under the peony

At dawn the next day, a resonant bugle sounded outside the gate of Jiangcheng.

It was clearly a loud and clear voice, but when it reached the city, people panicked.

Hearing such a voice, Yang Shuhan gradually went berserk.

His subordinates, the soldiers guarding the city, finally couldn't bear it any longer. In the end, someone who didn't know who was trembling said in a low voice: "We...surrender!"

When he said this, although the others did not dare to express their opinions in person, they were very excited inside. He undoubtedly expressed everyone's aspirations.

Yes, let's surrender.

However, we have persisted for so long, won't Dayan hate us?Don't they want to vent their hatred by massacring the city?

Will… maybe not.

Who knows what Dayan people think?

Everyone doesn't know what the future holds.But the current situation is no different from the [-]th floor of hell.

If the final result of surrender is death, then at least the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain, and death can be happier.

If you stick to it any longer, you really can't hold on anymore, your heart is already flustered, and you are scattered, and the sound of bugles outside is just a reminder to die.

But Yang Shuhan heard it, paused for a moment, and then suddenly drew his sword, the tip of the sword swept across, slashing up and down: "Who said that? Stand up!"

Everyone immediately stopped him and hugged him.

General, don't be impulsive!

At this moment, Yang Shuhan's heart was extremely sad, and the dignity of the general disappeared instantly.

Holding the hilt of the sword, he drew the sword and looked around in a daze. Then, in front of everyone, he put the sword across his neck and said solemnly:

"Jiangcheng can't hold it anymore, I'm a sinner in Daliang, I don't deserve to live in this world!"

As he said that, he wanted to commit suicide.

Seeing this, the subordinates immediately greeted him with howling ghosts and wolves:

"No! General! You are the best soldier I have ever seen! You are a good man who stands up to the sky, the backbone of the beam, a real man, and a real god of war!"

"It's easy to die, but it's hard to live! If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about firewood! General! You must commit suicide!"

"Yes, yes! General! Don't be impulsive! There is only one kind of hero in this world, and that is to know the difficulties of the world but still live!"

The cousin passed by and saw a large group of men huddling together, all of them with sad faces, speaking extremely nasty words, and immediately laughed at them crazily.

She smiled so happily and so mockingly.

When Yang Shuhan heard his cousin's crazy laughter, he became even more angry, and pointed his sword at his cousin again: "I'll kill her!"

The subordinate immediately stopped him again: "No, general! That's your first wife!"

After all, Yang Shuhan belonged to the Yang family, he hated: "So what if you kill your wife!"

You can't kill your wife!

Dayan's army has overwhelmed the border, and we will be incorporated into Dayan's territory in the future.

But what kind of country is Dayan? It's the empire of women.Although it is said on the surface that the queen is the most respected, and the noble blood of the goddess is the most honorable, but this kind of atmosphere spreads down, which family of Dayan is not a woman who is the master of the house?

Before they came, you killed your own wife and woman. This is undoubtedly a provocation to them!They will pick on you, General, you will be finished!

When Yang Shuhan heard this, he clenched the hilt of his sword tightly, and finally threw the sword to the ground in despair: "I have studied and practiced martial arts for more than ten years, and I have devoted myself to serving the leader, but in the end! Sad! Sad!"

Then, the subordinates also followed him in mourning, cursing the world.

The cousin listened, laughing even more crazily, but also happier, laughing until tears came out.

If she is still conscious at this moment, then she must think, who is crazy?

But Yang Shuhan still didn't give up, he looked at the dark clouds outside the window, and said viciously: "We feigned surrender!"

The moment Empress Dayan stepped into the land of Jiangcheng, kill her!

"Then, we kill ourselves, and would rather be a ghost of a big beam than a slave of a big swallow!"

Dayan's army is about to enter Jiangcheng.Once the city gate was opened, from then on, this place no longer belonged to Daliang at all.

The dignitaries and gentry of Jiangcheng obediently stood on both sides of the Central Avenue of Jiangcheng, wanting to "happily" welcome the arrival of Dayan's army.

Appearing with a mournful face, Dayan's empress would be unhappy when she saw it.So now they have to laugh, laugh hard, the kind of smile that makes them happier than seeing their own mother!

For them, they don't have the concept of country and family. Once the emperor has one courtier, if the dynasty changes, it will change.

Therefore, when many people in Jiangcheng fled, they stayed.For them, it's the same everywhere.

Even if the family property is stolen by Dayan, with their connections, wealth can be accumulated again in a few years.

But when Yang Shuhan saw those rich and powerful gentry, the tension in his mind broke immediately.

Before, when Yang Shuhan asked them for food, they were also like Su Yun at the beginning, refusing to give it alive or dead, but they were not as tough as Su Yun, but pretended to be very similar, very sincere, and put A lot of luxurious gold and silver treasures, silk and satin were brought out.

But there is no food.

At this time, those things are far less important than a small bag of grain.

Yang Shuhan went to ask them again. They wore pudding clothes, pretended to be pitiful, and said in mourning that they had no money. They also killed some lowly maidservants in their house, saying that they had reached the end of their lives and had no other choice. on the way.

If the general asks them again, he will force them to death. How did they end up defending the city with the general? Sad, sad!

So, Yang Shuhan believed it.

Under Su He's teaching, Su Yun knew that it was useless to just listen to what they said. When it really came to that point, he directly ransacked the house, first to see if there was anything there.

Basically, not to mention the general situation, Su He has never discovered anything.

Now, Yang Shuhan was so angry that he drew his sword, and wanted to kill the plump, warmly dressed official who was closest to him.

No, he wants to kill all these people!

Now, is it not too late for him to copy the homes of these people?Is there still hope for Daliang?

His subordinates immediately hugged him: "General! No! Your Majesty the Empress is about to enter the city!"

As a last resort, Yang Shuhan reluctantly stuffed the sword body into the scabbard, then kneeled down on the ground tragically on one knee, waiting for the arrival of Empress Dayan.

He didn't kneel down because he thought he was still very upright.

At this time, it was snowing again, and it was like goose feathers, fluttering, and soon, the avenue was covered with a layer of white and flawless carpet, making everyone feel cold to the bone.

This may be the coldest winter in Daliang's history.

All of a sudden, everyone in Jiangcheng began to cry as the heavy snow fell.

However, the north wind whistled like a knife, and it hurt my face.

Forget it, wipe away the tears, don't cry.

Not long after, another bugle sounded, and before everyone felt that the sound was so close to them, the gates of the city were wide open, and a brand new, unprecedented era was coming.

Deathly silence.

The north wind howled, and under the snowflakes all over the sky, a woman wearing a scarlet fur cloak and a Shura mask appeared riding a black steed.

In the whiteness of the sky, there suddenly appeared such thick colors of red and black, it was overwhelming, and the heart stopped beating in shock.

If he raised his head again, he would immediately faint from the fear of that ferocious Shura mask.

This is Dayan's empress? !

Is she that crazy?Taking the lead and stepping into Jiangcheng alone?

Yes, she is that crazy.

She leads the battle personally, and she takes the lead in every battle, so for her, these are really small scenes.

But immediately, the atmosphere suddenly became more dignified.

A few men in black suddenly appeared in the crowd, and rushed towards the empress at high speed.

It's too funny.

Although today is cloudy, the sky is very dark, very dark, but it is snowing heavily now, their night clothes are too conspicuous compared with the heavy white, the empress doesn't even move, as if there is nothing at all As if seeing them, they were all subdued by the guards who appeared immediately behind.

Then, they all looked at Yang Shuhan, who was passing by the empress at this moment, and called him: "General!"

The Empress immediately stopped in front of Yang Shuhan, staring at him motionless.

He knelt on one knee without moving, without lifting his head.It was as if Mount Tai was pressing down on the top, it was so heavy that people almost vomited blood.

Then, Yang Shuhan finally couldn't hold back, raised his head slowly, his eyes gradually went up, he looked at the jet black of the horse, at the scarlet red of the cloak, and then saw the empress' Shura mask.

At that moment, as if hallucinating, that Shura attacked him ferociously, trying to eat him.He was so frightened that he knelt and sat on the ground.

Immediately, the Dayan soldiers in the rear, male and female, all laughed unceremoniously.The woman's laughter was especially prominent, because no woman in Daliang dared to laugh so presumptuously.

When they laughed, everyone in Jiangcheng laughed too.

But the empress didn't smile, she lowered her head, and through the mask, she casually glanced in Yang Shuhan's direction with piercing eyes, as if she could kill her with her eyes.

Yang Shuhan felt cold all over his body, as if he had been pierced by an ice pick, and it turned him into a hedgehog.

The Empress didn't look at him again, she drove the horse and walked forward slowly.

What happened down the mountain immediately spread up the mountain.

The gate of Jiangcheng was wide open, and the Empress rode in easily on a horse.

Some people wanted to assassinate the Empress, but they were subdued in a matter of seconds.

But the empress didn't get angry, and she didn't let their heads fall because of this, and she didn't transfer her anger to Jiangcheng and massacre the city.

She doesn't seem to be as tyrannical as in the legend at all, and she enjoys killing and killing for fun.

Su Yun immediately breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "Then I'm relieved!"

but--

Su Feng: "However, the Empress didn't stop all the way, she went directly to the villa."

What is this going to do?

In an instant, Su Yun's heart beat extremely fast.

She has lived so long, this is the time when her heart is beating the fastest.And she also suddenly felt very bad, with an extremely ominous premonition deep in her heart.

Su Yun directly asked someone to open the gate of the cottage, ready to welcome the empress sincerely.

But she was still terrified of the unknown, so she took Yingying and Keke to hide them in the cellar, and sent people to guard them to protect them. If something happened, hurry up Pull them both to escape.

Ying Ying: "Mom! We want to be with you!"

Ke Ke reacted even more strongly and hugged Su Yun's thigh directly.

Su Yun relentlessly pulled Keke away, asked Zicheng to pull Yingying and Keke, and closed the door of the cellar, no matter how Yingying and Keke cried.

Finally, Su Yun stood at the door of the cellar, and said bitterly, as if saying his last words:

"As long as you two are okay, it doesn't matter to me. If something happens to me, you two should be happy for me. I... I can finally see her. "

She could finally see Luo Qingyan.

If it wasn't for her and Ying Ying and Ke Ke, she would have died a long time ago.

She has been making preparations all these years, and when Ying Ying and Ke Ke grow up and don't need her to take care of them anymore, she will die.

Yingying and Keke hugged Zicheng and wept bitterly in the cellar.

Zicheng didn't know how to comfort them, so he let them cry, and he felt a headache.

Not long after, there was movement outside.

It's Dayan's soldiers coming!

But the actual situation was much better than imagined, and there were no disputes or fights outside.

Then, the cellar door was opened peacefully.

Zicheng immediately grasped the sword in his hand, protecting Yingying and Keke behind him.

But under the gaze of Yingying and Keke, the person who walked in was actually Yan Feiwan!

Both Yingying and Keke were dumbfounded: "Mother?"

Why did Miss Yan Feiwan appear here? She was still wearing Dayan people's clothes and leading Dayan's soldiers.

Yan Feiwan looked at the two of them, but bowed respectfully and called them:

"Your Highness!"

The empress came to the villa with the gate wide open, and rode a black horse all the way, unimpeded by the wind and snow, as if there was no one else around.

Even though she entered the room, passed the pavilions all the way, and finally came to the lobby where Su Yun was, she still rode the black horse without getting off, and looked at Su Yun below from above.

Su Yun looked at her, his heart beat faster, and the ominous feeling in his heart almost exploded.

"you……"

This empress is so strange, has Su Yun known her before?

But the feeling she gave Su Yun was really strange, both familiar and strange.

Then, under Su Yun's gaze, the Empress took off her mask, revealing the face of Su Yun who has been dreaming and thinking about it day and night, but always dare not think about it, for fear of crying.

——It's Luo Qingyan.

Su Yun suffocated for breath, and was stunned for an instant, his heart almost stopped beating at that moment, and tears flowed out without disappointment.

Luo Qingyan?

"Luo Qingyan!"

Su Yun immediately stood up, and ran towards Luo Qingyan without hesitation, weeping.

But Luo Qingyan saw her crying, her expression was cold and unmoved, she looked at her as if she was looking at a stranger, more like looking at a dead person.

She opened her mouth, and her voice was as cold and clear as before.

But pointing at Su Yun with his haughty chin, he said ruthlessly to the soldiers beside him:

"Drag her down—cut."

Coming all the way from the city gate of Jiangcheng, the empress who killed no one had the intention to kill Su Yun who seemed to be meeting for the first time in her life.
