It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 545: Unforgettable at First Sight
"If I were Yang Xianrong, I would like to go home." Yang Xianrong pushed Liu Yao away, and her hair suddenly fell apart. She was so beautiful that everyone held their breath. The golden hairpin that was originally used to hold her hair had broken into two pieces, and her hair naturally fell down.

Liu Yao wanted to grab her hair with his hands, but Yang Xianrong dodged him again and tied her hair together with the bright yellow silk in her hand, making it look like a hair accessory for an ordinary girl in the Jin Dynasty, light and playful.

However, she looked so out of place standing in the bloody place of Shura in Taiji Hall. The officials and palace servants of Dajin also stared at her blankly, losing all their thoughts for a moment.

After Liu Yao was pushed away by Yang Xianrong, his face looked much worse. He had also drunk a lot of wine and felt a little dizzy. He couldn't remember how many times Yang Xianrong had pushed him away in the past few days. However, the feeling was very bad.

"Third sister, I'll go with you!" Liu Yao yelled again.

"No need." Yang Xianrong took another half step back, but her gentle voice struck Liu Yao's heart hard, "General Liu, you can't humiliate your talents because of me. The Han Dynasty still needs you, it needs you very much. And I don't need you."

"What are you talking about? You don't need me?" Liu Yao was really angry, "I need you!"

"General, why do you have to dwell on these things? Why don't you take this opportunity to drive across the river? There is Sima Chi in the south and Sima Mo in the west. Do you think you can really take over the territory of the Great Jin? And are the Fufeng governor Liang Zong, Xinping governor Zhu Hui, Anding governor Jia Pi and Yongzhou governor Qu Te really willing to let you occupy the territory of the Great Jin?" Yang Xianrong stood straight in the pool of blood, and her demeanor was not to be underestimated. Her thoughts were very clear, and she instantly said the embarrassing situation that the Han Dynasty was facing.

Even the Jin officials who had surrendered to Liu Cong could not help but nod their heads. Liu Yin, whose little daughter Liu Cong had just married to Sima Chi, said, "Empress Hui... Oh, the Yang girl is right. Your Majesty and the general should not be complacent just because we have captured Luoyang. There are still many people eyeing us covetously."

"I don't believe that the general doesn't know the current situation." Yang Xianrong looked at Liu Yao, "This is your father's wish. The person sitting there is your brother. Why should the general follow me?"

This time, Liu Yao really couldn't speak. He just looked at her. His pupils were filled with her appearance, but he was also rapidly thinking about every word she said.

She looked like a weak woman, but with just a few words, she outlined the current prospects of the Han Dynasty. There were still so many people who needed to be dealt with, and this was an extremely long process. If Liu Yao hadn't rushed forward, Liu Cong himself would not have been able to do so many things.

Liu Cong looked at Liu Yao, and he naturally understood that he had to control Liu Yao.

But when Liu Yao looked at Yang Xianrong, he knew very well that if they parted this time, they might never see each other again in their lifetime.

"Then can you come with me?" Liu Yao finally asked.

"What if I don't go with you?" Yang Xianrong looked at him, there was no anxiety or hesitation in her eyes, she was even very calm, just like when they were talking before.

Liu Yao felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his breathing paused for a moment. He picked up the large wine jar, gulped down several mouthfuls, and then said, "Then... you can go."

"Okay. Thank you." Yang Xianrong looked at him again, then turned around and walked out of the Taiji Hall, stepping on the blood. But just as she stepped out, the sound of swords piercing into bodies and screams or groans rang out behind her.

That was Liu Cong's order, asking the guards to kill all the Jin officials in the hall, leaving no one alive. Even the harem women who followed Liang Lanbi were not left alive, all were killed.

Even Liu Yao couldn't help but turn his head away when he saw such a scene.

In fact, he didn't want to watch any more. He just felt more and more pain in his heart as he watched Yang Xianrong walking further and further away.

His father Liu Yuan asked him to find a way to keep Yang Xianrong by his side, and she would become his greatest helper in the future. He even gave him some advice and he did it, but it didn't work. Or maybe it was because he was too stupid and not suitable to be an emperor. Liu Yao poured all the last wine in the big wine jar into his mouth, and a lot of it spilled from his head, soaking his whole body. He thought no one noticed him, but Liu Cong kept looking at him, very seriously.

People will always be killed, blood will always be shed, and the Luoyang Palace of the Jin Dynasty was eventually destroyed by a fire.

Liu Cong led his men and horses, carrying all the gold, silver and jewels that could be looted from the Jin imperial palace and Luoyang City, and headed for Pingyang. After all, that was his base camp, and even if the troops from all sides joined together to attack him, it would be difficult to attack because of the terrain of Pingyang. Moreover, Liu Cong also needed to take a breath and recuperate for a while, after all, the losses were not small.

In addition, this was his greatest victory since he ascended the throne, and he should celebrate it and grant amnesty to the whole country, changing the reign title to Jiaping. He fought fiercely with Liu He, but he was not fully prepared to be the emperor, at least in terms of manpower. Even if he had military generals like Liu Yao, he would certainly not be able to succeed in terms of both civil and military strategies. Therefore, he persuaded some former Jin officials to surrender and serve him.

Of course, there were also some who refused to work for him and committed suicide with their entire family to pledge their loyalty to the Jin Dynasty.

There were many such incidents, and many versions of them were spread among the people. People only dared to say a few words in a low voice, and then hid away again.

The rich could flee to the countryside, but how could the country people flee? Many places had even become battlefields, and it was impossible to survive. More often, when bandits and other troops passed by, they demanded money, food, and strong labor. Later, even old men and strong women were conscripted into the team.

As for which team it was, the people had no idea.

They just followed the people in front of them, then rushed forward to grab the things, and in the end they had no idea what they were doing.

On the second day after the banquet in Taiji Hall, seeing that Liu Cong had left, Yang Xianrong asked Yang Xianyong to take the people from Tianyuan Palace and leave as soon as possible, and bring Sima Jing and others back to Tai'an County so that they would be safe.

Yuan Jianshuo, Zhang Heng, He Jiunian and others refused to leave, but also refused to be incorporated into Liu Cong's army. The two sides were deadlocked and started a quarrel.

Yang Xianyong became even more worried when he saw this situation and insisted on going with Yang Xianrong. But Yang Xianrong said that she still had to go to the Yang family's house in Luoyang City to get some things before she could leave.

Since Liu Cong and his men had already started to move out, they could not stay in the big tent for long. Yang Xianyong had no choice but to agree to let Yang Xianrong take the men away first and wait for her to come back later.

Yang Xianrong finally smiled, and reached out to hug Yang Xianyong and Sima Jing, saying with a smile: "You must be well, and you must return to Tai'an County safely."

Yang Xianyong felt that it was very awkward for her to say this, but because there were so many people around and so many things to do, he didn't think too much about it and decided to leave here first. What's more, his third sister was so smart and brave, and she was able to escape unscathed in such a Shura field, so what else did he have to worry about?

However, when Yang Xianrong watched them leave, he could not help but take a step back, sit on a stone block nearby, and vomited a mouthful of blood.

I have been traveling frequently recently, so I have changed the update to once a day. Please forgive me.

It is expected to return to normal after the 16th.

Thank you for voting every day. I am very touched. Vote more. Love you.

Spoiler alert, the next part is the love story between Liu Yao and Yang Xianrong. Of course, there will be many twists and turns between them, and they will experience many things together. Hehe, Liu Yao is her true love, so there will naturally be some sweet moments.
