Shangguan Yun, as a general and an old veteran, is now very old with gray beard. At this moment, he is wearing armor, holding a big sword in his hand, and leading his trusted soldiers.
"My men, you have followed me through thick and thin for many years. This general feels ashamed of you, but you must understand that our sacrifices bring us hope for the future of our Great Zhou!"
"The Great Zhou will not be destroyed! We will definitely be able to take revenge and let the Han Empire know that we are not to be trifled with. We would rather die standing than kneel and beg for mercy!"
"kill!"
Shangguan Yun bore the brunt of the attack, and the precious sword in his hand was like a deadly hook, which defeated the enemy. However, the enemy's offensive was still very fierce, but they still chose not to give up.
For them, delaying a little longer means leaving them with hope, so they must seize the time.
On the other side, Shangguan Yan had a bitter face and tears in the corners of his eyes. He watched his father leading the soldiers in bloody battles and charging forward. He hated himself for not being able to work harder.
He hated himself, foolishly hated himself, for always living under the shadow of his father, never being able to stand on his own, never truly being a man.
"Don't look at it anymore. Things have already come to this. Your most important order now is to stay alive. Only by staying alive can there be hope!"
"Go! Don't let your father's sacrifice go to waste. Since he chose to let you live, you must live. Otherwise, your father will be so sad if you die in vain."
"good……"
On the battlefield, Shangguan Yun used his own body and the lives of his soldiers to delay time.
They were like an iron wall, trapping the enemy here for more than half an hour, and Shangguan Yun was already exhausted.
After all, he was already old, and killing so many enemies in the battlefield was already his limit. But he was no longer the heroic general he once was. He had become an old man. He thought back to when he was young, he could still kill enemies in the battlefield and was omnipotent.
"I'm old after all. I thought I could hold on a little longer."
"Yan'er, you must stay alive, you must stay alive, to avenge your father, and after you see your sister..."
In the last moments of his life, Shangguan Yun thought of his daughter, Lu Yun, and his former rivals.
"Looking back on my life, I am still very proud. I became a general at a young age, the emperor's father-in-law, and finally the father-in-law of a descendant of the Qin imperial family."
"Hahaha, come on! Come on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Yun was stabbed in the chest and died completely, but he still stood firmly before he died.
…
On the other side, Tuotuo Daji fled quickly with Shangguan Yan and the remaining soldiers. They were very fast because the delay time was not particularly long, so they knew very well that they could not stay.
If they stop or slack off for even a moment, death will be waiting for them, and General Shangguan's bloody battle will become a joke. They must not let him down.
On the other side, in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Liang Jing sat in his palace, looking at the empty hall with mixed feelings.
She had also received news that they could no longer hold on, and the final result was as they had guessed, that the emperor was generally powerful in Thailand.
The soldiers of the Han Empire fought bloody battles but were unable to win.
"The Great Zhou is about to be destroyed..."
"Am I going to be a king who destroys his country?"
Liang Jing sighed, and he even thought about whether he should just perish like this and die in the hall as a king with backbone.
But... she didn't do that.
Subconsciously, I believed that I could still be alive and that I still had hope. I didn't know why I thought of that man, the man who was deep in my memory.
Lu Yun's face became clearer and clearer...
"Lu Yun, so this is what you look like. I finally remember you. Your face, your name, can keep me alive, give me a glimmer of hope, and make me feel that our Great Zhou can be restored."
"But what exactly happened between you and me? Why can't I remember whether you are alive or not? If you are alive, will you come back?
When you come back, can you tell me what happened between us?"
Liang Jing's face was full of pain. Ever since he learned that they had been defeated, the palace had been in ruins and there was panic everywhere.
As a king, Liang Jing did not stop them. They just wanted to survive, so he asked them to either leave with the jewelry or leave quickly with some treasures. Only a grandmaster was left by her side.
"In the end, I'm still alone."
Liang Jing looked back at the hall and said, "I will definitely come back one day."
With tears in her eyes, she chose to leave helplessly. In fact, even the civil and military ministers around her had already run away!
The emperor was very merciful by not killing her.
Everyone knows what the result will be, which is the destruction of their Great Zhou.
After all, the imperial court's pace of destroying the vassal states was too powerful, and any normal person could understand and see it clearly.
"Your Majesty, we should leave now. The King of Shu is already waiting for us in the next city. When the time comes, we can combine our forces and leave as soon as possible, heading for the grasslands."
"good!"
Liang Jing sighed and reluctantly left the imperial palace where he had lived for a long time.
A day later, Liang Jing finally met with the King of Shu, and Shangguan Yan and his troops had also arrived, forming a huge army.
Now there are only a few thousand soldiers left, and all of them are injured. It is already very good that they can run here.
Liang Jing felt helpless watching this scene. He didn't expect things to turn out so badly.
"Where did the general go? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Shangguan Yan couldn't hold back her tears when she heard this. She said with a look of grievance, "My father chose to live and die with them in order to cover our retreat."
"Your Majesty, we must stay alive. Only by staying alive can we have hope!"
"good."
"By the way, is Prime Minister Wang following us?"
"exist."
"That's good." Liang Jing breathed a sigh of relief. After all, as long as the Prime Minister was there, nothing would be a problem.
If the prime minister is gone, things will be very bad.
If even the Prime Minister Wang, whom she had always respected, chose to betray her, then that would be real, and she would be afraid...
