We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Sitting on the city lordʼs high seat, Xiao Mo rubbed the corners of his eyes and said to everyone, ”The Zhei Kingdom side agreed to my surrender request. The imperial edict just arrived.”

The many generals looked at each other.

They naturally all knew that Xiao Mo wasnʼt truly surrendering.

Zhao Guang stepped forward and asked, ”General, should we open the city gates and invite Guo Xin and the others into the city for a trap to catch turtles in a jar and eliminate them?”

”Hehehe, Guo Xin is not a fool.” Xiao Mo shook his head. ”Even if we directly invite them into the city, will he really enter? Moreover, heʼll definitely require us to close the city protection formation. When the city protection formation closes and the city gates open, many things become uncertain.”

”Then should we first pretend to join the Zhei Kingdom army, then wait for an opportunity to stab them hard in the back?” A general named Jiang Dayong said.

”No good...” Li Jing had already spoken before Xiao Mo could answer. ”Although Guo Xin reached his current position through connections, heʼs still an old general and not a fool. If we merge into the Zhei Kingdom army, the first thing theyʼll do is scatter us.”

”Exactly.” Xiao Mo nodded. ”Moreover, do you really think the Zhei Kingdom is sincerely urging me to surrender?”

As Xiao Moʼs words landed, everyoneʼs gaze simultaneously fell on Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo casually tossed the Zhei Kingdom imperial edict on the table, ”Opening an office with the same rank as the Three Excellencies, granting three provinces as domain, and even marrying the fourth princess to me. Is the Zhei Kingdom ruler really this generous?”

”Then what does the General mean?” Zhao Guang asked.

Xiao Mo shook his head, ”From when we sent the surrender letter until today, how many days have passed?”

Yang Chongyang replied, ”Itʼs already been four days. Since we began defending Yanmen Pass, a full twenty days have passed.”

”Twenty days, cough cough cough...” Xiao Mo coughed a few times, looking outside the great hall as if talking to himself. ”Ten days remain, not much, not little...”

”General.”

…

Thirty li away, in the Zhei Kingdom army camp, Meng Cang returned to the main military tent to report.

At this time, all the Zhei Kingdom army generals were also waiting.

”How was it?” Guo Xin asked, his tone carrying some urgency.

”Xiao Mo agreed to surrender, and his attitude was extremely polite, nothing like his previous arrogance.” Meng Hao reported truthfully. ”Moreover, Xiao Mo said that the day after tomorrow he will close the city protection formation and open the city gates wide.”

”Excellent!” Guo Xin excitedly pounded the table with force.

Yu You frowned and bowed to Guo Xin, ”General, although Xiao Mo has already surrendered, this subordinate still worries about his schemes. The day after tomorrow we probably shouldnʼt enter the city. We must first have Xiao Mo lead the cityʼs garrison troops out!”

”This naturally doesnʼt need General Yu to say.”

Guo Xin said with a smile.

”Does Xiao Mo think surrendering comes without a price? After Xiao Mo surrenders, weʼll have him serve as the vanguard in charges, wearing down the soldiers under him until theyʼre nearly depleted. Then heʼll just be a toothless tiger with bound hands and feet. Whatʼs there to worry about?

Finally when he returns to the Zhei Kingdom court, so what if he ʼopens an office with the same rank as the Three Excellenciesʼ?

The three provinces heʼs granted are all located in our Zhei Kingdomʼs barren lands, places of exile. Let Xiao Mo deal with those fierce beasts and barbarians!

As for the fourth princess.

Hahaha, that fourth princess from the deep palace, her weight matches her height! Let Xiao Mo enjoy that blessing as well!”

Just when Guo Xin felt the situation was decided, soon two daysʼ time passed.

On the morning of the third day.

Guo Xin mobilized the army, assembling outside the military camp, waiting for Xiao Mo to open the city gates wide but Yanmen Pass showed no movement whatsoever.

The soldiers on the city walls still stood guard like statues, staring intently at the Zhei Kingdom army.
