After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power
Chapter 258 Confrontation
In Lin'an City, the imperial court's army of more than 300,000 and the Yan army of more than 200,000 were confronting each other.
The people were in a state of panic, fearing that a war would break out and they would be displaced and homeless.
Once Lin'an City falls, the Yan army will be able to march straight into the capital.
So the two armies confronted each other and the battle was stalemate.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army and the people, Xiao Linfeng, who had just ascended the throne, personally led his troops to Lin'an.
It was a clear day. Xiao Linfeng went up to the city gate in armor and sent someone to make a call, asking to see Helian Mu.
Helian Mu soon appeared outside the city gate with a large army, pointing at him and cursing, "You traitor, you usurped the throne and killed the king, you deserve to be struck by lightning and die a miserable death, and be cursed by everyone!"
Xiao Linfeng stood on the tower, looking down at him, not angered at all. Instead, he sneered, "Then let everyone see how filial our Prince Yu, who always talks about benevolence and righteousness, is."
He waved his hand and Xiao Wuji came up with the empress dowager who was tied up, followed by Qiao Zhiwan's parents and two brothers.
The general defending the city shouted with full force, "Retreat within three days, or I will kill you without mercy!"
Helian Mu gnashed his teeth in hatred, "Xiao Linfeng, you are shameless!"
"Do you want the throne or your family? Prince Yu, you have to think carefully." Xiao Linfeng said calmly, "You have three days to think about it."
This matter spread quickly, and all parties were paying close attention to what Helian Mu would choose.
The moment Qiao Zhiwan received the news, her eyes went dark and she almost fainted. The maid supported her and said, "Princess, you must hold on. The master and his wife are still waiting for you to save them!"
Not only that, her eldest and second sisters-in-law were deliberately released from the city by Xiao Linfeng. The two of them, with their young children, knelt directly outside the mansion where she was temporarily staying.
Seeing her coming out, the two of them brought their children to kowtow to her, "Wanwan, you can't just stand by and watch her die. Our family has done nothing wrong to you over the years."
Qiao Zhiwan quickly helped them up, "Sister-in-law, I will do my best."
After bringing his two sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces in and settling them down, Qiao Zhiwan went to the study with red and swollen eyes.
She knelt down outside the door with a bang, "Please, Your Majesty, save my parents and my brother."
Helian Mu came out with a gloomy face and helped her up, "Wanwan, we should consider this matter carefully."
He took her into the study and said with a headache, "We can't retreat, otherwise our efforts will fail."
She burst into tears and said excitedly, "Are you going to watch the Queen Mother and my parents being killed?"
The staff member beside him stroked his beard and said, "Princess, please be patient. This is a trap set by Xiao Linfeng. You must not fall into it."
In fact, no matter what choice Helian Mu made, he would not get any good results. But it was impossible to withdraw the troops, so they sent several waves of people to rescue the Queen Mother and the Qiao family, but they all returned empty-handed.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Helian Mu's army had no intention of retreating and began to challenge the enemy early in the morning.
Qiao Zhiwan's eldest sister-in-law Ersou led her children, dressed in mourning clothes and looking haggard, and begged, "Your Highness, please let us send them off for the last time. It is their honor to die for Your Highness's great cause and for world peace!"
These words sound nice. One of them came from a scholarly family and the other was a descendant of a general. After their grief, they quickly accepted the fact and looked resolute.
Compared to crying and whining, such righteousness and clear-sightedness will make people look up to him. Helian Mu even promised, "When I succeed in my great cause, I will not treat the Qiao family unfairly."
In his opinion, the two of them still had a child, which meant there was still hope. The two of them did say tactfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Helian Mu brought them to the city gate and looked up to see the Queen Mother, Qiao's father and mother, and the two brothers of the Qiao family were all tied to the city wall.
"father!"
"Grandfather grandmother…"
The shrill cries of the children made people feel sad.
Xiao Linfeng stood on the tower and asked calmly, "Have you decided what to choose?"
Helian Mu cursed, "If you dare to torture and kill the Queen Mother, you will be despised by the world and nailed to the pillar of shame forever."
"It seems that you have made your choice."
Xiao Linfeng said calmly, "Kill!"
The soldier guarding the eldest brother of the Qiao family raised his sword and slashed off a head, which fell straight from the city wall.
The scene was bloody, and the eldest sister-in-law of the Qiao family reached out to cover her daughter's eyes. Qiao Xue took her mother's hand away and stared at the scene with wide eyes.
She will remember it forever!
"Are you going to retreat or not?"
No one responded, Xiao Linfeng continued, "Kill!"
The second brother of the Qiao family was beheaded and his bloody head fell from the sky.
Qiao Zhiwan couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears.
"Big brother... Second brother..."
Xiao Linfeng seemed like a demon from hell, and continued to ask coldly, "Are you going to retreat or not?"
Helian Mu roared, "You are just a bastard, I am the royal bloodline, why should I retreat!"
"Okay, you have a temper!" Xiao Linfeng sneered, "Kill!"
He wanted the scene on the city gate today to become his nightmare. He wanted to destroy his psychological defenses bit by bit. He wanted him to be abandoned by his friends and relatives and he wanted him to experience the feeling of being alone.
He knows best how to completely destroy a person without being noticed.
"Dad...Mom..."
Qiao Zhiwan staggered and ran towards the city gate regardless of anything. Helian Mu dismounted and chased after her, holding her tightly in his arms.
She fell to the ground helplessly, watching her loving parents being beheaded, with blood and heads falling from the sky.
She couldn't bear such stimulation and almost went crazy.
"Mom and Dad, it was Wanwan who was disobedient. It was Wanwan who was wrong..."
"I shouldn't have married him regardless of the consequences. I've ruined my whole family."
"Wanwan was wrong. Wanwan will be obedient from now on. Can you guys come back..."
She looked crazy, and struggled to crawl over to pick up the head on the ground, but Helian Mu held her tightly, "Wanwan, calm down!"
Qiao Zhiwan looked at him with hatred in her eyes, "Helian Mu, I was wrong. I regret marrying you."
She fell in love at first sight, and ignored her family's advice and used all means to snatch the man away, almost bringing ruin to the entire Qiao family.
Retribution... This is all her retribution...
"I hate you!"
Qiao Zhiwan couldn't bear it anymore and fainted in his arms.
Xiao Linfeng watched coldly, feeling happy. This was what the royal family owed him, and all his misfortunes were due to his background.
He personally put the knife to the Queen Mother's neck and said, "I'll ask you one last time, will you withdraw your troops?"
Helian Mu hugged Qiao Zhiwan and said in grief, "Xiao Linfeng, you will not die well!"
Xiao Linfeng said sarcastically, "Helian Mu, you are nothing more than that. Stop pretending to be so righteous. You are just an ambitious loser who doesn't care about your relatives."
After saying that, he didn't waste any more words and chopped off the empress dowager's head with a single clean stroke.
Looking at the heads rolling down, Helian Mu was kneeling there, stunned by the impact.
The Qiao family's eldest sister-in-law said, "Xue'er, you must remember this day. The revenge of exterminating your family must not be forgotten."
The fifteen-year-old girl, with red eyes and full of determination, said, "Mom, I will never forget it."
