Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

On the 200-meter battle line outside the city of Seda, the 270,000-strong army led by Xie Yan and Di Liang were on full alert.

Xie Yan looked at Seda City with some concern.

This afternoon, not long after Xie Jin left the meeting tent, he came back and ordered Di Liang to lead his troops outside the city of Seda to wait for notification in the evening.

He and Feng Qingluan went in to do the work. If successful, the two would come out of the city.

If the plan failed, he sent a signal to immediately attack the city of Seda.

More than an hour passed, and just as everyone was waiting anxiously, the city gate opened and Xie Jin and Feng Qingluan walked out.

Behind them followed two rows of soldiers from the city of Seda and a general in armor.

Seeing the two being escorted out by the enemy army, Di Liang and Xie Yan looked at each other, both of them with surprise in their eyes, and led their troops towards Seda City.

Before coming here, Di Liang and all the soldiers under him had prepared for the worst.

If Xie Jin's lobbying fails, he will risk his life and forcibly attack the city of Seda.

However, Xie Jin and Feng Qingluan succeeded. They did not have to fight with the soldiers defending Seda City in a bloody battle, and did not spend a single soldier attacking the city. This was undoubtedly the best outcome for everyone.

In the second half of the night, the army entered the city of Seda.

While lying on the bed hugging Xie Jin, Feng Qingluan couldn't help but ask out her curiosity:

"What did you say to Shao Mingzhi? He agreed to surrender so readily."

Xie Jin hugged her, played with Feng Qingluan's black hair with his fingertips, and told her about how he captured Shao Mingzhi and released him three years ago.

"Shao Mingzhi can distinguish right from wrong and cares about the people. He is disheartened by Tuoba Han's incompetence and he is dissatisfied with the imperial court. The Karen Kingdom is doomed. The city of Yasani has been lost, and the other eleven cities have surrendered, indicating that most of the Karen people are unwilling to fight, or have long lost the confidence to resist, which has increased Shao Mingzhi's psychological burden.

In addition to these two points, there was one last burden that crushed Shao Mingzhi's spirit. That was that more than 200,000 Daxia troops were already standing on the front line of Seda City. He did not agree to surrender. There was only one outcome. All 60,000 old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers in the city would die in battle. Shao Mingzhi knew that he could not stop it. Surrender was the most sensible decision. "

After listening to Xie Jin's story, Feng Qingluan thought to herself that if she were Shao Mingzhi, she would make the same choice.

Instead of following Tuoba Han, who was courting death but overestimating his own capabilities, it is better to support Daxia, change the regime, and give the people a better life.

After taking over the city of Seda, the next place to be attacked was Anhuai, the capital city where Tuoba Han was located.

On the second day, the Daxia army held a celebration banquet in Seda City. They were only one step away from completely conquering the Kingdom of Karen. At this moment, the soldiers were relieved from the continuous fighting and fatigue over the past one or two months.

While the military and civilians in Seda City were living in peace, Tuoba Han, who was at ease in the capital, was on pins and needles.

When he got the news that Shao Mingzhi, the defender of Seda City, surrendered without a fight, he was so angry that he shook like a sieve. He threw everything on the table to the ground and smashed things in the bedroom to vent his anger.

"A bunch of bastards! All of them! How dare Shao Mingzhi, that traitor, surrender without a fight? That's Seda City! An Huai's last line of defense. He fought desperately, how could he not be able to resist Xie Jin's army? But he just gave Seda away like that! Xie Jin will attack the palace next. How hateful!"

Tuoba Han was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he was also extremely afraid. He quickly summoned his ministers to discuss how to escape.

He certainly couldn't hold on to his country, as it would be destroyed by Xie Jin and become a part of the Great Xia Kingdom. He had already been stigmatized and absolutely could not risk his life again.

One of the ministers said:

"Your Majesty, how about you go to Bakas for shelter? Bakas did not help us send troops to fight Daxia as agreed. You can go there and hide now. They will definitely help you. How about you make a decision after this period is over and it is safe?"

Tuoba Han glared at the minister who made the suggestion:

"Bakas went back on his word. He was the one who provoked the war between me and Daxia. He promised to stand with me to fight against Daxia, but when the Daxia army came, that dog emperor betrayed me. He did not send troops but instead tried to please Xie Jin, and was willing to establish diplomatic relations with Daxia for the next hundred years.

I was sold out by him. If you ask me to go to him now, won't that give him a chance to capture me and bring me to Xie Jin to seek credit? You idiot, you can even think of such a plan. Do you think I have lived too long?"

Just glaring at Tuoba Han was not enough to vent his anger, so he walked over and kicked the minister in the stomach, sending him flying!

Only then did he realize that the ministers he had always trusted were unable to come up with good ideas for development when the country was stable, and had no good way to help him when the country was in crisis. They were truly a bunch of useless people!

Tuoba Han paced anxiously in the palace. Seeing the panic-stricken faces of the ministers, he became even more furious. He drove them all out and called the commander of the guards:

"Instruct everyone, I will leave the palace tonight to seek refuge. Have everyone be prepared to escort me out!"

The guard leader said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

In the evening, night falls again.

The Daxia army in Seda City celebrated their victory around a bonfire.

Xie Jin was arranging the following matters in the meeting tent, while Feng Qingluan and Shen Wan were sitting in front of the campfire.

The soldiers were drinking happily, and Feng Qingluan's face was also illuminated red by the warm candlelight.

Feng Qingluan picked up the large bowl, grabbed a jar of wine and poured it into the bowl, then clinked glasses with Shen Wan beside her.

The weather was getting colder and colder. There was a big temperature difference between day and night here. Feng Qingluan felt warm all over after roasting the fire and drinking a bowl of wine.

Shen Wan's face flushed after drinking. Feng Qingluan looked at her with a smile:

"How are you and Jiang Qu getting along?"

Some time ago, Jiang Qu was injured on the battlefield. Feng Qingluan knew that he was interested in Shen Wan, so she asked her to help deal with it.

Previously, Shen Wan had always been cold towards Jiang Qu, but during this period of military life, she could see that Shen Wan was not without feelings for Jiang Qu.

Shen Wan said, "Just be friends. The snake girl hasn't appeared recently. I don't know what opportunity she's waiting for. She might show up one day. Let's deal with her first before we talk about the future."

Feng Qingluan understood that Shen Wan had unresolved issues and was worried, which gave Jiang Qu hope. However, she ended up dying in revenge with the snake girl, leaving the pain to the living.

She didn't want that and wanted to wait until everything was settled before considering personal matters.

Feng Qingluan looked at the blazing flames in front of her. She had been in the West for quite some time and had been in the midst of a war. This period of time was the best time for Zhan Yilu to take action.

But she didn't show up for a long time, which made her more and more worried.

A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. As long as Zhan Yilu is not eliminated, it will be like there is always a hidden bomb, threatening her life and the lives of those she cares about at all times.

Seeing Feng Qingluan staring at the bonfire in a trance, as if thinking about something, Xie Yan came over and sat next to her. He also poured himself a bowl of wine and drank it down. He turned around and asked Feng Qingluan:

"What are you thinking about?"

Feng Qingluan glanced at him, then looked towards the fire.

"I was wondering, what exactly did you mean by coming to the Marquis' Mansion that day to remind me to be careful? Is there something you couldn't tell me? Is it related to your father?"
