Chapter 190 The second girl of the Liu family wants to defend the city
Although Mrs. Gu felt that her son had made her look good, she did not dare to agree.
"I'll ask when Shaoyu comes back, but I can't guarantee it. You also know that not only the Linshi Collection Museum, but also the Haicheng Collection Museum is also in contact with the studio. They want to do some research on traditional crafts of the Tang and Song Dynasties next year."
However, this is all a story for another day.
Shen You finished her work in the studio, packed her things, and prepared to go home early.
There is still something going on over there in the Daqi plane.
——
At this time, Daqi Northland.
Just like the cold weather.
Liu Yunyan rode the fastest horse in the caravan and traveled day and night to finally reach Shuozhou City.
It's half a day earlier than scheduled.
Along the way, I didn't know what was going on, but I couldn't calm down. I had an indescribable panic and a bad premonition.
Especially yesterday afternoon.
After pondering carefully for a long time, I didn't know what the problem was. I didn't encounter any more attacks from foreigners on the road. It can be said that everything was calm.
But she just felt uncomfortable.
I can only hurry up and hurry up, as if doing so can ease my mood.
After returning to a familiar place and entering the city, the dull and panicky feeling became stronger.
"Second Miss, you are back!"
Less than a hundred meters away from home, a young general in the city recognized Liu Yunyan.
"Did something happen?" Liu Yunyan looked at the hesitant and sad expression on the young general's face. He suddenly realized something and turned pale.
"It's my dad? What happened to him?!"
"Master Liu"
The young general lowered his head and couldn't tell. He simply couldn't believe that Mr. Liu had collaborated with the enemy and betrayed his country, and committed suicide out of fear of crime.
Mingming led everyone to defend Shuozhou City to the death a few days ago.
Liu Yunyan could no longer bear her temper, so she bypassed him, mounted her horse and rushed forward. When she arrived at the door of her house, she stared blankly at the white lanterns and white cloth hanging in front of the door.
Finally I knew why I felt that uncomfortable feeling on the road.
The people in the city looked at her with complicated and angry eyes.
“I didn’t expect that it was Vice General Liu who collaborated with the enemy!”
"He said that as long as he is alive, he will definitely defend Shuozhou and protect our safety, but secretly he colludes with foreigners! How can he have the face to hang up white cloth in the city and create such a big show!"
Liu Yunyan took a deep breath, clenched his fingers into fists, said nothing, and just walked towards the door.
Looking at the coffin parked in the middle, she rushed up and looked at her father's closed eyes and pale face, and hot tears fell from her eyes.
Earlier, when the news reached the capital, she and her grandmother had a premonition, and her grandmother worshiped at the Buddha's head for several days.
Later, Shuozhou City was defended, and she thought the situation would be fine.
But he never expected that he would see such a scene when he came back, let alone that his father was lying here on charges of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
"Second Miss, why are you back!" Liu Shou's confidant who has been with Liu Shou for half his life was helpless and anxious,
"Quick, get out of the city now! There will be chaos soon"
"Uncle Zhou, it's impossible for my father to be a collaborator." Liu Yunyan raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face.
Uncle Zhou said sadly, "We all believe that adults would not do such a thing."
But what's the use if they don't believe it? Xiao Yunpeng has brought out the evidence. The most important thing now is to save the second lady!
"Stop talking and leave quickly. We can still guard your father's mourning hall with our old bones." "Since I'm back, I have to defend the city."
Liu Yunyan knelt down with red eyes, kowtowed three times, pulled off the white linen clothes and put them on himself.
"You kid, why don't you listen to my advice?" Uncle Zhou wiped his tears anxiously.
"My father's body should be returned to his hometown with honor and buried with military honors, instead of remaining in the North as a criminal who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country!"
Liu Yunyan looked forward and spoke firmly.
At this time, someone hurried in from behind and reported, "It's not good, the foreigners are gathering to attack the city."
The terrain of the border pass in Beidi is dangerous, and the gate leading out of Shuozhou is built in the middle of tall mountains and rivers, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
But if foreigners break through this gate, the city behind will be in danger.
It turned out that it was Liu Shou who had been in a stalemate with the foreigners for so long, but the other party never captured them.
Now that he knew Liu Shou was dead, he couldn't hold back immediately, not to mention there was a real insider in the city.
The lives of so many people were sacrificed just to help people in the capital seize power.
"You heard me too, your father has passed away, nothing can happen to you again." Uncle Zhou was still trying to persuade him.
The next moment, he put away the expression on his face and looked at the person defensively.
It was Xiao Yunpeng. He showed his usual gestures and said with concern,
"Yunyan is back. Hey, your father's matter is his fault. It has nothing to do with you. Don't worry. Although Lieutenant General Liu is guilty, he has done a good job in defending the city. I will also find a way to deal with it so that this matter will not be implicated. You.”
Liu Yunyan's eyes were red and his tone was calm, "The foreigners are about to attack. Uncle Xiao, how are you prepared?"
"Of course I want to defend Shuozhou, but now, the soldiers are injured and dead. They have no medicine, no supplies to keep out the cold, and even the firewood for the fire is gone."
Although he came for a showdown, Xiao Yunpeng didn't say anything.
Later, when the sky is getting dark, the foreigners holding the defense map will make a surprise attack.
He had to defend, but he had no choice. He couldn't see anything clearly in the wind and snow, and he was really helpless. He could only save his troops and find a way to join the reinforcements and fight back.
The main blame lies with Liu Shou, who leaked the defense plan.
Someone took the blame, and this person died, and Liu Shou and other confidants died in Shuozhou City.
It's not up to him to say anything.
"So you want to abandon the city and flee?" Liu Yunyan knelt in front of Liu Shouling, clenching his fingers so hard that his phalanges turned white.
Xiao Yunpeng's face darkened a bit, and just as he was about to retort righteously, Liu Yunyan spoke again,
"You intend to let me into the city, don't you want me to admit my father's crime of collaborating with the enemy."
If the daughter admits it, the dirty water on her father's body will never be washed away.
"Yunyan, I know it's hard for you to accept what your father did, and I didn't believe it at first." Xiao Yunpeng looked at the mourning hall with a sigh as if he was very disappointed.
"Aren't you the collaborator? General Xiao, you know better than anyone how innocent my father is."
Liu Yunyan stood up and looked directly at Xiao Yunpeng, "You said that my father is a traitor to the country, but I deny it. You are greedy for life and fear death and want to abandon the city. Then I will defend Shuozhou City!"
Xiao Yunpeng heard this and shook his head with a smile, his eyes full of contempt and sarcasm.
"Your father has just died. If you say these things, I won't argue with you. I'll just treat it like a little girl losing her temper.
Are you here to defend the city? Yun Yan, although you grew up in the north and have fought in battles and killed enemies, you are just a woman and have no official rank. Why do you give orders to the soldiers in the city? ”
Just like her father, he doesn't know how to adapt, can't see the situation clearly, and seeks death.
When Liu Shou was here before, she was still a striker. What is she now?
"You said I collaborated with the enemy. Where is the evidence? There is no evidence. Don't say such nonsense again in the future."
Liu Yunyan said word for word, "How do you know? I can't find any evidence."
