Nagato has such a slim waist

Chapter 509 Never die in peace
The pile of firewood was set up, and Li Sangruo and Yuan Shuo were tied up with their hands cut behind their backs, one on the left and the other on the right, like two embarrassed rice dumplings, one big and one small.

Li Zongxun took the torch from the soldier and slowly walked to the battlement to look down.

"Pei Madang, be careful. I will give you a quarter of an hour to think about it! After a quarter of an hour, the torch will burn out, and that will be the end."

Li Zongxun did not tell Pei Madang's life experience in front of the soldiers of the two armies, and he did not dare to open up the relationship between Li Sangruo and him...

In front of so many people, it was impossible for Pei Ran to admit his identity as a remnant of the Xie family.

Once he is recognized as the son of Xie Xian, his status in the Jin Dynasty will be affected. At least, he will no longer be as legitimate as the descendant of the founding hero Pei family.

This is a secret that Pei Madang will keep even to the death.

Therefore, he knew that Pei Madang would not recognize his ancestor and return to his clan now, let alone recognize his sister in front of the soldiers of the two armies.

What he was betting on was Pei Ran's intolerance and reluctance to give up...

On the tower, the wind became even stronger.

The torch burned brighter and brighter, as if it might go out at any moment.

Under the city tower, the soldiers held sharp swords and stood ready, waiting for the commander's order.

Silent, tense.

The two sides faced each other, staring at each other like wild beasts.
It seems that they are all looking for the enemy to reveal even a slight flaw...

As if it was only a moment, or as if a long winter had passed, Pei Man's hand slowly pulled out the Piyong Sword and pointed to the sky with force.

"Siege!"

He didn't wait for Li Zongxun for a quarter of an hour, and didn't even take a second look at Li Sangruo and Yuan Shuo who were tied to the pile of firewood. He rushed over with an expressionless face and a voice as cold as ice.

The Beiyong army was inspired by him and rushed forward with loud shouts. The rhythm of the siege that had been disrupted once again started to flow again. Also because of Li Zongxun's conscience, the offensive of the soldiers became more fierce and they took the city. My thoughts are also more urgent.

"Wow--"

The loud cry of a child pierced the sky and fell on the ears of both sides in the fierce battle.

Won Seok cried.

This young child, who is only a few years old, has been the emperor for two years and learned countless ways to be a king, but he has not lived a comfortable life for a day, and he never thought that he would be tied to the tower and burned alive...

He looked at Li Zongxun, who was approaching with a torch, and cried loudly, lamenting his fate.

Primal, hysterical cries seemed to tear through the chest, pupils dilated with fear.

"King Yonghuai, please save me... I will not be the emperor, I will never be the emperor again... King Yonghuai, please save me..."

Li Zongxun laughed angrily.

"Shut up! No one can save you!"

"You are no longer the emperor. If you yell again, I will burn you to death first."

Yuan Shuo closed his mouth tightly, leaving only two lines of tears flowing down uncontrollably...

Li Zongxun smiled coldly, stepped past Yuan Shuo, and walked towards Li Sangruo.

"If the older one has to take care of the younger one, it's better for you to die first."

Li Zongxun was gambling and gaming.

He didn't believe that Pei Ran really didn't care about his family ties.

It’s just that Pei Madang is cunning and will not compromise easily unless he is forced into a desperate situation...

"No... don't come over here. Don't come over here!" Li Sangruo looked at the torch held high in his hand. His clothes were soaked in tung oil and stuck tightly to his skin. He was shivering like a sieved chaff.

Jealous.

Tears fell.

Snot bubbles spurted out.

With disheveled hair and no regard for manners, she begged loudly for mercy, wishing she could kneel down in front of Li Zongxun.

"Father, what I said before was all unintentional. I am the daughter you raised. I respect you and listen to you. I am your daughter...Father, dad..."

Li Zongxun said nothing.

Holding a torch, he gets closer and closer.

The fear in Li Sangruo's eyes was magnified to the extreme.

"I don't want to be burned to death. Father, for the sake of our father and daughter... you, please give me a knife. Please... give me a knife."

She would rather kill him with a knife than be burned alive on this tower in front of Pei Madang.

She didn't know how painful it was to be burned to death.

But when the Xingqing Palace caught fire and the palace residents were burned to death, she could still vividly remember the horrific appearance of the palace residents who were curled up and charred, like river shrimps.

Li Zongxun's eyes were cold.

"You don't need to beg me, you should beg him, your good brother..."

"No, he is not, neither am I... I am your daughter, father..."

Li Sangruo's words were incoherent, and her brain was confused by the rising blood. Her despair on the verge of death made her tremble, and her two rows of teeth made a strange and terrifying sound.

"Father, Dad..."

"Father..."

Li Zongxun smiled coldly, glanced at the bottom of the tower with his peripheral vision, and shouted loudly.

"Pei Ran, are you really going to put her life at risk?"

Got no response.

Li Zongxun laughed and roared like crazy.

"I'll count to three. If you don't make the Beiyong army put down their weapons, I will light a fire and burn her to death!"

Feng Yun stared at Pei Ran.

The midday sun shone slantly on Pei Madang's cold armor, reflecting the dazzling light. His cloak hunted in the cold wind, making a fluttering sound, which made the chill in the air even heavier.

She paused when she saw Pei Madang's sword-wielding hand.

It was this weak flaw that caused him to be shot by flying arrows on the city wall...

The feather arrow grazed his arm and flew out, leaving a trail of blood.

Feng Yun opened his eyes wide, opened and closed his mouth, and stood silently.

"one!"

"two!"

On the city tower, Li Zongxun raised the torch high.

It was only three feet away from Li Sangruo's clothes.

Under the city tower, the Beiyong Army's offensive became more fierce.

Pei Madang, one man and one horse, has rushed to the city gate.

A group of soldiers were carrying wooden sticks and attacking the city gate vigorously. However, the city gate was strong, and there were loud "bang" sounds one after another, but it did not move at all.

Li Zongxun shouted: "Three!"

"Ah...don't...father..."

Li Sangruo's scream echoed through the sky. It was a shrill, terrifying cry that made Feng Yun's heart tremble.

Li Sanruo.

How are you feeling at this moment?

Those who died in your hands also screamed, cried, and begged like this, but you never gave them a glimmer of life...

Today, she is the one to blame.

"what!"

A scream came from the tower.

It was Li Sangruo's voice.

Feng Yun looked over quietly.

No fire ignited from Li Sangruo's body, but Li Zongxun and the torch in his hand fell down together.

Almost at the same time, the closed city gate opened from the inside amid the shouts of everyone.

A familiar voice came from the tower.

"We sincerely welcome King Yonghuai to the city. Surrender without killing!"

Tang Shaogong?
Feng Yun was shocked and looked up.

There is a storm in his eyes.
-
Tang Shaogong was wearing the armor of an ordinary soldier with a stern face. He walked up to Li Sangruo, silently took her off the firewood pile, and signaled to the guards beside him.

"Bring Prince Runan down."

Li Sangruo could hardly believe his eyes.

"Uncle Shao Gong, you...you're not dead?"

Tang Shaogong glanced at Li Zongxun, who was killed by a knife, and said coldly: "He's alive."

Li Sangruo was so excited that his whole body was trembling.

"He's dead. You're not dead."

"Li Zongxun is dead, really dead."

She didn't dare to look at Li Zongxun's body.

That person, that face, was too powerful for her, and she was so frightened that she felt like she was going to lose her breath even if she took one more look at him.

"Uncle Shao Gong, what is going on here? How could it be? Why did you suddenly appear, and these people, how could they... suddenly betray my father?"

Tang Shaogong pursed his lips and said nothing.

At this moment, the situation on the tower has completely changed.

As soon as Li Zongxun died, the remaining Yecheng garrison, which had little resistance, completely collapsed and was taken over by the soldiers brought by Tang Shaogong.

Tang Shaogong glanced at the general who was collecting weapons and said calmly: "Liao Fang is my brother. That day, I faked my death and became invisible, hiding in his army."

Liao Fang was the left general who was sent to Longqingmen by Li Zongxun that day to encircle and suppress Tang Shaogong and right general Ding Cheng.

He brought back a head that day and reported to Li Zongxun that Tang Shaogong had committed suicide.

The man's head and face were swollen and scarred. Li Sangruo was so frightened that he fainted on the spot, believing it to be true without taking a closer look...

It turned out to be the case.

That's it!
How could a man as cunning as Tang Shaogong, with far-reaching plans, commit suicide?

It was she who was so stupid.

Li Sangruo suddenly stared at Li Zongxun.

The man lying in a pool of blood was bloated and fat. His hands were still in the position of grabbing the torch. A pair of chaotic old eyes were as wide as copper bells and they could not close until they died.

Maybe he didn't know what happened until he died, right?

Li Sangruo sneered suddenly.

One sound, another sound.

Finally laughed to tears.

"Father, you often call me stupid. Tell me, who is more stupid between us? You have been so smart all your life, why did you let Uncle Shao Gong deceive you again? How come you have fallen into the hands of one person in your life? How pitiful. You will never die with your eyes in peace.”

The resentment in the words made Tang Shaogong frown.

Li Sangruo looked at him again and stared at him, "Uncle Gong, I almost died with my eyes closed. I didn't know before that you were using me, and you have been using me to this day."

Tang Shaogong frowned, "What does the Queen Mother mean by this?"

Li Sangruo snorted coldly, "If you were willing, you would have had a thousand or ten thousand chances to save me, but you didn't take action... You wait for today, wait for me to be tied to the tower by Li Zongxun, wait for him to hold up the torch, You could burn me to death at any time, and you just showed up..."

Tang Shaogong: "Queen Mother, you are still alive."

Li Sangruo closed his eyes, not daring to recall the fear that had made his liver and gallbladder tremble just now.

"You calculated the opportunity to take advantage of Li Zongxun's unpreparedness and open the city gate for the Beiyong Army. Did you know..."

We can know how many sutras she has recited, how many wishes she has made, and how many tears she has shed since his "death".

Li Sangruo's throat tightened and he choked with laughter, "Uncle Young Master Gong, you are the coldest, most ruthless and cruelest person I have ever seen in the world."

Tang Shaogong was silent for a moment.

“Those who achieve great things don’t stick to trivial matters.”

Li Sangruo shook his head and looked at his calm face.

"So, am I Pei Madang's sister?"

Tang Shaogong did not answer, but grabbed her wrist and dragged Li Sangruo down the steps beside the horse path. When he reached the base of the city wall, he looked at her solemnly.

"You better be."

Li Sangruo was startled, "You mean..."

Tang Shaogong avoided her gaze and said coldly.

"Li Zongxun is dead, and no one in the world knows whose daughter you are."

Li Sangruo took a step back and looked at him dullly.

"I don't understand……"

Tang Shaogong didn't seem to want to say more, glanced at her, turned around and left.

"Uncle Young Master..." Li Sangruo called him.

Tang Shaogong stopped.

He didn't look back and his voice was cold.

"One more word of advice to the Queen Mother, trouble comes from the mouth. Unless Pei Madang is willing to recognize you, otherwise, everything about your life will be rotten in my belly. Otherwise, no one can save you."

Before Li Sangruo could figure out what he meant, Tang Shaogong strode over and ordered the guards.

"Capture the Queen Mother Mingde and hand her over to King Yonghuai."

Feng Yun: Yecheng is destroyed, but she is not destroyed yet? This unscientific. You don’t want me to do it myself, do you?

Li Sangruo: No, no, no, I’ll jump off the building myself.
