Seeing Chu Ze coming at this time, they hurriedly stepped forward and asked what happened.

Before Chu Ze could answer, Zhao Si ran in and reported: "Sir, the old Imperial Master is here."

Chu Ze, who was about to explain, swallowed his words instantly.

"Please."

Master Qi and the others were even more confused: "Why did the old Imperial Master come? Master Chu, do you need us to avoid him?"

"No, don't you want to know what's going on outside? Sit down and listen." Chu Ze pointed around and asked them to sit down.

As soon as they sat down, the old Imperial Master arrived.

His kind face was now filled with anger.

The old Imperial Master strode up to Chu Ze and asked, "Master Chu, what do you want to do in Ming Dynasty?"

"Old Imperial Master is very intelligent. Hasn't Old Imperial Master already figured out what our Daming wants to do?" Chu Ze smiled politely and unfamiliarly, with a cold and arrogance that Old Imperial Master had never seen before on his unattractive face.

The old Imperial Master was startled.

The way he looked at Chu Ze gradually changed.

From anger, to disbelief, and then to that aloof Ryukyu national master.

He looked at Chu Ze expressionlessly and asked, "What on earth do you want to do before you are willing to withdraw your troops?"

"Ryukyu surrendered to the Ming Dynasty."

"What if I say no?" The old master looked directly into Chu Ze's eyes.

Chu Ze's tone was deep: "In addition to surrender, there is also conquest."

"Although we don't want to go to that point." Seeing the old Imperial Master's expression that suddenly became cold and stern, Chu Ze added, "We have already told Li Xing that Ryukyu can be allowed to have autonomy. This is not an ordinary situation. Ming Dynasty will not interfere with Ryukyu. internal affairs."

"If that's the case, then why don't you just withdraw your troops?" The old Imperial Master still looked at Chu Ze in a not-so-good way.

Chu Ze spread his hands: "As long as you agree, we will withdraw our troops immediately."

"That's impossible!"

"Does the old master just want the people to go through the flames of war?"

"There is no one in Ryukyu who is afraid of death."

"Useless death is called stupidity."

The old Imperial Master looked at Chu Ze in shock: "You called me stupid?!"

"Isn't it? You are not afraid of death. Have you ever thought about how those people want to die? They have wives and children, and their families are happy, but you insist on destroying their families for your own selfishness? You are not only Stupid and selfish!”

Chu Ze took a step forward and forced the old Imperial Preceptor to step back subconsciously: "Old Imperial Preceptor, even if you have been an Imperial Preceptor, you should know that those who govern for the king should put the people first. The people are gone, so we still need to What are you doing? Let me tell you, Ryukyu will be decided by Ming Dynasty. As long as you are willing to surrender, I guarantee that the people of Ryukyu can still live and work in peace and contentment, and the development of Ryukyu will surely advance by leaps and bounds."

The old master trembled his lips and looked at Chu Ze with complicated eyes.

Chu Ze let him watch and reminded: "Old Imperial Master, the general trend is general."

The light in the old Imperial Master's eyes suddenly disappeared when he said the general trend.

This old man with gray hair and beard seemed to have lost his vitality in an instant. He looked more than ten years older.

He lowered his head dejectedly and stood there, as if in silence.

Chu Ze didn't interrupt, just stood and waited.

Time passed little by little, and every minute and every second seemed to be lengthening.

After a long time, the old master sighed sadly.

"Ugh."

After sighing, he turned around without saying a word and walked away unsteadily.

The figure that used to look like a fairy from another world became stooped and gradually walked into the light and shadow until it disappeared.

It wasn't until the figure of the old Imperial Master completely disappeared that Master Qi and others came back to their senses.

He walked to Chu Ze and said doubtfully: "Is this..."

"Yes, Ryukyu is already the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The main purpose of our mission this time is to capture Ryukyu." Before Master Qi could finish asking, Chu Ze took the initiative to explain his mission.

He turned sideways, looked at Mr. Qi, and said, "Li Shichang is finished, now it's up to Li Xing."

If Li Xing knows practical things, then the follow-up will be much easier.

If he insists on being obsessed with his face, then Chu Ze won't force it.It's just a war.

It was not until evening that Chu Ze returned to the palace.

The time agreed between him and Li Xing has come, and he is here to wait for the result.

Chu Ze stood in front of the palace door and tilted his head to signal Zhao Si to come forward.

Zhao Si stepped forward and shouted: "Your Highness Li Xing, the day has come. How have you considered it?"

There was silence in the palace.

Zhao Si thought that no one in the room heard him, so he asked again.

The palace was still quiet.

Chu Ze's expression became more and more serious.

Zhao Si also felt something was wrong. He asked Chu Ze: "Master, how about we attack directly?"

"No, wait any longer.

If the door of this palace does not open, it will not be too late for him to let people rush in.

If...if it was really like what he thought, then it would be useless if he rushed in now.

Fortunately, the palace door is still open.

Li Xing, covered in blood, walked out of it.

Behind him were the guards who followed him through life and death.

When he saw the person coming out, Chu Ze's tense face relaxed instantly.

Great.

Chu Ze couldn't help but put a smile on his face, strode towards Li Xing, and then stopped a few steps away from Li Xing.

He looked at Li Xing and said happily: "You are finally out."

"It makes no difference whether I can get out or not." Li Xing smiled bitterly and threw the broken sword on the ground.

"Yes, if you don't come out, I will lose a good brother." Chu Ze said firmly.

To Li Xing's ears, it sounded extremely ironic.

"A good brother is meant to be used and calculated?"

Chu Ze didn't answer this.

Before the calculation, he didn't even know what Li Xing looked like.

But after getting along these days, Chu Ze still hopes to be on good terms with Li Xing.

"Does what you said before count?" Li Xing raised his head.

"Of course, what we say will certainly count."

"Well, I, Li Xing, will surrender with my subordinates." Li Xing took the lead and knelt down.

As soon as he knelt down, the people behind him knelt down with him.

The light in Chu Ze's eyes became brighter.

"His Royal Highness Li Xing, the former Crown Prince of Ryukyu, listens to the decree." After Chu Ze smiled, his expression became solemn. He took out the imperial edict that Zhu Yuanzhang had prepared before he came out and read, "By God's destiny, the emperor decreed that the former Crown Prince of Ryukyu, Li Xing, Xing, in compliance with destiny, led Ryukyu to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and is a hero for all generations. The terrain of Ryukyu is like a curved bow, and the floating sea is like a platform, so it was changed to Taiwan, and Li Xing was given the title of governor of Taiwan. I hereby express my gratitude. Prefect Li, please accept the order. .”

Li Xing gritted his teeth and reached out to take the bright yellow imperial edict.

"Why wasn't the autonomy you mentioned mentioned above?" Li Xing looked up at Chu Ze.

Chu Ze took out another imperial edict and raised it: "This, it's up here."

"Prefect Li, take the order again."

What is written in this imperial edict is Taiwan's autonomy.

The main content is as Chu Ze said before, Taiwan was handed over to Li Xing for self-government, and Ming Dynasty only sent one official to assist.

At the same time, there are also some weapons provided.

After Chu Ze finished reciting the imperial edict, he said to Li Xing: "Master Li, are you satisfied now?" (End of this chapter)
