Looking at their tears, He Qiudi repeatedly emphasized that the soldiers of the Great Zhou should be the priority.

But this time, He Qingya saw two little girls in the alley holding their parents' bodies and crying miserably, begging others to save their brother. She hesitated and walked towards them.

When she got closer and tried to rescue her brother who was lying on the ground, suddenly, her sister pulled out a dagger from behind and stabbed He Qingya.

"People of the Great Zhou Dynasty, go to hell!"

He Qingya turned around unexpectedly, and just as the dagger was about to pierce her heart, she was caught by a big hand.

Chen Rongjing grabbed the blade of the dagger and slashed the long knife forward diagonally, cutting off the opponent's hand. Then he slashed horizontally with the blade of the short knife, cutting the opponent's artery.

My sister covered her neck and vomited blood.

My sister ran away.

Chen Rongjing stepped on the dagger that fell on the ground and kicked it hard. The dagger flew up diagonally and pierced his sister's heart.

My sister turned around to look at Chen Rongjing in disbelief, her eyes wide open, and fell backwards with her eyes open.

Chen Rongjing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He brought a dozen soldiers here to clean up the battlefield, but he saw that He Qingya actually felt pity for the civilians of Xichu.

When the sister attacked, he shot an arrow, but missed. As a last resort, he rushed over and caught the dagger for her with his hand.

He Qingya realized that she had made a mistake and had implicated Chen Rongjing. She couldn't help but say with guilt: "General Chen, I'm sorry. I implicated you. How is your hand? Let me check the wound and bandage it for you first."

Chen Rongjing originally wanted to accuse her of sympathizing with the people of Xichu, as this would hurt both herself and others.

But He Qingya's attitude of admitting her mistakes was exceptionally good. Besides, she was a girl, so he couldn't bring himself to condemn her. He could only open his hands and show her his wounds.

The wound was deep.

He Qingya quickly wiped him clean, applied medicine, and then wrapped him with gauze.

After that, he said, "General Chen, your wound is a little deep, I'm not sure. I'll give you some emergency treatment first, and in the evening, you can ask my aunt and the military doctor to take a look at you. My aunt said that the weather is hot now, so pay attention to the hygiene of the wound, don't remove the gauze randomly, and change the medicine twice a day."

"Okay, got it. I'll leave two people with you. You go find Miss Qiu Di. I still have to find the remaining soldiers of Xi Chu."

"Thank you. You saved me today, I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, just ask, as long as I can help."

"Saving you is what I should do, you don't have to take it to heart."

After saying that, Chen Rongjing waved his spear and left with his subordinates.

He Qingya looked at his back and didn't speak for a long time.

I never heard of him in my previous life. I'm afraid he died for his country when Lan County and Ningyuan County were captured.

very nice.

My sister-in-law saved it all.

All the soldiers and civilians of Western Chu were soldiers. Feng Shiyan and his men advanced slowly, and by evening, they had cleared the east city of the outer city.

There are still the Inner City and the Imperial City to fight for.

In the evening, they rested on the spot.

He Qingya was concerned about Chen Rongjing's wound, so she went to find him. However, he had forgotten her instructions and when he was cleaning the battlefield, he swung the gun with both hands, causing the gauze bandaging the wound to fall off. The edge of the wound had begun to turn white, showing signs of infection.

He Qingya complained for a while, cleaned his wound, applied medicine and bandaged it.

After finishing.

She curled her lips and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will come again to change your dressing. I will also come tomorrow evening. If you dare to fool me, I will tell my aunt to have His Highness order you to recuperate and not participate in the battle again."

Chen Rongjing said helplessly: "It's just a minor injury."

"What minor injury? My aunt said that any external injury should be taken seriously. Otherwise, it will cause infection, which can cause fever at the mildest and amputation at the worst. Your palm is injured. If it gets infected, it will require bone removal for treatment. Wouldn't that affect your ability to hold a gun in the future? I feel bad for causing you trouble, but if it prevents you from holding a gun, I will die. Please don't make me feel guilty for the rest of my life."

Chen Rongjing's smile became even more helpless.

"Miss Qingya, how can it be as serious as you say?"

"It is that serious. So, please don't make me feel guilty for the rest of my life. I don't want to worry about you for the rest of my life because of your injury."

After saying this, He Qingya finally realized that she had said it wrong.

Then he lowered his head and walked away embarrassedly.

Chen Rongjing looked at her back and murmured, "For a lifetime..."

Withdrawing his gaze, he clenched his hands again, and finally put them down, his eyes flashing with an obscure light.

the following few days.

They were all clearing the outer city of the capital of Western Chu.

The city is broken.

Some people ran away.

They allowed those people who did not resist and only wanted to escape to pass, but they were not allowed to carry much silver and money in their luggage. They were only allowed to carry a small amount of silver and money, enough food, and some clothes for changing, and then take a pass to the cities occupied by the Great Zhou to settle down.

The people who did not want to escape or resist hung white flags at home, obeyed the arrangements, left their property behind, took a small amount of money and food, and settled down in the city controlled by the Great Zhou army.

You can't take money away in large quantities.

Controlling the situation and not massacring the city or insulting women is the limit of what He Qiudi and Feng Shiyan can do.

It took three days to settle the outer city, and it would be much faster to attack the inner city.

The inner city was inhabited by wealthy people who valued their lives even more. Seeing that the outer city was under control and the inner city was breached, Feng Shiyan and his men took control of the inner city in just one day.

At Feng Shiyan's request, the soldiers of the Great Zhou spared those who surrendered in the inner city, arrested wealthy nobles and important officials, and did not take the initiative to burn down important buildings.

Many royal relatives and officials of Western Chu were unwilling to surrender. Some committed suicide, while others were killed.

The royal family of Western Chu saw that the situation was hopeless.

He set fire to the palace himself.

The palace was about to be destroyed.

Feng Shiyan and his men didn't even have dinner before they charged into the imperial city of Western Chu.

He Qiudi acted decisively and chose to make it rain to help put out the fire and save the buildings and treasures of the Western Chu royal family.

The palace was in chaos.

By dawn, the chaos was under control.

The emperor and empress of Western Chu committed suicide to preserve their last bit of dignity. After confirming their identities, Feng Shiyan ordered people to collect their bodies and bury them in their imperial tombs on a chosen day to preserve their dignity as emperor and empress.

Feng Shiyan did not make things difficult for the rest of the royal family. He asked Chen Rongjing to find someone to control them and then take them to the capital of the Great Zhou as captives.

The palace was taken control.

It marked the end of Western Chu.

The people of Western Chu never imagined that by seizing the spoils of war from the Western Rong, they would take advantage of the complicated relationships within the Great Zhou to instigate civil strife among them, and take the opportunity to unite with the Northern Di, Eastern Qi and Eastern Yi to take advantage of the situation, only to end up losing themselves.

The fire in the palace was brought under control, and Feng Shiyan and his men temporarily lived in the palace, preparing to issue a series of policies to control the capital of Western Chu and even the entire Western Chu.
