor
Leng Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the city gate with a sharp look.
She gripped the crescent-shaped sword tightly in her hand, and she had not expected that the battle would end so easily.
Therefore, no one was arranged to open the city gate from the inside.
But at this moment the city gate was opened, obviously for them.
After the city gate opened a gap one person wide, Leng Qingyi saw a familiar figure through the gap.
Then his brows relaxed, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, and a playful smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
After the city gates were opened, Tuoba Jin and some of the Beidong officials who were still in the royal court knelt down and saluted.
"Welcome our emperor! Long live our emperor!"
Tuoba Jin spoke first.
Then they all chanted in unison: "Welcome our emperor! Long live the emperor!"
Leng Qingyi rode the Dajin horse a few steps forward and saw Tuoba Jin and a group of Beidong officials, with the Beidong people kneeling in the street behind them.
The curve of his mouth couldn't help but become more pronounced.
"Third Prince, what does this mean?"
Leng Qingyi naturally understood what Tuoba Jin meant, but still asked.
The purpose is to see whether Tuoba Jin is truly surrendering or just trying to survive.
Tuoba Jin lowered his brows and bowed again.
"Tuoba Kui was incompetent, stubborn, and self-righteous. He confuses right and wrong and is inhumane. He didn't care about the lives of 200,000 Beidong soldiers and even killed his own son with his own hands. This tyrannical and cruel ruler is hated and despised by all the people of Beidong."
"Thanks to Heaven for allowing the Emperor to come to Beidong in person to save the people of Beidong from disaster."
"Now I, Tuoba Jin, represent the Northern Winter Royal Family!"
As soon as Tuoba Jin finished speaking, a burly man behind him spoke.
"I, Helian Shuhu, represent the officials and tribal leaders of Beidong!"
Just as Helian Shuhu finished speaking, another voice came from behind the officials.
Several people followed suit and spoke up: "We represent the people of Beidong!"
"Surrender today!"
"Surrender!"
"Surrender!"
Leng Qingyi scratched his ears as he listened to the words of surrender one after another.
He looked at Tuoba Jin meaningfully, who had lowered his eyebrows but still kept his back straight.
He then got off the tiger, walked over to Tuoba Jin and helped him up personally.
"Thank you, my emperor."
Tuoba Jin was extremely respectful. After being helped up by Leng Qingyi, he stood obediently beside Leng Qingyi.
"Everyone, get up. I am not a bloodthirsty person. Since you have surrendered, you are all my people of Dongxia. I will definitely protect you from now on."
"Thank you, my emperor! Long live the emperor!"
"Thank you, my emperor! Long live the emperor!"
"Thank you, my emperor! Long live the emperor!"
Although he didn't know whether their surrender was real or fake, Leng Qing was very satisfied when he heard these neat words.
He glanced at Tuoba Jin who was standing obediently behind him, then turned around and rode on the Dajin.
"Third Prince, please lead the way. I will also go to see the tyrant and incompetent ruler you are talking about."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please follow me."
Tuoba Jin walked in front, leading the way for Leng Qingyi and the 20,000 troops behind him.
The ministers and common people all stepped aside tactfully to make way for them.
Although Tuoba Jin was walking, his speed was not slow.
Leng Qingyi could tell from his footsteps that he was a martial artist.
He recalled how Tuoba Jin looked when he met him in the capital.
At that time, there was no sign of martial arts training in his behavior.
Maybe she had never paid attention to him, or maybe Tuoba Jin was hiding it deliberately.
Now that it was so obvious, Leng Qingyi roughly understood the meaning.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, one of the people kneeling quietly on the street suddenly stood up.
He pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and rushed towards Leng Qingyi.
Leng Qing raised an eyebrow, but sat as steady as a rock.
His eyes moved to the figure in front of him with his back straight.
Sure enough, when the man was about to approach Leng Qingyi, the person in front moved.
Tuoba Jin turned around and rushed to Leng Qingyi and Da Jin.
He stopped the man who was about to commit a crime with his bare hands, snatched the man's dagger with a few moves, and slit his throat.
After quickly dealing with the man, he ignored the blood splattered on his face and knelt at Dajin's feet to apologize.
"It was my negligence. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Leng Qingyi didn't care and smiled calmly.
"Third Prince, don't blame yourself. There are always some bad apples in the world."
"Just don't let these few bad apples affect the other people of Beidong."
Tuoba Jin is not a fool, so he naturally understands the reason.
The Emperor of Dongxia didn't care whether this was a real emergency or a deliberate show for him.
If such a situation happens again, the promise of not killing people and protecting them may change.
After all, he is now at the mercy of the people of Beidong.
His expression couldn't help but look a little ugly, and he glanced at the officials of Beidong who were walking behind Leng Qingyi.
Nothing happened during the rest of the journey, and Tuoba Jin and Leng Qing and others arrived at the palace safely.
At this time, the palace gate was open and there was no guard guarding inside.
It was obviously opened intentionally for Leng Qingyi.
Leng Qing was not polite at all and strode towards the palace on his big golden horse.
He ordered the soldiers to take away all the valuables in the palace.
Leng Qingyi's move was not excessive. Logically speaking, they could take away everything from the homes of all the people in the royal court.
Who made them the victors?
Even killing all the Beidong people wouldn't be too much.
Who asked them to kill the Dongxia people first?
Not only did Tuoba Jin not object, he even showed the soldiers where the private treasury of Beidong Khan was and where the gold, silver, treasures, etc. were.
He was very satisfied with Tuoba Jin's tactfulness and indifference.
She was not worried about any ambush in the palace because she had a backup plan.
"Take me to see your Northern Winter Khan."
"Yes, my king, please follow me."
Tuoba Jin brought Leng Qingyi and others to Tuoba Kui's bedroom.
He took out the key from his sleeve and opened the door to the Khan's bedroom.
Obviously, the Khan of Beidong has been imprisoned by Tuoba Jin and a group of Beidong's ministers.
Tuoba Jin was the first to enter Tuoba Kui's bedroom.
After searching around, I couldn't find Tuoba Kui.
Instead, they discovered an open secret passage from Tuoba Kui's bed.
Tuoba Jin couldn't help but feel his heart sink, and looked nervously at Leng Qingyi who followed in.
"Your Majesty, this... I didn't know there was a secret passage here."
"It's okay, he shouldn't have gotten far, just send someone after him."
Tuoba Jin, with a grim expression, asked someone to go through the secret passage to chase Tuoba Kui.
"By the way, I heard that your gunpowder was given to you by the Fifth Prince of Nanqiu?"
Tuoba Jin nodded.
"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case."
"He's an acquaintance, take me to meet him."
"Yes."
When the group arrived at Lu Jinmin's residence, nothing was unusual.
Those guarding the courtyard were all Lu Jinmin's confidants, and there was no sign that this place was under Tuoba Jin's control.
When the people in the yard saw someone coming, they all became alert.
But none of them were as fast as the people led by Leng Qi and Leng Ba.
They fell to the ground without even making a sound.
