Transmigrating into Murong Fu, may you have many children and much happiness.

Chapter 280 Persuading to Surrender

The Prince of Ruyang's Palace is located in Runan, Henan, which is not far from Wudang Mountain.

After Ruyang Wang and Wang Baobao decided to go to Wudang, the two of them, along with a few personal guards, set off with Fan Yao.

In just a few days, we arrived at Wudang Mountain.

The father and son stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the towering peaks, and felt the insignificance of humankind in the face of nature.

Especially since a rare heavy snowfall was falling on Wudang Mountain at this time, the entire mountain was covered in silver, resembling a majestic white elephant. This made him feel much more relaxed.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of liberation, as if he had been trapped in a cage for a long time and had returned to nature. He, the Prince of Ruyang, looked glamorous and seemed to be second only to the emperor, but only he knew the bitterness in his heart.

Chahantemur is indeed a man of great talent in governing the country and commanding troops. Although he holds military power, the court is now controlled by treacherous ministers. In addition, the current emperor is incompetent and tyrannical, causing chaos in the country and unrest among the people.

Over the years, the Yuan Dynasty relied entirely on Prince Ruyang's campaigns to the east and west, defeating countless rebel armies. However, one rebellion was followed by another, and there was no peace in the year. Prince Ruyang was busy deploying troops, but his daughter Minmin Temur was his precious jewel, and now that she had been captured, he could say that he had sent out all his elite forces.

But according to what Master Ku said and what the letter said, he realized that the elite troops he had trained over the years had been killed by the Ming Cult leader Murong Fu, and even the Xuanming Elders, whose martial arts skills were unparalleled, were not spared.

Moreover, his daughter told him that this was a matter of life and death for the family, and her words were very earnest, something he had never seen before.

After waiting at home for two days, the martial arts master who had escaped from Wudang Mountain told him about the terrible events on Ruyang King Mountain, and that Murong Fu indeed had extraordinary abilities.

No one knows a daughter better than her father. Although his daughter didn't say anything, he could tell at a glance.

She's going to commit adultery!

He understood his daughter's temperament, and in addition, Murong Fu was exceptionally strong.

That's why I decided to go up the mountain with my son to see what was going on.

These past few years I've been busy with government affairs. Although I've been exercising regularly, I haven't climbed mountains many times, and my feelings about it have been quite different.

As the winding, sloping stone path disappeared into the white expanse, the Prince of Ruyang once again marveled in admiration:

What a nice place!

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, we saw two monkeys, one large and one small, climbing swiftly among the trees.

The Lord of Ruyang and Wang Baobao were also intrigued at the time.

Wang Baobao said, "Father, look, there are monkeys here too."

The Prince of Ruyang stroked his thick beard and nodded, saying, "This is much more agile than the monkeys we saw last time."

Fan Yao stood aside and said with a smile, "This white ape was raised by Young Master Murong. Don't be fooled by its giant appearance; it is skilled in martial arts."

That day, quite a few of the prince's and palace's top fighters were killed.

After Fan Yao finished speaking, the Prince of Ruyang coldly said, "Right Envoy Fan... you should still be Master Ku."

He then led the way up the mountain, while Wang Baobao smiled at Fan Yao and followed his father.

Fan Yao thought for a moment, wondering what she had said wrong. Perhaps it was because he had been a prince for so long that he couldn't bear to hear the truth anymore.

After reaching the halfway point, we arrived at the first mountain of Wudang Mountain, where two Taoist priests greeted us.

Upon discovering that it was Fan Yao and several Mongols, they were allowed to go up. A few days ago, Murong Fu had already informed them that the Prince of Ruyang was coming. He said that once they saw Fan Yao, the Right Envoy, they would be sent up the mountain to Murong Fu's courtyard.

Guided by the young Taoist priest, the father and son arrived at a small house in the backyard.

Several children were playing around in the yard; some were lost in thought, some were practicing with wooden swords, and some were sleeping on tree branches...

Before the Prince of Ruyang and his entourage could speak, a handsome young man emerged from the bamboo house.

"I have long admired the name of Prince Ruyang."

He was dressed in a white robe, eight feet tall, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and his whole body seemed to glow in the sunlight.

The man beckoned to Xiao Hai, who was standing to the side in a daze, and said, "Xiao Hai, call Aunt Zhao Min over here."

After the child named Xiao Hai ran out of the courtyard, Prince Ruyang suddenly saw the young man start brewing tea at a stone table.

He frowned, exchanged a glance with his son, and realized that the table was clearly empty just now.

At the young man's prompting, the Prince of Ruyang sat down in front of the stone bench, where two cups of freshly brewed, steaming green tea were already placed on the table in front of him.

"I am Murong Fu from Gusu, the 34th leader of the Ming Cult."

Minmin must have mentioned it to you, Uncle, in her letter.

The Prince of Ruyang nodded and said, "Yes, that's true. You killed a thousand elite soldiers trained by our royal family?!"

Murong Fu smiled and said, "A few Tartars and traitors are nothing."

Son: Traitor:

Upon hearing this title, the Prince of Ruyang frowned deeply, every wrinkle on his face revealing boundless rage.

As a high-ranking Mongol official and the Prince of Ruyang, he was naturally a Mongol supremacist. Although he had quelled numerous rebellions and knew that the Han people possessed countless talented individuals, he also knew that they privately used terms like "Tartars" and "Mongol dogs" to belittle them.

But this was the first time he had heard it in person.

Suddenly, he felt a chill. The object sitting opposite him did not seem to be a person, but a huge iceberg, a terrifying iceberg that had stood for thousands of years.

His anger wasn't deep; he was easily frightened and fled in panic. The Prince of Ruyang put aside his thoughts, and just then, Zhao Min arrived.

She was dressed in a red cotton-padded coat, so dazzling in the white world.

Prince Ruyang and Wang Baobao exchanged a glance, both astonished that their daughter/sister was now dressed in women's clothing.

Since Zhao Min grew up, she has mostly preferred to wear men's clothing.

Prince Ruyang glanced at Murong Fu again and realized that this man was extraordinary in many ways, definitely not just in martial arts.

After paying her respects to her father and brother, Zhao Min also sat down at the stone table and drank hot tea.

When Murong Fu was refilling the tea for the Prince of Ruyang, he said:

"Your Highness, how many more years do you think the Yuan Dynasty will last?"

Prince Ruyang did not expect Murong Fu's first topic to be so grand, and it also directly addressed his heartache.

With treacherous officials in power and popular uprisings breaking out everywhere, he, as the main force in suppressing the rebellion, was naturally aware of the chaos and turmoil in the court.

But when Murong Fu asked him this, his tone hardened, and he said, "Ten years?"

Murong Fu said with a smile, "The Prince of Ruyang is truly optimistic."

Wang Baobao frowned and asked, "Young Master Murong... how many more years do you think our Great Yuan Dynasty can last?"

Murong Fu held up one finger and said, "One year. He won't last a year."

He then leaned forward, staring intently at the father and son, and said:

"I wonder if Prince Ruyang wishes to become a key minister of the Yuan Dynasty and perish with it, or a virtuous minister of my Ming Dynasty and join me in overthrowing this empire?"
