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

Ji Fenglin pulled the corners of his lips stiffly, "At any time, you have to look carefully to see whether what you get after making a decision is more or more worthwhile than what you give up. If so, then there is nothing to be reluctant about..."

Ji Ziyang's eyes had long been blurred by tears. He knew that his grandfather had decided to sacrifice his life for his country, but his grandfather had taught him to make choices, so why couldn't he give up the Southern Chu Kingdom?

But Ji Ziyang knew his grandfather's temper, and he said in a trembling voice: "Grandfather, Yang'er has learned his lesson!"

He raised his head and looked around, then said coldly, "Open the city gate!"

Everyone had tears in their eyes but no one spoke in agreement. However, the crowd moved involuntarily towards the city gate until the gate of Liaocheng was blocked.

“Squeak…Boom…”

I don't know who took down the first door balance on the city gate first, and then the second one...

Yu Jiyan, Ying Luo and a few others were still wandering outside the city gate on horseback when they suddenly heard a heavy sound coming from inside the city gate. They thought that the soldiers in Liao city were preparing to open the city gate to fight.

They just arrived twenty miles outside Liaocheng last night, and today they brought a team of people to investigate the situation of the Liaocheng defenders. Unexpectedly, the soldiers in Liaocheng did not dare to fight, and there was not even someone to take charge and speak for them. They were left outside the city, which was a bit frustrating.

Just as Yu Jiyan was preparing to go back and sneak into the city at night to investigate the military defenses in Liaocheng, several people heard the sound of the Liaocheng gate about to open.

At this moment, the people in the city suddenly shouted in unison: "Open the city gate!"

The sound was deafening and resounded throughout the heavens and earth. Yu Jiyan was stunned and didn't understand what the defender of Liaocheng meant.

"Second Young Master Yu, what are they trying to do?" Ying Luo followed Yu Jiyan purely to protect him, and was also confused at this moment.

The Donglin general beside him also frowned slightly, wondering why he was just going to war with the armies of their two countries, but the words "open the city gate" made him feel tragic and heroic for some reason.

"In my opinion, we should retreat first. Now you and I don't know what the Liaocheng defender is thinking. We are just a few people. If they want to surround and kill us..." said the old general Donglin with narrowed eyes.

Yu Jiyan and his companions were not unwilling to listen to the advice. They nodded, turned their horses around and prepared to join the main army first.

Suddenly, accompanied by a heavy roar, the gate of Liaocheng behind them was opened. Several people subconsciously looked into Liaocheng, and almost all the people they saw were ordinary people.

But none of them were careless, fearing that these people were just like the people in the previous cities, all poisoned puppets.

Several people retreated slowly with vigilant eyes. The 100,000 soldiers not far behind them also saw something wrong at the gate of Liaocheng City. They marched quickly and were ready to trap those "puppet" people at any time.

They have experience in this matter. They have done this frequently when attacking those cities before, and they have become very proficient at it.

At this time, an old voice sounded on the tower of Liaocheng, "Generals of Beifeng and Donglin! The fortune of Nanchu is gone. Today, I am willing to bear the name of traitor to open the gate of Liaocheng for you. Please treat the people in Liaocheng and the soldiers guarding the city well!"

Yu Jiyan narrowed his eyes and looked up at the old man on the tower, hesitantly said: "This person..."

"Prime Minister Ji Fenglin of Nanchu!" Ying Luo beside him replied.

General Dong Lin looked slightly surprised, "Hasn't Prime Minister Nan Chuji already resigned and disappeared? Also, why has he become so old?!"

Naturally, there were spies from both countries in the capital of Southern Chu, so they knew something about Prime Minister Ji's family. However, they did not expect this old man to appear here, and even directly handed over Liaocheng...

Ji Fenglin closed his eyes tightly, then suddenly lifted his robe and knelt on the city wall. This kneeling not only broke his spine, but also made him kneel down and give away the land he once loved most to others.

But, he felt that this kneeling was worth it!

"I would like to thank you here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Yu Jiyan and the others could recover from their surprise at confirming Ji Fenglin's identity, Ji Fenglin jumped down from the city wall in front of everyone!

"boom!"

The old man's body fell into the city and gradually turned into dust. After a gust of wind, the dust dispersed, just like the old man's turbulent life, when the wind blows, the dust flies, but it is also inevitable that the wind leaves without a trace.

In the end, the old man left his life in his hometown.

"grandfather!!"

Ji Ziyang ran down from the city wall with a grief-stricken face. He should have grabbed his grandfather just now, but his grandfather's calm and lifeless eyes made him subconsciously withdraw his hand.

Yu Jiyan and his companions were slightly surprised. They had just heard that Ji Fenglin had "delivered" Liaocheng to them from the city wall. They were secretly delighted in their hearts. This was a good thing that did not cost a single soldier!

Some of them even thought about how to keep Ji Fenglin for their use. Even if Southern Chu was destroyed, it would still need someone to govern it in the future. Ji Fenglin, the prime minister of Southern Chu, was a very capable person among the four countries.

But the man just jumped down from the tower. They didn't even have a chance to speak. Such a rare talent ended his life in front of them...

The gates of Liaocheng were wide open. The common people and soldiers defending the city were so shocked by the old prime minister's suicide that they were speechless and stood still. Didn't the old prime minister say that he would surrender?

After surrendering, the Donglin army of Beifeng would treat them well. Why did they obey in the end and the old prime minister still wanted to die?

If I had known this earlier, if I had known this earlier...

"Old Prime Minister!"

No one knew who cried out first, but the cry was like a drop of water splashing into an oil pan, which suddenly exploded. Sobbing sounds continued to come from the city gate, and then those people ran towards Ji Fenglin's body like crazy.

This scene was extremely complicated in the eyes of Yu Jiyan and others. Although they didn't know what Prime Minister Ji did in Liaocheng after he resigned and retired, they knew that someone who could convince and support these common people and soldiers must have done something that made everyone willing to believe in him.

Several people felt regretful again. How could such a talented person commit suicide?

Ji Ziyang held his grandfather's body in his arms despite the grief, then walked to the horses of Yu Jiyan and his companions and bowed slightly to them: "Everyone, please wait for me to settle the grandfather's body before welcoming you into the city."

General Dong Lin sighed and said, "Alas, we have never intended to force Prime Minister Ji to death, and we have never harmed the innocent people of Nanchu..."

"Forget it, there is no point in talking about this now. Let's first let Prime Minister Ji rest in peace."

Yu Jiyan also nodded slightly. He had just taken a special look at the situation in Liaocheng. Except for some civilians and the elderly, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, the military strength of Liaocheng was not worth mentioning at all.
