Chapter 5504 Temporary Meeting

"Ok?"

Ge Wen looked at Zhang Yifeng solemnly, but did not dare to act rashly for a moment.

He didn't know what Zhang Yifeng was going to do. It was obvious that he was doomed to die, but he let him go.

From the attack just now, Ge Wen could see that Zhang Yifeng's strength was definitely higher than his own.

In this situation where the other party has complete control over the situation, Zhang Yifeng actually wants to let him go. Ge Wen really can't guess what he is thinking.

As a general who has fought in many battles for many years, Ge Wen couldn't help but be alert to such strange things.

"Don't worry, Senior Ge Wen. I don't have the habit of playing dirty tricks in secret."

"Since I am willing to make way, I will naturally not stop you any further."

"Not only that, I can also ensure that Senior Ge Wen can safely leave the Snow Country and return to the Tianyu Empire."

"But the eldest prince is dead now. If Senior Ge Wen returns to the empire, I'm afraid he will only be punished."

Zhang Yifeng spoke in a calm tone and warned Ge Wen.

"Your Excellency will not have to worry about these matters."

Ge Wen stared and said, and then he was ready to pass Zhang Yifeng and leave the Snow Country directly.

"Wait, if Senior Ge Wen leaves now, won't he regret it?"

Zhang Yifeng stopped Ge Wen and asked in a deep voice.

"Regret? That's ridiculous. I, Ge Wenzhong, love my country. Even if I die after returning this time, I can leave a good name for the rest of my life!"

Ge Wen looked back and said coldly.

"Really? But I don't think the royal family of the Tianyu Empire sees this matter in this way."

"Senior Ge Wen, I wonder which is more important to you, the country or the family?"

Zhang Yifeng raised his eyebrows and asked quietly.

"It's the country, of course. Without a country, there would be no home!"

Ge Wen snorted coldly and replied in a firm tone.

"Since you are loyal to the country, why do you still help the royal family to commit atrocities?"

"Can't you see, senior, that the existence of the royal family will only make the lives of the people of the Tianyu Empire even more miserable?"

"Although I have only been in the imperial city of Tianyu Empire for less than a day, I can already see that the people there are living in fear day and night."

"Is this the country you want to serve in your heart?"

Zhang Yifeng stared at Ge Wen and asked a question that hit the heart.

"I……"

Ge Wen was speechless for a moment. He wanted to say something to refute Zhang Yifeng, but he couldn't find any point to refute.

As a general of the empire, he is more aware of the dark side of the empire.

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. I hope you can understand this truth."

"After all, the Tianyu Empire should not be the world of one family, but the world of millions of families."

"Since the roots are already rotten, why not cut them off and plant a new one that you have carefully nurtured."

Zhang Yifeng spoke eloquently, and Ge Wen, who could not find any reason to refute, could only lower his head and think about his words.

After a while, Ge Wen slowly raised his head and sighed, "I finally understand why Yun Ting rebelled against the empire and joined your camp."

"These words made even me waver in my resolve."

"You seem to want me to return to the empire, but in fact you just want me to experience the ruthlessness of the royal family more deeply."

"You don't have to worry about it this time. I will not return to the empire, but I will not join your ranks either."

"Until you have fought the final victor of the empire, I will then choose my destination."

After saying this, Ge Wen sighed deeply and walked back to Zhang Yifeng.

"Senior Ge Wen is truly a man of great wisdom."

Although Ge Wen revealed his intention, Zhang Yifeng still smiled.

After taking a deep look at Ge Wen, Zhang Yifeng didn't expect that the other party, a military general who was blindly loyal to the empire, could see through his thoughts.

The reason why Zhang Yifeng let Ge Wen go so easily was that he was prepared to let him experience firsthand the many disgusting things that would happen after he returned to the empire.

Once the Emperor of Tianyu Empire learned about his son, all the troops he sent out were wiped out.

Only Ge Wen is left to go back. No matter how loyal Ge Wen is to the empire, he will definitely be on guard.

Even if they didn't cause trouble for Ge Wen at first, they would continue to test him secretly.

Even worse, they would look for opportunities to assign Ge Wen some fatal tasks, or directly kill Ge Wen in secret.

After all, for the emperor, Ge Wen's safe and sound return to the empire made people feel wary no matter how they looked at it.

Obviously, Ge Wen had seen through Zhang Yifeng's little trick and decided not to leave.

This result is not unacceptable to Zhang Yifeng.

After all, at least Ge Wen can be sure that he will not help the empire again. From another perspective, this also completes Zhang Yifeng's plan against him.

The outcome was decided at this point. After the death of the eldest prince, the generals on the giant ship quickly chose to surrender.

Some of the generals who had long been dissatisfied with the eldest prince also joined the Snow Country camp after being persuaded by their subordinates.

Only some older generals were left, who were too reserved to bear the stigma of treason.

And those imperial soldiers joined the Snow Country camp with almost no resistance.

They do not have as many considerations as the generals, so they can naturally distinguish between good and bad.

When Lu Shang and others attacked the imperial soldiers before, they always knocked the men unconscious and never took their lives.

Such magnanimous and gentlemanly behavior won the hearts of many Lu merchants.

In addition, the eldest prince kept using insidious tactics, which further highlighted Lu Shang's personal charm.

Under the orderly command of Lu Ji and his son, the nearly 200,000 troops were integrated and quickly gathered all the warships.

The Snow Country's barrier was also adjusted back to normal by Wan Renxue and others.

Zhang Yifeng was standing on the giant ship at this moment, and standing around him were all the high-ranking officials of the Snow Country at that time.

The four people including the Lu family father and son, the Snow Country Lord Wan Renxue, Elder Ma, and Zhao Yunting who had just joined the Snow Country camp.

Currently, in the integrated army, Zhao Yunting’s reputation is second only to the Lu family father and son.

Naturally, he attended this temporary meeting as a representative of the former imperial soldiers.

"Congratulations, Lord of All Nations, for having survived this crisis safely."

"Now that Senior Lu Ji and his nearly 200,000-man army are in charge, the Snow Country can be safe."

Zhang Yifeng chuckled and bowed to Wan Renxue.

"I don't deserve it. If it weren't for Mr. Zhang's help, our Snow Country wouldn't have been able to survive the attacks of the Tianyu Empire unscathed."

"Mr. Zhang should be credited with the greatest contribution to this success."

Wan Renxue shook his head slightly and said with a serious expression.

"Let's not talk about this. What is the Lord of Ten Thousand Nations going to do next?"
