===========================

As night fell, Ruan Peixu's army was approaching the city. The Guijue palace was like a box made of copper and iron walls. There were people guarding it day and night from all directions.

However, they have already mastered the shift change time of the Guijue City Defense Force, and they just need to wait for the right time to come.

At midnight, shifts began to change everywhere. Ruan Peixu led more than a thousand people to sneak under the palace wall, and Gao Luohong's people responded. A gap was opened at the west side door of the palace, and 1000 people poured in. Under the cover of the army, they broke through the west gate quickly and ruthlessly. Many people quickly changed into the enemy's clothes and mixed into the garrison who came to support them in the dark.

The flames of war were instantly ignited, and no one had the time to think about how Dajia Kingdom suddenly broke through the defenses. Torches were lit everywhere, and noises resounded from all directions.

Dongfang Yue hadn't closed his eyes for several days. King Guijue knew that he was exhausted and committed suicide by taking poison. Just as Dongfang Yue covered him with a white cloth, the queen fainted. , Ao Youyou is already crazy.

The noise rang out, Dongfang Yue pushed away from Yanqi's bedroom and walked out, facing the garrison who came to report the war, she only said "Shou" and went silently to the Guijue Conference Hall.

Where is he going to wait for the final judgment.

Bad news came one by one. First, the west gate was lost, then the east gate was breached, and finally the enemy attacked from both sides to the middle, disrupting the order of the main gate.

By dawn, the palace was completely lost.

Wen Lou entered the main hall to meet the current king, looked at the people sitting on the steps drinking silently, he was full of questions and didn't have the nerve to ask.

The demise of the Guijue Kingdom was already a certainty. After so many years of hard work, it was still a game of defeat, allowing the Dajia Kingdom to take the lead.

Dongfang Yue raised her head and looked at Wen Lou: "Don't uncle take relatives to find a way out?"

Wen Lou stepped forward, sat next to him on the steps, picked up the wine jug and shook it, hearing the sound of water sloshing inside, then raised his head to the mouth of the jug and took a long gulp.

After drinking, he looked at Dongfang Yue and sighed: "The queen is my sister, you are my nephew, and they are all my relatives. I will take you to find a way out, will you go?"

Dongfang Yue paused and took another sip of wine.

"I didn't want to lose." Dongfang Yue said.

"No one wants to lose in a war, but only one wins." Wen Lou spun the empty jug on the steps, and the jug rolled down the steps in a circle, jingling, bang, bang, " It's just that Guijue doesn't have that kind of luck, that he can't meet a king or general who can lead him to prosperity."

Once upon a time, Guijue was brave and good at fighting, fighting ten of them one by one, occupying the northern territory for hundreds of years, a history longer than the history of Great Jia, but now, there is nothing they can be proud of.

It is certain that he is not reconciled. In order to expand the territory, Dongfang Yue improved the gunpowder so that it can be used on the battlefield. If Huo Yunchao also got the formula, he would definitely win if he continued to fight.

But when both sides have the same weapons, the amount of resources becomes the key. The north is barren and not as rich in products as Dajia. The ancestors who dominated the north back then supported themselves by herding cattle and sheep. Apart from possessing the vast grassland, They don't care about other mud and rocks buried deep in the ground.

Later, the grassland was gradually covered by houses, people changed their way of life, everything outside the grassland suddenly became important, but they had already lost the opportunity, the opponent grew from cubs to adult wolves, and they changed from adult wolves to old wolf.

"You are excellent, but it's a pity that you were born at the wrong time. You shouldn't take over the country when the country is in danger. This is the negligence of me and the king. If it is a peaceful time, you can take care of the country very well. I believe that." Lou sighed, he seldom had the time to reflect. For choosing Dongfang Yue as the king, he was as proud and trustful as Lao Wang, "You are only in your early twenties, too young."

Dongfang Yue smiled, Huo Yunchao was only in his early twenties.

But he didn't know that besides himself, Huo Yunchao also had Huo Bing, Xiao Wang, Gong Shi, Ruan Peixu and many outstanding senior soldiers to help him, and even Gao Luohong was helping him. He was not fighting alone, but Guijue, Not that much help.

Panicked shouts came from outside the palace, and the imperial guards rushed to report that the Dajia army was approaching. They were very fast, as if they knew the layout of the palace like the back of their hands, and they all took the shortest path to gather in the central hall.

Wen Lou asked: "Do you know how they got the map of the palace?"

Dongfang Yue's eyes sank, and she smiled wryly: "I know, he is so smart and has many eyes, he can always win favorable conditions for himself."

"You had a chance to kill him." Wen Lou said, he knew that Dongfang Yue went to look for Qing Tianliang, after Qing Tianliang escaped from the palace, it was a very good opportunity, but it was a pity that Dongfang Yue didn't do it.

"You don't know, for him," Dongfang Yue held her heart, "There is always reluctance here. When I was a child, when the sun was out, he came in here, and he hasn't gone out until now."

Wen Lou sighed.

The guards of the Guijue palace have long lost their morale. The Great Jia Kingdom captured so many cities in Guijue. Now, the common people in those cities, apart from changing their nationality, live their lives in the same way. They have neither become slaves nor been killed by the city massacre. This made the soldiers less willing to fight.

The same is true for Dongfang Yue, he has already seen Huo Yunchao's attitude towards the people, this is a rare commonality between them, what he thinks is also peace in the world, no more wars.

It's just that he ruined a Fancheng for his own selfish desires, compared with Huo Yunchao, he was one degree behind.

"Uncle, let's go." The sound of fighting had already been heard outside the hall, Dongfang Yue stood up, "This palace is not worth commemorating."

Wen Lou immediately stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You are not a very good king, but you are still my favorite nephew, take care and live well."

Dongfang Yue turned her head, only had time to see the loving smile on Lou's face, then sniffed in a burst of fragrance, and finally fell unconscious.

Huo Yunchao led the shadow guards into the hall first, Wen Lou handed Dongfang Yue into his hands, knelt down solemnly, and kowtowed to Huo Yunchao: "Thank you, little prince, for your noble hand."

It was originally planned by Qing Tianliang, but Huo Yunchao tossed him until he sprained his waist. When he really couldn't move, Huo Yunchao scolded him: "Aren't you heartless?"

Qing Tianliang was dumbfounded.

Huo Yunchao said: "You know that he likes you so much, but you still go to trick him, and finally send him to a woman. The murder is not as extreme as yours. If he knows that you did it, what should he think? Although I really want him to die, but I can't see you torturing him like this."

Qing Tianliang suddenly realized, his heart trembled, he almost made a big mistake.

"Then what should we do?" Qing Tianliang looked at Huo Yunchao in panic.

Huo Yunchao said: "Leave it to me, I should have owed Gao Luohong this, and I will fulfill her condition."

So the one who came here became Huo Yunchao.

He first went to Wen Lou and said briefly what he wanted, and Wen Lou agreed to cooperate with him to send Dongfang Yue away. The country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. Ordinary people could escape, but those who were kings and officials could not escape death. I really love Dongfang Yue, so I hope he can live.

Huo Yunchao hurriedly helped Wen Lou up: "Uncle Guo was also a hero on the battlefield back then. He kept pace with old General Ruan. The younger generation has admired you for a long time."

Wen Lou shook his head: "Heroes don't mention the bravery of the past, but now that the Guijue country is destroyed, I will follow the old king. It is a blessing for the people of the world to be guarded by people like you with kindness and kindness. Wen Lou is a blessing for the people of Guijue Thank you again, my lord."

After saying that, I want to bow down again.

Huo Yunchao supported him: "Don't say too much, Ruan Peixu and others will be here soon, although His Majesty told Ruan Peixu to let him go, but 'the king of the enemy country is dead' can make more soldiers feel at ease, so the juniors need to take people away , Erase his existence from now on, so as to save his life."

Wen Lou understood and didn't say any more, and ordered someone to escort Huo Yunchao to leave through the secret passage.

Huo Yun took Dongfang Yue away with his front foot, and heard that Lou set fire to the palace with his back foot. What Ruan Peixu led the army to see was the raging fire. Knowing that the battle was over, he ordered people to clean up the battlefield and clean up the mess.

King Xiao and his rear army entered the palace of Guijue, stood on the tower overlooking the wilderness, and there were beacon fires everywhere, but the prosperity of the past was nowhere to be seen. The Colosseum lay there alone, leaving only ruins and ruins.

"Okay, it's over."

……

In the autumn of 120 of the Dajia Kingdom Calendar, the Guijue Kingdom was destroyed. So far, there is only one Dajia Kingdom left in the middle plate, and the news flies to various places as if it has grown wings.

When the imperial court far away in Zhengyang heard the good news, all the courtiers lost their composure, and some people wept with joy. Even Huo Ying, who was sitting on the throne, couldn't help shouting hello a few times, her brows brimming with joy, but she couldn't find anyone to share her joy with. , Finally, the same Xiang Jun looked at each other, embarrassing everyone, saluted Xiang Jun, Huo Ying coughed twice, and the officials slowly recovered their composure.

In order to prevent Huo Ying from competing for the throne when acting as His Majesty, Xiang Jun defended Huo Ying day and night, which made Huo Ying feel helpless, and the relationship between the two was once very awkward.

Earlier, someone came to report that they saw Qing Tianliang and Huo Yunchao in the military camp. Now that the war is over, they will also embark on the journey back to Zhengyang. Xiang Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Ying said: "The battle in the north is now a great victory, this king wants to recruit General Ruan and others to return to Zhengyang, what do you think?"

Ministers like Xiangjun looked at each other, they all knelt down and said, "Prince Jing is wise."

Huo Ying: "..."

Since ancient times, generals who win battles will be recruited into the court to reward them, but around other monarchs, there will always be one or two courtiers who will stand up at this time to remind the king to be careful of his ministers. He couldn't wait that much, and he didn't have the slightest sense of defense against the general who held the military power, which made him feel very frustrated.

He even threatened to fight for the throne, but people gave him the seat, but he couldn't win people's hearts, so why fight?

Huo Ying waved her hand, feeling for the first time that there is nothing wrong with being an idle prince.

……

That winter.

Qing Tianliang huddled under the blanket and didn't want to get up, it was snowing heavily outside, Huo Yunchao opened the window, stood at the window and called him: "Didn't you say you're going to swim in the lake today, why can't you afford it?"

When it snowed yesterday, Qing Tianliang became very emotional, and said that he wanted to go to the lake with Huo Yunchao. The lake scenery in a snowy day was amazing, and he wanted to see it.

I couldn't sleep until this morning, I was too cold to move.

"No, Xue is not as good-looking as you, I just want to see you." Qing Tianliang huddled under the quilt and said, "Get something to eat, I'm about to starve to death."

Huo Yunchao had no choice but to bring in the cooked food and put it on the table. He went to the bed and lifted the quilt. Qing Tianliang exclaimed and hurried into Huo Yunchao's open cloak. Huo Yunchao wrapped him up and carried him to the table, saying: " A letter from the imperial court urging you to go back."

"Isn't this on the way back? What's the rush?" Qing Tianliang stirred the hot soup irritably, blew it twice and fed it into his mouth.

Huo Yunchao said with a smile: "Who goes back and walks for a day or two to rest for a month or two? Ruan Peixu has returned to northern Xinjiang after receiving the reward, Zuo Ye and Zhang Xiuyun have already held a wedding in Zhengyang, and Ying Li has made an official recognition." Master, Huo Ying couldn't help but shouted to go back to the fief, and returned from Guijue on the same day, and you are still wandering outside."

Qing Tianliang's left ear went in and his right ear went out, but he didn't take returning to the palace seriously. He knew that after returning to the palace, he would not be as comfortable as he is now. Can't be with him every day, who would like to go to such a painful place?If Huo Yunchao didn't agree to wander around the world, he would have wanted to run away.

Huo Yunchao scratched his nose, and said: "You always don't go back, and the court affairs are always unfinished. How can I have time to prepare for the big wedding?"

Qing Tianliang was stunned, and raised his head to look at him: "What do you mean?"

Huo Yunchao said: "You said you wanted to marry me, do you want to admit it?"

Qing Tianliang's heart was surging, his heart was full of enthusiasm, his heart was in a hurry, his heart was not as good as his action, he put down the spoon and stood up from Huo Yunchao's arms, and walked out while pulling people.

"Let's go, go back to Zhengyang immediately."

Huo Yunchao smiled: "There are still a few interesting places, don't you want to go?"

Qing Tianliang, who was in a dilemma between freedom and love, stood at the door with a grudge, against the cold wind, and said angrily: "Bastard, you're catching me again!"
