"Hmm. Look inside Yongzhou City, is there anything unusual?" Mu Run pointed to the huge city that was completely dark.
Bai Shalu said, "It would be strange if Yongzhou City were normal now."
Liu Xiaohuan said, "Oh? So we attacked this city for nothing?"
Mu Run laughed and said, "Of course not. This city is ours now. We can decide how to use it, or even leave it idle."
Liu Xiaohuan nodded, "Yes, this servant understands."
Bai Shalu said, "I have come here to request permission from the Queen to go to Yongzhou City to meet His Majesty."
“Go ahead,” Mu Run replied, “but are you physically capable?”
"No problem, Your Highness, please get some rest." Bai Shalu left with her entourage.
Liu Xiaohuan also wanted to go.
Mu Run said, "You shouldn't go. I'm starting to regret sending you to the battlefield. How am I going to explain this to your mother?"
"Your Highness, you may not know this, but my mother's ideas are different from those of ordinary officials' wives. Although she also teaches me music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, and household management, she also supports me in doing what I want to do."
"That's wonderful. Your mother is an open-minded and magnanimous person."
"yes."
"Is your mother's only child?"
“My father was injured in his early years and could no longer have children, so he only has me.”
"Life is full of imperfections, eight or nine out of ten. But if you take good care of one, it's worth a lot."
“The princess is right. However, my grandmother always tries to persuade my mother to accept my uncle’s illegitimate son as her own, but my mother refuses. My father got impatient and suggested that I find a son-in-law to come to our house.”
"Huh?" Mu Run asked in surprise, "Looking for a son-in-law?"
“This servant is not willing. It just so happens that the Princess and the King have come, so I have found an opportunity to escape from that house, to see the world outside, and to experience the various aspects of human life.”
"Hehe." Mu Run looked at Liu Xiaohuan with envy. "That's great."
...
Inside Yongzhou City.
Everywhere were walking corpses, including the Northern Jin army that hadn't been burned during the day.
They walked aimlessly. Some of the corpses walked out of the broken city gate, but turned back after encountering water. Clearly, they not only feared the sunlight, but also disliked water.
Fu Yunchen stood on the city wall, with Zhong Jiu, Qiao Dongzi and others beside him.
Looking at the corpses below the city wall, he said to Qiao Dongzi, "Fire."
Qiao Dongzi lit a tinderbox, and after it caught fire, he threw it down to the foot of the city wall. The corpses immediately surrounded it, but after discovering that there was nothing else besides the tinderbox, they quickly returned to their previous wandering state.
Zhong Jiu pried a brick off the top of the city wall and smashed it down.
The corpses immediately surrounded the source of the sound, but scattered when they found nothing there.
"The people in the city who could run away have all run away, and those who couldn't run away are all here."
"What the hell is this thing? It turned an entire city into a dead place overnight," Qiao Dongzi sighed. "Luckily, all our people are on the ship, otherwise we would be in big trouble."
Suddenly, a woman in red flew into the group of corpses, drew a long sword from her waist, and accurately beheaded the corpses.
Fu Yunchen looked at her, his eyes suddenly narrowing in disbelief.
Zhong Jiu and the others also saw it, especially the woman's appearance, which was comparable to Fu Yunchen's!
Their eyes were of different colors, one like a flame-gold color, the other like a blood-red color!
Her hair was as black as a raven, her skin as white as snow, and her lips as beautiful as a plum blossom. At first glance, her face appeared young and stunningly beautiful, but upon closer inspection, it revealed an eerie sense of vicissitude.
