Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 744 The child’s father is here

Yu Qinghuan closed her eyes, and there was a mess in the back of her mind. She was not ashamed of this failure. After all, she was not a god and could not be foolproof.

She was just conflicted about whether she should end herself before being used to threaten the soldiers who returned to Yancheng.

She found countless reasons to convince herself to die, but she still lacked the courage to bite the special/poison hidden in her teeth.

Her identity as a mother made her selfish and cowardly. For the sake of her children, she really couldn't be cruel to herself.

At the end, Yu Qinghuan muttered silently in her heart: Son, I believe in your father, and you believe in him with me, okay?
"No need to bet, I will definitely win." Yu Qinghuan swallowed all the bitterness and said this confidently.

"I hope so." Wu Ti whispered.

The two of them never had any conversation again until the towering walls of Guiyan City appeared in everyone's sight.

In front of hundreds of thousands of Northern Qi's cavalry, this ancient brick and stone barrier looked like an old giant beast.

It was just a warm-up game before. In the face of the real battle, can Guiyan City be defended?
"Dong dong dong!" The war drums sounded, and hundreds of thousands of troops came to the city. They were neat and solemn, full of murderous atmosphere. Even the diverted river could not stop their bravery.

All of this happened so suddenly, and the Da Qin soldiers seemed unprepared and caught off guard.

Changsun Tao, who had put on his military uniform, looked heroic. The pure Jun sword left behind by his former master shone coldly in his hands. He looked at the hundreds of thousands of troops and found the carriage where his wife was imprisoned at a glance.

When he has to choose between his country and his lover, what choice should he make when he is in a dilemma?
"Sixteen, General Liu," Changsun Tao opened his mouth. The weighty words were so calm when he said them, "The princess is in their hands. When the war starts, I will save the princess. If I am lucky, I will save the princess." The king will definitely bring her back safely, if not, I will die with her."

"Never open the city gate. My eldest son, Sun Tao, will never do anything that would dishonor your honor in a place where our master's blood is cold."

In other words, Changsun Tao would rather die with Yu Qinghuan under the city and in front of the enemy's formation than agree to Northern Qi's conditions!

"Your Majesty..." Liu Xiaojie knelt down with a bang, "With hundreds of thousands of soldiers, if we can't save the life of the princess, how can we survive in this world?! Your Majesty must not go into danger alone. The low-ranking officers and soldiers are willing to work with you. advance and retreat!"

Yang Qian was silent. He would die for Ayu without hesitation or blinking an eye!
But he is a descendant of King Xingyang. He is the only one left in the Prince's Palace of Xingyang. He is the only one who can inherit the spirit of being willing to devote himself to the vast mountains and rivers until his death. He is the only one left who can pass down the passion and sincerity of the Sima family. .

The city must be defended!

He must also guard the mountains and rivers that are covered with his footprints and never allow barbarians to trample on them!

He understood Chang Sun Tao's choice and respected Chang Sun Tao's choice.

Finally, he thrust his sword into the city wall and said with great solemnity: "Today I, Sima Xuanmo, bet on the reputation of all the martyrs of the Sima family. If the city is alive, the people will be alive, but the city will die. If you go and save the princess, I will take care of this city." You keep it!"

Changsun Tao bowed to thank all the soldiers, stood on the wall with his sword in hand, facing the wind and the rising sun, with a determined look on his face, looking forward to death!

His body is as straight as a green pine, like a sea-fixing needle that stands firm in the rolling torrent.

And his eyes were filled with incomprehensible emotions.

When the soldiers saw him facing the enemy with his sword, a surge of courage suddenly rose in their chests. That was the courage to die rather than surrender and to build the city with flesh and blood. That was the unique integrity of a Qin man and a soldier!
At this time, the Northern Qi people shouted.

"Your Great Qin Princess Qi is in our hands! If you want her to survive, open the city gate immediately and welcome our troops into the city!"

Da Qin also shouted: "The eldest prince of Northern Qi is in our hands! If we want the eldest prince to survive, come and exchange with Princess Qi immediately!"

"The eldest prince and the third prince have died long ago. Qin people should not treat us as fools. In one sentence, if Princess Qi is here, open the city gate immediately!"

The prime minister made a gesture, and Yu Qinghuan was pulled from the carriage, his arms were clamped, and he was thrown to the ground.

In other words, Northern Qi was not prepared to care about the life or death of the eldest prince.

Also, defeat was a shame in the eyes of the people of Northern Qi.

What was he doing while he was still alive when he was taken prisoner into the enemy camp?
"Princess..." All the soldiers' eyes turned red immediately.But what Chang Sun Tao noticed keenly was the sight of Yu Qinghuan using her knees to protect her abdomen when she landed on the ground.

"Yan Yan!" Changsun Tao's Adam's apple rolled up and down as he squeezed out these three short words.

"Silly boy, girl, I'm afraid..." The rest of the words came out of Baili's mouth without hesitation.

But Changsun Tao understood - this silly girl would rather go into danger alone than sneak into Wu Ti's side to find out the identity of the spy.

How had she ever been afraid of death?

According to her temperament, if she was caught and used to threaten Da Qin, she would never give Northern Qi a chance to threaten Da Qin, even if both sides suffered losses.

The only one who can make her surrender without any resistance and be willing to capture her is...

Only she would rather risk having her knees shattered to protect her abdomen.

Under such circumstances, Changsun Tao couldn't tell how he felt when he knew that he would be a father.

After the initial shock, I just felt sorry for my wife.

"Idiot! I made you impulsive and overestimate your capabilities!" Changsun Tao choked.

He pressed one hand on the city wall and looked at the woman who was still stubborn and unwilling to bow her head despite being pressed in the mud. His heart seemed to have been run over many times by these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

He couldn't wait to open the city gate immediately. He didn't want the country or the family, and he couldn't live up to his responsibilities as a husband and a father!
However, as King Qi, the backbone of the Qin Dynasty, with the responsibility of all the people in the world, and the expectations of Marquis Yiyong, he will never be allowed to do things that will ruin his power and humiliate the country!

So he could only watch helplessly as his wife was pinned to the ground and stepped on her shoulder. He couldn't take action immediately.

He hated why he was not an ordinary man, so that he could ignore her and rush forward to block his wife.

He also hated his own powerlessness for causing his wife to suffer so much.

Yu Qinghuan, who stubbornly raised his head, also saw his figure.

She was in jail without a frown, her eyes instantly dimmed with tears.

Changsun Tao is here, he is really here.

She knew that Chang Sun Tao would definitely come.

When she guessed Wu Ti's intention, she should have wiped her neck quickly to prevent Northern Qi from using her to threaten the soldiers of Guiyan City.

Several times, she wanted to cut off her veins and take the poison she made for herself, but at the last moment, she held back - it was not that she was afraid of death and had to live in an ignoble way, but that as a mother, she could not take care of her children. If she was going to die, she would take her child to die. She would never choose this life-or-death approach until the last moment.

At least, give this child who was born in her womb and had a mother-child bond with her, a chance to live.

More than ten years ago, my parents sacrificed their lives, extinguishing their passion for this country, but leaving themselves and my brother to experience the suffering of the world.

They are the country's heroes, but they are not qualified parents. She really doesn't want to be such a mother.

Fortunately, her father has arrived, and the child's father has arrived.

This gave her hope to live. Even if they died together, she would still be happy.

The whole family is intact, alive and dead, so what?
Wu Ti also noticed Yu Qinghuan's movements and frowned deeply.
