Chapter 1088: The Empress Dowager’s determination!

Dragon Capital city!

The battle generals stood in great numbers, their flags fluttering in the wind.

“Otherwise, when we attack the city, it will be the time for us to slaughter the entire city!”

As the commanding General’s voice fell …

The people on the wall were silent at first, then they burst into an uproar, but more of them were terrified.

Massacre the city!

The rebel army actually wanted to massacre the city!

One had to know that this was the capital Area of a large sect and an imperial dynasty. There were millions of people in the city. Once the city was massacred, millions of people would die.

Most importantly, including the Empress Dowager Yun Yi, as well as many ministers and important members of the Imperial court, were all present.

“Traitors, you bunch of traitors, you’ll die a horrible death!”

“Empress Dowager, don’t open the city. As officials, we have already handed over our lives to the country!”

“Yes, we would rather die than surrender!”

Many ministers and soldiers guarding the city shouted with all their might, their eyes filled with determination.

“Why don’t we open the city?”

“That’s right, that’s a city massacre. Once they’re angered, all of us will die …”

“Empress Dowager, we don’t want to die …”

Most of them began to beg for mercy in fear. Some even knelt down in front of Yun Yi. Some even rushed down the city wall, as if they wanted to surrender.

Throughout the entire process, Empress Dowager Yun Yi supported the little emperor by her side and watched the scene expressionlessly.

When she noticed the officials who were wailing, there was only sorrow and ridicule in her eyes.

This was because most of these people were those who had previously opposed ye Chen’s involvement in the matters of the great sects and dynasties.

Thinking of this, she slightly raised her eyes to look at the Army that covered the sky and the earth below the city. Her gaze fell on the messenger, and then she gently opened her red lips,””I can die, but the dignity of the royal family will never be lost!!!”

As soon as these words came out, the messenger below the city immediately sneered,””Do you want to drag the entire city down with you?”

The threat in his words was undisguisable, but it was mixed with a strong killing intent.

At the same time.

The Army outside the city shouted in unison!

That movement was like thunder!

It caused everyone’s expression to change.

“Wait …”

Gu Yifu suddenly roared and shouted in the substitute King’s direction,””Substitute King, your Highnesses, this official is willing to surrender, this official is willing to surrender!”

As soon as he said that, everyone looked at him in disbelief.

One had to know!

He, Gu Yifu, was the current Prime Minister!

Previously, he had given everyone the impression that he was extremely loyal and was seen as a role model by many ministers!

However, at this time of national crisis!

He was actually going to join the enemy?

Yun Yi’s delicate body trembled slightly.

“Gu Yifu, you’re shameless!” One of the ministers cursed.”Don’t forget that you’re the Prime Minister …”

“So what?“

Gu Yifu sneered.”I’ve already contributed enough to the country. Now, I just want to spend my old age in peace.”

At this point, his face was filled with pain.”Moreover, my son, Gu you, has already sacrificed his life for the country. He has already done his country a great favor!”

“Shameless!”

“This old man is truly shameless, hypocritical to the extreme!”

“……”

Many people pointed at him and started cursing.

Gu Yifu looked at Yun Yi and the little emperor and smiled disdainfully. Then, he jumped down from the city wall.

Although he was a civil official, he had also cultivated before. Even though his realm was not yet at the Grandmaster realm, this small city wall could not stop him at all.

“Hahaha!”

At this time, a wild laughter suddenly came from the Army outside the city,””Prime Minister Gu is willing to surrender, this Prince can not be more welcoming!”

Under everyone’s gaze, the Army slowly opened up a path. Then, a few people walked through the air, carrying a sedan chair.

As the palanquin landed on the ground, a dignified middle-aged man in a dragon robe slowly walked out.

“It’s the substitute King, this rebel!”

Someone exclaimed.

The crowd looked at the middle-aged man again, their eyes filled with shock and hatred.

It was this person who contacted the other seven vassal lords and started this internal war between the great sects and the Imperial dynasties.

Gu Yifu walked over with great respect and said in a flattering tone,””Thank you, Your Highness. No, thank you, Your Majesty. I will repay you with my life …”

After saying that, he stood behind the substitute King.

The substitute Prince looked up at the city wall again, his gaze focused on Yun Yi.””Empress Dowager, since things have come to this, why don’t we surrender? Even if it’s not for your own sake, you have to think about the countless people in the city, right?”

But Yun Yi merely glanced at him.

“Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!”

The substitute King’s face turned cold.”I’ll give you one more chance. As long as you’re willing to submit to me in advance, not only will I not kill you, but I’ll also reward you!”

As his voice fell!

People on the city wall jumped down one after another.”Your Highness, I’m willing to surrender!”

“And me …”

“……”

In just a few short breaths, a dozen civil officials had jumped down the city in front of so many people, changing sides at the last moment.

This scene made everyone extremely angry!

But more than that, he felt helpless!

Yun Yi raised her head, her slender hand slowly gripping the little emperor beside her, and then she smiled.””Jing ‘er, are you afraid of death?”

“Mother … I … I don’t want to die …” The little emperor was already in a daze. He trembled and his eyes were filled with fear.

“I know you don’t want to die.”

Yun Yi said softly,”but you’re the Emperor. You’re the ruler of a country. You’re the only descendant of the previous emperors. You’re the face of the royal family.”

“As the saying goes, the Emperor guards the country’s Gate, and the sovereign dies. You have the obligation to live and die with this city …”

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but every single word was heard by everyone around her.

“Empress Dowager …”

Many of the loyal and upright people were moved, while those who were afraid of death earlier were extremely ashamed.

“No, I don’t want to die …” The little emperor still shook his head.

Yun Yi smiled and gently picked up the little emperor. Then he looked around, a trace of determination in his cold eyes.

“People of the great sects, it is this widow’s incompetence that has caused the world to have such a disaster today!”

The next moment!

With the little emperor in his arms, he jumped directly to the top of the city wall, and then jumped down heavily, facing the ground.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked. They clearly did not expect her to make such a choice.

Even the Army outside the city was stunned.

“Empress Dowager, you can ‘t!”

The commander of the Imperial Army, MA yuanxun, took a step forward and his figure flashed. He grabbed Yun Yi’s skirt in midair.

The two people who were falling finally stopped.

“Empress Dowager!“

MA yuanxun grabbed the man with one hand and the city wall with the other. He groaned,””We still have hope, why do you have to do this!”

“Save them, quick, save them!“

He roared with all his might!

Only then did many people on the city wall react. Experts moved in succession and pulled the three people up.

“Empress Dowager!”

“Yes!” A general knelt down heavily.”Today, I am willing to live and die with this city. I hope you don’t look down on yourself!”
