Chapter 963 Everything Belongs to You (Combined Chapter)

"why why?!"

"Isn't Ashina your Majesty's confidant?!"

"How dare he surrender to the enemy so easily!"

Wudlu kicked around in the room in anger, and the housekeeper replied with a sad face:

"General Ashina shouted from the top of the city wall, saying that he wanted to restore the orthodoxy of the Chesi family, and also said that he wanted to avenge the late king and queen."

"hiss--"

Udru's legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

It was not until then that he realized that there were so many hidden supporters of the Che Si family in the court, and that An Siyan's rule was far more fragile than they had imagined.

If he killed only one messenger here, it would not be able to save the situation at all, but would probably even endanger his own life.

That’s right, how could Su Yao place his hope on that little messenger?
After observing the popularity of Alyssa and the others with his own eyes, Su Yao did not wait for the messenger. He directly raised the flag and brought the three of them to the front of the formation and shouted to the top of the city wall.

Logically speaking, the defending general Ashina didn't want to pay any attention, but their rule over the years was unpopular.

You should know that the former Cheshi Kingdom inherited half of the territory of the former Cheshi Kingdom and was the legitimate successor of the Cheshi Kingdom, ruling the fertile Turpan Basin and present-day Hami and other areas.

The Cheshi Kingdom and the other four kingdoms were small forces that split off during the chaos. Relying on the barrier of the Bogda Mountains in the north, they could only divide up some relatively barren mountain territories.

However, over the years, the Later Kingdom has continuously invaded the borders of the Former Kingdom, especially the great defeat more than a decade ago, when even the King of the Former Kingdom was captured. The domestic political situation was in chaos, and many territories were eroded. Gradually, the Kingdom had to act according to the consequences. How could it satisfy the people?
It would be fine if life was not going as they wished, but even the rebels from the later country, whom they looked down upon in the past, were now shitting and pissing on their heads. This heavy sense of frustration made everyone start to make a fuss as soon as they heard that there were heirs to the royal family of the previous dynasty.

"Open the city gates! Welcome the royal army!"

"Kill the traitors and restore our Cheshi!"

"Revenge for the princess, revenge for the prince!"

It would have been fine if it was just ordinary people making a fuss, but the defending general Ashina suddenly discovered that even many of his own soldiers were becoming excited.

This scene made Ashina terrified.

As a military general, he was well aware of the horror of a mutiny.

Before the soldiers could act spontaneously, Ashina had already made a decision:
"Open the city gates! Welcome the Han army into the city!"

As the heavy city gate burst open, the Han cavalry poured into Jiaohe City like a tide.

Su Yao took the lead, followed closely by generals such as Ma Chao and Yan Xing, as well as Alyssa's two siblings.

On both sides of the street, the people in the city rushed out to the streets, looking at this mighty army curiously. When they saw the Alyssa sisters and Alozo, a cry of surprise broke out in the crowd:
"It's someone from the Ches family!"

"The princess' niece is back!"

"The royal bloodline is still there!"

Cheers came one after another, and some old people even knelt down and cried. Obviously, the status of the Che Si family in the hearts of the people far exceeded Su Yao's expectations.

"General, shall we go to the palace now?" Ma Chao asked eagerly.

Su Yao looked up at the royal palace located in the north of the city, almost laughed out loud, and shook his head and said:

"No hurry, let Alyssa and the others calm the people first, and order the entire army to strictly abide by military discipline and not disturb the people."

Su Yao was not in a hurry to attack the palace. The reason was simple: it had become a trapped place for him.

Although Jiaohe City is the royal capital, the former Cheshi Kingdom is just a small country with a population of only over 10,000.

Although this city looks majestic from the outside as it is built on a cliff, once you enter the city, you will find that the royal palace, let alone the earthen fort, may not even have the ability to resist as well as the government offices of larger cities in the Central Plains. It is surrounded by just a row of 2-meter-high walls, and you can rush in with a ladder. The defense capability is almost non-existent.

At this moment, An Siyan, who knew all of this, was completely in despair.

The palace was in chaos. Servants and maids fled one after another. Even his loyal palace guards disappeared one after another after hearing the news.

An Siyan was like a lonely trapped beast, sitting powerlessly on the throne, looking helpless.

The dusk in Jiaohe City seemed to be dyed with blood.

Soon Su Yao stood in front of the main gate of the palace, his red cloak fluttering in the hot wind.

"General, the palace gate has been broken!" Ma Chao held a silver spear in his hand, with blood dripping from the tip of the spear.

Su Yao nodded slightly and glanced at the trembling guards on the palace wall.

The Cheshi soldiers held bows in their hands, but none of them dared to shoot. Their eyes were filled with fear, as if they were not facing humans, but Asuras from hell.

"Where is An Siyan?" Su Yao's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

A middle-aged man who looked like a general on the palace wall trembled and answered: "Your Majesty said that if the Han army withdraws, he is willing to offer it."

"Hahaha!" Su Yao laughed loudly, his voice full of sarcasm, "You are a traitor, and you are worthy of bargaining with me?"

Before he finished speaking, Su Yao suddenly leaped up and easily jumped onto their palace wall!

The guards screamed and retreated, only to see Su Yao spread his wings like a roc and land steadily on the wall. He just waved his right hand, a cold light flashed, and the head of the general who had answered the question flew high into the air.

"kill!"

Following Su Yao's order, the Han army poured into the palace like a tide.

Ma Chao and Yan Xing each led their elite troops to attack various important locations within the palace.

Their resistance was minimal - most of the guards had already dropped their weapons and knelt begging for mercy.

Inside the main hall of the palace, An Siyan sat silently on the gilded throne with a pale face.

He was dressed in a luxurious brocade robe and a golden crown, but he could not hide the despair in his eyes. The dozen or so guards left in the hall were holding scimitars and staring at the gate nervously.

An Siyan certainly didn't expect these people to be able to stop the mighty army outside, but at this juncture, the only thing he could do was to maintain the dignity of a king.

He would welcome the Han army on his throne, and he would rebuke and curse the culprit who had caused the destruction of his country.

As for the illegitimate offspring of the Ches family, he would humiliate them and then die calmly in front of them, so as to maintain his kingly demeanor.

When he thought about how those evil bastards had gone through so much hardship to get here, only to end up watching him die heroically, a twisted sense of satisfaction emerged at the corners of An Siyan's mouth.

However, when a team of guards rushed into the hall first, An Siyan's fantasy was instantly shattered.

"Prime Minister? Why are you here?"

Unlike the other guards who were in a panic, the hundreds of soldiers around Udru had bloodshot eyes and revealed a hint of madness.

Almost instinctively, An Siyan concluded that these people definitely did not come here with a loyal heart to die with him.

As expected, Wudru stepped forward quickly and said sinisterly: "Your Majesty, the Han army is powerful. For the sake of the people of Cheshi, I have to make a difficult decision."

"You dare to betray me?! Come here - take him down!"

As soon as An Siyan finished speaking, Udru's personal soldiers obviously moved forward faster.

They raised the crossbows in their hands that had already been strung, and fired directly. The guards loyal to An Siyan immediately fell in a pool of blood one by one.

An Siyan raised the sword in his hand, took a step forward, and pointed the sword directly at Udru, wanting to kill the rebel personally.

An Siyan was born as a commander of the imperial guards, and his martial arts were well-known not only in Cheshi but also in the Western Regions.

And Udru was just a small soldier under his former command. Now that he fights desperately, won’t it be easy to capture him?

However, the result of the following battle surprised An Siyan.

More than ten years of life as a king seemed to have worn away his edge.

This former number one swordsman of the Cheshi Kingdom was held up by spears by three rebels before he could even touch the corner of Udru's clothes.

Wudru even took the opportunity to hit An Siyan hard with the butt of his knife, knocking him to the ground. "Traitor!"

"brute!"

"Udru! I have treated you well, yet you betrayed me and sought glory!"

“Isn’t it thin?”

Udru suddenly burst into a shrill laugh:

"My dear Majesty, how much blood debt have you made me bear for you over the years? Now that the Han army is here, do you want to die? It's not that easy!"

An Siyan's struggle suddenly stopped. He stared at Udru, his eyes filled with hatred:

"Do you think they will let you go if I hand you over to the Han army? Dream on!"

"Would you like me to help you recall what you have done?"

"The evil offspring of the Che Si family is back. The blood debt on your hands can never be washed away!"

"Take out his tongue!"

Udru shouted:
"This is a great gift we present to the Han army. We must not let his nonsense ruin our good deeds."

The bodyguards hurriedly tied An Siyan up like a dumpling, and then used a knife to cut off An Siyan's tongue amidst screams and curses.

The once majestic King of Cheshi was now dragged off the throne like an animal to be slaughtered, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

Wudlu straightened his clothes, put on a flattering smile, and walked quickly towards the palace gate. He wanted to personally present An Siyan to the Han army before they entered the palace to show his loyalty.

However, when he pushed open the door, the sight before him made his legs go weak.

Su Yao was standing majestically in the square in front of the palace. Behind him was the Han Iron Army lined up in neat formation. Ma Chao, Yan Xing and Zhao Yun, three cavalry generals, were standing on both sides, while the Alyssa sisters and Arozzo were standing in the front, and countless eyes were shot at Udru like sharp arrows.

"Great, great general!"

Udru fell to his knees with a thud, his forehead hitting the stone slab heavily:
"Your humble servant Wudru has captured the traitor An Siyan and has come to present him to you, General! The Cheshi Kingdom is willing to submit to the Han Dynasty forever and pay tribute every year!"

Su Yao glanced coldly at the bloody man An Siyan who was dragged out, and then his gaze fell back on Wu Delu: "Are you the Prime Minister of Cheshi?"

"Yes, it is your humble servant."

Udru's forehead was sweating but he still said flatteringly:

"This traitor saw that the situation was hopeless and tried to bite his tongue to commit suicide. I had to work very hard to save his life and handed him over to the general for punishment."

Bite your tongue and kill yourself?

This is indeed a bit insulting to people's intelligence.

As the king of a country, who has not been caught yet, there are countless ways for him to commit suicide. How could he choose to bite his tongue to commit suicide?

Almost in an instant, Su Yao could remember what had just happened in the palace.

Glancing behind him again at the Hu Ji sisters, who were trembling slightly and holding tightly onto the corners of his cloak, Su Yao snorted coldly:
"A minister who betrayed his master and committed many evil things, what's the point of keeping him?"

"what?!"

"General, I."

Before he finished speaking, there was a flash of cold light, and before Prime Minister Udru could open his mouth to argue, his head flew into the sky.

His head rolled on the ground for a few times and finally stopped at An Siyan's feet.

The king watched the traitor pay the price, trembling and emitting bursts of loud ghostly laughter. His face looked miserable, and it was hard to tell whether it was creepy or pitiful.

"Owner."

Sister Alice pulled Su Yao's clothes, and her body suddenly softened and fell into Su Yao's arms.

The elder sister Alyssa was much stronger. She pulled her brother Alozo and fell to her knees.

Once upon a time, they thought they would never have the chance to avenge their family and could only live the rest of their lives as slaves.

However, I never expected that fate would be so favorable to me.

Everything changed after meeting this young general.

Not only will no one insult or abuse him anymore, and he will live a life without worries about food and clothing, but he will also be able to get his revenge in just a few years.

These two people who seemed to have infinite power in the past and were the culprits of their nightmares were like powerless chickens in Su Yao's hands.
Su Yao sheathed his sword, pulled them up, gently hugged the two women, and then pulled A Luozu forward, facing the trembling Cheshi nobles:
"From now on, Cheshi will be changed into a county, A Luozuo will be the King of Cheshi, and the court will appoint a prime minister to take charge. Do you have any objections?"

Su Yao's voice was not loud, but it exploded like thunder in the hearts of the nobles.

The nobles of Cheshi looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, your Majesty!"

Arozo stood in front of everyone. The once timid boy now straightened his back.

He took a deep breath and spoke some ancient words in the slightly stiff Cheshi language.

Su Yao nodded with satisfaction and turned to An Siyan who was tied up: "As for this traitor."

“Master!” Alyssa suddenly stepped forward, with flames of hatred flashing in her eyes, “Please allow me to personally execute the murderer who killed my entire family!”

Su Yao looked into Alyssa's eyes, and after a brief pause, he handed her the sword: "Go."

Alyssa took the sword, her hands trembling slightly. She walked slowly towards An Siyan, and every step seemed to be stepping on the blood of memories.

An Siyan raised his head, his cloudy eyes filled with fear and despair.

He kept rubbing his feet on the ground, making some meaningless noises. Alyssa walked faster and faster, and with one last leap, she pressed forward, raised her sword and shouted:
"This sword is for my parents!"

The sharp sword blade instantly pierced into An Siyan's abdomen.

"This sword is for the late king and my aunt!" The second sword stabbed into the chest.

"This sword is for the innocent people who were harmed by you!" The third sword went straight for the throat.

After these three strikes, An Siyan fell in a pool of blood, twitched a few times and stopped moving. Alyssa let go of the hilt of the sword, and tears finally burst out of her eyes. Alice rushed forward and hugged her sister, and the two hugged and cried.

Su Yao patted Alyssa's shoulder gently: "The great revenge has been taken, and now it's time to rebuild your home."

"Thank you, thank you Master!"

Alyssa raised her head and looked into Su Yao's eyes with tears in her eyes. Then suddenly, she stretched out her arms, put her arms around Su Yao's neck, and gave him a passionate kiss in front of countless people.

The girl's lips were soft and warm, with the saltiness of tears, yet revealing resolute courage.

She stood on tiptoe, pressing almost all her weight on Su Yao, as if she wanted to pour all the grievances, gratitude, dependence, and even some inexplicable emotions that had accumulated over the past decade into this kiss.

The emotion of this kiss was so different that even though they had intimate physical contact countless times, Su Yao was still slightly stunned.

Su Yao felt the affection and trembling of the woman in his arms. After he came to his senses, he did not push her away. He just gently held her waist and let her vent her emotions.

Time flows quietly and the Palace Square is silent.

Obviously, this scene caught everyone off guard. Not only were the Cheshi nobles stunned, but Ma Chao, Yan Xing and others also stood there in a daze. Even Zhao Yun, who was always calm, couldn't help but cough lightly and turned his face away.

Sister Alice covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes showing both surprise and a hint of subtle envy.

After a long time, Alyssa let go of Su Yao, her cheeks flushed, but she still looked into his eyes stubbornly.

After a moment, Alyssa took the hand of her twin sister, and the two smiled at each other, then intertwined their fingers, looked up at Su Yao, and said in awkward Chinese:
"Master, thank heaven and Buddha for allowing us to meet you."

"Alyssa, from now on, everything we have will always belong to you."
