Secret Contact with the Sun Moon Imperial Family (III)

When all was said and done, there was no other reason. The truth was that the nobles of the East District had chickened out.

They truly didn't dare gamble that Jiang Yuheng wouldn't kill them once everything was over, or even settle accounts with them afterward.

Every Sun Moon Empire person knew that this kid, Jiang Yuheng, never played by convention. If he had already said something at the beginning, he would never repeat it a second time, much less change it.

In these nobles' fantasies, they believed Jiang Yuheng would remain on the main battlefield. Only at the very last moment would he come to the East District to discuss the plan with them, thereby maximizing everyone's benefits.

No matter what, the East District was the most prosperous area aside from the main battlefield. Xu Zhongguo, who was stationed there, was also the most honored member of the imperial family.

Having rendered meritorious service in helping the emperor seize the throne, he didn't fear even a Level 10 Soul Engineer like Kong Deming.

"So, you're saying you want to surrender, right?"

When Xu Zhongguo said this, even he found it hard to believe.

They had clearly agreed not to surrender. They had clearly agreed that they would never break their word more than twice. Yet when the truly critical moment arrived, he had chickened out without hesitation.

It wasn't because they couldn't win, but because of the fear, reluctance, and indecision that were part of human emotion.

Sometimes, one really had to admire that kid's decisiveness. He knew exactly what he should and shouldn't do, as well as what he absolutely had to do.

"If that's the case, then go talk to him—if the Frost Dragon Butterfly is still willing to talk." Xu Zhongguo let out a cold laugh.
