At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

Feeling the unique warmth from his mother on his cheek, Helian Qing swallowed all his grievances.

He grabbed Chi Yao's hand and shook his head gently.

"Filial piety is the most important virtue. If giving me a beating can make my mother feel better, I will do it with pleasure."

Chi Yao extended her finger lovingly and tapped his forehead, "You are already a father, and you are still talking nonsense."

"You are my only child, how can I bear to beat you up?"

Listening to the sweet conversation between the mother and son in the hall, there was a wooden barrel placed by the door outside the hall.

There was a monster in the barrel, and it made an unpleasant laugh, which made the palace servants and guards passing by feel terrified.

This monster was none other than the former queen of Wusun and also the princess of Yile.

Because earlier, the King of Elijah had sent people to participate in the siege and had other plans!

Chi Yao was furious and directly issued an order to deprive her of her position as queen. She also cut off her hands and feet, dug out her eyes, and cut off her tongue...

Despite such torture, she still lives on tenaciously like the Welwitschia in the desert.

Suddenly, a pot of boiling hot tea was poured over her head, and her laughter stopped abruptly and turned into painful cries.

Helian Qing frowned upon hearing this and shouted outside, "Shut her mouth and don't disturb our mother."

Soon, there was no sound outside the hall, and the mother and son inside the hall continued to discuss matters as if nothing had happened.

"The Xiongnu barbarians have been surrounded by Ilie for quite some time, so I think they have little food and grass left."

“As for Xie Yuheng…” Chi Yao said as the hollowed-out bat-shaped longevity pattern armor unconsciously embedded itself into her palm.

She sneered and continued, "My son, you don't have to worry too much. A group of cavalrymen deep in the enemy's belly cannot be caught up by the baggage train even if they have wings."

"In this case, how long can the two of them last?"

"Just hold on to the palace. When their food and supplies run out, we'll make plans!"

Helian Qing scratched his head, feeling itchy, as if he was about to grow a brain.

"But the people in the city have not evacuated. Does the Queen Mother have other plans for them?"

Chi Yao lazily lifted her eyelids and glanced at him, "The Xiongnu barbarians want to surrender to the Liang Kingdom now."

"And the army of the new ruler of Liang has always had a rule not to massacre the city."

"My son, you don't have to worry about the lives of a bunch of common people. Even if they are all killed, it will just arouse the anger of the people in other towns."

As the two of them were talking, someone came to report that Liang Xiong had already taken the East City Gate and was heading towards the palace.

Helian Qing stood up, showing a rare aura of a king.

He said, "Then I will go find my teacher to take charge of the overall situation and deploy the imperial guards."

"Go."

Chi Yao watched Helian Qing leave, then looked away after a long time and drove all the palace people out.

She walked into the bedroom, turned the darkroom switch, and went in.

On the desk in the middle of the dark room, there was a bright yellow dragon robe.

But the size is a bit small, like a woman's.

Chi Yao's eyes were obsessed. She stretched out her hand and stroked the fine lines on it.

After a moment, she sighed, walked to the wall, pressed a brick, and a secret passage appeared on the wall.

She is old and not as strong as she used to be.

Xie Yuheng, that little bastard, never played by the rules. She had no idea whether the palace could be defended...

Moreover, without food and fodder, the soldiers could even eat the flesh of the civilians in the city.

In the past, when Chu Tianchen was in power in Daliang, there were cases of famine in the years when people sold their children and even exchanged their own sons for food.

……

outside the palace.

The Hun soldiers who captured the East Gate had red eyes and were ready to move.
