The Ancient Martial Witch Arrives

Chapter 318 The Ending (2)
As Changhe led people to clear the road ahead, Lan Jiu followed Wu Xiang's body to the imperial palace. The imperial palace is the heart of Jianye City and the heart of Wu State. It stands to reason that this should be the place where the battle was the most tragic, but the fact is that On the contrary, there are very few traces of battles here. Outside Jianye City, the place where Wu Xiang died in battle is the most tragic place.

Moreover, Lan Jiu paid attention to the changes in the city along the way, and she did not find too many residents died in the war. Obviously, when the war started, the people in Jianye City had been transferred away, and only five people remained in Jianye City. Thousands of soldiers.

The palace has been ransacked, the originally luxuriously decorated palace has become dilapidated, and there are even many destroyed places, which must have been left by the soldiers of Western Shu, and Lan Jiu saw his two sisters in the main hall , Lan Fei and Lan Ling, they were lying naked on the ground, their bodies were bruised and purple, their wounds were criss-crossed, and they died in a very miserable state. It was obvious that they were insulted by the Western Shu Army during their lifetime.

And the careful Lan Jiu also found that there were many old wounds on the bodies of the two of them. It was obvious that they lived in a very embarrassing life in Xishu. As foreign women, they must have been abused in Xishu. Rough folk.These two people used to live a good life, but they were humiliated during their lifetimes, and finally they were tortured to death, which is what they deserved.

Let Changhe and others throw the bodies of these two people out of the palace. Lan Jiu put Wu Xiang's body on the throne. The coffin of the royal family had been prepared a long time ago. Lan Jiu was happy that Xiang's coffin was intact.In fact, when the Xishu army broke through the city and planned to wreak havoc, it was reprimanded by the king of Xishu. He wanted his soldiers to maintain respect for Wu Xiang, so he focused on protecting Wu Xiang's coffin.

The coffin had already been carried into the main hall, and when Lan Jiu led people to prepare for Wu Xiang's funeral, Changhe had already dispatched cavalry out of the city to notify the nearby residents and the nobles of Wu to come to the funeral.

The black sandalwood coffin, black elegiac couplets, white curtains, and white candles for the altar have all been prepared. The funeral of the emperor on the ancient Wu continent is not as complicated as it was in the feudal era, but it is beyond Lan Jiu's ability. The entire main hall was set up as a mourning hall.

As soon as the work in the main hall was finished, there was the sound of galloping war horses outside Jianye City. The roaring war horses rushed from outside Jianye City, all the way into the city and approached the imperial palace. There was a tremor below, and Changhe and the hundreds of knights in the main hall immediately raised their vigilance. The people who came to Jianye City at this time were probably the Xishu army.

The number of iron cavalry in Wu State is very small, so it is difficult to have such a strong formation. Listening to the sound of iron cavalry outside, at least tens of thousands of iron cavalry are coming to this side.

Chang He cursed in his heart, and quickly arranged for his soldiers to block the main entrance of the palace, then rushed to the throne, carried Wu Xiang's body on his back, and was about to drag Lan Jiu to escape through the back door.

It is impossible to fight in front of tens of thousands of Western Shu troops, so they can only retreat.Moreover, it is very difficult to escape from so many troops, but Changhe still carried Wu Xiang's body on his back, willing to carry this burden, which moved Lan Jiu.

"Maybe it's not the Xishu army!" Lan Jiu smiled gratefully at Changhe, ran to the gate of the main hall after speaking, jumped onto the tallest building and began to look around the city of Jianye.

Black cavalry poured in from the four gates in front of Jianye City like a tide, and the black tide filled the streets of the entire city, and they quickly came towards the imperial palace. The number of them must not be less than tens of thousands. Lan Jiu knew that it would be too difficult for Shu Jun to escape today.It's just that Lan Jiu saw the flags of these troops. They were not the Xishu army, but the Wu army!

There is a huge white wolf head embroidered on the black flag fluttering in the wind. This is the iconic flag of the Tanlangling Legion of Wu State. It is completely different from other armies, and it is also a unique flag in Wu.

"It's the Tanlangling Legion!" Lan Jiu was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted at Changhe in the palace.

Chang He has been carrying Wu Xiang's body without putting it down, and is ready to escape at any time. When Lan Jiu said that the outside is the Tanlangling Army, Chang He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and simply put Wu Xiang into the prepared coffin middle.

The sound of galloping cavalry became stronger. Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed into the imperial city at an extremely fast speed, submerging the entire imperial palace like a tide. Accompanied by his grandson, he rushed to the front and entered the palace first. He was Wu Yingnan, the ever-victorious general of Wu, and the former Marshal of Zhenbei Army.

After Wu Muhou entered the palace, he raised his head and glanced at Lan Jiu hastily, then jumped off his cavalry and staggered towards the main hall. His black battle armor was covered with dust, his snow-white hair was messy, and his battle robe There were still a lot of bloodstains hanging on the road. He led the army from Tanlangling, encountered a lot of Western Shu troops along the way, and fought bloody all the way to Jianye City, but he saw that Jianye City was broken. His heart was completely cold.

Emperor Wu... probably died in battle.Especially when Wu Muhou saw Lan Jiu standing in the palace, seeing Lan Jiu's sad face, he was even more sure that Wu Xiang was dead!
"Emperor Wu!" As Marquis Wu Mu rushed into the hall, an old and desperate roar rang out. The mournful roar pierced the sky, and even overwhelmed the sound of galloping horses outside the city.

This is the heart-piercing roar of the old Hou Ye, the ferocity and despair that have been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

A few days ago, Wu Muhou's family was driven away from the imperial city by Wu Xiang, and he sent heavy troops to escort the family to Tanlangling. Along the way, Wu Muhou vigilantly discovered the appearance of the Western Shu Army in the territory of Wu, but The person who escorted them was Wu Xiang's confidant and secret guard, so Wu Muhou was not allowed to escape, especially at that time, Wu Muhou's family was a prisoner of Wu State and had no freedom.Helpless, they didn't know until they were escorted to Tanlangling that Wu Xiang didn't want to punish him, but wanted him to take over the Western Army.

After these dark guards sent Wu Muhou's family to Tanlangling, they handed over the commander-in-chief of the Zhenxi Army to Wu Muhou.
