The Maoshan River area outside Hangzhou City, which originally belonged to the Su family, has now returned to Wanjia.

Dingfeng Garden, which has unique scenery, is now covered with white snow. Many people gather in the garden, drinking wine and eating meat in big bowls, making the yard messy.

Wan Qin was wearing a gorgeous robe and greeted the sons of many nouveau riche-like rebel officials. He felt contempt in his heart, but the smile on his face was very friendly, just like the kings, princes, generals and ministers who had treated the capital.

After the city of Hangzhou was broken, Wan Qin led some servants to resist Fang La's army and performed a big show of dying and never surrendering. Like those pride literati. Fang Qifo spread the news truthfully, and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty did not blame Concubine Wan and restored his father's reward.

Wan Qin hid behind this and used the Wan family's workshop to cast armor and weapons for the rebel army, repaired the city walls and river embankments, and obtained the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

In order to restore the Wan family to its former style, Wan Qin worked hard every moment to establish a relationship with Fang La, and even tried every means to marry the daughter of a general as his wife.

Unfortunately, luck never seemed to be on the side of Wanjia. Fang La and others did not know the combat power of the Northwest Imperial Army, but he knew that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty withdrew the construction bureau, suspended the Huashigang, and reduced tax exemptions, which had eliminated most of the public grievances. The Zhao family had ruled for two hundred years, and the people still regarded the Zhao family as orthodox. When the Northwest Imperial Army arrived, as long as the number of defeats in a row, the situation of the rebel army would take a sharp turn.

But the Wan family struggled in the cracks, and the Wan family was the only one legitimate son. What else could they do besides going with the flow?

Thinking of this, Wan Qin left the noisy garden and returned to the bedroom in the other courtyard.

There was a constant noise in the distance, and Wan Qin closed the door, but never thought that he could hear:

"Mr. Wan, long time no see."

The sound is cold and full of magnetic properties, but at this moment it sounds like a ghost in the Nine Netherworlds.

Wan Qin's body suddenly stiffened, and he would never forget this sound for the rest of his life.

The hand placed on the door trembled slightly, cold sweat slid from her forehead, and the sound was choked in her throat, but she did not dare to call on the guards outside the yard.

After hesitating for a long time, Wan Qin recovered a little and turned around stiffly.

The house was lit with candles, and the young man in white dress, leaned leaning against the Grand Master's chair, holding a cup of tea.

On the embroidered bed next to him, the beautiful lady he had just married was unconscious, covered with a quilt, and still had a bit of horror on her cheeks.

"Your wife is awesome, she has a little bit of a temper."

A slightly joking voice sounded.

Wan Qin's face turned red, her body trembled slightly, she gritted her teeth for a long time, but she slowly walked to the desk and sat down:

"If you like it...it's all."

“Hahaha….”

Cao Hua's eyes were slightly cold, and he put down the teacup: "Listen to the news, Mr. Wan resisted desperately on the day of breaking the city, and eventually lost to being imprisoned by Fang La. This method of imprisonment is a bit unique."

Wan Qin's eyes twitched a few times: "...... My father handled the matter in the Su family back then, and I didn't stop it or instigate it. I had heard the adults expose my father, which eventually led to my father's depressed death... The Wan family fell apart. As the head of the family, I have to find a way to make a comeback."

Cao Hua nodded: "Hangzhou City is broken, is it your move?"

Wan Qin might have known that he could not escape death, so he gradually relaxed and said calmly:

"In the name of repairing and strengthening the city wall, the foundation of the water gate was hollowed out with wooden column sandbags to support it. In order to prevent the supervisor from discovering it, he stuffed silver to the prefect Zhao Ting and the inspectors in advance. The wood was removed that night, and the sand was washed away by the flood, and the city gate naturally collapsed... However, even without me, Hangzhou would be broken, which was just one or two days later. The Hangzhou defenders' reaction, the adults thought that they had come to see it. I did this and killed many people...."

Cao Hua tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers: "Actually, you are quite conscious of the times. Your sister is a little annoying. She blows the pillow wind around the emperor all day to cause trouble for me."

Wan Qin shook his head: "The Wan family was defeated by the Lord, and the imperial concubine lost her support. It was just a microphone from Grand Master Cai and Wang Xiang. I, Wan Qin, had no intention of dealing with the governor from the beginning to the end, and I couldn't afford to offend him, so I just wanted to protect myself. I accidentally provoked the Su family, and the family was destroyed now. It was my Wan family's fault. The governor wanted to kill him all, and I had nothing to say."

Cao Hua was silent for a moment and pointed to the bed: "I came in just now. I have asked her about the city breaking. She exchanged her life for your life. Now I will give you a chance to exchange your life for her. Will you exchange it?"

Wan Qin shook his head: "Sir, you will kill me, and you will kill me whatever you say. Why use this method to torture people? I agree to any request."

Cao Hua curled his lips: "When the imperial guards arrive, Hangzhou will be destroyed. With your performance in Hangzhou, the emperor may even commend you. I will keep the matter of bidding Fang La confidentially."

Wan Qin thought carefully: "What do you want me to do?"

Cao Hua looked at the head of the bed: "I haven't thought about it yet. Obedient living people are more useful than corpses. Master Wan should understand this principle."

The room was quiet for a moment, and Wan Qin finally nodded.

"Who are there outside? You have to take your head when you go back, otherwise the court will not know that I am here."

"The highest status is Lu Qi, the son of Master Lu. I... call him over?"

Cao Hua shook his head, got up and left the door.

Wan Qin shook his body a few times, and then he felt that his back was soaked with sweat, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.

Wan Qin walked to the bed, lifted the quilt and took a look. The woman on her hand was still holding a sword in her hand, her clothes were intact, but there was a bloody mouth on her neck.

‘She exchanges your life for yours’

Wan Qin took a deep breath, his hands trembled a few times, and he leaned into the woman's nose. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and fell to the ground...

--------

Cao Hua walked with his hands behind his back and walked past the flowers and plants he had admired with Su Xiangning. The scenery was still the same as before, but it was a pity that Jiangnan was no longer the misty and rainy Jiangnan. He looked up at the full moon in winter, and perhaps the silly girl in Bianjing was still lying on the window on the shop building, waiting for him to go back.

"Leopard, Leopard..."

"Drink! His grandma's..."

Noisy sounds came from the garden, destroying the beauty of the scenery and disrupting people's thoughts.

Cao Hua sighed and slowly walked into the yard full of wine jars and dice tables. Many senior officials from Fang Lajun gathered here, wearing literati robes and swords on his waist and back, which looked inconsistent.

After sweeping around casually, Cao Hua raised his hand and patted the young man next to him who was drinking with a jar:

"Brother, borrow a knife."

"Who the hell are you?"

The young man looked full of resentment. He turned around and saw the unrecognizable face, and raised his hand and punched him.

Cao Hua grabbed his fist, pulled out the knife from his waist and wiped it across his neck, and shouted:

"Who is Lu Qi?"

A man in the noisy yard turned around and was stunned when he saw his companion lying on the ground.

Then a cold light flashed.
