Chapter 77: Going to the Battlefield Personally

The man picked up the child and followed behind Liyou and Anhui, dressed in rags. He didn’t ask where they were going, but he had already decided to hand over his fate to these two people. He also understood that the woman’s so-called act of buying was nothing but a temptation test. He did not know what would have happened if he actually agreed. But he felt that it was already very good, at least he could be with his child, no matter what the future held for them.

However, as they were trying to leave, they were obstructed. Many eyes had watched them come in and hadn’t shown themselves to see what would happen. But, they did not expect that these two people wanted to take away their toy, so how could they be willing?

“Hey, what are you two doing? Why are you taking people away?” The woman who spoke first was the woman who had buillied the man just now. She seemed to have quite a bit of influence here and there were four or five women standing behind her, treating her as if she was the head. And the way they looked at the man contained a thread of vulgarity.

The man’s expression changed, but he did not say anything, just looking at Liyou. At this moment, he felt that such things should be handed over to this woman to deal with.

“No reason, I just want to take people out, what can you do about it?” Liyou’s indifferent tone was quite infuriating, coupled with the way she did not take people seriously, it stimulated the other party even more.

“What an arrogant tone, I want to see if you have the ability to be so arrogant. Com on, beat me to death then.” Sure enough, the ringleader of the group lost her reason due to anger and rushed forward after greeting.

Liyou took two steps back and Anhui blocked in front of her. The person who rushed up was kicked back in the blink of an eye by Anhui.

Things had happened so fast that people watching the scene were a little dumbfounded, as if they did not understand how this person had been kicked back.

“Hey you, you, just who are you people?” The ringleader screamed and clutched his jaw that was aching from the kick. She was a little horrified to find that she seemed to have provoked people she should not have provoked. Although these people were like gangsters, they were still quite knowledgeable. When they saw Anhui’s superb martial prowess, they knew that Anhui was no ordinary person, but definitely a Jianghu master!

“Nothing to do with you.” Anhui was a very taciturn person in front of other people. If he could say a word less, he would never say a word more than needed.

Those women were frightened by Anhui’s cold attitude and shrank back a few steps, not daring to ask anything more.

Seeing that the women became submissive, Anhui walked behind Liyou, waiting for her order. Liyou glanced at the women, turned to the man who had been silent behind him and asked, “Did you remember these women?”

The man did not understand the meaning of Liyou’s words, but he still nodded. Of course he remembered, how could he forget the appearance of those who wantonly insulted him using his body.

“If one day you have the ability to take revenge, then they will just be lambs left for you to slaughter. It will be up to you whether you want to kill or cut.” The power of the word hatred was amazing. It could make a person less like himself and even make someone less human!

“Yes.” The man nodded. He understood what Liyou meant. As for whether he would have the ability to take revenge in the future, he did not want to think about it now. He was looking forward to the woman in front of him taking him away. Liyou took Anhui and left with the man and his child in tow, leaving behind countless guesses for what had occurred.

The figures of three adults and one child walking back attracted more attention. Liyou frowned and softly said to Anhui, “Take them back to the Anbu from here, I will walk around more by myself.”

Anhui hesitated for a moment, clearly worried for the Empress’ safety. But, seeing the Empress’ displeased expression, he immediately nodded and said: “Understood!”

Anhui left with the father-and-son duo and Liyou continued to walk through the streets alone. The garrisons amidst the chaos of war had a bit of chilliness. Generally, wars did not happen in the winter, but this war had broken out so urgently that it had caught up with the winter season. The dilapidated roof tiles and withered atmosphere dyed this war with a hazy gray veil. The smell of blood became a little desolate and at this moment, a horn sounded outside the city and the battle started up again….

Liyou felt that everything here could be regarded as a mere game and that war should be the same. However, ever since Feng Xue’s remarks last time, she had a touch of curiosity about war. Many years ago, she had stood on the ridge and watched two armies confront each other, the blood flowing like rivers. But, at that time, she only wondered why small humans would give their lives for such unimportant things. Now, she seemed to be able to understand that both she and humans have their own desires and existences they wanted to protect. That is why there were battles and wars in serious cases. Countless lives would disappear. She could no longer treat all of this as a game. These people had thoughts and feelings and they should not have to perish because of a game!

However, war was unavoidable. Although the Qianhe Dynasty was a large empire, occupying a vast area and rich in natural resources, it had domestic and external troubles, and it had been weak for a long time. If the root of the problem was not addressed, then the collapse of the Qianhe Empire would not be far in the future, but that was in the past. Now that she was the Empress, she would never let the empire collapse. From dealing with Situ Changqin, to changing the ministers, and then to this war, she had done many things willfully that could change the course and history of the Qianhe Dynasty. And such things would transform Qianhe from the inside out. Qianhe would struggle to become stronger and be reborn in the fires of war. It is just that such a transformation required the sacrifice of many people. She had once taken such a fact for granted. If you want to get something, you must sacrifice something. But now, looking at these people most closely affected by war, their lives were full of suffering and now they were struggling for food and clothing. There was nothing more traffic in life than this. People were no longer like people, their morals lost, their dignity lost, so what value would they have to exist?

Although Liyou hadn’t done anything to the people who had bullied the men in the refugee camp just now and she hadn’t said anything, she remembered that scene very deeply in her heart. People took advantage of other people’s virtuosity and there was no karmic retribution for evildoers. Not to mention in these troubled times, even in peaceful days, such events would not decrease in occurrence. This world was just as such and the world she used to live in was the same. Such a situation could never be eradicated. This was reality….

However, even if it could be completely eliminated, in such regression, there was both black and white. She believed that she was not good in the eyes of the world, but she also had her own principles. In this war, she would try to minimize casualties.

No more hesitation was left after she came to a decision. Liyou’s figure flashed and she appeared on the city wall in an instant. Jiang Hanyang was commanding soldiers to prepare to defend the city and Feng Xue was standing next to him. He immediately came over when he saw Liyou appear.

“Master the Sang Empire has begun to lay siege to the city.” Feng Xue’s expression was solemn and there was deep worry in his silver eyes.

“En, handed over the person to Jiang Hanyang?” Liyou asked suddenly, naturally asking about Sang Ziyan.

“Yes.”

“What did Jiang Hanyang do?”

“…..General Jiang just put Sang Ziyan under house arrest. Apart from the lack of freedom, the treatment is quite good. Feng Xue reported that Jiang Hanyang was really surprised after he sent the person away. After thinking for a long time, he let someone take Sang Ziyan and very cautiously told his subordinates to treat each other with courtesy.

Liyou nodded, agreeing with Jiang Hangyan’s approach. It seemed that Jiang hanyang was also considered a talent and quite open-minded in her life.

“This subordinate greets the Empress. Empress, the Sang Empire is laying siege to the city. It is very dangerous here, inviting the Empress to retreat to the rear!” When Jiang Hangyang heard his subordinates report that the Empress was coming, he rushed over immediately. The Empress safety was a matter related to national stability and there must be no mistakes.

“It’s okay, do not be nervous. Zhen is just here to watch the battle. Hoping that without Sang Ziyan, the Sang Empire’s army will no longer be your opponent.”

“Yes, this subordinate will not disappoint the Empress, but it is truly dangerous here….” Jiang Hanyang solemnly promised after hearing the Empress’s words. Without Sang Ziyan leading the troops, she was confident in her triumph! It was just that the Empress’ safety could not be ignored, but the Empress willfully wanted to, how could this be good?

Liyou waved her hand to interrupt Jiang Hangyang’s persuasions. Not only did she not retreat, but instead, she stood on the outermost side of the city wall. Standing here, she could see the army of the Sang Empire preparing their attack and she could see that large Sang ensignia on the flag held high above the troops. She was bound to see the fall of the flag and the destruction of the Sang Empire!

In the world, there was no permanent unity or permanent division. She did not want to dominate but give the world a short-term peace. At least, there will be no more annoying wars. Therefore, the word unification flashed in her mind, giving her an idea that would change the whole world!

The horn sounded again and the Sang Empire’s army charged towards the Yuling Pass, which was already somewhat destroyed but still standing. The Qianhe Empire’s army also began their onslaught. The soldiers guarding the city walls began to shoot arrows and catapult stones and the cruel siege battles of the cold weapon era began. Such a scene was performed in front of Qianhe Liyou’s eyes.

A quarter of an hour later, there were hundreds of corpses piled up outside the city walls of the Yuling Pass. Although the blood had not yet formed a river, it had already dyed the ground red and her emotions had become a little unstable due to the stimulating sight of blood. At this time, after arranging for the man, Anhui rushed over. He picked up speed after hearing the rallying horn, thinking that the Empress should have come to take a look at the city wall’s situation. Sure enough, he found her trace.

“Empress, what do you want to do?” Anhui always felt that the Empress’ expression seemed a little off, it wasn’t as deeply indifferent as usual.

“How about flying down?” Liyou said this in a very casual tone that made everyone around her terrified. Jiang Hangyang looked at Liyou as if she was looking at a lunatic…..
