The month of June and July in Zelu Castle is the season of rainstorms, when the sky is overcast and terrible, and thunder and lightning are gradually approaching the royal city with the sound of countless horses' hooves in the distance.

Now, Si Nanyue, the newly qualified city lord of Zelu City, is leading the remaining soldiers in the city to kneel outside the city.

In her hand was a lacquer plate the size of a dressing box, covered with a blood-stained mottled white linen cloth, which bulged inside, revealing a few blood-soaked strands of interlaced black and white hair.

Those reddish eyes looked at the galloping horses in the distance, and the cool breeze with the smell of earth swept by, blowing up her wide and light sleeves, lining her even more skinny.

Si Nanyue coughed lightly from time to time, and her already pale cheeks were now even more bloodless, and her heart was full of worry.

According to Chiyuan City's attitude towards the extermination of Anjiang, Guyu, Xiaolan, and Jiangyu, if Helian was not the slightest dissatisfied with Zelu City's surrender, the final result of Zelu City would ...... It should be the same as the previous cities.

Wrapped in black and gold armor, the war horse arrived in front of her in a blink of an eye, and the mud stars that were raised splashed up and landed on Sinan Yueyun's white dress, she lowered her eyes, looking at the brown-gray traces on the clothes, and there was a moment of distraction.

Then a pair of plain hands smoothly brought the lacquer plate to the top of his head, and said in a voice that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Si Nanyue, the city lord of Zelu City, greetings to His Royal Highness King Xiao." ”

"Sinan Yue ......"

The man on horseback repeated her name, playing with taste: "Raise your head." ”

Si Nanyue obediently did so, she raised her face and looked directly at the man.

The figure in front of him was tall and burly, wearing a black and gold heavy armor, and his already extremely aggressive face was covered with a hideous scar from the left eyebrow bone to the bottom of his eyes, making him even more dangerous.

The killing intent in those golden eyes, the heavy sword on his waist, and the thick bloody aura on his body all shouted that he was the monster who regarded human life as a mustard - Helian Duel.

And at this time, even if he has a smile on his lips, it is terrifying.

"A year ago, my Chiyuan City cavalry was designed by you to fall into the swamp, a thousand soldiers died, the bodies of seven hundred soldiers were eaten and disabled by the insects in the swamp, and countless soldiers died of poisoning in the swamp. Seven months ago, 2,000 of the king's men and horses died in the sky, and none of them survived, and the only 400 people you sent were killed, and that was the second time the king failed. And five months ago, the dead soldier you sent detonated the gunpowder and almost killed the king......"

Helian duel rolled off the horse, paced to Si Nanyue and bent down to eye level with her, she couldn't see the anger on his face, nor could she see the joy of victory, his eyes flashed with a light she couldn't understand, like a child discovering an interesting toy.

"This king has been fighting for many years, but he has never seen a female Zhuge like the city lord, and he never thought that what made me fall into a desperate situation several times was such a weak and unscrupulous sick beauty, it was really ...... It's so much fun!! ”

Si Nanyue's eyes were calm, and her tone was as indifferent as ever: "Even if I rack my brains, I still don't have the ambition to stop His Highness from expanding the territory, so it can also prove that the so-called wisdom is useless in the face of absolute force." ”

"Hah...... Hahahahaha......ha

Helian suddenly burst out laughing, and the laughter was hoarse and terrifying, and it shook people's ears with pain.

He pulled Si Nanyue up on the ground, Si Nanyue knelt on the ground for too long, her legs were already numb, and she was pulled by Helian Du like this, and her body slammed into his arms.

She was unsteady on her hands, and watched as the head in the lacquer plate was thrown out, rolling on the ground several times, and finally tumbling into the mud puddle that had been trampled out of the war horse.

Thunder fell, and the torrential rain came in a hurry, just enough to hide the tears that fell from her eyes.

Helian Du glanced sideways at the person next to him, and the man immediately picked up the head, and after careful inspection, nodded to Helian Duel.

That's right, it's genuine, it's indeed the head of the previous city lord Si Fenghao.

He snorted coldly, his rough big hand pinched Si Nanyue's chin hard, her gaze was forcibly pulled back to the face of the person in front of her, Helian Du lowered his head and approached her, his warm breath sprayed onto her skin, and the smell of blood came to his face.

Helian Du smiled, lowered his voice and gritted his teeth: "How can it be useless, do you know how much this king has thought about your way along the way?" There are only three passes left before the Akaibuchi Army can defeat Zelu City, and you surrender at this time!! And to offer such a sincere 'gift'...... What is even more strange about this king is that what kind of thought did you use to make my father, who was thousands of miles away, personally send someone to quickly and whip up the horse and order that this king should not be allowed to slaughter Zelu City. ”

Helian Duel's hand became stronger and stronger, Si Nanyue's nails were deeply embedded in his palm, and he didn't cry out in pain, those eyes with hazy tears, and the reddish corners of his eyes made Helian even more disgusted.

"You're really making this king uncomfortable!" With a wave of his hand, he threw Si Nanyue to the ground.

There were a few more red marks on Si Nanyue's face in an instant, like a wild dog begging for food on the street, she lowered her head into the dust, and she had no self-esteem at all.

"The king is merciful, he doesn't want to see innocent people buried in the wilderness, as His Highness said, all the schemes against Chiyuan City are made by me, the people are innocent, thank Your Highness for letting them go, Si Nanyue is willing to apologize with death, and calm His Highness's anger."

After that, the sword at his waist was unsheathed, and just as the blade was about to kiss the neck of his boss Nanyue, the sword body was grabbed by Helian Duel.

"Wouldn't it be too cheap for you to want to die like this! From this day on, you are the king's slave, and your life will be saved until the moment the king is bored. ”

The fight was taken away by Helian Duel, Si Nanyue raised her head slightly and looked up, just to meet Helian Duel's eyes with murderous intent.

Maybe it's going to rain for a long, long time, she thought.

"Yes, yes."

Si Nanyue followed Heliandu's army back to the main hall, and before she reached the gate of the hall, she heard a woman's mournful cry not far away.

Helian was used to this, and he didn't ask about it, but he felt that the voice was too noisy, and just wanted to send someone to stop it, Si Nanyue saw Ximing running from not far away, and when she saw her, she knelt down and cried: "Second Miss...... The old lady and the young lady...... They took advantage of the palace people to leave the palace, and they couldn't think about it for a while, so they hanged themselves......"

Si Nanyue's body was cold, her legs were weak and she almost fainted, since she and her father decided to start this plan, they knew that there would be today.

Since her father's death, even if she begged bitterly, her mother and sister-in-law were unwilling to face her, let alone leave Zelu City.

Si Nanyue stood firm, she bowed to Helian Du, her voice was still steady, "Your Highness, the deceased is the greatest, can you allow the slave maid to arrange for her mother and sister-in-law to enter the earth first?" ”

Helian looked at her with interest, whether it was the humiliation he faced just now, or the bad news now, this Si Nanyue was so indifferent on the surface, was she soft on the outside and strong on the inside, or was she a person who was affectionate?

"A few days ago, when you were fighting in Sushui Mountain, your brother Si Nanyang died in battle, and the body of your little sister Si Nanxing fell off the cliff and there is no body, I heard that you have four brothers and sisters, why don't you see your little brother today, Si Nanchen?"

He really asked Ah Chen, Si Nanyue's heart tightened, and replied: "Ah Chen is still young, he was sent to his aunt by his father at the beginning of the war between the two cities, a year ago my aunt wrote to say that Ah Chen left without saying goodbye, although she sent someone to look for it, but there has been no news of Ah Chen, if he wants to return to Zelu City and strayed into the battlefield, maybe he has ......."

"Ha, I see."

Helian smiled inexplicably, he approached Si Nanyue, looked straight at the pair of apricot eyes as deep as a pool of water, and said, "Your aunt...... Ah, this king remembers, your aunt Si Yulin is the wife of the city lord of Ganquan City, so why don't we set the next attack target in Ganquan City, how about it? ”

"Your Highness doesn't believe me?"

"No, no, no, this king naturally believes you, as smart as you, he shouldn't tell this kind of lie that is easy to be exposed, but I didn't see everyone in your Sinan family, which made this king very unhappy, as a slave, you have the obligation to make me happy, and ...... This king needs you to show the people of the two cities your allegiance to my Helenduan. ”

Helian decided to get too close, which made Si Nanyue extremely uncomfortable, she stepped back slightly without a trace, and asked, "What does Your Highness command?" ”

The smile on Helian Duel's face disappeared suddenly, and only the creepy Yin Owl stared at Si Nanyue in his golden eyes, only to hear him say slowly: "Five days later, this king wants you to personally dispose of the bodies of your parents and sister-in-law...... Burn at the stake! ”

"Boom!!"

The huge thunder exploded above the palace, the rain fell more rapidly and heavily, and the road ahead gradually blurred, Si Nanyue was stunned for a moment, like a marionette.

From morning to night, the torrential rain showed no sign of stopping, and the deafening thunder and dazzling lightning could not affect the pair of people in the red sand tent who went to Wushan Yunyu together.

Si Nanyue knelt beside the bed and guarded the flickering candle lamp, waiting for orders at any time.

The ambiguous moans and heavy wheezing echoed in the room, but these did not disturb Si Nanyue's thoughts, her eyes wandered, and she asked silently in her heart: "Why is it five days ......later?"

Today, looking at Helian's words and deeds, he clearly wants to kill all the people in Zelu City and then hurry up, and the Si family, as the royal family of Zelu City, should hate it even more, so why not today, not tomorrow, but ordered that the corpse of her loved ones be burned at the stake five days later, what is his purpose......

"Wine!"

A sturdy arm stretched out from the red tent, with bruised tendons bulging on it, and two knife wounds that had not yet healed, perhaps because they were too intense, and blood oozed from the wounds.

Si Nanyue gritted her teeth and dragged her kneeling sore leg to stand up, and handed the small and delicate wine glass to Helian Duel's hand.

Helian Jue directly swept the wine glass, his hot palm inadvertently touched Si Nanyue's cold fingertips, he seemed to have touched some terrible mechanism, his throat tightened in an instant, and his big hand pulled over the slender wrist, and suddenly pulled her into the red tent.
