Chapter 244 The Last Struggle
Great Zhou Dynasty.

Tongyuan City is located a hundred miles south of the imperial capital, and it is the last gateway to the south of the imperial capital. If Tongyuan City is breached, the rebels will come to the imperial capital.

At this time, the atmosphere on Tongyuan City was extremely solemn, and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty stood on the city wall, holding their weapons tightly.

A heavy breath enveloped the entire city, making people feel breathless.

King Xuan stood on the top of the city tower, looking at the south with a serious expression.

There are endless tents there, which are the camps of 300,000 rebels.

Looking at the cold and chilling camp, he suddenly regretted it.

If he knew this earlier, he shouldn't be greedy for beauty and temptation.

It's all right now, if he didn't resist the temptation, he would have to bear the responsibility that shouldn't belong to him.

Even if he wants to retreat at this time, there are countless people behind him forcing him to stand here.

He is the tallest among the dwarfs, and now he is pinning the hopes of all the Great Zhou royal family.

He didn't run away, although he had such an idea, but in the end he gave up.

When peony flowers die, it is also romantic to be a ghost.

Now that the romance has passed, it's time for him to serve.

And he didn't know where to escape.

Although Nine Territories Shenzhou is big, only the Great Zhou Dynasty is his shelter, leaving the Great Zhou Dynasty, he is a bereaved dog.

As King Xuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was still a bit arrogant.

Death in battle may be a good ending.

Looking through the flying flag, King Xuan suddenly laughed.

It seems that it is not a loss to be favored by the queen mother, but he does not know how to face his nephew when he is underground.

At this moment, the war drums rang, and strong vibrations could be felt on the city walls.

Thousands of arrows flew in, and a great battle broke out.

"kill!"

King Xuan drew out his long sword, pointed straight ahead, and roared loudly.

……

Tongyuan City blocked the rebels for three days and was finally breached.

King Xuan stood on the tower with scars all over his body, turned around slowly, and looked in the direction of the imperial capital.

His eyes gradually dimmed, and his vitality slowly faded away.

"Queen, this is the only thing I can do!"

For three days, he didn't leave the city tower, fighting with all his might.

It was because of his hard work that Tongyuan City lasted for three days.

It's a pity that it can only last three days.

Finally, he drew a fairly good end to his life.

Although he did a mediocre thing, he did not waste the efforts of the Queen Mother Zhou.

Fighting to the death is the last thing he can do for Queen Mother Zhou and Da Zhou.

Sun Yu, dressed in battle armor, came to the city wall, looked at King Xuan who was supporting his body with a long sword, and sighed.

"I really don't know whether to envy this guy or scold this bastard."

Although the three days were not long, King Xuan's tenacious fighting power brought them a lot of casualties.

It was also under his command that the soldiers could last for three days.

"King Xuan! His reputation is not bad, but it is a pity that he was born in the wrong era."

Said a young man wearing silver-white armor with a firm face next to him.

This young man is Yu Guogong, named Yu Shiguo.

"That was before, but now his reputation is not very good." Sun Yu said.

Yu Shiguo said: "It was just used by the Queen Mother Zhou."

"Come on, take it down and bury it."

Sun Yu glanced at King Xuan's body, then turned to look north.

"The next step is the imperial capital."

Yu Shiguo smiled and looked in the direction of the imperial capital.

"I believe we will be able to complete the task soon." He said softly.

The tough face was full of yearning, which made Sun Yu next to him very strange.

Although he has been working with Yu Shiguo for several months, he has never understood why Yu Shiguo betrayed Da Zhou, and he doesn't even have any psychological burden.

"You have a grudge against Da Zhou?" Sun Yu couldn't help asking.

"No. Why do you ask this?" Yu Shiguo looked at him suspiciously.

"Just curious." Sun Yu laughed.

Yu Shiguo glanced at him and said, "My master is Duan Yanxian."

"Duan Yanxian! One of the three commanders?" Sun Yu asked.

"That's right." Yu Shiguo nodded slightly.

After Jin Yiwei annexed the Shadow Guard, there were three commanders, namely Hei Mo, Duan Yanxian, and Jin Chen.

Needless to say, the Black Devil was the leader of the first batch of shadow guards that Zheng Qingsong gave to Zheng Ming, and Jin Chen was originally from Xichang, and later joined the Jinyi Guards.

As for Duan Yanxian, he is the Shadow in the Shadow Guard, and he was one of the people in charge of the Shadow before.

"I joined Shadow 15 years ago. At that time, I was only nine years old. Although Shadow has become Jinyiwei now, I am your senior in terms of seniority." Yu Shiguo laughed.

"..."

Sun Yu was speechless for a while. He always thought that it was Yu Shiguo who Jin Yiwei had only recruited in recent years, but he didn't expect Yu Shiguo to be the shadow person.

"Actually, I've always wanted to go to Dali." Yu Shiguo said again.

"Why?" Sun Yu asked.

"Because Master is my closest person, I want to follow him, but now it is because of His Majesty."

Yu Shiguo's eyes sparkled, and he said with a look of admiration: "I have heard many legends about your majesty, destroying Bailianzong, asking to kill Xin Yuanchen, defeating several great masters at the same time, eliminating the danger of Dali's overthrow, and establishing the current Shengshi Dali."

"I heard that His Majesty is the same age as me."

Sun Yu was stunned and couldn't help laughing.

It turned out to be an admirer of His Majesty.

"Have you seen His Majesty?" Yu Shiguo asked.

Sun Yu was in a trance for a while, recalling the scene when he saw Zheng Ming on Yihe Island.

"I have seen."

"What is it like?" Yu Shiguo said with bright eyes.

Sun Yu spread his hands and said, "I dare not talk nonsense about this."

Yu Shiguo looked disappointed.

Sun Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "You'll know when you meet."

"Let's go, after taking down the imperial capital, His Majesty will definitely receive you."

Yu Shiguo nodded vigorously.

……

Among the imperial capitals of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

An old eunuch bowed and hurried into the solemn hall.

In the hall, the Empress Dowager Zhou was wearing a long crimson dress, her complexion was pale, and her eyes shone with a light red light, making her look extraordinarily coquettish.

"Empress Dowager, the battle report ahead." The old eunuch lowered his head and said softly.

There was a silence in the hall, and after a while, the Empress Dowager Zhou raised her head stiffly and looked at the old eunuch.

"Read!"

Binghan's voice contained no emotion.

"The rebel army under the leadership of Yu Shiguo has broken through Tongyuan City, and Prince Xuan died in battle~"

The old eunuch said tremblingly.

The hall was filled with dead silence. After the old eunuch finished reading, he stood motionless, not daring to breathe.

However, the Empress Dowager Zhou said without any fluctuations in her expression: "The Ai family knows, you can step back."

The old eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and exited the hall.

In the silent hall, the Empress Dowager Zhou stood up slowly, dragging her long skirt and walking slowly behind the screen.

"how long will it take?"

"It will be done tonight."

The Empress Dowager Zhou nodded slightly, and then took off her long skirt, revealing her pale skin.

It's just that the pale skin was covered with blue-black lines, and the astonishing lines spread all over the body, which was shocking and inexplicable.

"continue."

The Queen Mother Zhou lay on the bed, slowly closed her eyes, and said with a cold face.

The middle-aged man looked at the exquisite body in front of him, took a deep breath, and took out a long needle from the wooden box next to him. The long needle turned red under the burning of the charcoal fire.

"Your Majesty, once you're done, there's no turning back!"

he said in a low voice.

The Empress Dowager Zhou opened her eyes suddenly, her scarlet eyes were filled with madness and resentment, and said: "The Ai family has long since had no chance to choose."

"Even if you go to hell, the Ai family will drag Dali and Daoyuanzong together."

Her voice was as cold as a ghost.

The middle-aged man looked gloomy, and slowly pierced the long fiery red needle into his pale skin.

The creaking sound of burning and the faint smoke lingered on the Queen Mother Zhou.

Empress Dowager Zhou felt the intense pain, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, but her eyes still kept the coldness.

The burning sound continued until it slowly stopped when the sky darkened.

Behind the screen, the Empress Dowager Zhou was drenched in sweat, she stood up slowly, and put the crimson long dress on her body.

"Let's go, don't hesitate anymore, the Ai family has already made a decision."

She said indifferently.

The middle-aged man silently followed behind her and entered the secret door next to her.

In the dark tomb, the two sarcophagi have disappeared, and there is only a corpse wearing a dragon robe on the stone platform in the middle.

It was the body of the previous Emperor Zhou.

Although he has been dead for many years, he still maintains the appearance and appearance of his life.

The Empress Dowager Zhou walked slowly to the stone platform, looking at the corpse of the previous Emperor Zhou, her scarlet eyes were full of complicated expressions.

"Do you know how Your Majesty died?" The Queen Mother Zhou said softly, as if she was asking the middle-aged man behind her, or talking to herself.

"He was forced to death by Dao Yuanzong. Your majesty has outstanding cultivation aptitude. He is already a grand master at only 20 years old. If your majesty is still alive now, he may have become a grand master long ago."

"Dao Yuanzong was afraid, so he used despicable means to force His Majesty to death."

"Before he died, His Majesty told me to take good care of Da Zhou and raise the emperor's son well."

"Let me not be sad, not resentful."

"It's a pity I didn't make it."

"I hate the sky for injustice, the earth for injustice, and myself for being incompetent."

Crystal tears dripped on her pale face, and she reached out and gently wiped them away.

"Xu Shanyun, do you think I have other choices?"

Xu Shanyun lowered his head and said: "Madam, this subject will help Madam complete the final arrangements."

The Empress Dowager Zhou looked at the familiar face in front of her, the sadness between her brows suddenly dissipated, and a faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth.

"The concubine must be with His Majesty."

She slowly lay down next to the corpse, glanced at the face close at hand with her eyes, and then slowly closed them.

"let's start."

"I hope I can still see His Majesty when I open my eyes again."

The night was silent, the moon was dim, and the sound of howling wind flowed through the magnificent palace.

Wisps of mournful sounds lingered on the corners of the cornices, and strange auras rose from the hall, lingering and circling, and slowly spreading.

The breath was gray and black, dispelling the hazy moonlight and covering the dim candlelight. In an instant, the brightly lit palace turned into darkness.

Faintly, there was a miserable roar.

It seemed to be the roar of a ferocious beast, and it seemed to be the roar of a ghost.
