Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 429 The troops are approaching the city

A sword hit General Zhu right between his eyebrows and he fell to the ground with a bang. His eyes were wide open before he died, full of unwillingness.

I wanted to establish a career and win a piece of land for my family as a foundation for eternity. But who knew that I would die in a foreign land, without a trace of my body left.

Tragic, too tragic.

Ning Zhiwei stepped on the man's body, her eyes were extremely cold, "Kill all the Zhu family members, leaving no one alive."

"Yes."

This is what happens when you offend the empress.

The Zhu family was the first to fall, and then it was the turn of each family. It only took a short period of time for them to go from being skeptical at the beginning, to having illusions, and then to despair.

Cities were captured one after another, and noble families collapsed one after another. No one could stop Ning Zhiwei from pacifying the world.

Until she led her troops to the capital of the Jiang Dynasty and laid siege to the city.

The palace was in a state of panic, and everyone was in danger and uneasy.

Not long ago, who would have thought that Ning Zhiwei would go all the way south and attack Huanglong?

Ning Zhiwei, this name is like a mountain, pressing down on everyone in Jiang Dynasty, making it hard for them to breathe.

In the Golden Palace, Su Mingjin, wearing the emperor's dragon robe, sat on the throne with an extremely solemn expression.

The civil and military officials were like clay sculptures, motionless.

Su Mingjin felt annoyed just looking at them. Aren't they usually very talkative? They would go back and forth and have a quarrel for a long time.

"Are you all mute? Speak up, Ning Zhiwei is about to break in, do you have any way to stop her?"

All the civil and military officials lowered their eyes and remained silent. If they had any way, they would have stopped the enemy long ago. Why would they be chased and attacked all the way to the capital?

Su Mingjin simply called out his name, "Military Advisor, what do you say?"

The military advisor looked dull and said, "Kill Ning Zhiwei, kill the Ning family."

The clan elites and guards who followed the eldest son to the war were all killed by Ning Zhiwei, leaving no one alive.

The Zhu family was completely destroyed and it would be impossible for them to rise again within three generations.

Everyone was silent. Did they not want to? They just couldn't win!!!

Ning Zhiwei’s fighting ability is too strong.

A minister said, "Your Majesty, this is not our fault. We can only blame the intelligence for being wrong. They said they were heading north, but they were actually heading south. This caused problems with our overall layout."

"Yes, that's right. It's not our fault. We all did our best."

Later in the battle, the aristocratic families simply abandoned the city and ran away, not daring to confront Ning Zhiwei directly.

No matter how good the territory is, you have to be alive to get it.

The emperor snorted coldly. These were all excuses. "Now is not the time to shirk responsibility. The Ning family army will soon reach the capital. Don't have any unrealistic fantasies. Ning Zhiwei will not accept your family's surrender."

Everyone's faces became even uglier. Ning Zhiwei was not like the previous founding emperors. He did not need the support of the aristocratic families, so he did not need to compromise with them.

You look at me, I look at you, looking at each other.

"Your Majesty, you can prepare more explosives."

The emperor frowned, distressed, "Not enough materials."

Ning Zhiwei already controlled most of the areas, and the materials needed for explosives were monopolized by her, while he only had what he had previously stockpiled, and had used up part of it on the battlefield, so there wasn't much left.

It is far from enough to fight the battle to defend the capital.

What’s scary is that Ning Zhiwei has a large amount of explosives.

A civilian officer cautiously suggested, "Why don't we retreat before they surround us?"

To put it nicely, it is retreat, to put it bluntly, it is escape. But if the king of a country abandons the capital and flees, he will be despised by the world.

The whole place was silent, everyone had different expressions, and secretly looked at Su Mingjin.

What on earth was he thinking? If he wanted to escape, he had to hurry, or it would be too late.

Su Mingjin's face turned pale. These people were not optimistic about defending the capital?

He knew that these people had sent their families away and were ready to leave at any time. These bastards had no intention of serving their country and only wanted to live in disgrace.

He said coldly, "Where to retreat to? Further south is a barren land."

The civil servant said with a sad face, "Even if it is a wild place, it is better than sending death. Your Majesty, let's move the capital."

Another official flatly rebuked them, "We can't move the capital. Once we do, people's hearts will fall apart, and it will be difficult to regain power in the future."

But, now it’s dispersed.

Su Mingjin did not want to move the capital. Once the capital was moved, it would be tantamount to admitting defeat, and even a precursor to the country's demise.

The descendants of the Su family took it as their mission to restore the country. After much difficulty, the country was destroyed within a few years. He could not accept this fact.

He also didn't want to be a king who lost his country.

At this moment, a guard walked in with a look of horror, "Your Majesty, this is bad, Ning Zhiwei is already at the gates of the city."

Rumble, like a thunder exploding above everyone's head, everyone's face changed and they trembled.

Came so fast!

"Your Majesty, what should I do?"

Su Mingjin's eyes flickered slightly, "All civil and military officials are going to the top of the city to supervise the battle. Go quickly, guards, please go over."

It was said to be an invitation, but in fact it was an escort.

Everyone was shocked. Was he crazy? Was he going to destroy himself along with his enemy?

After everyone left, Su Mingjin stayed alone for a while, then called Su Asi and handed him a token.

"Ah Si, go and prepare for the retreat. I have prepared several ships on the coast. If there is no cooperation, we will go out to sea."

No matter how powerful Ning Zhiwei is, it is impossible for him to go out to sea to capture him.

In the vast ocean, no one can catch him.

Su Asi was very surprised. He thought Su Mingjin would choose to fight to the death, but who knew that he had already quietly arranged a retreat.

As expected, all kings are evil-hearted. "Yes."

Su Mingjin reminded, "Remember, don't let the news leak out."

"Yes."

After Su Asi left, Su Mingjin called the leader of the secret guards again, "Long Yi."

A dark figure appeared silently, "I'm here."

Su Mingjin ordered, "You also go and make preparations, and protect me when the time comes to break through."

He would not put his life in the hands of one person, so he prepared several backup plans just in case.

He also reminded, "Remember, beware of Ah Si. If he dares to have any other intentions, kill him on the spot."

"Yes."

He made a series of arrangements and then stood up, "Let's go, I'm going to meet Ning Zhiwei."

At the foot of the city, Ning Zhiwei arrived with thousands of troops. Looking at the towering city gate, her eyes narrowed slightly.

This is the last battle!

The Jiang Dynasty will eventually end in her hands!

Su Mingjin stood on the city wall, staring blankly at the girl in military uniform. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and was extremely beautiful, with a stern look in her eyes and eyebrows.

He looked dazed and couldn't help but think of his previous life, which was the same scene and the same enemy at the gates.

The difference is that he was the commander-in-chief leading the army to the city, while Ning Zhiwei was hung on the city wall, and the enemy used her to threaten them to retreat.

Their positions were swapped.

What did he do at that time? Oh, now I remember, after saying some high-sounding words, he personally drew the bow and shot her to death with one arrow.

The intersection of past and present lives made him unable to tell where he was.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Ning Zhiwei, is this your revenge? You made me watch helplessly as everything was taken away by you, and made me regret it forever!"
