Chapter 190 The Second Daughter of the Liu Family Wants to Defend the City
Although Mrs. Gu felt that her son had brought honor to her, she did not dare to agree.
"I'll ask Shaoyu when he comes back, but I can't guarantee anything. As you know, not only the Linshi Museum, but also the Haicheng Museum is working with the studio. They want to do some research on traditional crafts from the Tang and Song dynasties next year."
But that’s all in the past.
Chen You finished her work in the studio, packed up her things, and prepared to go home early.
There is still something going on in the Da Qi plane.
——
At this time, in the northern part of Da Qi.
Just as cold as ever.
Liu Yunyan rode the fastest horse of the caravan and traveled day and night and finally arrived at Shuozhou City.
Half a day earlier than the scheduled time.
Along the way, I don’t know why, but my mind was always restless. I had an inexplicable panic and a bad premonition.
Especially yesterday afternoon.
After thinking about it carefully for a long time, I didn't know what went wrong. I didn't encounter any attacks from foreigners on the road. It can be said that everything was calm.
But she just felt uncomfortable.
I could only hurry on my way, as if doing so would help me calm down.
After returning to the familiar place and entering the city, the feeling of depression and anxiety became even stronger.
"Second Miss, you're back!"
Less than a hundred meters away from her home, a young general in the city recognized Liu Yunyan.
"Did something happen?" Liu Yunyan looked at the young general's expression of hesitation and grief, and suddenly realized something, and his face turned pale.
"It's my dad? What happened to him?!"
"Mr. Liu"
The young general lowered his head, unable to speak. He simply couldn't believe that Lord Liu had collaborated with the enemy and betrayed his country, and committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
It was clear that a few days ago, he led everyone to defend Shuozhou City to the death.
Liu Yunyan could no longer bear it, so she walked around him, mounted her horse and rushed forward. When she arrived at her doorstep, she stared blankly at the white lanterns and white cloth hanging in front of the door.
I finally understood why I felt so uncomfortable on the road.
The people in the city looked at her with complicated and angry eyes.
"I never thought that the one collaborating with the enemy was actually Lieutenant General Liu!"
"He said that as long as he was alive, he would defend Shuozhou and protect our safety, but he colluded with foreign tribes behind our backs! How could he have the nerve to hang white cloth in the city and make such a big show!"
Liu Yunyan took a deep breath, clenched his fingers into a fist, said nothing, and just walked towards the door.
Looking at the coffin parked in the middle, she rushed over, looked at her father's closed eyes and pale face, and hot tears rolled down her eyes.
Some time ago, when the news reached the capital, she and her grandmother had a premonition, and her grandmother worshipped the Buddha's head for several days.
Later, Shuozhou City was defended and she thought the situation would be better.
But I never expected that I would see such a scene when I came back, and I never expected that my father was lying here, charged with treason.
"Second Miss, why are you back?" The confidant who had been with Liu Shou for half his life was helpless and anxious.
"Hurry, get out of the city now! If things get chaotic later..."
"Uncle Zhou, my father would never collaborate with the enemy." Liu Yunyan raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.
Uncle Zhou said sadly, "We all believe that adults would not do such a thing."
But what’s the use if they don’t believe it? Xiao Yunpeng has produced the evidence. The most important thing now is to save the second young lady!
"Stop talking, leave quickly, our old bones are still not enough to guard your father's funeral hall."
"Since I'm back, I have to defend the city."
Liu Yunyan knelt down with red eyes, kowtowed three times, pulled over the white linen shirt and put it on herself.
"Kid, why don't you listen to advice?" Uncle Zhou wiped away his tears anxiously.
"My father's body must be returned to his hometown and buried with military honors, instead of being left in the North as a traitor!"
Liu Yunyan looked ahead with a firm voice.
At this time, someone behind him hurriedly ran in to report, "It's bad, the foreigners are gathering to attack the city."
The northern border is strategically located, and the city gate leading out of Shuozhou is built in the middle of tall mountains, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
But if foreigners break through this gate, the city behind will be in danger.
Originally it was Liu Shouzai who had been in a stalemate with the foreigners for so long, but the other side never succeeded in taking the city.
Now that they knew Liu Shou was dead, they could no longer contain themselves, especially since there was a real accomplice in the city.
So many people's lives were sacrificed just to help people in the capital seize power.
"You heard it too. Your father is gone. Nothing can happen to you again." Uncle Zhou continued to persuade.
The next moment, he put away his facial expression and looked at the person who came with caution.
It was Xiao Yunpeng. He was still as polite as ever and said with concern,
"Yun Yan is back. Hey, your father's matter was caused by his mistake. It has nothing to do with you. Don't worry. Although Lieutenant General Liu is guilty, he also made contributions in defending the city. I will also find a way to deal with it so that you will not be implicated in this matter."
Liu Yunyan's eyes were red, and her tone was calm, "The foreigners are about to attack, Uncle Xiao, what are you going to do?"
"Of course I want to defend Shuozhou, but now, the soldiers are injured or dead, there is no medicine, no supplies to keep warm, and even firewood for making fire is gone."
Although he came to confront others, Xiao Yunpeng did not tell anyone everything.
Later, when it gets dark, the foreigners with the defense map will launch a surprise attack.
He wanted to defend, but there was no other way. He couldn't see anything in the wind and snow, and he was really powerless to change the situation. He could only save his troops and find a way to meet up with reinforcements and fight back.
If anyone is to blame, blame Liu Shou who leaked the defense map.
Someone was blamed and died, and Liu Shou and other close associates also sacrificed their lives in Shuozhou City.
It's up to him to say what.
"So you want to abandon the city and flee?" Liu Yunyan knelt in front of Liu Shouling, clenching his fingers into fists so hard that his finger bones turned white.
Xiao Yunpeng's face darkened a little, and he was about to refute with righteous words, but Liu Yunyan spoke again.
"You let me into the city on purpose, just to make me admit my father's crime of collaborating with the enemy."
Once the daughter admits it, the dirty water on her father can never be washed away.
"Yunyan, I know it's hard for you to accept what your father did. I didn't believe it at first." Xiao Yunpeng sighed towards the mourning hall as if he was very disappointed.
"Aren't you the one who collaborated with the enemy? General Xiao, you know better than anyone how innocent my father is."
Liu Yunyan stood up and looked directly at Xiao Yunpeng, "You said my father was a traitor, I don't admit it. You are afraid of death and want to abandon the city, so I will defend Shuozhou City!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunpeng smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of contempt and sarcasm.
"Your father just died. I won't take it seriously if you say these things. I'll just treat it as a little girl throwing a tantrum.
You come to defend the city? Yunyan, although you grew up in the north and have fought in battles, you are just a woman with no official rank. How can you command the soldiers in the city?"
Just like her father, she doesn't know how to adapt, can't see the situation clearly, and is courting her own death.
Liu Shouzai used to be a striker, what is she now?
"You said I was collaborating with the enemy. Where is the evidence? If you don't have any evidence, don't say such things again."
Liu Yunyan said word by word, "How do you know? I can't find any evidence."
