The gate of Kaihuang Palace was closed tightly, and there was a mountain of corpses piled up in front of the gate. There were the Iron Eagle Battalion in golden armor, the Iron Forest Army in black armor, and the Raksha Army in red and silver armor. Blood flowed like a stream. It filled the ground, making the aftermath of the fierce battle in the open square in front of Kaihuang Palace even more tragic.
With the sound of His Majesty's arrival, the rest of the crowd dispersed to both sides, leaving a passage in the middle.
The woman in the bright fiery red dress led the way through the crowd, and when she arrived at the gate of the Imperial Palace, she looked at the last remaining Liao people and said, "I am Ling Qingyu, and I asked Xiao Sui to open the gate."
Gu Zhao stood up and looked at the woman in front of him with confusion in his eyes. Is this the head of the house? His face has not changed, but his eyes no longer have the lively and cheerful vitality.
The door opened with a creak, Zhao Wei took a step back, and let Ye Shiyi and Ye Po follow her into the door. The woman the general loves so much that she would die for her is indeed a woman who has the courage to enter the imperial palace .
The bright sunlight slanted in from outside the hall, and when it was almost dusk, the sunlight became brighter and more brilliant, making the inside of the hall brighter.
Warriors dressed in Tiangangtang costumes stood on both sides of the hall. Xiao Sui leaned on the dragon chair on the high platform. The winding blood flowed down from the dragon chair, dyeing the white marble steps red.
The sound of the sword being unsheathed was extremely ear-piercing in the silent hall, and with the sound of rattling, Ling Qingyu walked towards Xiao Sui step by step, and said, "You asked to see me, and here I am."
Even with the addition of the Luocha army, the street fighting in the imperial city was still extremely difficult. In the final battle, the Khitan people held the courage to perish together. Thousands of people, at this time, Xiao Sui sent a letter, if Ling Qingyu came in person, he would let the tribe put down their weapons and surrender.
"You don't usually like to wear red clothes." Xiao Sui supported his head, blood was still oozing from the bandage on the wound, but his voice was as calm as before.
"This is my wedding dress!" Ling Qingyu took another step forward, looked directly at Xiao Sui in the shadow of swords and swords beside him, and said, "Xiao Sui, enough people have died, do you want your nation to disappear in this place? In history?"
Zhao Yinfeng's body was still left in that yurt, with ice jade in his mouth, and a satisfied and happy smile.
Why must there be sacrifices to move forward? Why do you have to die to solve the situation, why do you have to destroy the country to achieve reunification
She only brought two people in, but blocked all the attacks of those masters of Tiangang Hall from her left and right, and kept them half a meter away from her. In the past year, Tiangang Hall has been attacked by a master constantly, and even an elder They were all killed by him. If it wasn't for the elder who desperately beat the other party to serious injuries, I'm afraid there would be fewer people left in the Tiangang Hall here. That person is also yours, right
Are you not afraid of death? Head of the family, the men around you are indeed like this, but unfortunately, I, Xiao Sui, and a Khitan, are not afraid of death. "Xiao Sui! You are a soldier. It is natural for a soldier to die for the country, but what about the women and children in the city? What about your children? Do you want them to be destroyed along with you? The country can be destroyed, but the nation cannot be destroyed. If you Surrender, I promise you in the name of the emperor of the Hua Dynasty, I will never kill women and children, as long as I put down my weapons, I will definitely not kill prisoners!" Ling Qingyu said loudly, turning a blind eye to the battle around him.
"You want my Daliao Kingdom to surrender? It will be merged into your territory from then on?" Xiao Sui laughed silently, and said, "Master, you used to say that the world is fought for by the most stupid people, so what about you now? "
There was a bit of bitterness in the corner of his mouth, suppressing the soreness in his heart and the smell of blood that surged up at that moment, Ling Qingyu raised his head and said, "Yes, I still think so, but, too much blood has been shed on this road, The sacrifice of so many people, even if it is the most stupid thing, I must do it to the end, to restore peace to the world, to let the people live and work in peace, to let the land under the jurisdiction of my Hua Dynasty, regardless of nationality, regardless of birth , everyone can enjoy peace, dignity and freedom, this is my promise to the dead, it is also my promise to the people of the world, and it is also my promise to myself."
Is this the difference? As the head of the family, you did not come to this point for yourself, not for your own ambition.
"Zhao Yinfeng, is he dead?" Xiao Sui asked indifferently, and then continued: "Whether it's Yang Zhao or He Li, even I misread Zhao Yinfeng, and I didn't deserve to lose." The loss lies in the people's hearts, and the loss lies in misreading your heart and misreading their hearts. I thought that Zhao Yinfeng was encouraged by those people and provoked by the people I sent. Men are always ambitious. To be the master of the world under a woman and myself is to choose the world, but Zhao Yinfeng chose you.
"Xiao Sui!" Stopping in his tracks, Ling Qingyu frowned slightly, looked at him with uncontrollable hatred and said, "If you hadn't planned to kill Yang Zhao back then, it wouldn't be like this today. With so many lives, how can you end it with just one word? If you don’t surrender, then we don’t need to talk nonsense!”
Half of the people in the Tiangang Hall inside the hall had fallen, and the Raksha Army and the Tie Lin Army who saw the situation outside the hall rushed forward, Xiao Sui glanced slightly, and said in a low voice: "Leave the green hills here." The old man stared blankly, glanced at him silently, and then quietly disappeared.
"Stop!" The voice was not loud, but Xiao Sui's cessation of drinking caused all the Liao people in the hall to retreat.
Standing up with the big knife beside him, his hand lightly stroked the blade that had been polished by him, Xiao Sui looked at Ling Qingyu with a smile in his eyes.
"Master, if you didn't bring us out back then, maybe this life would be a different way of living." After a pause, Xiao Sui raised his eyes to the sky outside Kaihuang Palace. When he lowered his eyes, when he opened them again, his eyes were clear and there was no trace of nostalgia. He smiled and said, "But I, Xiao Sui, don't regret it. As the last emperor of the Liao Kingdom, I don't regret it. Listen, tell them to let go Weapons, I, the Khitan, are the children of the grassland, we should not be trapped in this wall of loess, the vast grassland is our home, go back, go back to the place where our ancestors lived."
With the blade attached to his neck, he slashed violently, and blood spurted out. Xiao Sui's body leaned on the big knife, and when the remaining Liao people knelt on the ground, they still stood upright.
In April, Zhao Yinfeng and Xiao Sui fought at the head of the imperial city of Linhuang Mansion. After Zhao Yinfeng seriously injured Xiao Sui, he was attacked by the Liao people and succeeded in a surprise attack. He was seriously injured and died. Xiao Sui killed himself in Kaihuang Palace.
The Liao Kingdom perished.
