From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1056

The black cloud was like a pool of sewage in the sky, pouring down continuously, as if to swallow up this world

Wanyan Daichan had used up all her strength and collapsed on the ancient city wall.

She looked around, there were corpses everywhere, blood had soaked the thick city wall, the thick fishy smell enveloped everything, and in the blurred picture, some people were still screaming and fighting.

Twenty to thirty thousand people were killed just like that, and there was no rout...

They paid everything for this city.

But... what did they get in return?

The sky collapsed, the city was broken, and what was coming would still come.

Leader? Am I really worthy of being a leader?

Huang Taiji, you gave me everything, but the first thing I did after I took office was to push Shenzhou into the fire pit.

Wanyan Daichan looked at the tragic scene numbly. She wanted to cry loudly and vent all the sadness in her heart, but she couldn't do it, because if she fell, what would the remaining people do?

Rush into the enemy camp and die, so that you don't have to bear anything and you are free...

But what about the Jurchens in the future?

Without my leadership, they will not listen to Zhou Yuan so easily, and more people will die.

I can't fall down, I don't even have the qualifications to die.

I must be strong, I must swallow all the pain and pressure into my stomach, digest it alone, and pretend that nothing happened.

Wanyan Daichan finally understood the price of leadership.

She finally understood what Zhou Yuan and Huang Taiji had endured.

Stand up! Stand up, Wanyan Daichan! You don't have the qualifications to rest! So many people need you! So many people!

Tears slid down her cheeks, washed away the blood, and dripped onto the ground.

Wanyan Daichan stood up with difficulty, wiped the tears from her face, and shouted: "I won't fall down!"

She took the remaining guards down the tower and hid like countless people.

She saw the night fall.

She saw the soldiers of the Tsarist Empire rushing into the city.

Without any hesitation, they rushed into every house and launched a crazy massacre and looting.

They moved out the only food, and they lit the fire, which plunged the city into a sea of ​​fire.

An old man escaped from the sea of ​​fire with a child in his arms, but faced swords and spears.

One person after another fled in panic, and screams and grim smiles came from the darkness.

Wanyan Daichan witnessed everything and finally couldn't help crying, crying heartbreakingly.

"They are still children!"

She rushed towards the enemy, but her whole body was exhausted, and she was tripped by the corpse and fell to the ground.

Cai Ni pulled her and choked: "Master, don't go... Wait for the young master to come..."

Wanyan Daichan stood up with difficulty and looked back at Cai Ni.

Her face was crystal clear, and it was tears reflecting the flames.

She cried bitterly and asked in a trembling voice: "Cai Ni, everything has a price, right?"

"We invaded Da Jin, killed people, and robbed food. So now that we want to integrate into Da Jin, we will definitely experience the same pain as them."

"This world is really a cycle of reincarnation, and retribution is inevitable!"

"This is retribution!"

She cried to the sky, and finally couldn't help kneeling down, saying with difficulty: "We... were wrong..."

Behind her, the few dozen remaining soldiers also sighed and slowly knelt down.

Cai Ni was extremely heartbroken. She quickly squatted down and hugged Wanyan Daichan, saying softly, "Master, Master, don't think too much. Everything will be fine."

"Cai Ni doesn't believe in retribution in the world. Cai Ni only knows that when I was most helpless, it was Master who saved me."

"When I couldn't find hope in life, it was Master who saved me."

"When the Great Jin was about to rot, Master appeared. The Jurchens couldn't stand it anymore. Master must also hold on."

"The hatred in the past will eventually pass, because a good life is heavier than hatred."

In the darkness, Cai Ni hugged her master tightly.

Just like when she was picked up by her master on that dark rainy night.

"Little girl... follow me in the future..."

The voice in the memory is so clear, but it has traveled through more than ten years...

"Master... follow me..."

They completed each other's redemption, in the same dark night, when each other was also the most vulnerable.

No one slept well that night.

Massacre and escape, grim smiles and screams, pain and venting, all filled the darkness of this night.

The flames could not illuminate the evil that happened in this city. The only thing that could truly illuminate all this was the dawn of the world that never missed.

The east was bright, and the wisps of red light rose from the end of the horizon, like the most blazing flames and the most dazzling light between heaven and earth, dispelling all the darkness in this city.

"Kill into the city!"

Zhou Yuan roared, and the Jin cavalry rushed into the ancient city that had gone through vicissitudes.

The essence of the brilliant civilization accumulated in the long river of history was now filled with blood.

The cavalry roared, shouting the slogan that had been set long ago: "Protect Shenzhou! Kill all the northern invaders!"

The majestic team passed through the streets, and the shouts seemed to wake up the sleeping city.

The soldiers of the Tsarist Empire had left from the eastern gate at the moment before dawn.

Zhou Yuan saw all this and sighed in his heart.

He could only give the order: "Wang Xiong, raise the flag of the Jin Dynasty, lead the cavalry to shout throughout the city, let the survivors come out, tell everyone, we are here, it is safe here."

Wang Xiong nodded gently, looked around, and said bitterly: "After a night of massacre, I am afraid that most people died."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "Fortunately it is night, it is not easy to find people, otherwise it will be more tragic."

"Alas..."

Wang Xiong sighed and led the cavalry to shout throughout the city.

"The enemy has escaped! It is safe!"

"The soldiers of the Tsarist Kingdom have been driven away, and the Jin Dynasty's allied forces are here to rescue you!"

"Come out quickly! It is safe!"

Amid the shouting, people gradually poked their heads out from various hidden corners, but they did not dare to come out boldly.

This city was scared by the killing.

Wanyan Daichan is their best medicine.

"Ugh..."

Dai Si lay on the horse's back, vomiting all over the sky, completely losing her ladylike image.

She had not recovered from her illness, and she could not bear to see such a disgusting and bloody scene.

Zhou Yuan looked at her and whispered, "Dai Si, you see, war is more than just tiring, right?"

Dai Si could not answer at all. She just kept vomiting, even vomiting acid, but still could not stop the spasm of her stomach.

She had suffered, but was still well protected by Kolodiya. She had never seen such a cruel scene.

Zhou Yuan did not comfort her. He just winked at the guards, asking them to protect Dai Si, and then dismounted and walked forward.

At the end of the street, where the corpses were piled up, a dark figure was standing there staggeringly, as if he had lost his soul.

"Young Master..."

Cai Ni ran over and threw herself into Zhou Yuan's arms.

She trembled and said, "Master, please save Master, Cai Ni feels so bad for her..."

Zhou Yuan gently patted Cai Ni's back and whispered, "Master, leave everything to you, you've worked hard."

Cai Ni quickly let him go and said, "Quick, go and comfort Master, she...she's really dying..."

Zhou Yuan nodded and walked slowly towards Dai Chan.

He saw her.

She was no longer the mysterious and noble Dark Moon Dharma King. She was covered in blood and her cheeks were black, black from the fire...

The helmet had been thrown on the ground, and her messy long hair was mixed with tears and blood.

She was so embarrassed and so heartbreaking.

Zhou Yuan walked up to her and whispered, "The fire is still burning. Half of the people in Shenzhou are still alive. You are their hope to survive."

Wanyan Daichan looked up at him and said numbly, "Is this what a leader has to bear? So many people died in the recovery of the Central Plains, so many soldiers died in Fenglangjuxu, and so many compatriots died in the southern naval battle. How did you bear it?"

Zhou Yuan said, "The Holy Mother is with me."

Wanyan Daichan smiled miserably and shook her head, "I have nothing."

Zhou Yuan hugged her in his arms.

Wanyan Daichan finally couldn't help crying again, crying heart-wrenchingly: "It's retribution! It's retribution! I know! We know we are wrong!"

"The Jurchens did something wrong and are paying the price now."

"I did something wrong before and I paid the price."

"I don't want to go on like this, I want to end it all, wuwu... Zhou Yuan... end it all... I really can't bear it..."

"I'm so sad... I wish I could die now... But I don't even have the right to die..."

She raised her head, tears streaming down her face, and tremblingly said: "Isn't the punishment I've received enough?"

Zhou Yuan held her face and said softly: "I'm here! I'll make the decision for you!"

"I'll make the decision for Shenzhou!"

"I'll make the decision for all this suffering!"
