Chapter 195 Long live my emperor (82)

Yuchi Yan waited for a long time but received no reply, and news of the city's fall continued to come.

He wanted to go to the battle himself, but the people of Chaoge were unstable and Emperor Ning was seriously ill. Apart from him, the crown prince, no one could manage state affairs.

The enemy army was coming with great force. Not only were they equipped with sharp weapons, they were also well-trained. Tuoba Ling and Xue Chi both had their own personal soldiers and they cooperated well with each other.

With the addition of Nan Yue and Xie Huai, various tactics and strategies emerge one after another.

In just over half a year, they captured a state belonging to Chaoge.

Seeing that Chu Yu was indeed unstoppable, the Yunzhou forces surrendered under the leadership of Xie Huai.

With the addition of Yunzhou forces, the remaining two states of Chaoge were isolated and helpless.

Nan Yue has more and more people under her command, and she no longer needs to go to the battlefield in person.

Although Yuchi Yan was in Chaoge, he could send troops and generals to fight with her more than once, but he was always one step behind.

Emperor Ning had been lying in bed for a long time, holding on to his last breath and refusing to leave. I wonder if it was because he was too ashamed to face his ancestors or if he wanted to see if his most capable son could hold on to the country.

Yuchi Yan was also unwilling to admit defeat, but the atmosphere in the court became increasingly depressing and heavy, and almost everyone foresaw the inevitable future of defeat.

Some officials have even given up struggling, thinking that if they surrender after the city is broken, the new emperor will spare their lives.

The three dukes were hunched over, no longer as spirited as before; they were already old, destined to live and die with this declining dynasty...

……

Time goes by day after day.

Two years later, Nan Yue finally led his troops into the imperial city of Chaoge...

Chu Yu followed her and returned to his hometown again. He had never dreamed that it would be such a scene.

I remember that a few years ago, their family was abandoned by a marquisate, and they ridiculously took out their anger on a small county magistrate.

Now, he stood at a height that ordinary people could not reach and fought all the way back.

And all this depends on my sister.

The palace was in chaos. The maids and eunuchs packed up their valuables and fled in all directions...

"Your Highness, please go now. As long as you have the green mountains, you will never run out of firewood!"

"Yes, Your Highness. If you flee, you still have a chance to restore your country. If you stay, you will die..."

Inside the hall, two subordinates were trying to persuade him earnestly.

Yuchi Yan had an unpleasant expression on his face. He turned his head away and didn't even look at the secret passage.

"I am the crown prince of Daning, the backbone of Daning. I will not run away."

After a pause, he closed his eyes tiredly, "If you want to leave, then go ahead."

"Your Highness!" The subordinates were extremely anxious.

When Yuchi Yan opened his eyes again, his expression was extremely firm, "Change my clothes!"

The eunuch came over and carefully put on the prince's court robes for him.

Yuchi Yan took the long sword from the shelf and walked out without looking back...

Outside the palace, the prince's personal guards were waiting for him.

Even though he was doomed to fail, there were still people who followed him unwaveringly.

If it weren't for Nan Yue, Crown Prince Yan would definitely be the monarch who pacified the troubled times.

……

No matter how powerful the Imperial Guards and the Crown Prince's personal guards are, they are no match for the people brought by Nan Yue...

Chu Yu faced Yuchi Yan. He had made rapid progress in the past few years. He used to be unable to defeat several bandits, but now he could fight with Yuchi Yan for several moves.

"Chu Yu! How could Marquis Yongding raise a traitor like you!" Yuchi Yan hated him secretly.

When he mentioned his father, Chu Yu's expression changed slightly. He said, "My father's loyalty ended in such a bad outcome. Facts have proved that being a loyal minister is worse than being a traitor!"

He was not ashamed but proud of it. Yuchi Yan's eyes darkened, and he was about to stab him with his sword when he saw his weakness...

He doesn’t care whether he is Chu Yue’s younger brother or not, Chu Yu must die!

The blade and the sword collided with each other, making a harsh sound, and Yuchi Yan only felt his palm numb from the shock.

A figure came over at some point, she grabbed Chu Yu's shoulder, pulled him back, and raised her sword...

There was a flash of silver light before his eyes, and the sharp tip of the knife was about to cut his throat. Yuchi Yan leaned back and quickly dodged.

Then came a series of attacks. Yuchi Yan's palms were still numb, so he could only hold the hilt tightly and passively block. "Sister!"

He heard Chu Yu's excited voice and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar face of the person who came.

Nan Yue was dressed in a scarlet men's suit, with an ink-black headband embroidered with gold thread passing through her forehead, her hairband fluttering, and she looked full of energy and vigor.

"Yue Niang..." Yuchi Yan didn't want to fight with her.

Maybe it was because of the nervous response or something else, but Yuchi Yan's heart was beating very fast.

She was reluctant to reply, unwilling to be the queen, and determined to fight him to the end.

He thought he would hate her...

After all, as the honorable prince, he had been pampered for too long, and she was the first one who was so disrespectful to him and seriously injured him.

But when he saw her today, he realized that there was no hatred in his heart.

Nan Yue didn't care how complicated his mood was.

Yuchi Yan didn't know when she became so skilled in martial arts. He was distracted and got injured by her sword...

The sword fell to the ground.

Yuchi Yan half-knelt down, with a sharp and cold blade on his neck.

He looked up at her, trying to see a hint of old affection in her eyes, but there was none.

Nan Yue was facing the light with an indifferent expression.

Yuchi Yan raised his hand with pain and grabbed her skirt, "Why?"

He doesn't understand.

I don't understand why she no longer has any feelings for him.

Now, he admits he regrets it.

I regretted not keeping her that day, and regretted not sending Chu Rui.

If they had all stayed, she wouldn't have stood against him...

He would be able to take back the territory of Daning, she would be his queen, and Chu Yu would be a powerful general under his command.

Things would not have reached the point where they are now irreversible.

Failures again and again shattered Yuchi Yan's pride and finally made him stop being self-righteous.

But it's too late...

"Why what?" The winner was decided, and Chu Yu walked to Nan Yue's side.

Yuchi Yan's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were bloodshot. There was a question he still didn't understand, "Yue Niang, why don't you want the position of queen I gave you? Even if Chu Yu ascended the throne, you are only the eldest princess! How can you be honored as the mother of a country? Do you still hate me?"

Since Yue Niang has ambitions, isn't the queen noble? Why doesn't she want it?
He also gave her the engagement handkerchief, hoping that she would remember their old love.

"Queen?"

Chu Yu seemed to have heard a joke. He sneered, "What's the queen?"

He raised his chin, looking extremely proud, and said word by word: "If my sister wants to be, she must be the most honorable person in the world!"

Yuchi Yan's pupils trembled and his mind was shocked for a moment.

He didn't expect to get such an answer.

To be fair, if he were Chu Yu, he would not be willing to give up the throne to her, even if she was his closest relative.

What's more...

Chu Yue is a woman!

He was able to give her the position of queen because he particularly liked her.

Nan Yue finally spoke up, "Yuchi Yan, I don't hate you. We no longer owe each other anything."

Yuchi Yan's face turned pale. He would rather she hated him than owe him nothing.

There was no emotion in Nan Yue's eyes. She said calmly, "There can only be one winner between us."

In fact, although the target of this world is proud and conceited, he did not do anything too excessive to her. Perhaps it was too late. After all, she knew Gou Si's routine well.

If he was not the crown prince, Nan Yue might have spared him, but unfortunately they were in conflict and were destined to kill him.
