Chapter 497: A Family of Dandies Killed All the Civil and Military Officials in the Court (50)

The next morning, as the sun poured down on the walls of He'an County, countless remnants of soldiers knelt at the gate of the city in despair, waiting for the trial with ashen faces.

The war that was thought to last for many days ended yesterday night.

Zhang Shixu was very good at leading troops to fight, but he himself did not expect that everything would go so smoothly.

So when Jin Shu appeared, he walked over and whispered.

"How did you know that Li Yong's army had no food?"

"Uncle Zhang, you may not believe it, but the wolves on the western hilltop have a good relationship with me. They told me."

Zhang Shixu thought seriously for a while after hearing this, and then smiled.

"Sure enough, to accomplish great things, you must have the right time, right place and right people. It seems that not only God helps us, but even the wolves in the forest are helping us."

This is why Jin Shu does not reject getting along with Zhang Shixu.

He has a strong sense of boundaries, a good quality that is quite precious in modern times, and this ancient man has mastered it to perfection.

He will not ask any more questions that he should not ask.

In addition, he will not make you feel embarrassed or nervous. As the party who is rejected and disturbed, he can actually provide you with emotional value in return.

As expected, in ancient times, men who could pass the imperial examination and rise to prominence all the way, IQ and EQ are indispensable, and they are all top-notch.

After the first victory, Zhang Shixu did not choose to pursue the victory, but sent all the captured soldiers into the city, not only arranging doctors for them to treat them, but also preparing a hot meal for them.

Zhang Shixu is a natural orator. In front of these hungry soldiers, he promised houses, land and food, reduced taxes and improved soldiers' treatment.

In just one day, all 30,000 captured soldiers surrendered.

This time, Li Yong can be said to have suffered a miserable defeat. He originally led his troops to suppress the rebels with great momentum and improve his prestige. As a result, the army was hungry and their morale was greatly reduced before they reached the city gate.

Before the relief food was delivered, He'an County actually took the initiative to send troops and attacked fearlessly.

In this way, a battle that was originally sure to win ended up nailing Li Yong to the pillar of shame forever.

Not only that, the emperor of a country was chased by the enemy soldiers and lost his armor and armor. He was in a mess. The carriage and dragon sedan were all lost halfway. Li Yong got off the ground and fled with several soldiers from the small road.

Because he was missing an arm, Li Yong could not control his stability at all. Because of panic, he fell countless times along the way, and the originally gorgeous and luxurious dragon robe was covered with mud.

The jade crown on his head was lost, and his hair was scattered. When he came, he was still a king who was worshipped by the people, but now he has become a beggar who fled.

To make matters worse, Li Yong encountered the forest wolf that he was afraid of in his bones halfway.

More than a dozen wolves were chasing behind them, forcing them to run around like headless flies. They could not care about any direction, and their eyes could only see the road ahead.

Finally, they suddenly stopped in front of a wall. Li Yong looked no different from a crazy refugee.

His yellow robe was torn by the sand and branches along the way, and his face was black and dirty. Sweat rolled down and left white marks, which looked like tears left by excessive panic at first glance.

Li Yong raised his head in despair and looked at the wall in front of him. The heat wave from the wolf's mouth behind him made him involuntarily recall the fear of that day.

He couldn't stop shaking all over, his lips were pale and his thighs were trembling. The soldiers beside him had already blocked him, but they still couldn't eliminate the panic in his heart.

"Protect me! Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"

He directly pulled a younger soldier in front of him. His tall and strong body hid in front of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child. The scene was seen by other soldiers, and everyone showed an indescribable complex expression on their faces.

At this moment, the emperor's majesty and sacred image completely collapsed in their hearts.

As a king, facing this situation, the only thing he could think of was to retreat and use others as a scapegoat. The soldier who was holding a knife silently threw away the knife in his hand.

"Your Majesty, let's surrender."

"Surrender?! Bastard! Who allowed you to surrender?!"

At this time, the little soldier who was held in front of him shouted with red eyes.

"I don't want to protect a monarch like you! I would rather be eaten by wolves than follow you!"

Li Yong was furious, but in front of the wolf pack, he was even cautious about his anger.

Suddenly, the wolf pack slowly approached, and the black wolf king who bit off one of his arms approached Li Yong again.

This time, Li Yong didn't even have the courage to draw his sword.

He clearly remembered the heart-wrenching pain when the sharp fangs pierced his body. This pain seemed to be engraved in his heart. He couldn't control the fear in his heart at all, and it was lingering.

"Don't come over here!! Don't come over here!!"

In extreme fear, Li Yong kept retreating against the wall. Finally, he had nowhere to retreat. He sat down against the wall. His face was ashen and lifeless, and he was still mumbling.

"Please, please, don't eat me, don't eat me..."

Such a monarch completely chilled the soldiers on the side.

The soldiers who were still struggling threw away their weapons.

At this time, the wolves that were pressing forward slowly retreated to both sides.

Li Yong, curled up and shivering, raised his head in fear, and saw a figure walking slowly towards him against the light.

Somewhat familiar, but the cold temperament made him unfamiliar.

Until Jin Shu's face slowly appeared, Li Yong stared at her, his expression looked a little dumb and funny.

He never thought that he would meet Jin Shu again in this way one day.

He thought that when they met again, the old and young of the Jin family would be sent to the guillotine together.

But at this moment, he was the loser and Jin Shu became the winner.

The huge psychological gap and the hatred of the country being taken away gave Li Yong a force from the bottom of his heart, making him stand up suddenly and rush directly towards Jin Shu.

The black wolf stood in front of Jin Shu, grinning and threatening.

Li Yong's legs trembled, but he felt inexplicably confident in his heart.

The person standing opposite was Jin Shu, who loved him but couldn't get him, and was willing to give everything for him.

He endured for so long to ascend the throne, what's wrong with enduring a little longer now?

"Jin Shu... haven't you tortured me enough?"

Jin Shu looked down at him, and Li Yong couldn't see her expression at all.

"You are probably the last monarch of the Li family. It's not a loss that the country will perish in your hands."

After saying that, Jin Shu chuckled and waved her hand.

"Come on, take him away and hand him over to Lord Zhang for processing."
