System, help me be an empress

Chapter 13
into the night.

The stars are scattered, and everything is silent.

Twilight gradually enveloped the earth, and the bright moon covered the world with gentle brilliance.

Suddenly there was a lot of movement in the yard. Through the paper window, Xu Youxi could easily see that the guards in charge of night watch at the door fell down one after another.

"who?"

Xu Youxi noticed the change of the situation almost instantly, and quickly locked the door from the inside to the outside, and at the same time pushed the table not far away to the door, trying to block the people outside.

The next second, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Youxi simply estimated that there were at least five to six adult men standing outside the door.

No, I'm afraid I have to climb the window!
However, when Xu Youxi pushed open the window, the door was violently smashed open, and a group of strong men in black with swords rushed into the small room of tens of square meters in an instant.

Xu Youxi, who was about to jump out of the window, looked depressedly at the strong man in black clothes who had been guarding outside the window for an unknown amount of time.

"Hero, speak well!" Xu Youxi smiled and kept calm, while slowly backing away until her entire back was pressed against the wall. It seemed that only this way could give her a sense of security.

Xu Youxi took the opportunity to glance at his system tasks, and sure enough, the progress bar started to go away again.

[Save Jingzhou: 46/100]

"Jaizi, come here and see if it's Princess Tianyou herself?" Jiang Yu, the leading man in black, spoke. His square face was covered with old scars, and his eyes were full of cruelty and hostility.

"Yes. Even if my younger brother dies, he will still remember this face!" Yazi was wearing the clothes of an ordinary servant, and he was also staring at Xu Youxi with hatred on his face.

Jiang Yu sneered coldly: "I think Princess Tianyou, who is rumored to be very clever, is nothing more than that, arrest her!"

Xu Youxi looked vigilantly at the group of people surrounding him, trying to win a chance: "Hero, can we talk about it if we have something to say? Since you know who I am, are you seeking money or power? We can sit down and have a good talk, and there will definitely be a solution!"

"Talk? The children of beasts deserve me to waste time!" At this moment, Xu Youxi had two sharp knives on his neck, and the blades were still emitting a cold light.

Xu Youxi looked at the blade resentfully, um, luckily it wasn't rusted, even if the skin was accidentally scratched, the probability of getting 'tetanus' should not be high.

"Hero, don't get excited. Speaking of which, I am a victim of that dog emperor just like you."

Jiang Yu had long been blinded by hatred, and at this moment she didn't want to hear Xu Youxi's words at all, so she ordered the people next to her coldly: "Tie her up and take her away, move quickly, and be careful that they will come to rescue the soldiers later."

The summer is probably coming to an end, and the night wind has begun to feel a bit of autumn coolness.

The dilapidated carriage was dragged forward desperately by the horses. Xu Youxi, who was kidnapped on the carriage, was a terrible crime. Not only did he have to endure the bumps of the road, but his ears could not block the unpleasant noises from the carriage.

I don't know how long time passed, but the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down.

Jiang Yu rudely pulled Xu Youxi out of the carriage, and at the same time put a knife on her neck, her eyes were full of fierceness: "Your old man is hiding in the capital and dare not come out, so please open your eyes!" Take a good look with your eyes for him. Look at how the hundreds of thousands of people in Jingzhou City died miserably because of him!"

Although Xu Youxi was tied with a rope, the rag on his mouth had already been taken off.

The moon in the night is round and bright, illuminating everything on the earth clearly.On average, every two people in black carry one box, and the transported things are clearly marked with "forbidden" symbols.

Black powder.

Can't go wrong!

"What are they moving!" Xu Youxi suddenly shouted, his eyes filled with disbelief, "Crazy! Crazy!"

"Hahaha." The man in black laughed, seemingly very satisfied with Xu Youxi's expression, "Look, how beautiful the weather is today, this will be the most subversive day in history!"

Yes, this is the upper reaches of the entire Jingzhou City, and also the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River water source. There are still three dams built in the early years of the Qian Dynasty.

Xu Youxi yelled: "Jiang Yu, do you know what the consequences of blowing up the Jingzhou dam will be? Don't you have your relatives in Jingzhou? Don't you have brothers and sisters! Don't you have any respect for you?" Ordinary people who have helped out before!"

"It seems that Princess Tianyou doesn't want to pretend anymore. Now that you know who I am, you naturally know how my whole family died!" Jiang Yu laughed wildly, his face full of revenge, "There are dozens of people in my Jiang family. Ah, from my 70-year-old grandmother to my younger sister who was just born less than ten months old, they all died just because of that bastard! Now you know how to feel sorry for the people of Jingzhou? My parents, my whole family will not Are you innocent!"

Xu Youxi didn't answer, she knew very well that no matter what she said at this time, it would only severely irritate the other party.

"Yes, you want to say that you are different from that beast. The beast lives in the imperial city, listens to Ajiu's flattery every day, and eats delicacies from mountains and seas. You are a woman who has just grown up, but you came to Jingzhou alone to deal with plagues and floods. In the world How could there be such a good thing? Why has he been a beast for decades, but now he can be called a Mingjun because of a few insignificant things of yours? He deserves to die!"

"Didn't you, Princess Tianyou, come to deal with the floods! You have taken care of me, but I, Jiang Yu, are not as good as you wish. Since the people of Jingzhou believe in you, let them all die!"

"Jiang Yu, you are hopeless!" Xu Youxi said coldly.

"Rescue? I don't care, you wait to see the retribution of your Xu family with your own eyes!"

Xu Youxi seemed to have fallen silent, but she was quietly observing the task progress bar. Well, the task bar was almost full at last.

[Save Jingzhou: 85/100]

As time passed by every minute and every second, a fire finally lit up downstream.

"It seems that your rescue is here." Jiang Yu was not annoyed at all, as if everything was under control.

"Jiang Thief, please let go of Your Royal Highness." Rong Yingran, the magistrate of Tong'an County in Jingzhou, came to rescue with a team of nearly [-] people. Among these people were soldiers from Jingzhou, and some came spontaneously because they were grateful for the goodness of the princess. Ordinary people.

"Leave me alone, Jiang Yu's people are going to blow up the dam, stop them!" Xu Youxi yelled in Rong Yingran's direction.

"Rong Yingran, we are old acquaintances. Although we can't be friends, I still admire you. Today I want to put this choice in front of you, and I want to see, what is your loyalty? You are still the people of Liming! Look, if you let your soldiers move again, I will kill your princess immediately! The choice between the people of Jingzhou and the life of the princess is up to you."

Rong Yingran watched Xu Youxi's hard-working performance, and touched his nose uncomfortably, if he didn't cooperate with His Highness to perform at this time.It is estimated that after this matter is over, I am afraid that I will be beaten to death, so I can only hold back my drowsiness and continue to show off my acting skills: "Jiang thief, since you know how I will choose, why do you test me!"

Xu Youxi is neither humble nor overbearing: "Rong Yingran, I don't need you to make any boring choices. Since I am the king and you are the minister, then I order you to take everyone to stop these rebels now, immediately, immediately." Keep carrying the gunpowder!"

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

"The life of me, Xu Youxi, can exchange the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Jingzhou City. That's really valuable!" Xu Youxi grabbed the knife in Jiang Yu's hand and was about to slash at his neck. Rong Yingran, who was in the play, was shocked and broke into a cold sweat.

As a result, before he could say a few words, he found that the people around him were already weeping.

"Brothers, we can't let down the princess' painstaking efforts, brothers, rush forward and swear to protect Jingzhou City!"

???

Batch after batch of common people and soldiers of Jingzhou City cried and knelt down, then stood up wiping their tears.

The choking and shouting sound seemed earth-shattering.

　I saved the manuscript to the second volume and became the throne. When I first posted it, the order was all messed up. I was so scared that I changed it quickly.
　　There are no victims, so I don't think I need to apologize T^T
