Chapter 53: Soldiers Arrive at Jishui City

On the battlefield, the situation changes. One day the city returns to this country, and the next day, it may have changed its owner.

Emperor Yi realized that something was wrong, so he ordered people to recruit young men from all over the country to join the army. The original military system of one man per ten households was now completely ignored. All men were captured, including children aged 10 years and old men in their fifties and sixties.

People with disabilities are not willing to let anyone go.

It is spring, and the lack of hundreds of thousands of young men has already greatly affected the spring plowing in Italy. Now that people are arrested like this, how can there be anyone farming in the fields? Women are crying and wiping their hands.

Tears, the old people have no one to support them, and the children have no one to teach them... It is not an exaggeration to say that the country of Italy is filled with mourning at this time!

Nalanxue led the troops all the way to attack Jishui City. Along the way, she bought supplies and food at market prices in the city. She did not rob or rob, bully or humiliate the people in the city. When she met some respected old men in the city,

He would also personally visit the people's houses. If he met the common people who were guarding the city and had unclear official status, he would set up a court and listen to the people to list their past sins. According to the laws of Mo country, those whose crimes were serious enough to be punished would be dragged to death.

Go and behead him, hang his head at the gate of the city, and be scorned by the people for a month. Those who have committed serious crimes but should not be beheaded will be convicted according to law, and those who should be imprisoned and distributed will be sent to the Sentencing Department of Zhaoyang City and escorted to a bitter cold place.

To be a slave.

After those city guards were dealt with, and there were no more city guards, Nalanxue wrote to Sima Qing and asked him to send a suitable person to take over. Before the new city guard took office, a well-known person in the city would be temporarily in charge.

.

Others led the troops and attacked all the way. Without supplies from the rear, the number of people would be reduced. Nalanxue, on the other hand, marched all the way and gathered the defense soldiers of the cities she passed. When they reached the foot of Jishui City, she originally

The ten thousand light cavalry and five thousand crossbows have turned into an army of three hundred thousand! Light cavalry, heavy cavalry, light armored infantry, heavy armored infantry, and crossbowmen, everything is available!

To the annoyance and embarrassment of Italy, Nalanxue led her soldiers and went deep alone from Tianyue City on the border of Moyi. Like a sharp sword, it penetrated straight to the foot of Jishui City. The roads on both sides of this passage

Without exception, the city guards of Italy could not get out. What's more, as soon as the army led by Nalan Xue walked past them... they hung up the snake and turtle banner representing the Mo Kingdom. Without a fight.

drop!

The veteran who was sent to the front line by two Bai Duyu was knocked unconscious again and again. Bai Jifeng, who had been "carried" from the front line back to Jishui City, was no longer as childish as before.

He was not wearing a brocade robe, only a plain single coat, standing on the city gate. From a high position, he looked down at Nalan Xue, who was standing at the front of the military formation.

Because he was so angry that he was heartbroken. Bai Duyu had died the night before. According to what Bai Duyu had written long ago, Bai Jifeng was the rightful successor to the throne in Yiguo at this time. If...

As long as the country is not destroyed, he should be the one to ascend the throne in the future...

"Nalan Xue, I just want to ask you, do you really think that you have never, even a little bit, had any affection for me?"

The autumn wind is bleak, and the man who used to be unruly and unruly stands on the city wall with a pale face. His voice is full of hysteria, "What is wrong with me that I don't like you? Tell me, and I will change it for you."

I want you to like me until you are satisfied, can't you? I...you should have discovered that I am no longer as good as before, not striving for advancement, and acting arrogantly. I...I really like you...I

...There is really no chance that I can be with you?!"

Nalan Xue was unmoved and just sat on the horse safely. Her eyes fell on the three large characters carved in bluestone on the lintel of the south gate of Jishui City. She had sketched them a dozen times. It was already September and there were still three months left.

On the seventh day, Jiang Yue's memorial day, she was able to attack the city as planned. The rest was to occupy the city, dig out the ancestors of the Italian royal family, and build a tomb for him.

After a long silence, seeing Bai Jifeng still holding the city wall with both hands and leaning forward, waiting for his answer, Nalan Xue had to slowly exhale, raised her head slightly, narrowed her eyes, and looked at him,

"Bai Jifeng, you and I are on different paths, how can we come to the same destination?"

She admitted that Bai Jifeng had changed a lot in just a few months. At least, it was no longer the same as before, making people feel disgusted just by looking at it. But, what is the difference between change and unchangedness?

Jiang Yue is dead, and the country of Italy has become a piece of fish on the chopping board. It is difficult to harvest it if it is covered with water. It is difficult to harvest it if it is covered with water.

"Why don't I give you my country as a gift?"

Bai Jifeng bit his lip. He bit his lip too hard and broke it. The taste of blood entered his mouth, making him cough. When he calmed down, he seemed to understand something.

Bunde raised his head and looked at Nalanxue who was looking up at him at the bottom of the city, "In the past, my father and I were confused and wanted to take some shortcuts to marry you back, which made your king angry and embarrassed.

, This is the fault between me and my father, but now that my father is in control, I also know that I was wrong... Can't you be more generous, forgive me, and give me another chance?!"

"Even if you don't give it to me, I can take it myself. What difference does it make if I give it to you or not?"

Before Bai Jifeng could finish his words, Nalan Xue curled up her lips and smiled. That smile only made people feel that it was bone-chilling, "Besides, today, Nalan Xue has no intention of giving you the chance to hold the seal and accept surrender.

Your Highness, in the future, "Mo Guo Zhi" will write like this: In the autumn of the second year of Showa, General Hongyan was angry and refused to surrender. He ordered his soldiers to massacre all the royal family, dig up the imperial mausoleum, and reward the three armies with the secret treasures in the mausoleum. Mo

The emperor was angry and demoted his official position and demoted him to a commoner..."

Nalan Xue's words shocked everyone on and off the city. Along the way, she had never let soldiers massacre a city in more than a dozen cities. She was also kind and amiable to the people in the city.

, but... what kind of trouble is she going to make today!? She clearly knows that if she does this, she will anger Emperor Mo Sima Qing, be criticized by everyone in the world, and even leave a mark on her life in the history books.

The stain... is still so determined and stubborn, she... this is...

"Why do you hate my country so much?"

Bai Jifeng seemed to be calmed down by Nalan Xue's words. After a long time, he finally came back to his senses and looked at her with a dull look, "What did I do wrong?

Is it so heinous? It is so heinous that you would not hesitate to ruin your own reputation and future. You also want to destroy my entire family? You also want to...dig up the ancestral graves of my Bai family?"

"You are just a playboy. At best, you have made me unhappy. Although I am stingy, I am not stingy to this extent."

Nalan Xue curled her lips and smiled. She instinctively clenched her hands in her sleeves, and her nails pierced her palms without realizing it. There were only two times in her life when she felt so sad. One was Nalan Xue.

Duan Shou died, and she was in court. She could not accompany him for the last moment. Another thing was that she learned from others that Jiang Yue was burned to death on the mountain by Bai Duyu. The day of the fire happened to be that he had promised her that he would give her a gift.

At the time of the gift. "When your father set fire to the mountain, you and I became enemies. I swore that the entire country of Italy would be buried with him. If you want to complain, then blame Bai Duyu. You members of the Bai family

If the ancestors want to blame, they should also blame Bai Duyu! I will kill this city today! I will kill the royal family of Italy, too! I can also tell you, Bai Jifeng, why did I want to kill your Bai family?

His ancestral grave! Because, on the first seven days of his life, I made a promise to him that I would destroy your country, dig up the royal tomb of your country, and find him a geomantic treasure, a quiet place... When he was alive,

He could not enjoy a day of peace and prosperity. Now that he is dead, I will promise him a peaceful life..."

One by one

A drop of tear overflowed from Nalan Xue's eyes, slid down to her cheek, and fell to the ground, moistening an inch of land beside the horse's hooves. Originally, it should have been a very slight sound, but at this moment, it made the city go up and down.

People all feel depressed and stinging.

Everyone thought that Nalan Xue, this strange woman from the Mo country, fought on the battlefield, ate and drank with the soldiers, and never complained about the heroine. She should be a heroine who could not cry, feel pain, or get hurt.

A fairy-like figure who can't... Today, after listening to her words, I realized that it's not that she can't cry, feel pain, or get hurt, but that she is stronger and more capable than others.

She can endure pain, and even more... She is just like ordinary people, like every one of them...

"It turns out...it's him...I...understand..."

Bai Jifeng was as surprised as anyone in the city. After a long time, he slowly lowered his head and smiled to himself, "I'm sorry... Nalan Xue... I'm sorry... I... my father has passed away."

Jiahe, I... on his behalf, I want to say to you... I'm sorry..."

"Others are dead, so what's the use of saying this? If your 'I'm sorry' can bring him back alive, today, not to mention a Jishui city, is half of your country. I, Nalan

Snow, I can decide to return it to you! Can you?"

Realizing that she had lost her composure, Nalan Xue took a deep breath, lowered her head, and calmed down her mood a little. What happened to her? Hiding her emotions was always her specialty, wasn't it? Today... he and Bai Bai

What does Jifeng, a person whose country is about to perish, say these things? What she said today will definitely be known to everyone. Will this make Sima Qing suspicious of the Nalan family, which will be detrimental to the future of the two brothers?

Will it... ruin dad's reputation... Will it...

"If I can, I won't be stingy."

Bai Jifeng's words interrupted Nalanxue's calculations. He pulled out his sword from his waist and slowly climbed up the city wall, with an apologetic and distressed look on his face, "Today happens to be the Double Ninth Festival, I care.

In our country, it is a day to climb mountains, sweep graves, and pay homage to our ancestors... Nalanxue, I only ask you this last sentence, whether you are willing or not, give me a promise... I will sacrifice my life for him and wait for my death.

Finally, how about you bury me?"

There was no room for negotiation in Bai Jifeng's words, or in other words, an emotion called despair had made him no longer afraid of giving up. He really just wanted to die, but after death,

He hopes that someone he likes can help bury his bones and send him on his last journey. This request is not excessive, and even a little pitiful.

"good."

Nalan Xue agreed, then lowered her head again, no longer looking at Bai Jifeng, and only made a gesture to Yan Niang who was following her that only her secret guards could understand.

Yan Niang took the order and left without attracting anyone's attention.



On a hill not far away, Jiang Yue was forced onto a stone chair by Su Ling and others, and even ropes were used.

Just now, when Nalan Xue said those words to Bai Jifeng, this guy completely lost control and was about to rush down the mountain to tell her that he was actually not dead.

If not, Su Ling had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he rushed forward and hugged his legs, dragging him to the ground. At this time, this guy had already ran to the front of Mo Jun's formation, hugged Nalan Xue, and didn't care about anything.

, go and tell her your true feelings!

"Your Highness, how can you be so excited? Although the princess' words are touching, they are just words! If you don't think about your future, you have to plan for the princess now? What if you are so rash?

I rushed over and let everyone in the world know that you are not actually dead, that the princess was deceived by you, and that the Italian country was destroyed, which was actually unjust. How will the princess behave in the future?"

Seeing Jiang Yue, whose hands and feet were tied and gagged, glaring at him and frowning, wishing he could just beat himself up, Su Ling couldn't help but sigh and looked for him

He couldn't sit in his seat and started to reason with him, "Also, if you go out now and let Sima Qing know that you are not dead, I will definitely send someone secretly to silence you. Think about it,

The princess was born in Nalan Mansion, and her brother Nalan Shu is the person Sima Qing relies on very much. He will allow the princess to become a couple with you, a person who can't bring him any benefit? You are so impulsive and confused.

, are you worthy of the princess's infatuation with you? We have big things to do. We don't have much free time to waste with him. You also want to marry the princess as soon as possible, right? The more you waste one day, the more you will get.

If you delay for a day, you don't want to wait for the princess to become a mature lady before marrying you? Or, what if, that Sima Qing is afraid of being criticized by everyone in the world, and randomly gives the princess a mandarin duck score... Wow one by one

"

Before Su Ling could finish his words, Jiang Yue, who somehow broke the rope, pounced on him and beat him violently.

He was a minister and Jiang Yue was a king. Although the two of them grew up together, he still didn't dare to fight back when Jiang Yue wanted to beat him.

After venting enough anger on Su Ling, Jiang Yue rubbed his sore fist and stood up straight. Just now, he was tied up by these bastards, and he didn't even see what happened there.

, In addition, Nalan Xue's speaking voice has also become softer, and it is no longer as clear as before for him to hear... I wonder if his dear princess has said anything more to express her true feelings to him?

Tsk, what a pity!

Thinking like this, Jiang Yue angrily kicked Su Ling who was about to get up from the ground, bastard, delaying him from listening to his dear princess! Damn it!

Su Ling was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Just as he was about to get up, he was kicked by Jiang Yue again. His legs hurt, so he fell to the ground again. Seeing that he still had a "resentful" look on his face, he simply sat on the ground.

He didn't get up anymore. Anyway, he might have to be beaten at some point. Why did he bother to get up? On this hard rock mountain, a fall would be much more painful than a few punches!



Bai Jifeng swung his sword and killed himself, and the gate of Jishui City was opened wide.

After listening to what Nalan Xue said before, the soldiers and generals who were full of sympathy for her swarmed in at this moment and went to various places in the city to capture people.

In fact, there are not many people in the so-called Italian royal family.

Bai Duyu is dead, and he has two princesses and a prince. The eldest princess has already died in the Shang Kingdom. The prince is gone again, leaving only a young and ignorant little princess. After hearing the rumors from the palace, she was frightened.

Jumped into a well.

Bai Duyu succeeded to the throne after killing all his brothers. There are only two sisters from the same mother who are still alive. Now, hearing that Nalan Xue wants to kill all the royal family of Yiguo, the husbands of these two people are also very busy.

Each of them wrote a letter of divorce and kicked them out of the house.

It is said that husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes. This is the case. In this world, there are many couples who can share joys and sorrows. How many couples can be together in life and death?

After beheading the two Italian princesses who had been kicked out, all the soldiers rushed into the Italian imperial mausoleum.

Nalan Xue had already hinted before that she would let everyone dig up the tomb of the Emperor of Italy and divide the treasures inside. Of course, there are conditions, that is, after all the things inside are divided, they must be rebuilt and perfected.

Come to build a mausoleum for the deceased old prince Jiang Yue of Surabaya.

All the soldiers, except for the initial 10,000 light cavalry and 5,000 crossbows, were all reorganized by Nalan Xue. They could be said to have no respect or loyalty to Emperor Mo Sima Qing, while Nalan Xue,

The general who often greeted them along the way was different. Not to mention her intelligence, wit, fairness and kindness, her actions in not allowing the massacre of the city alone convinced everyone.

Who doesn’t have a father and a mother? Which one of these soldiers is not the son of a father? Who does not respect a general who does not harm the common people, upholds justice for the common people, is not greedy, and does not seek personal gain?

Not to mention that they only helped her build a mausoleum, even if that old Emperor Mo tried to make things difficult for her and asked them to rebel with her and establish their own country, they would never hesitate at all!



In Zhaoyang City, Mo State, a horse rode through the streets and headed straight for the palace.

It’s “flying on grass” again!

Again, eight hundred miles expedited!

Sima Qing took the military report from the envoy's hand. After reading it, Sima Qing's face suddenly became a little ugly.

This letter clearly explained every word Nalan Xue said to Bai Jifeng at the foot of Jishui City that day. After the letter, there was even more speculation that Nalan Xue already had a heavy army in hand.

The intention of betraying Mo country.

"Yu'er, what do you think about this?"

There were only two people in the royal study, Sima Qing and Sima Yu. After sending away the messenger, Sima Qing handed the letter to Sima Yu and asked him for his opinion. These days, the son is taking advantage of him more and more.

Not only did he have unique insights on many things, but his reputation among the ministers was also getting better and better. He was thinking that in a few years, if he was still in his 60s, he would

So I handed over the country of Mo to him, and became the Supreme Emperor with peace of mind. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
