As soon as Mo Yan opened her eyes, there was chaos and turmoil. Everyone looked at her with great fear, and her sons were kneeling in front of her.
"Mother, please let us go. We cannot surrender, absolutely not!"
If we surrender, what will happen to the people behind us? As officials and generals, how can we abandon the city and flee?
Even if I die on the battlefield, I will do it willingly.
They couldn't retreat; what would happen to the people behind them if they did? But their mother, after hearing Lan's words, actually threatened to kill herself, so they came over and knelt down.
Tinglan is the daughter of the eldest son, Kang Weiguo. She was well-educated and intelligent from a young age, and was favored by Moyan.
Mo Yan was a little confused. She rubbed her head, wondering what it all meant—surrender?
“Father, but if you don’t surrender, what will happen to the people in the city? The people are innocent. The Prince of An’s men said that as long as we surrender, they will not harm the people.”
I know you and your uncles are loyal to the emperor and love your country, but we should consider the people first.
grandmother……"
The girl in front of Mo Yan suddenly knelt down before her. She looked at Mo Yan with unwavering determination.
“Grandmother, Father is a good official, but he can’t disregard the safety of the people like this. He knows it’s impossible, yet he still insists on defending the city. This is irresponsible to the people.”
What will we do if something happens to Dad and my uncles?
Mo Yan looked at the girl in front of her and slapped her across the face.
"Bullshit! Your dad is a local official. If he runs away, what does that make him? A deserter?"
He retreated, but what will happen to the city behind him?
They say they won't kill, so they won't kill? You're going to believe the words of robbers?
Mo Yan walked directly to her sons, saying, "Get up. You should go to the city wall. Your people are waiting for you, and your soldiers are waiting for you."
"Thank you, Mother."
Although they didn't know why their mother had suddenly changed her mind and stopped threatening suicide, they were overjoyed and immediately stood up and led their people toward the city wall.
Mo Yan then looked at the woman crying on the ground. "Do you know where you went wrong?"
"My granddaughter doesn't know. Knowing she would die, why did she continue? Why fight when everyone could have survived? Can't we live in peace?"
If everyone could just calm down and talk things out, wouldn't that be better? Grandmother, aren't you afraid something might happen to Father?
My second and third uncles were skilled in martial arts, but my father was just a scholar. A scholar who couldn't even kill a chicken.
The woman spoke with tears streaming down her face, her words filled with genuine emotion, every single one of them so sincere.
"You think you can reason with a robber? Kang Tinglan, I suspect all the books you've read over the years have gone to waste."
Even your father, who is weak and helpless, knows he can't surrender, but you really disgust me.
Get out of my way, I'll deal with you later.
Mo Yan pushed Kang Tinglan away and immediately ordered the steward to gather all the servants. "Go and tell the people in the city to send their children, the elderly, and women to a safe place. We will not stop those who want to leave, and we will protect our homes together with those who want to stay."
"Madam, aren't you leaving?"
The butler looked at the old lady in shock. He really couldn't believe it. His old lady had always been... well, he didn't know how to describe her. She shouldn't be such a fearless person.
"Of course, my son is here, my home is here, why would I leave?"
Even if we die in battle, we will defend the city walls until the very end!
When those words were spoken, everyone's expression changed.
"Yes, Madam."
They immediately began evacuating the people. The evacuation had started a week earlier, but no one wanted to leave. This was their homeland, their home; how could they leave?
Mo Yan also accepted the memories at this time.
This time, Mo Yan is a proper old lady, 55 years old, and will be passing away in a few years.
My son is a county magistrate. This place is near the border, it's tough and poor, all sand, it's not a good place at all.
And people from the opposite country are eyeing us covetously.
The female protagonist of this story is Mo Yan's granddaughter, Kang Tinglan. She is a super Mary Sue heroine. There's a saying that goes, "All the men in the world love me."
Kang Tinglan initially saved a man, a prince from a neighboring country. The two secretly fell in love, and in the end, she saw the prince off.
Of course, no one knew about this. Later, that man, who was also King An, came, and they attacked the Yun Kingdom.
Kang Tinglan then realized that the other party was Prince An. Prince An said that as long as they surrendered, he would never harm the people in the city. So she begged her grandmother to take her father and uncles away.
The original owner was an old woman from the countryside who had raised her children with great difficulty. Seeing them achieve success and fame, she did not want them to die. So she agreed to Kang Tinglan's approach and forced them to surrender by threatening suicide.
The sons refused and were knocked unconscious. Kang Tinglan opened the city gates, and they went on a killing spree.
Corpses littered the ground everywhere, and the female protagonist wept bitterly as she watched helplessly as they killed her father and uncle.
She and her grandmother lived as refugees, but she refused to use martial arts because she didn't want to hurt her enemies.
Kang Tinglan is kind-hearted and doesn't want to kill. That's why the original owner of this body took care of her. Why did the original owner know martial arts? Because she raised her sons by wielding a large sword.
Even after the original owner was arrested, she maintained an attitude of "I can't fight, I can't kill."
Finally, she was... you know. Good grief, she immediately transformed into a ruthless heroine, killing a whole bunch of people.
So her uncle doesn't matter, her father doesn't matter, her grandmother who raised her doesn't matter, what matters most is her innocence.
Seeing the end, Mo Yan managed to suppress her urge to kill her. What kind of garbage is this?
Your innocence is less important than your family.
The men who liked her were all oddballs: an emperor and a prince. They treated war like child's play, initially fighting for territory, and later for women.
So you don't care about rivers of blood or corpses strewn across the fields, but you'd fight to the death for a woman and then become best buddies in the end?
In the end, it was a happy ending, and the three of them lived happily ever after.
As for those who died, they are not important, not at all.
No, that's not right either. At least the female lead went and cried a lot. She said, "Father, Uncle, Grandmother, you can rest in peace now. I've found two people who love me very much."
Oh, the original owner was killed by Prince An, but the female lead forgave him. Isn't that incredibly kind?
Mo Yan was already thinking about how to kill Kang Tinglan. Damn it!
What's the point of keeping this garbage? What's the point of keeping it?
I'm so angry!
And that emperor, the safety of the people is not important, a woman is the most important. If that's the case, you might as well not be emperor.
It's not that you can't be with one person for life, but you're an emperor, and you're willing to give up everything for a woman? Where do you think you are with your people? Have you lost your mind?
