Chapter 359: Martyrdom

On the seventeenth day of Luolicheng's siege of the capital, the last trace of defense of the imperial city was broken through by Luolicheng's soldiers, and tens of thousands of Luolicheng's soldiers rushed into the palace, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil, and the entire palace fell into dire straits.

The emperor retreated to the Tower of Babel, and the Ti cavalry outside the tower resisted desperately, barely bearing the attack of wave after wave of Luoli City soldiers, with countless casualties.

The emperor sat in front of the Buddha shrine, holding his head, but he was in his prime, but his head turned white overnight, his eyes were slightly closed, and he only felt miserable.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”

The old eunuch outside the door crawled in, knelt directly in front of the emperor, trembled in his voice, and said to the emperor almost with a handful of snot and tears.

"Your Majesty...... Queen mother, queen mother she ......"

The emperor raised his eyes tiredly, looked at the old eunuch in front of him, and asked lightly.

"What's wrong with the Queen?"

He'd received enough bad news in the past few days, and he really couldn't think of anything worse.

"The queen mother and Concubine Jing, the noble Yuan, were martyred in Wanlan Palace!"

The emperor's heart sank, but he didn't show much of it, just silently raised his head and looked up, but all he saw in his eyes was sadness.

"She is a person with a strong personality, and she naturally can't stand such a thing."

As he spoke, the emperor hung his head.

"The so-called, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies, which is probably just what it means...... Then Zhao Yongji, this is trying to force me to death! ”

"Where's Fu Rin?! Where did the others go at this time?! ”

The emperor's tone suddenly became very excited, so frightened that the old eunuch couldn't help but shake a spirit, and immediately said to the emperor on his knees.

"Back to Your Majesty, the general has been trying to break through the siege of the people of Luoli City in the past few days to come in and save the driver, but there is really no way, the troops of the people of Luoli City are too sufficient, and the offensive is fierce, and our army is losing and retreating......"

The emperor's heart was already half cold, and after hearing the old eunuch's words, he sank even more completely.

Everything in front of him seemed to have no hope, Zhao Yongji outside the door was aggressive, but Fu Rin, who wanted to come in to help, couldn't get in for a long time.

"Is it really exhaustive......

The Emperor muttered distractedly, and he got up and pointed to the people outside the door who were still attacking Luoli City, which was still attacking the Heavenly Tower.

"These people are determined to force me down from this position, but I don't have the face to say anything about others, because I come from this position, I know that it is not clean."

This matter is a taboo in the palace, and no one dares to discuss it in private, but the emperor took it out himself at this time and said that the old eunuch knew that things were not good.

"Since they want it, giving is giving, and I can be regarded as an emperor for a while, and I'm tired of it. But if I want to go out and be humiliated, I need some cheekiness. ”

When the old eunuch heard the emperor speak so dejectedly, he knew that things were not good, and looked at the emperor fixedly, but he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Go, fetch the oil."

The old eunuch looked at the emperor in shock, he really didn't expect that the emperor would make such a decision at this time, so he immediately climbed to the emperor's feet and hugged the emperor's legs, and begged.

"Your Majesty, no, Your Majesty is the general body of the country, how can it be so hastily ended. Your Majesty might as well wait, the general has always been mighty, and these Luoli City people are naturally not a problem, and they will definitely be able to rescue them in time. ”

But the emperor was so hard-hearted that the old eunuch didn't listen to a word.

"I don't know about Fu Rin's kid yet, if he really had a way to take these people from Luoli City, he would have come in a long time ago. Come on, I've seen enough, the queen has already gone, and I have no reason to live. ”

"Go, go to the oil oil, can't it be cheaper for these people outside. Even if I were to die, I would have to take a few of them. ”

The old lady only trembled when she listened, and she didn't dare to say anything.

The emperor naturally saw the old eunuch's doubts, so he said to the old eunuch very calmly.

"You can rest assured, this is my own choice, it has nothing to do with you, it will not affect any of you, you just need to do it boldly and boldly."

"And this."

The emperor hesitated for a moment, and took out the holy decree of clothes from the brocade box on the side, and the old eunuch immediately took it.

"This is the book of Lichu written by me, if this battle can be calmed down and Fu Rin can win, you will hand over this holy decree to Fu Rin."

"Yes......"

The old eunuch completely understood that this was not the emperor's temporary intention, but it had been prepared early in the morning.

"Go ahead."

The emperor turned his back and didn't look at the old eunuch again, but waved his hand casually.

"Your Majesty......"

The old eunuch knocked his head on the ground fiercely, and for a moment he couldn't control his tears and said in pain.

"Your Majesty! Take care! ”

"Go ahead."

The emperor still didn't look back, and his tone was very tired, as if to say that these two words had exhausted all his strength.

"Yes......"

The old eunuch stood up with some hesitation, and walked out with a look of heartache.

These oil were prepared by the emperor in the Tower of Babel early in the morning, and the old eunuch kept watching it, but he didn't know that it was used for such a purpose.

Before leaving, he saw the arrogant back of the emperor standing in front of the Buddha shrine with his hands behind his back, and he couldn't help but feel a huge respect in his heart.

……

The cavalry outside the Tower of Babel was still fighting with the soldiers of Luoli City, but they heard a loud noise in the Tower of Babel, and then a huge tongue of fire erupted, and the heat wave swept through some broken wood and swept it directly.

The heat wave hit the face, and the huge impact directly shot the people under the tower several meters away.

"Emperor Dawan has set himself on fire! Emperor Dawan set himself on fire! ”

The crowd immediately heard such an exclamation, and then slowly spread, and more and more people knew about it.

Just as the emperor himself thought, he did take away a group of Luolicheng's soldiers just now, but the remaining more Luolicheng soldiers stood under the tower with a blank face and looked at each other at a loss.

The news soon reached Fu Rin's ears, he was still thinking about how to attack it, the defense of Luoli City in the early stage was too strict, it was simply seamless, it could be called an iron wall, but now the bad news came, Fu Rin's entire camp was almost as quiet as death.

As soon as the emperor died, the battle in front of him seemed to have no meaning at once.

"General, how is this good?"

In such silence, Li Yan on the side couldn't help but ask Fu Rin like this, you must know that the emperor is a big trip, this is definitely not a good thing for Dawan's army.

Before this, because of Luo Licheng's suppression, Dawan's morale had been insufficient, and now it is even more depressed due to such bad news.

"Damn it!"

Fu Rin was originally in a very dull mood, and when he received such news, he directly smashed his fist on the table in front of him, he almost gritted his teeth and gurgled with his bite.

He was very remorseful in his heart, he returned to Beijing this time to rescue the emperor, but he didn't know that he couldn't do anything in the end, thinking of this, Fu Rin just felt that he was very useless.

Several lieutenants looked at each other, and their hearts were even more Beishang Bay, such a thing would be a big blow to any Dawan person, in this case, if Fu Rin didn't point in a specific direction, they really didn't know what to do.

"When the emperor goes, who is he serving for?"

At this time, Shen Moxin, who had not spoken much, couldn't help but say like this, causing Fu Rin to cast his eyes at him, and Shen Moxin found that Fu Rin was already red-eyed at this time, and he was afraid that he had tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

"The emperor is dead, but Dawan's qi is not exhausted, we have to keep the descendants of the royal family."

"What the general said, the attacking Zhao Yongji is also a member of the royal family, what should I do? This battle is really hard, and the brothers don't want to fight for a long time, anyway, whoever is the emperor is-"

The beard couldn't help but mumble like this, but it attracted the angry eyes of several other lieutenants.

"Wang Hu! This time you don't talk to no one when you're dumb! ”

It is indeed inappropriate to say such things at such a time when the country is in mourning, and Li Yan couldn't help but interrupt Wang Hu's words directly.

"We are now without His Majesty the Emperor! But the integrity in the bones is still there, what? You're going out and surrendering to those people in Lori? Be their dog? I'm not happy! ”

Wang Hu was not happy when he heard this, and directly yelled with Li Yan.

"You must think it doesn't matter! You don't want to think about me either! I'm all soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion! Dead dead, wounded wounded! It's almost for Huo Huo, you don't feel distressed after the battle, but whose soldiers are not brothers! ”

"I'm not going to surrender anyway! If you want to surrender, take your vanguard camp with you! Anyway, Zhao Yongji is recruiting at this hungry time! You're just right in the past! ”

The two of them were arguing with red faces and thick necks, staring at each other with big eyes, and it seemed that no one would let anyone.

"Enough! When will you still be able to get up in the nest! ”

Fu Rin slapped the table fiercely, he was really upset when he heard the argument between the two people, and couldn't help but scold, both of them were silent, and they didn't dare to speak anymore for an instant.

At this time, I heard Fu Rin say firmly.

"Keep beating me, no one can take half a step back, if you find that someone dares not to fight, you will be killed!"
