After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

On May 8, Jiang Xue Ning led an army of 500,000 and arrived outside Xuanhua City.

The governor of Xuanhua led more than 30,000 soldiers to defend the city for three days. He did not wait for the reinforcements from Shengjing. When Jiang Xue Ning ordered the attack on the city, he ordered, "Open the city gates and welcome the King of Xiang into the city!"

He burst into tears, and suddenly his back bent. He put his official hat and uniform on the tower, and staggered away in his inner clothes.

Jiang Xue Ning stopped people from chasing after him. She completely understood his feelings as a minister of Xiling, whose country was destroyed and dynasty was over.

She chose to open the gate because she didn't want to cause more casualties. She personally planted the Hunan-Chu flag on the city gate. Xuanhua City was the closest city to Shengjing and the last line of defense for Shengjing.

She stood on the city gate of Xuanhua and could easily see the entire Shengjing from afar.

"How do you feel?" Shen Zhaoyan asked, "After many years, you have returned with an irresistible momentum."

"It's unexpectedly calm." The wind ruffled her clothes and hair. "Maybe it's because I'm too tired from walking all the way."

She could still remember the scene of being shot outside the city even when she closed her eyes.

The prosperous Shengjing was where she grew up and spent her beautiful teenage years. It was where the blood and tears of the Gu family were buried and swallowed up her life.

It is a place that makes her hate and love it. It has been a long time since she was reborn in the mass grave. She has finally returned in glory and is going to take back everything that belongs to her.

Rather than excitement, there is more fatigue that surges from the bones.

Shen Zhaoyan pointed at Shengjing and said, "There will soon be a new master of the royal city there."

Three days later, Zuo Musheng and Chen Zhun also arrived with their troops. The two armies joined forces, totaling 700,000 to 800,000 troops.

There was no room for everyone in Xuanhua City, so they had to set up camp in the direction of the capital.

There were less than 200,000 troops in the entire capital city, so it was only a matter of time before the city was destroyed and the country was ruined.

Shengjing was in an uproar. Even the most decadent young dandies no longer frequented restaurants. The whole Shengjing was in a state of panic.

At this critical moment of the dynasty's survival, Xiao Linfeng still did not show up.

Several powerful old ministers of the Grand Tutor knelt outside the Golden Palace under the scorching sun from dawn to dusk, but Xiao Linfeng still did not see them.

Seeing the gray-haired old ministers in shaky condition, Eunuch Zhou had no choice but to go to Fengyi Palace to invite Xiao Linglong.

Xiao Linglong, wearing the bright yellow formal dress of the queen, walked over with the help of the maid, "Everyone, please stand up. His Majesty Shengjing has been handed over to me."

The Grand Tutor said in a hoarse voice, "He is no longer in the palace, right?"

"You have done enough. Just stop here." She did not answer the question, but said calmly, "Today is the result of past causes. This is the blood debt that the Xiling royal family owes to the Gu family."

The old ministers' forced breath suddenly dissipated. The emperor had already made his choice, and their persistence seemed meaningless.

The ministers helped each other to stand up. The Grand Tutor looked at her calmness and couldn't help asking, "The enemy is already at the gates, what are you going to do?"

"I have made up my mind. You guys can go back." After she said that, she turned and left.

The Grand Tutor looked at the huge palace and smiled bitterly, "I wanted to hold on to it until the very end, even if it meant losing my head and bleeding."

He graduated from high school at the age of 18, served in the court for decades, and experienced three generations of emperors. It can be said that he worked hard until his death. He was determined to live and die with Xiling, but now he suddenly feels that it is not worth it.

"It's rotten to the core. It may be a good thing for the people if the corrupt dynasty is replaced."

It's just cruel for them, the old ministers, who have served this dynasty all their lives, and this dynasty carries their political ideals and youth.

They witnessed Xiling's heyday, but could do nothing to watch it decline and fall.

The change of dynasties was inevitable, but they were still sad. Several people walked out of the palace hunched over, their spirit and energy suddenly gone, and they looked much older.

Lin Ran had been lurking in the capital for a long time as an insider, so naturally he had been passing on information non-stop.

The latest piece of news she spread was about Xiao Linfeng.

Gu Xingchen looked at the news in his hand and frowned deeply. "The emperor has been absent from court for many days, and all officials are kneeling outside the Golden Throne Hall. According to reliable information, he absconded with a young girl a few days ago."

Gu Shengsheng's identity is a taboo and a secret in the palace, and few people know about it.

"They suspected that he had escaped with Gu Shengsheng..."

Jiang Xue Ning tapped the table lightly with her fingers. "Compared to Xiao Linfeng, I am more worried about Sheng Sheng. He took Sheng Sheng away at this time, obviously he has other intentions."

"Even if she knew she had a blood feud with him and she continued to stay with him, you don't have to worry about her." Gu Xingchen said angrily, "She is not three or five years old, she knows the truth. Since she made her own choice, she should be responsible for her choice."

She smiled bitterly, "I always think of my eldest brother. He spent his whole life serving the country and the people, but died unjustly in the end. To the best of my ability, I still want to preserve this bloodline for him."

"I'm afraid she has been spoiled by Xiao Linfeng and won't appreciate it."

It would be better if she was just possessed by a ghost for a while, otherwise he would not understand her train of thought. That was a blood feud with him, and the Xiao family was almost wiped out by him. How could she feel at ease staying by his side after knowing the truth?

Jiang Xue Ning sighed and said, "We should meet soon, and then we will know what she is thinking."

She always felt that with Xiao Linfeng's personality, he would not really become a fugitive and go into exile.

The news that she had already reached the city naturally reached Xiao Linfeng.

He brought Gu Shengsheng into the deep mountains, where there were several wooden houses, which were obviously well prepared.

He handed the letter to Gu Shengsheng who was outside in the sun, "She's here, at the gates of the city."

Gu Shengsheng took it, glanced at it and asked calmly, "She's here, so what do you want?"

Although he didn't say anything, she keenly sensed that there was an entanglement between them.

"Many years ago, I personally watched Helian Xuan shoot her to death outside the city gate. I thought I would cry, but I didn't." He said lightly, "Many people asked me if I loved her. To this day, I still don't know..."

There are too many things between them that can never be explained by love or hate.

I can only say that I was young at that time, my happiness was real, my smile was real, and my heartbeat was real.

She smiled weakly, "So are you planning to use me to kill her, or will you end up dying at her hands?"

"I want to see her suffer..." he said paranoidly, "I want to see her suffer once."

She has always been the moon high above, and even if she falls into the abyss, she can get up again.

He wanted to break her and see her suffer for once.

"You just don't want to accept it. In the end, you are the only one in the abyss."
