C439 Immobility of the Siege
"Sister, are you really planning to call Association of 100 to kill the enemy?"
When they returned to the location of the Association of 100, Little White asked without holding back. Annoyed and irritated, Luo Jianjian never responded.
"I don't know."
"You don't know? Don't you know you actually agreed to Kulun Juele's request? What, you want to flee with Association of 100 through the night? How about I take out all of the Invisibility Pill s and feed them to the Association of 100 s so that we can leave the Hailuan during the night? "
Little White said excitedly, but Luo Jianjian shook her head. Lil 'White didn't understand what she was hesitating about.
"Why? Let's just leave. "
"How can I just leave like that? Was he going to let the people of Hailuan die in the war without a care? We've lived here in the Hailuan Capital City for several months, and they have treated me quite well! I can't just leave them behind. I have to think of a way to stop the war. "
"Oh, you think too much! In this matter of life and death, you always want to interfere! I still have Pill s here that I can call invulnerable, so you can just send them on the battlefield to kill the enemy. We will definitely be able to win with Hailuan just by relying on them! "
"That won't do either!"
Little White had another idea, but it was still refuted by Luo Jianjian.
"Why not?"
"What I want is a method to stop the war, not to win and fight! Whether it's the Heaven's Enlightenment or the Hailuan, I don't want to … "
"Sister, you are putting me in a difficult position."
Little White shook its head speechlessly and lay on the side dejectedly. It did not want to bother with Luo Jianjian anymore. Luo Jianjian frowned and thought for a long time before she suddenly looked at Lil 'White.
"Little White, tell me, if I reveal my identity to Murong Yun, will he possibly stop the battle for me?"
"This... I don't know. Man's heart is like the bottom of the sea. After all, you have disappeared for so long, who knows? What's more, this Murong Yun must have a reason for using the Hailuan. What if he just wanted this sea of Hailuan? What's more, Murong Yun was now an emperor. The heart of an emperor was even harder to fathom. "Ever since Murong Yun ascended the throne, he has always been called a tyrant. I believe he is definitely scary …"
Luo Jianjian was even more uncertain after hearing what Xiao Bai said. She was afraid that she had overestimated herself and wanted to use her strength to persuade Murong Yun to give up the campaign. If she failed, she would never have the courage to return.
He hadn't slept the entire night, and the street outside the door was in chaos as well. They were all preparing for the war tomorrow, and from time to time, they heard an urgent report from the outside. It was all bad news.
When the sky brightened, Kulun Juele brought some people to deliver the armor, and urged the Association of 100 to prepare to defend the city.
In the end, Luo Jianjian still could not think of a way to make both of them beautiful, and could only make Association of 100 wear armor.
"Boss is truly sorry. Originally, he wanted to bring you all back, but in the end, he ended up like this …"
Luo Jianjian's eyes were filled with grief as her Association of 100 was also very weak. They had never thought that they would be on the battlefield, and even more so, be enemies with their own people.
"All you need to do is to remember to protect yourselves and the people within the Hailuan Capital City. "Don't take the initiative to attack or provoke me. I will think of a way to stop this battle as soon as possible."
Luo Jianjian had already made up her mind in her heart to find an opportunity to reveal her identity to Luo Chengjun. Whether it worked or not, she wanted to give it a try.
"It's here!" Highness the Prince! The Heavenly Awakening Army has arrived! "
A soldier hurriedly ran in and reported while gasping for breath. In an instant, Kulun Juele's face turned ashen. Although he had known that there would be a moment, when it really did come, it was still suffocating.
Luo Jianjian followed Kulun Juele up to the city gate tower. Seeing that there was no more than a hundred meters between them and the city gate, the army of the Black Wind Army no longer dared to advance forward.
The Hailuan Capital City that was right in front of their eyes, yet they seemed to not be in that much of a hurry. It was just a siege, camped a hundred meters away, with no intention of attacking.
"What do they mean?"
Kulun Juele did not understand. He was afraid that it was some kind of conspiracy, so he felt uneasy.
Luo Jianjian frowned as she looked at the army from afar, only to see a touch of gold. Only the emperor could wear golden armor.2
Murong Yun's sudden stagnation made Luo Jianjian heave a sigh of relief. At least, his Association of 100 wouldn't need to enter the battlefield for the time being.
However, no one knew how long this siege would last. Furthermore, this was not a long-term solution.
After being besieged for one day, two days … Murong Yun still did not have any intention of attacking, so he just stood a hundred meters away.
The people in the city were anxious, and the soldiers who had no chance of winning became even more restless. Kulun Juele saw that this wouldn't do if this went on. He gathered all the officials and discussed with them what would happen next. Luo Jianjian was among them.
"What is Murong Yun thinking?"
"I'm afraid that he's going to defeat my morale, and then easily take down my Capital City with a flip of his hand."
"Didn't you see the forces of the Heaven's Enlightenment? You do not need to defeat the morale of the troops; you can take over the capital as easily as turning over a hand! "
The ministers kept guessing. Luo Jianjian was silent. She couldn't understand why Murong Yun was like that either.
"Royal Father, in this subject's opinion, Tian Qi has never taken the initiative to launch a battle in the past. Since they were born in the mainland, they have never been interested in the places near the sea. There must be a reason for him to suddenly make a move. Now that he was guarding the capital, he did not attack. Could it be... Want us to reflect on ourselves? Waiting for us to voluntarily give in? "
Kulun Juele's words made a bit of sense. The king and ministers nodded in agreement. Luo Jianjian frowned, she knew that Murong Yun was a person who would take revenge no matter what. But I'm not waiting for you to explain that I'm wrong...
However, seeing that everyone agreed, she did not open her mouth to argue.
"Your Majesty, since we are destined to be unable to win, and Murong Yun does not have the intention of killing my Hailuan, why don't we give in!"
The ministers began admonishing him. They did not want their families to be ruined. Even though the king had an ugly expression on his face and was unwilling to lower his head, for the greater picture, he could only nod his head in assent.
"Now, this is the only way. "Kulun, arrange someone to send a letter out of the city, expressing that we are willing to negotiate. As long as the heavens don't mention anything excessive, we are willing to cooperate."
"Yes, Royal Father!"
The discussion was over and Luo Jianjian said nothing. She returned to the tower, still staring at the gold. She noticed that Murong Yun had also been standing at the front of the tents, looking towards the tower.
He was also looking for something just like himself. Luo Jianjian had been hiding in the darkness the entire time, yet she hadn't told him to look at her. She suddenly had the urge to step out and meet his gaze.
Luo Jianjian put on her veil and carefully walked to the stone railing of the city gate tower. She looked at Murong Yun in shock.
When Murong Yun saw the beautiful silhouette of the city gate tower, he suddenly froze, then his face revealed a smile.
