Liu Ruyan was about to get up, but someone patted her on the shoulder behind her back.
She turned around and saw that it was a gray-haired grandmother.
The grandma sighed: "The mother and daughter are also pitiful people. The husband died in battle, and even the brothers did not come back alive. The huge family now has only this pair of orphans and widows."
The grandma helped her tears and whispered: "I know that Mr. Liu is kind-hearted and has been unrestrained in the past. If Mr. Liu is willing to save the people of Jinyang City, we must be grateful."
Ye Xun showed up and pointed at the grandma with his finger: "What an old guy, he dares to play moral kidnapping. Host, don't listen to her. What does this group of people have to do with you whether they live or die!"
"The Liu family's ancestors have their own words, loyalty and strategy, and it is unfavorable to be righteous. No matter when and where, we should serve the country."
Ye Xun shook his head: "Don't forget that the country has changed hands and the Han emperor has abandoned the country and ignored it. What do you care about these people?"
Liu Ruyan smiled relievedly: "The reason why the Liu family really wants to protect the country is just the people under this country."
It’s a pity that I’m sorry for Chen Yanchu.
From now on, I can't be with you, spending time and year after year.
Qiushi, Baizhi, Dong Qingxian, Gongshuyu, Jin is not exchanged, I hope you will take care of it.
"You really want to go?" Dong Qingxian asked suddenly.
"I've decided." Seeing the man pursing his lips tightly and looking very sad, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Why do you show this kind of expression? You're not going to die? When I go there, I will act according to the opportunity. .”
Well, take a step first.
"So you're serious?"
“It’s true.”
Liu Ruyan smiled and continued, "By the way, there is another thing I want to ask Brother Dong, just under the locust tree on the west side of the city wall, there is a secret passage that leads to the outside of the city. This city is afraid It's impossible to keep."
Dong Qingxian wondered: "Why?"
She said cautiously: "Three days later, the Emperor of Song will issue an edict to abolish the city. If you don't leave any land, you will be able to eliminate the dragon energy. You will take people out of Jinyang to avoid the unrestrained disaster."
Destroying the city is of great importance. Dong Qingxian didn't know that she would predict it without knowing it, but just thought that she had received some news.
"Okay." He nodded.
Liu Ruyan was about to get up, but the grandmother reached out to hold her, as if she had something to say.
She approached and heard the grandmother mutter: "Good child, the road ahead is still long. Don't worry about others, but you should also think more about yourself."
Liu Ruyan looked at the grandma, and a trace of doubt flashed through her heart.
The crowd caused a commotion, and Captain Qian raised his head and shouted, "Are you all impatient to live?!"
In the huge open space, hundreds of people were squatting.
Liu Ruyan stood among the crowd, wearing black clothes and flew like the wind, and was eye-catching.
Captain Qian stared at her and listened to the "young man"'s message.
"I am the one you are looking for, and I have nothing to do with the rest of the people!"
Captain Qian surrounded the girl in his arms and glanced at her sideways: "You said you are Liu Ruyan, what is the evidence?"
The "Young man" glanced at him and said instead: "I will let that girl go first, I have my own way to verify it."
Captain Qian let go of the girl, and the little girl ran straight towards the widow, so scared that she didn't even dare to cry, and hid in the woman's arms foolishly.
"It's your turn!" Captain Qian urged.
Liu Ruyan walked closer a few steps and showed off a Hanyue scimitar. Before the soldiers defended, he spoke: "I believe someone can recognize my knife."
The soldiers came forward and pointed at him on the spot: "It was him. I saw this knife when I was in Yangmayuan!"
Liu Ruyan put her knife into the sheath.
"I won't take this person down yet!" Captain Qian shouted coldly.
Liu Ruyan didn't say a word and let the soldiers put iron to her.
"Child—" Grandma shouted behind her back.
Liu Ruyan's eyebrows and eyes were slightly tilted. Seeing the grandmother staggeringly chasing her, her turbid eyes looked at her with a pair of turbid eyes.
"Child, we don't think about this. If you want to blame me, just blame me, the old woman."
Liu Ruyan turned her eyes and her eyes penetrated the crowd, and she actually laughed out loud, with a little relief in her smile.
"It's over, and I have no complaints in my heart." She said and walked away.
Within half an hour, the new emperor issued two decrees: the scout Liu Ruyan ambushed and killed our general, refused to surrender, and asked to behead him in the afternoon. The old capital Jinyang will move to the city from now on.
Thousands of miles away, Chen Yanchu traveled day and night, and felt more and more uneasy in his heart.
He asked Ling Yun to stay in Jinyang, but he did not receive a reply for more than a month.
He inquired about the news along the way, from the trapped city to the fall of the city, he met refugees who escaped from the city one after another. He learned from the refugees that some elderly, weak women and children were still in the city without relatives. inside.
As for Liu Ruyan's whereabouts, nothing was found.
"I heard that the new emperor is also looking for the young master of the Liu family." A man knew some inside information, "The city gate is very tightly guarded, and anyone who disguises himself will take it down. We have finally found it city."
Chen Yanchu frowned. He still had three days left Jinyang. If any changes occur within these three days, he would not dare to imagine the consequences.
At noon, when the sun is in full swing.
The executioner executed countless executions, but today he was scared.
There is a word-of-mouth taboo in their industry. If the prisoner is wronged before his life, the executioner will be plagued by resentful ghosts. What's more, the prisoner who is going to die today is a loyal and kind descendant. Who doesn't know that he went to the execution ground for the sake of the people of the whole city?
Killing a righteous man will be punished.
The executioner frowned bitterly, secretly glanced at the slaughtered master and sighed.
Liu Ruyan knelt on the execution ground with her hair messy covering her face.
She looked at the ants crawling in front of her, hiking around in the cracks of sand and gravel, and seemed to know nothing about what was happening outside. If it were normal, she would have scooped a scoop of water and poured it into the ant hole, and then Watch them struggling in the water casually, trying their best to get a glimmer of hope.
Just like her.
But after struggling for so many years, she suddenly felt tired.
"The time has come!"
The executioner tightened his palms, raised his knife high, but his voice changed: "General Liu, I offended you."
Liu Ruyan raised her face and glanced at him.
The man's rough face hit his eyes, and behind him was the clear blue sky.
The sky is high and the blue is dazzling.
It turns out that the sky here is so beautiful and blue, no wonder it can give birth to such a pure person.
She remembered all the time before and quietly lowered her head.
Girl, I have paid off your love at the beginning...
The flood rushed over, rolling up countless mud and sand, and a layer of dark brown mud. The water poured into the city and spread around. The streets, alleys, buildings, and palaces were covered by the flood in an instant, and there was no time to leave the city. The people sank to the bottom of the water and suddenly lost their lives.
Liu Ruyan held her breath and digged up the water hard. The water came too hard and she couldn't exert force.
When she put all her strength into the water, a ray of sunlight made her eyes hurt.
