Chapter 534 The Finale
In the spring of the third year of the Zhao Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty, the situation in the Yunqing Continent changed suddenly.

No one expected that the Liangzhao and Liangzhao countries, which had already finalized the peace agreement, would start fighting again.Murong Zhuo, the great general of Zhao State, led an army of [-] to attack Liang State, and soon set foot on the territory of Liang State.

However, after knowing the whole story, the two countries of Chen and Yan were suddenly stunned.

Liangguo's so-called peace request turned out to be just a cover for the purpose of assassinating Emperor Han and the Empress.It was heard that Emperor Han was fine, but the Empress was seriously injured.Song Qinghuan, Empress of Zhao Kingdom, had always been Emperor Han Nilin, and now that she was injured, with Emperor Han's temperament, the entire Liang Kingdom would definitely be buried with her.

In the previous battle between the two countries, the general Yao Su who led the Liang army to successfully resist the attack of the Zhao country, was already beheaded by Emperor Han because he was the leader of the Liang country mission.

However, Emperor Yin Zhan of Liang became weaker and weaker, unable to take care of himself, Empress Su Rao suddenly disappeared for no reason, and Yin Zhan had no heirs for several years after he ascended the throne, and the dragons in the court had no leader, and everyone was in danger. In just two months, the Liang Kingdom fell into decline. Has been displayed.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this time, Liangguo is in trouble.

Liangguo has no backbone, everyone is thinking about how to protect themselves, Shen Chuhan's violent and cold temperament is outside, this time the empress of Zhaoguo is injured, Shen Chuhan is bound to be furious, everyone is afraid of getting angry, so there is very little resistance along the way Less, many cities were captured almost effortlessly.

Thus, Zhao Guo's army was like a broken bamboo, and under the leadership of Murong Zhuo, they went all the way north with a destructive momentum, and went straight to Shengjing, the capital of Liang Kingdom.

As the saying goes, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Seeing that the country of Liang will not be protected, and the situation of the four kingdoms of the Yunqing Continent is about to be broken, the remaining two countries, Yan and Chen, are becoming more and more uneasy.

At this time, on the anniversary of the death of the imperial concubine Jin of the Chen Kingdom, the Emperor Chen suffered a cold because he went to worship in the rain.At first I thought it was just a minor illness, but I didn't expect that because Emperor Chen's health has not been very good in the past few years, this illness is a one-time illness, and he stayed in bed for more than ten days, and finally let go.

The emperor died, and the crown prince Su Jingci came to the throne logically.

And the country of Yan on the other side.

At this time, there are two factions in China.

Emperor Yan Ning Tengyue advocated sticking to the border to prevent the Liang State from suddenly transferring its troops to enter the Yan State.After all, they had just signed a peace agreement with Zhao Guo, and they took the opportunity to send troops at this time, and some of them came from nowhere.

What's more, to the east of them, they are also adjacent to the territory of Chen Kingdom. If they are in a stalemate with Zhao Kingdom, and Chen Kingdom takes advantage of the situation to send troops, they are bound to fall into a situation of being attacked by enemies from both sides.The military strength of the Yan State was already the weakest among the three countries. Therefore, Emperor Yan was unwilling to take the lead in provoking a war and giving the other two countries an excuse to invade.

Ning Xiao, the crown prince, advocated taking the initiative to attack, taking advantage of the fact that Zhao State had devoted most of its troops to fighting Liang State, and took the opportunity to capture the city of Zhao State.Because he knew that with Emperor Han's wolfish ambitions, once he succeeded in conquering Liang Country, his next target would be Yan Country.As for the peace agreement, Emperor Han has never been a person who takes the opinions of the world seriously.

What's more, his queen is the former Yu Kingdom Emperor Ji.The Kingdom of Yan has conquered the Kingdom of Yu, and Emperor Han and Emperor Wuyang will never let it go. The peace in front of them can only be preserved for a while.Therefore, instead of sitting still and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

However, he suggested to Emperor Yan several times, and even offered to lead the army, but was rejected by Emperor Yan.

Because, at this time, Emperor Yan still had lingering fears about Ning Xiao being poisoned last time. Now that Ning Xiao has just recovered from the poison, he has invited himself to the battlefield. ?
Therefore, Emperor Yan finally decided to take a wait-and-see attitude for the time being. Just in case, he sent additional troops to the northwest border and ordered people to guard the border adjacent to Zhao Kingdom.

In July of the third year of the Qing Dynasty, the army of the State of Zhao approached Shengjing, the capital of the State of Liang.

But at this time, the country of Chen, which had been standing still, suddenly sent troops to attack the country of Yan.

The State of Yan never expected that the State of Chen would launch a sudden attack at this time, because they had sent most of their troops to the northwest, and the frontier defense in the northeast was weak. In addition, the State of Chen attacked suddenly, State of Yan had no time to prepare, and was soon attacked next city.

Emperor Yan had no choice but to order the dispatch of troops to the Northeast, and at the same time ordered the Northeast Army to guard against death.

In September of the third year of the Qing Dynasty, the army of the State of Zhao attacked Shengjing outside the city. Emperor Yin Zhan of Liang dragged his sick body and came to the city wall to command.

Sitting on the horse, Murong Zhuo looked at Yin Zhan's precarious body on the city wall, with a serious face, waved his hand back, and ordered loudly, "Siege the city!"

As soon as the words fell, thousands of troops galloped forward, and the dust rolled up in an instant.

Yin Zhan hurriedly ordered people to shoot arrows, but the Zhao army had a large number of people. Although some people were injured, they couldn't stop the Zhao army from attacking at all. Within a moment, there was the sound of a giant tree knocking on the gate at the bottom of the city wall.

"Your Majesty, you should go and avoid it first." Seeing the scene of flying arrows, the officials around him looked at Yin Zhan who was coughing, frowning and persuading him repeatedly.

Yin Zhan waved his hands, staring at the scene of the yellow sand under the city wall covering the sun and corpses strewn across the field, he couldn't do his best to support the wall with his hands, his nails dug deep into the cracks in the bricks of the city wall, and the veins on the back of his pale hands bulged.

Zhao Guo's army has already attacked the foot of the city wall, and the city will be broken sooner or later. Even if he escapes, where can he avoid it?What's more, he was proud all his life, and when he died, how could he be willing to be a coward.It might as well be here, living and dying with the soldiers and civilians in the city, even if it is inevitable to die in the end, it will be regarded as a well-deserved death.

He raised his eyes and looked towards Youyuan's front, feeling a sense of sadness welling up in his heart.

His short life is about to end like this.

The corners of his lips were hooked in a self-deprecating manner, and a strange spark ignited in his ashen eyes.Or, instead of dragging this diseased body to linger in the world, it is better to die like this, and never have to suffer from the pain from now on.

Strange to say, when I think about it this way, my heart seems to be more transparent than ever. At this moment, the overwhelming hatred in my heart for several months seems to disappear in an instant.

In the past few months, he tossed and turned every night, and it was difficult to sleep. Whenever he thought of the injustice this world treated him, he would be full of resentment, wishing to destroy the world.

He hated, hated the former queen who poisoned his mother and concubine back then.

He hated, hated Shen Chuhan and Murong Zhuo who had betrayed him.

He hated, hated Song Qinghuan, who was a troublemaker.

He hated, hated Su Rao who played with him in the applause.

But at this moment, all these hatreds seemed to disappear in the dust rising all over the sky, and the clanking of iron horses in his ears, and the shouts resounding all over the world seemed to be far away from him.

It's okay to die like this.Maybe his life was just an accident.

In a daze, he suddenly felt a gust of wind break through the air flow, rushing toward his face with a strong murderous aura. He was shocked in his heart, and suddenly raised his eyes to look, but saw that an arrow had already flown in front of him, and was about to pierce himself in the next moment. heart.

His heartbeat stopped suddenly, his head was bald, and his instinct for survival made him subconsciously grab the officials around him to block him.

The sound of the arrow piercing into the flesh was clearly heard in his ears, and there was a sudden blow in front of him. He lowered his head and saw that the official in his hands tilted his head and died.

Yin Zhan turned pale with fright, threw the body aside, and shouted repeatedly, "Come here...! Come here! Hurry...quick escort...!"

Death seems to be easy to say, but only when you face death face to face do you realize that the so-called willingness to die is just a talk.

Many people had already died on the top of the city wall, and amidst the roar of war drums and shouts, no one heard his faint cry for help.

Yin Zhan became more and more panicked. Just as he was about to turn around and go down the city wall, his back suddenly felt a chill. Before he could turn around, he felt a pain in his back.

Enduring the severe pain, he subconsciously turned around. Before he could see the scene in front of him clearly, he heard a slight sound of air current and another pain in his chest.He lowered his head slowly, and saw an arrow passing through his chest, and bright red blood quickly flowed out from the wound, staining his clothes red.

Yin Zhan seemed to think of something, his face suddenly turned pale.

Mother and child arrows!
Zimujian has extremely high requirements for archery skills, and he happened to know someone who is a rare archery master.

Yin Zhan raised his head slowly and looked down the city wall. Among the thousands of troops, he happened to see the man on the horse with a single glance. be yourself.

Murong Zhuo, the great general of Zhao State.

The pain in his chest became more and more intense, and his vision gradually became blurred.

Yin Zhan tugged at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't expect that he would die in the hands of Murong Zhuo in the end.

Leaning against the city wall and sliding down slowly, he could feel his life passing by like the blood that kept oozing out.He leaned against the city wall, raised his head with difficulty, looked at the blue sky above his head, and slowly closed his eyes.

If there is an afterlife, he only wishes to be a wandering wild crane living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and only asks God to give him a healthy body.

This last thought came to my mind, and I finally tilted my head and died.

The soldiers who were fighting next to him accidentally took a look here, and when they saw Yin Zhan who was lying on the ground, his face turned pale with fright, and he wailed, "No...it's not good! Your Majesty... Your Majesty is dead!"

Following his wailing, there was a loud "boom" from under the city wall——

The city gate of Shengjing was knocked open.

On September [-]th in the third year of Zhaoguo and Qingyuan, Emperor Yin Zhan of Liang died, and Liangguo was destroyed.

*
After conquering Liang Country, Murong Zhuo left half of his soldiers to guard the important towns in Liang Country, and brought another [-] troops back to the court.

By the time Murong Zhuo returned to Lindu, it was already November, although it was cold and windy in Lindu in winter, it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of everyone.On the day Murong Zhuo entered the capital, the alleys were empty and the people lined the streets to welcome him. It was another rare occasion.

Because of Murong Zhuo's return, Mu Bai and Murong Zheng's wedding, which had been postponed for several months, can finally be held as scheduled.

That day, the Chu Mansion was lively all night, and it was rare for everyone who had been tense due to the war situation in Liangguo to relax for more than half a year.

However, not long after the wedding, half a month later, Mu Bai received a secret order from Shen Chuhan to secretly lead a small group of elite soldiers to the border of Yanzhao, accompanied by Song Xuan.

Song Xuan took the initiative to invite Ying to join the army. After all, Yuguo is his homeland. Although he has no plans to restore Yuguo, as the prince of Yuguo, Yanguo overthrew his homeland, and he has a sworn feud with him. Zhao Guo marched into Yan Guo, and he also wanted to do his part.

Shen Chuhan thought for a long time, and after discussing with Song Qinghuan, he agreed to his request.For one thing, although Song Xuan has never been on the battlefield, he has read military books and can give Mu Bai some advice on the formation of troops.Second, with him around, even if Zhao State had just signed a contract with Yan State, Zhao State's march into Yan State would be justifiable.

What's more, many of the Yan State's army now belong to the former Yu State's old troops. Song Xuan is the fifth prince of Yu State and their former master. When facing Zhao State's army, their morale will inevitably be affected.

At this time, the battle between Yan and Chen has also entered a fierce stage.The Kingdom of Chen suddenly attacked the eastern border of the Kingdom of Yan, and the Kingdom of Yan could only urgently dispatch troops to block the attack of the Kingdom of Chen with difficulty.However, the Kingdom of Chen won by surprise and captured four cities along the way. The two armies stalemate at a place called Shuangyan Town in the territory of the Kingdom of Yan, falling into a stalemate.

Half a month after Mu Bai and Song Xuan left, it will be New Year's Eve.

This year's New Year's Eve is quite difficult for many people.Murong Zheng is newly married to Yan Er, but her husband is away on the battlefield; Jun Xi and Song Xuan have just reunited after a long absence, but they cannot spend the first New Year's Eve together.Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan were naturally also thinking about the battle situation in Yan Kingdom, so they didn't have much mood to enjoy the lively reunion on New Year's Eve.

However, it was rare for everyone to get together, even though Mu Bai and Song Xuan were not there, the two still held a small palace banquet in Huaqing Palace, and only those close to them were invited to participate.

Jun Xi brought A Nian, Yu Li from Wuyou Mansion, Xiao Lingyi, Ji Liuyun, Ye Luo, and Murong Zheng into the palace. Everyone put aside their worries and longings for the time being, and passed by in a lively manner. new year.

After New Year's Eve, on the first day of the new year, Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan brought Youyou and Ah Lin to Xiao's Mansion to visit Taifu Xiao's family.This New Year, Xiao Hua, who stayed in Cangzhou, rushed back to Lindu to celebrate the New Year with everyone, even Xiao Nan and Murong Zhuo returned to court together, and the Xiao family spent a lively New Year's Eve.

The whole family was very happy to see Shen Chuhan and others, Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan went to Xiao Mansion in the morning, stayed in Xiao Mansion for a whole day, and returned to the palace after dinner.

After returning to the palace, Song Qinghuan asked the maid to take Youyou and Ah Lin to rest, looked at the darkening night outside the window, turned to look at Shen Chuhan and said, "Ashu, I'm going to see someone."

Shen Chuhan was not surprised when he heard the words, picked up the cloak that he had just taken off and fastened it on Song Qinghuan again, "Come back earlier."

Song Qing smiled happily, and led Liuyue Shenxing out of Huaqing Palace.

Liu Yue led the way with a lantern, and Shen Xing followed beside her. Both of them knew where Song Qinghuan's destination was, and they went to a certain place with ease.

Song Qinghuan was in a good mood today. Looking at Liuyue's slim figure in front of her, she rolled her lips and smiled, and said, "Liuyue."

"Your Highness." Liu Yue turned around and looked over, her eyes were full of light, and her expression was pretty in the soft light.

"Azheng and Mu Bai's affairs are done, next, it's your and Xuanying's turn." Song Qing laughed and joked.

Liu Yue's cheeks flushed, and Ai Ai Qiqi said, "But according to His Highness's arrangement, slave... slave is not in a hurry."

"You are not in a hurry, but Xuanying is in a hurry."

Liu Yue's face became more and more red, she lowered her head, staring at the corner of her clothes shyly.

Song Qinghuan pursed her lips and smiled, "When spring comes, I will arrange this matter."

"Thank... Thank you, Your Highness." Liu Yue responded with a voice like a mosquito.

Song Qinghuan smiled lightly again, and said, "Let's go."

Liu Yue responded and continued to lead the way.

Song Qinghuan glanced at Shen Xing's face, seeing that she was also smiling and very happy for Shen Xing, her heart moved slightly, and she said again, "Shen Xing, Liu Yue has found a good home, how about you? Someone you like?"

Shen Xing did not expect that the topic would suddenly turn to himself, his ears turned slightly red, and he said sternly, "Your Highness, this servant does not want to marry. After Liu Yue gets married, there will be only this servant next to His Highness who will serve you personally. If you are also married, who will serve His Highness? The servants want to serve His Highness for the rest of their lives."

"Nonsense!" Song Qinghuan pretended to be angry, "Could it be possible that there will be fewer waiters by my side? It's your life's most important thing."

To her, Shen Xing and Liu Yue were already better than ordinary maids. She naturally thought that they could find someone they loved and live their lives happily, so how could they be willing to tie Shen Xing by her side for the rest of their lives? ?

Shen Xing smiled embarrassedly, "Your Highness, I really don't have anyone I like. If I have someone I like in the future, I will definitely tell you."

Song Qinghuan understood in her heart that such things as feelings cannot be forced.Seeing the magnanimity in Shen Xing's eyes, I knew that she might really not have a sweetheart, so I could only sigh in my heart, nodded and said, "Then you have to be careful, otherwise... all good men marry wives gone."

Shen Xing smiled quietly, "I'll save it for you servants." Xu was afraid that Song Qinghuan would continue this topic, so he hurriedly changed his way, "By the way, Your Highness, Young Master Ji and Miss Ye are not married yet, I wonder when they...?"

"Both of them, I'm not in a hurry." Song Qinghuan said.

Ever since Ji Liuyun fell off the cliff that time, Ye Luo finally understood her feelings for him.Ji Liuyun is a person from the world, and he is free and easy in his actions. As long as he is sure that Ye Luo likes him, he is not in a hurry to get married.The main reason is that Ye Luo is still young, and he wants to wait for her to grow up.But a few days ago, he seemed to be talking to Shen Chuhan, saying that after a while, Ye Wen was brought to Lindu, and then he and Ye Luo's marriage was arranged in Lindu. In this way, Shen Chuhan and She can also witness this scene with her own eyes.

"When Liuyue's happy event is over, it will be their time." Song Qing laughed happily, "So you have to work harder, Shen Xing."

Seeing that the topic turned to him again, Shen Xing smiled helplessly and nodded in agreement.

After walking for a while, a familiar oleander forest appeared in front of my eyes.

Passing through the oleander forest with ease, they opened the mechanism at the end of the forest, and the three of them entered the tunnel.

In the underground palace here, Su Rao is still imprisoned.

Yes, Song Qinghuan didn't kill Su Rao, but ordered Xuanying to abolish her martial arts.In addition, three meals a day are provided, but Su Rao's range of activities can no longer exceed the iron cage in the underground palace.

Sometimes, living is more painful than dying.

Su Rao is an extremely conceited person. She always thinks that she is the most powerful person in Yunqing Continent. , to her, it was a kind of relief.

Therefore, Song Qinghuan refused to let her die.

She wants to torture Su Rao slowly, and let her die alone and suffer in this dark place.

Since the confrontation with Su Rao that day, Song Qinghuan has never been here again, but occasionally when nothing happened, he would ask about her situation.I heard that Su Rao tried countless ways to escape from this prison in the beginning.She made trouble, went on a hunger strike, and even seduced the guards, but it was all in vain.

After a few months, she finally calmed down and said nothing every day, as if she had really accepted the fact that eternal life was imprisoned here. , "I want to see Song Qinghuan." I won't say more about the rest.

At this time, a faint halo appeared in front of him, Song Qinghuan withdrew his thoughts and stepped out of the tunnel.

What appeared in front of him was still the huge iron cage.

In the corner of the iron cage, where the halo of the night pearl is difficult to reach, there is a black shadow curled up into a ball, which is Su Rao.

Song Qinghuan took a step forward, and a strange smell came over him.

Liu Yue frowned, and muttered, "What's the smell, it's so big?"

Song Qinghuan smiled lightly.

Su Rao was imprisoned here, except for the supply of three meals a day, nothing else was provided.Therefore, for the past eight or nine months, Su Rao has been eating, drinking, and drinking here all day, and since she hasn't bathed for so long, it's perfectly normal to have a strange smell.

The former proud daughter of the heavens has now become a fetid prisoner. For a person like Su Rao, such a huge gap is more tormenting than the most terrible punishment.

She took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, poured out a few pills, took one for herself, and gave Liu Yue and Shen Xing both.After taking the pill, the peculiar smell at the end of the nose really dissipated a lot.

At this time, Su Rao in the prison heard the movement and slowly turned her head to look over.

Seeing that it was Song Qinghuan, her pale eyes lit up suddenly, she suddenly went mad, and rushed over, through the iron fence, staring at Song Qinghuan, as if she wanted to tear her flesh every inch of her body. gouged out.

Goodbye to Su Rao, even though she was prepared, Song Qinghuan was still slightly surprised.

At this moment, Su Rao was no longer as glamorous and charming as before.Her long hair hung down, stained with sweat from being unwashed for too long, greasy and disgusting.

The face covered by the long hair is no longer clean and flawless, it can be broken by blows, and becomes sagging and full of stains.Those eyes that were once charming and seductive no longer have any charm, except for the burning resentment, there is only the ashes of a dead fish.

Anyone who sees Su Rao at this time will never imagine that she is the once magnificent Qinshui Emperor Ji Su Rao who is the head of the three beauties in Yunqing Continent.

Song Qinghuan withdrew her scrutinizing gaze, smiled faintly, and said in a clear and sweet voice, "Su Rao, long time no see."

"Song Qinghuan, you bitch!" Su Rao's long nails clawed at the iron railing, growling at Song Qinghuan like an untamed beast.

"I heard that you really want to see me." Song Qinghuan pretended to take out a handkerchief and fanned it, looking at Su Rao.

When Su Rao exerted force on her hand, her long nails were snapped off, but she didn't seem to notice, she just screamed in that ghostly hoarse voice, "Song Qinghuan, you have the ability to kill me!"

Song Qing laughed faintly, "Su Rao, if you want to die, no one will stop you."

Although she crippled Su Rao's martial arts, she did not cripple her hands and feet. If she really wanted to seek death, whether it was hitting the wall or biting her tongue, there was always a way to succeed.But she didn't, she was still alive like this.

Song Qinghuan had already seen through Su Rao's temperament.

She is so conceited, but she doesn't want to be defeated by her own hands in the end, so how can she be reconciled?Even if he was imprisoned here by himself, there must still be the last luck left in his heart.Perhaps she felt that as long as she was alive, there was hope.Maybe, she will find a way to get out one day, or she can die before her, or someone can find out her whereabouts and come to rescue her.

It was precisely because he knew Su Rao that Song Qinghuan did not kill her.Living under such mental torture every day is much more difficult than dying.

Sure enough, Su Rao was speechless.

Panting roughly, she looked at Song Qinghuan who was still exquisite and beautiful in front of her, biting her lower lip tightly with her teeth.

She couldn't die, how could she die before Song Qinghuan? !Even if she lives like a dog, she must endure until the day when Song Qinghuan is frustrated.

Song Qing laughed happily, "You've been here all year, I'm afraid you don't know the years outside." After a pause, "Yesterday was New Year's Eve."

Su Rao's heart skipped a beat.

Lunar New Year's eve--

She has been in this ghost place for nine months.As long as she doesn't die, she still has countless nine months or even... nine years to stay.But if she died, wouldn't she fall into Song Qinghuan's arms?

She knew that Song Qinghuan was just waiting for her to be overwhelmed by humiliation, and then commit suicide in shame and anger. She, Su Rao, would never act according to Song Qinghuan's wishes!

"By the way, Liangguo has been destroyed." Seeing that Su Rao was silent, Song Qinghuan continued to speak, with a calm expression, as if she was talking about an ordinary thing.

Su Rao's heart was shaken again, she was suddenly out of breath, and a burst of sadness spread from the bottom of her heart.

Liang country, is it really destroyed?
Liang country was destroyed, and her only hope to get out was Chen country.If... If she could deliver the news, perhaps, she might still be rescued.

However, this last remaining hope was quickly shattered by Song Qinghuan.

"Also, Emperor Chen passed away a few days ago, and Su Jingci succeeded to the throne. Your queen mother, please go to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb of Emperor Chen."

Song Qinghuan's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting her heart hard, smashing her fragile heart to pieces.

Father...is dead...? !

That is to say, her only hope of being rescued is gone?

Su Jingci has always been at odds with her, even if she knew that she was imprisoned here by Song Qinghuan, he would never come to rescue him.The so-called Queen Mother invited her to visit her father's tomb. Thinking about it, it was just an excuse for Su Jing to put her mother under house arrest.

There was a sudden loss in my heart, and the only light left in my heart was suddenly extinguished.In the bottom of my heart, there is only boundless and endless darkness.

It's over, everything is over, her life is completely over.

He raised his head suddenly, his eyes shot out a deep hatred, and he just stared at Song Qinghuan, as if he wanted to swallow her alive.

Song Qinghuan's expression did not change at all, and he looked at Su Rao like that, with only sarcasm in his eyes.

Su Rao looked at her for a moment, then suddenly tilted her head back, and slammed into the iron railing again.

Song Qinghuan didn't even blink her eyelashes, and with a flick of her hand, Su Rao's forehead was thrown to the ground before it touched the iron railing.Even though it was just such a light and skillful swipe, Su Rao could feel the strong internal force contained in it.

She... When did her martial arts become so strong?
Jealousy, anger, shame... All emotions were intertwined at this moment, and the bottom of her heart felt like it was going to explode. She pressed her fingernails to the ground, and suddenly raised her head to the sky and let out a roar, "Ah..."

Song Qinghuan curled the corners of her lips. Just now, Su Rao really wanted to die. It seems that at this time, Su Rao's thoughts are all hopeless.

However, she wanted to die at this time, but she would not let her die so easily again.

You are going to die, but I let you live.

With a look of coldness in her eyes, she turned to look at the guard at the side, "Take care of her, don't let her die."

The guard said in a deep voice.

Song Qinghuan moved her toes, turned around, stopped looking at Su Rao, and Shi Shiran left.

"Liu Yue, call Xuan Ying to see me tomorrow."

"Your Highness wants to deal with Su Rao?"

"Ask Xuanying to send people to disable her tendons and hamstrings, and then pull out her tongue." Song Qinghuan said flatly.

Su Rao, do you want to die now?Unfortunately, it's too late.

……

On the second day of February in the fourth year of the Qing Dynasty, the army of Zhao State launched an attack on the border between Yan and Zhao.

Most of the troops of Yan State were caught in the battle with Chen State, and the army defense in the northwest was weak and difficult to resist.

However, the army of Chen State was strong and strong, the army of Yan army was unstable and retreated steadily, and the eastern border was also in a state of crisis.

Under the pincer attacks of Zhaochen and Chen, Yan became more and more confused. Within three months, most of Yan's territory had been occupied by Zhaochen and Zhaochen. Only the cities around Lin'an were still under the control of Emperor Yan.

Yan State was in chaos. Emperor Yan also sent envoys to seek peace with Zhaochen and Zhaochen, but they were all rejected. It seems that the two countries are determined to destroy Yan State. Under such circumstances, the demise of Yan State , just a matter of time.

The question now is, among Zhaochen and Zhaochen, who can take the lead in conquering Lin'an and destroying Yan.

Because the main force of the Yan army was in the east, the Chen army encountered greater resistance. Although they took the lead in launching an attack on the Yan State, the captured city of the Yan State was not as good as that of the Zhao State.Coupled with the fact that Song Xuan led the army, some towns along the way cared about the former Yu Kingdom, and they abandoned the city and surrendered without much resistance. Therefore, Zhao Kingdom attacked Lin'an before Chen Kingdom.

The soldiers approached the city, and the two armies confronted each other.

Song Xuan came out and said something emotional and reasonable to the sergeants of the Yan Kingdom. When he was the prince of the Yu Kingdom, he also handled a lot of political affairs for the Emperor Yu. It is very popular with the people of Lin'an.

On the other hand, Ning Tengyue, after he ascended the throne, because he was afraid of the threats from Zhaochen and Chen, he continued to expand his military strength, recruit troops everywhere, and raise taxes. , defected.

Lindu was captured without any effort.

Song Xuan asked Mu Bai to lead troops to search for the stubborn people in Jian'an City, while he led some soldiers and headed towards the palace.

At this time, the palace was full of fireworks, and the palace people fled in all directions, making it a mess.

He was familiar with the road, and when he arrived at the palace where Ning Tengyue lived, from a distance, he saw white smoke rising from the palace, as if it had run out of water.Song Xuan hurriedly led the troops forward, and saw that Ning Tengyue's bedroom was already on fire, and the fire blocked the way into the palace, which was very dangerous.

He frowned, and summoned a small group of soldiers to the back, gave a few low orders, and the leading soldier complied, and walked to the other side.Song Xuan asked someone to arrest a nearby servant who hadn't escaped in time. After being interrogated, he learned that Ning Tengyue didn't want to fall into their hands. He brought the queen, prince, and concubine into the palace, and was planning to burn himself to die for his country!
Song Xuan sneered, looked at the burning flames, and said nothing.

The soldiers behind did not receive orders, and just stood guard quietly in front of the palace.

At this time, a person suddenly rushed out of the flames, his whole body was wrapped in a fireball, he stumbled down the steps, and rolled on the ground a few times, the flames on his body had just been extinguished, but his whole body was already in a mess.

Song Xuan narrowed his eyes, seeing that the figure of the man seemed familiar, stopped the soldiers who wanted to go forward, and walked to the man.

The dark man raised his head and looked at Song Xuan with his eyes.

When his eyes touched Song Xuan's face, he was startled for a moment, and a strong shock appeared in his eyes. Suddenly, he thought of something, hugged Song Xuan's feet, and cried loudly, "Fifth Prince, please help me, I... I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I don't want to be hacked to death by my father, I don't want to be burned alive!"

Song Xuan frowned, and recognized the person in front of him as Ning Shu who had met several times before.

Ning Shu's voice seemed to be smothered by the smoke, making her hoarse and unpleasant, her face was also darkened, and she couldn't see her face clearly.There is only a pair of eyes, and there are still some shadows from the past.

Song Xuan pulled her leg out of her hand in disgust, and took two steps back.

Ning Shu was taken aback, and just about to continue to hug him, Song Xuan waved back, and the soldiers behind him understood, stepped forward, pulled Ning Shu up, and held him firmly.

Ning Shu's wrist was painfully gripped by them, and she looked at Song Xuan with a crying voice, "Fifth prince, don't you remember me? I... I am Ning Shu? We met before, before."

A few years ago, Ning Shu came to Beijing and met Song Xuan for the first time during the spring hunting in Shanglinyuan, and she had a good impression of him.It's just that the world changed later, and that feeling could only be buried deeply in her heart.

This time, she also heard that the leader of Zhao Kingdom was Song Xuan, the former fifth prince.She was pulled into the hall by Ning Tengyue, and she heard the words that the Ning family should not be greedy for life and fear of death, nor should they fall into the hands of the enemy, but rather die generously and die for their country with awe.

She watched her father ignite a fire, watched her elder brother commit suicide, and watched her father kill his mother with his own hands. The next one will be her.But seeing the bright red blood dripping from her father's sword, she was still scared.

She is just a little girl, she doesn't care about the country's hatred and family feud, she doesn't have any integrity, she just wants to live.

So, she mustered up her courage and ran out while her father was distracted. Unexpectedly, the first person she met when she ran out was Song Xuan.

Those old feelings in the bottom of my heart revived again.

Maybe... Maybe the fifth prince will spare her life because of his old love?

However, when his eyes met Song Xuan's icy expression, his heart thumped again.They are now standing on completely different opposite sides, will he really, will he spare himself?What's more, the former fifth prince didn't seem to like him very much.

Song Xuan didn't look at him, but just stared at the raging fire in front of her eyes.

At this time, there was a sudden movement from one side.

Song Xuan turned her head to look, and Ning Shu followed subconsciously, but when she saw the scene in front of her clearly, she was stunned.

I saw a group of Zhao Kingdom soldiers walking towards this side pressing down on a person, and that person was the father who was still in the palace just now!She was completely stunned. What the hell is going on?Isn't the father in the palace?Why did it appear here...?
As if seeing the astonishment in her eyes, Song Xuan sneered, looked at Ning Tengyue and said, "General Ning, long time no see."

Ning Tengyue described it as a bit embarrassed, looked up at him, and said coldly, "I didn't expect the Fifth Prince to be really alive."

Song Xuan hadn't had time to speak yet, but Ning Shu yelled out in great surprise, "Father, you...how are you here?"

Only then did Ning Tengyue see Ning Shu at the side, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he didn't speak.

Seeing this scene, Song Xuan seemed to have guessed something, and the sarcasm on his lips became even more serious.He looked at the soldier pressing Ning Tengyue, "Where did you find it?"

"Sure enough, as the consort expected, he was stopped at the exit of the secret passage."

Song Xuan hooked his lips, and looked at Ning Tengyue sarcastically, "General Ning may have forgotten that this place used to be the imperial palace of my country, and I know every place in this palace very well. How could I not know? General Ning seems to have thought too little about where he wants to escape from."

Ning Tengyue snorted coldly, but did not speak.

Ning Shu on the side seemed to realize something, trembling and screaming, "Father, you...you want to run away?!" Seeing Ning Tengyue bowed her head and said nothing, the last trace of luck in her heart was shattered , cried out in disbelief, "Father, why? Didn't you say... didn't you say that the Ning family should have integrity? Brother... brother is dead, mother... mother was also killed by you, but you Want to escape by yourself?!"

Ning Shu's body trembled even more, her heart was full of fear, anger and shock after being betrayed.

"Shut up!" Ning Tengyue yelled angrily after being exposed by Ning Shu.

What does she know as a girl?As long as he is alive, he has a chance to make a comeback.As for the Queen and Ning Xiao, if they don't die, Zhao Jun will definitely become suspicious. For their own sake, they have to sacrifice.

Ning Shu's body trembled again, the tears had run out, and she looked at Ning Tengyue with despair.

She never expected that the tall and brave father in her heart would be such a despicable villain!
The queen mother and elder brother are already dead, and the royal father... the royal father actually wants to live alone, but the country of Yan has already been destroyed, so what's the point of them staying in this world?Overwhelming despair welled up in her heart, looking at Ning Tengyue's familiar yet extremely unfamiliar face, and the indifference in her eyes, Ning Shu knew that Song Xuan could not spare her, and that she and her father could not escape death after all.

Rather than die in his hands, it would be better to end it yourself!
For a moment, Ning Shu didn't know where the courage came from. Taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, she pulled out the knife from the waist of the guard at the side, and stabbed Ning Tengyue's abdomen suddenly.

The incident happened so suddenly that even Song Xuan didn't have time to react. He watched Ning Shu's knife go straight into Ning Tengyue's stomach, and blood flowed out in an instant.

Ning Tengyue looked at Ning Shu in disbelief, and roared, "Shu'er, you...how dare you...?!"

Ning Shu smiled sadly, "Father, don't blame me. The queen mother and elder brother have already taken a step ahead. You... What's the use of you being alive? I... I'm not afraid of death now, and I will come soon I will accompany you." As she said that, she pulled the knife again and wiped it on her neck without hesitation, only to hear a "clang", and the blood-stained knife dropped from her hand, and she also fell to the ground slumped.

The moment she was about to die, she raised her small face to look at Song Xuan, her eyes flickered, and a desolate smile appeared on her face.

Fifth prince, if there is an afterlife, I will never become an enemy with you again.

Ning Tengyue's feet went limp and he also fell to the ground.

He covered the wound and looked at Ning Shu who had her eyes closed forever, feeling guilty and shocked at the same time.He knew that Ning Shu's knife hit the vital point, and he would not live long. After all, it was his daughter. No matter how much he complained and hated, at this moment, all he could do was feel sorry for her.He stretched out his hand and tried hard to hold Ning Shu's hand, but unfortunately, before his fingertips touched Ning Shu's cold hand, he tilted his head and died.

Looking at this scene, Song Xuan's eyes flickered, and he said coldly, "Hang Emperor Yan's body at the city gate for three days." After a pause, his tone was slightly slow, "As for Empress An Ning..." His eyes were on Ning Shu's dark face swept away, "With the courtesy of the emperor concubine, let's get buried alive."

*
On May 27th of the Qing Dynasty in Zhao State, Zhao State captured Lin'an, the capital of Yan. The Queen of Yan and Prince Ning Xiao burned themselves to death, Emperor Yan was beheaded, and the State of Yan perished.

In the sixth month of the Qing Dynasty in Zhaoguo, Chenguo sent envoys to seek peace.

Although Zhaoguo has been gaining momentum all the way, the battle line is too long after all, and the soldiers have been exhausted after fighting for so long.Coupled with the repeated battles, the national treasury couldn't afford it. After weighing it, he agreed to the Chen Kingdom's peace request.

In July of the Qing Dynasty in Zhaoguo, the two countries of Zhaochen reached an armistice agreement, and the truce lasted for ten years.

The Kingdom of Chen retains one-third of the territory of the Kingdom of Yan that it conquered earlier, and the remaining two-thirds belong to the Kingdom of Zhao. So far, two-thirds of the territory of the Yunqing Continent has belonged to the Kingdom of Zhao.And the situation in which Yunqing Continent was divided into four parts of the world was broken, and from then on, it became a situation in which Zhaochen and Chen two countries stood on each other's feet.

These are the official history records many years later.

It is said that back then, the key factor that finally led to Emperor Han agreeing to the Kingdom of Chen to seek peace was a letter secretly sent by the Emperor to Lindu.It is said that the letter is about the mystery of the life experience of the Emperor's biological mother, Concubine Jin, and the truth about her mysterious disappearance.At the end of the letter, it was written that Chen Guo sincerely asked for peace, but if Emperor Han refused, he could only pass on a copy of this letter to Empress Zhao Song Qinghuan, with a hint of threat in his tone.

Unexpectedly, after Emperor Han read it, he directly gave the letter to Empress Zhao. The two stayed alone in Huaqing Palace for a long time, and when they came out again, their expressions were unprecedentedly calm, and the tightly entwined With both hands, everyone who saw them felt that there was nothing in this world that could break up the affection between the emperor and empress.

Even so, for some reason, Emperor Han finally agreed to Chen Kingdom's peace proposal.

There are unofficial rumors that Emperor Han once said to the close generals Murong and Chu, "For this country, I have already missed Ah Wan once. In this life, I will leave the rest of the time to Ah Wan." Ah Wan, Nai Zhao Empress Song Qinghuan's baby name.

For the next ten years, the two countries really lived in peace.

Afterwards, in the year when the crown prince came to the throne, Emperor Han tried his best to abdicate the throne and passed the throne to the crown prince. Afterwards, he took Empress Zhao to visit the mountains and rivers.Fortunately, the prince is very talented, and he has shown extraordinary intelligence since he was a child. He was brought by Emperor Han's side to deal with political affairs when he was very young.

During Emperor Han's reign, the harem was vacant, with only Empress Song Qinghuan alone, and only two heirs, Emperor Ji Yijia and Crown Prince Junlin.Even so, because the crown prince is talented and talented at a young age, coupled with Emperor Han's iron and blood skills, the subjects of the Zhao Kingdom gradually accepted this fact, and as one united, the national strength became stronger and stronger day by day.

As for Chen Country, it was another scene.

Emperor Su Jing said "follow goodness like a stream", and recruited a lot of talented women to enrich the harem, but the harem was always vacant.It is said that there is a person living in the Emperor Chen's heart, a person he will never be able to get.

Unlike Emperor Han, Emperor Chen has many heirs, but very few become talented.

When the emperor was 48 years old, because he was dissatisfied with the position of the crown prince, the three princes rebelled, bribed the servants around the emperor, and secretly poisoned the emperor.

After the death of the Emperor Chen, the Kingdom of Chen fell into a struggle for the throne, the country was torn apart, and the atmosphere was chaotic.

At this time, Emperor Zhao, who had just turned 25 years old, made a decisive decision. Taking advantage of the turmoil in Chen's country, he sent his army eastward, and at the age of 26, he annexed Chen Kingdom in one fell swoop.

At this point, the Yunqing Continent, which has been divided for hundreds of years, has officially achieved great unification.

The new historical prelude is officially opened, and the legendary story of the young Emperor Zhao will be written down again in history.
