Chapter 432 Begging for mercy
Chapter 432 Begging for mercy
"Get on the boat, quickly." Su Mingjin ran towards the boat impatiently, but he ran too fast and tripped, falling heavily to the ground, and his son also fell.
"Wa wa." The cry of a child echoed throughout the venue.
But Su Mingjin didn't even look at it. He kept looking back from time to time, sweating profusely in anxiety.
Su Asi looked at the child who fell in front of him, bent down and picked him up.
The guards stepped forward to help Su Mingjin up and hurried towards the ship.
Closer and closer, the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder.
"Hurry, get ready to sail." Su Mingjin stepped on the pedal and took a few quick steps. Seeing that he was about to board the ship, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that he would be able to escape soon.
But he was too happy too soon. With a "crack", the pedal broke in two and everyone on the pedal fell into the sea.
Su Mingjin watched the railing of the ship getting farther and farther away from him, and his body fell heavily into the sea. He could not swim and was terrified. He struggled desperately, and the salty and bitter sea water entered his mouth.
"Help, help."
"Don't panic, Your Majesty. I will come to rescue you right away."
By the time the panicked guards rescued Su Mingjin to shore, Ning Zhiwei had already arrived with his troops. The archery team aimed their arrows at the Jiang soldiers.
Screams were heard and countless people fell to the ground.
Su Mingjin led 10,000 soldiers, but Ning Zhiwei shouted, "Surrender your weapons and we won't kill you. Otherwise, we'll use explosives."
Upon hearing this, the frightened soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Many of them did not want to leave their homeland and drift on the vast ocean, not knowing where to go. They might even die in a foreign land, so it was better for them to surrender.
Su Mingjin still hoped that his men could hold out for a while and allow him to get on the ship safely.
Who knew that the defeat would be so disastrous.
The divine archers were aiming at him. With just one order, he would become a hedgehog covered in arrows.
Su Mingjin's face was as pale as paper, and he felt extremely unwilling. It was just one step, just this one step.
Ning Zhiwei rode on the horse, his expression as cold as snow, "Su Mingjin, you lost."
Su Mingjin was soaked all over, and felt cold all over when the wind blew, but what was even colder was his heart.
His mind raced, and he took a deep breath, "Yes, I lose. I am willing to bring all my subjects to submit to you."
He fell to his knees with a thud, performing the grand ceremony of a subject paying homage to his king.
The posture is humble and respectful.
"I, Su Mingjin, swear to heaven that I will be loyal to you for the rest of my life. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
His subordinates were all stunned, their minds went blank.
No, he is the emperor after all, so why shouldn’t he struggle?
Su Mingjin glared at them angrily, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you kneel down and worship the new king? From now on, she is our master, and I am just the old master. Don't bother with me anymore."
Su Asi considered himself a man without bottom line, but he was still greatly shocked when he saw this scene.
Su Mingjin's shamelessness was beyond his imagination. As the emperor of a country, he actually... knelt when told to do so, was flexible and could swallow the spit in his face.
Ning Zhiwei stared at the people kneeling on the ground, seemingly thinking about something.
Su Mingjin's attitude became more respectful. "Didn't you say you would confer a title on me? I think the words 'loyalty' and 'obedience' are quite suitable for me."
Su A Si: ...loyalty, obedience? What about the dignity of being an emperor?
Ning Zhiwei wouldn't be persuaded by him, right?
"Your Majesty, please spare Su Mingjin. He is just a little too ambitious. He has no real ability and can only rely on women to climb up the social ladder."
Ning Zhiwei raised her eyebrows; the implication was too obvious.
Sure enough, Su Mingjin's face changed drastically and he glared at Su Asi fiercely. Why did he ruin his plan?
Su Asi was not afraid at all.
Su Mingjin was furious, but he didn't dare to lose his temper. He knelt down and moved forward step by step, begging humbly, "Your Majesty, it was Lin Jingshu who seduced me back then. She spared no effort to slander you and made me misunderstand that you had two hearts, so I made a mistake..."
He was talking about his previous life, when he betrayed Ning Zhiwei, sent her to the enemy camp for torture, and even shot her to death with an arrow himself.
For this reason, he pushed all the responsibility onto Lin Jingshu.
He said affectionately, "You must believe that I approached you not for the 100,000 Ning Family Army, but because I love you too much. Please, give me another chance."
Even if Ning Zhiwei kept him to vent her resentment, as long as he was alive there was hope and a chance to turn the situation around.
He just didn't believe that Ning Zhiwei would always be successful without any flaws.
This humble remark made everyone look at him sideways. Was he crazy? Was he willing to do anything to survive?
Extremely shameless!
Ning Zhiwei had a puzzled look on her face. Su Mingjin was just that kind of person. He would do anything to achieve his goals and would use anyone.
"This is a different time. If you had opened the city gates and surrendered, I could have spared your life. But now, it's too late."
"Archers, get ready."
Su Mingjin tried to beg for mercy but Ning Zhiwei still showed no mercy, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
"I'm about to leave the continent and get away from the disputes, why are you still not letting me go?"
Ning Zhiwei knew him well. "Because people like you are too obsessed and always covet this continent. As long as the Yong Dynasty shows a little weakness, you will lead your people to counterattack and restart the war, causing great suffering to the people."
When it is strong, it can intimidate all sides, but once it is weak, all parties will want to make trouble.
"I will not leave this trouble behind."
Su Mingjin screamed hysterically, "I can guarantee that I will never set foot on the mainland in this lifetime."
Ning Zhiwei looked at him steadily, without any resentment, but full of murderous intent. "I don't believe it."
Su Mingjin was terribly afraid of death, "Ning Zhiwei, please let me go considering that we once had a relationship."
Ning Zhiwei looked shocked, as if to say, are you sick? "When did you and I ever have feelings for each other? It is destined that only one of us can survive."
"So, go and die. Hand over the sea charts and the shipbuilding process and structure drawings. You can choose a decent way to die."
Sea chart? Su Mingjin's heart moved, and he looked at Su Asi fiercely.
"Su Asi, did you tamper with the pedal?"
At this point, there was nothing that could not be admitted. Su Asi put the child on the ground and said, "Yes."
The child stumbled towards Su Mingjin. Su Mingjin did not look at the child, but was heartbroken, "You betrayed the king and the Jiang Kingdom. Why did you do that?"
Su Asi showed resentment on his face, "We are both descendants of the Su family. Why do you think you are so high and mighty while I have to suffer all kinds of torture and work like a slave for you?"
"You are confused. Do you think you can survive by relying on Ning Zhiwei? It's impossible. She will kill all the members of the Su family and eliminate the trouble forever."
Su Asi's expression changed slightly.
Su Mingjin suddenly said, "Your Majesty, Su Asi is also a descendant of the Su family. His obsession is no less than mine. He also has a huge spy organization at his disposal. He is a much greater threat than me."
Su Asi's face flushed with anger. He was going to drag everyone down with him. "Su Mingjin!"
Just when everything was in chaos, suddenly, something unexpected happened. Su Mingjin raised his hand and aimed at Ning Zhiwei. With three "swoosh" sounds, three sleeve arrows flew out.
"Your Majesty, be careful."
