After another day and night, Shunshui City.

Lin Xiu stood alone on the high gate tower in the city overlooking the city.The lights flickered, and the handover of the regime seemed to have not affected the city at all.The people still live and work in peace and contentment, living a harmonious and peaceful life.

And all of this may soon be broken.Lin Xiu's heart was heavy.Rufeng has not come back yet.The spies didn't find any new news, but Wu's army is ready to go. Tomorrow, Wu's army will capture Shunshui.

It wasn't even a conquest, Lin Xiu felt bitter, but there was no other way.She was prepared for all the worst, but her heart was still very sad.I think she is also arrogant for half her life, and she has never been in such a powerless situation. Now that she is in the middle of the situation, she knows what it means to be involuntary.

Footsteps sounded behind him, and Chen Yunjian approached slowly.

"National teacher, are you still unable to sleep?" Ever since Xiao Shu'an was taken hostage, Lin Xiu hadn't slept much, and couldn't eat much.Chen Yunjian could understand Lin Xiu's mood, but she was still worried about her body.

Chen Yunjian originally thought that he already liked Xiao Shu'an very much, but now that he saw Lin Xiu's appearance, he felt that maybe he just had a good impression, not that much liking.If Chen Yunjian chooses, he will be a little entangled, but it won't be too long. He is a general, and it is his duty to guard the territory.

Just as Chen Yunjian was thinking, Lin Xiu said calmly, "Brother Chen, arrange for the people in the city to leave the city tomorrow morning."

Lin Xiu called Brother Chen instead of General Chen, indicating that this request was more of his own personal wish. He didn't want to use his status as a national teacher to give orders, and it seemed that he would feel less guilty that way.

Chen Yunjian actually somewhat guessed Lin Xiu's choice, so she wasn't too shocked.

"Okay, tomorrow morning I will ask the people to evacuate, leaving only the soldiers to guard Shunshui City with you."

"Let's withdraw the soldiers too, you can take them away, I'm fine here alone."

Chen Yunjian was shocked: "Are you crazy? Lin Xiu! You are courting death, do you know that? Not only will you not be able to get Shu'an back by doing this, you will also die together."

Lin Xiu smiled wryly: "Let it be fate, Ah Zhong will help me. If Shu An can be rescued, I hope you will help her more in the future. If not, I will accompany her, she will not be alone."

"What do you mean?" Chen Yunjian thought for a while and said, "Does it mean that you will die regardless of whether Shu An can be saved?"

Lin Xiudao: "You understand in your heart, don't you? They have Shu An in their hands. It's useless for you and the soldiers to stay here. Call me selfish. I can't let Shu An die first. I will open the city gate for Wu Jun."

Lin Xiu gritted her back molars: "I will hand over Shunshui City. Although I haven't been in Zhou Kingdom for a long time, I have done something. This Shunshui is the reward I want from His Majesty. You Tell His Majesty... that I failed him."

"National teacher!" Chen Yunjian wanted to say something, but Lin Xiu didn't want to hear it.

"General, it's late at night, go back, I've made a decision, and I won't change it."

Chen Yunjian saw that Lin Xiu was stubborn, and it was useless to talk too much, so he had to leave sullenly.As for how to do it, he still had no idea in mind.

---------------------------------

Early the next morning, Chen Yunjian sent officers and soldiers to arrange for the evacuation of the people in the city.The officers and soldiers were very efficient. By noon, the people in the city had been dismissed.Only the soldiers in the army remained.

Chen Yunjian knocked on Lin Xiu's door and walked in. Lin Xiu didn't lift her head and said, "Wu Jun is here? You should retreat quickly, they don't have much patience, and they will rush in soon."

Chen Yunjian gave Lin Xiu a blank look, and said angrily, "Not here yet." After a moment of silence, he said, "Master, do you really want us to go?"

"Well, it's useless for you to stay here, just get out. Wait for the results here... You wait for the opportunity, this is going well, Zhou Guo must take it back, otherwise, the great cause will be impossible." Xiu handed Chen Yunjian a letter: "You can take this letter back to Your Majesty. Take a good look at the military book I wrote for you, and explain the art of war to the soldiers under him. It is not enough to rely on force alone. It takes resourcefulness."

After speaking, Lin Xiu smiled, as if saying goodbye.Chen Yunjian felt very uncomfortable.He took the letter and solemnly put it away.

"Let's go, don't delay too long." Lin Xiu urged.

Chen Yunjian glanced at Lin Xiu with nostalgia, and said with some emotion, "Brother Lin, take care."

Lin Xiu nodded and said with a smile, "Yes."

The two looked at each other with respect, and Chen Yunjian simply left without staying any longer.

The door of the room was closed, and Lin Xiu sat in it blankly. At this point, her mood has become more open-minded.She even couldn't help fantasizing, if she and Shu An died, would they be reborn?Or time travel to modern times?

After all, she has already traveled through time, so these ideas are not unrealistic.Maybe it will.

But whether it will or not, Lin Xiu feels that she will not regret her choice.If she regretted it, she only regretted staying in Guanshan for so long and wasting ten years.She should have come to Zhou Guolai earlier and got to know Xiao Shu'an earlier, so that the short time she had had would not be over.

I just thought about it in the room for a long time, and I don't know what time it is.Lin Xiu saw the rays of the setting sun outside the house, so she got up slowly and walked out the door.

There was no one on the street, and it was surprisingly quiet in such a huge city.It was still lively and brightly lit last night, but today it has become a lonely city.In the air, Lin Xiu could only hear her own footsteps, walking towards the tower step by step.

Solemnly walked up the tower step by step, looking at the dust and smoke in the distance, it should be a large number of people rushing here.

"Looks like the time is just right." Lin Xiu said to herself.

Soon, Wu Shou and his son came to the city with a large number of troops.Maybe it was because Xiao Shu'an was in his hand as a talisman, Wu Jun was very arrogant, he didn't stop until a few meters away from the gate of the city, not at all afraid that Zhou Jun would give up Xiao Shu'an.

"Lin Xiu, what's the matter, have you considered it? Do you want your princess?" Wu Kai smiled presumptuously, and sent his servants to bring Xiao Shu'an to the front.I saw Xiao Shu'an was bound hands and feet, but he looked decently dressed, but he was more haggard than before.

Lin Xiu finally felt relieved. It seemed that what Ah Zhong said was true. Shu An was only imprisoned, but he didn't suffer too much torture.

"Shu An, are you okay?" Lin Xiu asked urgently.

"Lin Xiu, don't agree to his request, don't lose it along the way!" Xiao Shu'an shouted.

Wu Kai smiled disapprovingly.He was sure that Lin Xiu and Xiao Shu'an were more in love with Jin Jian. According to his observation, the two were really in love. He didn't believe that Lin Xiu would give up on Xiao Shu'an.So he didn't stop Xiao Shu'an even though she shouted, and he felt happier in this way.

Lin Xiu opened her mouth to say something, but she held back.She just looked at her affectionately, as if every second was so precious.Seeing Lin Xiu like this, Xiao Shu'an felt distressed, she silently shook her head, and advised her not to be stupid.

Lin Xiu understood what she meant, smiled at her gently, and then asked Wu Kai seriously: "Why did you let Shu An go?"

Wu Kai proudly said: "It's very simple, I want this Shunshui City! Open the city gate, let Wu Jun enter, and let all the soldiers of the Zhou Army retreat from Shunshui, so I will let Xiao Shuan go. Otherwise... Wu Kai looked at Xiao Shuan, He smiled evilly, and I don't mind having another little wife. After all, Brother Lin, you have good eyesight. Who wouldn't like such a symbolic beauty like a princess? At most, I will spend a little more effort to capture Shun Shui. Believe me I can still do it.”

Lin Xiu was enraged by Wu Kai's words: "Heavenly reincarnation, Wu Kai, I will make you pay for the crimes you committed today. I will destroy your family, your country and your city!"

What Lin Xiu said was aggressive, but Wu Kai didn't take it seriously. He sarcastically said, "I thought Lin Guoshi would be different, but now it seems that you still can't escape the vulgarity. Now you are the fish and I am the knife. The national teacher said What's the point of venting? Cheesy!"

Lin Xiu said calmly: "It's better to be vulgar than mean, at least I won't threaten with hostages."

"That's because you can't coerce me with hostages. Lin Guoshi, I'm not like you, I'm still a lover. In Wu Kai's eyes, no one is more important than the city. You are emotional, so you lose. To be honest, if you don’t move your heart, I might really not be your opponent. Unfortunately, a hero is sad, and you like a woman so much. This is your biggest weakness. I can see it, this is my ability , the national teacher shouldn't become angry from embarrassment. Hahaha!" Wu Kai laughed wildly, but Lin Xiuqi clenched his fists but it didn't help.

Suddenly there were footsteps approaching, Lin Xiu turned around in surprise, and saw a soldier climbing the city wall.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Lin Xiu asked in a low voice.

The soldier didn't answer Lin Xiu's words, but told Lin Xiu in a low voice: "National Teacher, the general asked me to tell you that Zhou's reinforcements will enter the city soon, and Helian Ding will also arrive. He told you not to open the city gate. Hold on to the time!"

"General Chen is still in the city?"

"The general is gone now. General Rufeng sent a letter saying that Chu Fu brought another 15 troops to take revenge. General Chen rushed over to help. He said that he would join hands with Chu Fu to attack the Wu army from behind. The army depends on how you deal with the national teacher. The general said that he copied Wu Jun's back route, and he is also a threat. Maybe he can save the princess, don't worry." The soldier said a lot of good news in one breath, and Lin Xiu's eyes gradually brightened glow.

The brain that hadn't turned on for a long time seemed to suddenly start to work fast, and in an instant, she seemed to have thought of several ways to rescue Shu An.Her brain kept sending him a signal: she and Shu An don't need to die, they are saved, they have a future!

Turning his head again, Wu Kai was surprised to find that Lin Xiu was no longer the lifeless and angry person just now.She seemed to have changed in an instant. Although her face was still haggard, her eyes... were full of fighting spirit and hope!

Could it be that she has a way to rescue Xiao Shu'an?Or is she up to some trick?Wu Kai suddenly felt flustered.But after thinking about it, with Xiao Shu'an in her hands, it is impossible for Lin Xiu to do anything!Shaking his head, Wu Kai calmed himself down, not to be fooled by Lin Xiu's tricks.

He began to urgently urge: "Lin Xiu! Open the city gate quickly! Stop talking nonsense, if you don't open the city gate, just wait for Xiao Shu'an's body to be collected!"

As he spoke, he put the knife on Xiao Shu'an's neck.
