The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

Outside Pingyang City, in the camp, the soldiers of the Zijin Nation were on high alert. Not only were they a little tired and anxious, they were also beginning to be unable to withstand the hot weather, and more and more soldiers were falling ill.

The atmosphere in Zhao Lishi's tent was heavy. He stood in front of the map with a gloomy look on his face.

He walked to the bedside again and looked at the unconscious Prince Mu Han. Mu Han was still lying there quietly, with no sign of waking up.

Zhao Lishi's eyes were cold and he was extremely anxious.

Should we attack the city? Should we continue to wait for Mu Han to wake up? Or should we evacuate directly?

Obviously, continuing to wait is not a good option.

If he evacuated directly, would Mu Han punish him again after waking up?

after all.

That day in jail.

Prince Mu Han grabbed his hair tightly: If this plan fails, you will be living a life worse than death!

And I answered myself: Prince, no, I will never dare to let you down again.

Zhao Lishi touched the mark of the branding iron on his stomach, gritted his teeth, and thought to himself:

"Can't wait any longer!"

He turned around suddenly and said loudly to his generals:

"Everyone, Prince Mu Han has not woken up yet. We can't just sit there and wait for death. This general has decided to take Pingyang City before the prince wakes up!"

The generals of Zijin Nation immediately responded in unison: "We are willing to obey the general's orders!"

Zhao Lishi strode out of the tent and looked towards the direction of Pingyang City, his eyes full of determination to win.

Zhao Lishi took a few trusted men with him, disguised himself, and sneaked into Pingyang City.

……

Inside the Pingyang City Prison.

Zhang Xiaodi was chained to a corner of the cell and lay there, his body covered in blood from being beaten by the guards of the Ministry of Justice.

Zhao Liu heard about what happened between Zhao Xiaodi and Qian Wanguan, and fearing that he would not live long, he sneaked into the cell.

"City Lord Zhang..."

Zhang Xiaodi raised his eyes: "Zhao Liu?"

Zhao Liu said secretly: "City Lord Zhang, I heard that there are rumors in Kyoto that the princess was assassinated on the road to Pingyang City. The princess is young, but she has many enemies.

Let's go all out and make this a reality. Maybe the nobles in Kyoto will thank us."

Zhang Xiaodi sighed: "It was fine if you said that a few days ago, but now..."

While they were talking, Zhao Lishi from Zijin Country slowly walked over outside the cell.

Zhao Lishi stopped in front of the cell and stared at Zhang Xiaodi coldly: "Why is it not working now?"

"Poor you, City Lord Zhang. Are you still considering asking you to surrender the city?" Zhao Lishi's voice echoed in this small space.

Zhang Xiaodi raised his head, his eyes full of anxiety: "Don't think about it, I am willing to surrender and not light the beacon tower, as long as your country still allows me to be the lord of Pingyang City and spare me from the suffering of prison."

Zhao Liu also quickly agreed: "Yes, we are willing to serve you and lead your troops into Pingyang City."

The corners of Zhao Lishi's mouth rose slightly. If he could capture Pingyang City while Prince Mu Han was unconscious, he would definitely be able to make a great contribution.

He showed a hint of contemptuous smile: "Very good, as long as you are obedient, you will naturally get the benefits."

Zhao Lishi waved his hand and the guards opened the cell and released the two of them.

Zhang Xiaodi and Zhao Liu nodded and bowed hurriedly, like two dogs wagging their tails to beg for mercy.

Zhang Xiaodi said with murderous intent in his eyes: "Also, you must find that Princess An Ning and kill her."

Zhao Lishi had a complicated expression. How could he dare to kill Lin Wanwan? How would he explain it to Prince Mu Han when he woke up?

Zhao Lishi said sternly: "No, I want to live."

……

That night! In the thick darkness, the army of Zijin Nation, led by Zhang Xiaodi, marched towards Pingyang City like a surging black tide.

On the yellow land under the moonlight, the flags of the Zijin Kingdom fluttered and the sound of horse hooves was like rolling thunder, which was terrifying.

Zhang Xiaodi and Zhao Liu rode on tall horses, walking proudly at the front of the team: "General Zhao, go through the side door, there are very few guards there."

Zhao Lishi nodded and waved his hand: "Go through the side door."

Zhao Liu said to Zhang Xiaodi: "Hehe, when we take over Pingyang City, we can still be the superior people."

Zhang Xiaodi nodded fiercely and said through gritted teeth, "That's right! Hahahaha! Pingyang City is still mine."

Jiang Jie, the defender of Pingyang City, was originally stationed at the main gate when he heard a soldier report: "Not good! General Jiang! The enemy has attacked the side gate!"

Jiang Jie was shocked when he heard this, and led his soldiers to the side gate of the city wall.

Zhang Xiaodi, who was outside the side gate of the city wall, glanced at Jiang Jie on the city wall and said, "Jiang Jie! Open the city gate quickly!"

On the city wall, Jiang Jie saw Zhang Xiaodi and yelled, "Zhang Xiaodi, you shameless traitor! You betrayed the country and sold the city for your own selfish interests, putting the people of the city in danger!

Where is your conscience? I, Jiang Jie, will never let you succeed even if I risk my life!"

Zhao Xiaodi sneered, "You can't defend it, Jiang Jie. You and I both know that the soldiers in Pingyang City are more fragile than porcelain bottles. Is there any need to fight?"

As long as we break through the side gate, the Purple Gold Nation army will be able to escape once they enter the city."

Sure enough, the guards of Pingyang City panicked when they saw the surging enemy from afar. Their eyes widened with fear, and they could hardly hold their weapons steady.

"This...what should we do?" said a young guard in a trembling voice.

"Quick! Light it up..." the general defending the city shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Puff..." Before he could finish his words, countless cold arrows were shot out from the army of Zijin Country, and the soldiers on the city wall were killed by the enemy.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" The Purple Gold Country's army rammed the city gate hard and suddenly broke it open.

See the side door is broken!

The soldiers of Pingyang City had no way to resist. Just as Zhang Xiaodi said, the soldiers of Pingyang City threw away their weapons and armor and fled for their lives.

"Ahhhh! Zhao Xiaodi has committed treason!"

"Oh no! People from the Purple Gold Country have broken in!"

"Run! Run!"

Some people hid in their houses, while others fled from their houses. Looking at the dark mass of enemy troops outside the city, their hearts were filled with fear and despair.

The Zijin Nation's army entered the city, randomly hacking and killing sick civilians and those who did not have time to escape along the way.

"Oh my God!" An old man's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face.

Then he was hacked to death by the Zijin people.

"Mom! I'm scared!" A child hugged his mother's legs tightly and burst into tears.

The next second, they were shot to death by several cold arrows.

The people all looked pale, holding their family members' hands tightly, not knowing what to do.

But at this time, Zhao Lishi was looking at everything in front of him complacently, as if Pingyang City was within his grasp.

Zhang Xiaodi laughed even louder: "Haha, wait and see, I'm still the one who calls the shots in Pingyang City!"

Zhao Lishi rode forward and shouted loudly near the Pingyang Inn: "Listen, people of Pingyang City, surrender quickly and hand over Princess An Ning, and I will spare your lives!"

There was originally a lot of noise and cries outside the inn, but suddenly there was dead silence, and no one responded.

Inside the inn.

Qin Jun, Su Ye, Zitan, and Qingqing all rushed to the princess' room, and several guards from the Ministry of Justice surrounded Lin Wanwan and protected her.

"Princess, it's bad, the troops from Zijin Country are coming!" Mao Dai was panicked and ran in hurriedly to report.

Lin Wanwan's face changed, but she quickly calmed down: "Have the reinforcements from Pingjin City arrived?"

Qin Jun shook his head, his expression solemn: "The guards reported that Pingjin City is unwilling to send troops to support."

"What?" Lin Wanwan frowned, "What about Ye Lan?"

Qin Jun said: "Brother Ye Lan has not come back yet."

Lin Wanwan's heart sank, and then her expression became serious: "Find a way to delay time and wait for Ye Lan to come back."

"Miss Qingqing, this dagger is for you." Qin Jun handed Qingqing a sword he carried with him.

"Oh...oh..." Qingqing held the dagger tightly in her hand, her heart filled with fear.

on the street.

Jiang Jie was caught and tied up in front of the people, shouting angrily: "Zhang Xiaodi, you traitor, you will not die well!"

"Jiang Jie! You are still stubborn even when you are about to die!" Zhang Xiaodi quickly moved to Zhao Lishi's side and said, "General, what are you waiting for? Kill him now!"

Zhao Lishi felt that Jiang Jie was vulnerable, and then shouted towards the inn: "Princess An Ning, if you don't come out, I will not be polite."

At this time, Zhang Xiaodi smiled and said, "Isn't this simple?"

Zhang Xiaodi also shouted towards the inn:

“Princess An Ning! If you don’t come out, I will count and kill an innocent citizen! Hahahaha…”

Lin Wanwan looked determined when she heard this. She walked downstairs fearlessly and left the inn. She walked to Jiang Jie calmly and looked up at Zhao Lishi:

"What's your name? Did Mu Han ask you to attack the city?"

Hearing the sound of Lin Wanwan coming down the stairs, Hua Yu immediately flew out of the window of the guest room, stood high on the roof, and looked at everything below.

Zhang Xiaodi smiled and said, "Look, it's out!"

Zhao Lishi said: "Zhao Lishi. The prince is not awake yet, we must catch you and hand you over to the prince for punishment.

If you come with me tonight, I can let these people go and not massacre the city."

Lin Wanwan looked at him and said calmly, "Are you serious?"

At this moment, Su Ye was the first to rush out, blocking Lin Wanwan, and shouted anxiously: "Princess, don't listen to him, go back to the inn quickly."

Qin Jun followed closely behind him and said anxiously, "Princess, don't follow him! The people of Zijin are insidious and cunning, don't trust them easily!"

Qingqing and Zitan also looked nervous and quickly protected Lin Wanwan.

Qingqing trembled and said, "Princess, let's go back. It's too dangerous outside."

Zitan's face was gloomy and he touched Qingqing's shoulders with both hands, as if to give her some sense of security.

Lin Wanwan looked at the people in front of her, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. Soon, she looked at Zhao Lishi again, her eyes still firm: "This princess agrees to go with you."

Zhao Lishi nodded and smiled: "Princess An Ning, you are such a good princess."

Then he looked at the two soldiers behind him and said, "You two, bring the princess here."

Two guards stepped forward and tried to grab Lin Wanwan.

Suddenly, two cold lights flashed like meteors.

Two five-star darts came at lightning speed and hit the throats of the two soldiers squarely.

The two soldiers fell to the ground.

Zhao Lishi's face was instantly filled with anger. He looked around vigilantly, his eyes full of alertness, "Who is it?!"

Just as everyone was surprised, a black shadow fell from the sky like a ghost.

The man who came was Hua Yu, who was dressed in black and wearing a veiled hat. He was agile and did not stop at all when he landed on the ground. He rushed towards Lin Wanwan in one step.

He just stretched out his arm, put his arm around Lin Wanwan's waist, and lifted her up gently. Lin Wanwan was lifted off the ground like a light bird, flew up, and jumped onto the roof in an instant.

Lin Wanwan felt dizzy and when she came to her senses, she was already standing steadily on the roof.

Hua Yu quickly let go of her hand, took two steps away, and deliberately kept a distance from Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan looked at him and saw that he was standing tall like a proud pine tree. She asked, "Who are you?"

Hua Yu did not say anything. He moved his ears slightly, then raised his eyes and saw dust flying in the distance. An elite troop was rushing towards this side.

Hua Yu slightly turned sideways and pointed his hand into the distance.

Lin Wanwan looked in the direction he pointed and into the distance, she saw a major general wearing armor, holding a spear, looking majestic, and hurriedly arriving with a group of elite troops behind him.

"Why don't you get out of Xuanyue Kingdom's territory?!" At this critical moment, an angry roar was heard.

When Lin Wanwan heard this voice, why did it sound like Lu Mu's voice? !
