We all held the fence and listened to the dense sounds of rain falling into the river, and felt a shock under our feet and the big ship leaned on the embankment in the north of the river.

Many other warships had already landed and transported a large number of soldiers to land. At this time, Pei Yuanxiu landed on the shore, and many soldiers still stepped onto the embankment first to ensure his safety. After a moment, the people were already lined up on the dock neatly, covering their hands on the swords at their waists.

A guard stepped forward and said, "Young master, you can go ashore."

He nodded and was about to walk to the stairs, Han Ruoshi was naturally following him. Pei Yuanxiu had just walked to the entrance of the stairs and suddenly felt something. When he turned around, he saw that I followed them and prepared to get off the boat.

He immediately said, "You shouldn't go."

I bit my lower lip and said, "I'm going."

"You shouldn't see these things."

“…”

"And it rains, you'll catch a cold."

“…”

"go back."

He patiently advised me, but I didn't say anything, but insisted on standing in front of him, but refused to take a step back. His brows frowned slightly. At this moment, Han Ruoshi smiled and said, "Husband, Miss Yan must go, let her go."

“…”

"After all, her feelings for Yangzhou are unusual."

As soon as this sentence came out, it was like a drop of cold rain fell into his eyes. Pei Yuanxiu's eyes became slightly cold, and he suddenly turned his head as if a layer of frost condensed.

Finally, I didn't stop me anymore.

I hurriedly got off the boat with them.

As soon as I stepped onto the embankment, everyone started to shake slightly. In the past month, my feet had not stepped onto the real land. At this time, I finally felt a little relieved. The shore was full of mud. I wonder if it was my illusion, but I seemed to see the faint blood red in the mud.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

We did not ride a carriage or ride a horse. We walked slowly along the steps of the embankment in such heavy rain. In front of us was a spacious gravel road that stretched from the gate of Yangzhou City to here. Although there were winding and twists in the middle, many trees on both sides blocked our sight, I knew that the city that had lost its ability to resist and could only wait for the slaughter was right in front of us.

The soldiers on both sides walked in line in the rain, and the raindrops as big as beans fell on the armor they were wearing, and the crackling sound seemed to be urging something.

After a while, we walked outside Yangzhou City.

The door is tightly closed.

Of course I know why. Pei Yuanxiu didn't believe in the people of Yangzhou City at all. Just as Han Ruoshi said just now, although this city has been captured, who knows what people think? Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that it is easier for them to kill these people than to keep them in danger of rebellion.

After all, as long as there is a city, there is no fear that no one will come to live.

I shivered slightly in the wind and rain, looked up at the tall city tower, and many places could see the traces left by the fierce battle last night. Some battlements were even broken, and many deep scratches could be seen on the city walls, and even large brown marks, which were the color left by blood on it.

Pei Yuanxiu stood in the middle of the road, looked behind his back for a while, and then asked, "Where are those guarding the city?"

Someone next to him immediately stepped forward and replied: "We have already tied up, right on the top of the city."

He nodded.

Those people took the order and immediately waved the flags in their hands towards the guards in the city. When the people on the city wall saw it, they immediately took action. After a while, they saw their men coming out in a row. Every two guards were escorted with their hands tied behind them. The people who were obviously captured walked out and walked to the center of the battlements of the city wall.

When I saw this, I felt something was wrong. My heart suddenly raised my throat and turned to look at him in panic: "You, what are you going to do."

He was silent for a moment, reached out to take the oil-paper umbrella from the servant behind him, and walked to me: "Qingying, you should go back."

I was already panicked, looked at him, and then looked at the original city tower: "What the hell are you going to do?!"

At this moment, he waved his hand suddenly.

The people on the city tower had already received the order and immediately waved the big knife in their hands and slashed at the necks of the prisoners.

"No--!"

I screamed in shock, and the people in the distance didn't even have time to make a scream. All the heads of people standing in the middle of the battlements of the city wall were cut off. Blood suddenly gushed out and sprinkled on the city wall, slowly flowing down, forming dozens of blood-red rivers!

And there was also a burst of horror in the city.

I immediately guessed that not only facing us, but also facing the city walls, they must be the same as I saw just now. They were killing prisoners. When the heads fell down, the blood that gushed out would bring how much fear it would bring to those who were no longer dead or alive!

I just felt like my legs were weak and I almost fell down. Pei Yuanxiu reached out and supported me.

He threw the oil paper umbrella aside.

The cold raindrops fell on the two of us. He looked down at me. His hair and eyelashes were quickly wet with the rain. Only those eyes were as warm as the rain from beginning to end, even colder than the rain. Only his hands were still warm and hugged my waist hard: "I told you a long time ago that you shouldn't come."

"Why!"

I grabbed his arm with both hands and tore his clothes hard: "They have surrendered and are already your prisoners, why do you still kill them?"

He turned his head and looked at the blood color that was constantly stained with the rain on the city tower, then looked at my eyes, and said lightly: "Yangzhou has delayed us for too long."

“…”

"We have to face many such cities this way."

“…”

"If every city is consumed like me, we can't afford it, and they can't afford it."

“…”

"From today on all cities, everyone who guards the city will know what will happen if they resist me, Pei Yuanxiu."

I heard it and my whole body trembled, but his eyes became strangely gentle at this moment.

"But as long as you obey me, you will not bleed, and you will not die."

“…”

"But, Yangzhou people don't have this opportunity."

After saying this, he looked ahead coldly, and at this time, an oil-paper umbrella was supported on top of his head. It was Han Ruoshi. A trace of contempt flashed in her eyes. She only glanced at me and said softly to Pei Yuanxiu: "Husband, the battle is imminent, husband must take care of his body."

“…”

"Now, you can start."

Pei Yuanxiu looked back at her, slowly helped me up, and nodded.

Han Ruoshi immediately waved at the person behind her.

At this time, I heard a heavy but neat footsteps coming from behind us.

Turning around, I saw two teams of soldiers running from the dock in the vast rain. I don’t know how many ships were following our big ship, which could transport so many people. These people were all armoured, but they didn’t look like they had experienced a great battle before. The swords on their waists were all shaking in the rain, emitting a strong smell of iron.

Like the smell of blood.

These people ran over from behind and ran to our side, but did not stop and continued to move forward.

At this moment, I finally understood.

They are the soldiers who are going to massacre the city!

Pei Yuanxiu had just killed the last guards of Yangzhou City, that is, the last one to resist in Yangzhou City. Now the city is full of old, weak, women and children who were scared by the tragic moment just now. These people are undoubtedly beasts with sharp teeth and sharp teeth for them!

My body trembled in the cold rain.

He felt my fear and was about to say something to me, but suddenly I reached out and pushed him away.

Pei Yuanxiu frowned: "Light!"

I didn't say anything, turned around and walked forward quickly.

The cold rain hit my face and the body, which was cold and painful, and soon made me numb. My clothes were soaked in the rain, so heavy that I could hardly take steps, but I still dragged the heaviest burden to Yangzhou City step by step. Pei Yuanxiu shouted behind me: "Light!"

When the soldiers around him saw me running over like this, they were all shocked and were about to come and catch me immediately. When they heard Pei Yuanxiu's voice coming from the rain: "Don't hurt her!"

The people hesitated again, and soon they realized that I was not trying to escape.

It wasn't even about to run to Yangzhou City in front, I just walked to the front of those soldiers and spread my hands to stop them.

In the pouring rain, I was like a scarecrow who was the most powerless, and might be knocked down to the ground in the next moment. When they looked at me, even if they couldn't see clearly, I knew that it was full of incredible and frivolity.

And they didn't do anything anymore, they all stopped.

The heavy rain was still pouring down. The blood mixed with rainwater on the Yangzhou city tower fell down in large areas, gathering on the ground into a red river of blood slowly flowing down the road. Soon, the corners of my clothes were dyed red, and the people around me seemed to be standing in a river of blood.

Pei Yuanxiu walked up slowly, and he frowned: "Qingying, what are you doing?"

I gritted my teeth and spread my hands without saying anything.

He said, "At this time, do you still want to stop me?"

“…”

"You should understand that you can't stop me."

“…”

"Don't you understand yet? If you want to stop me, it will only cause more people to fall."

These words of his awakened the most feared memories of my on board these days. Whenever I want to resist him, whenever I want to say "no" to him, he will use the gentlest attitude and cruel means to let me know that I have no room to refuse any of his words or even his actions.

But at this moment, I stood in front of him motionlessly, spreading my hands to stop him.

In fact, those people would not be blocked by a weak woman like me, a pair of weakest arms. But Pei Yuanxiu stood in front of me, so they did not dare to act rashly.
