Accidentally dressed as an empress

at night

The outskirts of Lingyun City were pitch black.

In a cowshed on a farm, a cow was attracted by alfalfa. The cow was chewing the alfalfa in big mouthfuls and was quietly led away by a man in black.

Half a mile outside the granary, the men in black yoked the stolen cattle.

They also stole dozens of military carts from the empty garrison camp, but instead of having people standing on them, they stuffed the carts with hay and poured oil on them.

The man in black used a bow and arrow to start a fire and set the hay on the cart on fire.

The man in black whipped the whip violently, and the cow ran forward in pain.

Ten oxen pulled the burning hay cart and ran quickly towards the granary. They kept shaking their heads, but they couldn't get rid of the heavy load behind them.

The granary's defenders were charging at them with flaming bullocks. No one had ever seen anything like this, so they all dodged the bullocks. The hay on the carts ignited the thatch of the granary, and some panicked bullocks rushed into the granary, creating chaos and flames shooting up into the sky.

Thick smoke billowed from the thatched roof of the granary.

The defenders were also in a panic. They ran out to avoid the fire and the rushing cattle. The men in black jumped out. The panicked granary defenders were no match for the men in black who were well prepared. They were all killed and became innocent souls under the knife.

After the men in black left, the people in the village next to the granary discovered that the granary was on fire and that their cattle had been stolen.

They spontaneously went to fetch water from the well to put out the fire, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

Some people have stopped, shaking their heads and sighing, "This fire can't be put out."

The granary keeper poured water from the wooden barrel over himself and shouted, "There will always be some that cannot be burned. Whatever we can get back will be saved!" Then he took up his rake and rushed in from the side of the granary. The rest of the people were inspired and also picked up their rakes and rushed into the sea of ​​fire.

System alarm, [Host, host, something terrible has happened. The granary in Lingyun City is on fire.]

This tactic of burning the granary is too cruel. There are so many people in Lingyun City. If there is a shortage of food, who knows how big a mess it will cause.

The granary caught fire, and Yunxiu was far away in the palace, unable to do anything. She felt helpless and powerless.

Her mind was filled with the stories in history books about famines and cannibalism. When people are starving and hungry, they can do anything.

Yunxiu got up from the bed quietly, not wanting to disturb Zhong Yi. Zhong Yi closed his eyes, turned over, and fell asleep again.

Yunxiu walked outside and asked, "Tongzi, how much does it cost to make it rain in Lingyun City?"

[I'm sorry, host. There aren't enough clouds over Lingyun City tonight. Even if it rains, it won't be enough to put out the fire in the granary.]

The main reason is that the host has to pay a price of ten years. The system does not intend to tell the host, because the host is hard-mouthed but soft-hearted, and may really sacrifice ten years.

Yunxiu thought about it and felt that there should be other ways to solve the problem of the granary burning. She could go to other cities and countries to buy grain.

The system interrupted her thoughts, [The assassin is not far away.]

Yunxiu said to the system, [Spend points to buy Spear Mastery and Bow Mastery.]

A flash of white light passed through her body, and Yunxiu now had a feeling that she could handle any weapon with ease, long weapons, short weapons, bows, she could use them all.

In the blink of an eye, an arrow pierced the window and shot into the house, but Yunxiu dodged it.

Yunxiu hurried to the inner room, walked to the bedside, and pulled Zhong Yi up, "Ayi, wake up, there is an assassin."

Zhong Yi opened his eyes, hugged her and turned over, avoiding the arrow that was shot in front of the bed.

On the roof, Su Qing had already started fighting with two masked assassins.

Su Qing used a short knife to block an assassin's dagger and pushed it away, then with a side kick, kicked another assassin off the roof; she pulled out a long knife and stabbed the assassin in the stomach, then kicked him hard again, and the assassin fell from the roof to the ground.

Suddenly a short arrow flew in the air and Su Qing dodged it sideways.

There was also an archer on the opposite eaves. Su Qing zigzagged, dodging the arrows shot at her, and quickly approached the archer. Seeing that the situation was not good, the archer drew his bow and tried to escape.

Su Da stood in the courtyard, drew his bow and shot an arrow that hit the archer right in the chest.

Su Qing seized the man's bow and arrow and jumped off the roof.

The guarding garrison soldiers all fell to the ground. Yunxiu brought Zhong Yi out of the house and saw Su Qing. She said, "Let's go find someone to join us. We can't be defeated one by one."

Su Qing blew the whistle, and thirty secret guards appeared with weapons in hand.

Under the yellow light of the lanterns on the eaves, Yunxiu saw Su Qing handing over a bow and arrow. Yunxiu took it and handed the bow to Zhong Yi, saying, "Take it."

Zhong Yi's expression froze for a moment, and he said, "My archery skills aren't very good."

Yunxiu took off her sword and handed it to Zhong Yi. She took the bow and arrow herself. She had just learned how to use it, and it should be useful.

Following the system's aiming prompts, Yunxiu shot and killed the assassins on high places, even those hiding in the trees were shot down by her.

Su Qing, Su Da and the other five formed a circle, surrounded Yun Xiu and Zhong Yi in the middle, and left the side hall together.

Yun Ji and Yun Jue were also outside the side hall. Yun Ji's arm was wrapped in cloth, indicating a knife wound.

Isn’t Yun Ji in the same group as Yu Xi? How could she be hurt?

Yun Xiu no longer had time to think about it and said to Yun Ji and the others, "Let's get out of here together."

Yun Jue said, "It's safest to be with the Queen Mother. Sister, Aji, let's go over there." Yun Jue pointed to the palace high up.

Yunxiu, Su Qing and the secret guards fought all the way and came to the foot of the stone steps. They saw that on the stone steps, the garrison was surrounded in three layers inside and outside, with Her Majesty the Queen and the two Yi brothers in the middle.

Members of the Xu and Li families, as well as other prominent families, were also rushing towards the stone steps. Wu Han, accompanied by a garrison, arrived late. He ascended the steps and addressed His Majesty, "Your Majesty, scouts have arrived with express horses reporting that Lingyun City is ablaze with flames. I'm afraid it has already fallen."

Yun Se frowned, thinking. The slave rebellion had been intended from the beginning to launch a surprise attack on Lingyun City. They had deliberately leaked the news in advance to confuse Gu Zezhi, and had taken most of the people away, leaving Lingyun City defenseless and falling for their deception.

Yun Se whispered, "Wu Han, take off your armor and give it to me."

Wu Han took off his armor, and Yun Se put on black armor. He shouted, "I will personally lead all the soldiers back to rescue Lingyun City!"

Yunxiu heard this and realized that His Majesty's return to rescue Lingyun City would be a true trap. She stood up and loudly objected, "Your Majesty! Staying at the palace gives us the advantage of high ground and allows us to rest and wait for the enemy to tire. Attacking at night is a bad idea. Please reconsider."

Yun Se heard this and said, "Xiu'er, come here."

Yunxiu walked up the steps and came before His Majesty.

In the quiet night, there was only the sound of a slap. Yunxiu covered her face in embarrassment. Her left cheek was burning with pain. She was stunned by the slap.

The Queen lowered her right hand and said sternly, "Listen to what you're saying. Are you saying it right? The families of all the ministers are in Lingyun City, and you're asking them to abandon their families? You're asking me to abandon the fifty thousand people of Lingyun City?"

Yun Se raised his sword and shouted, "All soldiers, listen to my orders! Disband the camp and rush back to Lingyun City at full speed to rescue the people of Lingyun City!"

This is a plan within a plan, a game within a game. No matter what choice people in the game make, they cannot escape.

Yun Ji raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Yunxiu covered her face and stepped aside. We had agreed to respect her fate, but she was being a jerk again, wasn't she? She had to rush in and ask for trouble. From now on, she could love whoever she wanted, and do whatever she wanted.
