Chapter 58 Almost Died
"Where are they? Why can't I see them?" Father Xie asked anxiously.

The yamen servant next to him looked hesitant and said, "The sheriff... Looking at the scene outside, his subordinates speculate that they should still be hiding in the refugee room and have not come out."

"What?!" Xie Yun's thin face widened his eyes because of fright.Looking down at the refugee house that had been smashed into ruins by the trebuchet, the sky suddenly collapsed, and the eyes went dark, almost unstable.

Tears streamed down Xie Yun's face, and he cried, "You two silly children, no matter how long you delay, this battle is doomed to be lost!"

As he spoke, his expression changed, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and said with a determined expression: "Order, surrender! At this point, we can only risk our lives and take a gamble."

……

……

When Xie Yunxie, the county guard, led the local gentry heroes, holding the surrender letter in both hands, out of the city gate, kneeling, and raising it above the top, he looked at the refugee camp that had been smashed without a single good house, and his heart ached. Hang, I no longer have much hope for the survival of the two children.

Xie Yun, who left the Wei State of the Northern Dynasty many years ago to escape the danger of genocide, now has a sense of fate at the mercy of God.

Shen Liuzhen, who he had placed high hopes on to revive the Xie family one day, was gone, as was his only daughter.Now it has fallen into the hands of the Wei State of the Northern Dynasty who wiped out the Xie clan...

Is it really because their surname Xie was extremely glorious and exhausted his luck, so now God wants him to wipe out Xie's family, leaving no hope of turning around?
Xie Yun lowered his head, looking at the boots of the person who came to pick up the book, his face was extremely calm.

Without hope, what is there to fear?
At this moment, Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen hugged each other and were buried in the ruins.

A huge stone broke the beam and fell at their feet. The collapsed planks and tiles were in a mess, filled with smoke and dust, and they couldn't see anything.

Suddenly, Xie Yuan coughed several times due to choking, and asked, "Are you all okay..."

"My leg seems to be broken and I can't move." A soldier in a corner said painfully.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qinbing said, "Brothers, we will help you right away. Wait for a while, the trebuchet seems to have stopped. A Yuan, how about you, Liuzhen?"

Shen Liuzhen covered his mouth and nose with his wide sleeve, and said sullenly, "I'm fine...we're stuck here."

It was only after the smoke and dust had settled that they saw that the broken beams were poked on the ground, just opening a safe area and trapping them inside.

Fortunately, the bricks and beams used to build the house were considered strong at that time. Otherwise, the stones would have gone in both directions at that time, and they would have been smashed to pieces by now...

Xie Yuan looked at the wood in front of him, and raised his hand to push it.Liu Qinbing quickly said:
"Don't be dangerous, wait for us to clean up from the outside! Wait..."

The two corners of Liu Qinbing didn't collapse, they quickly came out of it, and the two of them worked together to remove the broken wood and bricks, and Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen crawled out.

Then he turned non-stop to help another soldier.

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen hid out, wondering why the trebuchet stopped, and the city was surprisingly quiet.

The new houses that had been smashed into tatters collapsed countless times, and the originally flat field of vision could be seen far away.

Below the city gate, where the two armies faced each other, her father was kneeling on the ground, holding the letter of surrender, and just broke into her field of vision.

...surrendered?
Xie Yuan couldn't describe his mood at this moment...disappointed?Or nothing?

Standing beside her, Shen Liuzhen was also stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

They were on the line of life and death just now, didn't those persistence, those fears seem a little ridiculous?Knowing this, why not surrender from the beginning?If so...

Shen Liuzhen's eyes lit up for a moment, and said:
"...Maybe this is also a tactic to slow down the troops. Shall we go out? The others don't matter. The one surnamed Xie has an old grudge with the court of the Beiyi people, and my father is fighting with them on the front line again... It's probably not good for the two of us." .”

Xie Yuan looked around at the ruins, they could see the front of the formation, and the people in front of the formation could naturally see them too.

So he said:
"What if you don't go out? Can you escape?"

At this time, Liu Qinbing and the others came out with another soldier with a wounded leg... Just like them, they were stunned at the scene in the distance.

"Treat the wound first." Xie Yuanyan said, the dead bodies scattered on the ground in front of her caught her eyes, and she thought of Xun Ya who didn't know whether she was alive or dead, so she narrowed her eyes.

The group of them came out in full view and walked to the front.

When Guan Yifei and the others watched the huge trebuchet smashing into it, their hearts were ashamed. Seeing them come out now, they immediately shouted happily:
"Thank you brother!"

"Mr. Shen!"

They were stabbed by the eyes of the Beiyi soldiers next to them, and they stopped talking, and huddled together tremblingly.

The general who received the letter of surrender was very young. He stood there sideways, looked at the disgraced people who came out of the ruins, and said with a mocking smile:

"It's a lot of life? It's okay to smash it like this? Is that what the so-called rats are alive?"

Xie Yun was always pleasantly surprised to see the two children come out safe and sound, but at this time he was a surrendered person, who dared to move without the other party's permission, so he kept resisting the urge to step forward and watch.

At this time, when he heard the uneducated Beiyi on the opposite side utter wild words, his face was lifted slightly, and he calmed down.

But how could Xie Yuan, who had suffered such a contempt, bear it?What's more, these people in her heart have harmed Xun Ya, killed so many people, and destroyed the house they worked so hard to build!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she was about to have an attack on the spot as she gritted her teeth!
Suddenly, I felt my right arm drop down suddenly, and when I turned my head to look, Shen Liuzhen seemed to be too frightened to stand up, holding her hand with both hands, sitting on the ground, sobbing and crying said:
"Teacher... I was scared to death. A Yuan and I were almost crushed to death. Huh...why did you come to save us..."

If Shen Liuzhen hadn't seized this opportunity, if he hadn't held his hand that was about to draw the knife tightly, Xie Yuan wouldn't even be able to tell whether he was acting or not.

Maybe... half true and half false.

Xie Yuan remembered the scene of hiding in the corner of the wall just now, the dust falling from the top of his head, and the sound of stones falling to the ground... At this time, he escaped from the sky, and the suppressed fear and despair in his heart turned up again.

...The anger in my heart was replaced by grievance and fear, and I especially wanted to cry...

Especially now that they have surrendered...
