Chun'er stumbled into the main hall. Her hair was disheveled from running. She knelt down and begged her Emperor Father to retract his order, saying she no longer wished to marry Yan Xun. But how could the Emperor allow her to go back on her word? He ordered the guards to take Chun'er away.
Chun'er broke free from the guards, ran back, and knelt down again, kowtowing until her head bled, shouting hoarsely that she no longer wished to marry Yan Xun. Poor her, she had always thought Yan Xun rebelled because he didn't want to marry her, and that her Emperor Father allowed her to marry Yan Xun out of love for her.
But she could never have imagined that she was merely a sacrifice in the struggle between her Emperor Father and Yan Xun. Yuwen Yue sat upright in the main hall and suddenly noticed Chu Qiao was gone. He took the opportunity to rush out and, sure enough, caught Chu Qiao, who was trying to escape, by a secluded palace wall. Yuwen Yue had long seen through Yan Xun's true colors. He knew Yan Xun had changed, becoming unfathomable and terrifying.
Chu Qiao would definitely be disappointed. Chu Qiao hadn't yet realized Yan Xun's change. She stubbornly believed that Yan Xun was still the benevolent Yan Xun who would not indiscriminately kill innocent people. Chu Qiao insisted on leaving, so Yuwen Yue no longer stopped her. Chu Qiao rode her horse along Chang'an's main street.
What she saw were countless civilian casualties, young children who had lost their parents crying helplessly, and evil criminals taking the opportunity to rape, kill, and plunder innocent civilians. Chu Qiao killed one evil criminal after another who was taking advantage of the chaos, her heart aching. Chang'an city was completely in chaos. Even the palace was infiltrated by Yan Xun's people, who started large fires to disrupt order. The news of Yan Xun's rebellion finally arrived.
The Emperor ordered that whoever killed Yan Xun would be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold. Yan Xun led his troops to welcome Chu Qiao. At the same time, Chun'er rushed over from the palace desperately, crying and begging Yan Xun not to rebel, saying she wouldn't marry him, couldn't she just not force him anymore? Yuan Song arrived with his men shortly after. He watched his sister desperately begging Yan Xun in such a pathetic state.
Even now, she still thought Yan Xun was rebelling simply because he didn't want to marry her. Yuan Song told Chun'er that Yan Xun was seeking revenge. Chun'er looked shocked; she had always thought Yan Xun had put his hatred aside. Yuan Song spoke mouthfuls of righteousness and morality, mentioning the Emperor's lenient treatment of Yan Xun, and thought Yan Xun's rebellion was an act of ingratitude. To Yan Xun, these words were a joke.
The Wei Emperor killed his entire family; he and Great Wei were irreconcilable. Yuan Song saw that Yan Xun was determined to rebel, and Chu Qiao was fighting alongside him. He drew Jian and severed ties with them, declaring that they would be enemies if they ever met again. Chun'er crawled to Yan Xun's feet, begging him not to rebel. In this matter, Chun'er was the most innocent, but Yan Xun could no longer spare her a thought.
Subsequently, Chu Qiao left the city first to rendezvous with Zhong Yu. She rode her horse across a pontoon bridge. Chu Qiao worried that such a simple bridge would not be able to withstand so many Xiuli Army soldiers crossing, but Zhong Yu said it was Yan Xun's decision and should be fine. Yan Xun led the Xiuli Army towards Shangwu Hall. Shangwu Hall was where Great Wei trained its officers.
If Shangwu Hall was massacred, Great Wei would not have generals capable of leading troops for at least ten years. Yuwen Yue had long foreseen Yan Xun's intentions, so he was waiting outside Shangwu Hall early. Yan Xun had found out that three years ago, when he was in prison, Yuwen Yue had guarded him day and night. To repay this favor, Yan Xun gave up on massacring Shangwu Hall.
With debts and favors settled, from then on, if they met again, they would be enemies. The Xiaoji Camp troops would arrive soon. Yan Xun ordered the Xiuli Army to stay and block them. He led his people out of the city first. When they reached the East Gate, the people Zhong Yu left behind were waiting there, and the Xiuli Army soldiers who had previously attacked the city gate had all died in battle.
Yan Xun ordered them to leave the city and immediately seal the city gate after exiting. The Xiuli Army soldiers still in the city would bravely fight the enemy and die in Chang'an city for Northern Yan. He Xiao led the few remaining Xiuli Army soldiers and successfully delayed the Xiaoji Camp's advance.
When they fought their way out and rushed to the East Gate, they found that all their brothers had died in battle, and their only way out, the East Gate, had already been sealed. Only then did they realize that Yan Xun had not forgiven the Xiuli Army. The pleasant demeanor he had shown earlier was merely to use them. Despair filled the hearts of the Xiuli Army soldiers. Now it seemed they had not only failed to receive forgiveness but also could not return home. They were the army abandoned by Northern Yan.
