I lean back in the chair, close my eyes, and concentrate.

Jin Yan and Cang Yuan remained seated on their horses, scrutinizing her intently.

An hour later, the city gates opened, and the messenger delivered a letter and quickly returned.

Leng Qingning coldly accepted the letter. Was she planning to smooth things over?

Unfold the envelope; inside was only one sentence: "To not surrender is certain death; to surrender is worse than death; better not to surrender!"

"very good!"

With a smile on her face, Leng Qingning slowly said to Jin Yan, "The Lord of Yanshan City is a smart man. He knows that whether he surrenders or not, he will not escape death sooner or later."

If she doesn't surrender, the Yue army will break through the city gates and offer her head as a sacrifice to the flag; if she surrenders, even if I keep my word and let her go, the title of traitor will make her unable to hold her head high. Rather than living in the midst of curses, it's better to end it sooner rather than later.

Leng Qingning clicked her tongue in regret: "What a pity! I was willing to let her go, but she didn't want to live."

He then revealed a dangerous smile: "Since that's the case, then I will let her die a worthy death."

She mounted her horse and said, "My husband, let's go."

Jin Yan instinctively cupped his hands respectfully and replied, "Yes!"

For some reason, at this moment, he suddenly felt that Leng Qingning seemed to have changed a lot. Since she got up this morning, every word she uttered seemed to be a testament to her change.

Every word she uttered felt both familiar and strange!

Jin Yan couldn't pinpoint the problem, but he felt that his wife seemed to have become much more decisive and ruthless, and her words were sharp and merciless.

If it were the old her, she would never have uttered the words "massacre of the city".

Cang Yuan shared the same thoughts as Jin Yan at this moment!
