Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1174 Follow the will of Heaven
At this moment, no matter if they had already seen him on the altar, or had only heard of his name but never seen him, or were the completely ignorant people under the altar, everyone subconsciously held their breath, widened their eyes, and looked at this person who was shining in bright armor, as if he was condensed from the sun.

That brilliant figure seemed more dazzling than the sun!
he is the one--

Before the name could take shape in everyone's mind, there was another rumbling sound of horse hooves that shattered everyone's thoughts. In the cloud of dust raised by the man riding his horse, a team of heavily armored cavalry and a large group of infantry rushed out of the Upper East Gate!
Thousands of people came rushing over, the earth shook again, and the people on the land became panicked again.

However, they had already lost the courage to resist, and had even thrown away their swords. How could they still have room for resistance? All they could do was watch in horror as the thousands of wolf-like and tiger-like troops pounced towards them, just like a curled-up rabbit watching a tiger with sharp fangs and claws pounce on it.

Fortunately, the tiger did not harm them.

After getting closer, this large group of people split into two groups again like the people brought by Shang Ruyi, forming a larger circle that surrounded the entire altar. This time, even if they had wings, they could not fly out.

The team of heavily armored cavalry cleared the way in the middle and galloped all the way to the bottom of the altar.

The high-spirited general, wearing bright armor, held the reins in one hand and rode his horse to the foot of the altar before stopping. Then he jumped off the horse swiftly. Following closely behind him were several personal guards who got off the horse in unison with him, and followed him, stepping onto the altar step by step.

When he took his last step onto the highest level of the altar, Pei Xingyuan, whose heart was already beating like thunder and whose face was flushed with excitement, rushed up impatiently and almost bumped into him, but stopped abruptly the next moment and said excitedly: "Feng--" He stopped immediately and took a deep breath before finishing his words, finally calming himself down a little. Then he took a step back, straightened his clothes and kowtowed to him.

"Meet His Highness King Qin!"

For a moment, there was a burst of gasps all around the altar.

At this moment, everyone was finally certain that the man dressed in bright armor, like a god coming to the world, was none other than the husband of the majestic Princess Qin, the invincible General Tiance of the Great Sheng Dynasty - Prince Qin, Yuwen Ye!
Yuwen Ye walked up to him, put his hand on his shoulder and squeezed it hard.

"You, have worked hard."

These few words could not express the care in each other's hearts during these days of separation, and all the thrilling and difficult things Pei Xingyuan had experienced, but he still looked up, smiling brightly in the sunlight: "It's my job."

Yuwen Ye then reached out and grabbed his shoulders: "Get up."

Pei Xingyuan immediately stood up and calmly retreated behind him, following his gaze and looking forward.

However, the first person he saw was Liang Youying, who had a complicated expression but never let go of the sharp knife in his hand, and his eyes were gentle with a hint of comfort. After their eyes met, Liang Youying did not express anything immediately, but no reaction was the best reaction.

The first person Yuwen Ye looked at was Shang Ruyi.

Moreover, his brows were furrowed and his eyes were stern.

Facing such a sharp gaze as a knife, Shang Ruyi seemed to know what he meant, but he did not retreat out of guilt. Instead, he curled the corners of his lips, and that smile had a certain - shameless meaning.

Yuwen Ye glared at her: Just wait for me to settle the score with you!
Then, his eyes finally fell on the final goal of this journey, which had already been achieved.

He said, "Mr. Liang."

Liang Shide had been holding his breath, but it was not because he was concentrating. Instead, he was unable to breathe the moment he saw Yuwen Ye's figure appear. His cheeks and eyes were red from holding his breath. Until he heard Yuwen Ye's deep and rich voice, that voice was like an invisible heavy punch hitting his chest, which finally made his heart start beating again and his breathing become heavier.

Yuwen Ye said, "I have heard of Lord Liang's great name for a long time, but I have never been able to meet him. Today I finally get to see him."

"..."

Liang Shide opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but facing this person who had already cut off all his retreat routes and even appeared in front of him with a calm and nonchalant manner, he opened his mouth and said something that made him regret for the rest of his life.

"Luoyang..."

Hearing these two words, everyone looked at him, and the vigilance and alertness in their eyes turned into pity and lament.

Everyone could see his madness. In the years since he had Luoyang, he had never left here. His entire mind, and even his life, seemed to be firmly tied to this prosperous and wealthy capital. Even now, when he was about to die, he still wanted Luoyang to be buried with him.

Looking at him like this, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but recall a story from the distant Western Regions that her father, who had traveled all over the world and was knowledgeable, told her when she was a child. Legend has it that there is a monster in the world who likes to attack city-states and kill civilians just to collect gold, silver and jewelry. After getting the treasures, it puts them in its own nest and guards these treasures for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, reluctant to leave. There was a warrior who went through untold hardships to find the monster's nest and killed this scourge that harmed the world, but when the warrior saw the treasures in the monster's nest, he became greedy and forgot his roots, lingered there, and gradually lost his reason and self. Fangs and scales grew from his flesh and blood, and he turned into another monster, lingering on the nest in the same posture, guarding the treasures and waiting for the next warrior.

Liang Shide is like such a monster and such a brave man.

Yuwen Ye's eyes were filled with one part of pity and nine parts of indifference. He said calmly, "The explosives you had people place at those city gates have all been—"

As he spoke, he turned and looked sideways. A tall figure was following behind him. Only at this moment did he take a step forward and reveal his figure.

Liang Youying immediately opened his eyes wide.

The person who came was none other than Jiang Wei, who was traveling with her and Pei Xingyuan!

As soon as she saw him, Liang Youying's originally hesitant heart suddenly calmed down, and she immediately understood that Yuwen Ye must have met Jiang Wei, who was trying to stop Liang Shide, after entering Luoyang City. At this moment, they had the same goal, so they came together, and Jiang Wei nodded at her gently. Liang Shide, who saw this scene, immediately understood: "You are - Jiang Wei?"

Jiang Wei said: "That's right."

Yuwen Ye said: "He stopped your people."

This sentence was understated, but it really stabbed Liang Shide's heart. Although it was already full of holes, he gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his heart and said: "The Hui'an Gate--"

Yuwen Ye said: "Of course we broke through it."

It was another casual remark, and another bloody knife.

Shang Ruyi, who had been silent all the time, glanced at Yuwen Ye at this time - of course she heard that when he said "we", he intentionally concealed Yuwen Cheng who was with him, and she couldn't help but mutter in her heart: It's really true that the officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps.

Yu Wenye, who said this, seemed to realize something. He subconsciously looked at Shang Ruyi. Seeing her eyes rolling around, she glared at him again.

Shang Ruyi turned his face away.

Yuwen Ye then continued, "You don't have to pin your hopes on the people you left in the Purple Palace. The 20,000 troops I left behind have now occupied the entire Luoyang City. Not only the Purple Palace, but also a few city gates. All the checkpoints and important roads are already in my hands."

"..."

"Your soldiers are so hungry that they can't even lift their swords."

At this point, he paused and said, "Mr. Liang, just follow the will of heaven."

Liang Shide's breath was choked again.

Just now, the Princess of Qin told him to "go with the flow", but now the Prince of Qin told him to "follow Heaven's will". The change of just one word was like a boulder transformed by ruthless fate, pressing heavily on his head, just like now, making him unable to raise his head.

Yes, there had been famine in Luoyang City for several months. In preparation for today's ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, he distributed the remaining food to the soldiers who followed him out of the city, so that he could have a majestic and solemn ceremony. The others had already run out of food.

He was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "Do I have any choice?"

Yuwen Ye said: "Of course."

"..."

"You made another bad choice."

"..."

"But this mistake will not have much impact on us."

This sentence is undoubtedly a heart-breaking statement.

Indeed, Liang Shide could still choose to fight to the bitter end, but in the current situation, he no longer had the ability to command the support of everyone, whether inside or outside the city. Even his own life was in the control of his own daughter. Even if he rose up to resist, it would only add another piece of news of patricide to the world.

This time, he fell into a longer silence, and everyone subconsciously held their breath.

They naturally understood that Liang Shide really had no other choice, but they were still worried that he would do something shocking at the last moment.

But, no.

Everyone only heard Liang Shide let out a long sigh, then raised his hand and held Liang Youying's hand. Just as she was about to struggle, she heard Liang Shide's hoarse voice saying, "Don't do this, I won't - even if you hate me, it's better to let others kill me than to kill me yourself."

Liang Youying frowned.

She was a little hesitant, but when she saw Jiang Wei and Pei Xingyuan both nodded at her silently, she finally sighed and slowly lowered her arms.

However, with so many twists and turns of thoughts in my mind, I didn't pay attention for a moment and suddenly my hands were empty.

Liang Shide took the dagger from her hand!

Liang Youying was shocked: "You——"
