Finally, Bai Suyan heard the order to rest. She almost fell off the horse, but with her last bit of ridiculous dignity, she grabbed the reins tightly and didn't fall off.
"Okay, okay, let go." Jianjia walked over slowly and patted her hands, which were full of blue veins. She pulled her off the horse, helped her to sit down, and handed her a water bag.
Bai Suyan took the water bag with trembling hands, but she didn't have the strength to bring it to her mouth. In the end, Jianjia had to feed her. After calming down, Bai Suyan asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do in the future?"
Jianjia said indifferently, "Go out and have a look. The world is so big. I want to go out and see. Maybe I'll catch something I like and keep it as a pet. I'll throw it away when I'm tired of it."
Bai Suyan curled her lips. She was a bit envious of Jianjia and Wen Wu, who were free and easy. When they wanted to do something, they didn't care about anything. When they left, they just turned around and left. She couldn't do that, because she was afraid that when she helped His Majesty completely destroy the power of the noble families, there would only be her and Concubine Jing left.
Compared to Concubine Jing, she had no advantage at all. Even if she died in the name of the empress, Concubine Jing was already a dead person. There was no way she wouldn't be able to take care of things after death. So … Concubine Jing had to die. Even if she died with her, she had to die!
Jianjia saw the viciousness in her eyes and knew what she was planning. But it didn't matter as long as it wasn't aimed at her.
Bai Suyan rushed almost day and night. It took her five horses to get to Yan Province. Before she came, she already knew about the situation in Yan Province. When she saw it with her own eyes, she was still a bit shocked. A group of people were hanging on the city wall of Yan Province. They were a group of ordinary people in ragged clothes. The cries of women, old people, and children were mixed together, which made people's faces pale.
"Is King Youan crazy?" Of course, Luo Shuangyin was mentally prepared, but when she saw it for herself, she couldn't help but feel indignant. These were just ordinary civilians, and King You An was clearly thinking of harming himself and his enemies. He didn't want anything in return, but did he want the whole world to die with him?
"Let's go to the camp."
Because they were worried about the civilians on the city walls, the House of Bai and the Sky Bearing Army could not take action and could only hide in the shadows. Furthermore, Bai Luoyan personally led a small team of a hundred men and sacrificed almost 60% of them to burn the enemy's rations and bring back more than ten civilians from the northern gate.
However, even without food, King You An didn't have any intention of opening the city gates. He continued to order people to hang up the empty places and then set up big pots on the city walls to cook the people. Da Qing's side didn't even dare to imagine what would happen in the city when they didn't see it.
Old General Bai also wanted to give up on the civilians on the city walls and attack directly. However, King Youan actually colluded with the remnants of Đại Việt. Đại Việt sent out Priest Zhi Tian Ming to set up a maze formation. Once one stepped into the formation, it would be like stepping into a fog, making one dizzy and in danger.
What's worse was that this formation only had no effect on one person — Bai Luoyan. However, everyone else was trapped in the formation and lost contact with him. Every time, his opponent was Zhi Tian Ming. Zhi Tian Ming seemed to want to capture him alive, so he left some leeway. Bai Luoyan took the opportunity to injure Zhi Tian Ming, but he was also seriously injured and had to retreat on his horse.
When Bai Suyan heard that her brother was seriously injured, she wanted to go to his tent immediately. However, she forced herself to stop. She was Xia Zhi now, not Bai Suyan.
Old General Bai was already old, and now he looked even older, "The maze formation is actually not difficult to break. As long as we can break the formation eye or know the specific arrangement of the Eight Trigrams, I can also enter the formation to check it out. Unfortunately, the maze formation's biggest feature is to stop the army. One wrong step and you will be cut up and eaten."
Luo Shuang sneered, "Then we can only enter the formation and break the maze formation first. Then we can attack the city. After a short rest, I will go personally!"
An officer subconsciously said, "No, King Ji Le's body is priceless …"
"Shut up. If you say another word, you will go," Luo Shuang sneered impatiently. She turned to her deputy general and said, "Wen Tu, go and pick ten people. After a short while, prepare to break the formation. All of you go together." The last sentence was said to Jianjia and Bai Suyan. The two women acted indifferent, but Bai Suyan was a little absent-minded.
After leaving the tent, Bai Suyan looked at Bai Luoyan's tent worriedly. Jianjia asked casually, "What will you do later?"
Bai Suyan was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Jianjia said, "Based on what you said just now, it is obvious that Destiny Zhi did something. Only people with the blood of the royal family of Đại Việt can directly ignore the maze formation. Right Guardian of Dharma was seriously injured by Destiny Zhi. If you go in like this, it is no different from suicide, right?"
Bai Suyan was silent for a while. Suddenly, she smiled and said, "Jianjia, thank you." Jianjia was left standing in the same place with a puzzled expression.
After a short while —
Just as Old General Bai said, Bai Suyan rushed over, but the people who were with her were all gone. The gate of Yan Province was now wide open. Inside, there were corpses everywhere. The corpses hanging on the wall had been there for a long time. Flies were buzzing around the corpses. Those who were still alive were holding and gnawing on someone's flesh. Their eyes were red like evil ghosts.
Bai Suyan could not tell whether this was real or fake, or another illusion formation. She controlled the horse and slowly walked into Yan Province City. Along the way, there were piles of bones, mountains of corpses, and seas of blood. It was like purgatory.
"So it turns out that all the beautiful flowers in bloom have been destroyed like this." It was obvious that this opera was sung with a pinched voice. It was very strange, but it used a lot of internal energy. It echoed in Yan Province City.
Bai Suyan bit her lip and turned the horse's head towards the direction of the voice. It was a stage in the water. A woman dressed as an actress swung her sleeves and sang on the stage, "A silent tour of spring, a small test of spring noodles." Spring, I have to stay with you. How can I spend my time when spring is gone? Cough, such weather, it's so tiring. Where is Chun Xiang? "
The performer looked around and saw Bai Suyan at a glance. He did not react and continued to sing, "Oh my god, the beauty of spring is so annoying, there is no need to believe it! I often read poems and songs. Women in ancient times, because of spring, when they meet autumn, they become resentful. It's not wrong. I am sixteen years old this year, and have not met a good husband. I suddenly fell in love with spring, how can I be a guest of Toad Palace? In the past, Madame Han met Yu Lang, and Zhang Sheng met Lady Cui by chance. They had two books, 'Inscription of the Red Book' and 'Biography of Cui Hui'. This beauty and talent, they secretly arranged a date, and later they both became Qin Jin. "
Bai Suyan kicked the ground and jumped up from the horse. She swept across the water and landed on the stage. When she got closer, she saw that it was not an actress. It was clearly Prince Youan, or maybe it was not. She did not care and continued to sing. "I was born in a family of eunuchs, and grew up in a prestigious family. I am of marriageable age, and if I don't find a good match early, I am truly wasting my youth. Time flies by. It's a pity that my beauty is like a flower, but my life is like a leaf! Tell me, why is that? "The last sentence was like an abandoned wife asking her heartless lover.
Bai Suyan suppressed the emotions in her heart and said, "No matter how much you hate, you shouldn't drag the people of the city down with you. You have hatred in your heart, but how can they not hate you?"
"The little nun is sixteen years old, and her hair was shaved off by her master when she was young. I am a beautiful woman, not a man. Why do I wear a yellow belt around my waist, and wear a straight robe, and when I see couples, I wear a pair of brocade robes … "Luo Shuang staggered a few steps, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth." But I am very happy now, and if I am not happy, you … won't be happy either … "
"Crazy! Where is Zhi Tianming? "
Luo Shuang finally fell on the round-backed chair, and her smile was terrifying. "I tell you, I don't know."
Bai Suyan did not want to waste time with her, so she turned to look for Zhi Tianming. However, she heard her say slowly behind her, "Do you know how he died? I killed him, because … he was too … useless … "
"But in the end, you are still the same. You are just a pawn in someone else's hands, and you can't escape in your life."
"Can't escape?" Luo Shuang rested her head on the armrest of the round-backed chair. "At least … they won't be happy …"
Bai Suyan hated her and felt a little sad at the same time. However, no matter how pitiful Luo Shuang was, she was not worthy of sympathy. She pulled out her sword and cut off her head, holding it in her hand, and then left.
Without Zhi Tian Ming, the maze was nothing more than a decoration. In less than a quarter of an hour, it was broken by Luo Shuang and the rest of the army rushed in. Luo Shuang and Zhi Tian Ming were really ruthless. They didn't care about their own people who were originally in the maze. They were all desperadoes. Most of the people who died in the maze were eaten by them. Some of them even killed and devoured each other.
Luo Shuang led the army to Yanzhou City, only to see "Xia Zhi" holding a head with colorful makeup in her hand. She walked slowly with a solemn face, and the sunlight in the clouds shone on her face, adding an indescribable sadness.
Yanzhou City became a dead city. Previously, everything in the palace was connected, but it turned out that they were all waiting here. Luo Shuang closed her eyes. Princess Lanzhi and Princess Xiangzhu were really good at this. Although Da Qing did not hurt the foundation, if it was not handled well, they would lose the hearts of the people!
