Suddenly, Xia Yan seemed to remember something. Eunuch Luo had a daughter? When was she? Who was she?
Then he looked at Luo Yong with sharp eyes.
"Tell me everything you know."
"Okay, you want to know, right? Then I'll tell you."
Luo Yong didn't say much, but simply told Xia Yan that Eunuch Luo's former wife was called Ling Han, and the story of her and Eunuch Luo.
Hearing this, Xia Yan felt as if there were thousands of dark clouds above his head, and the world seemed to be eclipsed at this moment.
As Su Yue's husband, he naturally knows what this name represents.
As for other things, you just need to think about it a little bit.
Many times, just having a reasonable beginning can lead to a series of more reasonable follow-ups.
As he thought about it, Xia Yan came to understand more and more why Eunuch Luo committed suicide there, and why Su Qian, who was clearly just knocked unconscious, died inexplicably in the end.
"In the end...I hurt him..."
Gently holding his forehead, Xia Yan felt unspeakable self-blame at this moment.
Sometimes, this world is so small that even if it spans several countries, there are still these people going around.
At this moment, Luo Yong felt a little relieved after seeing Xia Yan's appearance.
When Luo Yong was still in Lake City, he saw Xia Yan and decided to rescue Eunuch Luo's body. He felt that this was a man who valued love and justice, so he planned to hide the news.
At first glance, even Xia Yan would still be tempted to give up friendship.
But looking at it now, Xia Yan is at least not a completely heartless person.
Xia Yan, who raised his forehead and regained his composure slightly, looked straight at Luo Yong.
"However, the city still cannot be returned."
Hearing this, Luo Yong's face began to show unconcealable anger and loss.
I have already told Xia Yan the identity of Eunuch Luo, but he is still unwilling to give up these so-called two cities.
What great things can such a person achieve?!
Just when he was about to turn around and leave, Xia Yan spoke at this moment.
"Although I won't return to the city, I will never give up Luo... no, my father-in-law."
Yes, even if there is no way to return the city, it definitely does not mean that Xia Yan will give up on Eunuch Luo.
Hearing this, a light flashed in Luo Yong's eyes, and he asked with some doubts: "If you don't return the city, how will you prepare, Your Majesty? Is it possible to attack the city by force?"
Today, there are more than 150,000 defenders in Nirvana City. A forced attack will inevitably lead to a long tug-of-war and huge losses.
Even if Huo Qubing really relied on hundreds of thousands of people to capture Nirvana City, it would take at least half a month at the earliest.
By that time, not to mention the corpse, I'm afraid it will all turn into a pile of bones.
Xia Yan shook his head, "Sect Master Luo, from now on you only need to tell your brothers in the city to find a safe place and wait quietly for three days. Within three days, I will find a way to break the city."
Saying this, a look of determination appeared on Xia Yan's face. Luo Yong was about to speak but shut his mouth after seeing Xia Yan.
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
Just after Luo Yong left, Xia Yan told Huo Qubing his killer weapon.
In the army munitions department, there are still several carts of things that His Majesty the Emperor has deliberately requested must be brought with him, and at the same time, he must not smoke Huazi next to them.
Come to think of it, it's time for these few cars to be put to use.
Xia Yan finally told Huo Qubing all about the effects of gunpowder and made a simple version of a grenade in front of him.
"Look, as long as the ignition fuse is made slightly longer, the explosion time will be slightly delayed."
Sure enough, after learning about the role of gunpowder, Huo Qubing's face showed unconcealable excitement.
In this era of cold weapons, how terrifying would it be if something like a grenade appeared?
Defend the city? Just throw dozens of grenades up the city wall and no one will dare to defend it.
If this is the case, a ladder can be set up and soldiers can climb up the city gate in a steady stream.
After simply telling Huo Qubing the principle, Xia Yan's expression became solemn at this moment.
Xia Yan would know how much damage it would cause if he told Huo Qubing about this killer weapon.
But now he has begun to consider one thing, that is, if he chooses to stay in Daxia and no longer blindly subjugate the country, he will inevitably continue to expand Daxia.
Although the high technology and a small goal in the previous life are indeed extremely tempting.
But now that I have Su Yue, this is the biggest reason to stay.
With Su Yue, everything can be temporarily put aside.
Every time he and Daxia become stronger, the hope of being able to protect Su Yue in the future increases.
After making all these preparations, Xia Yan no longer commanded from the front line and left alone.
In terms of military affairs, I am nothing short of a scumbag in front of this S boss, and there is no need for my involvement here.
That night, Xia Yan did not leave the military camp, but stood silently at a sentry tower looking at Nirvana City.
Nirvana City, once the most prosperous symbol of the entire Divine Phoenix Empire, was now engulfed in countless flames.
The ground was shaking, blazing heat swept through the city, and countless people screamed in pain.
The night that should have been silent and dark was also dyed red at this moment. The fire was not only on the city walls, but also on many houses in the city.
After entering the city wall and opening the city gate, Huo Qubing had ordered people to be careful with the houses as much as possible, but he still caused a lot of damage.
The original palace of Nirvana City was now in a state of devastation. The defenders who originally wanted to resist were now fleeing in all directions. Many people simply chose to kneel down and surrender.
For those who surrender, the Daxia army will also show the greatest tolerance and choose not to kill them all.
Nirvana City, which Xia Yan originally said would take three days to capture, only took one night under the leadership of Huo Qubing.
Of course, the price is quite high.
The once-imperial city now has no trace of its prosperity, and there are only refugees and dilapidated houses scattered around.
Looking at such a scene, Xia Yan also fell into deep thought.
What would be the point of such a war if we end up with an empty city without people?
Fortunately, Eunuch Luo's body was eventually found. Xia Yan did not choose to let Luo Yong take it away, but decided to take it back to Daxia himself.
He said in a deep voice to Shen Jingbing, who had now become his follower: "Find a few people to send Eunuch Luo's body back, and see him off as a prince."
As for his relationship with Su Yong, Xia Yan finally decided to obey Eunuch Luo's wishes and help him hide it.
Watching the coffin gradually move away towards Daxia, Xia Yan also whispered silently in his heart.
