In the main hall of the Stygian Water Palace, Xuan Tiangang sat on the dragon chair, wearing a royal robe and a crown, and became the focus of attention of the ministers.

As the youngest emperor in the Zhao Continent today, there was no panicked look on his face. On the contrary, his eyes flashed with high-spirited fighting intent, and the whole person looked extremely excited. It doesn't get any better opportunity than this.

Replace the former chosen son, even override Xie Yun's glory, crush all doubts, and win or fail in this battle!

At this moment, his gaze swept over the ministers below one by one, and his gaze full of longing and desire invisibly brought huge pressure, and the ministers did not dare to look at him. In the end, his gaze stopped on Brother Zi and Zhuge Oi.

He said lightly: "Lord Situ, the commander of Brother Zi said that you collaborated with the enemy and rebelled, but is there such a thing?"

Zhuge was shocked, and countless thoughts turned in his heart in an instant, he thought that he was acting in secret and was extremely secretive, how could he be known by Brother Zi?

Xuan Tiangang smiled faintly and said, "If there is no such thing, Lord Situ can just tell me directly, I believe Lord Situ." His smile was gentle and sincere.

Zhuge Ai turned his heart sideways, and Brother Zi of the Heart Dao must have no evidence, otherwise there would be no question about Xuan Tiangang. I was about to shake my head and deny it, but I heard Xuan Tiangang say coldly:

"If Lord Situ didn't rebel, then it would be Brother Zi who had falsely accused the minister, come on, drag Brother Zi down and behead him!"

Zhuge Ai was shocked! Who is Brother Zi? That is Zhao Guogong's son-in-law, Xuan Tiangang's absolute confidant, and it can be said that he is the only one. How could he possibly kill him?

Sure enough, Brother Zi's face was as usual, and he stood still motionless. And the other Manchu civil and military people all knelt down and begged for their lives: "Your Majesty must not, the leader of Brother Zi has the heavy responsibility of the country, and he can't be killed!"

Zhuge Ai's face suddenly turned to ashes, and he knew that Brother Zi's words were ironclad evidence, and there was no possibility of quibbling.

Brother Zi suddenly drew his sword out of the sheath, pointed at Zhuge Oi and said coldly: "Lord Yang has a friend like you, it's really insulting to him!"

Zhuge Ai knelt on the ground with a thud, trembling: "The minister is confused for a while, Your Majesty spares his life!"

Xuan Tiangang put away his smiling face at this point: "Tell the truth everything you and Yao Wuyi conspired to, and I will leave you with all your corpses!"

Zhuge Ai raised his head in horror, and was about to say something, but he heard Brother Zi's cold reminder: "Don't forget your precious son!"

"I said, I said. Zhuge Oi replied dejectedly.

After a stick of incense, Xuan Tiangang, Brother Zi and many generals all came to the square outside the hall. There were the last 80,000 elites of the Stygian Water, and a group of masked men in black.

Xuan Tiangang looked at the dense crowd in front of him, and his heart swelled with infinite pride, and he said loudly: "Generals, follow me to kill the enemy!"

"Swear to follow!"

The roar shook the sky.

Under the blood-colored city wall, a large number of people who escaped from the south gate last night were blocked out of the city wall, and the recruit captain handed Yang Li's token over to no avail. I only got a cold reply: "Please leave quickly!"

Seeing that Yao Wuyi's army was about to be killed, the people under the city walls were anxious and kept begging, but they never got any response.

After a while, suddenly a soldier on the city tower shouted, "Who is Liu Ying?

Liu Ying was overjoyed, and immediately helped her grandmother to hurry to the entrance, and the other crowd immediately swarmed together when they heard it. The instinct to survive made these ordinary people a lot more crazy, and they did not flinch even in the face of the pursuit of sticks, and finally used a large number of soldiers to forcibly close the entrance.

A total of more than 200 people, including Liu Ying, entered the inside of the blood-colored city wall, and there were more hopeless crowds outside, and people began to curse and curse those in power.

"Why should the powerful go in and we have to wait outside to die?"

"If the first emperor was alive, he would never do this!"

"You will be punished!"

“...”

When Xuan Tiangang came to the city wall, he saw the scene in front of him, his face was gloomy, if this matter was spread, it would be a huge blow to his prestige, so he asked in a deep voice: "Why didn't anyone tell me that so many people had not been settled?"

He looked at Brother Zi angrily, and then looked at Mi'e beside him, only to see that both of them shook their heads, so he understood that there was no room for so many people. There were more than 80,000 soldiers within the city walls, plus more than 200,000 members of the royal family, ministers and families, nobles and other wealthy merchants and ordinary people, which was an incomparably huge burden.

In order to ensure the supply of food and grass for the soldiers, they had to be abandoned. Xuan Tiangang is not an indecisive person, since he has figured it out, he will ignore it again. Instead, he went to inspect the garrisons, and he would not rest until the enemy was defeated.

Xuan Tiangang's presence in person greatly boosted the morale of the generals and soldiers, and all the previous speculations and dissatisfaction also dissipated a lot at the moment when he personally beat the war drums. Unite and wait for the arrival of the enemy army.

During this period, Liu Ying and his grandmother were driven out of the city again, and it turned out that the reason why she was let in was because of Zhuge Renkuan's intentions, and he wanted to use this to blackmail Liu Ying into committing to him. Liu Ying was disgusted with his ugly face, thinking of Li Qiu and Liu Hu, who were uncertain about their life and death, and they categorically rejected him.

When I came to the outside of the city walls, I saw people with dull eyes and completely lost hope. Now that Xuan Tiangang has abandoned them, what hope do they have.

Liu Ying remembered the Forgotten Worry Mountain on the outskirts of the city, discussed it with the captain of the new barracks, and decided to take everyone there to hide. However, Forget Worry Mountain is in the southeastern suburbs, and it is likely that Yao Wuyi's army will be encountered when returning at this time, and only 20,000 or 30,000 people are willing to follow.

The remaining 100,000 people, some sat in place and cried, some tried to climb the blood-colored wall, and most chose to flee to the desperate valley to the west.

However, the panicked crowd was too crowded and chaotic, and the speed was too slow after all. When the hour first arrived, he could already see the billowing smoke and dust behind him, and the entire imperial city seemed to tremble under the iron hooves. At this time, 70,000 or 80,000 people were still stranded.

People were desperate to find that the butcher Yao Wuyi was here, and Yao Wuyi led an army of 250,000 to arrive first!

On the other side, Chu Feiyan and more than 1,000 people who survived the catastrophe were hiding in a trench two miles away.

They were stunned by what they saw outside the south gate, the castle tower was densely covered with corpses, the moat was red and black, and the corpses of countless soldiers on both sides were floating on it, and there was a monstrous smell of fish.

The ruined walls were riddled with holes, and the saltpeter-burned gates were left with countless fragments piled up there, and dried blood stains spread from the towers to the ground, like a long red snake.

As the temperature rose, countless mosquitoes stared at the corpses, and several vultures had already smelled the rancid smell circling in the air.

Three days of violent corpses, throwing corpses in the wilderness, the most cruel scene happened in front of him, who can be indifferent? let alone a young man with strong blood. At this moment, they were no longer afraid of personal death, and Chu Feiyan's existence gave them inexplicable confidence.

"Young Marshal, please lead us to take the city gate back!" Wu Fang officially handed over the command to Chu Feiyan.

"Okay!", Chu Feiyan's eyes glowed with a cold light.
