Chapter 476 A King Should Die for His Country
Tiele sat cross-legged on the city wall, listening to Duanmu Miaomiao recount the events that had occurred outside in the past few days.

When he heard that An Xuan had already sided with Li Dachui,
He was first taken aback, then shook his head, and finally burst into laughter.

No wonder!
No wonder that happened!

My brother and I had painstakingly planned this, thinking it was a very secretive scheme, but we never expected that the seemingly sealed iron pot actually had a large hole in the bottom.

While Li Dachui and Xiao Changche were gloating over how they had fooled Zhou Yi, they must have been laughing so hard they couldn't sleep!
I just can't figure it out. When did An Xuan, such a barbarian, get in touch with Li Dachui and his group?

What did Li Dachui use to win him over?

They really hid it well!
At the most critical moment, he delivered a fatal blow to the vital points of Da Yuan's heart.

“And that Shaliewen, he surrendered to the Beiting Protectorate long ago!” Duanmu Miaomiao shook her head and said, “He must have been turned against us after he was captured in Yuan’an. In the end, Jebe and Yeli’s army was embroiled in a chaotic battle in Yandu and couldn’t even retreat, all because of Shaliewen’s arrangements. However, he didn’t have the ability to do these things. The Beiting Protectorate must have made a plan in advance, and he was just following the plan!”

Tiele hung his head and remained silent.

"Come with me!" Duanmu Miaomiao said, "I promised the princess that I would take you back safely."

Tiele looked at Duanmu Miaomiao: "Granny, can you take tens of thousands of people from this city with you?"

Duanmu Miaomiao shook her head and said, "Your nanny isn't a god, how could she be? To tell you the truth, I've been around here the whole time, but Chang Jian is like a leech, always sticking to my side."

"Would Chang Jian let you take me away?"

"Yes!" Duanmu Miaomiao said, "If I only take you two, he won't stop me. He said that this is also Xiao Changche's idea, after all, they don't want to hurt Princess Changle. But the others here will have no choice but to lay down their weapons and surrender!"

Tiele sighed, "Thank you for your trouble, Granny. I won't leave!"

“You’re no use staying here!” Duanmu Miaomiao said, “In a few days, the Beiting Protectorate will mobilize more troops, and even if we don’t fight, your food supplies are almost gone, aren’t they? Even if you’re trapped, they can starve you to death! Tiele, if you lose, just admit defeat. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.”

"Granny, I didn't just lose, I became the king of a fallen kingdom!" Tiele said with a bitter smile, "To be honest, it's all my fault. I was too clever for my own good, thinking that I still had a chance to fight back, thinking that I had found a good opportunity, but little did I know that all of this was in someone else's calculation. They dug a trap, but I thought I had succeeded and jumped in happily."

"Your plan is not bad, it's just that Li Dachui is too insidious!"

Tiele sighed, "He was not only more skilled, but he also planned every move carefully. He even calculated my every move, and in the end, he made us kill each other. He won everything without lifting a finger. What can I say but admire him?"

"Tiele, if we lose, we'll admit defeat. We can still live a good life even if we don't become this worthless emperor!" Duanmu Miaomiao said, "Look at me, aren't I also a member of the Dayong royal family?"

“Granny, I am not the same as you. When you were born, the Great Yong Dynasty had already been gone for hundreds of years!” Tiele said, “The Great Yuan Dynasty died at my hands. What face do I have to live? I have no other way to go but to die to atone for my sins!”

"Nonsense!" Duanmu Miaomiao retorted angrily, "Don't you think about your mother? Don't you think about your little Yu'er?"

At this point, Duanmu Miaomiao glanced at Dayuer behind Tiele and said angrily, "Are you mute? What's the use of crying? Don't you know how to comfort your man?"

Da Yu'er shook her head, crying, but remained silent. "My mother is a princess of Qin, she's seen it all!" Tiele laughed. "Besides, I have nothing to worry about. Even if Li Dachui wins, he'll still have to take care of my mother. With her mother looking after her, and being a girl, and with both Li Dachui and Xiao Changche being proud, they'll definitely take good care of her. If Li Dachui really marches into the pass and becomes the emperor of Qin, Da Yu'er might even become a princess of Qin! Haha, not bad, not bad!"

"As long as I'm here, you won't die!" Duanmu Miaomiao said coldly. "I promised your mother that I would bring you back alive."

"A king should die for his country!" Tiele slowly stood up and said firmly, "Granny, I know your abilities, but no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can't save someone whose heart is already dead."

"Tiele!"

"Granny, are you really going to take me back so that my mother and Xiaoyu'er can witness my death?" Tiele asked.

"Why must I die? Can't I live?" Duanmu Miaomiao said angrily.

“The heart is dead. What’s the point of living like a walking corpse?” Tiele smiled, then suddenly knelt down in front of Duanmu Miaomiao, touching his forehead to the ground and kowtowing several times.

"Tiele, what are you doing?"

"Granny, I entrust my mother's future to you!" After saying this, Tiele stood up and walked inside with a somewhat dejected expression. Dayuer also bowed deeply to Duanmu Miaomiao and then followed closely behind Tiele.

Duanmu Miaomiao stared blankly at the two figures as they walked away, without chasing after them. She knew that it would be pointless to catch up.

As Tiele said, there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

A gentle breeze blew behind her. Duanmu Miaomiao turned around and saw Chang Jian leap onto the city wall, sit on the battlements, and look at her, saying, "How about it? It's no use telling you, is it? The Tiele are such proud people. They would rather die than accept defeat, especially such a complete defeat."

Duanmu Miaomiao looked at Chang Jian, her willow-leaf eyebrows slowly rising.

"Hey, what do you want to do?" Chang Jianyi stood up straight. "Duanmu, are you out of your mind?!"

Before he could finish speaking, Duanmu Miaomiao pounced over. Seeing Duanmu Miaomiao's naked body turn into a ruby ​​red in an instant, Chang Jian was slightly startled, but he was not afraid at all. He clenched his fists and went to meet her.

"You're having another fit of madness? Fine, I'll play along!"

A series of loud bangs echoed, and the entire city of Qinglongxia seemed to tremble.

Two innate masters fought from the city wall to the city wall, and then continued their battle from the city wall all the way to the distance.

Back in the mansion in the city, Tiele held Dayuer's hand tightly: "Do you really want to come with me?"

"Since we are husband and wife, we should share the same bed in life and the same grave in death!" Da Yu'er said.

"Alright!" Tiele nodded with a smile. "Let me make arrangements for the brothers who have followed me for many years in the city before we set off again."
