Feather arrows were shot from the top of the city tower. The horse under Chen Yanli was startled. It looked up to the sky and roared, raising its front hooves high. Jiang Huai was thrown off the horse.

Chen Yanli looked back, his expression panicked. He couldn't control his frightened horses, and they all ran away without a trace.

Grandpa Tang, who was sitting behind Shen Qinghui, jumped down immediately when he saw Jiang Huai fell from his horse.

"Grandpa Tang..." Shen Qinghui stopped his horse and turned around to see that the city gate had been opened. A group of guards were running towards the city, holding bloody blades and stepping on the corpses of the green-clad defenders.

Shen Qinghui was shocked and heartbroken. He watched helplessly as Jiang Huai and Grandpa Tang were captured. He had no choice but to turn around and leave.

……

The light of morning light broke through the clouds, yellow sand flew up, and the crescent moon hung dimly in the sky, gradually becoming blurry.

As the horn blew, everyone inside and outside Leshan City moved.

The defenders of the city tower stuck their heads out and looked outside the city. The fog was lingering and the city was filled with gray, but they were lined up neatly.

After taking a closer look, the defender's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted loudly: "Nanliang Army, troops are approaching the city, report to the general quickly."

"The Nanliang Army is approaching the city."

The defenders shouted and ran towards Liang Mansion, alarming the whole street and making people panic for a while.

"It seems that Chen Yanli and the others have left safely, and we can leave."

Jiang Nan and Xie Yun were hiding behind the window sill of Buzhuang. When he heard her say this, he frowned deeply and responded in a low voice: "Okay! Let's leave now."

"It is absolutely impossible to open the city gate again. We can only swim through the water in the culvert to the outer city?"

"Yes."

Jiang Nan thought for a while and said distressedly: "I can't swim."

"This is indeed a bit troublesome." A hint of solemnity flashed through Xie Yun's deep eyes, "Let's hide in the culvert first!"

"it is good!"

The two disguised themselves and left the cloth village before nightfall.

The culvert group is in the east of Leshan City, far away from the urban area. The two of them walked quickly with their heads lowered. When they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, the market suddenly became noisy, and pedestrians passed by them in a hurry.

"The two armies are facing each other. General Liang wants to sacrifice his life. It is said that he will burn the emperor on the tower! Everyone is invited to come and watch the ceremony!"

"How dare he burn the emperor?"

"What kind of emperor is that? As soon as the old man died, Leshan was in chaos. I heard that the emperor and the princess were both spies. They burned it for the Nanliang Army to see."

"Let's go quickly, we won't be able to see it if it's too late!"

"My father..." Jiang Nan's expression suddenly changed and he suddenly stopped, "If they failed to escape from the city, how could the Nanliang Army dare to attack the city?"

Suddenly, so many thoughts came to her mind that even the King of Qin thought of taking the opportunity to mobilize troops to eradicate Xie Yun.

"It shouldn't happen. Liang Hao wants you to show up, right? We don't want to fall into his trap." Xie Yun looked serious.

"Whether it's a conspiracy or not, you'll know if you go and have a look."

Jiang Nan hid in the crowd and followed the flow of people. Xie Yun had no choice but to follow her and reach out to hold her hand.

On the tower, Jiang Huai and Grandpa Tang were tied up and kneeling on the altar.The sacrificial dance has finished, and Liang Haodu is sitting in a high position with an indifferent expression, looking like he is looking at a swarm of ants.

"Birth Festival!"

The wizard on the high altar gave an order, and the guards took out their sabers and approached Jiang Huai. He was so frightened that he trembled all over and cursed: "Liang Haodu, you treat me as a king. Is there anyone who can make me a king like this? Let me go." , let me go!"

When the blade fell, Jiang Huai screamed and closed his eyes. However, the pain he imagined did not come, but warm blood sprayed all around.

Jiang Huai opened his eyes in horror and saw an old man standing in front of him, covered in blood and grinning.

"Huai Wa'er... don't be afraid!"

After the grandfather finished speaking, he fell to the ground.

"Uncle..." Jiang Huai cried in tears, but unfortunately his grandfather could no longer respond to him. His body twitched slightly, and there was no movement after a moment.

"Ah! He went through the two dynasties of Northern Liang and Southern Liang. How many people risked their lives to save him. He had the mind of a child, and you killed him just like that. Liang Haodu, you deserve to die. You are going to the eighteenth level of hell. !" Jiang Huai roared like crazy, and the veins on his forehead popped out because of hatred.

"He died for you, what does it have to do with me? He is stupid and knows how to care for you as his son, but you still call him uncle until you die!" Liang Haodu sneered, "You are just a man who can act according to the wind. You villain, you accused me before you died? Aren’t you always fond of selling your daughters? Tell me where Jiang Nan is hiding, and I will spare your life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Haodu chopped it down with a gesture, and his grandfather's body was hung on the tower for display to the Nanliang Army outside the city. The bright red blood flowed down the wall, adding a touch of weirdness to the tower.

This was a provocation to the Nanliang Army, but the body of the previous prince was hung. This was ridiculous. Jiang Huai knew that Liang Haodu's targets had always been Xie Yun and Jiang Nan.

"Liang Haodu! You are right, I have always been a villain, but I am not a despicable villain like you! I am from Nanliang, and I firmly believe that the Nanliang army will destroy you guys sooner or later! "Jiang Huai looked down at the blood on the ground. The tears in his eyes were not yet dry. He stood up slowly and shouted loudly towards the crowd watching under the altar.

"I am in the enemy's camp, but my heart is in the imperial capital. No matter how incompetent I am, I cannot be a traitor! But I know that I can't go back. It is better to hang on the tower than to bend the knee and flatter me. Origin is not important, what is important is who you think you are! "

Jiang Huai spoke impassionedly, and when he saw someone coming to drag him away from the corner of his eye, he turned around and hit the guard's saber.

Blood stained the altar.

Shouts of exclamation one after another exploded in the crowd. In the corner, Jiang Nan's face turned pale, and she was tightly held in Xie Yun's arms. Her mouth and nose were covered, and endless tears poured out of her dazed eyes.

They arrived late, and by the time they got here, something bad had happened to my cousin.

"We have to go." Xie Yun paid attention to Liang Haodu's movements at the high position of the altar.

Seeing Liang Haodu walking down the altar, Xie Yun didn't care much and held Jiang Nan in his arms and walked towards the culvert.

Along the way, Jiang Nan cried silently.

"I don't have a father anymore. How could such a selfish person commit suicide? How could he? I haven't woken up yet. I'm having a nightmare, right?"

"My father-in-law's last words were meant for you. Liang Haodu must have pressed him. He didn't tell you your whereabouts. Even though his attitude is that he still loves you in his heart." Xie Yun coaxed, "When we leave Leshan City, we will definitely avenge them!"

"When I was a child, I wished he would die, but he is really dead. Why am I so uncomfortable?"

Looking at Jiang Nan with tears in her eyes, Xie Yun's heart ached, and he held her hand tightly: "The pain of losing a father is heartbreaking."

"Do you think it was Liang Haodu who was tricking me? In fact, my father and cousin are not dead at all?"

"Nan'er, just hold on, let's get out of here."

After leaving the busy city and walking in the mountains, Jiang Nan shed tears quickly. The moon in the night sky was as cold as a knife and the wind was silent.
