From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 903

For a very long time, Zhou Yuan and Li Yu'an had a very good relationship, close and compatible.

But when they first got together, it was an alliance, a transaction.

It was just that feelings were born unknowingly.

Later, Zhou Yuan did not ask... "Who is more important, restoring the country or me?" Such nonsense, but he still knew that restoring the country was the greatest wish of the Virgin Sister and a lifelong pursuit.

So he never put himself above Goryeo.

But what he couldn't believe was that at this moment, the Virgin Sister had put herself above Goryeo.

She gave up her lifelong ideals and countless efforts in the past.

"You are my country."

This sentence was more deafening than the sound of artillery fire, and it froze Zhou Yuan's whole body.

At this moment, his heart was completely ignited.

Countless pictures, bits and pieces of the past, all came to his mind.

He took a deep breath and said, "When I come back, I will definitely take you back!"

Li Yu'an said firmly, "I will charge with you and protect you."

Zhou Yuan said, "This is a war, listen to me."

Li Yu'an looked at her, tears welling up in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Do you treat me as your uncle or as your wife?"

"If you treat me as your wife, it's life or death, take me with you."

In the firelight, her eyes were so sad, but so firm.

Zhou Yuan could no longer control his reason, grabbed her hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Life or death, we will face it together as husband and wife!"

He picked up a shield on the ground and handed it to Li Yu'an, saying, "We will protect each other! Go up to the tower!"

The two of them each held a shield and rushed towards the southern tower.

The flames illuminated everything, but they could never bury their figures.

Rush forward, climb up.

The front battlefield attracted enough firepower and people. Zhang Fei's surprise attack on the northern tower scared the other side. Duratis quickly mobilized people to defend the northern tower.

Zhou Yuan faced much less pressure.

There were still more than a hundred people left in the death squad, climbing up madly.

Li Yu'an was indeed a master. She held the shield in her left hand, lightly stepped on the bamboo ladder and went up quickly. The speed was unbelievable.

When she was close, she slapped out with a palm, and the powerful palm force directly slapped seven or eight defenders away.

But at the same time, the flintlock gun in the distance was aimed at her.

"Be careful!"

Zhou Yuan shouted.

But Li Yu'an was not a fool. She quickly put up a shield to block the first wave of bullets, and flew up with a step, directly onto the tower.

Dozens of soldiers rushed towards her, but she was not afraid. Her cold eyes were filled with murderous intent. She kicked the knife on the ground, and the knife flew out directly, piercing four people with powerful force.

Then she mobilized her internal force, formed seals with both hands and pushed forward. The powerful palm force was like a surging river, crushing everything in her way. Dozens of people in front of her fell to the ground, and everyone vomited blood.

The dozens of people behind her were so scared that their legs went weak when they saw this scene, and they didn't dare to get close at all.

About seven or eight feet away, more than twenty soldiers had already drawn their bows, and arrows were densely shot directly at her.

Li Yu'an snorted coldly, waved her sleeves, and her internal force came out of her body, forming an invisible air wall, blocking all the dozens of arrows.

With a turn of her wrist, her palm flew, and dozens of arrows suspended in the air were returned in full, shooting down dozens of other people.

At this moment, flames suddenly lit up in two places on the tower.

Paul Duradis laughed and said, "What a great skill! I have always longed for the mystery of the East, and this is why I came here."

"It's a pity that you are holding up a shield, which seems to have told me that the mysterious power in you cannot stop bullets."

With a wave of his hand, more than two hundred musketeers appeared on both sides of the tower.

They formed a neat team with a tight echelon, enough to ensure that there were sub-guns fired at every moment.

Paul Duradis shouted, "Shoot!"

At this moment, Zhou Yuan and more than a dozen death squads also rushed up to the tower, but they were faced with rounds of shooting.

But fortunately, everyone had accumulated a lot of experience, and immediately put their shields across their bodies, forming a wooden wall to block the bullets.

But the two hundred of them took turns shooting, and they had enough time to change the sub-guns, enough to keep the firepower going.

The other team members continued to rush up, and there was actually a musketeer team in the dark to make up for the fire and suppress the firepower.

Both sides could not help but open fire, but the suicide squad on the ladder could not deploy and was eventually beaten down.

Li Yu'an suddenly said: "No! I heard the sound of wheels!"

Zhou Yuan's face changed drastically, and he looked through the gap and saw the fire in front of him.All the gunners were retreating, and two falconets were already aimed at this side.

They were actually planning to fire at such a close distance!

Li Yu'an shouted loudly: "Put down the shields!"

Her internal force surged wildly, and she mobilized seven or eight shields on this side. With a clear shout, the powerful force directly shattered the shields into countless pieces of wood.

Then she pushed forward with both hands!

The terrifying internal force was overwhelming, and countless pieces flew forward, accompanied by the air wave, knocking all the gunners to the ground.

"Retreat! Quick!"

Li Yu'an roared, pulled Zhou Yuan up and ran down the bamboo ladder.

More than a dozen other death squads also went down, but they were still shot by the Dutch who reacted, and most of them died.

The remaining death squads were in a mess, and they were forced to evacuate with Zhou Yuan and others.

This surprise attack failed again.

Under limited conditions, there were not many tactical changes, and the Dutch guessed it, ambushed a large number of musketeers in advance, and prepared two cannons.

They must have adjusted the muzzle in advance to ensure that they could hit at close range and made full preparations.

So this time, even with the unreasonable martial arts of the Virgin Sister, they still couldn't stand on the city wall.

"Retreat first! I have a way! I have a way!"

Zhou Yuan quickly figured everything out and shouted: "Retreat!"

This time, another sixty or seventy people were lost, and there were only a little over a hundred people left in the death squad, but in return, Zhou Yuan realized.

He already had a way to take down the Dutch.

For this reason, he couldn't help but get excited, holding Li Yu'an's hand and said: "Virgin Sister, I have a way, a unique way, but it must be effective."

Li Yu'an's face was pale, and she murmured: "Really? That's great."

Zhou Yuan's smile froze instantly.

He raised his hand and looked at his palm. In the light of the fire, he saw blood, scarlet blood.

He subconsciously looked at Li Yu'an, only to find that her abdomen had been stained with blood. The two blood holes were shocking and still bleeding.

At this moment, Zhou Yuan was suddenly stabbed in the heart, and the whole person froze.

He trembled and said, "This... this... when..."

Li Yu'an could hardly stand steadily, half leaning on him, and smiled weakly: "I used too much internal force to rush on the road, and my heart of Taoism has not calmed down, which made me not sharp enough and failed to dodge these two shots."

"I was shot when I broke the shield. It was too noisy at the time, and I couldn't hear it."

"I just felt numb in my stomach, and when I got off the tower... I found out that I was shot."

Zhou Yuan breathed rapidly, then suddenly woke up, and quickly tore open his clothes and wrapped her abdomen tightly.

He carried Li Yu'an on his back, his voice choking with sobs: "Hold on, hold on, you will be fine."

Li Yu'an's arms were weakly wrapped around his neck, and her cheek couldn't help but rub against him, smelling his scent.

She was weak and murmured: "Maybe... I can't do it..."

"Hold on! Virgin sister, you must hold on!"

Zhou Yuan's eyes were red, and he ran forward like crazy, and finally came to the simple general's tent.

"Rest for the army, no one is allowed to come in!"

He rushed in, put Li Yu'an on the bed, and said in a trembling voice: "I will take out the bullet for you and suture the wound, it will be fine, it will be fine."

Li Yu'an held his hand and gently wiped Zhou Yuan's tears.

Her lips were pale, and she murmured, "It's no use... I'm a warrior, I can feel my own condition..."

"If I were in Qingcheng Mountain or Zhongnan Mountain now, I could still be saved..."

"But I'm in Dongfan Island now, I can't be saved."

At this point, she couldn't help but shed tears, choking and saying, "I'm sorry... I can't accompany you anymore..."

"I know you still have a long, long way to go... It will be very hard in the future..."

"It's a pity... I can't accompany you..."

"I can't bear to leave you... I really can't bear to leave you..."

Blood also flowed from the corners of her mouth , she used all her strength to grab Zhou Yuan's hand, and said weakly: "Don't go to Goryeo, don't take risks for me..."

"Sister is right, the change of dynasties is the way of nature, I don't care, I only care about you."

"As long as you live well and happily in the future, and no longer so tired, I will be at ease..."

"If you still remember me in the future..."

"Then give me a bouquet of flowers occasionally in front of my tombstone."

"I like flowers, but you never give me any..."

She stroked Zhou Yuan's face and said softly: "Live happily, live a long and long life..."
