Ji Yao's hoarse voice was muffled by the footsteps of thousands of soldiers, and under such a night, she squatted on the edge of the stone pillar alone and couldn't cry herself.

Along the way, everyone around her left her, thinking back to what she had done these days, there was really nothing worth remembering, she had always been deeply trapped in hatred and couldn't extricate herself, until she jumped out of the circle of hatred, she suddenly understood what she wanted.

But it was too late...... Too late......

If such a big thing hadn't happened, she wouldn't have come to her senses so quickly, and she wouldn't have understood so quickly what she wanted and what she should do?

Therefore, things in this world are always so coincidental, always one step short, and every time, this step is enough to cause a lifetime of regret.

Tonight's battle is too important, although there is little hope, but fortunately, Liu Xun and Zhou Zilai can take the opportunity to drag the people outside, so as to hold on until Chang Jiyang leads the troops back to Jinling.

"Your Majesty, the thief is only three miles away from the palace!"

The person who came rushed in in a hurry, and after reporting this sentence, everyone's hearts rose to their throats, and this speed was inevitably too fast.

"How can this be? The emperor has obviously sent all the available military attaches in the court, according to the budget, it should be able to last until tonight, how come it is that only six hours have passed, and there is only such a little distance left!"

"yes, that's weird, unless...... Unless the manager has ......"

When the Ministry of Labor said this, he noticed that everyone was casting unfathomable glances at him, and immediately stopped talking, and to say such things at this time is tantamount to adding to the chaos.

Ji Yao was shocked, she couldn't believe that things were really as the Ministry of Works waiter said, and one of her lips was bitten tightly by her, and she actually bit blood.

Because the waiter of the Ministry of Works opened his mouth at an inopportune time, the ministers who were still talking about it stopped talking at once, and the atmosphere was very solemn for a while.

"If the palace doesn't ......" was silent for a long time before someone couldn't help but speak again, but a louder voice immediately jumped out of the crowd, "Okay, now is not the time to talk about this!

The minister who was cut off was a little displeased when he heard this: "Peace of mind? I don't know how Lord Yushi was able to say these two words calmly! The current situation is so grim, who doesn't know, who doesn't know, why deceive yourself and say some comforting words to deceive everyone!"

"You...... What do you think? Could it be that, like you, always thought that it was going to be over, and everyone hugged each other and cried and waited for death? We must not lose any hope until the last moment! I believe that General Chang will definitely be able to rush back in the shortest possible time!"

Lord Yushi unceremoniously slammed back, and the few officials who had just held back and did not speak quickly divided into two factions and debated fiercely.

The hall was chaotic for a while, and the emperor looked at these scenes in front of him weakly, and wanted to open his mouth to dissuade him, but he was powerless.

This country, falling into his hands, will develop into what it is now, the emperor really didn't expect it, and he has never been able to react.

In the end, King Ding couldn't help but speak, he slapped the table heavily and got up: "Shut up! When is it, and now there is still infighting? Aren't you afraid that your bones will be trampled and thrown into the wild ditch by the people outside?!"

The quarrelling hall was quiet all of a sudden, everyone looked at King Ding, there was some uneasiness and incomprehension in their eyes, King Ding's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and said loudly: "Look at how many capable warriors are still in this hall? You are all officials of the imperial court, and you have always worked hard for the imperial court, and the entire Great Song Dynasty was created by you together! Now is the most critical time for the Great Song Dynasty, shouldn't you contribute to the Great Song Dynasty together?"

Many people lowered their heads when they heard this, and some of the people who bowed their heads were because they were ashamed, while the other part was because they didn't want to leave the main hall and go out to kill the enemy.

King Ding continued: "If the palace is lost, this king will be the first to go out to kill the enemy, and everyone present, who is willing to follow this king?"

As soon as King Ding's words came out, there was silence in the hall, and after a short silence, a voice with a low pitch but a very firm voice came out: "The folk girl Ji Yao is willing to dedicate her blood to the Great Song Dynasty!"

Ji Yao's words were like a boulder falling into the rivers and lakes, instantly stirring up countless splashes, a woman can still do this, how can those strong and powerful men have the face to say that they can't do it?

"Minister Xu Shibo is willing to follow His Royal Highness King Ding to kill the enemy, unless he destroys all traitors, he will never take a step back!"

"Minister...... Zhu Youliang is willing!"

"Minister...... Fang Weiyun is willing!"

As long as one person speaks, it will naturally drive everyone's emotions, and the people who are still arguing immediately become enthusiastic, and one by one they grit their teeth and spit out their loyalty vows.

The emperor, who was originally slumped on the throne, saw this scene in front of him, and the shock in his heart was really indescribable, he looked at everything that happened in front of him incredibly, and even more incredibly looked at King Ding, who was not valued on weekdays, and his cloudy old eyes suddenly burst out with a little light!

"Ladies and gentlemen. The emperor suddenly trembled and got up, everyone looked up at the emperor when they heard the words, they didn't know what the emperor wanted to say, only to see the emperor bowing to the people in front of him, and said in a trembling voice, "Great Song Jiangshan, please Aiqing!"

"The ministers must do their best for the Great Song Dynasty and die!"

Seeing the high-ranking emperor actually make such a move towards himself, everyone was shocked, and everyone bowed to the emperor almost at the same time, spit out this majestic sentence.

"The Emperor's !!"

Another soldier rushed over in a hurry, and everyone's hearts were in their throats, but their eyes were 100,000 resolute, because they were already sure in their hearts that even if something happened that they didn't want it to happen, they would definitely do everything to protect Jinling City.

"Say!" the Emperor spat out a word in no uncertain terms.

"Rebels...... The rebels have arrived at the gates of the palace...... General Zhou and his 3,000 elite soldiers were unfortunately killed, and His Royal Highness King An is leading the remaining 2,000 soldiers to resist stubbornly!"

Ji Yao was very excited when she heard the news that Liu Xun had not yet had an accident, and before she could react, the emperor asked again: "Then do you know how many rebels are left?"

"According to His Royal Highness King An's estimate...... At least...... At least thirty thousand ......"
