Chapter 448 Why isn’t your brain as big as the little chirp on Bubu’s head?
"Woo woo... Brother Di, hurry up and pick up the deposed edict I just threw down. I'm no longer the queen of Beining, and I'm no longer that bastard's wife. I'm finally myself again."
"For so many years, you are the only one in my heart. It has always been you, wuwu..."
Di Xingjian took a deep breath, carried her onto his warhorse, and returned her to the Yin family. "Darong, I know you're uneasy. I, Di Xingjian, swear to marry only you in this life. No matter what you've done in the past, I will never despise you."
"From now on, you are just my, Di Xingjian's, wife. You are a member of the Di family and will be listed in the Di family tree."
"Together in life, together in death."
After Di Xingjian finished speaking, he hugged Yin Dairong tightly and turned around decisively. Looking at the emperor who was still in a daze on the city wall, he raised his arm and said, "Pass my order! Attack the city!"
As the Di family army attacked the city outside, chaos broke out inside the imperial city. After being brainwashed, all the students and civilians gnashed their teeth in hatred when they saw what the old emperor did.
"Let's... let's help General Di open the city gates. How can we expect a man who would even push his own wife off a city wall to save her life to love us ordinary people?"
"When faced with natural disasters, he only cared about eating and drinking. He had money to spend on selecting concubines, but he had no money to provide disaster relief. When the enemy attacked the city, he didn't try to solve the problem, but instead took his wife to the city wall to force the enemy to retreat. I am ashamed of such an emperor!"
"Yes, shame on him!"
"We may be ordinary people without weapons or armor, but we do have washbasins and kitchen knives. Let's... let's fight them!"
"Yes! Let's fight!"
"I'll go get a kitchen knife and a washbasin. All men, come with me. We must help General Di open the city gate today. Otherwise, even if we survive by chance, we'll live worse than pigs and dogs."
"Everyone, all men, follow me. I sell knives. I have many sharp sickles and kitchen knives in my shop that I can provide to everyone for free."
"Me! And me! My family sells pots. If you live far away, you can come with me to the store to get them. It's free, no money required!"
A stick of incense later, the city defense troops and imperial guards who were blocking the city gate suddenly heard the sound of pots and pans banging coming from all directions behind them.
Looking back, they saw countless people coming towards them with kitchen knives in one hand and wash basins in the other. Some even found ropes to tie the wash basins on their heads as helmets.
"Charge! Against the Guo family! Open the city gates! Against the Guo family! Open the city gates!"
The common people did not know martial arts and had not received any training, but the soldiers blocking the city gate were already busy with their own affairs and had no time to take care of anything else, which gave the common people an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
After being instructed by Buruo's men, this group of civilians did not fight with the city defense troops and the imperial guards at all. Instead, they just grabbed the soldiers' thighs and arms in groups and dragged them aside or tied them up. Some of the strong ones even pressed down on the others to prevent them from getting up.
Soon, the north gate was broken and the Di family army entered the city, but the Bu family army, led by Xiao Jin, did not come in. After all, now... is the time for the people of Beining to vent their anger on the Guo royal family.
The old emperor looked at the open city gate with a panicked expression. He wanted to escape under the protection of the secret guards, but he was surrounded from a distance by the people holding washbasins.
"Kill! Kill them for me!"
The secret guards looked at the frightened people gathered from afar... and hesitated for the first time.
They are the royal secret guards responsible for protecting the emperor and eliminating dissidents for the emperor, but... is such an emperor really worth their lives?
The previous leader of the secret guards said when they were training them that although they were secret guards, they should also have their own judgment.
"Didn't you hear me say to kill them? Hurry up and kill anyone who dares to stand in my way!"
Just as the secret guards were about to take action, Di Xingjian rode up and said, "Your Majesty, there is no place for you to issue orders now. Your city defense troops and imperial guards have all surrendered. You are the only one left."
The old emperor spat out a mouthful of blood in disbelief: "No... Impossible, this is impossible. I am the emperor, the king of Beining."
"Bah! How can someone like you be worthy of being a king? How can a king like you not care about the lives of his people?"
"Yes, we don't want a king like you, and we don't want to be common people in Beining anymore. I just saw the regent and princess of the Great Zhou. There are also Bu's army outside the city. Let's surrender to the Great Zhou."
"Submit to the Great Zhou! Submit to the Great Zhou!"
The old emperor looked at Di Xingjian in shock: "You attacked the city... not for my throne? Don't you want to be the emperor yourself?"
"Become an emperor?" Di Xingjian said as if he had heard some ridiculous joke. "I'm just a warrior. I don't understand government affairs, nor do I understand your twists and turns. How can I be an emperor?"
"I attacked the city this time for the sake of revenge for my younger sister, and for Dairong and the people. As for your throne, I, Di Xingjian, have never set my eyes on it."
"Kill him! Kill him!"
The common people picked up rotten vegetable leaves from the roadside and threw them near the emperor. Although he was protected by secret guards, he was still covered in dirt.
Just when Di Xingjian was about to take action, the sunny sky suddenly darkened. In a few moments, dark clouds appeared and strong winds blew, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
"What's going on? Could it be that the Guo family is truly blessed by God and cannot be killed?"
"God is blind. He actually protects such a foolish king. He wants us all to die."
Even Jin Congcong, who was far away, hid behind Bu Ruo and trembled, "Ruo... Ruo'er, do you think there really is something protecting Guo? Could this be... a punishment from heaven for what we did to him?"
Bu Ruo rolled her eyes at him: "You really are... You're such a grown-up, but how come your brain isn't even as big as the little chick on Bu Bu's head?"
Little girl: I want to cry, but I hold it back.
"Really...really, is there someone protecting the Guo family?"
Bu Ruo pulled her sleeve back from someone's hand and said, "What protection are you talking about? The Guo family's dragon vein is hanging around your neck, so how can there be any protection?"
As soon as Bu Ruo finished speaking, a person suddenly flew down from the city wall. Upon closer inspection, who else could it be but the wizard?
The little girl tutted her tongue twice: "Last time at Zhang's house, Dad deliberately let him go. I wonder if he can bring that showy uncle here this time."
Xiao Jin came over and straightened the little girl's hair that was about to be blown away by the wind, and said, "Uncle Showoff didn't come. It was the nosy Ye Dad and the other woman who rescued him in the first place who came."
The little girl sighed listlessly, "That's such a pity. Last time my brother got into a fight with that snotty uncle, I was upset for a long time because I couldn't help him. I was hoping that I could beat him up with my brother this time."
