Huangfuling's eyebrows skipped a beat, what did Xiao Jinzhi mean...

"I have no ambition to annex the world. What I want from beginning to end is just to stop the war." Xiao Jinzhi continued.

Xiao Jinzhi's look was so frank that one couldn't help but wonder, is this really the look that would appear on an emperor's face? Or maybe the person in front of me is just too good at acting?

Huangfuling did not hide his expression this time, and the suspicion on his face was clearly revealed.

"You are in a high position, do you really have no ambition?"

Xiao Jinzhi shook his head calmly, and then laughed again, "Maybe it's because I already have what I want most."

Huangfuling frowned, what he wanted most? Is that Queen Chu Huanyan?

Although he has known Xiao Jinzhi's feelings for Chu Huanyanyan for a long time, how much love in this world is eternal, and Xiao Jinzhi is so confident that it will remain unchanged?

Huangfuling's lips moved, but in the end he did not ask the question.

Because the gate of another city is near.

The shouts of killing shook the sky, and the smoke and dust billowed.

In the past, Huangfuling had never been afraid of the battlefield, but at this moment, looking at the army that was obviously in Danyue, he felt cold in his heart for the first time.

In Guiyang Mountain last time, and in Taizhou City this time, Xiao Jinzhi, no, or Xiao Jinzhi and Chu Huanyan, seemed to have the ability to minimize all conflicts.

A fire on Guiyang Mountain completely failed his plan. Feng Liyun died before he could completely break up with Feng Sixi and Tianyi. The crisis of trust between the two countries was completely burned by a fire.

At this moment, a Taizhou city with no food and grass became an urn into which he was placed. His plan failed, his chance of winning disappeared, and even the soldiers he brought with him were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Tianyi's reinforcements. .

He... also became Xiao Jinzhi's prisoner.

Looking at the Danyue soldiers who fell one after another, Huangfuling felt as if his heart was being pressed by a huge boulder, so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He was silent for a while. Finally, he spoke hoarsely.

"Xiao Jinzhi, I have admitted defeat, let them stop."

Xiao Jinzhi had been waiting for Huangfuling's words for a long time. Although Tianyi had the upper hand now, if the fight continued, both sides would lose troops. Since the people were already in his hands, there was no need to continue the war.

"Then please, Prince Regent, please come forward with me. After all, without your order, Danyue will not stop."

Huangfuling's eyes were deep and red. Finally, he and Xiao Jinzhi stepped forward and gave the order.

When they saw Huangfu Ling being captured by Tianyi, the faces of Danyue's soldiers changed. No matter how unwilling they were, it was clear that the outcome was decided at this moment.

Danyue was forced to withdraw his troops and agreed to peace talks.

As the soldiers besieging the city retreated and grain and grass were sent into the city, it was at this moment that Xiao Jinzhi and the others truly captured Taizhou City.

As for the content of the peace talks on the second day, it was also very simple.

The troops were withdrawn from Northern Mexico within ten days, and the three countries signed a peace treaty. In the next ten years, they would commit no crimes against each other in exchange for the life of Huangfuling Mausoleum.

"I have released Ling Qi. I hope he can convince enough people to save your life after he returns." Xiao Jinzhi walked into the room where Huangfuling was imprisoned.

Huangfuling was sitting at the table and was not tied up. Because of Shen Chi's medicine, he had lost all his martial arts skills and the surrounding area was tightly guarded, so there was no fear that he would find a chance to escape.

"Although Ling Qi has always been with me, he is just a guard after all. His words may not have much effect." Huangfuling laughed and held the teacup in his hand with his fingertips, "What's more, There should be many people in the court who hate me to the core and hope that I die in this Taizhou city."

"Your Highness the Regent, why should you belittle yourself? Your life is very important to them." Xiao Jinzhi also sat down at the table, "Maybe before, many courtiers wanted you to die, but now, I think they should hope you can live well even more."

If Huangfuling Mausoleum really died in his own hands, it would only mean that the war between Tianyi and Danyue would never stop.

As soon as Huangfuling died, the morale of the Danyue army was turbulent, and everyone was terrified. Even if someone was willing to lead troops to face the enemy, in this case, the chance of victory was really slim.

Those people may not understand Huangfu Ling's control of government affairs, but in the face of the country's destruction, I'm afraid they will burn incense and worship Buddha every day, praying that Huangfu Ling can survive.

Huangfuling looked at Xiao Jinzhi quietly, and after a long time, he asked the question again.

"To dominate the world and command the world, does it really have no appeal to you at all?"

Now that he has been captured by Xiao Jinzhi, if Tianyi Army continues to attack, it will inevitably be overwhelming. And once Danyue is captured, Beimo will be even less worth mentioning to Tianyi. This may be Xiao Jinzhi's best chance to dominate the world.

"I am too lazy to answer the same question a second time."

Xiao Jinzhi lifted the teapot on the table and slowly poured a cup of tea, but did not drink it. He just waited calmly for the heat in the cup to dissipate little by little, and then stood up.

"Tomorrow I will come to see the regent. I hope that the regent can stay in this room as well as he did today and not cause any trouble again. Otherwise... even if I don't have the intention to rule the world, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you. life."

Xiao Jinzhi walked out of the room, and Qin Li, who had been waiting outside, walked up and followed Xiao Jinzhi out of the room.

"Your Majesty, the news here has been sent back to Tianyi and Beimo as quickly as possible. I think the Queen and Beimo will soon receive the news that Huangfuling was arrested."

As long as this news spreads, the Danyue army in North Mexico will inevitably fall into panic. Even if Danyue is unwilling to agree to the terms of exchange, the crisis in North Mexico can be temporarily alleviated.

"Okay, I've sent people to keep an eye on Huangfu's mausoleum these days. Although his martial arts have been completely lost, we can't take it lightly, and we have to prevent others from coming to rescue him." Xiao Jinzhi ordered.

Qin Li nodded, "Your Majesty, don't worry, my subordinates understand."

After saying that, Qin Li glanced at his emperor. He had heard the conversation in the room just now. After hesitating for a moment, Qin Li still asked.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are brave. Do you really want to release Huangfu's Mausoleum?"

This time is indeed an excellent opportunity. Not only him, but also the soldiers in the city feel that if they can work together, Danyue may really be completely captured.

Xiao Jinzhi stopped and said, "Qin Li, have you forgotten our purpose when we left the imperial city?"

Qin Li raised his hands and said, "My subordinates have not forgotten that the emperor is trying to understand the danger in Bei Mo and prevent the spread of war in the world."

But now...it is indeed a great opportunity!

"Just remember." Xiao Jinzhi looked away, not knowing what he was looking at, "Qin Li, remember, never forget the purpose of setting out."

Those who want to stop the war must not become the cause of its spread.
