Chapter 134: The Country Is Destroyed
"Report--"
A high-pitched and panicked voice came from afar, as if announcing some ominous ending on this night, "Your Majesty! It's bad, it's bad, the imperial city has been breached!"
The feet of all the civil and military officials in the court went weak, their faces turned pale, and they looked desperate.
The iron hooves roared and screamed.
The palace gate was trampled, countless elite soldiers and cavalry rushed into the palace gate, and torches lit up half the sky.
The eunuchs and palace maids fled in panic, casting a solemn shadow on the usually quiet and luxurious palace.
Civil and military officials wanted to leave but couldn't, and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot: "Why did the city gate fall so quickly?"
"Didn't Concubine Ying go to guard the city gate?"
"Your Majesty!" A blood-stained imperial guard stepped into the palace gate, knelt on one knee, and looked haggard and sad. "Concubine Ying ordered people to open the city gate and go out of the city to fight the enemy directly, but...but we are not opponents...the city is broken..."
"What?" The ministers' faces suddenly changed, "How could Concubine Ying open the city gate? There are so many enemy troops, how can we be opponents?"
"What on earth is Concubine Ying going to do?!"
Yan Yunshuo sat on the dragon throne, as if he didn't hear this sentence, just staring at the pile of memorials on the imperial desk and the jade seal that the eunuch had just brought over. His face was extremely calm, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking at this time.
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
"Your Majesty!" The old prime minister knelt down and begged, "If you don't leave now, it will be too late!"
"Your Majesty!" The other officials knelt down one by one and begged in unison, "Please, Your Majesty, leave as soon as possible!"
Outside suddenly came a cry of fear and anxiety: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"Father! Father!"
Yan Yunshuo came back to his senses, listened to the cries of concubines and children outside, closed his eyes gently, but stared at the civil and military officials kneeling in front of him woodenly, his voice cold and ruthless: "Leave? Where to go? Leave the city and live a life of wandering and hiding from place to place from now on?"
The old prime minister said: "Your Majesty, save the green mountains and stay here , not afraid of running out of firewood——"
"I am the emperor." Yan Yunshuo interrupted him coldly, "If Nan Zhao dies, what's the point of me living? If you are afraid of death, you can go back and pack your things now, take your wife and children and run away together. If you can escape, it's your ability. If you can't escape, you have to accept your fate. I will not leave here. "
"Your Majesty!"
The ministers knelt on the ground stiffly, wanting to escape, but when they heard the screams of fighting outside, they knew that they had missed the best time to escape.
If they escaped at this time, the most likely possibility was that they would be hacked to death by someone. Staying here to accompany the emperor might even leave a reputation of being loyal and courageous.
The sound of fighting was getting closer and closer, and everyone's face was as pale as snow.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" A concubine stumbled in, and just as one foot stepped into the threshold, she suddenly screamed, "Ah!"
Blood spurted out, and her body fell limply.
Yan Yunshuo's face turned pale, and he finally couldn't help but stand up, clenching his hands tightly: "I will fight them to the death today! Those who are not afraid of death, rush out with me!"
Turning around and drawing the long sword from the waist of his personal guard, Yan Yunshuo gritted his teeth and rushed out of the hall, but just as he walked down the stone steps, a group of elite soldiers rushed in.
"Where is the emperor going?" Along with the cold voice, a woman in military uniform stepped into the hall, her cold and ruthless eyes looked directly at Yan Yunshuo, and the cold and ruthless murderous aura in her eyes made people tremble.
Elite soldiers swarmed in and quickly controlled the officials present.
Yan Yunshuo's eyes fell on the woman's face.
She has a beautiful face and a slender figure. She looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, and still looks like an unmarried girl. However, she is calm when she raises her hands and feet, and exudes a cold and daunting aura around her body-a death aura that is completely inconsistent with her age.
Yan Yunshuo's pupils shrank suddenly, and he felt a chill for no reason.
