Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Feng Xifan was unwilling to give up and searched Zheng Keshuang's pockets carefully again, but still found nothing.

Helplessly, he took off the crown, handed it to Wei Xiaobao, and explained: "This crown cost 50,000 taels of silver to be specially customized, and the gems inlaid on it are extremely precious."

Feng Xifan didn't even wait for Wei Xiaobao's response, and impatiently reached out his hand to the unconscious Princess Tang.

The rings on her hands, the necklace on her neck, the bracelets on her wrists, the anklets on her ankles, and all the ornaments on her head were ruthlessly stripped off by Feng Xifan.

Finally, he tore a piece of silk from Princess Tang's skirt, wrapped the jewelry in it, and handed it to Wei Xiaobao, saying, "Is this enough?"

"Well... barely!" Wei Xiaobao replied.

"So, can we leave now?" Feng Xifan asked anxiously.

"It's not possible now. You must make Zheng's army lay down their arms and choose to surrender. Only in this way can you leave safely." Wei Xiaobao said seriously.

"Yeah, forget about it. What's the point of resisting now! Surrender!" Feng Xifan sighed, his face full of helplessness and bitterness.

He looked around and his eyes fell on several military generals among the officials. Then he nodded and ordered them to notify the Nine Gates Admiral Yang Yi, the commander of the Imperial Guards Zheng Ping, the commander of the Shenji Camp Liu Zihua and other troops in the city to surrender, and open the city gates to welcome the arrival of the Tiandi Army.

Wei Xiaobao stood on the high platform, overlooking the ministers below, with a slight smile on his face and a confident look in his eyes. He asked loudly, "What about you? Surrender?"

The officials in the audience looked at each other and thought to themselves. They knew that the situation was over, Deng's Dongzhou had become a thing of the past, and now Dongzhou was about to usher in a new era of the Tiandi Federation.

After a moment's silence, they all knelt down and shouted in unison: "We are willing to surrender!" The sound echoed throughout the palace and the Temple of Heaven.

Half an hour later, Xiao You and Zhu Youli led their armies and arrived at the Temple of Heaven at the same time.

Their arrival symbolized the recovery of Shuntian Prefecture in Tainan, and also meant the formal surrender of all resistance forces on Dongzhou Island. Since then, Dongzhou Island has opened a new page and ushered in a new beginning of history!

At 10 o'clock in the morning, all officials in the Temple of Heaven were driven to the palace hall.

However, the throne was empty, with no one sitting on it. The officials were whispering to each other below, their hearts filled with worries about the future.

They didn't know what their fate would be, nor did they know how the Heaven and Earth Federation would treat them, the former officials. For a moment, the hall was filled with a tense and uneasy atmosphere.

At this time, Wei Xiaobao was sitting in the study of the palace and summoned a person alone - Yao Qisheng.

"Traitor, where is this place? Where have you imprisoned me?" Yao Qisheng knew clearly that since he was imprisoned, he first took a carriage and then a boat, and had already gone far away from Fujian.

"Don't call me a traitor all the time. It sounds uncomfortable. Besides, you are a juren and you have some culture. Can't you just talk calmly?" Wei Xiaobao responded.

"Because of you, I have lost my official position for the fourth time. I am now just an ordinary citizen and have nothing to say to a traitor like you." Yao Qisheng said in a firm tone.

"That's right. You were abandoned by Emperor Shunzhi and now you're abandoned by Emperor Kangxi. You've experienced ups and downs. Even people who write history books will admire a great man like you." Wei Xiaobao joked.

"Hmph! What does this have to do with you!" Yao Qisheng looked at him with disdain.

"As an educated person, have you ever reflected on the reasons for your ups and downs?" Wei Xiaobao asked seriously.

Yao Qisheng replied proudly: "That's because they don't know the value of things. I, Yao Qisheng, can stabilize the country and bring peace to the world when I'm on horseback, and I can rule the world with my pen when I'm off horseback. I'm a great talent!"

"Pah, pah, pah!" Wei Xiaobao stretched out his hands and clapped them together, then said with a smile: "What a great man! You have ridden a horse and killed those generals. Tell us about them."

Yao Qisheng replied proudly: "I have killed countless generals under Geng Jingzhong and Zheng Jing!"

Wei Xiaobao then teased, "Yes, you have a wife who is highly skilled in martial arts and can capture the heads of enemies in a hostile army. Your military merits will surely increase rapidly."

When Yao Qisheng heard this, his face suddenly changed. He stared at Wei Xiaobao and shouted angrily, "What did you do to my wife?"

Wei Xiaobao smiled and replied casually: "Nothing serious, I just changed her appearance!"

Yao Qisheng was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Wei Xiaobao and cursed, "You - you traitor, if you have anything to say, come to me. What's the point of bullying a woman?"

"Haha, okay, I won't tease you anymore!" Wei Xiaobao smiled jokingly, then turned around and shouted at the screen behind the study: "Aunt He, come out!"

He Hongyao stretched out a jade hand, gently covering her beautiful face, and then walked out slowly from behind the screen with light steps.

She has a graceful figure and curvy body, as beautiful as a blooming flower.

When Yao Qisheng saw a graceful woman walking out with her face covered, he suddenly felt angry.

He thought to himself, "Humph, this traitor actually wants to use the beauty trap to confuse me, how ridiculous! Does he think he can shut me up with just a woman? It's just a foolish dream!"

However, what surprised Yao Qisheng was that Wei Xiaobao did not say anything to him, but the woman spoke first. She bowed to Yao Qisheng humbly and said softly, "Master Yao, I am honored!"

Hearing this voice, Yao Qisheng felt somewhat familiar, but also somewhat strange, and for a moment he couldn't remember who it was. He couldn't help but frown and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

The woman raised her head and stared at Yao Qisheng with her charming eyes, revealing a hint of resentment and helplessness. She replied softly, "Master, I am your wife He Hongyao!"

At this moment, He Hongyao had slowly put her hand down, and a pure, elegant and beautiful face appeared in front of Yao Qisheng.

This face is as delicate and beautiful as peach blossoms in full bloom in spring, and as round and sweet as a ripe apple in autumn, making people want to get close to it.

Yao Qisheng and He Hongyao lived together for decades. Although they had never been husband and wife, their feelings for each other were extremely deep.

For so many years, He Hongyao has been covering her face with a veil, and no one knows what she really looks like.
