Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 315: Liu Hong shoots Fan Ruoruo with an arrow, and the Second Prince strikes back

Liu Hong stood there quietly without saying anything to comfort her.

That's what war is, just peasants' sons killing each other.

Wang Qinian was in a state of panic all day long, sweat kept pouring out of his forehead, and he swallowed hard.

"Master Xiao Fan, I'm afraid that Kyoto can't be defended. Make sure you have a plan for everything."

The so-called foolproof plan is to obey Emperor Qing's orders.

If Kyoto could not be defended, even if a fire burned the century-old Kyoto to the ground, it would not add any strength to Liu Hong.

Doesn’t Emperor Qing understand human nature?
On the contrary, he understood it too well! He knew that what he had done over the years could not win the hearts of the people.

Then just squeeze these people to the limit and leave Liu Hong with a mess.

Isn’t Liu Hong known for his generosity and kindness?
Then throw these ragged people to him.

Seeing that Liu Hong chose to abandon them and watch these people die, he conquered the entire Qing Kingdom.

Or he would rather forcefully drag on with this mess and weaken his already insufficient strength.

Liu Hong also admitted that the national debt started by Fan Xian was further developed by Emperor Qing.

This action really disgusted him.

This made Nanqing, which had a deficit in its treasury, suddenly become a fat man.

Fan Xian's body was staggering, and he looked outside Kyoto, tears streaming down his face.

Behind is the Fan family, the hometown where our elders have lived for decades.

The people of Danzhou have already lost their hearts, is Kyoto going to be lost too?
Fan Ruoruo held Liu Ying in her arms and walked calmly to the city wall, supported by a group of Fan family guards.

The corpses and blood on the city wall no longer caused the slightest ripple in Fan Ruoruo's heart.

Fan Xian seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He spoke in a low voice with an expression of great pain.

"Ruoruo, I'm sorry, I really can't help it!"

Fan Ruoruo looked at Fan Xian gently. This brother had always been helping her, and now it was her turn to help Fan Xian.

His eyes were gentle and he spoke softly.

"It's okay, brother, I understand!"

Fan Xian's body trembled. He grabbed Fan Ruoruo, put the sword against Fan Ruoruo's throat, and roared towards the outside of the city.

"Liu Hong, do you really not care about your legal wife Fan Ruoruo?"

"Fan Ruoruo doesn't care, but what about the eldest son Liu Ying? They are both in my hands now."

"If you force your way into the city again, don't blame me for being rude!"

The sounds of fighting during the siege suddenly became silent.

A glimmer of hope ignited in the eyes of the soldiers defending the city, while Liu Hong's soldiers fell into panic.

The Duke of Pei is in poor health, and now his wife Fan Ruoruo and eldest son Liu Ying are in the hands of Fan Xian.

If these two people were gone, what would be the point of everything Pei Gong did?

Everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Hong.

Liu Hong looked calm and composed, and even picked his ears.

"That's it, is that all?"

Fan Xian gritted his teeth and swung his sword with more force, leaving a bloody mark on Fan Ruoruo's neck.

He stared at Liu Hong and scolded him harshly.

"Do you think I don't dare?"

Liu Hong was slow and measured, and couldn't help but pick his ears, looking unusually calm.

"It's up to you. Maybe my abandoning my wife and children will make the world despise me, but if you kill your sister and nephew, your reputation as a literary master will also be ruined."

"Anyway, I feel much better knowing that you are sharing the blame with me."

These shameless words calmed the noisy entire battlefield down to complete silence.

The soldiers on both sides looked at each other, feeling that what Liu Hong said made sense, but what was wrong?
Tears welled up in Fan Ruoruo's eyes and her voice was mournful and shrill.

"My dear, is there really no affection between you and me? Do you really not regard Liu Ying as your child?"

Zhang Liang held the carriage tightly, his fingers turning white, and looked at Liu Hong pleadingly.

Fan Xian threatened both Fan Ruoruo and Liu Ying.

Obviously, he has run out of tricks and is only one step away from conquering Kyoto. Will he emerge from the abyss and establish a kingdom? Or will he be too soft-hearted and become a dragon that stirs up a storm?

Now it’s up to Liu Hong.

Han Xin didn't dare to give any more orders.

Although the concubine Sang Wen is pregnant, we don’t know whether it is a boy or a girl!
What if Liu Hong still has fantasies about Fan Ruoruo and Liu Ying?

Liu Hong was silent for a while, then spoke softly, his voice reaching every corner.

For the first time, he no longer concealed all his true energy.

Shadow lost his voice, and the assassination methods that he had prepared these days were now completely dissipated.

"Ninth rank?"

Liu Hong ignored the shadow and looked at Fan Ruoruo's beautiful figure, feeling a little emotional.

"Ruoruo, I've given you many chances, but you've let me down time and time again. It's time to end it all."

Fan Xian's face changed drastically. He hugged Fan Ruoruo and rushed towards the soldiers.

Liu Hong grabbed the huge bow handed to him by his personal guard, drew the bow and put the arrow on it, and shot towards Fan Ruoruo and Liu Ying in one go.

The Tianyi true qi and the Badao true qi were infused into the arrow, and the arrow, which was as big as a forearm, exploded in the air.

Only the cold arrows, like cannonballs, rushed towards the top of the city.

Originally, Liu Hong was not planning to shoot this arrow.

But Fan Ruoruo was asking for trouble. She insisted on speaking, which undermined the morale of her own troops.

Fan Ruoruo was frightened out of her wits. The burly Fan family guard, holding a huge shield, placed it in front of Fan Ruoruo and Fan Xian.

After blasting away four or five guards in a row, the arrow lost its force and fell on the city wall.

Liu Hong's voice was loud and extremely penetrating, echoing throughout Kyoto.

"Continue to attack the city, no need to show mercy! Sang Wen is pregnant with my child, and I have my eldest son Liu Fei as my heir."

"As for Liu Ying, it was his luck to survive, and his status as the eldest son remained unchanged. If he could not survive, it was also his fate."

All the soldiers understood, no wonder Pei Gong seemed so unconcerned.

It turns out that Sang Wen is also pregnant.

No wonder Pei Gong was so anxious and determined to capture the capital, because Sang Wen was still in the city.

"Conquer Kyoto and be made a general!"

The shouts rang out again, and this time the soldiers were like wild horses that had broken free from their reins, with no restraints anymore.

Fan Xian's face turned pale and he muttered to himself.

"Crazy, crazy! He doesn't even care about his own wife and eldest son. Liu Hong is determined to rebel."

Deng Ziyue knelt on the ground with tears and blood in his eyes.

"My lord, let's retreat! I'm afraid Kyoto can't be defended."

Fan Xian kicked Deng Ziyue to the ground and roared angrily.

"I have not been defeated yet. The private soldiers of my noble families and I have a total of 5,000 people."

"The rebels are at the end of their rope. If they fail to take Kyoto this time, they will not be able to attack the city again."

Prince Jing, Fan Jian, and Chen Pingping fell into deep thought.

It is true that the aristocratic families have private soldiers, and with their prestige, they can indeed forcibly requisition these 5,000 private soldiers.

But is it really worth it?
This is the capital for the noble families to escape from Kyoto.

If they were killed in the defense of the city and Kyoto was lost, the noble families would be seen as lambs to be slaughtered in the eyes of the world.

The sound of the city gate opening was heard, and Wang Qinian was agile and moved quickly among the soldiers who were fighting each other.

At this moment, Wang Qinian's face was still ashen.

"Sir, withdraw the troops! The Second Prince Li Chengze has betrayed us, and the west gate of Kyoto has fallen into the hands of the rebels."

Not to mention Fan Xian, even Prince Jing, Chen Pingping, and Fan Jian all had doubts in their minds.

They could understand Li Chengqian's rebellion, because his scandal with the eldest princess was exposed and he could only fight like a trapped beast.

But why did Li Chengze rebel?
You must know that Emperor Qing only eliminated the followers of the Crown Prince and the eldest princess, and did not take any action against the Second Prince, nor did he even give him a warning.
