1350 Dead
The gate of Huining Mansion slowly opened in the wind and snow. The soldiers who were originally waiting for the battle on the city tower also began to put away their weapons and quickly retreated from the city wall.
After the city gate opened, a group of eunuchs and palace maids braved the heavy snow and came out one after another. In a short while, a ceremonial war of welcoming the royal family came out at the city gate. Then some civil and military officials walked out slowly from the city gate on both sides. In the central passage left behind, the Jin royal family walked out slowly side by side. After walking to the front of the welcoming royal family's ceremonial war, looking at the endless wind and snow and the siege army in the snow, the royal family took the lead in kneeling in the thick snow. Together with other civil and military officials, eunuchs and palace maids, they shouted loudly to the black siege army in the distance: "Welcome the Queen to return to the palace..."
The siege army in the distance remained towering in the wind and snow, and was still a solemn momentum, which also made the royal ceremonial guards at the gate of Huining Mansion look extremely down and desolate against the backdrop of the sad faces of civil and military officials and royal relatives of the royal family.
A dozen long and desolate sounds came from the civil and military officials at the Huining Mansion Gate. The shouts of royal relatives and relatives passed through the wind and snow in front of them, and passed countless siege troops. Finally, they reached the gate of the central army's tent. At this time, Li Shi'er, who was standing there, burst into tears and her whole body was trembling involuntarily. She didn't know how long she had been waiting at this moment, but when this moment came, she seemed to feel that her miserable escape seemed to have happened yesterday.
Ye Qing frowned beside him, and he could naturally hear clearly the calls of greeting Li Shi'er.
Naturally, he also realized that although Wanyan Congyi had judged the situation of Huining Mansion correctly, neither Wanyan Congyi nor himself had expected that the target of Huining Mansion would be Li Shi'er.
"I ordered Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can and Yelu Yixue to enter the city immediately and take over the defenders in the city. Mo Xiaobao immediately went to the palace to find Wanyan Xun's whereabouts, and to see people alive and corpses dead. Also, I ordered Wanyan Chen to ask Shi Lie Baishan to take care of the royal family in Huining Prefecture City, especially Wanyan Congyi and Wanyan Congxian's family." Ye Qing stood beside Li Shi'er and ordered quietly.
After several of the commander's horses quickly disappeared in the wind and snow, the army led by Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can and Yelu Yixue, who were still on standby at various siege troops, knelt at the gate of Huining Prefecture for almost half an hour before they began to enter Huining Prefecture first.
As Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can and Yelu Yixue's army entered Huining Mansion, the army of Wanyan Chen, Qishi Lie Baishan and Qishi Lie's god slaves were still standing outside the city. Even Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can and Yelu Yixue's army had already entered Huining Mansion under their noses, but at this moment, whether it was Qishi Lie's god slaves, Wanyan Chen, or Qishi Lie Baishan, who were requesting to be the vanguard of the siege, did not show even a trace of anxiety and dissatisfaction at this critical moment.
Before receiving Ye Qing's order, they continued to lead their army, standing quietly in the wind and snow, and silently looking at the scene in front of Huining Mansion Gate.
Ye Qing, his personal guards and some soldiers who broke the camp began to slowly escort Li Shi'er towards the gate of Huining Mansion. As they got closer and closer to the gate of Huining Mansion, at this time, the civil and military officials of Huining Mansion who had been kneeling at the gate of the city for nearly half an hour were waiting for Li Shi'er's arrival.
As the distance got closer and closer, as Li Shi'er's eyes passed through the wind and snow in front of him, he could vaguely see the scene in front of Huining Mansion's gate, whether it was the civil and military officials kneeling in the snow, the royal family, or even the eunuchs and palace maids who had been standing still, almost everyone became snowmen.
But even so, these Jin officials who left the city to receive surrender and still set up royal ceremonial guards to welcome Li Shi'er still allowed the snowflakes to fall slowly on their bodies, and did not even reach out to brush away the thick snowflakes on their bodies.
Li Shi'er's brows began to frown because she began to see that in this long half hour, whether it was the officials who went out of the city to surrender, the royal family, or the palace maids who didn't know whether they were familiar or unfamiliar, some of the eunuchs had already begun to shake. Just as she was about to walk up to her, accompanied by Ye Qing, many people finally couldn't hold on in the snow, began to shake their upper bodies, and then plunged into the thick snow on the ground, and then stopped moving.
Li Shi'er's eyes couldn't help but look at Ye Qing. At this time, she felt mixed feelings and mixed feelings. For a moment, even Li Shi'er herself didn't know what kind of mood she was now. However, Li Shi'er knew that when she started running from Huining Mansion, there seemed to be no big difference between her mood and her current state of mind. If there was a difference, it would be... When she started to escape helplessly, she was already helpless. Now, although she was still a little confused and confused, there was an extra man around her who could rely on at any time.
"Turn back to the city immediately if these frozen people are fainted." Ye Qing turned his head and said to Jia She not far behind him.
Following Ye Qing's order, Jia She immediately led the soldiers from the breaking camp to the Jin officials who were frozen and fainted. The two of them carried them into the city.
Wanyan Cong and Wanyan Jie were already so cold that they lost consciousness, but the hint of soberness in their minds made them both clearly realize that at this critical moment, no matter how difficult it is, they must hold on until they see the queen with their own eyes, or even welcome the palace into the palace in person.
After all, only in this way may Queen Li Shier be willing to blame the past for her loyalty and pitiful things, or she may be lenient in her past.
"Where is Wanyan Xun?" Wanyan Cong, the female voice they were familiar with did not appear above Wanyan Jie's head. Instead, a low voice with infinite majesty sounded.
Without looking up, Wanyan Cong and Wanyan Jie knew who the person who spoke was. After squirming for a long time, Wanyan Cong made a hoarse voice and said, "Go back to Yan King, Wanyan Xun... has committed suicide due to guilt."
"Where is the body now?" Ye Qing continued to ask.
"Just in the palace, I didn't know what to do for a while, so I had to go out of the city first to welcome the queen and ask the queen to leave." Wanyan Cong said while kneeling in the snow.
At this time, Li Shi'er, after hearing that Wanyan Xun had committed suicide, couldn't help but look up at the snowflakes flying in the sky. The gray sky could not see anything, but for some reason, Li Shi'er always felt that in the gray sky, there was a pair of gentle eyes looking at him with a smile and comfort.
Tears slid down the corners of their eyes again, and after they blended with the cold snowflakes, a cool tear mark formed on their cheeks. The face of Wanyan Jing, who should have appeared in the gray sky, never appeared.
The more and more mist in the phoenix eyes made Li Shi'er's gaze looking up at the gray sky become blurry, and she wants to see Wanyan Jing's face. But for some reason, at this moment, even Wanyan Jing's face, which was originally very clear in her mind, began to become blurred in her heart.
"Go into the palace." Mr. Li sobbed, then lowered his head and whispered.
Ye Qing nodded silently, and then, after Wanyan Cong and Wanyan Jie got up and fell down. As soon as he stood up, he fell down and repeated several times, he was led by countless officials, royal families, the remaining eunuchs and palace maids, entered Huining Mansion in a mighty way, and walked slowly towards the palace along the snow-covered and empty streets.
Everything she saw along the way was so familiar. Even when she turned the corner, Li Shi'er could clearly recall the scene when she and Wanyan Jing secretly ran out of the palace to wander around, but for some reason, Wanyan Jing's face still seemed blurred in her mind, no longer as clear as before.
As the snow palace appeared in front of her almost indistinguishable from the ones that Li Shi'er imagined, there was an instant that another shout of welcoming the queen back to the palace sounded in the eunuchs, palace maids and other officials on both sides. Li Shi'er, who had been sitting on horseback, entered the city with inexplicable figure, seemed a little unbelievable.
"Wanyan Xun's body has been found, and no one has touched it." Ye Qing said to Li Shier.
Li Shi'er nodded silently, and walked from the city gate to the palace gate with his legs to Wanyan Cong, Wanyan Jie and the other two followed Li Shi'er along the way, leading the way for Li Shi'er, one left and one right.
The general structure and appearance of the palace were almost unchanged, and in some palaces, it was no longer as familiar to Li Shier. Especially after entering the harem, the furnishings in each hall were completely unfamiliar to her. There was almost no place in the harem she imagined and the harem she was in back then, which allowed her to easily recall the various things of the past.
Li Shi'er handed over all the matter to Ye Qing, and she patrolled every territory that originally belonged to her, accompanied by eunuchs and palace maids who had been with her for many years, and under the escort of the personal guards sent by Ye Qing.
Wanyan Congyi and others also followed Ye Qing and Li Shier to the palace. Even though their thoughts were completely flying to their family members who were always concerned about in Huining Mansion, after the Huining Mansion was occupied by the Song people, after the Great Jin Dynasty completely disappeared on this day, even if they were in the familiar Huining Mansion, they felt that this was no longer the capital of the Great Jin Kingdom, but an ordinary city of the Song Dynasty. At the same time, it means that no matter what they do, they must obey the Song people.
Under the guidance of Wanyan Cong and Wanyan Jie, they came to the pavilion where Wanyan Xun's body was still lying. At this time, Li Shi'er happened to pass by here while patrolling his territory.
Looking at Fengxue in pairs through the garden in the middle, Li Shi'er's eyes vaguely saw the figure of the enemy who made her want to kill herself at all times. She was so pitiful and hateful that she was lying at everyone's feet without moving.
The original bright red strand at the corner of the mouth had already turned into a disgusting dark brown color. The eyes were open and empty. The stiff hands and feet were even though the eunuch had broken several times in a row, even though it was sweating on his forehead, Wanyan Xun, who had been dead for a long time, still stubbornly maintained a hateful and pitiful posture, still looking up at the sky, dying with his eyes closed.
