Chapter 4 The Last Persuasion to Surrender

It has been more than a month since the last time the barbarians attacked the city.

But Gu Changan patrolled the watchtower day and night, and he knew that this was the calm before the storm.

On this day, several ferocious camels appeared outside the city. The leader was wearing a red dress and a purple scarf. She took off her felt hat and looked at Kucha City.

"Desolate and desolate, this city is out of place in the vast and turbulent desert."

The woman's voice is clear and penetrating.

"I think it's beautiful." Gu Changjing stood quietly at the top of the city.

"Tuoba Weiyang, the princess of the Barbarian Empire." The woman announced her family name.

Gu Changan didn't answer the call again.

Tuoba Weiyang smiled, raised her snow-white face, and asked seriously:

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

Gu Changan's face was expressionless, and his gentle voice carried far away with the wind, "If you can tolerate this city, I will live. If you can't tolerate it, I will kill you."

"Surrender." Tuoba Weiyang waved to the attendant, who handed over a document intertwined with python and dragon.

"Whether you ride in the rivers and lakes, drink in the mountains and rivers, or sing in the temples and point your sword at the battlefield, the empire is yours to choose."

"This is the first time to formally persuade us to surrender, and it will also be the last time. You'd better think about it carefully."

After his serious voice fell, Tuoba Weiyang held the document between his fingers, flicked his wrist and shot it towards the city.

Clang!

With a swing of the sword, the document shattered into powder in the air.

Tuoba Weiyang stared into his eyes angrily and said coldly:

"Anxi Army was left alone when he was about to die. He went to the underworld to ask where his descendants were. It is foolish to shake a tree with an earthworm, but it is most ridiculous to strike an egg against a stone!"

"As long as you don't regret it, that's fine." Gu Changan replied with a smile.

"Yu Zhong!" Tuoba Weiyang's face became even colder, and his voice became sharper with his emotions:

"The information has been blocked for sixty years. The Central Plains will never want to know the story of your Anxi Army. It's ridiculous that the Divine Continent is divided into seven countries. Who dares to get involved in Yumen Pass?"

"I don't want you to be more desperate. The way of heaven will sweep over the Great Barbarian Empire. The fortunes of the country will be exhausted, and the glory of the Central Plains will no longer exist!"

"Don't get excited." Gu Changan said calmly.

"Am I excited?" Tuoba Weiyang choked back, and then said:

"You, Gu Changan, should make a name for yourself instead of dying in obscurity here!"

"The Tang Dynasty deserved its collapse. Instead of being praised for its foolishness and loyalty, it will be cast aside!"

Gu Changan was silent for a long time and did not say anything to refute.

In the final analysis, the reason why Anxi Guxuan and the Western Regions could not wait for reinforcements and the people were displaced was because of the sins committed by the meat-eaters of the Tang Dynasty. Xuanzong, Li Longji, and the officials who read the saint's book must be nailed to the pillar of shame in the glorious history.

But Anxi persisted for sixty years not for a certain emperor, but for the spirit of the Central Plains nation, the pride that has existed since ancient times.

Thinking that the other party's attitude had relaxed, Tuoba Weiyang calmly added:

"Do you want to be the savior? The lone brave man is not the savior, but the unwilling struggle in a difficult situation."

Gu Changan looked at the clouds over the desert. The sky was spotlessly clean.

"I have no faith, I only believe in my conscience. This reason is enough for me to never look back."

"In my heart, no matter whether the Tang Dynasty dies or not, I will still stick to the city, just because this is the territory of the Central Plains nation!"

After a pause, he looked at the woman's increasingly angry face and said in a deep voice:

"There is no conflict between Han and barbarians. You can think this is a ridiculous insistence. You can also laugh at me for adhering to the so-called spirit even in desperate situations, but don't insult me ​​by surrendering."

"My ancestors have persisted for sixty years without begging for surrender. How can I have the nerve to say a word of surrender?"

Tuoba Weiyang tightened his whip and tried his best to control his rage. This trip was destined to be in vain.

"Princess..." a hook-nosed attendant reminded in a low voice, "Don't forget the sanctioning officer's instructions."

Tuoba Weiyang's blue eyes flashed, and suddenly he changed into a gentle tone:

"Surrender, you have a chance to marry me."

The sanctioning officer knows very well how terrifying this stubborn man’s potential is!

You must know that the revival of spiritual energy begins in the abyss of the barbarians, ends at the coast of Shenzhou, and spreads over thirty thousand miles from Yumen Pass, becoming increasingly thinner as you go outward.

The city of Qiuci is almost gone.

Under such conditions, wouldn't it be amazing that Gu Changan possesses such shocking force?

The world gradually stagnated, and the city was silent.

Silence is a disguised answer.

In order to ease the embarrassing atmosphere, Tuoba Weiyang moved her lips and forced a smile:

"Having a wife, power and wealth, isn't this what you Chinese men long for most?"

Gu Changan shook his head and said calmly:

"You are in the city, please come back."

"No need to talk anymore?" Tuoba Weiyang's face turned livid, as if he had been greatly insulted. He pointed his halberd at Kucha City and said in pain:

"Its existence for one day is a blasphemy to the Barbarian Empire. How dazzling it is when it stands in the Western Region!"

"The empire tolerated it for sixty years because it did not want to lose the son's life. In the future, it will do whatever it takes to burn down the city, destroy the tombstones, and bury this mark of the Central Plains!"

Zheng!!

There was a cold sword cry, and the bronze sword suddenly flew across the city, landing quickly with a killing intent.

"Retreat!" Several followers, like frightened birds, shot out shiny hooks from the back of the camel's crest, and flew towards the murderous sword in five directions.

Tuoba Weiyang's hole shrank suddenly, the violent collision caused the air to vibrate, and the released sword energy swept in. The man and the camel fell into the yellow sand at the same time.

"Although I am a common man in China, with my majestic body of eight feet, my belief in guarding the territory is as solid as a rock and cannot be shaken. One day, if blood splashes on the mountains and rivers, it will be enough."

"roll!"

Gu Changan's expression was indifferent.

"The empire will definitely bury you generously!" Tuoba Weiyang was in shock. If the experts around her didn't try their best to resist, she would probably die in the desert.

"Wait." An emotionless voice came from the city.

The yellow sand was rolling in and a group of people were galloping in the sunset.

In his yellowed vision, Tuoba Weiyang saw the snow-white figure still standing alone at the top of the city, standing in that absurd and ridiculous dark abyss.

I admire your courage, then I will fulfill your integrity!!
