I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 561 The troops are approaching the city
Xu Jie was unable to enter the city and was even expelled by the soldiers defending the city.

He was shocked.

What does it mean to be unable to defend oneself?

What does it mean that if the ruler doubts his minister, the minister must die?
He has been in officialdom for a long time and is well versed in the unspoken rules between the monarch and his subjects.

"His Majesty!"

"This is a treacherous plot!"

"Your Majesty, I have fallen into Fan Li's trap!!!"

Xu Jie did not dare to stay outside the city.

He could only shout loudly so that Wanli could hear his voice.

As for when Wanli would figure things out and believe in himself, that was not something Xu Jie could control.

"I am hiding outside the city for the time being."

"Once your majesty wakes up, I will immediately enter the city to serve you."

Thinking so, Xu Jie turned and flew towards the lush forested Miaofeng Mountain outside the city.

Miaofeng Mountain.

The main peak is four hundred feet high. There are many strange pines, rocks and exotic flowers on the mountain. The mountain is steep and long.

Xu Jie quickly arrived at Miaofeng Mountain, and after a little thought, he descended to the top of the main peak.

"I hid on the top of a mountain, looking down from a high place, and watched the war in the capital from afar."

"If anything changes, I will also be a surprise force!"

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard thunder rolling overhead.

strange!
The sun is scorching, where does the thunder come from?

"Heavenly Prison!"

Suddenly a voice came from nowhere.

Xu Jie thought something was not good and was about to take action, but he saw hundreds of thunders falling with terrifying power. It was obvious that a powerful person in the Mahayana realm was taking action!

"Humph!"

“Unless it’s the late emperor, or the Pangu giant of destiny, even if he’s at the Mahayana stage, he can’t possibly dream of defeating me with one move!”

Xu Jie had been subjected to repeated plots and was really furious.

He gathered his spiritual energy to protect himself, ready to withstand the sneak attack. At the same time, he drew his sword, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack!
However, hundreds of thunders fell, but none of them hit Xu Jie.

Hundreds of thunders transformed into a square cage, which actually "imprisoned" Xu Jie and the top of Miaofeng Mountain!
"what happened?"

"This old man... this old man can't go out?"

"Who is so despicable! Let me out now!"

Xu Jie roared in shock and anger.

In the sky, the voice of the master of the "Sky Prison" was heard again.

"You no longer need to worry about worldly matters."

"I spared your life to preserve the vitality of the human race."

"The mortal world is a paradise, the mortal world is a military training ground, and the mortal world is the last safe haven for my kind."

“But with benefits come responsibilities.”

"When the time comes for me to use you, I won't allow you to refuse."

"Xu Jie, today you just have to watch from the sidelines."

At this time, Xu Jie was sweating profusely.

He knew that the person speaking in the sky was Fan Li.

Just relying on the means of [Heavenly Prison], Fan Li already has the ability to kill him easily.

Spare my life?
On the sidelines?

Xu Jie was not without the courage to sacrifice his life for the country.

But the word "responsibility" mentioned by Fan Li triggered Xu Jie's endless imagination.

He was an important official of the Ming Dynasty. Even though Xu Jie could not get the full picture of the secrets that ordinary subjects did not know, he at least knew a thing or two.

Xu Jie thought a lot about this.

Angels come to the lower world to recruit soldiers?

Emperor Jiajing resisted ascension?
Even the dead Tang King Li Yu?
"Perhaps...Emperor Jin is right..."

Xu Jie murmured to himself, and finally resigned himself to his fate, finding a rock to sit on, looking far away in the direction of the capital, without any more unnecessary movements.

Ming Dynasty, Beijing.

The Jin army was at the gate of the city.

A dragon flag indicated that Fan Li had arrived in person.

The emperor of one dynasty came to the capital of another dynasty.

What does it mean?
This is a war to annihilate a nation!

On the city wall, the Ming army was in chaos!
They really find it hard to accept this fact!

A few months ago, the Ming Dynasty was still the most powerful country in the world, and Emperor Jiajing was also the most powerful person in the world!
But now, the Ming Dynasty is about to perish?

How could they, who are so proud, accept such a huge change?
"Is the Ming Dynasty going to fall?"

"The Jin Emperor is already at the gates of the city, where is our Majesty?"

"How many Jin troops are there outside the city? One hundred thousand? One million?"

"Except for the capital, has the entire Ming Dynasty fallen?" "Will the Jin army massacre the city?!"

There was commotion in the capital.

The soldiers defending the city looked at the chaotic streets and the screaming and howling of the people, but they could do nothing.

The Jin army outside the city put them under tremendous pressure, and they were so overwhelmed that they had no energy to maintain law and order in the city.

"People of the Ming Dynasty, listen up!"

"I have something to say."

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the city.

The voice echoed in the sky, moderate, peaceful, and extremely noble.

The first reaction of the people in the city was that they thought it was Emperor Jiajing who was speaking.

Most common people would never see the emperor in their entire lives, even those in the capital were like this.

So, they can only imagine.

How majestic, how noble, how unattainable, and yet how admirable is our own emperor?

The voice in the sky exactly matched the image of Emperor Jiajing in their minds.

Then, the people in the city knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor".

wrong!

The people kowtowed a few times before they suddenly came to their senses.

Isn’t Emperor Jiajing dead?

Dead people cannot speak!

What's more, Your Majesty had sent messages to the world several times during his lifetime, and the voice just now was clearly not like Your Majesty's.

But at first glance, the two seem to be equally powerful and hard to tell apart.

"The sound came from outside the city?"

"Could it be... Could it be that the Emperor of Dajin is speaking?"

The people kneeling on the ground felt extremely embarrassed for a moment.

As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, you actually kowtow to the emperor of another country?
If you really want to make a fuss about it, this is a crime of treason and genocide!
The people hurriedly stood up and looked around carefully.

I hope my neighbors won’t expose me, and I hope I won’t be targeted by the Imperial Guards!

"The people."

"I am Fan Li, the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty."

Sure enough it was him!

The people in the city were angry, hateful and scared when they heard this!
He almost caused us to commit the crime of genocide. What on earth did he want to say?
"After today, the Ming Dynasty will come to an end."

“But the people need not panic.”

"The army under my command has never harmed the people."

"When the siege begins, all you have to do is sit back and wait."

"If they abandon the city and flee to another place, I will not stop them and will not send troops to pursue them."

When the people in the city heard this, they were surprised at first and then happy.

Did the Emperor of Jin really not want to see the people being affected by the war?
Is it okay to guard the house?

Is it possible to leave the city?

"Quick! Lock up the house and don't go out on the streets as the Jin Emperor ordered."

"I...I want to leave the city! I'm not from the capital!"

The people were divided into two groups.

Some of them stayed at home, while others wanted to leave the city.

They swarmed to the city gate, only to find that it was guarded by government troops and would not allow them to leave the city at all.

"Bastard!"

"You are all Ming people, how can you obey the orders of the Jin Emperor?"

"If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill you without mercy!"

The generals defending the city roared angrily.

Unfortunately, the effect is very poor.

The city defense formation only protects against the outside but not the inside. If people in the city want to escape, they only need to go through the city gate or climb over the city wall.

In just a short while, more than a hundred people climbed over the wall and escaped, including some soldiers in the city who had taken off their armor.

"Quick...quickly report to His Majesty!"

The general at the city gate couldn't control the situation and could only kick his deputy general and ask him to go to the palace to report the news.

"Fan Li!!!"

Suddenly there was a loud roar!
Countless white rivers and mountains of fortune flowed towards the imperial city like flowing water.

In an instant, Wanli's body turned into a huge hill, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, and he leaped to the outer city wall in one step.

As soon as he landed on the ground, he crushed dozens of civilians to death before they could escape!
"Fan Li!"

The voice of Emperor Wanli was like a huge bell, resounding through heaven and earth.

"With your mere mortal body, even if you have thousands of troops, you are nothing but chickens and dogs in front of [Pangu's giant body]!"

"You came here to seek death, it's too late to regret!"
