Chapter 2: The Breaking of the City
A year later
The huge noise came from far and near, and King Gumo stood in the hall, quietly watching the panicked palace people in the court.
"Is the city broken......
On his resolute and clear countenance, a calm smile appeared—
"With my Gumo's square inch, I actually held on for more than 100 days, which is enough to be praised by future generations......"
At this time, it was almost dusk, and the cold wind was blowing in from the half-open temple door, and a column of residual lamps fluttered in the hall, casting heavy shadows on the lapis lazuli floor.
"My Gumo's hundreds of years of foundation, although it is not very prosperous, but it is also the master of one party, but now it is going to be buried in my hands."
He sighed, and the wind blew in the empty twilight to make his clothes hunt, reflecting the frost white of his temples, which made it even more gloomy.
The outer robe was made of very thin light azure, and the silk-woven yarn brocade with a solid base was extremely luxurious, and the placket was piled with four-clawed dragons—such a grand costume that he wore on the day of his great dynasty, but now, it was about to come in handy!
"You have not gone far underground, and you will wait for me to come with you......"
He thought of the queen who died a few years ago, and then thought of his daughter who died last night, and said in a low voice with infinite sadness on his face.
There was a loud bang, like a scorching thunder blasting through his ears, and he listened to the direction, but it was from the former court.
"Are you really going to shovel this place to the ground?!"
His thick eyebrows were slightly raised, and Su Ri's majesty reappeared at this moment.
"Are you going to let them do that?!"
The sound was like a pearl falling to the ground, as if someone quietly opened the door and walked in, the cold wind shuttled into the hall, King Gumo turned around in confusion, but saw that the person was wearing ten layers of black soap yarn, but it was still Qingli Yuanna.
"It's you, Baojin!"
He couldn't help but smile happily, and the depression between his eyebrows dissipated a lot at this moment.
"Didn't you marry Goryeo?"
After the surprise, it was confusion, he couldn't help asking, but after seeing a touch of sadness in the bottom of Baojin's eyebrows, he instantly realized-
"How can it be that he dares to humiliate you like this when he looks at the royal downfall!"
"Li's child, the mouse is ......"
He hated and hated, according to his old nature, he must have done the crime of fighting and fighting in the past, but he was even more sad when he thought of his situation.
"He didn't humiliate me much, but he ruined the marriage and didn't see me - there is still a good fortune in the misfortune, I and he are not husband and wife......"
Bao Jin smiled bitterly, met the surprised eyes of King Gumo, and continued: "When I married into Goryeo four years ago, I was only fifteen years old, and the princess was afraid that I would take away her power, so under the pretext of the funeral of the first king, only the two of us saluted, but they have been living in separate palaces, and they have been mourned for three years, but such a major event happened - she sent people to chase and kill all the way, which caused me a lot of trouble. ”
"A good descendant of the emperor's family, he finally didn't fall into the sludge."
After the King of Gumo was relieved, he sighed again: "Since you got out safely, why did you come here - now Gumo City is already in danger and in danger!" ”
"Uncle......!"
Bao Jin stared at him deeply, remembering that when he was a child, he and his sister rode on his shoulders, laughing and playing on the top of the mountains, and remembered that this uncle had led thousands of brocade clothes to fly to the rescue, and his majesty is still a good story in the area of Beimen Pass——
Let's go!
"Why is this happening?!"
She said word by word sadly, "My sister is dead, and Gumo is going to fall into their hands, is it really destiny?!" ”
"Nope! I don't believe in any destiny!! ”
She gritted her teeth and said resolutely, although her voice was low, it was with the momentum of breaking gold and jade, and she raised her eyes to look at King Gumo-
"I'm here to borrow something?"
"What is it?"
"The identity of Tamago's sister."
"What?!"
King Gumo was shocked, and when he heard the name of his beloved daughter at first glance, his hands trembled-
"I want to enter Beijing as Yuran's sister, after the destruction of Gumo City, these royal relatives will be escorted to the imperial capital ......"
King Gumo understood as soon as he heard it, "My Gumo custom, unmarried women must wrap their faces in a gauze scarf and not show themselves in front of others - in this world, except for my father and brother, no one has ever seen jade dyeing. ”
"Yes, this is going to the imperial capital, thousands of miles away, and Yuran's sister is frail, so it's better to replace her with me...... Someone outside the city will be able to take care of her-"
"You're late, kid ......"
King Gumo laughed lowly, his voice full of grief and sorrow—
"Yuran, my most beloved daughter, passed away last night."
Baojin's eyes condensed at this moment-
"Her future colt actually acted as an internal response to the enemy, and opened the city gate, and she was already coughing up blood, and she cried all night, and then ......"
Baojin stood quietly, the carved beams and paintings in front of her seemed to be collapsing, and the joyful and quiet world she was familiar with faded to the last touch of color in her eyes, shattered into dust.
I don't know how long it took, but she still hung her head and murmured, "Please uncle—"
"You kid!!"
King Gumo couldn't help but be furious, and was about to scold, but after seeing her eyes, he sighed gloomily-
"That's it......"
He raised his voice to call people, and in a short time, a palace man came.
"This is Ji Xin, Yuran's personal maid, who grew up with her since she was a child, and knows everything about her."
He sighed, flicked the sleeves of his robe, took out a crystal glass bottle from the upper eight treasure grids, and poured a few into each of the three cups.
He shook the blood-red wine in his hand lightly, and whispered the famous sentence of the Celestial Empire—
"Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, if you want to drink the pipa, immediately urge ......"
This wine is the remnants of the wedding night, at that time, he led 3,000 relatives and nobles to fly to the aid of the Celestial Empire, and the emperor was happy, so he married the emperor.
The handsome and incomparable, majestic posture of thousands of armies, has now been annihilated by the years, and who still remembers this remnant wine? !
He handed each of the two girls a cup, but he took out a soybean-sized red pill from another compartment, put it in the cup, and drank it all.
The next moment, his eyes began to drift, he sat upright, and finally pointed to the beaded curtain, and then died of exhaustion.
Baojin used all her strength to not shout, she gritted her teeth and let the blood snaked out, and she didn't realize it.
Stretching out a trembling hand, she and Ji Xin laboriously dragged the corpse behind the bead curtain.
Pressing the mechanism, the floor of the back hall splits in two, revealing the abyss of ice and snow below, in which three jade coffins float, two of which are the queen and the princess of jade dye, and the other is empty.
The corpse of King Gumo was gently put in, and the three jade coffins floated lightly, gradually sinking into the abyss. The ground was closed, and there was no trace.
"That's a good ......"
Bao Jin looked at this scene, not sad, but felt extremely quiet and proper-
"It's good that their family is reunited, it's so good ......"
At this moment, she thought of her sister who died in Beijing and her bones were hard to find, and then thought of her father and queen mother who had passed away long ago, and she only felt that everything was sad and there was no trace.

Yun Shi passed through the vast square and palace road, and then passed through the corridors, and came to the front of the main hall.
At the beginning of the night, the bright and extinguished palace lamps swayed lightly under the eaves, the wind blew the iron martindong, and the deep hall was immersed in darkness.
Yun Shi knocked lightly on the door of the palace, and was about to make a name for himself, but he heard a gentle female voice say: "Come in!" ”
The voice was serene and calm, without the slightest fear.
He gently pushed the door, and the carved jade-inlaid temple door made a babbling sound, and a lamp in the hall was like a bean, burning lightly in front of the desk.
"Are you coming......
A slender figure sat in front of the desk and asked him with a chuckle, the scarlet flames staining her countenance, and she looked very blurry.
Yun Shi raised his eyes, but in the next moment, he gasped for cold air-
