After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?

Chapter 245 Chengguo surrenders! It's time to leave!
Outside the Golden Palace.

Looking at the picture that predicts the future.

The faces of the officials from the noble families suddenly turned pale.

As for the Pinglu Jiedushi, he had already felt relieved after seeing his future self submitting to Chen Huaixin again. Now, when he saw this scene again, he couldn't help laughing.

"Lead the way for the alien army."

"at last."

"And they will be slaughtered."

"Should we call this retribution? Or should we call it what we deserve?"

The Pinglu Jiedushi said with a mocking tone.

Compared to other ministers.

He is from aristocratic family.

I'm not that awed or afraid.

You don't have to look at their face when you laugh at or mock them.

"and."

"My future self."

"But it's with Chen Huaixin!"

"He is ruthless towards the aristocratic families."

"How can I make my position clear if I don't make a few sarcastic remarks?"

The Pinglu Jiedushi thought so in his heart.

Compared to the other ministers, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

The people of Chengguo seemed to be unscrupulous!
They looked at the deduced scene with smiles on their faces, and the sarcastic remarks on their lips never stopped for a moment!

"It turns out that the bigwigs in the court are actually very stupid!"

"We invited the foreign army into our territory, and then were robbed by them!"

"Humph! They deserve it! This is the price they pay for allowing foreign tribes to invade the Central Plains for their own benefit!"

"But I really didn't expect that the Empress of Chengguo would actually give up joining forces with the foreign army to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Army at this time, and instead choose to expel the barbarians!"

"After all, your majesty has repeatedly launched wars in order to drive out the barbarians and foreign races, so how could you possibly allow these barbarians to wreak havoc in my Central Plains!"

"..."

The people laughed and talked at the same time.

For Ji Qingluo.

They also changed slightly.

At least when it comes to right and wrong.

She chose to give up the kingdom and drive the barbarians and foreigners out of the Central Plains!

But even so, the people still prefer Chen Huaixin!
Even the most ordinary people could see that the war in the simulation was about to end!

"in this way."

"Chen Huaixin."

"He will then establish a new country!"

The people are full of expectations.

That deduced future.

Still going on.

……

[August, the sixteenth year of Yuanhuang.]

[The barbarian and foreign armies were driven out of the Central Plains.]

[Though there are still some lingering near the border.]

[It seems that he is waiting for the war in the Central Plains to start again. 】

【"but."】

"They no longer have a chance."

[“As long as no one leads the way personally and as long as no one colludes with others.”]

[“They will never be able to enter my Central Plains again!”]

[Chen Huaixin looked at the last batch of barbarians who were captured to do hard labor and thought to himself.]

[When the Central Plains was in turmoil, even when they received help from the aristocratic families, they still did not gain much. And after the land was pacified, how could they possibly invade the Central Plains again! ]

【"and."】

[“Wait until everything returns to normal.”]

[“Those barbarians and foreigners outside the border.”]

[“Either get out of here or stay on that land forever!”]

[“This expulsion… is just the beginning!”]

[Chen Huaixin and Ji Qingluo have the same opinion about those foreign barbarians! ]

[They would never give foreign races any chance to burn, kill, and plunder the people of the Central Plains! ]

【but. 】

[Now.] [The matter of the barbarians has come to an end for the time being.]

[The flames of war in Central Plains...are about to ignite again?! ]

【Thinking of this. 】

[Ji Changxi's expression was very complicated. ]

[The same is true for the imperial court officials and soldiers.]

[After fighting together with the Yellow Turban Army, they no longer wish to fight to the death with such an opponent on the battlefield, because the outcome is already determined! ]

[“The Yellow Turban Army… is invincible!”]

[The thoughts of the lower-class soldiers reached the ears of the generals in the imperial court.]

[The general of the imperial court also informed Ji Qingluo of the soldiers' discussion.]

【Suddenly.】

[The meeting place fell silent.]

【Everyone looked at Ji Qingluo. 】

【Everyone is waiting for her decision! 】

[“If we choose to surrender… No! Negotiating peace will put many soldiers at ease.”]

[“If we continue the battle, even if there is no mutiny in the army, morale will definitely drop, and even... more people will desert the battlefield!”]

[How can ordinary soldiers fight to the death against an unbeatable opponent! ]

[Even though they are members of the imperial court's elite army, they are still human beings! ]

[Ji Qingluo also knew this. She knocked on the table, her face remained calm, but she knew in her heart that the situation of Chengguo was over. Whether it was peace or war, Chengguo... could no longer exist! ]

【After a long time.】

【She then sighed. 】

[“Let those soldiers… decide for themselves.”]

【Decide for yourself! 】

【Hearing this.】

[Although the generals had expected this, they still looked a little shocked.]

【"because."】

【“This means.”】

[“The era of Chengguo…is over!”]

……

[September, the sixteenth year of Yuanhuang.]

[Most of Chengguo's elite troops chose to surrender.]

【Suddenly.】

【The government and the public were shocked.】

【The whole world was in uproar.】

[Even if someone has already predicted it. ]

【The Yellow Turban Army is about to conquer the Central Plains.】

【but. 】

【They thought.】

[This should have happened after the imperial army fought a great battle with the Yellow Turban Army.]

[Instead of just...surrendering! ]

【"No!"】

【“If you must say it.”】

[“If it weren’t for the appearance of the barbarian army.”]

[“The imperial army had already been defeated.”]

[“This surrender now… is reasonable!”]

【Someone explained it this way.】

【But more people still find it difficult to accept. 】

[Especially those military governors who are wise and self-protective, especially those ambitious people who want to take up arms as a banner, they hope that Ji Qingluo and Chen Huaixin can fight for three to five years, and it would be best if they can destroy the country. ]

[Only in this way can they have a chance to aspire for the highest power! ]

[“Even if we can’t fight for three to five years, fighting for three to five months is also good!”]

【“Why are you just…surrendering like this?!”】

They couldn’t accept it.

【They are still trying to stir up unrest.】

【As for Ji Qingluo. 】

[She no longer cared about what these people were thinking, because she knew very well that these were just some stubborn problems. After Chen Huaixin took over the country, he would definitely handle these things, and she didn't need to worry about them anymore! ]

【"I……"】

[“It’s time to leave!”]
