Hearing Guo Peng's order, Qiao Rui was pleasantly surprised, and quickly thanked Guo Peng, and then followed Xu Chu to the direction of his home.

Feng Guo on the side was even more happy when he saw it, and at the same time he had some regrets.

The second daughter of the Qiao family is really beautiful, with good appearance and good talent, if it weren't for Yuan Shu's sudden claim to be the emperor and everyone panicked, it is estimated that there are really a lot of people who come to the door to propose marriage.

But at this point, these two women are destined not to belong to themselves, but to the real master of this land, the most powerful one.

Powerful, mighty, difficult to shake, and mighty, as long as he appeared by his side, he didn't even dare to speak loudly.

A truly strong man.

Feng Guo couldn't help but sigh.

The defense in Shouchun City has completely collapsed, and the armies on all sides have formed a situation of encirclement, controlling the external traffic of the Imperial City, and the defeated troops are running in large numbers in the direction of the Imperial City.

"Let us in!"

"Open the door! Help me! ”

"Hurry up and open the door!"

The defeated soldiers who lost hope were chased by the soldiers of the Guo army, and they couldn't open the door, almost crazy, and at this time the battle cry of the soldiers of Guo soldiers came not far away, and the soldiers were even more panicked, and they knocked on the city gate desperately, and the soldiers on the city gate were also panicked, and hurriedly asked the officer what to do.

This kind of inquiry quickly converged into the ears of Lei Bo, the defender of the imperial city, who was directing the army to carry the materials for the defense of the city, and as soon as he heard that there was a disturbance outside the city, he immediately ordered the arrows to kill the rout soldiers outside the city, and drove them all away, and they were not allowed to stay in the city.

Seeing the arrows falling like rain on the city, the defeated soldiers under the city were frightened to the face of the earth, and they fled from the city with rolling and crawling, while still cursing that the people in the city must not die well, and the people who ordered it pierced their hearts.

"General, the army of Guo thieves has been surrounded, there are battle numbers on all sides, and we have been blocked."

The herald eagerly reported to Lei Bo what he knew.

Lei Bo frowned.

"Have you found out who opened the gates?"

"It's Qiaorui, Qiaorui is reversed, I heard that the army that took the lead in opening the city gate is Qiaorui's army."

"What about Ji Ling? What about Yang Hong? What about the crown prince? ”

"Some people say that General Ji is dead, and other subordinates really don't know."

He pushed the herald away and told him to continue to inquire about the news, and then looked in panic at the large field of torches that were lit not far away.

How many people do you have to have?

Shouchun City is over, and this imperial city is only guarded by more than 2,000 troops, how can it be defended?

Lei Bo was desperate.

Yuan Shu tried to evacuate the imperial city before, but when he came to the city gate, he was reported that the imperial city had been surrounded on all sides, and the possibility of breaking through was too low, basically impossible.

"Is Guo Zifeng going to force me to death?!"

Yuan Shu howled angrily, and then coughed violently, almost didn't come up in one breath, so frightened that everyone panicked, and finally gave Yuan Shu a sigh of relief, Yuan Shu took a few breaths, and ordered to return to Luan with a depressed face.

Helpless, really helpless, so Yuan Shu had to retreat to the palace.

In the palace, a group of women and children were crying.

Outside the palace, a group of guards were discussing their own back roads with panicked faces.

At this time, Han Yin came with three officials to escort the car, and heard a palace guard at the gate of the palace saying something like "I might as well run for my life", Han Yin was furious, and reprimanded the guard with righteous words, and then pulled out his knife and cut it, stabilizing the situation.

Although the situation was in crisis, the official authority of the high-ranking officials of the imperial court could not be shaken by these big-headed soldiers for a while, and the big-headed soldiers were shocked, and they knelt down to apologize, not daring to mention the matter of fleeing for their lives.

So Han Yin led people into the palace and asked to see Yuan Shu, seeing the apocalyptic scene of women and children crying in the palace, Han Yin couldn't help frowning.

"Han Qing! There you are! ”

Yuan Shu suddenly heard that Han Yin asked to see him, he was surprised and happy, and he couldn't believe it, but when he saw that Han Yin really came, he believed it, and looked at Han Yin with joy and sorrow, and tears flowed out.

"Your Majesty, the minister's escort is late, please forgive your majesty!"

Han Yin knelt in front of Yuan Shu to apologize to him, Yuan Shu immediately helped Han Yin up, and looked at Han Yin with a touched face: "Tribulation sees the truth, and now I know that Han Qing's love for me is true!" ”

"Your Majesty......"

Han Yin pursed his lips and forcibly held back his tears.

Yuan Shu felt ashamed that he had suspected Han Yin, and asked Han Yin again and again how many people he had brought to escort him.

"The minister is incompetent, only bring three loyal ministers, and four ministers, and are willing to protect His Majesty with their lives."

Hearing Han Yin say this, the flame of hope that had just risen in Yuan Shu's heart instantly seemed to be extinguished by a bubble of urine, and it was gone.

"Four loyal ministers...... I am the Emperor of the Chen State, is it possible that only four loyal ministers are willing to die for me?! What sin have I committed to allow God to treat me like this!! ”

Yuan Shu howled loudly, and then fell straight to the ground, scaring the people around him for a while, and finally helped Yuan Shu up and sent him back to the soft seat, Yuan Shu took a few breaths, and then held Han Yin's hand.

"Han Qing, what am I not doing well? Is the reward insufficient? Or is the official position not high? Why...... Why is it that only the four of you are willing to die for me, and the others are not? ”

Yuan Shu looked at Han Yin with heartache and incomprehension.

How could Han Yin answer Yuan Shu, do you want to say that you have done everything wrong except for the high official positions you have been rewarded?

In fact, Han Yin also knew that although he had done a lot of wrong things, this was not the fundamental reason why the Chen Empire collapsed half a year after its establishment.

The fundamental reason is that the Han Zuo is still alive, there is still a trace of vitality, Yuan Shu is too anxious, and he can't wait to call the emperor before the Han family is about to die, and then provoke the world to attack.

Of course, the biggest reason is that Guo Peng is too cunning and bastard.

Deeply affected by Yuan's kindness, he relied on Yuan's help to start a family in his early years, but once he rebelled, took away the five northern states, and went south to crusade against Yuan Shu, a never-ending posture, exhausted all kinds of means, and his mind was deep to the point of incredible.

Han Yin only hated himself for not seeing through Guo Peng's hypocritical appearance and heart full of desire as soon as possible, but it was too late to say this now.

Guo Peng has already reached the gate of the imperial city, and he is about to take the glory of the Yuan family as the victor, and on his side, there will be nothing left.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... I don't know. ”

Han Yin really couldn't bear to deal a bigger blow to Yuan Shu at the last moment.

can only say that he doesn't know what this matter is all about, and he doesn't know how the Chen Empire came to this point and how it perished.

Yuan Shu looked at everything in front of him sadly, looked at his wives and concubines, looked at his children, looked at Han Yin and the three loyal ministers, and at the loyal chamberlains.

"Is Yuan Highway really wrong? Shouldn't Yuan Highway really be called emperor? ”

Yuan Shu closed his eyes and burst into tears.

The nobles hugged each other in pain, Feng Shi silently shed tears, and the rest of the people also cried together, not knowing whether they were crying for themselves, Yuan Shu, or Chen Guo.

Probably more crying for myself......
