Guo Shao entered the city through the open gate, dismounted from the ramp inside the wall, and went up to the city on foot. This ramp is very wide, at least three carriages can run side by side, in order to facilitate the defenders to quickly move to the city to defend in an emergency. But Guo Shao still walked up, and his entourage only followed from a distance.

Ascending to the high head of the city, the land outside and the countless houses in the city are at your feet, everything is in full view, and with the opening of the line of sight, Guo Shao's mind is also broad.

Strands of soldiers and horses are flooding into the city, spreading through the streets of the city. The black smoke after the burning of the fierce fire oil in the air is filling, like gunsmoke, wrapping around the sky above this rich and magnificent city, pavilions, iron horses, soldiers...... Looking into the distance, the fields and crops in spring are glowing with green, and between the beautiful mountains and rivers, there is no edge in sight of the vast land.

Guo Shao faced the wind blowing in the air, looked at the white clouds slowly surging in the air, and his heart was full of blood, and he couldn't help sighing: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying......"

The entourage behind looked over one after another. Guo Shao temporarily forgot the words behind for a while, and blurted out: "The four seas are borderless!" ”

……

"Boom, boom, boom......" There was a heavy impact sound at the front door of the imperial city, and one after another seemed to hit people's hearts, and every time it shook, Zhou Jiamin's immature body trembled.

At a young age, she had not really seen the madness and brutality of the martial arts, and she did not have the most intuitive fear of the consequences of the destruction of the imperial city. But she was still very scared, afraid of what Li Yu just said, "When the rebels come in, they will set themselves on fire."

There were piles of firewood around the throne, and black oil was poured on it, and Zhou Jiamin was on the chair next to the throne. Li Yu was holding a papier-mâché palace lamp in his hand, and the candle flame was shining inside, Zhou Jiamin's beautiful eyes widened and he kept looking at the lamp.

At first, when Empress Dowager Zhong was here, in order to dissuade Li Yu from burning himself, she said a lot of terrible things. After it burns, the smoke will choke people to vomit out all their internal organs, and their heads will split; The flames burn on the skin, and the heart hurts, and the skin will be roasted ugly, and it will rot from the flesh. After being burned to death, the whole person was wrapped in rotten and dirty black flesh, not human-looking, and there were dirty things that came out of vomiting and diarrhea on his body......

"Ahh Zhou Jiamin suddenly screamed and struggled desperately. But she couldn't break free, and she was tied.

She was caught by the eunuch before, but Li Yu did not ask the eunuch to be buried and burned to death with him (Li Yu was not too cruel most of the time), so in order to prevent Zhou Jiamin from escaping, he tied her to the chair next to her.

Nine-year-old Zhou Jiamin had her hands and feet tied, and the chair she was sitting on was very heavy, no matter how hard she struggled, the skin on her wrists was worn by the rope. She was hurt and scared, cried, turned her head to Li Yu and cried: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you let me go, you let me go......"

Li Yu was expressionless and ignored it at all, his dejected expression froze on his face, as if he had settled down.

Zhou Jiamin was hurt at home and in the palace, she was born well, and she was pampered, she originally thought that this world was full of all kinds of strange and wonderful things, but suddenly in such a situation, she felt that the sky had fallen. But she could only cry and make trouble, begging Li Yu to let her go from time to time...... At the same time, I also saw something else in the world for the first time, just like a person who has been walking in the sun, seeing the boundless night.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to be burned." Zhou Jiamin burst into tears, gritting his teeth and desperately trying to get the rope away from his hands and feet.

After some tossing, she realized that the sound of banging on the door disappeared at some point. At this time, the sound of metal grinding was heard, and several big men in iron armor appeared at the entrance of the hall.

Zhou Jiamin didn't know how terrible the people in armor were, she only felt that the palace lamp in Li Yu's hand was terrible, and suddenly shouted in a coquettish voice: "Save me, who will save me, I don't want to be burned to death!" ”

"Haha......" Li Yu, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and laughed, leaning forward and backward with laughter. Zhou Jiamin looked at him in horror, not knowing what was ridiculous in such a situation. He shook his head and said, "You kid, I treat you very much, and you still ask for help from the enemy!" ”

Someone in the big men shouted, "Everyone, beware! There's a pile of firewood in it! ”

They stood at the door of the temple and did not come, and soon more soldiers came to the door and looked inside. Someone said: "The firewood is inside, and when it is burned, it can come out of the door." ”

Zhou Jiamin shouted: "I can't get out, I'm tied up here, please ......"

At this time, someone finally took care of her, and someone asked: "Who is Xiao Niang, and the person sitting above is the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty?" Zhou Jiamin hurriedly replied: "He is the emperor and my brother-in-law." Which of you will save me, I will be burned to death by him! ”

"Sister Tuesday?" A tall man appeared at the door.

A group of military men immediately clenched their fists and bent down: "Guo Dashuai." ”

The man immediately walked in from the door, and a voice hurriedly said: "Guo Dashuai, it is full of firewood, and the Southern Tang Kingdom wants to burn itself, don't go in." ”

"It's okay, firewood is not **." The man said, "He wants to burn himself, why wait until now?" I'll meet him. ”

Zhou Jiamin's eyes widened, expectantly and nervously watching the man and the two sergeants behind him walking towards this side, and he couldn't even speak for a while, just afraid of startling away the person who wanted to save her. Watching him approach step by step, without any intention of retreating, Zhou Jiamin paid attention to the palace lamp while waiting for the people who came over, his nose was sore, and he almost cried again.

A tall and strong figure, and his appearance is different from that of the people seen in the court. When I got a little closer, I saw that he was a young adult, and his face was a little tanned.

The man didn't pay attention to Li Yu, and pulled out his sword from his waist as he walked, approaching cautiously. Li Yu stared, didn't say a word, and didn't move.

The man walked up to Zhou Jiamin with a bright sword, and Zhou Jiamin stared at the bright and sharp sword in horror. He just stepped forward and quickly cut the ropes everywhere, while asking, "Emperor Zhou E is your sister?" ”

Zhou Jiamin nodded hurriedly. The man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's finally ......."

Zhou Jiamin's body was relaxed for a while, and he hurriedly stood up, his feet hurt, and his delicate hands and feet were injured when he struggled just now. But at this time, she was more surprised than painful, and she was relieved at once, as if something had burst from her body, but she cried out with a "wow", and her feet were weak, and she supported the body of this tall and strong man. She was only as tall as a soldier's waist, and she only felt that this person was as tall as a mountain, and very strong, as if she could not shake it. She was not afraid, she felt that he had a smell of sunshine on his body, and he was very stable, so the more Zhou Jiamin cried, the more sad he became.

The military man took a long breath, and Zhou Jiamin felt a rough and warm big hand on his face, and his thumb wiped tears from the corners of her eyes, and she immediately forgot to cry. Although she was only nine years old, no man could touch her like that.

The man seemed to be relaxed and said gently, "It's okay, don't be afraid." You're such a pretty little princess, and there are usually knights to save you. ”

Zhou Jiamin felt that he seemed to understand the meaning, but he didn't seem to understand it very well.

The man didn't say much, turned his head and said, "Qin Shi, you take her out first." ”

"Whoa." One of the people in the back said.

The military man named Guo Dashuai said again: "Sister Tuesday, you and this uncle leave here first, he won't hurt you, don't be afraid, don't run around." ”

Zhou Jiamin obediently followed the old man in armor, walked to the door of the hall, and couldn't help but look back, mainly to see the "hill" that saved her just now. Others may think that she is still a child, but she has long been governor, and at this time she guessed in her heart who that person was...... is the "Guo Blacksmith", the commander of the Zhou army, which is often mentioned in the court, is said to be terrible, but Zhou Jiamin didn't feel it at this time.

But after all, she is not very old, and there are some things that she still can't understand. For example, the brother-in-law sitting on the throne, Zhou Jiamin didn't realize what that person meant to her. At this time, she had some hatred for Li Yu, and when she looked back, she didn't even look at Li Yu.

Walking out of this hall that looked eerie to her, the sunlight outside was shining on her body, and Zhou Jiamin felt that the whole world was warm.
