The Time Traveling Prince Consort Plans to Rule the World for Me

As the three men rushed out of the courtyard, they had a lot of thoughts in their mind. The only thing that could make the people panic was a sudden attack by the enemy. However, it was raining so hard and the city gates were heavily guarded. If the enemy suddenly attacked in broad daylight, how could the sentinels on the city walls not notice it? And if they did, how could they not blow the horn?

However, when the three of them left the house, they suddenly smelled a foul and rotten smell. Mu Yan sniffed hard and was about to say something when he heard an old lady on the street push open the door and yell, "Where does the smell of death come from? Whose grave has been dug up?"

The smell of a dead person? The three of them frowned. Isn't this the smell of a dead person? And the three of them couldn't smell this smell in the yard, but now that they were on the street, the smell was even stronger.

The streets were full of people running with their noses covered with their sleeves. Mu Yan grabbed an old man and asked, "Uncle, what happened?"

The old man showed a look of horror, pointed at the river that ran through the city not far away, and said in a trembling voice: "There's an accident over there. The river is full of dead bodies."

After the old man finished speaking, he seemed to think of the horrible and disgusting scene just now, and he ran to the wall and vomited in pain.

Several people hurried towards the river with solemn expressions. When they arrived at the river, the scene before them shocked them - countless soldiers' corpses were floating densely on the wide river!

Some of these dead bodies were wearing military uniforms of the Dongyue Kingdom, while others were wearing ordinary people's clothes, but their deaths were equally miserable and horrific.

They looked like they had been treated roughly. Many of them had incomplete skin and limbs, with no intact part of their bodies.

Mu Jin looked at everything in the river in front of him and his face turned pale instantly.

After breaking into the city, they set up a mechanism upstream of the river to prevent living spies from diving into the city.

However, they never expected that Su Yuntian found so many dead bodies from somewhere and threw them into the river, so that the water of Liancheng River was polluted and turned black!

The appearance of these horrific corpses in the river not only brought great panic to the people of Liancheng, but also caused the entire Liancheng population to lose their only source of water.

Mu Yan covered his mouth and nose, and cursed: "Is Su Yuntian really that capable? He dug up these dead people to help him build his kingdom! Isn't there any capable Dongyue soldier now?"

The stench of corpses filled the river, causing Mu Jin's head to ache. She frowned and felt extremely worried.

So many dead bodies floating in the river not only seriously pollute the river, but also the wells in the homes of the people in the city are connected to the river. If these corpses are not dealt with quickly and the water source is not purified, once a plague is triggered, the consequences will be disastrous!

The people of East Vietnam had an extremely difficult life due to years of war.

The plague and snowstorm that swept across the country last year claimed countless lives.

Everyone had not yet recovered from their grief, but after Su Yuntian ascended the throne, he ignored the difficulties of people's livelihood and instead increased taxes to attack Southern Shu, leaving the already impoverished lower-class people with nowhere to go. Therefore, the thing that was most lacking in Dongyue was dead bodies.

Su Yi stood by the river, his black and white eyes looking at the horrible corpses floating on the river, his dark pupils overflowing with chills. "Su Yuntian's move is to make Liancheng regret it!"

Mu Yan frowned and looked at the two of them, and said, "What should we do?"

Before Su Yi could make a decision, a horn suddenly sounded outside the city wall: "Enemy soldiers are attacking--"

Hearing the sound, several people ran to the city wall. Under the heavy rain, the dark army of Dongyue was approaching this side.

No one expected that Su Yuntian, who was beaten into a loser the night before, would counterattack against Nanshu so quickly.

The Dongyue army camped a hundred feet away from the Liancheng city tower. They were not in a hurry to attack the city, as if they knew from the beginning that even if they didn't fire a single soldier or arrow, Nan Shu would abandon Liancheng. They didn't come to fight, they came to see Nan Shu's joke.

Su Yi looked at the approaching Dongyue army with a gloomy look. Finally, he seemed to have made a great decision and said, "Take all the people in Liancheng and retreat to Liangcheng!"

Mu Jin turned around and said to Su Yi angrily, "We took this city with great difficulty, but are we going to hand it over so easily?"

"Ah Jin, let alone the Dongyue army coming at this time, there are corpses full of plague in the river. We can't stay in Liancheng any longer."

"But this is the home of the people of Liancheng for generations!"

Mu Yan stepped forward and Su Yi comforted Mu Jin, saying: "Ah Jin, taking a step back is only temporary. After destroying Dongyue, we will always come back to help the people of Liancheng rebuild their homes."

Mu Jin also knew this. Yes, the water source of Liancheng was polluted. Even if they stayed to fight, without clean water supply, they would not be able to fight against Dongyue. Liancheng was destined to be an abandoned city.

But she really didn't want to give up. The capture of two cities had boosted the morale of Southern Shu. How could she be willing to retreat without a fight this time?

Mu Jin stood on the city wall, glaring at the Dongyue army in front of her, while behind her, officers and soldiers from Nanshu were going door to door to inform the people of Liancheng to evacuate from another city gate.

Mu Jin stood on the city wall for a long time, unwilling to leave, until a rain of arrows from the East Yue army came.

Su Yi flashed in front of Mu Jin and used the sword in his hand to chop away the arrows.

"Ajin! Let's go!" No matter how unwilling Mu Jin was, he turned around and ran down the city wall with Su Yi.

Su Yi whistled, and Yinglong came running from the corner of the street at full gallop. At this time, most people in the city had almost evacuated. The two of them rode on the same horse and rushed towards the south gate.

It was not easy to evacuate the entire city's population this time. Although Nan Shu left 10,000 soldiers in Liancheng to buy time for the people to evacuate, there were many people along the way and the mountain road was very difficult to walk on in the rain. Even though the horses had been given to the elderly, the weak, women and children, the road was still in trouble.

Everyone walked into a valley, and Mu Yan came down to take shelter there for the night.

As a result, Mu Jin opposed it. "We only leave more than 10,000 people in Liancheng to fight against Su Yuntian's 100,000 troops to buy time for this retreat. If those more than 10,000 soldiers can't hold on, then when Su Yuntian's army catches up, these powerless people will have no way to survive."

"But Ah Jin, it has been raining heavily tonight and the mountains are pitch black. If any civilian steps into the air in this valley, there is no way they can survive."

This is also a fact. Mu Jin remained silent. "Distribute the food to the people first, and then rest for half an hour before setting off."

The Mu siblings looked at Su Yi, and saw Su Yi said: "Let someone prepare some long hemp ropes later, and everyone will hold them and walk. The soldiers will lead the way in front. Even if one person falls into the air, the others can pull him up."

Everyone knew that they really couldn't stay here for long, and they had to speed up and retreat to Liangcheng as soon as possible.
