After getting off the city, the civil and military ministers of Western Liao couldn't help whispering, and when they were on the way back to the city lord's mansion, their arguments gradually became fierce, noisy and noisy, some proposed surrender, some insisted on fighting to the death, and some wanted to escape.

Among the people, Xiao Xuan, Han Derang, and Chen Weijia had solemn faces, and they were silent all the way.

Mixed in the crowd, Yao Ruoyu's face was full of emotion, among the major forces in China, except for the four foreign countries, Western Liao and Wenbang are the most, both of them occupy the same place, but the overall strength is huge.

There are five people in the Western Liao, such as the Empress Xiao Xuan, the Emperor of the Eight Realms, and there are five people such as Han Derang and Xiao Shihu in the Seven Realms, and there are nearly a dozen people at the level of the Six Realms, but in just half a month, the Seven Realms have fallen to two people, and the six realms that have been damaged are countless.

Just like when the Jin State was located in Gansu, Xining, Sichuan, Shu, and Shaanxi, it was claimed that there were 1.5 million iron cavalry, and there were 400,000 in Sichuan and Shu alone, plus the soldiers and horses of the infantry troops in various cities, and so on, if there were nearly 600,000 troops.

However, when Wen Bangxi conquered Sichuan and Shu, although there were countless small-scale battles, what really hurt the vitality of the Sichuan and Shu Jin soldiers was the two battles of Wusheng City and Longmen Town.

The Sichuan-Shu Jin Army, which once dominated the northwest, was completely discounted in these two battles, which also made Yao Ruoyu more and more emotional, no matter how famous you once were, it was only a matter of a moment to decline.

When he walked to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, hearing that the ministers were still arguing, Chen Weijia finally couldn't help but turn around and scolded angrily: "Shut up for me!"

Ice eyes were as sharp as sharp, Chen Weijia glanced at everyone, and said sharply: "The first person to be killed by Wanyan must be the Queen Mother, how can we surrender?"

Seeing that she broke the story, the ministers who had been proposing to surrender were all red-faced, and only after a long time did one of them hesitate: "If you sacrifice the Queen Mother, you can save the whole country of Xiliao, and ...... It's worth it. ”

Chen Weijia laughed angrily, and was about to speak, Xiao Xuan had already reached out and pressed her shoulder, phoenix eyes were indifferent, looking around at Xiliao Wenwu who was panicked, ashamed or indignant, and suddenly smiled indifferently: "You don't need to quarrel, this matter has already been decided by this palace." ”

Yao Ruoyu watched coldly, and when she saw her expression, she couldn't help frowning slightly.

Xiao Sui did not inform everyone of his decision, and went back to his room directly after entering the City Lord's Mansion, leaving everyone talking about it.

These are all high-level people in Western Liao, Yao Ruoyu is not familiar with any of them, and the only one who is quite familiar with Xiao Shihu is being hung on the flagpole in front of the Jin Bing camp outside the city.

So he didn't say hello to anyone else and went back to the room alone.

The Western Regions lacked materials, but fortunately, as the king of the Great Song Dynasty, Xiao Sui did not reduce his treatment, there was a lot of wine and meat, he ate and drank alone for a while, and suddenly threw the roast leg of mutton on the table, and looked out of the window with a gloomy face.

Tonight, it's the end of the year!

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I should have been together with my relatives, even if I didn't push the cup and change the glass, just a shallow smile was enough to make people satisfied.

In this world, he should have no worries, but because of Wanyan Fuchan and everyone in the Ministry of Literature and Art, the guy who has laughed and cried together and wantonly publicized together, the beautiful woman who is gentle and snuggling, cold and charming, is the biggest motivation for him to persist in struggling to this day.

Holding the wine glass, Yao Ruoyu's face was bitter, but it was a pity, tonight was the New Year's Pass, but there were no relatives to accompany him.

He was about to raise his head to drink, when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the house, followed by three muffled ping-pong sounds, and Li Yilin's deliberately exaggerated voice instantly broke the previous bleak and somewhat lonely atmosphere.

"Open the door, sweep away the!"

Thinking that he had drunk too much and had auditory hallucinations, Yao Ruoyu blinked his eyes, then jumped up like waking up from a dream, and was about to run over to open the door, but the door had been kicked open from the outside, revealing Xu Xuanrong, Li Yilin, and Li Huan who were shrouded in moonlight.

Li Yilin let out a funny laugh from his mouth, opened his arms and strode towards Yao Ruoyu, but unfortunately before he could get closer, he was kicked on the ass by Li Huan, deviated from the direction in embarrassment, and fell on the table.

"I don't have the eyesight to see it. Li Huan pursed his lips and pushed Xu Xuanrong from behind.

To be honest, if you don't want to, even if Li Huan is a martial artist and a spirit master, the other party will not be able to push him, but for some reason, maybe the touch left by the hug that day is still there, Xu Xuanrong actually let Li Huan push himself in front of Yao Ruoyu.

Staring at the slight marks on the cheeks of the woman in front of her due to years of fatigue, Yao Ruoyu's heart ached inexplicably, she should have been an unrestrained and unrestrained age, but because she had to stay in the house with a mountain of paperwork all year round, let her years pass away little by little, and let the mantra that was once taken for granted because of freedom and ease disappear from her mouth.

Finding that his eyes were slightly burning and full of guilt, Xu Xuanrong hesitated, stared at the light, and said indifferently: "It was Empress Dowager Xiao who brought us here, saying that she had something to tell you." ”

Yao Ruoyu was slightly stunned, looked up at the outside of the house, and sure enough, she saw Xiao Yu in an imperial robe standing in the courtyard outside, deliberately restraining her qi, and she naturally would not be discovered by Yao Ruoyu just now.

Seeing him come over, Xiao Sui smiled, walked into the room slowly, and said indifferently, "You can leave." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Xu Xuanrong frowned and said, "The Queen Mother ......"

Shaking his head, Xiao Xuan said with a smile: "Xiao Xuanrong, you are so smart, you should understand my decision, there is no need to say more." ”

Xu Xuanrong lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Will you regret it?"

"What will happen in the future, who knows?" Xiao Xuanyan smiled, and her cheeks, without the slightest trace of wind and frost, were full of indescribable charm.

She looked at Li Yilin and said indifferently: "Caifeng'er will go with you, I know that you Song people pay attention to the words of your parents' orders, but since you have inherited the secret inheritance of my Great Liao royal family, you are also half a Liao person, I will marry Caifeng'er to you, I hope you can treat her well in the future." ”

Li Yilin was arguing with Li Huan because of the kick just now, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, and then frowned and said, "Why?"

"Does the Queen Mother want to pass on the inheritance of the Beast God Code in the bloodline of the Liao royal family?" Xu Xuanrong sighed.

Xiao Xuan bowed his head slightly, Li Yilin's cheeks suddenly flushed, and he said in annoyance: "I refuse!"

As if he had expected his answer, Xiao Xuan smiled and said, "This is the only condition for letting you go." ”

didn't expect Xiao Sui to say this, Li Yilin was stunned for a while, and couldn't say a word.

Yao Ruoyu frowned and said, "Don't you need to ask Princess Caifeng's opinion?"

"You Han people pay attention to the words of the matchmaker of your parents, I am her grandmother, and I am the matchmaker as the Empress Dowager of Xiliao, His Royal Highness King Wen, what do you think?" Although it was Yao Ruoyu who asked, Xiao Xuan's eyes kept looking at Li Yilin.

Seeing that Li Yilin was silent, Xiao Sui took out a bracelet from his sleeve and handed it over, and said with a smile: "It happened suddenly, and the palace didn't have much time to prepare, so let's use this thing as her dowry." ”

Staring at the bracelet carved with countless beast patterns, the corners of Li Yilin's eyes jumped, as if he wanted to refuse, but he gritted his teeth and was silent, Xiao Sui was not in a hurry, just looked at him with a smile, and it was not until a long time later that Li Yilin gritted his teeth and reached out to take the bracelet.

Xiao Xuan smiled indifferently and said: "Back then, I had three Zhenguo artifacts in Daliao, the golden wolf was in the hands of the palace, and the silver wolf was in the hands of Yelu Yu, this is the third artifact, called the Beast God Ring, which can increase the power of the Beast God Code to five times. ”

Yao Ruoyu hesitated and asked, "Queen Mother, do you really plan to surrender?"

"Otherwise?" Xiao Xuan smiled dumbly, "Dajin is menacing, and the people and horses who went to Song Wen for help have also been intercepted, even if Chen Weijia uses troops like a god, the huge gap in the number of the Seven Realms is doomed that my Western Liao will definitely not be able to stop the army of the Jin Kingdom." ”

"What's more, this is the only way to keep the last vitality of my Da Liao!" Xiao Xuan's lips flashed a slightly bitter smile.

At this moment, she suddenly recalled the time when the Liao Kingdom was destroyed.

At that time, the Song and Jin coalition forces jointly broke through the Great Liao Palace, and in order to cover their evacuation, Liao Jingzong did not hesitate to burn his life to block Wanyan Taizu and Yang Ji, and it was precisely because of this battle that Liao Jingzong died soon after.

I remember that before Jingzong died, he used the silver wolf as a medium to pour all his life's skills into her body, so that she jumped to the first level of the eight realms in one fell swoop at the age of no more than thirty, and only then did she have the capital to shelter everyone to flee outside the border and establish Xiliao.

After pouring his strength, Liao Jingzong had already fallen into a situation where he ran out of oil and dried up, but at that time, he still grabbed his hand and told himself to take care of the people of Liao.

It was precisely because of Liao Jingzong's deathbed advice that she refused Yelu Yu's request to let herself and the other party leave, rejected Han Derang's infatuation that had been guarding all these years, and refused to return the power to her and Liao Jingzong's son.

But this time, she couldn't refuse anymore.

Hearing her answer, Yao Ruoyu was silent for a moment, then stared at her, word by word, and said solemnly: "Are you sure?"

Seeing that he asked again, Xiao Xuan frowned and raised his head, and after seeing his gaze, he seemed to have an understanding, and he smiled bitterly, and said with his head bowed: "Sure." ”

Yao Ruoyu sighed and said no more.

Xiao Xuan said lightly: "Clean up, I will send you out of the city in a while, this place is in my Western Liao, there is a national protection, even if Wanyan Taizu is outside, they will not notice it." ”

At this moment, what can everyone answer, only silently bow.

Half an hour later, Xiao Sui took Yelu Caifeng back to the courtyard again, and then with a wave of his sleeves, the world around everyone was turned upside down in an instant, the light and shadow were distorted and confused, and the sound turned into a howl like a wind, which lasted for a while, and when the surroundings returned to normal, they found that they had left Gaochang and appeared in an oasis.

"I'm finally able to go home!" Li Huan stretched, and a little lazy appeared on his stunning face.

Li Yilin glanced at Yelu Caifeng, who was silently wiping her tears beside her, and her face was cloudy.

Yao Ruoyu looked to the west from afar, looking stunned, two days later, most of the women who were once famous in China were about to die.
