I practice tea art in Nvzun World

Chapter 204
They were forcibly conscripted by the government, and only had two meals a day,
"Let go, let me go..." Li Lingwan picked up the stone and threw it into the pile of stones. Someone would take the pile of stones away and send them to the city wall.
She tied her coat around her waist without taking a break, and continued to work with the small stone, surrounded by patrolling officials, how could everyone dare to stop,
I heard from the above that a simple city wall must be erected in one day to resist the horses of the rebels. Many families in the imperial city sneaked to the northern state capital at midnight. Only the lowest-level civilians and beggars were heard , when preparing to escape, there is no hurry,

He was driven here by the imperial guards to build the city wall.

Li Lingwan was born noble, and was once the treasure in the palm of the Marquis Jing Yuan, but now his family is ruined and no one helps him.
In order to take care of the sisters in the organization, she took the initiative to do menial jobs, like ordinary slaves, carrying stones, carrying wooden stakes, all of which were tiring physical work.

Sometimes, she feels that life is like a dream, and she has no idea what she will face in the next moment, whether it is life or death, whether it is in heaven or hell,

However, at least she was not alone, someone accompanied her, someone convinced her, and she saw what she wanted.

On the imperial city, an old woman with frosted temples looked at the dark clouds in the distance and couldn't help sighing. Her hands rested on the city wall, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Master..."

Chu Changgu followed behind the old woman, looking into the distance along her line of sight, her mind was full of distracting thoughts, her daughter Chu Hanyan might be among the rebels, might have died in Luanzhou,
Compared with a year ago, Chu Changgu was also much older and haggard. Although he was dressed in fine clothes, his face was more full of pain after being weathered.

"Changgu, if you want to go, go, I can tell..." Sima Annan said softly, she saw Chu Changgu's rebellious heart,
Her unmarried son-in-law was snatched away by the empress and made Concubine Shu. Because of this, her daughter Chu Hanyan offended the empress and was sent to the front line of the corpse disaster.

I heard that Concubine Shu had died tragically in the harem.

The life that was supposed to be muddling along is directly fragmented. If you say you don't hate it, it's impossible.

Now that Xiao Ziyun took over the rebellion, Chu Zhanggu saw the hope of revenge and reunion, her demeanor was no match for Sima Annan.

"I can't go..." Chu Changgu shook his head.

"You have hatred in your heart..."

"Even if I have hatred in my heart, I can't let tens of millions of people suffer because of my personal feelings before the corpse disaster is over. That will only be due to internal friction for no reason. The emperor is not benevolent, I can't be unrighteous... ..."

"Changgu, you've grown... Your mind has become wider." Sima Annan showed a rare old smile,
Although Chu Changgu was not her most talented disciple, he was the one she cared about the most.

Sima Annan's daughter, together with the Zhennan army, was destroyed by Zhao Mingyue and died tragically in the frontier.
She also has hatred in her heart. She has gone through ups and downs in her old age, but the way of heaven is vicissitudes. She doesn't have much nostalgia for this world, and she looks down on many things.
After finishing the last thing she should do, she should go.

It's a pity that the eternal foundation left by their ancestors was eventually destroyed in the hands of their generation.

"Master, if it were you, how likely are you to subdue that Xiao Ziyun..."

Chu Changgu hesitated and asked slowly,

Capture the thief first, capture the king, maybe Sima Annan can control Xiao Ziyun, and the army of more than 20 people will return to the empress's hands, and there may be a chance to survive.

"Xiao Ziyun... What I am worried about is not Xiao Ziyun, but the disaster of corpses. There is no strong man in the fairyland in Daliang, and there is no way to solve the disaster of corpses. You see the 20 rebels, but I see the rebels behind Tens of millions of corpses have subdued Xiao Ziyun, so what can..."

The old woman sighed deeply.

Time is running out, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, the rebels will push to the imperial city,

Some hole cards Sima Annan had prepared should be used. Unfortunately, they were not used against the corpses, but against his own human race.

"General Sima, Taifu Chu." The second princess Li Hongshuang walked up the tower and saluted the two respectful people.

"Second Highness..." The old woman nodded as a return gift.

"Second Highness, does Your Majesty want me to lead the army to subdue the rebels again?" Sima Annan saw Li Hongshuang coming here, and understood what the Empress meant.
"Yes... this matter can only be done by the highly respected General Sima. The Queen Mother attaches great importance to this matter, so she sent me to communicate with General Sima. When life is in danger, I also ask General Sima to take on this task."

"I'm old, and I can't even resist the disaster of corpses. Anyway, leave this war to me, the old woman. I will try my best to hold Xiao Ziyun back..."

Sima Annan understood that there was no one available for the empress, and almost all the families that should defect had defected, and Xiao Ziyun's army was almost approaching the city, so the empress had no choice but to reuse her as a veteran.

Sima Annan put on his shirt, organized an army, and waited for Xiao Ziyun's arrival.

On the other hand, Li Zhiqing released the prisoners in the prison, gave them the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, and absorbed them into the army.

She sorted out all the methods of increasing troops that she could think of, but it was still too late in time.

She discussed the battle plan with Sima Annan and others. Around the imperial city, there was a formation set up by the late emperor.

Monsters can't get in.
After some modification, maybe it can be used by people.

There is also the specific staffing. This time, she was very careful, and the generals she sent were all confidantes.
When it came time to fight, she was fortunate enough to calm down. Taking advantage of the darkness, she sent someone to bring a sedan chair with Zhao Wuyou's body, and once again wandered around the royal garden,
Maybe this is the last time,

"Magnolia flower, magnolia flower, if you don't bloom, I don't want you to bloom. My Concubine Shu can't see it anymore. What use is there for you? I want someone to pull you out..."

"No, no, maybe Concubine Shu's soul is still wandering in the harem, maybe she is by my side, she can still see flowers blooming."

"Concubine Shu, do you think I should pull out that flower? In case I lose, I don't want others to occupy my garden and admire my magnolia flowers..."

A murmuring sound came from the sedan chair, and the palace men glanced at each other, feeling that something was getting worse and worse about Her Majesty the Empress.
Concubine Shu is dead, and His Majesty is still leading him around, talking to him like a living person, neither doing funerals nor mourning,
Your Majesty drives away the servants every day, and lives in Qiande Palace by himself, so he is sleeping with Concubine Shu's corpse, right?

Treating the dead as if they were alive makes people feel eerie and weird. Is this still their Majesty?

Maybe His Majesty couldn't bear the blow of Concubine Shu's death and the Xiao family's rebellion, and he was already crazy.
