In order to resist the attack of the other party, Li Kui personally put on armor to the head of the city, and supervised the soldiers to meet the enemy with a long knife.

At this point, Li Kui could see that the Zhongzhou army was determined to fight him, and the matter of Han Yuan's withdrawal from Nanping had not yet reached here, and he did not know that reinforcements were coming.

At the head of the city, after paying a huge price, the Chu army finally resisted the attack of the Zhongzhou army again.

"Daddy! Otherwise, let's go down! Everyone has defended the city for Han Ziliang until now, and it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous! Li Jing knelt in front of Li Kui covered in blood and pleaded loudly.

Li Su also knelt aside, and said with tears in his eyes: "Dad! Where there is life, there is hope! If our father and son can't even save their lives, what's the use of leaving a name in history? ”

Li Kuitie blushed and said to the two: "You don't understand, there is a saying that a soldier dies for a confidant." Your father and I were originally just eight heads who ate imperial food, and we didn't have much ambition in this life. But God just let your father meet Han won, this person is your father's Bole, so that your father's skills have a place to use, and your father has already decided to sell this life to him, so this time your father and I can't go, let alone surrender! ”

"Daddy! Why are you so stubborn? Can't you just listen to your son's persuasion once? Li Jing's eyes cracked, and he almost roared.

Li Kui lightly punched him and said with a smile: "Good boy, your wings are stiff, dare to argue with your father?" Listen, while it's dark tonight, I will arrange for the two of you to sneak out of the city, and after you get out of the city, one of you will flee south to find Han won, and the other will run north to vote for Bai Junwu. ”

"Dad, aren't you with us?" Li Su said in surprise.

Li Kui shook his head and said, "Dad has decided to die with the city, you don't have to say it anymore." ”

Li Su wanted to persuade him again, but Li Jing stopped him and pulled him to kowtow a few times.

"Dad, you want one of us to go to Han Won, and the other to vote for Bai Junwu, what does this mean?" Li Jing asked.

Li Kui nodded and said, "Good boy, good question." Dad asked you to vote for the two, in fact, it is also for the sake of our Li family. Although your father and I are optimistic about Han Yuan, but after all, he is alone, only one state, and his back is under the enemy, in case I look away, I am afraid that my Li family will be extinct from now on, this is what I mean by letting one of your brothers go to Bai Junwu. ”

Li Su couldn't understand: "Dad, if we go to Bai Junwu, will he accept us?" After all, our father and son have been working against him in Bei'an Mansion, how could he take us in regardless of his previous suspicions? ”

Li Jing had tears in his eyes and said, "This must be because my father promised Bai Junwu and let him lead his troops to break the city tomorrow, Dad, am I right?" ”

Li Kui was pleased: "Jing'er has grown up. ”

That night, Li Jing and Li Su went out at night, Li Jing went south to find Han won, and Li Su went north to Bai Junwu.

The next day, the city of Bei'an was 'breached' by the Zhongzhou army, and Li Kui led his troops to fight hard in the city, and finally died of exhaustion.

When Han Yuan led his troops to Bei'an, the Zhongzhou army had all withdrawn, and the entire Bei'an Province was in a mess. More than 30,000 Chu troops were wiped out, and Li Kui's body was also found from the ruins.

Han Yuan couldn't help but feel heartache and self-blame, if it weren't for the fact that he had delayed a day in the state city for his wife's affairs, maybe Li Kui would not have ended up like this.

Because Li Jing escaped before the city was broken, Han Yuan handed over Li Kui's body to him to deal with, and the cost of dealing with the aftermath was paid by Han Yuan.

As for Li Su's whereabouts, Han Yuan did not know, Li Jing only said that his younger brother disappeared in the chaos, and Han Yuan had no other choice but to send people around to find him.

In the south, Sun Xun had to return to Yizhou because of the attack on his lair; In the north, after Bai Junwu broke through the capital city, he knew that he was invincible to Han Won and withdrew north.

At this point, the biggest crisis that the won has encountered along the way has finally come to an end.

And this time, God did not favor Han Won as always, not only taking away the most important woman in his life, but also causing him to lose a fierce general with both civil and military skills.

It's just that Han Won, as the lord of a state, has no time to indulge in grief excessively, and he has more important things to do.

After returning to the state capital, he first hurriedly presided over Jiang Luoyue's funeral, and then personally attended Li Kui's funeral.

Chuzhou, which was already in a state of decay, was made worse by this war, and despite the assistance of Zhu Yifeng and a group of staff, Han Yuan still felt anxious.

…

Hou Mansion. It was late at night, and the lights were still on in Han won's bedroom, and he was still lying on his desk, processing the instructions sent by the counties.

Because he was worried about seeing things and thinking about people, Han Yuan specially moved out of the original house with Jiang Luoyue and moved into a new room. The original bedroom was sealed up by him, and no one was allowed to enter it without his permission.

Because of the sadness in his heart, Han Yuan deliberately worked himself every day, and only when he had something to do at hand could he temporarily restrain his thoughts, not let himself think about Yue'er, and not let himself recall the past.

After Jiang Luoyue died, Lin Miao wanted to find an opportunity to accompany Han Yuan instead of her, but she was worried that Han Yuan would resist, so she had to focus more on taking care of Jiang Luoyue's son first.

Although Lin Miao is unemployed and doesn't know what it's like to be a mother, the son left by Jiang Luoyue makes her like it, almost treating him as her own son.

Because Jiang Luoyue died in childbirth, her son was born without milk, and Lin Miao immediately ordered someone to go to the city to find a wet nurse to breastfeed. In addition, Lin Miao stays by the baby's side almost every day, just like his biological mother.

Because of Lin Miao's careful care, Jiang Luoyue's widow is finally fine.

For Han Yuan, he didn't want to see anything about Jiang Luoyue, including that she left a child for himself, at least for now.

So, until now, he has not named his child, and it seems that he does not care about this matter at all.

On the other side, the old man Jiang Feng was overly sad because of the death of his daughter, and he actually had a serious illness, and he was about to die.

When the news reached the Hou Mansion, Han Yuan was eating alone in the study, and after hearing the report of the people, the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground all of a sudden.

"Prepare the horse, I'm going to Gaoyang."

…

When Han Won arrived at the Jiang Mansion in Goyang County, Jiang Feng had already reached the point of running out of oil and lamps.

"Xian, virtuous son-in-law..."On the sickbed, Jiang Feng opened his cloudy eyes and struggled to call.

Han Yuan hurriedly walked up to him and said, "Uncle Yue, the son-in-law is here." ”

Jiang Feng grabbed Han Yuan tightly with one hand, and said with a faint breath: "Xian, virtuous son-in-law, old man... No, there are two things I want to ask you for..."

"Father-in-law, please speak, and the son-in-law will definitely do it." Han Won's face was solemn.

"First things first, my family's Yue'er... Life is hard, I went first, I hope you can, you can take good care of my grandson. ”

"Don't worry, that's Yue'er and the son-in-law, how can the son-in-law not hurt."

Jiang Feng nodded with difficulty, and said slowly: "The second thing, old man, there are only two... Daughter, the old man is gone, and the most reassuring thing is the little girl's frost. Hopefully, I hope you can find a good family for her and get married. ”

"Dad, you and your sister are so ruthless, leaving me alone in the world, without relatives and for no reason, woo..."

Han Yuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, my son-in-law will take care of Sister Shuang'er." ”

Seeing that he had promised him, Jiang Feng finally put his mind at ease, lay quietly and stopped talking, and swallowed his breath after a while.

Except for Jiang Feng and his two daughters, there was no one else in the Jiang family, and Han Yuan had to stay in the name of half a filial son to deal with the aftermath for Jiang Feng.

After everything was in order, because he promised Jiang Feng to take care of the second lady, Han Yuan simply took Jiang Luoshuang back to live in the state city.
