It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 539 Brother and Sister Discuss World Affairs

The food served by Zhang Heng and other guards was very rough, with hard cakes and cold pickled vegetables. For those who stayed in the palace, it was still impossible to swallow. Especially Sima Jing, who only took a look, turned her head away, pouted and looked very unhappy.

The expressions of the others were not very good either, and they lowered their heads one by one.

Only Yang Xianrong picked up the cake and said to Zhang Heng, "Have you eaten it?"

"Not yet." Zhang Heng grinned, "Only the girl can be given some food, the others just drink some water."

"Then take these foods out and share them with everyone." Yang Xianrong broke the cake in half and handed it to Zhang Heng, "Eat this first and then go out and tell them."

"Girl, this is inappropriate." Zhang Heng quietly glanced at Yang Xianyong, Yuan Jianshuo and others.

"They despise these foods and think they should still live a life of luxury." Yang Xianrong snorted, "That's it. They are not hungry. If they were really hungry, they would have eaten."

"Third sister." Yang Xianyong was a little embarrassed, "That's not what I meant."

"It doesn't matter. It's like this now anyway. You guys take a break first and we'll talk later." Yang Xianrong took a bite of the cold and hard biscuit, then looked at Liu Yao outside the tent and asked, "Has General Liu eaten yet? Can I go out of the tent to get some fresh air?"

Liu Yao put the long sword with the curled blade behind him and said, "Third sister, you can move freely in the camp. If you want to go somewhere, I can accompany you."

"That's not necessary. General Liu, please go and get busy first." Yang Xianrong's tone was extremely distant, which made Liu Yao very uncomfortable. He frowned, "It's an emergency, and there's nothing to eat. His Majesty will set up a banquet in the palace later, so there should be some food."

"Yeah." Yang Xianrong just nodded, walked up to him, looked at his bloodstained armor, and finally sighed and asked, "Are you injured?"

"No." Liu Yao's red eyes were filled with her figure.

"That's good." Yang Xianrong looked towards the direction of the Luoyang Imperial Palace outside the big tent.

There was black smoke everywhere and I didn't know where the fire was.

She was in the core camp of Liu Cong's army, heavily guarded and without any sound. If she didn't know the current situation, it would be difficult to feel the intensity of the battle. However, the blood and bloody footprints of Liu Yao and other soldiers also showed how tragic the situation was in the past three days and three nights. For some reason, she even felt a little bit lucky in her heart. Fortunately, Sima Zhong and Sima Ying were not alive, otherwise she didn't know what she would think if she saw that it was Liu Yao who broke into the palace and killed people.

He broke the half cake in his hand into another half and handed it to Liu Yao. His hands were still bloody and dirty, but in this situation, he had no choice but to do so. Liu Yao's eyes lit up and he accepted the half cake. He whispered to Yang Xianrong, "You are safe here, don't be afraid. I still have some things to do..."

"Okay." Before Liu Yao finished speaking, Yang Xianrong nodded, "You go, I'll be here." "Okay." Liu Yao glanced at the people in the tent again, and finally turned and left without saying anything.

Yang Xianrong stood outside the big tent, looking in the direction where the black smoke was rising, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

It was not until nightfall that Yang Xianyong came to her side and asked, "I'll let them sleep for a while. They've been too frightened these past few days. Yuan Jianshuo and the others are also injured. Zhang Heng and the others are treating them... What are your plans?"

"What plans can I make?" Yang Xianrong looked at him, "Brother, Zhang Heng should have told you, right?"

"It's just that after he left... he became a monk and met you." Yang Xianyong sighed, "I know that the Great Jin is in such chaos and corruption. But you have to know that you and I are still the people of the Great Jin, not to mention that you are the queen of the Great Jin..."

"She was once the queen." Yang Xianrong reminded, "and she was the queen they wanted to kill."

"Yes, I hate it too, very much. So when you proposed to return to Tai'an County, I was the first to agree, wasn't I?" Yang Xianyong was very serious, "Third sister, I have the same idea as you, but if you saw how Liu Yao and Wang Mi killed the people of Luoyang City, and the officials of the Jin Dynasty, it was too bloody and brutal. If such people were allowed to rule the world, wouldn't the people's lives be even more miserable?"

"What should we do? This is a life-and-death struggle for power." Yang Xianrong was a little excited. "Brother, I came from Tai'an County and saw a lot of killing along the way. Do you think the army of Dajin will be merciful and not kill people? They also plundered and raped a lot. Do you know why I insisted on letting Brother Xu leave? It was because on the way, a group of stragglers from Dajin rushed into a village and killed all the people there. Those women, those pregnant women were raped... Brother Xu couldn't help but kill, and he was bloodthirsty. He killed 68 people. This is his karma. If he follows me, I don't know how many people he will kill, and I don't know what will happen to him?"

"How could this be? Third sister, is there anything wrong?" Yang Xianyong clenched his fists. "It would be better if you just stayed in Tai'an County and waited for me to take them back. Why did you come here?"

"Yang Xianlian stole the imperial seal and gave it to Liu Cong." There was an obscure light in Yang Xianrong's eyes. "This was left to me by Sima Zhong. Whether he wanted me to use it to save my life or he wanted to get it when there was a new emperor in the future, he would not mistreat a weak woman like me... He thought a lot, he wanted me to live... Even if I hid somewhere in Tai'an County, no one would make things difficult for us. However, Yang Xianlian stole it, and what he stole was not just the imperial seal, but the lives of all of us."

"How do you know she will give it to Liu Cong?" Yang Xianyong asked.

"Who else could she give it to?" Yang Xianrong snorted. "She is also stupid. Does she think Liu Cong is serious and only likes her? Fortunately, she is dead, otherwise she would go crazy when she saw those women in the big tent on the left of Liu Cong."

"What?" Yang Xianyong was stunned again, and followed her gaze to the big tent on the left. There was a dim candlelight there, and some shadows were swaying. It was obvious that some women were swaying their bodies, perhaps dancing. "What did Liu Cong do?"

"In fact, don't treat others as fools. Those who want to seize this world are all ruthless." Yang Xianrong looked at Yang Xianyong very seriously, "Brother, don't get involved in this muddy water. Take Jing'er back to Tai'an County as soon as possible and hide. In this world, who knows what will happen in the future."

"No, I want to take you with me." Yang Xianyong disagreed.

"Then do you think I can leave?" Yang Xianrong smiled bitterly, "Don't stay with me. The men around the Phoenix-Fate woman, even their family members, all have bad endings. I didn't believe this before, but now it seems that everything has come true."
