Compared with the combined army of the Great Yongxia State, the difference in strength between the army of the Qianguo and the combined army of the Great Yongxia State was too great, and although the Qianguo resisted desperately, it still quickly lost a large part of the country.

In the chaos of the war, Li Huixian had no chance to leave Gangneung City at all, and she never received any news from Bai Mingxi, and the person who went to pick her up had already died in the battle between the two armies. As for Li Zhengchu, his wife and daughter are all in Qianguo, although he is a Dayong, but at this moment he is on the side of Qianguo and does his best to protect them.

Despite the desperate resistance of the Qianguo people, Dayong's army finally took the lead in besieging Jiangling, the imperial capital of the Qianguo, in July of the third year of Jianye.

As the last pure land of the Qianguo, Gangneung City has a tall moat and a natural river as a moat to protect it, which was not so easy to conquer. But what everyone didn't expect was that Sima Wu Daoming, the great Sima of Qianguo, took the initiative to surrender to Dayong at the last moment, and let Dayong's army enter the city.

Zhao Hu, a famous general of Dayong, took the second prince Yuwen Moyuan, who was only fourteen years old at the time, to attack Jiangling City first. As punishment for the stubborn resistance of the Qianguo people, Zhao Hu led people to slaughter the city. That scene, which is cruel in the history of war, happened in the bloody sun. Soldiers chased the crowd and slashed at each other, even newborn babies could not escape the brutal slaughter. The streets echoed only with the desolate cries of the people of Gangneung, and the crowd fled in all directions, but many more fell under the swords of Dayong's soldiers. The blood pooled along the bricks and flowed to the moat, staining the river red.

And at this time, in the palace of Qianguo, there was already a cry, and everyone knew what the arrival of this moment meant. Lan Shuyao, as the chief secretary, shouldered the same responsibilities as the emperor of Qianguo, and at this last moment, he still chose to stand by the side of Emperor Xiao Jingming. And Li Zhengchu has long regarded himself as a member of the Qianguo and firmly accompanies his wife.

At the last moment, Xiao Jingming took the young son from Empress Shen, Lan Shuyao's family, and Li Huixian into his bedroom, telling them that there was a tunnel there that could lead directly to the outside of the city, and there would be a chance to escape from it. Xiao Jingming had already decided to take people from the royal family to accompany Qianguo to live and die, but he really couldn't bear to watch his young son, who was less than four years old, die here. He asked Li Zhengchu and Li Huixian's brothers and sisters to escape from the city with their young sons and Lan Jing'an, who was only seven months old, just to leave the last bit of blood of the Qianguo royal family and the Siming Goddess clan.

Li Zhengchu had already put life and death aside, and decided to die for Qianguo with Lan Shuyao. He begged his sister to save the lives of these two children for the Xiao family, the Lan family, and the Li family. Lee Hye-hyun cried and agreed to her brother's last request.

Lan Shuyao looked at her daughter's little face that was still sleeping in swaddling clothes, and kissed her immature daughter for the last time with tears in her eyes. resolutely stuffed the approval paper that was dividing the hexagram for her at that time into Li Huixian's hand, and told her that if she was still alive by the time Lan Jing'an and Lu arrived, then she could tell her her life experience. Lan Shuyao finally said that according to her speculation, if Lan Jing'an chooses a man surnamed Xiao as her spouse in the future, then danger will come, and there will be great turmoil in the world, please Li Huixian consider it carefully.

Li Huixian cried goodbye to her brother and sister-in-law, and vowed to take the two children to escape and raise them as her own.

Xiao Jingming told him that he must remember to protect Lan Jing'an at any time, even if the royal family is not there, he must protect the priestess, so that the Qianguo can have hope of recovering the country, and the royal family can change hands, but if the priestess dies, the Qianguo will really cease to exist. Emperor Xiao's youngest son cried and agreed.

Li Huixian, who had an eight-month-old belly, carried Lan Jing'an in swaddling clothes on his back, and escaped from the palace with difficulty with the young son of Emperor Xiao. By the time they stood by the moat outside the city, Zhao Hu had already ordered the palace to be burned. The fire soon spread throughout Gangneung City, and Gangneung became a human purgatory and then turned into a sky-high fire. Emperor Xiao's youngest son looked at the burning Jiangling City, crying and couldn't even make a sound anymore. His country, his home, and all his relatives were gone forever on that day.

And just when Li Huixian thought that he was safe, another Dayong cavalry came in the distance, and the leader looked at the swaying figure here, thinking that it was the enemy, and took the lead in shooting an arrow.

Li Huixian protected Xiao Huang's youngest son and Lan Jing'an on his back, but he couldn't protect the child in her belly, and the arrow hit her stomach for eight months.

When the Dayong cavalry came closer, Bai Mingxi realized that it was his wife who had been thinking about him with an arrow. Bai Mingxi was in pain, crying bitterly, but he couldn't keep the fetus that was shot by his own arrow, a boy who could be born in two months.

Lee Hye-hyun barely managed to save a life, but the military doctor told Baek Myung-hee that because of his arrow, Lee Hye-hyun would never have children again. Seeing Li Huixian's desperate crying, Bai Mingxi knelt in front of the couch and swore that he would treat Emperor Xiao's young son and Lan Jing'an as his own in this life, and would never give birth to any heirs with other women again.

Bai Mingxi took Li Huixian and two children to Baiyuguan. Although the Marquis of Dingyuan, who was also in Baiyuguan, also found it difficult to accept such an ending, he thought that this was the retribution for them for not respecting the mandate of heaven and attacking the Qianguo. He had no choice but to acquiesce to his son's choice.

The people in Yonghua City didn't know about Li Huixian's miscarriage, so Bai Mingxi and Li Huixian regarded Lan Jing'an, who was related by blood, as their own biological child, and Xiao Huang's young son was too old to be raised as an adopted son.

The impact of this war did not end here, because Li Zhengchu betrayed the country and defected to the enemy, although the great Honglu Li Huanzhi had broken away from Li Zhengchu's father-son relationship, Emperor Ling still executed the Li family, but the misfortune was not enough to marry a daughter, so that Li Huixian escaped.

Li looked at Bai Yiyan and Bai Qingyun who were already crying on the ground with teary eyes, and continued to say to them: "Qingyun, your name is actually Xiao Qingyun, which is the name that your father gave you from "Qingyun is dressed in white clothes, holding a long arrow and shooting the wolf" in "Nine Songs, Dongjun", I hope you can eliminate evil and promote good, and bring peace to the world like Dongjun. You are the only concubine born to Empress Shen, and above you are the eldest prince from Zhou Guifei and the second prince from Concubine Sun, all of whom were martyred with your father and queen mother on the day Jiangling City broke. And the red light you always talked about when you were a child was not a nightmare you had, nor was it your imagination, but it was your personal experience, it was me and Master Hou who lied to you. We always hope that you can forget about that scene and even give you medicine. I'm sorry, Qingyun. ”

Li Shi turned her head to look at Bai Yiyan, got up and took out a small locked box from the innermost dark compartment of the cabinet, she opened the box very carefully, and there was only a yellowed hexagram paper inside, which read:

The phoenix is flying, and its feathers are shining. Such as Gui Ruzhang, in the other side of the sun. It also gathers and stops, and flatters the king. The Lord of the hundred gods, for the Quartet.

There is also a small note at the back: One person won Kyushu, and the woman won the world.

Li handed the page to Bai Yiyan: "Yan'er, this is the only thing your mother left for you. It is because of this hexagram that I am very careful. You were not born on the eighth day of the eighth month of August, you are the last little secretary Lan Jing'an born by Lan Shuyao, the great secretary of the Qianguo State on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month. The reason why our family never returned to Yonghua City when you were young was also because we were afraid that someone would be able to see the difference in your birthday. I'm sorry, my aunt lied to you and called your mother for so many years. ”

Li finally looked at the two children pitifully and said, "Today, I have fulfilled my promise to my sister-in-law back then." If you two want to leave the house, you have to think about the way forward. Master Hou and I only hope that you will live this life safely and smoothly. Even though we have deep hatred in our hearts, as the people of Dayong, no matter what Emperor Wei does, the rain and dew and thunder are all Jun's grace. Raising you is seen as a commitment; Loyalty and patriotism are regarded as responsibilities. I hope you guys understand. ”
