h2>The two brothers with trembling legs stepped into the broken city gate of Jiujiang City, and what caught their eyes were the corpses pillowing along the street. The cruelty of the war had turned these villagers from humans into beasts, and their atrocities were unrestrained. Their atrocities were simply outrageous.

The bodies of men were incomplete, some were broken into their heads, some were cut off to look at their heads, and some even had their limbs cut off and let them bleed and died.

Sometimes one or two corpses of women and children appeared. Most of the women's clothes were broken, and many of them were still fighting. Some houses were burning with raging fire, and the scent of flesh was burned in the rolling smoke.

"What have we done? Marquis... Will Marquis take us to justice!" Canglan looked at Zheng Bin guiltily, and Zheng Bin was also pale at this time. He did not answer Canglan's words, but just looked at the miserable scene on the street helplessly, muttering words in his mouth, but no one could understand what he was saying.

The fat Liu Ji was so scared that his face turned pale. The heart-wrenching howls and the sharp and harsh screams of the woman made Liu Ji restless. The palace concubines and palace maids in the palace were trembling with fear. They could not imagine what would happen if the city was broken.

"Prince, I don't want to die! Prince." Liu Ji's favorite concubine grabbed Liu Ji's sleeve, and the corpses of two favorite concubines were already lying on the ground.

"My beloved concubine, I don't want you to die either. But those mobs rushed in, you... I don't want you to be ruined by them! Don't worry, it will be fine soon." As soon as the words were finished, the sword had already stabbed into the towering chest.

Liu Ji's fat face was crying and reached out to grab a pregnant palace servant. "Prince, please don't! I still have your child in my stomach!" The cry of the palace servant made Liu Ji's hand stagnate slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he grabbed him without hesitation.

The rosy face turned pale, and the well-maintained body seemed to have grown older in a teenager. The white hair was floating under the crown, and the flying silver hair was like raindrops in the thick fog. The sword dripping with blood was smearing hard between the necks of the palace servants, as if an old farmer in the country was killing chickens.

The hot blood gushed out, soaking a large area on Liu Ji's robe. Liu Ji felt a sudden heat on his face, and reached out to touch the bright red blood on his hand. The turbid old tears poured down in an instant. Not only did he end the life of the palace servant, but the unborn child, but the palace people kneeling around seemed to see a devil who devoured people.

They screamed and fled everywhere in panic. The guards around them pulled out their swords, and the screams of women and screams came one after another. In just a short time, the hall became quiet. The screams, screams and the moans of women all disappeared.

Liu Ji walked in the quiet hall, and every step he took could reach half-dry blood. The slippery and sticky blood was stained with the soles of his shoes, and he made a "hiss" and "hiss" sound when he walked. Liu Ji looked at the corpses everywhere in the hall and laughed loudly. The laughter was full of desolation, and tears were flying freely while laughing.

The guards lowered their heads, and the blood on the sword in their hands had solidified into black. They were all Liu Ji's loyalty. Although Liu Ji was mean and polite, he had done some good things, and at this moment, there were still some people following him.

"Let me find some firewood, I am a dragon seed in the imperial family. I enjoyed all the wealth and honor of the world before I died, and I would not be humiliated in front of others after I died. You... I will burn me with fire, which can be regarded as the last time I will do my job for me."

Liu Ji's tone was desolate and sad, like a dying old cow. Tears could flow down silently.

"Prince! The palace city has not been destroyed now, so the prince really cannot do something unnecessary! The general's reinforcements were completely destroyed, but the King of Huainan should be about to come. As long as we persist for a few more days, are we still afraid that there will be no way out? Prince! We have survived the siege of the city for more than a month, so why can't we wait for a few more days?"

The head guard knelt in a pool of blood without caring about the strong smell of blood. He grabbed Liu Ji's hand tightly with his sword, and refused to part.

"The situation is over, the situation is over! If Liu An wanted to support him, the troops would have arrived long ago. Now the thieves have been besieging the city for more than a month, and he can climb from Huainan even if he crawled. What kind of clan and clan are the same, and what blood compatible blood is thicker than water.

Bastard! They are all lying. The couple are the same forest birds, and they fly away when the disaster strikes. The person who sleeps on the same bed is like this, let alone brothers of the same clan who will last a few years before they meet. Rely on him, hum!"

Liu Ji also lived to know the destiny of heaven. How could he not know the warmth and warmth of human feelings in the world? Don’t look at these Liu clans, they are polite when they see them in Chang'an during the festival. They are all comparative in their hearts. Whoever lives a luxurious life will say a few strange words harshly. Whoever lives a poor life will be condescending and give some worthless comfort. However, if you open your mouth to borrow money from them, you will definitely not have a word.

People's hearts are so cold that they are so cold that they are the most ruthless. Liu Ji has been the prince for his whole life, so why don't he know that the princes are thinking about it? I'm afraid that some people still hope that when his lineage is destroyed and the land is enfeoffed, the rich land of Jiujiang, may be the only one who can be called the kingly path.

Liu An's 50,000 army set off from Huainan last month, and now he has been traveling for more than a month. He should have arrived no matter what, but now he can't even see the shadow of a soldier. Liu Fa, the King of Changsha, saw that the Wu family had no descendants and robbed the King of Changsha of the Wu family. His 30,000 soldiers were close at hand, and it was a bit exaggerated to say that it was coming every day, but it was always available in three or five days.

Even the Liu family princes were like this, and the prefects and county magistrates appointed by the court were even more vigilant to protect themselves. Only one Dou Yuan came to reinforce him, and was burned by Canglan overnight and destroyed the entire army. Now, it is better to rely on Liu An's army to expect heavenly soldiers and generals to fall from the sky and help him defend the palace city.

"There will be reinforcements, there will be no more. The lineage of the King of Jiujiang has been passed down to Gu, even if it is a family. The only thing Gu regrets is that he did not treat you kindly before. Now Gu is ruined, and he can't give you more wealth. Many of you, grandpa and father, have served as guards for Gu. Thank you for several generations, just asking for a wife and a child. Gu can't give you anything. In this life, Gu owe you one by one. If there is a next life, Gu will repay you one by one."

Liu Ji looked at his subordinates who were kneeling all over the ground and deeply regretted his former meanness and mercy. These people could still follow him at this time, and all of them were loyal and righteous people. He had been a slave to the wealth for his whole life, and what's the use of being piled up in the warehouse now? If I had known today, it would have been better to leave earlier and let these guards live a better life.

"Prince, we have received the grace of the prince for generations. It is appropriate to repay the prince. Please wait for the subordinates to persuade the prince to settle for a few days. If the palace city is about to be destroyed, it will not be too late to commit suicide." The guards knelt on the ground and begged hard, and the guards next to them were also urging in a mixed manner.

Seeing the guards unanimously admonished, Liu Ji let go of his hand helplessly. The sword covered in blood fell to the ground with a clang. "Okay, since you advised me hard, I will live for a few days. If the sky does not destroy me, reinforcements will arrive in the court. The king of Gu pointed to the sky and sweared that if there was only a glimmer of life, I will never forget you in the future."

The guards wiped away their tears, leaving behind the two of them on duty with the rest of the guards to retreat.

"Second, the third brother has listened to it. Those who want to survive should pay attention to the prince. Our lives are all about this prince. If anyone doesn't watch carefully, don't blame the ruthless brothers."

"Brother, this prince has become like this. What can we protect him? How can his life and death be related to our brother's life and death?" The chief guard's younger brother asked in confusion.

"Pig brain, let's guard it for a few days. Although this palace city is not as tall as the city wall, it is relatively small in scope. It is estimated that it can guard it for a few days. If no reinforcements arrive in three days, we will tie this old man up and go to the Yun family to change his life. Maybe we can get some rewards."

"Brother is smart, the third brother cannot penetrate the fourth person's words. Otherwise, the eldest brother's life will be difficult to protect. If the prince is saved, our family will lose its wealth."

"I know, I know." The third brother quickly pointed his head and responded to a kowtow worm.

Liu Ji never expected that the chief guard, who spoke so sincerely, had such a plan.

The blood-like setting sun slowly fell from the horizon, and the ink-like darkness enveloped the earth. The crescent moon hung in the sky and only showed a little, as if it did not want to hear the wailing sounds of the poor people in Jiujiang.

As night fell, the chaos in Jiujiang City reached. Robbery and killing were everywhere, and the screams of men and women could be heard in almost every street and alley. Jiujiang City was completely reduced to hell, and Canglan and Zheng Bin were powerless to do anything about it. Those guys who were robbed red have begun to get angry due to uneven distribution of spoils.

Blood and killing filled Jiujiang City, and the fire in the city had already spread. Canglan and Zheng Bin could only take their direct subordinates to hold the city gate tightly, leaving a glimmer of life for those who fled.

When the villagers saw that the Yun family did not participate in the robbery, they did not dare to provoke the Yun family. The people of Jiujiang were like mice, hiding in dark corners. They seized a gap and rushed out of the streets and ran out of the city gate frantically.

Canglan sighed. Although he could gather these mobs, it was too difficult to restrain them. At this time, he understood why Yun Xiao said that it would only bring disaster if he led troops for the general. It was not his own, or someone else's.

"Don't attack the palace, just surround it. Judging from the current situation, it may not be a good thing to capture the palace. After this battle, I should think of the marquis to apologize. I ask the marquis to apology. I ask the marquis to appoint other talents to manage Jiangnan." r1152
