Su Mibao: [It turns out that the battle in Yancheng was indeed a trap set by the emperor. Luo Mingsheng was just a fool who was used. His concubine also sent him a letter by carrier pigeon, saying that she was pregnant with his child and was waiting for him to return triumphantly. The family was reunited.]
Su Chengyi heard his niece's voice and finally understood why Luo Mingsheng would disregard his loyalty to the crown prince and his friendship with the Su family army and resolutely attack the Su family army.
Su Mibao: [Hey, I remember now. The emperor did send a letter to Luo Mingsheng by carrier pigeon, briefly describing what happened to Concubine Liu, and at the end he also said that Concubine Liu should be kept in the palace until General Luo returned to Beijing to take her back.]
Alas, the most beloved woman and child are in the hands of the emperor.
Luo Mingsheng would naturally choose to obey the emperor's will and eliminate the Su family army for the emperor.
However, he thought, did the emperor really allow the three of them to reunite?
Su Mibao finally remembered the most ridiculous truth.
Liu Hehua is not a woman of humble origin or unknown background.
All in all, she came from a pretty high background, just a little bit shameful.
She was actually the illegitimate daughter of the left prime minister's mistress. When the left prime minister was away, an official from another place gave her to him. After favoring her, he didn't care about her anymore. Unexpectedly, the woman gave birth to a daughter for the left prime minister, but the woman was unlucky and the daughter died at the age of one.
Only an old nanny took care of Liu Hehua. When she was fifteen years old, she went to the capital to find her relatives.
Unexpectedly, although Zuo Xiang saw him, my father did not recognize him.
At that time, Zuo Sheng was worried about the task assigned to him by the emperor to win over General Luo.
Seeing Liu Hehua's eyes light up, he decided to use the beauty trap.
"If you complete this task, I will acknowledge you as my daughter. After that, I will take you home and give you a new identity. Then you can marry a noble man and live a stable life."
Tsk tsk,
I remembered the scene in the original book where the father and daughter conspired in the study.
Sumibao could only sigh.
"Luo Mingsheng said that he received the order from the crown prince, asking us to launch an all-out attack. Although my father and elder brother have doubts, General Luo holds the seal of command and leads 300,000 Donglin troops. He will personally go into battle. Naturally, we, the Su family army, have no reason to object."
Su Chengyi's eyes turned red. "At that time, the troops were divided into eight groups to attack the Northern Frontier Camp. General Luo was the commander-in-chief, wearing armor and going into battle. My eldest brother led the vanguard, and my father led the right wing of the second group. The other six groups were all led by generals of the Donglin Army. We brothers stayed behind to guard the four major city gates."
Lost in that horrible memory, Su Chengyi's eyes turned bloodshot. "At that time, my third and fourth brothers guarded the east gate, my fifth and sixth brothers guarded the west gate, General Song and Deputy General Liu of the Donglin Army guarded the north gate. My seventh brother and I guarded the south gate."
Su Chengyi's heart was beating like a drum: [All I know is that many Northern Frontier soldiers rushed over and suddenly arrived at the city gate. For some reason, the city gate was opened. So many Northern Frontier soldiers rushed into the city gate, and my seventh brother and I couldn't defend it. My seventh brother's archery skills were unparalleled in the world. He shot and killed countless Northern Frontier soldiers along the way and forced the Northern Frontier back to the South Gate. Just when my seventh brother's horse stepped on the moat bridge, I don't know where the Northern Frontier soldiers came from. A total of 18 sharpshooters appeared and shot wildly at my seventh brother.]
Su Chengyi's face turned pale. "Eighteen sharpshooters from the Northern Frontier suddenly surrounded Brother Seven, who was on the suspension bridge with his horse. Brother Seven drew out his Heaven-shaking Bow, but found that it had been tampered with and the bowstring was broken."
When Su Chengyi said this, blood seemed to drip from his eyes. "Seventh Brother swung his spear tightly and blocked the rain of arrows. He rode his horse to the city gate and shouted to pull up the drawbridge and open the city gate."
Whenever Su Chengyi thinks of that scene, he still feels breathless.
He regretted it, very much.
He should not have listened to Lieutenant General Yang and led his troops to the city wall to fight the enemy. He should have gone out of the city gate with his seventh brother. Even if he died, he wanted to die with his seventh brother.
"But the city gates were shut and the drawbridge wasn't raised. I stood on the city wall and yelled at Deputy General Yang, but no one paid any attention to me. More Northern Frontier soldiers rushed up the city wall, and more rockets were fired at the city wall. People around me fell one by one, and the city wall caught fire, with huge flames all over the sky."
"The soldiers from the northern border rushed over the suspension bridge, and an unknown master cut the rope of the suspension bridge, so the bridge could no longer be raised. I could only watch, through the firelight, as Brother Seven's horse jumped over the suspension bridge and was about to rush to the city gate when it suddenly stumbled and fell into a pit. Although Brother Seven jumped out, the horse fell in and died."
Su Chengyi looked at Ye Ranqing's increasingly red eyes in front of him with regret and pain.
"Seven Northern Border masters besieged my seventh brother. I ran. I ran as hard as I could to the bottom of the city wall. I wanted to open the city gate for my seventh brother. But when I ran to the bottom of the city and opened the city gate..."
Su Chengyi will never forget it.
He opened the city gate, but saw his seventh brother lying on the ground, shot into a hedgehog by arrows.
He hugged his seventh brother tightly, who looked like a bloody corpse. His seventh brother had already died.
He plucked out the arrows one by one, a total of one hundred and three arrows, and seventy-two of them pierced his chest.
He was blood-thirsty and, carrying his dead seventh brother on his back, he fought at the other three city gates. He wanted to find his brother and his father.
As a result, all I saw was blood.
He led his twelve secret guards to the west gate, only to see his sixth brother, who had been chopped into pieces after being exhausted from fighting, and his fifth brother's confidant, who had red eyes, telling him that his fifth brother's horse had fallen into the moat and drowned. He left two secret guards to clean up the bodies of his two brothers.
When he rode to the north gate, he saw Lieutenant General Liu collapsed. The last words Lieutenant General Liu left for him before he died were that General Song II had been captured.
He rushed to the east gate and rescued his third brother, who was covered in blood and had an arm broken. Before he fainted, he told him that his fourth brother was trampled into a pulp by horses from Northern Xinjiang, leaving no trace of his body.
Finally, when he rushed to the inner city gate, covered in blood and looking like a madman, he saw his father's head hanging on the gate, as well as the heads of Su family's secret guards, Su Yi and Su Er.
With a loud scream, he fell off his horse and fell unconscious.
When he woke up again, he was already in a car. He had been transformed into a girl and was sent to Mujiabao.
Oh, that’s so miserable.
After listening to his uncle's thoughts, Su Mibao felt numb all over.
General Luo obeyed the orders of the emperor and the left prime minister and killed the nine generals of the Su family, which would have been ok, but he even arranged their deaths so tragically.
This Luo Mingsheng is such a piece of shit.
Even if he was willing to be used as a gun by the emperor and Zuo Xiang for the sake of a woman, he should not use such vicious means against his comrades-in-arms with whom he lived day and night.
hey-hey,
In fact, Su Mibao really misjudged General Luo this time.
General Luo arranged all the tasks according to what was written in Zuo Xin.
With his brain, even if he were asked to think, he wouldn't be able to come up with such a thorough and vicious plan.
The tragic ending of the nine generals of the Su family was indeed the result of the joint efforts of the emperor, Gu Tai, the left prime minister, and the regent of Northern Frontier, who all sent out spies.
