The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

Yu Xiuyun suddenly turned pale. How could King Wei know that Yu Tingwan was in Yizhou?

"Just like you have spies in Chang'an, Gu also has spies in Jingyi." Before leaving, Pei Zhi passed Yu Xiuyun and said softly: "Gu has a gift for you."

For the past four or five days, Yu Xiuyun's eyelids were twitching in the study room.

"Master, Master! Something happened in Jinling."

A shadow guard came in, Yu Xiuyun frowned and said: "How can you be so flustered?"

The shadow guard's throat tightened, and he lowered his head and said, "The Governor of Jinling, Xu, brought up a corpse when Prince Liang was discussing matters."

"Corpse?" Yu Xiuyun suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Captain Xu said that was Shen Jiyuan." The shadow guard said in a heavy voice, "And he produced a lot of evidence, saying that the young master has sinned deeply and betrayed his master without virtue. The King of Liang has already told the world that if Jing Yi is still loyal to the young master, he will be harmed. The King of Liang is against him."

When Yu Xiuyun heard the last sentence, his eyes were scornful. Wasn't he just tearing his face? Prince Liang was so busy with himself that he still had time to provoke others.

"Anything else?" He calmed down.

"Half a month ago, the King of Liang sent a letter asking the young master for his plan to retreat from the enemy. Now, in order to calm the Shen family's anger, the King of Liang changed his commander before the battle, completely discarding the young master's plan."

Yu Xiuyun paused, raised his eyes and said, "Who has changed?"

"Wu Ben."

"Use him? King Liang is going to be finished." Yu Xiuyun pinched his eyebrows and suddenly felt a headache.

Although he hated King Liang, at least he could share the firepower for him. King Liang won the battle, which was also good for Jing Yi's morale.

"That's all. If there is any news from Jinling and Huaihe River in the past few days, please report it to me immediately."

After the shadow guard left, Yu Xiuyun thought of the "gift" Pei Zhi said that day and couldn't help but cursed despicably.

Everyone at that time was afraid of ghosts and gods when they dug up Shen Jiyuan's bones from the barren grave, so only the King of Wei dared to do such a thing.

The day before Xiangyang City was destroyed, several major noble families in Jingzhou sent people to test Yu Xiuyun's willingness to surrender.

He hadn't rested for several days and had a splitting headache. He sighed heavily and said, "Retreat to Jiangling."

The nobles were speechless and finally left with embarrassed expressions.

On the first day after retreating to Jiangling, the military situation along the Huaihe River came. Yu Xiuyun tried his best to hold Pei Zhi back, and also tried hard to get rid of the nobles who wanted to surrender.

"Sir, good news has come from Jinling."

After many days, there was finally good news. A smile appeared on his lips, "Wu Bi is actually still useful?"

"General Wu lured the enemy deep into Hezhou and killed Xiao Feng, the deputy general of the Wei army." Seeing Yu Xiuyun's smile fading, the shadow guard said bravely: "General Wu fortified the walls and cleared the country, and evacuated the people in advance. The Liang army was all in the city, and he took the opportunity to sneak attack the Wei army. , Xiao Feng blocked Fu Xun’s sword on behalf of his master, and his head fell to the ground on the spot.”

Yu Xiuyun waved his hand and signaled the shadow guard to go out. He slowly sat down on the table and was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood.

He only knew that Wu Ben was stupid, but he didn't expect that Wu Ben could use such a despicable method.

The reason why the King of Wei won the hearts of the people was because he would calm down the people's livelihood after conquering a city and encourage farmers to grow mulberry trees.

In troubled times, the most effective way is to kill everyone and scare the opponent. After the first chaos in the world a few decades ago, most of the princes who dominated one side massacred the city.

Fu Xun had wanted to use this method for a long time, but King Wei didn't know whether it was out of genuine mercy or for fame, so he kept pressing him.

This time, Wu Ben personally handed over the handle. Yu Xiuyun could imagine what it would be like for a strongman like Fu Xun who had a background as a bandit to be plotted against.

In addition, Xiao Feng was born in the Xiao family of Lanling, so the King of Wei would turn a blind eye to Fu Xun's revenge no matter what the reason was.

Yu Xiuyun stared at the military report and felt that it was God's will. If he had not faced Pei Zhi, he would not have lost so miserably.

When he thought of King Wei's lazy look because he was determined to get Yu Tingwan when he asked him for Yu Tingwan that day, he couldn't help but feel his chest stagnant and spit out a few more mouthfuls of blood.

"Do you need me to call the doctor for you?" Xie Xuan stood at the door awkwardly.

Yu Xiuyun looked down upon the spies sent by Pei Zhi. He squinted his eyes and said with a sinister look, "What are you doing here? Get out."

Normally, the daughter would have left long ago after being scolded like this, but Xie Xuan was not a thin-skinned person. After laughing twice, she sat down straight away.

"Now everyone in the world knows that Shen Jiyuan is you..." Xie Xuan hesitated and said, "You were the one who worshiped me that day."

"So am I considered a widow or Mrs. Yu now?"

Yu Xiuyun was stunned. Is this what she came to ask?

"This is very important to me." Xie Xuan's eyes were sincere. "If I am a widow, I can remarry. My sister has dated several young men for me in Chang'an. I think they are all pretty good..."

Her voice became lower and lower, and she slowly felt guilty.

Yu Xiuyun almost lost his breath, closed his eyes and said, "You have nothing to do with the Yu family, so there is no need to ask me these questions again."

Seeing his pale lips, Xie Xuan was afraid that he would be mad at her, so she quickly said: "Okay, okay, I understand, I'll leave now."

Before leaving, he didn't forget to pour a cup of hot water, carefully placed it in front of his eyes, and showed a flattering smile.

A few days later, news of Fu Xun's massacre reached Jingzhou, and those nobles broke through Yu Xiuyun's threshold.

"Master Yu, Fu Xun is massacring the city! What should we do? Can Jiangling really stop King Wei?"

Yu Xiuyun rubbed his forehead, his eyes were bloodshot.

"He only massacred Hezhou. Hezhou was full of Liang troops and no common people. Why are you panicking?"

After the Jingyi clan lost Princess Chengyang, three cities were massacred by the King of Liang. Que Wen's family did not exist at that time, so these clans had a heavy shadow of the word "city massacre".

The person who came to persuade Yu Xiuyun to surrender raised his voice and said with a trembling body: "But every time the King of Wei came to a city in Jiangdong, he forced the local prominent family members to move north and killed them if they refused. What is the difference between this and massacre of the city."

"Master Yu, for Yu Gongming's sake, we trust you, and you can't drag us into the pit of fire."

Yu Xiuyun couldn't bear it anymore, so he picked up the white jade paperweight and threw it at the man's feet. The torn paperweight scattered on the floor.

He had never been so angry in front of others. The lobbyists were frightened into silence and only muttered after leaving.

The next day, rumors spread all over Jiangling that King Wei had given orders to the army.

After the city is broken, in order to reward the soldiers, the gold and silver utensils of the nobles can be taken freely, but Yu Xiuyun's life is not to be taken.

Yu Xiuyun was so angry that it took time to spread rumors. Pei Zhi at least started to lay out the rumors after he knew that Xiao Feng was dead.

The nobles who followed him back to Jiangling came to him to ask for an explanation. The governor of Wuling County and the governor of Bajun County in Yizhou handed him the surrender form behind his back.

Morale collapsed, Yu Xiuyun could only open the city gate, and Pei Zhi met him at the Jiangling Mansion Office.

"Young Master Yu is a talented person, and he was able to block Gu Yueyu." Pei Zhi looked regretful, "It's a pity that you were dragged down by the rats who only know how to surrender. This shows that you are a capable minister, but you cannot be a master."

Yu Xiuyun was dressed in white and said nothing. His back was straight and his expression was cold.

Since he was already defeated by King Wei, he accepted whether he should be killed or beheaded.

"A good bird chooses a tree to roost in. Master Yu, why don't you return to Chang'an to assist Gu Gu and your future nephew? Your talents and learning will not be in vain."

Pei Zhi's voice was tolerant, with the alms of a winner, and his eyes were extremely sincere, as if he was thirsty for talents.

Yu Xiuyun's eyelids twitched when he heard the word "nephew", and he was filled with panic. He squeezed the corner of the table tightly and vomited blood again.

Although his body was weak, he had never vomited blood as frequently as he had recently.

"elder brother!"

A familiar voice came, and Yu Tingwan rushed to his side, her hairpins scattered and her eyes red.

As soon as her palm touched Yu Xiuyun, it was stained with scarlet blood. She looked at her brother's face as pale as paper, filled with tears, and turned to look at Pei Zhi.

"Did you give me poisonous wine?"

The calm smile on Pei Zhi's face finally froze, and his lips moved, "I said I wouldn't kill him, why don't you believe me?"
