It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 513 Tears outside Luoyang City

When the gates of Luoyang were opened, one could still see the broken bodies of the Jin soldiers defending the city and the unburned smoke, which also proved that the battle was extremely brutal when Liu He broke into the city.

The wheels rolled over the dried black blood and the fallen flag of the Great Jin Dynasty, but still moved forward.

Yang Xianrong followed behind, following closely.

She did not let Cui Xi support her anymore, but walked forward by herself, straightening her thin back.

She is the queen of Da Jin. Even if the country is about to perish, at this moment, she is still the most noble woman in Da Jin.

At this time, Liu He had already walked to the front of the funeral procession, riding a tall black horse, and was indeed majestic. The guards guarding the city gate had all been replaced by his men, and when they saw him coming, they shouted, "General!"

The sound was deafening, and it broke the sadness.

However, the solemn atmosphere was soon broken by a sneer from Liu Cong who was standing at the door. He said in a loud voice, "Hey, big brother, what a grand ceremony!"

"You're not too late." Liu He glanced at him, "But I was the first one to enter the city, wasn't I, fourth brother?"

The implication was very clear: the throne of the Han Dynasty belonged to him.

Liu Cong's face twisted and he yelled, "If you hadn't cheated, would I have been a step slower?"

"So what? People in the Jin Dynasty like to use 'all is fair in war', so what if I use it? Besides, the mother of the little queen you like has died, and I will personally attend the funeral. This is at least doing you justice, right?" Liu He smiled happily, with contempt in his eyes.

After hearing this, Liu Cong noticed that behind Liu He was the Yang family's pitch-black carriage, and looking further back, he saw Yang Xianrong's extremely pale face.

"Third sister, what happened?" Liu Cong shouted anxiously, wanting to rush over to see what was going on. But he was still a general with thousands of soldiers and horses following him. Seeing his commander doing this, he wanted to follow him.

How could the black cavalry on Liu He's side relax? They all immediately went into a state of high alert.

This further confirmed the rumors that the two brothers were not on good terms.

However, from behind Liu Cong came the sound of even more chaotic running, and someone was shouting, "Third sister, what happened? What happened?"

This is Yang Xiankang's voice.

After not seeing him for a long time, he had lost a lot of weight, and his elder brother Yang Xianyong beside him was even darker, thinner and more capable, with a face full of panic and vicissitudes. The two brothers did not ride horses, but ran towards the Yang family's carriage.

Yang Xianrong could no longer control her emotions when she saw her two brothers, and she knelt down and cried bitterly. Qin Chaoge and Zhang Liangchu also got off the carriage and knelt down on the ground, tears streaming down their faces.

All the people in Tianyuan Palace knelt down and prostrated themselves on the ground.

The two brothers were even more panicked when they saw this scene. They didn't care about the swords and knives of those people, but walked through directly, knelt in front of Yang Xianrong, and asked, "What happened?"

"Big brother, second brother... Mother... is gone..." Yang Xianrong cried so hard that she couldn't say a complete sentence. Cui Xi supported her and whispered, "Mistress... died three hours ago. She was infected with an epidemic disease, which broke out very quickly. She died in less than three days..." "Ahhhhh!" The two brothers couldn't believe what they heard and saw, and they burst into tears. Many members of the Yang family followed them, such as Miaoying, Nanny Seven, and Nanny Yan who had already gone with them, as well as Yuan Jianshuo, He Jiunian and others.

They were all dressed as civilians and had no weapons in their hands.

Liu He took a look and then waved his hand, ordering his black cavalry to only target Liu Cong and his men.

Yang Xiankang saw his fifth sister standing behind him with an indifferent expression, and his heart ached again. He reached out and held her in his arms, and asked Xu Henian beside him: "Is there anything wrong with her?"

"So far, it's fine. They just don't talk." Xu Henian replied, "The epidemic in Luoyang City is out of control and has spread to the palace. Not only people in Tianyuan Palace have died from the epidemic, but also in other palaces. And it only took three days from infection to onset, so fast that it is impossible to use medicine..."

"Have the third and fifth sisters been infected?" Yang Xiankang was so anxious.

"It doesn't look like it yet, but this disease has an incubation period..." Xu Henian shook his head, "At present, I can only use incense such as mugwort to deal with it."

"Third sister, are you feeling unwell?" Yang Xiankang hugged Yang Xianrong and touched her thin little face. There was no trace of her graceful and beautiful look on her face, only sadness and sorrow.

"Second brother." Yang Xianrong finally called out, her voice hoarse.

"Third sister." Yang Xianyong held Yang Xianrong's hand, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Yang Xianrong shook his head.

"Well, the coffin in the carriage is my mother's?" Yang Xianyong's tears fell down in big drops, but he still maintained a resolute look.

"Yes." Yang Xianrong's voice trembled and she couldn't help crying again.

Liu Yao stood up to help, letting the two Yang brothers jump on the carriage and open the coffin... Finally seeing their mother's body, the two men cried heartbreakingly again. Men's crying is different from women's, they are more powerful and more sad. Even Liu and Liu Cong's men quietly put down their weapons and lowered their heads to think about their own thoughts when they heard such crying.

As the weather warmed up, the ice and snow melted, and the Luo River, which ran through Luoyang City, became extremely turbulent. As it had been snowing all winter, the accumulated ice and snow melted into the Luo River, causing all the bridges on the Luo River closest to Luoyang City to be washed away.

When Liu He led his troops to attack, they also built a temporary floating bridge, which was shaky. Now, with so many people walking around, the floating bridge was obviously cracking and making a cracking sound, and the surrounding soil was also loosening.

Just when the Yang family members were kneeling to worship Sun Ying, Yang Xianlian quietly left them and walked towards Liu Cong alone.

Liu Cong's attention was focused on Liu He, and he didn't care about the chaos at the Yang family's side. If Liu He's black cavalry hadn't suddenly raised their long swords again, he would have noticed that the expressionless Yang Xianlian was passing through the blades and walking straight towards him.

"Fifth sister! Don't move anymore, it's dangerous!" Liu Cong was startled and shouted anxiously, "Don't move, don't move."

At this time, Liu He looked like he was enjoying a good show, staring at the girl who looked like Yang Xianrong. However, he soon discovered that this girl was very abnormal. She only looked in the direction of Liu Cong, not at anyone else, and didn't care about the cold blades.
