After a bumpy journey, nearly half a day later, the convoy finally arrived at Sunset City, the provincial capital of Xunbai Province.
From a distance, this splendid city was particularly majestic under the protection of steel walls, with the banner of the Yihe Kingdom on the city.
They were connected together, and company platoons of defenders on the steel walls could be faintly seen, as well as ballistae, stone cannons, trebuchets and other equipment.
The wheels of the carriage were still squeaking and squeaking, shaking the bodies of the travelers on the carriage.
Lin Muyu leaned against the inside of the wooden carriage, closed her eyes, and her whole body was full of fighting spirit.
He didn't know what was waiting for him, but it was definitely not something.
Good thing, he could even feel that Lu Zhan, who was in the Holy Heaven Realm in front of him, had bad intentions towards him, probably because he killed Bu Hai, who was also a disciple of Luo Lan.
"Commander Yu, Sunset City will be here soon."
Ding Xi said with a slight smile.
"Yeah."
Lin Muyu remained silent.
"What is Commander Yu thinking about?"
Ding Xi asked.
"I'm thinking," Lin Muyu groaned, and said, "I'm wondering if Marshal Ding Xi would have ordered the killing of my five thousand brothers from the Gentian Camp if I had decided to surrender, hand over my military power, and have all the Gentian Battalion disarm. " "Hahaha" Ding Xi couldn't help laughing, with a strange look on his face, and said: "What did Commander Yu say?
I, Ding Xi, am not Long Qianlin, and Commander Yu, you are not Feng Jixing, right?"
"Ha, yes."
Lin Muyu smiled slightly and said no more.
Soon after, the convoy arrived under the steel protective wall.
The heavy iron door under the protective wall slowly opened, and a column of people came to greet it.
There was also a man standing on the chariot under the canopy.
He was bloated and old.
It was the setting sun.
The owner of the city, Xiyang Hou Maning, was the legendary father of Man Fang, the Seventh Commander of the Empire.
Sadly, Man Fang suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of a powerful army in Dongshuang City, and then died at the hands of demons.
The motorcade slowly stopped, Man Ning stepped out of the car, cupped his fists and said: "Veteran Man Ning, please see Commander Yu."
Lin Muyu naturally knew about Man Ning, so she jumped out of the car, clasped her fists and said, "Lin Muyu sees you Junhou."
Man Ning had a fat face and trembled when he smiled: "Commander Yu is too polite.
Man Ning was very happy when he heard that Commander Yu was willing to return to Shunyi and the country.
It is rare for a commander to be so understanding of righteousness and willing to fight against Lingbei's cruel people.
The empire is cut off in two, which is a blessing for the world.
If the Yihe Kingdom has a famous general like Commander Yu, he will be able to exorcise the demon clan, destroy the empire, and unify the country."
Lin Muyu took a deep breath and said with a rather decisive expression: "I think the Lord must have misunderstood.
I am the adopted son of the Emperor and the brother of the Empress, so even if I surrender to the Yihe Kingdom, I will never do it for justice.
If He Guo contributes, he will not lead the troops of Yihe State to attack the empire."
"Haha" Man Ning laughed without feeling dissatisfied and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
As long as Commander Yu is willing to return to Shunyihe, this in itself is a great thing.
Let's go.
The veteran has already set up a banquet in the Sunset Palace.
Everyone I’m waiting for this celebration banquet for Commander Yu.”
"yes."
Lin Muyu unconsciously performed an imperial military salute, but Ding Xi, Man Ning, Lu Zhan and others saw it with dazzling eyes, as if it was a kind of irony.
The convoy continued to move slowly, but there were more and more guards around it.
Thousands of cavalry from Sunset City were guarding the surroundings, escorting Lin Muyu and others over the steel wall.
Man Ning was accompanied by a super strong man, about 40 He looks about 10 years old.
Under the spiritual pulse technique, Lin Muyu can sense the swirling fighting light in this person.

This is a strong man from the first level of the Holy Domain.
He serves as Man Ning's bodyguard.
It seems that Qin Yi is indeed I rely heavily on this sunset.
In fact, although Xunbai Province only occupies 25% of the land area of the four major Lingnan provinces, it has vast plains and thousands of hectares of fertile land.
It produces more than 60% of the grain of Yihe Kingdom.
It also has a rich population and strong soldiers and horses.
Only with the joining of Xunbai Province could the Yihe Kingdom rise so fast.
Sitting in the carriage, Lin Muyu remained silent.
What made him more relieved was that Man Ning did not order his weapons to be surrendered.
What worried him was that he was facing more and more powerful enemies.
Ding Xi didn't say anything, but Lu Zhan was a strong man from the third level of the Holy Realm, and he was with Man Ning from the first level of the Holy Realm.
Although Lin Muyu was arrogant, he knew in his heart that he was no match for him.
Unexpectedly, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to sit quietly in the carriage while watching the bustling traffic and prosperity in Sunset City.
Lanyan City was more prosperous and prosperous before the massacre.
Although it is still the same now, the massacre has always been like a lingering shadow lingering in the hearts of the people.
This difference can be seen on the faces of the people.
Ding Xi said: "After the dinner, Commander Yu will just live in my mansion.
After the order from the Chief of Lingbei Province is issued, you can move into the palace."
"Thank you, General Ding Xi."
Lin Muyu nodded, but then said: "I don't serve the Yihe Kingdom, why does Marquis Xiyang treat me so favorably?"
"This is it" Ding Xi touched his nose and looked around.
Lu Zhan had already got off the carriage and was riding a horse.
He lowered his voice and said, "Although the Yihe Kingdom successively seized most of the empire's land three years ago, His own vitality was severely damaged, until Qihai City and Muyu City sent troops to defeat him in one fell swoop.
The main force of the Yihe Kingdom has been eliminated.
So far, the empire's military strength is no longer inferior to that of the Yihe Kingdom, and it has great momentum to rise again.
Therefore, at this time, the Yihe Kingdom needs an important figure from the empire to swear surrender.
Otherwise, you think, you will be in the winter.
Shuangcheng caused the death of Marshal Manfang, will the Lord let you go?"
"That's it."
Lin Muyu smiled bitterly: "My feelings are just a chess piece that controls people's hearts."
"Yes, the ruler of Dadu and Marquis Xiyang need you just because you are the sworn brother of the empress of the empire.
Your surrender to Cheng Yihe Country will show that Yihe Kingdom is deeply popular among the people.
I remember Marquis Xiyang once said that as long as you, Lin Muyu, surrender to Chengyi A peaceful country is better than a hundred thousand troops."
"I see."
Lin Muyu leaned on the wooden board of the carriage, feeling slumped.
Ding Xi smiled: "But Commander Yu, don't be too sad.
You have already stated that you will not attack the empire for the Yihe Kingdom.
Commander Qin Yi will never break your promise, but the Yihe Kingdom may use you to fight the devils." clan.”
"Fight the Demons" "Yes, the Longdan Battalion led by Commander Yu has been victorious in consecutive battles in the Qinling Mountains, killing the Demon Clan's armored demon army and retreating in succession.
This news has spread all over the world, don't you know?"
"No."
Lin Muyu slowly shook her head and said, "I have been tired of fighting these days, so how can I find the time to understand this."
After saying that, he glanced at Ding Xi and said with a smile: "General Ding Xi, aren't you tired of war?"
"This" Ding Xi lowered his eyes and smiled: "Who would want to live a life of licking blood from the knife edge?
Ding Xi is not talented.

He was selected by the Marquis of Sunset and became one of the seven commanders.
He should be grateful for his service, so I I can’t rest yet.
In fact, I, Ding Xi, wish the world Unify as soon as possible, either the Yihe Kingdom or the Empire.
After unification, I, the marshal, will immediately disband and return to the fields, find a mountain village, plant a bamboo forest, raise a pond of fish, marry a wife, and give birth to three or five children.
Children, wandering clouds and wild cranes, are at ease.”
Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't expect General Ding Xi to be so useless."
Ding Xi was not angry, he rubbed his nose and said: "In a hundred years of life, there are so many things to care about.
Ding Xi is not as persistent as Commander Yu.
I am actually a quite selfish person, and I will never be like Commander Yu."
For the sake of a word, I will risk my life for a relationship.”
Lin Muyu was surprised, Ding Xi seemed to have something on his mind.
Ding Xi just smiled faintly, but his eyes seemed to see through everything.
This look was exactly the same as the look in his eyes that deliberately let Qin Yin survive during the turmoil outside Lanyan City.
"Thank you, General Ding Xi."
Lin Muyu said in a voice as loud as a gnat.
"You're welcome."
Ding Xi cupped his fists and smiled, and said: "When I heard that Commander Yu was not killed, many generals in the Yihe Kingdom were filled with indignation and even alarmed Immortal Luo Lan.
I, Ding Xi, am the only one who is glad that Commander Yu is not dead."
"Why" "Because the world is in complete turmoil.
Demons are descending from the sky from Tongtian Province and are unstoppable.
It would be a pity if a heroic general like Commander Yu dies."
"Ha, the marshal is so complimentary" Lin Muyu cupped her hands and stopped talking.
Her body swayed slightly with the carriage, and her eyes fell on the scenery outside the window.
The people of Sunset City were crowding on both sides of the road and looking at this place.
Many people It seemed that they had never seen Sunset Hou Maning before.
He pointed and looked respectful, but no one recognized Lin Muyu on the carriage.
After all, in the eyes of the people, the status of a monarch was much higher than that of an army commander.
The commander was in They seemed so far away.
Until nightfall, the convoy finally entered the Sunset Palace, a majestic palace.
Man Ning spent a huge amount of money to build this private palace for nearly ten years.
It can be said to be extremely extravagant.
The moment Lin Muyu stepped off the carriage, she found that Even the steps of the outer hall of the Sunset Palace are gilded, which makes the luxury inside even more conceivable.
Xiyang Hou Maning stepped forward, raised his hand to hold Lin Muyu's wrist, and said with a smile: "Commander Yu, please follow the veteran in.
The celebration banquet has been set up, and all the senior generals and officials stationed in Sunset City have participated.
There are even some There are some old acquaintances of Commander Yu."
"Old acquaintance" Lin Muyu was stunned: "Who is it?"
"Shen Yang, a member of the Qin family's Tianchong Legion, do you recognize him?"
"know" "He had already surrendered to the Yihe Kingdom during the Lanyan City Rebellion.
In addition, more than 30 senior generals of the empire also surrendered to the Yihe Kingdom.
Many of their names are still on your national monument.
It’s so ridiculous.”
Man Ning's face made no secret of his disgust for the Qin Empire
