Chapter 51 Rebellion
At that time, the army of Yin State had no food and the soldiers had no strength to fight. The leader Xie Chengyan was also injured and had a high fever for several days. He stayed in a dilapidated temple in Nanyang for two days before he recovered.
Later, the barbarian army attacked outside the gate of Nanyang City. Xie Chengyan knew that he could not let the barbarian army go north, otherwise the Yin Kingdom would collapse sooner or later. So he sent troops to sneak out of the city through the mountain road, go around to the rear of the barbarian army, and burn all the barbarian army's food and grass.
That battle gave the Yin Kingdom's army some breathing space, but unfortunately Sun Yunshu, who led the troops out of the city, was nowhere to be seen.
He disappeared for eight years without a trace of news. When they met again, Sun Yunshu had become a soldier of the Southern Barbarians. He defended the city for four years without anyone noticing, but with one move, he defected and everyone knew.
Sun Yunshu became a figure that everyone in Nanyang wanted to kill, but because the royal family blocked the news of the battle to defend the city that year, no one in Shangjing knew of Sun Yunshu's existence.
Nanman wanted to discuss a marriage with Dayin, so they sent an envoy from Nanman and asked Sun Yunshu to lead the way to the Yin Kingdom.
The upstart general of the Southern Barbarians was born with a Han Chinese appearance, which naturally aroused suspicion, so Sun Yunshu was always accompanied by a guard who looked like a barbarian.
Wanhelou is Xie Chengyan's secret agency. No one in the court knows about it. The people inside are all the people who followed him to guard Nanjing City. The boss Lin Yan helps him manage the gossip in Shangjing.
The arrival of the Southern Barbarian envoys in Beijing was not a big deal, as they had come many times over the years. However, when the people of Wanhelou saw Sun Yunshu in the team entering the capital, they realized that the matter was not simple.
Before one wave of turmoil subsides, another wave of turmoil arises. This year's Beijing is not peaceful.
Xie Chengyan spread out his palms, and a cold wind blew past his fingertips in the evening. This year's winter in Beijing might be even colder.
At the Ye Mansion, as Ye Lanzhou said, there was no peace in the mansion at the moment. Ye Qingshang's cries echoed throughout the Ye Mansion. Ye Zhixing also felt sorry for his daughter. He was on duty at the Imperial Hospital, but when he heard about it, he switched shifts with someone else and hurried home.
Seeing his daughter lying on the mattress, her feet were bloody. When he lifted the white cloth stained with blood, he could vaguely see the eerie white bones exposed.
Ye Zhixing had been practicing medicine for so many years, and he had rarely seen such a tragic scene. Besides, he didn't understand why the man continued to jump when his feet were clearly bleeding?
He probably guessed that someone had applied some kind of drug on the murder weapon, so that Ye Qingshang could not feel the pain, but the shoe was taken away by the Jinyiwei who followed, saying that they would be used for verification. Ye Zhixing could not see anything and could not jump to conclusions.
Madam Ye was heartbroken for her daughter, so she returned from the palace and hugged her daughter crying, "Shang'er, how did you become like this?"
"Mother...I don't know..."
At this moment, the effect of the numbing powder on Ye Qingshang's feet had worn off, and she only felt a burning pain on the soles of her feet. She hugged her mother and cried, but found that the more she cried, the more painful it became.
"My daughter just wanted to finish the dance, and she didn't feel any pain at all. How could she become like this..."
Ye Zhixing asked Ye Qingshang to be patient and bandaged her feet very quickly. He had been a royal physician for decades and knew that Ye Qingshang's feet were useless, but because his daughter was sad, he did not say it out loud for a while and just comforted her softly.
Ye Qingshang recuperated in the mansion for a few days, and the wound began to scab over, but she herself did not know that her tendons had been broken and would never heal.
