While running away, Zhou Ya listened to the sound of horse hooves on the ground. As soon as he crossed the border, he shook his head and said:
"There's no need to leave, Sun Guogong has already caught up with you."
Upon hearing this, King Ruan and Mrs. Yu stopped fighting again and shouted for Zhou Ya to stop Sun Guogong.
Zhou Ya felt angry after hearing this. These people were really uncles. He told them to run away quickly, but each one of them got angry and refused to run. There was no need to run away now, and he scolded him for not trying his best.
In anger, Zhou Ya could only hold up his sword and make his final explanation to King Ruan and others.
"The next step is for His Highness Prince Ruan to leave on his own. I don't know how long the general will be able to stop him. But if His Highness Prince Ruan doesn't want to become a prisoner of Duke Sun, he should still try his best to find a way out."
"Of course, if His Royal Highness King Ruan is willing to collude with Duke Sun, then this life will be buried here in vain."
No one stared at King Ruan, no one asked King Ruan to take a stand, and no one insisted that King Ruan not surrender to Duke Sun.
Neither Hua Jin nor Li Yunqing, nor even King Qi's concubine Tian Xiang, thought that King Ruan was very important.
That's why Hua Jin asked Zhou Ya to send King Ruan back to Hushan County.
Even if King Ruan defected to Sun Guogong, it would have little impact on Guqi Prefecture and Beidi.
But Zhou Ya was just following orders. He didn't hand over the task, so he had to successfully send King Ruan out of Guqi Prefecture. Even if it cost him his own life, he had to do it.
When the Qi King's troops following him saw this, they were all unambiguous. They immediately drew their weapons and faced the direction where Sun Guogong's army was chasing them, with expressions as if they were ready to die.
Fight today, even if you die, you will be honored!
There were only a few hundred people in King Qi's army. Everyone formed a half circle to protect King Ruan and others in the circle. Behind King Ruan and others was a long bridge.
Under the bridge is a chasm that is bottomless.
As long as King Ruan and others cross the bridge and cut off the long bridge, they can temporarily block the pursuit of Sun Guogong's soldiers.
Where King Ruan and others will go at that time is beyond the control of captains like Zhou Ya.
But King Ruan and the others refused to leave. More than a dozen people gathered behind King Qi's troops in panic, making exaggerated howls of ghosts and wolves.
"You guys leave quickly!"
Some of King Ruan's troops anxiously shouted to King Ruan and others, "What kind of trouble are you going to make if you don't leave?" Did King Ruan want to wait to be captured by Sun Guogong?
So what is the significance of their upcoming death in battle?
Yu Jiajia looked at all this with a cold face. She slowly retreated towards the bridge. She didn't want to see Sun Guogong.
That beast, she didn't want to see her.
The sand in the distance was flying, and getting closer, a group of soldiers wearing iron armor, riding Hushan County horses, rushed out of the sand, followed by densely packed government soldiers.
The number of people was indeed several times that of King Qi's army.
"Fight!!! No matter what they died for, the soldiers who were lucky enough to be able to kill a few thieves like Sun Guogong today were worth their while."
“Worth it!!!”
Zhou Ya shouted loudly and led King Qi's army to charge forward. Soon, there was a fight.
They are the troops of the King of Qi, and all the troops of the King of Qi are from Guqi Prefecture.
Regardless of whether they are veterans or new recruits who joined the army after the death of King Qi, they are all from Guqi Prefecture.
As long as one is from the bottom of Guqi Prefecture, there is no one who does not hate Sun Guogong.
The former King of Qi was still dissolute and immoral, but Sun Guogong truly controlled Guqi Prefecture for decades.
In the past few decades, Guqi Prefecture's harsh government was as fierce as a tiger, and the people lived in dire straits. They wanted to eat Sun Guogong's flesh and bones.
As soon as Sun Guogong fell, the people of Guqi Prefecture welcomed Princess Li, Hua Jin.
In the hands of Huajin, Guqi Prefecture's welfare policies emerged one after another. Anyone who is from Guqi Prefecture has to lament that compared with Huajin's governance and Sun Guogong's governance, the living standards of the people in Guqi Prefecture are completely different.
One sky and one earth.
Therefore, such a comparison makes the hatred of the people of Guqizhou towards Sun Guogong more and more clear.
Any bloody man knows that Guqizhou cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of Sun Guogong. Sun Guogong is a rebellious minister and a rat on the street.
Everyone must shout and beat him.
But after the fight actually started, King Ruan finally realized that he was panicking, turned around and wanted to cross the bridge.
They kept cursing, blaming Zhou Ya for not being attentive to them and not sending them across the bridge.
Now they are forced to flee for their lives in panic, suffering the fear and powerlessness of war.
Yu Jiajia stood gloomily in the middle of the bridge, listening to the people behind her scolding Zhou Ya.
Her face was still pale, but her eyes were becoming more and more sinister.
This group of pampered people, whether they were King Ruan or Mrs. Yu, were just ordinary women and servants. How had they ever seen such a scene of blood and flesh flying around? They were all peeing and crawling towards the bridge.
I don’t know what happened, but the mother-in-law who was supposed to be supporting Princess Ruan was shot by a flying arrow. I don’t know who shot it. She fell directly on the stone slab of the upper bridge and was kicked by Prince Ruan.
Pull open.
Fighting like this makes everyone feel scared.
Princess Ruan lay softly on the ground and climbed a few steps towards the stone bridge. Then she raised her dusty face and looked at Yu Jiajia on the bridge. She stretched out her skinny hand and pointed at Yu Jiajia, asking for Yu Jiajia's help.
Give her a handful.
Yu Jiajia didn't move, just stood on the swaying suspension bridge, her eyes red.
The rest of the people, including Mrs. Yu, were running to the bridge with all their strength. No one cared about Princess Ruan. Everyone seemed to have forgotten her existence.
Originally, a person who was about to die of illness and a palace that had already fallen into decline, Princess Ruan was a burden to anyone.
A tear fell from Princess Ruan's eyes. She kept looking at Yu Jiajia, but her outstretched hand fell heavily to the ground.
But Yu Jiajia still didn't move, just watching everyone at Prince Ruan's Mansion get on the bridge.
The fighting continued not far away, and she couldn't tell who was the Qi King's army and who was Sun Guogong's soldiers among the people covered in blood.
I heard King Ruan rushing over, pointing at Yu Jiajia and shouting,
"She is what Duke Sun wants. If you give her to Duke Sun, we will all be safe."
At this time, everyone is thinking about how to live in the right way. Who cares who the Yu family wants to give Yu Jiajia as a concubine?
Anyway, for Prince Ruan, even if Yu Jiajia became Li Yunqing's concubine, his Prince Ruan's palace would not be able to return to the days of wealth and luxury.
After all, he was already very poor during this period. No matter how he tried to force money from Princess Ruan and Mrs. Yu, these two women from the Yu family were all on the same page.
"No money!"
So what hope does there have for the future? Even if Li Yunqing takes the Yu family out of Hushan County, what benefit will it bring to King Ruan?
It would be better to give Yu Jiajia to Sun Guogong. Anyway, what Sun Guogong wants is to marry Yu Jiajia and get all the Yu family's property.
When the time comes, maybe they will treat King Ruan favorably for the sake of his meritorious deeds.
King Ruan had this idea in mind and reached out to catch Yu Jiajia.
The soldiers on the opposite side are getting closer and closer.
Yu Jiajia's eyes turned red. Looking at King Ruan who had rushed to her, she couldn't help laughing.
"You people, other than giving me to this and that, won't you be able to live on your own?"
How much did she hate that she was like an object, being given to whom these people randomly decided to give in order to get the greatest benefits?
Especially I hate that I was given to Sun Guogong!
King Ruan grabbed her thin wrist and pulled her in the direction of Guqizhou.
He shouted:
"Go, you go and tell Sun Guogong to give me money, lots and lots of money. I can do whatever I want, as long as he gives me money!"
"Money, money, money, if you don't have money, you are no longer a person."
Yu Jiajia looked at Prince Ruan with hatred, and did not struggle, but just looked at Mrs. Yu.
Mrs. Yu no longer looked as glamorous as the rich lady she once was. She was wearing wrinkled clothes and squeezed up from behind a small group of people, looking at Yu Jiajia eagerly.
"Jiajia, you, just listen to your brother-in-law and go deal with Sun Guogong first, and wait until we are all safe..."
"Aniang?"
Yu Jiajia shouted softly. She seemed to have already expected such a thing, but she seemed unable to accept that such words would come from her mother's mouth.
Yu Jiajia shook her head stubbornly,
"Auntie, that's a beast, that's a beast."
Didn’t Aniang want to give her to King Xiao Li? Why do you want her to deal with Sun Guogong now?
If she had known this, why did she abort the child in her belly in the first place?
Isn't this child's play?
Mrs. Yu looked at Yu Jiajia with a troubled face and said anxiously:
"Jiajia, look at the current situation. Is your madness still not cured? Now you can no longer tolerate your willfulness. King Xiao Li doesn't even know where he is. If you don't follow Sun Guogong now, our group of people will
They will all die, and it is very likely that your father and the others will never be rescued."
In the past, she could count on Li Yunqing to help save people. She thought that by removing the child from Yu Jiajia's belly, she could successfully send Yu Jiajia to Prince Li's Mansion.
Who would have thought that Tian Xiang would lead King Qi's army and sweep them out of the capital of Guqi Prefecture?
If you don't flatter Sun Guogong now, you will die soon.
"Hahaha, hahaha~~!!!"
Yu Jiajia laughed crazily,
"Child's play, child's play. In your eyes, Sister A and I are the same. We are just tools and child's play! Hahaha."
She did not want to be pregnant with Sun Guogong's child. If she were conscious, she would choose to abort the child after learning that she was pregnant.
But during this process, so many things happened that she completely forgot that she was forced by Sun Guogong.
So I had sincerely looked forward to the birth of the child in my belly.
However, these people said that they wanted to give her to Li Yunqing, saying that it would be good for the Yu family and Prince Ruan's palace. They never asked her if she agreed, and they easily took away the child in her belly.
What a child's play.
"Jiajia!" Mrs. Yu urged anxiously, "Don't go crazy, just be obedient."
"No, Auntie, I have never been so sober as I am today, sober enough to see through the true face of each of you."
A gentle brother-in-law can also abandon his once beloved wife like a pair of worn-out shoes when life is in embarrassment.
The mother-in-law who loves her and cares about her has never really thought about her. Even though she has suffered great hardships and pain in life, her parents and sisters are still thinking about how to sell her for a better price.
And the sister she once respected, the role model of women in the boudoir, the good wife and mother, died quietly on the other side of the long bridge.
Has anyone seen it? Has anyone cared about it?
Has anyone shed a single tear for her?
This is the fate of the daughter of the Yu family.
When these people squeezed the last bit of value out of them, and when they died, there wasn't even an elegy.
What's the point?
Yu Jiajia smiled and cried, cried and laughed, but this appearance did not earn anyone's concern.
King Ruan was so angry that he let go of Yu Jiajia's wrist and shouted:
"These Duke Sun's soldiers are coming to kill you. You are still crying and laughing here. You are really a madman."
Then, King Ruan hurriedly raised his hands and shouted in the direction of Guqizhou,
"My lord, my lord, the second young lady of the Yu family is here. We won't run away. I volunteer to offer the second young lady of the Yu family. My lord, come quickly."
More than a dozen people stood on the suspension bridge. Except for Yu Jiajia, who was crying and laughing, everyone shouted in the direction of Guqizhou,
"Kill those King Qi's troops, we are here."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Guo, for saving our lives!"
Among them is Mrs. Yu.
Their camp changed sides so quickly that they had completely forgotten how they were gradually devoured by Sun Guogong, draining their wealth and annexing their fiefdoms.
How did they rush to Prince Qi's Mansion, each one like a lost dog, living under someone's roof in Guqi Prefecture?
Yu Jiajia hates, yes, she hates them all, hates every one of them!
Pulling out the sharp dagger from her sleeve, she glanced at the hemp rope of the suspension bridge.
The sharp dagger blew and broke hair, and the suspension bridge swayed. More than a dozen people on the bridge still shouted excitedly to the soldiers of Sun Guogong's palace, but nothing unusual was found.
The second hemp rope was cut, and everyone began to lose their balance.
Someone saw Yu Jiajia's actions and shouted in horror,
"No, her madness is not cured yet!"
Everyone thought that Yu Jiajia's symptoms had been cured since she was born. Everyone relaxed and thought that Yu Jiajia would not have any problems again and would be at their mercy from now on.
As a result, how has her madness improved? She is simply even crazier than before.
Prince Ruan and Madam Yu both turned around. The suspension bridge under their feet tilted. Before they could panic, a servant next to them failed to stand still and slid off the suspension bridge.
"ah!!!"
The screams resounded in the endless chasm, making people's hair stand on end.
Mrs. Yu shouted, "Stop her!!!"
Ruan Dynasty rushed towards Yu Jiajia. She was still laughing, laughing crazily, with tears in her eyes.
With one blow, the entire suspension bridge flipped over completely, and more than a dozen people were thrown into the abyss like dumplings before they could stop or panic.
Including King Ruan and Mrs. Yu.
Also includes Yu Jiajia.
Yu Jiajia, she should have been the richest and most innocent young lady in the world. She could have slowly chosen a husband who suited her needs in both talent and temperament.
She, she could have had the best life, even better than that little Princess Li.
Everything was ruined by that Sun Guogong.
No matter what, she couldn't go to Sun Guogong and ask for compromise, so these people should die with her.
