The battle outside the city was basically over. The battlefield was in chaos. The iron pagoda that Liang Guo was proud of was completely destroyed. The men and horses fell to the ground, wailing.

They tried their best to stop the enemy and buy time for the army to retreat, but they still ended in a disastrous defeat.

After being bombed and losing mobility, it was later restrained by long-handled axe-hands, and was finally completely eliminated.

They could no longer act as an obstacle, and Daning's army rushed directly across the battlefield into Daze City.

The city was filled with thick smoke and smoke.

There were still nearly a hundred Liang troops who had not withdrawn. Their task was to set fire to all the food and grass that had been stored but could not be taken away, so as not to leave anything for the Daning army.

It is definitely not possible to evacuate after setting a fire and let it burn naturally. It will only leave people and create more sources of fire.

The fire was very thorough. When Daning's army arrived at the grain depot in the city, the fire was in full swing. The grain and fodder were all flammable, and they were now beyond control.

The heat wave is radiating out, making it difficult for people to get close. Judging from this situation, it seems impossible to save him.

Food and grass are needed by the army, so Daning naturally wanted to seize the opportunity, but there was no chance...

The grain depot is the main place, and then there is the arsenal. Liang Jun wants to destroy the weapons and equipment, but it is not easy to destroy these equipment, not to mention the time is tight.

However, Liang Jun's own equipment was insufficient and only some useless things were left behind.

Daning's army quickly entered the city, occupied the Junfu Barracks and other key areas where Liang's army was located, and began a large-scale search, but nothing was gained.

Although the evacuation was in a hurry, Zhu Zhen's arrangements were indeed in place. What could not be taken away was destroyed, leaving very few behind, and the last thing was to rescue the people.

This is what Daning's army must do when entering the city.

Guan Ning's banner was to save the Liang people from fire and water. It was a helpless move to be forced to withdraw from Beilin Province, and now he wants to take it back.

The people of Beilin Province welcomed the Daning army entering the city.

But when the army came looking for him, what they saw was a tragic scene.

There are not many people living in Daze City. When Liang Jun attacked earlier, most of them moved away in advance. Only a hundred households lived in the west of the city.

This is convenient for control and does not affect the army, but now there are corpses lying in a pool of blood!

"Did Liang Jun do this?"

The general who came here, Zhao Gu, frowned.

"Our people have just arrived, and they can't do such a thing anyway. It should be Liang Jun who did it."

"brute!"

Zhao Gu gritted his teeth and said: "These people are all Liang people, people from their own country, and they are ordinary people. What influence can they have on them? How can they be so cruel!"

He really couldn't understand why all these innocent people had to be killed before withdrawing the troops!

Sergeant Daning was filled with indignation.

"Go and find out if anyone is still alive?"

Zhao Gu was a general with a thousand men. He was ordered to inspect this area, mainly to rescue the people and find hidden Liang soldiers.

"Sir, there is a living person over there."

Soon Zhao Gu received the report.

Under the leadership of his subordinates, he came to a courtyard.

This is an ordinary small courtyard. There are two people lying in a pool of blood in the courtyard. They are two old men and a woman. Next to them, there is a woman wearing gray clothes kneeling on the ground.

In times of war, such scenes were not uncommon, and a living person would know what happened.

"We are the Daning army. We have no ill intentions towards you. What exactly happened here?"

"Who killed everyone here? Is it Liang Jun?"

Zhao Gu asked.

After a while, the woman kneeling in front of the two old men said, "It's Liang Jun."

Her voice was soft and ethereal, but it could be heard that it contained anger.

"Why are they killing these innocent people?"

"Because of me."

"Because of you?"

"Yes, because of me!"

The woman said in a low voice: "This is Zhu Zhen's order. He probably guessed that I was hiding in a civilian area, so he sent his personal guards to look for me. He would rather kill the wrong person than let me go. If he couldn't find me, he would kill me to vent his anger.

"

"When these personal guards came, Uncle Wang asked me to hide in the underground vegetable cellar while they went to deal with those beasts, but they didn't expect what would happen when I came out."

"Zhu Zhen?"

When Zhao Gu heard this name, he always felt that it was very familiar. After all, he was only a general with a thousand men, and his exposure to it was not enough.

But he reacted quickly.

Isn't this the Prince of Liang?

This name appeared frequently in the military before, and it was said that His Highness the Crown Prince had a disease of incompetence.

"Why is Prince Liang looking for you? Who are you?"

"I want to see Emperor Daning!"

Lu Qiling stood up.

Facing her directly, Zhao Gucai saw how beautiful this woman was.

There was some dirt on her cheeks, but it didn't seem to affect her appearance at all.

She was wearing a piece of coarse cloth that didn't fit her. It was obviously not hers, but rather looked like the clothes of a dead old woman.

Even so, it cannot conceal her temperament.

Zhao Gu was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses and asked: "Who are you? How can I meet His Majesty the Emperor just because you asked me to?"

He thought that he had only seen him from a distance and had no chance to get close to His Majesty.

"I'm Lu Qiling!"

She directly stated her name.

Lu Qiling knew that Zhu Zhen had a strong desire to kill her, and in order to find herself, she would even kill these innocent civilians.

There is no place for her in Liang State, and she must seek new asylum.

There is no doubt that Emperor Yuanwu is the most suitable candidate.

She didn't know if this was going from one pit to another, but she could only do this.

A woman, or a beautiful woman, must have a strong support.

She knew that Emperor Daning was not a person who liked beauty. As a young emperor, he was simply an anomaly... He was the emperor with the fewest concubines in the harem.

Your own beauty may not be able to seduce him, but your own effect is quite big!

Obtaining himself would confirm what Emperor Yuanwu had let go before, which would be the biggest blow to Zhu Zhen and could further affect the situation of the war.

This is no exaggeration.

Isn't that what happened in the battle of Daze City?

Lu Qiling hated Zhu Zhen, a narrow-minded person who killed so many innocent people.

Uncle Wang and his wife were kind-hearted and took her in, but they didn't expect that they would suffer a disaster.

Lu Qiling felt guilty, and she was determined to take revenge.

However, she was still a little uneasy. She was worried that Zhu Zhen would let Xiaoru pretend to be her and replace herself. At first, she was thinking of leaving to find freedom, but she didn't expect that she would reach this point.

While she was thinking, Thousand-Man General Zhao Gu kept frowning. This name was more familiar.

Who is it?

Why can't I remember it for a moment?

"Lu Qiling, are you Lu Qiling?"

Zhao Gu looked surprised and full of disbelief.

"Are you really the Crown Princess of Liang, Lu Qiling?"

"No!"
