In the boundless sky, dark clouds cover the sun, and the atmosphere is oppressive and gray.

When Zhao Xinglan set out from Zhao State, he only brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, fought all the way, and constantly absorbed the elite of other countries, and when he arrived in Liang State, there were 50,000 elite soldiers.

The 5,000 Jin family army fought more with less and resisted bravely until the last moment.

General Jin was hit by several arrows, and the moment he fell to the ground, a smile of relief flashed in his eyes. It's better to die in battle than to survive. This is his unwavering life creed, and he has stuck to it.

In this battle, corpses were strewn all over the field and rivers of blood flowed. The strong smell of blood in the air made Bolan almost sick, but fortunately, a heavy rain fell, washing the heavens and the earth again, and also washing away the blood stains of the soldiers who had died in battle.

That night, Bolan sat by the fire in front of the tent in a daze, and Zhao Xinglan handed over a bowl of hot tea and sat beside her.

Bolan thanked softly, took the bowl and took a sip, very silent.

"Did you feel sad about today's battle?"

Zhao Xinglan asked her softly, with a rare tenderness in her voice.

"Hmm." Bolan lowered her eyes, her eyelashes were like a feather fan, casting a shadow, "It's the first time to see so many people die, war, it's really annoying......"

Zhao Xinglan changed the subject: "Do you know? When I was a child, I was very soft-hearted, loved to raise small animals, and even cried guilty when I accidentally stepped on an ant. ”

He flicked the flame casually and continued: "Until my imperial brother is gone, my father told me that the world will count on me in the future, and if I don't change myself, don't say ants and animals, countless people will die at any time." That year, I was six years old, and my childhood ended on that day. ”

Bolan looked at him quietly and waited for the following.

"Without your help, whoever wants to win the world will have to go through one war after another, sacrificing countless soldiers and even people. That is very helpless, but it is necessary, because in the troubled times, only by stopping the war can the world be unified and the people be peaceful. Because of your presence, many wars that were inevitable have been turned into invisibility, and you have saved many. ”

"Ending the war with war?" Bolan Na repeated, thoughtful.

"Yes, in fact, today's battle is inevitable."

"Why?"

"Because you have helped Zhao Guo too much, if you can't persuade you, you will have to stain the holy woman's hands with blood, I can't do it, and the warriors behind me won't agree. May it be surrendered, of course. If you don't want to, then you will fight. For warriors, the battlefield is fate. ”

"Understood." Bolan is relieved a lot.

At some point, the stars filled the sky, giving light to the darkness of the night.

On the second day, the Zhao army attacked the palace of the Liang State.

Emperor Liang was already frightened, and when he saw Zhao Xinglan and Bolan approaching, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, while pointing to an extremely beautiful woman beside him and said: "The prince spares his life, don't kill the orphan!" Lone is willing to give all the gold, silver and jewelry, if the prince likes it, Lone's beloved concubine is also dedicated to you! ”

The woman originally fell to the ground tremblingly, listened to Emperor Liang's words, her figure paused, slowly got up, and looked at Emperor Liang in disbelief: "Your Majesty, you promised to love and protect your concubines, and you will not give up in this life!" The concubine is willing to die with you, but you want to sacrifice me to someone else and live alone? ”

"My life is gone, what can I talk about whether to abandon or not?" Emperor Liang's face was embarrassed and distorted.

The woman laughed suddenly. She knew that Emperor Liang was not a good king, but as a husband, she always thought that he was reliable. He gave her endless love, and vowed countless times to live and die with her in this life.

But it turns out that this promise is more fragile than the wings of a butterfly, and it can't withstand a little wind and rain.

When it came to life and death, he forgot his promise and did not hesitate to sacrifice her to others in order to survive.

The woman approached Emperor Liang, stroked his face, and said word by word: "Your Majesty has forgotten your oath, but the concubine has not forgotten." ”

The sword flashed, and Emperor Liang screamed, with a dagger stuck in his chest.

The woman laughed self-deprecatingly, hiding the dagger in her sleeve, thinking that she would kill herself if necessary to avoid the humiliation of Zhao Jun.

In the end, this dagger became a tool that Emperor Liang had to fulfill his promise.

The woman pulled out her dagger and thrust it into her heart against the blood splattered from Emperor Liang's chest.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Liang was so unbearable, he didn't even ask, and chose to beg with the most humble gesture. As everyone knows, as long as he can calm down, as long as he is willing to be a minister, he can save his life.

In the end, he died the most.

Looking at the woman who was determined to die and left, thinking of the Jin family army who died on the battlefield, Bolan's heart was a little blocked.

Fortunately, the people of Liang no longer have to be ruled by such a faint monarch.

After death, new hope grows.

The fall of the Liang State, the next stop, and the last battle, the Yan State.

The Yan State is strong, and the Yan Emperor cherishes his own people, and can be called a Ming monarch in the eyes of many generals. Therefore, the cities of Yan Kingdom rarely surrendered, and it was inevitable that there would be one fierce battle after another.

The blood-soaked Zhao army marched forward with difficulty but firmly, captured the cities, and headed towards Yandu like a bamboo.

On this day, Zhao Jun finally arrived in Ning County.

Two more cities in Ningxian County are Yandu, victory is already in sight, but Bolan and Zhao Xinglan have no joy in their hearts, like a reef beaten by huge waves, and their hearts are full of struggle.

This is the city they have rescued together, and it contains the people who once embraced them so much. The officials of Ning County are also honest and love the people, which makes them quite favorable.

But now, they represent Zhao Jun and stand on the opposite side of Ning County.

Will Ning County be willing to surrender? If not, is it really going to be a confrontation?

The four words of ending the war with war are very heavy at this moment.

Ning Xian came into sight little by little, and Bolan and Zhao Xinglan saw from a distance that there were a vast number of people standing in a black hole under the city wall.

Is this what it means to be impatient? The hearts of the two sank.

The war horses galloped, the horses' hooves clicked, Ning County was getting closer and closer, and the sea of people was gradually enlarged by dense black spots.

Seeing the situation on the other side, Bolan and Zhao Xinglan were stunned, the two of them tacitly grabbed the reins together, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the sea of people in Ning County defenselessly.

"County Order, what are you?"

The county commander and a group of officials only wear regular clothes, how can there be soldiers and horses behind them? There are clearly the people of the city.

Bolan and Zhao Xinglan were looking over there, and they were also looking at them over there, and soon, the people who saw the two of them clearly shouted out.

"It's really a saint and a prince!"

"Lord County Cheng didn't lie to us, it was really not our prince who came to see us at that time, but the prince of Zhao State!"

"Phew! What is our prince, the county lord has said, in order to avoid trouble, he wanted to kill us, such a person, where is he worthy of being a prince! ”

"That's right, the county lord also said that the newly established prince of Zhao Guo is here to comfort our prince of Zhao Guo, and he asked us to take a look together."
