Even the light that came in couldn't illuminate the entire cell.

This is a prison cell in Yanzhou.

In the past, those imprisoned were mostly powerless and insignificant criminals from Yanzhou.

Needless to say, members of the royal family,

Even a chieftain of a large tribe near Yanzhou wouldn't be imprisoned here.

However, these past two days they have been detaining a genuine member of the Western Xia royal family.

He was also a prince.

To prevent the prince from escaping

The jailers were all replaced by Lu Junyi's personal guards.

Renli sat on the straw.

Through that small window, only a foot in size,

Looking at the blue sky outside.

The sky is still as high as ever.

But all he could see was a tiny patch of blue sky.

Although they were Tanguts,

But he didn't like blue skies and white clouds in the past.

Grassland cattle and sheep,

Instead, they preferred the poetry and wealth of the Han people.

When he served as a military supervisor in Weizhou,

He then accepted bribes from officials.

He was even reprimanded by his older brother, Renzhong, for this.

Now he is imprisoned.

He then realized that the blue sky could be just as beautiful.

If we can go out

Lying freely on the grass,

Look at the blue sky and white clouds,

That is also happiness.

However, he will never enjoy this kind of happiness.

After being captured alive by Lu Junyi,

He was then imprisoned here.

No one interrogated him.

It was as if she had completely forgotten about him.

However, Renli also knew that such a good thing was not going to happen.

He probably only has two possible outcomes.

The first option was to be executed, just like Li Qianshun.

The second option was to be taken to Tokyo.

Participating in the ceremony of presenting prisoners of war.

Renli studied Chinese classics for many years.

They also knew that after the Han people achieved a great victory,

They frequently held grand ceremonies to present captured prisoners, showcasing their military prowess.

The conquest of Western Xia would have been a remarkable victory even by the standards of the Song Dynasty.

A grand ceremony to present the captives would inevitably be held.

The Western Xia royal family were naturally presented as captives.

When Renli was first imprisoned,

Deep down, I was hoping for the first outcome.

But after seeing the blue sky for two days...

But the inability to suppress the prayer is the second outcome.

Although once one participates in the ceremony of presenting captives,

It is very likely that the Western Xia dynasty was completely destroyed.

But at least after participating in the ceremony of presenting prisoners of war...

It can save your life.

Traditionally, Han Chinese people would take good care of those who had lost their country.

However, the Prince of Liang of Daliang had previously ruthlessly killed Li Qianshun.

Therefore, Renli wanted to see the Emperor of Liang.

Instead of the Liang King of Daliang who was waging war against Western Xia.

After all, the King of Liang had already captured Li Ren'ai.

This is to hold a ceremony to present the captives.

Having Lee In-ae is enough.

Having one more wouldn't add any glory.

But for the military generals of Liang...

To be able to capture a Western Xia prince,

But it was a great achievement.

Therefore, Renli hoped that Lu Junyi would send someone to escort him directly to Tokyo.

Instead of waiting here.

If the King of Liang finds out...

They might very well issue him a death warrant.

Then he would truly have to say goodbye to the blue sky forever.

Renli was praying that he wouldn't run into the hands of the King of Liang.

But then they heard the prison doors rattle.

Then someone at the door said,

“If the general wants to see Renli, bring him out.”

"Yes!"

The guard in the cell responded.

Then he walked over.

Renli had no idea what was to come.

Want to stand up

But I found that my legs felt a little weak.

The two guards walked outside the wooden fence.

Seeing that Renli was still sitting,

As he opened the door, he said...

"Get up quickly, the general wants to see you,"

"Don't delay any longer."

Renli gritted his teeth.

He stood up, supporting himself on his arms.

My legs are still a little weak.

The guard opened the cell door and shouted.

"Come out quickly."

The guards did not put any wooden shackles or leg irons on Renli.

It's not because they don't value benevolence and propriety.

Instead, he served as Lu Junyi's personal guard.

They were confident in their ability to keep Renli under guard.

Moreover, there were guards watching both inside and outside.

It's hard to escape the rites of benevolence.

In addition, Lu Junyi had instructed the day before to take good care of Renli.

Therefore, they did not put any shackles on Renli.

Renli came out,

At the guard's signal,

They walked towards the prison cell gate.

Lu Junyi's two personal guards were already waiting outside the door.

Upon seeing Renli emerge, he said,

"Follow us."

Renli dared not resist.

Flanked by Lu Junyi's four personal guards,

They headed towards the Yanzhou government office.

In the Yanzhou government office,

Lu Junyi sat in the main seat.

Yan Qing and Fang Dangjun sat on either side.

Chapter 1953 Surrender!

Fang Dangjun temporarily assumed the post of inspector of the Yanzhou barbarian tribes.

To assist Lu Junyi in managing the various departments in Yanzhou.

Lang'eyan temporarily took over as the patrol inspector of the Weizhou tribe.

He has already rushed back to Weizhou.

Go and subdue the various tribes of Weizhou.

"Reporting to the General, Renli has arrived."

"Okay, you can go now."

Renli looked over at Lu Junyi.

I instinctively bowed as a gesture of greeting.

He just opened his mouth.

But they didn't know how to start the conversation.
