Chapter 334: The Foolish Emperor's Fake Surrender

Thinking of the miserable situation of the Shen family that day, Ying Yi's eyes turned red, and he waited for Ji Mo viciously. However, he could not bring himself to let Li Yaoguang leave the city at the risk of being exposed, because he knew in his heart that once he was really exposed, Li Yaoguang would probably face the same fate as the Shen family that day. For the sake of his master, he did not dare to take the risk!
Yingyi gave up, but Ji Mo was still worried. While Yingyi went back to make arrangements, Ji Mo secretly led Li Yaoguang and his party to hide in the secret vault of Qijitang, put away food and water, and gave instructions.

"Aunt, Yaoguang, you stay here for the next few days. Don't go anywhere. No matter what happens outside, you are not allowed to show up until I come back."

Yu Meixue and the others were surprised, and Li Yaoguang even grabbed Ji Mo's arm and said, "Brother, aren't you coming with us?"

Ji Mo looked down at the hand that was tightly holding his arm and smiled, "Be good, big brother can't stay here. It's chaotic outside. If I don't watch, if something happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to move you in time."

For the safety of his beloved girl, he must stay outside and be ready to respond to any changes at any time.

What he didn't say was that he was afraid that Yingyi and his gang would cause trouble!
Ji Mo didn't say anything, but Li Yaoguang couldn't really leave his father and brother alone outside.

Although I call him "big brother", he is not my biological brother and has no obligation to protect me all the time. Although I cannot repay him for saving my life, if I wanted to repay him, my father and brother would have already repaid him for saving my life.

If she only knows how to accept others' kindness and let them risk their lives for her, what kind of person is she? Where is her morality?
Li Yaoguang held on tightly and refused to let go. "No, big brother, you stay. It's dangerous outside. If there's a disaster, we can just handle it together. We can't let you shoulder all the risks and burdens alone."

Yu Meixue, Aunt Qiu, Yingchun and the others all nodded, "Yes, Brother Mo, Guang'er is right."

Li Qifeng also said: "Brother Ji, Yaoguang is right. There is no reason for you to suffer alone. At worst, we can die together!"

Even the young Yang Ge'er, Yi Ge'er, and Yaoyao all looked at Ji Mo with the same attitude.

Ji Mo glanced at everyone one by one, feeling relieved that his long-term efforts were not in vain. Looking at Li Yaoguang's tightly holding hand, Ji Mo's heart was filled with sweetness.

"Aunt, Yaoguang, Qifeng, and everyone else, don't worry. You won't die. I'm sure you all know my abilities. If it's just me, it won't be a problem for me to survive. On the contrary, you must stand up to Ji Mo in this secret vault and don't make any noise, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in time for your help."

"But……"

"No buts, it's decided, Yaoguang, be obedient." Ji Mo said gently, his eyes left Li Yaoguang and looked at Li Qifeng beside him and said: "Qifeng, I'll leave this to you, are you ok with it?"

Li Qifeng nodded. Being stared at by Ji Mo's trusting eyes, he subconsciously straightened his chest and nodded, "I can do it, Brother Ji."

"Well, I'll leave everything up to you. Take good care of everyone and wait for me."

"Okay, don't worry, Brother Ji."

At this moment, Li Yaoguang suddenly said: "Brother, my brother will come with you." The room suddenly became quiet. Yu Meixue and the others were silent, but Ji Mo disagreed and was about to shake his head, but was interrupted by Li Yaoguang.

"Brother, don't rush to refuse. You know my temper and my abilities. I can't let you take risks alone. We should stay together. There's no reason for you to take risks for me. Besides, if we stay together, we can at least take care of each other if something happens. What do you think, aunt?"

Being looked at like this by her own niece, what else could Yu Meixue say?

What her own child said is right. There is no reason to let other people's children always sacrifice for them. They are still young and are the treasures of their elders. She cannot take it for granted.

Why don't you let your children go and go by yourself?
Yu Meixue is self-aware and knows that she is useless and cannot cause trouble.

Under Li Yaoguang's determined gaze, Yu Meixue could only nod, no matter how reluctant she was, "Yes, Brother Mo, I believe in you, and I believe in Guang'er, I'm relieved that you can take care of each other, remember that your family is waiting for you here, no matter what, you must come back safely."

What else could Ji Mo say? His little girl was so worried about him, which made Ji Mo feel warm in his heart. He believed that with his ability, it would not be a problem to protect his beloved girl. So he nodded subconsciously, "Okay, don't worry, auntie, we will come back safely."

Just like this, Yu Meixue and the others were left to hide in the secret vault, while Li Yaoguang and Ji Mo stayed upstairs to watch and see what would happen.

On the one hand, he was worried about his aunt and the others, and on the other hand, he was worried whether his uncle would also come with the army. At this moment, Li Yaoguang, who was ready for battle outside the city, had no idea how fierce the upcoming battle would be.

She followed behind her father and brother, and the two of them carefully hid their figures and stood guard outside, watching the atmosphere in the city become more and more tense day by day. They watched Yingyi and his men become as anxious as ants on a hot pan, secretly planning to contact the army outside and send messages but failing to do so. They became more and more anxious day by day, and also saw the cruelty of the tyrant in the city and the end of this dynasty.

It was very surprising that the Shen family army surrounded the city but did not attack. It was not known whether it was because they were afraid of the rebels and refugees outside the city, or for some other reason. In short, the Shen family army's inaction gave the tyrant emperor a chance to catch his breath, and also allowed him and his incompetent ministers to come up with a solution.

Seeing that the food in the city was decreasing day by day, and the people were starving, the emperor was afraid that the food in the city would not be able to feed the soldiers for half a month. The emperor became anxious, and summoned his ministers widely, and even summoned Prime Minister Qin regardless of past grudges. It was a rare occasion that all the ministers discussed the matter together. In order to save the dynasty, the emperor looked righteous and willing to make sacrifices. He listened to the advice of Prime Minister Qin and his party, issued an edict of repentance, saying that he was ashamed of his ancestors and the people of the world, and he blamed himself. For the safety of the people and to avoid the ravages of war, he voluntarily surrendered to the rebels, deceived the trust of the rebel leader, and entered the city to accept the surrender.

Poor rebel leader, no matter how smart he was, he was born in the countryside and had limited vision. He could not have expected that the king of a country could be so frivolous and that a dignified king would not even care about his reputation to deceive him.

He was so happy that he thought he was destined to surrender. Even the emperor had surrendered. He felt that his ancestors' graves were smoking. He was so happy that he lost his mind. Led by the "surrendered" ministers who had left the city, he happily led thousands of his strong confidants into the city, happily preparing to take over the defense of Yuezhou and accept the surrender of the tyrant.

Unfortunately, after entering the city, before he even saw the emperor, the chief was dazzled by the banquet and food that he had never seen in his life, the palace maids serving at the banquet, and the swaying singing and dancing. He felt elated and believed everything people said and complimented him.

Sitting on the high throne that only the emperor can sit on, looking down on the world, below him are the prime minister and ministers who were once high and mighty and unattainable, showing him endless respect. By bowing his head in humility, the vanity of the rebel leader was satisfied as never before.

So, he believed whatever others said.
