Chapter 313
Hu Lulan's eyes rippled.

Ruan Zhuqi turned her head and looked towards the sky. Today's sunset is really beautiful, bright red, like a ball of flame.Some memories of Hu Luguang and Hu Luguang gradually came to mind. Ruan Zhuqi remembered that this old general who had no blood relationship with him was very distressed when he fled from Chang'an to Beiqi, and said that he would find a good husband in the future so that Ruan Zhuqi settled down.

"Father... my daughter knows it's wrong, I really know it!" Ruan Zhuqi sobbed while leaning on the city wall, seeing more and more soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty under the city, and the breath of decay was approaching step by step, "I beg Daddy, bless Xuan Shi This battle cannot be lost again!"

"Your Majesty, don't be sad, we may not lose this battle!" Han Changluan did not know when he stood beside Ruan Zhuqi, looking firmly at the soldiers below, "As long as Your Majesty inspires the fighting spirit of the soldiers, Emperor Yong It is not easy to enter Ye City!"

Ruan Zhuqi stood up slowly, wiped away her tears, and looked at Han Changluan with blurred eyes.This person was originally an indifferent scholar, but because of his stubbornness, he was drawn into this smoky place.Over the years, I have instructed Han Changluan to do many things that violated his conscience.Now, Ruan Zhuqi has no hatred in her heart, and finally finds that she owes a lot of people.

She owes Hu Lulan, Hu Luguang, Han Changluan...and Xuan Shidu.

"Where is Your Majesty?" Ruan Zhuqi remembered that Han Changluan said that Xuan Shidu was going to say something to comfort the soldiers at this time.

"Wenchang Palace, I'm preparing that statement. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. Your Majesty is smart and has a photographic memory. You won't make mistakes." Han Changluan understood Ruan Zhuqi's thoughts at the moment at a glance.

"Changluan, thank you for these years." Although Han Changluan said so, Ruan Zhuqi still knew that the possibility of them losing this battle was too great. One last thing! After the matter is done, you take the jade pendant I gave you to find Zhou Emperor Ruan Wenyong, and he will fulfill all the promises I made to you."

"What about the empress?" Han Changluan had a strange feeling in his heart.

Ruan Zhuqi smiled faintly, and said, "I will go find Your Majesty!"

Ruan Zhuqi has never been like this before, and she went to Wenchang Palace not to stir up trouble.The number of guards in the palace has obviously decreased, and those who can escape at this time just let them escape.Yun Xiang stepped forward and pushed open the door of Wenchang Hall, her little hands trembling slightly.

"Ruxiang, don't be afraid, everything is up to you!" Ruan Zhuqi calmed down Ruanxiang's emotions, after all, this girl has been with her all these years, and she is considered loyal.

Inside the hall, Xuan Shidu was stroking Gao Heng's little face, his eyes showing a kind of inseparable emotion.Ruan Zhuqi felt sore, suppressed tears, and said to Gao Heng: "Heng'er, my concubine has something to tell Father, can you play with Aunt Yunxiang outside for a while?"

Gao Heng nodded obediently, trotted to Rue Xiang's side, and took the initiative to hold her hand. "Mother and concubine, what does subjugation mean? Why did the master say that we are going to subjugate the country?" Gao Heng raised his head and looked at Ruan Zhuqi in confusion.

Ruan Zhuqi felt a pain in her heart, leaned over and kissed Gao Heng's forehead, and said softly: "The subjugation of the country means that Heng'er is no longer the prince, and there will be no servants around. But the master is lying to you, we will not perish .”

Gao Heng seemed to understand, he carefully pulled Ruan Zhuqi's clothes, and asked timidly, "Then father and mother will still be by Heng'er's side?"

"Yes!" Ruan Zhuqi nodded without hesitation, "No matter what happens, our family will be together!"

Gao Heng let out a sigh of relief, smiled and pulled Rue Xiang out.

Looking at Gao Heng's bouncing figure, Ruan Zhuqi couldn't hold back the tears anymore.It was her, it was her who made Gao Heng worry about these things at such a young age!She is not a good mother!

But now is not the time to cry, Ruan Zhuqi took a deep breath, secretly wiped away tears while no one was paying attention, walked to Xuan Shidu with a forced smile, and said: "Your Majesty, all the soldiers of the three armies have returned and are waiting for your Majesty outside the city." Woolen cloth!"

"It's just at the end of the battle. What else do I have to struggle for? Any more struggle will only increase the casualties!" Xuan Shidu said lightly, without much emotion in his eyes, just staring at Ruan Zhuqi affectionately and intently, as if he wanted to put this Eyebrows, keep in mind.

"Xuan Shidu..." Ruan Zhuqi's throat choked up, "We can't admit defeat, we can't admit defeat!" Tears gushed out, and Ruan Zhuqi only felt regret at this moment.

"Sometimes, I wonder if Brother Qianao was not given death back then, is Xu now peacefully being the Princess of Lanling and happily with Brother Qianao?" Xuan Shidu stretched out his hand and caressed Ruan Zhuqi's cheek , wiping Ruan Zhuqi's tears little by little.

"Xuan Shidu!" Ruan Zhuqi shook her head desperately, and said, "Stop talking about this, we haven't lost yet!"

"Xu," Xuan Shidu gently hugged Ruan Zhuqi into his arms, "don't cry, I owe all of this. I owe Qian Ao, Feng Xiaolian, and many, many soldiers who died for me .I owe a lot of lives!"

Ruan Zhuqi broke down in tears, and Hu Lulan's last words before leaving were that Feng Xiaolian died to save her. It turns out that Xuan Shidu already knew about it! "No, Xuan Shidu, no! Feng Xiaolian's life was caused by me, and Qian Ao's death is also inseparable from me. These are not your fault! I should pay for it! You We can't give up, we still have a chance!"

The corner of Xuan Shidu's mouth curled into an unknown smile, and suddenly, Ruan Zhuqi felt a pain in the back of his head, and he was no longer conscious. "Why are you willing to ask you to repay these? The Northern Qi Dynasty is about to perish, you can't go back to Ruan Wenyong's side." When he touched her lips for the last time, tears welled up in the corner of Xuan Shidu's eyes, "Xu, take good care of yourself, take good care of yourself." Alive. In the next life, I will find you before him!"

The officers and soldiers of the Qi army waited for a long time under the city, but no one came to talk to them, and their hearts were already in a state of irritability.Rong Xihua and Hou Liangzhe were also extremely anxious, for fear that Xuan Shidu would abandon the army and run away again at this time.After arriving in Yecheng for a long time, Rong Xihua clearly saw Han Changluan's figure, but he did not appear.

"This is Han thief and concubine Shu's stealing the country. Now Ruan Wenyong's pursuers are coming soon, so leave us alone?" Rong Xihua jumped up angrily.

"Your Majesty is coming..."

Rong Xihua and Hou Liangzhe hurriedly looked up to the city, and the long-awaited yellow robe finally appeared in front of everyone.Just this moment, the morale that was originally sluggish suddenly had a ray of hope.

There are more than 5 horses under the city, which are the last elite guarding the city of Ye. Although there is still a large area of ​​land in the Northern Qi Dynasty that has not been breached, if the imperial capital falls, the rest will also be in Ruan Wenyong's pocket.Xuan Shidu scanned the soldiers below, there are more than 5 people, how many people will die for this incomplete and wandering river and mountain?
He couldn't bear it, he had killed too many people!This river and mountain was not what he wanted in the first place, and he didn't like others putting the hope of life and death on him at all.If it is said that he must bear the responsibility of other people's life and death, then he just wants to protect Ruan Zhuqi and Gao Heng with all his strength.

What should I say?Did you really tell the soldiers about the article written by Han Changluan?Xuan Shidu admired Han Changluan's writing style very much. His impassioned pre-war speech was only a few hundred words. Even Xuan Shidu himself was moved, not to mention these battle-tested, simple and down-to-earth people.But if they really said it, wouldn't they want to stand with Xuan Shidu until the last moment?
No!can not say! "I am the Son of Heaven, I can't escape, but they still have a choice!" Xuan Shidu's gaze was extremely firm, these people can no longer die for him!
"Hey..." Xuan Shidu smirked at Hou Liangzhe and Rong Xihua for a while, and said, "The country is about to perish, so go away!"

The indifference in Xuan Shidu's smile made Rong Xihua and Hou Liangzhe chill. It turned out that they had done so much and fought bloody battles for Beiqi until this moment, in the eyes of the king, they were actually indifferent!

Xuan Shidu laughed dryly again, turned around and left.

"Your Majesty is already like this, what are we going to do?" Hou Liangzhe's eyes were full of sadness, he regretted that his blood had met such a king! "Boys, go away! Let's all save our lives!" Hou Liangzhe shouted, slaying himself with a knife.

"General waiting!" Rong Xihua was startled, and cried out in pain, "Why did you come here, general!"

"Without a country, there will be no good generals, so Hou will go with General Hulu!" After finishing speaking, Hou Liangzhe fell heavily from his horse.

When Ruan Wenyong arrived at Yecheng on a light horse, the city gate was empty except for an old and frail city guard who sat by the gate and looked up blankly at the valiant Zhou army.

Yu Fuchen laughed loudly, and shouted into the city: "Little Gao Wei, come and fight!"

No one answered in the city, the old gatekeeper stood up tremblingly, turned his back, and walked slowly into the city. "Stop shouting, everyone is leaving! This Yecheng is just an empty city now! Alas!" The old gatekeeper picked up a package from behind the city gate, folded it back, and said, "This old slave has guarded the south gate of Yecheng all his life. You should be laid off now!"

Ruan Wenyong frowned slightly, Xin Daoxuan Shidu obviously had more than 5 people in his hands, could it be that he abandoned Yecheng and fled?

"Your Majesty! Emperor Qi is cunning, maybe he is setting up an empty city plan, and intends to encircle and kill His Majesty after he enters!" Huang Xian has experienced many battles and is much more vigilant than ordinary people. !"

Ruan Wenyong nodded slightly, looking at the city.It's very strange, just after chasing all the way, the inexplicable feeling in my heart is obviously getting stronger and stronger, why did it suddenly disappear when I arrived here?
After Huang Xian's men went in to investigate, they rushed back happily: "Report Your Majesty, there are indeed no defenders in the city!"

Ruan Wenyong rode his horse all the way from the south gate to the Duan gate. Along the way, although the people closed the gates tightly, men, women and children leaned out from the windows one after another, watching Ruan Wenyong's army pass by curiously.Since Ruan Wenyong started to attack, although he attacked the city and fell to the ground along the way, the soldiers were strictly prohibited from harassing the lives of the people.Therefore, the common people did not resist Ruan Wenyong's arrival.
