Chapter 161: Surrender
ommerce.Both parties cooperated closely, at least before and during the Battle of Annihilation.After the war, with businesses aggressively encroaching on the market and squeezing the Four Seas Merchan..."Come on, let me send the prisoners to the military camp. What's the matter" Not long after leaving Qingyang Town, Jiang Wang at the rear of the team asked Chong Xuan Sheng.
The surrendered soldiers of the city guards of Jiaceng were very obedient and behaved well all the way.
At this time, fourteen men led the way in front, followed closely by a dense throng of soldiers, while Jiang Wang and Chong Xuan Sheng brought up the rear.

"Go see my uncle," Chong Xuan Sheng said.

"This time, the combined army is led by your uncle" Jiang Wang was taken aback.

Since the Slaughterer has emerged from seclusion, there is no possibility that he would serve under someone else. Therefore, the fact that Chong Xuan Chulian is currently in the army means that this military campaign is being led by him.
"You'll know when you get there." Chongxuan Sheng just smiled.

This fat man wasn't telling the truth, but Jiang Wang also knew that there was no way he could get anything out of him. He could only let him go for now.

He had just opened the Heaven and Earth Gate, and there were still many topics to discuss with Chongxuan Sheng about cultivation.

As the two chatted and gently sparred, time seemed to fly by.
The soldiers of Jiacheng City Guard, though not many were extraordinary, were each strong and sturdy. Having been tempered by the training of the military camp, marching was nothing to them.
Zhong Xuan was never a person who would consider their stamina. He practically drove these conscripts to the border at their limit speed.
Thanks to their connection with Chongxuan and Liang, they faced little obstruction and arrived near the military camp directly.
Of course, before that, Chongxuan had already told a military officer in the camp about the situation. That officer took over the surrendered soldiers of Jiacheng City Guards.
When they reached the main camp of the Qiu Sha army, these soldiers from Jiacheng became even more afraid to die. Although each one was exhausted, they still obediently followed the military orders.
Jiang Wang had visited the military camp of the Fenglin City Garrison many times. From any angle, the Fenglin City Garrison was not a weak force. Their performance during the White Bone Dao calamity was commendable... although most died in the natural disaster and had no chance to engage the enemy.
At first glance, Qiu Shajun's military camp didn't seem much different; it was just larger in scale and had more soldiers.
But stepping into the vast camp personally, feeling the military aura that almost crushed his inner Dao Yuan to the point of immobility, Jiang Wang only then deeply understood what it meant to be a powerful army.
A group of soldiers escorted a crowd out.
Jiang Wang looked at several of them, seeming somewhat familiar. He felt as though he had seen them somewhere before and asked: "Who are these people"
Zheng Xuan glanced at the speaker upon hearing his words.
“Oh, the Xi family,” he said lightly. “They wanted to leave Yang Guo and we apprehended them.”

"What time is it now..."
"Of course, it's to kill him." Chong Xuan looked at Jiang Wang and smiled: "Isn't the Xi family still trying to deal with you"
>
Jiang Wang felt very subtle in his heart.
Of course, he had no feelings for the Xi family. But after all, he had seen with his own eyes how Xi Zichu struggled for this family. He didn't expect that although he escaped the punishment of Yang Guo, he would fall into the hands of the Qi army.
"Didn't the Xi family evacuate long ago They shouldn't have any plague poison, right" Jiang Wang asked.
The Xi family withdrew after initially controlling the plague in Jiacheng. If there were any infected individuals, they should not have taken them with them.
"When the first case of extraordinary infection appeared, Yangguo could not possibly escape. " Chongxuansheng said: "Including some people like the Xi family, they were all arrested and detained abroad. You wouldn't think that our control over Yangguo was only limited to when the army pressed down on it, would you"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Then why were they only detained before, and now you're going to kill them"
"As we have a distinguished lineage, of course we cannot arbitrarily kill citizens of Yang Guo." Chong Xuan Sheng said.
"So, under what pretext are we doing this now"
"Through Chu!" a voice rang out ahead.
Jiang Wang looked up and saw Chong Xuan Chu Liang striding towards him.
Unlike the first time they met in Nanyang City, Chong Xuanzhu Liang, appearing in the army, exuded an intimidating aura without showing any anger. His eyes were not sharp, yet they inexplicably sent chills down people's spines and made them feel suffocated.

"I've met the general."
Jiang Wang walked through the ceremony properly, and then with some surprise asked: “Is Xi Jia Tong Chu”
Zhong Xuan Chu Liang first glanced at Zhong Xuan Sheng, making the fat man lower his head like an ostrich, then said to Jiang Wang: "Look, the head of the Xi family you killed was called Xi Zi Chu. Isn't he Chu's son There's also a former headmaster named Xi Mu Nan. Chu Guo is in Nanyu, what does he admire"
Jiang Wang: …
This is completely a groundless accusation. Although Chu State was the overlord of the southern region, geographically it should be located to the southwest of Yang State. Mu Nan already stretches credibility far too thin. Besides, judging someone based on their name is ridiculous.
To say this is meaningless. There are more than just the Xi family who advocate for a thorough eradication, and there are more than just the Xi family who have been exterminated.
Zhong Xuan and Zhu Liang said they understood Chu but did not understand it.
This is just an example sentence.
What has nothing to do with Jiang Wang, he doesn't care about it and doesn't intend to care.
It's just...

“Then what about those soldiers I brought” Jiang Wang asked Chong Xuan Sheng.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Zhong Xuan's eyes flickered a bit: "Um, this, in the end, still depends on the military..."
Jiang Wang pressed further, "You can't expect me to lure them here and then have five thousand people slaughtered, can you"
“Do you want me to let those from the Yang Kingdom go” Chong Xuan Chuliang asked.
Jiang Wang and Chong Xuan Sheng's conversation was clearly a way to test Chong Xuan Chu Liang's attitude. Chong Xuan Chu Liang wouldn't be oblivious to this. So he asked very directly.
“I dare not comment on your military strategy, sir,” Jiang Wang said earnestly. “I’m only concerned with the over four thousand surrendered soldiers from Jiaceng City Guard that I brought.”
Zhen Xuan Chu Liang calmly asked, "Reason"
Zhong Xuan Sheng walked between the two, wanting to say something, but was stared down by Zhong Xuan Chu Liang.
He could only turn away and cast his eyes repeatedly at Jiang Wang.
“They are my prisoners,” Jiang Wang said.
“When I accepted their surrender, I promised them safe passage. I am not a liar. I was not one before, and I do not intend to be one in the future.”
Zhong Xuan stared at him silently, without saying a word.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He didn't utter a word, make a single movement, and not even the slightest hint of anger could be seen on his face.
But the unspoken pressure was almost crushing.
Only now did Jiang Wang truly feel the weight of the name "The Butcher."
It's impossible to say that I'm not nervous or anxious.
But what Jiang Wang said was all from the heart.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even though Chong Xuan Zhu Liangru insisted on killing, he had no way to do it.
He considered Chong Xuan Sheng to be a friend, and because of Chong Xuan Sheng, he also treated Chong Xuan Chu Liang as an elder.
But Chong Xuan and Zhu Liang didn't respect his reputation, which he couldn't let go. It would become a knot in his heart, a thorn.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
Every individual's moral standards, value judgments, and perspectives on the world are unique and should be respected as such. There is no need for uniformity.
>
But "respect" is a very important thing.
"That is indeed true," Chong Xuansheng said. "I told you in Qingyang Town, with my name, Chong Xuansheng, they would be happy to serve me. See, they came running back to the camp all the way."
He forced a smile and said to Chongxuan Zhu Liang, "Our Chongxuan family has always been truthful."
Zheng Xuanchu ignored his "performance" and just stared intently at Jiang Wang for a long time.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Seeing that Jiang Wang remained composed throughout, a smirk suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth as he smiled, “You are right, a person should keep their word. Xiao Sheng should learn from you, his lazy attitude is quite unbecoming, I wonder who he took after.”
These people shall not be killed, but imprisoned. Let's see where they are sent for labor after the war.
"Such weak underlings, our Chongxuan family absolutely cannot accept them."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This statement sounded both like a warning and a reprimand, but it also spared Jiang Wang's face.
Having said that, Chong Xuanchu Liang didn't wait for Jiang Wang and Chong Xuansheng to say anything more before turning around and leaving.
