Reborn as a legitimate daughter, huh? Why is she different from her previous life?

Beifeng and Donglin countries have not yet attacked the capital, but Chu Yu actually poisoned those ordinary people. The poison will not kill people, but it can turn people into obedient puppets...

It was also at this time that Lin Fengji finally understood why the emperor suddenly became like a lost soul, and why he gave up the throne to Feng Yuxuan, an outsider, despite the opposition of all court officials!

I think he must have been poisoned by this vicious drug! But what's the point of knowing the truth now?

When Xiaocheng, which was adjacent to Liaocheng, was breached, the defenders of Liaocheng were so scared that they abandoned the city and fled.

Since the people in many towns in Liaocheng, including the gentry, had received favors from Lin Fengji, many scholars were impressed by Lin Fengji's literary talent and knowledge.

There was no way. He had been the Prime Minister of Southern Chu for his entire life. His vision and knowledge were beyond the reach of ordinary people. He also had a reputation as a good man, and there were quite a few people who believed in him.

Later, the soldiers who stayed behind in Liaocheng came to find him and wanted him to take charge of the situation. Lin Fengji could not refuse, so he brought a few courageous young people from the Ji family to Liaocheng.

Lin Fengji knew that he couldn't count on Chu Yu, that vicious woman. He had seen that woman since she was young. She was very good at disguising herself. At a young age, her eyes were filled with desire and ambition, but she could not let anyone see through it...

If she hadn't repeatedly flirted with Ze'er, Ze'er would have had a bright future. How could he have been bewitched by this witch and given up everything? !

However, when he arrived in Liaocheng, he found that the situation was much better than he expected. He didn't know whether it was because the people sent by Chu Yu did nothing, or because the escaped Liaocheng defender still had a trace of humanity. The poison that could turn people into obedient puppets was not used on the people of Liaocheng.

The people in Liaocheng are indeed normal people except for the confusion and anxiety about the future in their eyes.

The dead Qu Liu: “…” Damn Liaocheng defender, that bastard, how dare he disobey my orders!

Liaocheng garrison commander: "..." I'm afraid of retribution! I have a little conscience but not much. Southern Chu is about to be destroyed. If I don't run away and poison the people, what am I waiting for?

A bunch of idiots!

……

Time passed quietly in front of the eyes of the people in Liaocheng like the elusive wind. More than ten days passed in a flash, and the armies of the two countries, which made everyone terrified, finally arrived outside the city gate of Liaocheng.

On the city gate, there were soldiers, civilians, and young people from the Ji family. They stood closely on the city wall, forming a human wall. All of them felt worried, not knowing what their lives would be like after today.

I saw a young general in silver armor riding his horse back below, staring at the people on the city wall with a smile in his eyes, but no one on the city wall dared to look at him.

The young general in silver robe was none other than Yu Jiyan. All the soldiers who had fought against the Beifeng army knew that the old general Liu Zhenyuan who was guarding the Beifeng border had a young general in silver robe under his command. He had unique tactics and had never been defeated!

If Ji Fenglin was here, he would definitely recognize Yu Jiyan. When he first heard about this person's existence, he asked the spies in Beifeng to check him out. Later, he found out that his name was Yu Jiyan, and he was the grandson of the great general of Beifeng, and the second son of the Taifu Mansion of Beifeng.

The people on the city wall naturally could not recognize Yu Jiyan. After all, except for some minor frictions occasionally at the border, the relations between the countries had always been relatively stable. Although they had heard of the name of the young general Yu Jiyan in silver robe, they had never seen his true appearance.

However, even if they could not recognize Yu Jiyan, the other party's aura made them frightened. The soldiers guarding the city stared at Yu Jiyan's figure. Suddenly, there was a noise in the city, which scared everyone back to their senses immediately.

A disciple of the Ji family hurriedly turned around to check the noisy area. When he arrived at the noisy area, he asked in surprise, "Grandfather?"

Yes, the person who came was none other than Ji Fenglin.

Now everyone in Liaocheng knows Ji Fenglin's true identity. He is the prime minister of their Southern Chu Kingdom. However, everyone is extremely disappointed with the Southern Chu royal family. No one wants to go to the capital of Southern Chu to report Ji Fenglin.

After all, they had also heard about the plight of the people in other cities, and knew that all this was done by the Nanchu royal family!

Those high and mighty people in power do not regard the lives of ordinary people as human lives at all. It would be better for them to believe in the Prime Minister who is willing to come out of retirement again for them than to believe in the royal family of Nanchu!

Ji Fenglin was surrounded by the crowd. The civilians and soldiers all had expressions of shock and heartache, and were talking about something at once, so much so that Ji Ziyang's words were drowned out.

"Mr. Prime Minister, you...your hair..."

"Mr. Prime Minister, how did you become like this? Where is the military doctor? Where is the military doctor?"

"Mr. Prime Minister..."

At this time, Ji Fenglin had white hair and a haggard face. He looked much older, but he still tried to give everyone a reassuring smile. He gently pressed his hands, and everyone immediately quieted down, but the worry in their eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Ji Fenglin's hair turned white overnight. When he heard the hooves of the two armies outside the city, he knew that it was too late to save Nanchu...

Ji Ziyang quickly squeezed into the crowd and supported Ji Fenglin, calling out worriedly, "Grandfather..."

Ji Fenglin raised his hand and touched his head lovingly. This was the eldest son of his second son and his eldest grandson. He was only seventeen years old and had not yet married or had children. He had just reached the age of marriage.

But this child was willing to accompany this old man to Liaocheng without knowing whether he would live or die...

"Yang'er, grandpa is fine, don't worry."

Ji Ziyang stammered for a long time but could not utter a word. He had thought about this when he followed his grandfather to Liaocheng. The worst that could happen was death, but at the same time he also hoped that God would have mercy on them. If they defended Liaocheng, these people might still have a chance of survival.

But when I got here, I found out that only 20,000 of the 200,000 soldiers defending the city had escaped, and most of them were local people from Liaocheng. The remaining small number were disabled old soldiers. For them, it made little sense to escape or not.

This is also the main reason why there are both civilians and soldiers guarding the city now. Even the Ji family members who followed their grandfather to Liaocheng have put on armor and become part of the soldiers guarding the city.

But seeing his grandfather's hair turn white overnight, he felt heartbroken, but he was powerless to change anything...

Did Ji Ziyang hate the armies of Beifeng and Donglin? He couldn't hate them. He hated Princess Chuyu and Feng Yuxuan even more!

If it weren't for them, mother and son, the Southern Chu Kingdom would still be the prosperous Southern Chu Kingdom, where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, men farmed and women weaved, soldiers guarded their homes without regrets, and literati read poetry and books in order to serve their country!
