Chapter 58 Almost died

"Where are they? Why can't I see them?" Father Xie asked anxiously.

The government officer next to him looked hesitant and said: "The county guard... Judging from the scene outside, my subordinates speculated that they should still be hiding in the refugee room and have not come out."

"What?!" Xie Yun's thin face widened his eyes in fear. Then he looked down at the refugee house that had been smashed into ruins by trebuchets. Suddenly, it felt like the sky was falling. His vision went dark and he almost became unstable.

Xie Yun shed tears on his face and cried: "These two silly kids, no matter how long you delay, this battle is destined to be lost!"

As he spoke, his expression changed, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and said resolutely: "The order is given, surrender! Now that things have come to a point, I can only risk my life and fortune and take a gamble."

…

…

When Sheriff Xie Yunxie led the local squires and heroes, holding the surrender letter in both hands, went out of the city gate, knelt down, and raised it high above his head, he looked at the refugee camp that had been smashed and there was no good house, and his heart ached.

Damn it, I no longer have much hope that the two children will survive.

Xie Yun, who had fled the Wei Kingdom of the Northern Dynasty all the way many years ago in order to escape the danger of annihilation, now feels a sense of fate at the mercy of God.

Shen Liuzhen, who had high hopes that he could one day revive the Xie family, is gone, and so is his only daughter. Now she has fallen into the hands of the Northern Dynasty Wei who destroyed the Xie family...

Is it really because their surnamed Xie had so much glory and exhausted all their luck that God now wants to wipe out the entire Xie family without leaving any hope of recovery?

Xie Yun lowered his head and looked at the boots of the man who came to pick up the letter of surrender, his face extremely calm.

Without hope, what is there to fear?

At this moment, Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen hugged each other and were buried in the ruins.

A huge stone broke the beam and fell at their feet. The collapsed boards and tiles were in a mess, and the smoke and dust filled the area, making it impossible to see anything.

Suddenly, Xie Yuan choked and coughed several times, and asked: "Are you all okay..."

"My leg seems to have been broken and I can't move." A soldier in a corner said in pain.

When Liu Qinbing heard this, he said: "Brother, we will help you right away. Just wait for a while, the trebuchet seems to have stopped. A Yuan, how about you, Liu Zhen?"

Shen Liuzhen covered his mouth and nose with his wide sleeves and said dullly: "I'm fine... We are stuck here."

After the smoke and dust settled, they saw that the broken beams were poking into the ground, creating a safe area and trapping them inside.

Fortunately, the bricks and beams used to build the house at that time were relatively strong, otherwise the stones would have been directed at them in both directions, and they would have been smashed into pulp by now...

Xie Yuan looked at the wood in front of him and raised his hand to push it. Liu Qinbing quickly said:

"Don't touch the danger, wait for us to clean up from outside! Wait..."

Liu Qinbing's two corners did not collapse, and they quickly came out. The two of them worked together to move away the wood and broken bricks, and Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen climbed out.

Then he went to help another soldier without stopping.

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen hid out, curious as to why the trebuchets had stopped and the city was so quiet.

The new houses that had been smashed into tatters had collapsed countless times, and the originally flat field of vision could be seen far away.

Under the city gate, where the two armies were facing each other, her father was kneeling on the ground, holding a letter of surrender, and he burst into her sight.

...surrendered?

Xie Yuan couldn't describe his feelings at this time...disappointment? Or emptiness?

Shen Liuzhen stood next to her and was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

Just now they were on the line between life and death, didn't their persistence and fear seem a bit ridiculous? If I had known this, why not surrender from the beginning? If that was the case...

Shen Liuzhen's eyes lit up for a moment and he said:

"...Perhaps this is also a delaying tactic. Should we go out? Forget about the others. Xie has an old grudge against the Beiyi court, and my father is fighting with them on the front line again... I guess neither of us will be fine. .”

Xie Yuan looked at the ruins around him. They could see the front of the formation, and the people in front of the formation could naturally also see them.

So he said:

"What can you do if you don't get out? Can you escape?"

At this moment, Liu Qinbing and the others came out driving another soldier with an injured leg... Like them, they were stunned at the scene in the distance.

"Treat the injuries first." Xie Yuanyan said coquettishly. The dead bodies scattered on the ground in front of her came into her eyes. She thought of Xunya, who didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and squinted her eyes.

The group of them just came out in full public view and walked to the front.

When Guan Yifei and the others had been watching the huge trebuchets pounding inside, they were already filled with despair. When they saw them coming out, they immediately shouted with joy:

"Thank you brother!"

"Shen Langjun!"

They were stunned by the glare of the Beiyi soldiers next to them, so they stopped talking and huddled together in one place fearfully.

The general who received the letter of surrender was very young. He stood sideways, looking at the few people who came out of the ruins with gray faces, and laughed sarcastically and said:

"You're pretty lucky? It won't matter if you smash it like this? Is this what you mean by the saying that rats just have to survive?"

Xie Yun kept watching with surprise as the two children came out safe and sound. However, he was a surrendered person at this time. He dared not move without the other party's permission, so he kept resisting the urge to step forward and watched.

At this time, when I heard the uneducated Beiyi man opposite me uttering arrogant words, I felt slightly embarrassed and then calmed down.

But how could Xie Yuan, who had suffered such contempt all his life, endure it? What's more, in her heart, these people had harmed Xun Ya, killed so many people, and destroyed the house they had worked so hard to build!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She gritted her teeth and was about to have an attack on the spot!

Suddenly, she felt her right arm drop suddenly. When she turned around, she saw that Shen Liuzhen seemed to be too frightened to stand up. He held her hand with both hands and sat on the ground, sobbing. cried and said:

"Teacher... I was scared to death. A Yuan and I were almost killed. Wuwuwu... why did you come to save us..."

If Shen Liuzhen hadn't grasped this opportunity, and if his hand that was about to draw the sword hadn't been tightly grasped by him, Xie Yuan wouldn't even be able to tell whether he was acting or not.

Maybe... half true and half false.

Xie Yuan thought of the scene where he was hiding in the corner just now, with dust falling from his head, and the sound of stones falling to the ground. At this time, he escaped, and the suppressed fear and despair in his heart came back again.

...The anger in my heart was replaced by grievance and fear, and I especially wanted to cry...

Especially now, they have surrendered...
