"If you are willing to pledge your loyalty to him, you will continue to be the principal elders of your respective manors and continue to manage the White Sun Outer Imperial Court. Three days later, he and I will come again. That will be your last chance. Think about it carefully." After the Outer King finished speaking, he stood up alone and walked out of the hall, leaving the courtyard.
Everyone has seen the current situation. Even the Outer King has said so. It can be seen that we really have no other choice. Looking at the Outer King's expression as he left, Luo Keya knew that the Outer King was also very helpless to make such a choice.
However, the current situation of the entire White Sun Palace was like this. If you are not willing to compromise, then the only way is death.
Cheng Yu had done such a big thing in the White Sun Palace, how could he let such news leak out?
Just as the Outer King had said, other than his own people, only the dead would not leak such news.
In any case, she had already made up her mind. Especially when she saw that even the Outer King had pledged his loyalty to the other party, she became even more determined.
Moreover, even if she joined Cheng Yu, she was still a Principal Elder. She didn't want to die.
No matter what you think, I have already made my choice Wei Qianrou said.
Although she was forced to enter the formation, Cheng Yu still saved her and didn't kill her.
So from this point of view, at least she didn't reject Cheng Yu that much.
If he was still willing to let her be a Principal Elder and control the previous military power, then she was still willing.
As for the dynasty, she would just take a step forward.
Just like the Outer King had said, as long as they weren't discovered by the inner court, they would be fine.
Moreover, the Outer King had also said that if the dynasty's army came, Cheng Yu would kill those people. If this matter was true, then they didn't have to worry.
If this matter was false, then they would have to see the situation first.
In any case, if they made the wrong choice now, then they would die now. There was no need to wait until the future.
I don't have any objections. Speaking of which, we had already lost back then. If we go back on our word now, it would seem like we are some vile people. Wu Li said.
So this is the reason why you betrayed the dynasty? Wei Chenfei said.
You can make other choices. I didn't force you to make the same choice as me. What's more, if I die now, no matter how loyal I am.
Instead of dying like this, I'd rather continue living! "Wu Li said.
However, Wu Li's words made Wei Chenfei's expression turn ugly, because he did not want to die. In the past, everyone had the same goal, and they could still fight against the enemy together.
But now, these people already had the intention to betray him, and it was almost impossible to rope them in to work with him.
Gao Ruyuan was probably the only one who was willing to be with him.
However, facing such a strong enemy like Cheng Yu, just Gao Ruyuan alone was far from enough.
Therefore, he had no other choice, unless he was truly unafraid of death.
"Didn't Outer Prince say so? We still have three days. Since everyone can't make a decision, let's go back and think about it! "The Great Elder said.
Although most of them already had an answer in their hearts, it was obviously not the time to make a decision.
"That's right. It doesn't matter if you don't want to make a decision or if you haven't thought it through yet. We still have three days. I hope that after three days, no matter what decision you make, everyone will think it through. Otherwise, you won't have the chance to make a new decision," Second Elder Zhuang Min said.
Everyone nodded and walked out of the main hall.
"Sister Keya, you will make the same choice as me, right?" When they were preparing to leave, Wei Qianrou asked Luo Keya.
"No matter what decision we make, let's talk about it in three days!" Luo Keya shook her head and smiled, then turned around and entered her room.
Everyone returned to their rooms with a heavy heart. Even though some people had already expressed their intentions, no one knew what kind of choice they would make in three days.
When the Outer Prince came out of Qinghe Courtyard alone, there was already someone waiting outside the courtyard.
"Have you made it clear?" Cheng Yu said.
"I've already said what I need to say. I told them that the two of us will come again in three days. At that time, they will make their final choice," The Outer Prince said.
"Do you want a drink?" Cheng Yu nodded and asked.
"No need, I want to go back and rest," The Outer Prince refused.
Having such a conversation with his old subordinate, he was not feeling good either.
However, there was no other way. He really couldn't bear to see his subordinates give up just like that.
Although doing this felt a bit treacherous, if they let so many people die because of their loyalty to the dynasty, he would be even more unwilling.
To be honest, although they belonged to the dynasty, they didn't have much sense of belonging to the dynasty because they had too little interaction with the dynasty in reality.
Moreover, they had only been to the inner court once and didn't even know the people in the inner court.
The reason why they were so loyal to the dynasty was mostly because everyone knew how terrifying the dynasty was. If they offended the dynasty, the ending would definitely be very miserable.
Although Cheng Yu's strength was also very terrifying, the terror of the dynasty was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
If it wasn't for Cheng Yu holding everyone's lifeline, everyone would definitely not want to betray the dynasty.
However, the current situation was completely controlled by Cheng Yu. They had no choice at all.
Unless they were really not afraid of death.
Moreover, Cheng Yu had also promised to let them continue to be the elders in charge. This was also a kind of temptation for them.
On one side was death, and on the other side was living and enjoying glory and splendor. It sounded like a very simple choice.
However, for these elders, the terror of the dynasty was even more deeply rooted in their hearts. They always felt that even if they chose to live now, it wouldn't be long before they couldn't escape death.
Instead of being tortured to death by the dynasty in the future, it was better to die now.
However, for people like them, how many of them were really willing to die?
Therefore, they didn't want to die, but they also didn't want to betray the dynasty. This was the most difficult choice for them.
Unfortunately, Cheng Yu didn't give them such a choice.
Either live or die, there was no other choice. That was all.
In the face of the Outer Prince's somewhat depressed mood, Cheng Yu could understand. However, he would not change his decision, nor would he change his plan.
At least in his opinion, he had at least left everyone the best path.
