Accidentally dressed as an empress

Chapter 72 Return to the city

After leading the troops to clear the battlefield, Wu Han found horses in the forest and found a complete carriage. Yun Se got on the carriage and drove towards Lingyun City.

Yi Lan's body was also placed in the carriage.

Yi Yuan sat beside Yun Se, helped Yun Se pull out the arrow from her thigh, and sprinkled some medicine powder on her. Yun Se was sweating coldly, and Yi Yuan gave her a simple bandage.

Yun Se hugged Yi Yuan and asked, "Are you my brother?"

"Well, Xiaolan is my younger brother. I am the eldest son in the family. I have three younger brothers and one younger sister. I went to the horse farm to feed the horses so that I could support my family. Xiaolan stayed at home to take care of his younger brothers and sisters."

"Where's your mother? How could she let you work?"

"My mother was killed in an accident while doing corvée labor. A brick wall collapsed on her. An elder brother is like a father, and this is what I should do."

"That woman, isn't she your mother?"

Yi Yuan shook his head, "She is our aunt."

"Where is your father?"

"The day my mother died, he took all the money in the house and ran off with another woman."

Yi Yuan buried his head in Yun Se's arms and said, "Your Majesty, can I ask for mercy for my younger brothers and sisters? Please allow them to leave my aunt's house. I don't want them to be sold to others by my aunt like Xiao Lan and I."

"I will find a good family to adopt your brothers and sisters."

Meanwhile, Su Qing found an ownerless horse and a carriage. Yun Jue helped the bloodied Yun Ji over and they got in the carriage together.

Yun Ji fought bravely and suffered many injuries.

Yunxiu looked at Yunji's miserable condition and thought that cooperating with the enemy was tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.

Yun Ji had caused such a scene, leaving himself battered and bruised. The garrison and the slave army suffered heavy casualties, their strength was greatly weakened, and Lingyun City was devastated.

This open space is where the heroic souls of countless garrison soldiers are buried.

They came from peasant families and shed blood and sacrificed their lives to protect the royal family and the noble families.

Is there really a distinction between the value of human life and the worth of others? Are some people's lives truly worthless?

A few names in history, countless barren hills in the Northern Mang Mountains. A lifetime of heroes ends in loneliness. Who could have foreseen the tragedies within the palace? Who could have shared the secrets of the palace? The powerful fight like jackals, while the common people toil like horses and oxen. The cycle of establishment and dissolution repeats itself through the ages, while the rivers flow silently eastward.

One general's success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. The outcome of war is always tragic.

There were no righteous wars in the Spring and Autumn Period. How could there be any noble reasons for war?

Being swept up by the tide of the times, people in it can only go with the flow.

If it weren't for Yi who saved His Majesty from death, they would probably have all died here.

If His Majesty died from the crossbow, Yun Ji would have swung his sword at him next. Thinking of this, Yun Xiu wanted to throw this man off the carriage.

Yunxiu stared at Yun Ji sinisterly, and only when Yunjue stood in front of Yun Ji did she look away.

She then remembered to ask the system, [Is Li Xian still alive?]

【She's fine, not too badly hurt.】

Zhong Yi took out a clean handkerchief and wiped the blood off Yunxiu's face. Yunxiu held his hand and wiped his face with her sleeve. Both she and Zhong Yi were covered in the smell of blood.

Zhong Yi asked, "Your Highness, are you tired? Take a rest."

Yunxiu shook her head. She had been up all night and was now in high spirits.

She had many plans in mind, and she also realized that in this world, just having a system doesn't guarantee everything will be fine.

Even with the system, there is still very little she can do. She is restricted everywhere. She cannot change the plot with just one word. What is going to happen will still happen.

In order to protect herself and those around her, she must have an army. If Su Qing refused to join the garrison, then she could go to Dongling and train under General Zhong Rong.

Yunxiu has to make arrangements.

.............................................

Last night on the city wall, the defending general persuaded Gu Zezhi. After all, he only brought a hundred people, which was not enough to defeat the enemies.

He had no choice but to go to the palace and break the siege of the palace wall, but he was injured.

After the garrison cleared Lingyun City, Lin Nan led his troops to Beiyuan for support. Gu Zezhi wanted to go with him, but Lin Hong persuaded him to stay and investigate Cui Ti and her background.

"Is there something wrong with Cui Ti?" Gu Zezhi asked.

Lin Hong nodded slightly.

Gu Zezhi was a little surprised. It turned out that the emperor's husband Lin Hong was also on the side of His Majesty?

Seeing Gu Zezhi's puzzled expression, Lin Hong replied, "The Gu family motto is also loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, isn't it? I am only doing this for His Majesty and the Yun Kingdom."

Your Majesty is an illustrious ruler. Why would he risk going against the will of the world for such an unjustifiable reason?

Although he and Your Majesty have never had the relationship of husband and wife, he has lived to such an old age that he naturally understands that interests are more important than feelings.

Cui Ti is really not worth consulting with. Once she gained power, she became arrogant, deceiving her superiors and subordinates, and making the palace a mess.

Cui Ti delusionally thought that he was acting on his emotions. If Your Majesty killed Su Yan, would he hate Your Majesty?

No, there was nothing to hate. From the first night he entered the palace, His Majesty had told him that she simply needed a child of Lin blood, a man of the Lin family as her husband. The two of them treated each other with respect and did not interfere with each other.

He originally thought that the day-to-day palace life would come to an end, but then Su Yan appeared.

He and Su Yan relived their love affair. Even if the truth came to light, His Majesty could not touch the Lin family, nor could she touch him.

The Lin family was stationed at Beiling and Xiling, while the Zhong family was stationed at Dongling and Nanling. On the surface, the Lin and Zhong families shared military power and competed with each other.

In fact, the Zhong family has already declined, and the new generation is full of playboys who are hopeless and hopeless.

Families of hereditary nobility seldom observe propriety. Children of aristocratic families are most prone to extravagance and arrogance. The grace of a gentleman will be cut off after five generations.

The Lin family and the Gu family have been able to prosper for a long time because they uphold good family traditions.

Loyalty to Your Majesty is the fundamental interest of the aristocratic families. Once the precedent of regicide and self-proclaimed succession is set, disasters will continue and civil strife will never cease.

You kill me, I kill you, and in the end, the white earth is so clean.
