In February of the following year, the spring was still chilly. On this day, amid the faint sound of waves, dozens of people fled in a hurry to the entrance of an unknown small fishing village on the shore of the Yellow Sea.

Years of war have led to the rare young and strong fishing villages in such a remote fishing village, but only a dozen households are old, weak, women and children, with dark faces and ragged clothes. Suddenly, they saw the crowds of people fleeing into the entrance of the village. Although they looked frightened and looked like a stray dog, some were wearing tilted hats and ignorant hair, some were radiant and had a boot on their feet. They only looked at the color of their clothes, but they looked like a high-quality noble person. There was also a woman covered with gorgeous golden masks on her face. It was strange to fall into the eyes of the villagers.

The villagers were extremely frightened and called their children to call their daughters and fled around.

The pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, as if they could hear the sound of horse hooves falling to the ground and fighting. An official suddenly fell from the back of the marching horse, and the beam was rolling to the side of the road. He broke his leg and called for help, but no one paid attention. In a blink of an eye, dozens of people swept past him like the wind, leaving him behind him and the horror and cry for help.

A former fisherman was walking across from the opposite side, like an old fisherman who had just returned from the beach. Seeing the group of people opposite, the old fisherman turned around and wanted to escape, and was immediately caught. The soldiers threatened with swords and forced the old fisherman to take the boat to the place where he bent.

The waves were heard, and the salty and fishy sea breeze was also coming towards us.

The horse's hooves fell into the mud flats and it was difficult to move forward. Liu Yan and his party got off the horse and stepped into the mud strait, one deep and one shallow, and stumbled into the beach where the fishing boats were moored. Finally, they fled to the side of the boat. Everyone was barefoot, their clothes were covered with mud, and they were in a mess. All their boots and shoes were inserted into the muddy mud flat behind them, as if they were opening their black mouths to the sky, calling in vain.

When the tide was falling, the fishing boat was quickly pushed into the sea, and the old fishermen were forced to board the boat and rush together.

But the fishing boat was not big enough to accommodate all the people.

Liu Yan, Su Ehuang, Liu Shan, Liang Ji, the prefect of Yuanyangdu who was named General, and his daughter who was made queen by Liu Yan, and the last dozen soldiers boarded the ship, he had no place to settle down.

Wang Ba Dou Wu and Deng Xun and others had long lost their usual steadfast appearance. They had their feet and crowns, their bodies were covered with dirty, their beards and beards, and their beards were also muddy. They all knelt on the beach, facing Liu Yan on the fishing boat, some cried loudly, and some kowtowed to see him off regardless of the mud, and they were in chaos.

At this moment, Dong Cheng suddenly pushed away Dou Wu who was blocking him, and caught up with the fishing boat with sea water. He tried hard to hold the bow of the boat, and tears looked like tears: "Your Majesty, don't abandon me! Let me get on the boat! I was loyal to you and helped you ascend the throne. How could you abandon me like this today..."

The fishing boat had just entered the sea with the retreating tide. It was unstable. He grabbed the bow of the boat like this and tried to climb up, and immediately shook it left and right.

Liu Fan lay on the bow of the boat covered with slippery and dirty marks, and stomped on the back of Dong Cheng's hand with his feet. Seeing that Dong Cheng was gritting his teeth and dragging the fishing boat, he pulled out the waist of a soldier beside him and chopped down at Dong Cheng's hands.

Amid the screams, Dong Cheng's fingers in one hand were broken. The moment he fell, out of survival instinct, he grabbed Liu Fan's ankle with his other hand. Liu Fan was unstable and was dragged by Dong Cheng. The two of them fell into the sea together.

The tide was gushing, and the two were quickly swept away from the fishing boat. Liu Fan did not know the nature of the water and fell into the sea. While trampling and struggling to break free and holding his own Dong Cheng tightly, he shouted for help at the fishing boat: "Your Majesty, save me-"

Before he finished speaking, a wave came and covered him. In a blink of an eye, the two heads disappeared on the sea.

Liu Yan stood in the boat, and the sea breeze blew his robe and his eyes were fixedly looking at the direction where the pursuers gradually came up in the distance, with a blank expression.

The fishing boat gradually disappeared from sight with the crying of the remaining ministers by the sea.

...

On the evening of the next day, Liu Yan and his group, who had no supplies, finally boarded a small island under the helm of the old fishermen.

The traces of people living in this small island are drying some broken fishing nets by the beach, and the shadows of several low thatched huts can be seen in the distance.

Liang Ji asked Liu Yan to take a moment and took his soldiers to find the islanders.

As soon as Su Ehuang got ashore, he lay on the reef and vomited constantly. The butterfly cover on his face accidentally fell and was swept away by a wave.

Su Ehuang screamed, regardless of the surging waves, chased after him, and finally grabbed the mask from the beach.

She was covered in virginity and had a pale face, like a dead person. She was holding the already deformed mask tightly and immediately put it on her face. However, her hands were trembling violently. After wearing it several times, the mask fell off.

Finally, she asked her to wear it back with her barely. She almost crawled and went to the shore with her hands and feet. Finally, she sat near a reef and gasped.

Liu Yan was right next to her, with a haggard face, her lips were chapped and bleeding, motionless, like a clay sculpture.

Soon, Liang Ji came back, holding a pot of clear water in his hand and presented it to Liu Yan, saying that there were dozens of residents on the island, all the fishermen who fled from nearby seaside fishing villages to the island to avoid the war. They had just been controlled by the soldiers. Liu Yan asked to rest for a night first, wait for the supply to change to a larger and safer boat, and then find a way to escape further tomorrow morning.

Su Ehuang struggled, stood up from the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the sea route is vast, Wei Ni is very clear and has no choice but to wait for this near-sea waters! We can go south and wait for the south to accumulate energy. With your identity as an orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty, why worry about not having loyal ministers in the world! In the future, fight for rebellion, kill back to Luoyang, tear Wei Ni to pieces and take revenge!"

The sea breeze was strong, and her voice was blown with a buzzing and trembling sound, but it was extremely sonorous. Even Liang Ji seemed to feel the hope in her words.

The already depressed spirit was actually cheered up and looked at Liu Yan.

Liu Yan was supported by Lianghou, slowly stood up from the stone, and walked towards the highest settlement in the middle of the island, one step deep and one step shallow.

On a flat ground in the settlement, dozens of ragged fishermen were kneeling, both men, women, and young and old. With a terrified and confused look, they looked at Liu Yan, Su Ehuang and his group who were gradually walking towards him.

Liu Yan crawled into the largest thatched hut, and as soon as he entered, he lay on the ragged mat that was barely considered a bed, closing his eyes and motionless.

The sky gradually darkened.

The wind was howling outside the thatched hut, and the strange sounds were heard, like a fierce ghost parading over the island.

Liu Yan finally felt tired.

He slept, and the ground beside his feet slept behind the beam.

The moonlight shone through a hole on the roof of the thatched hut, sprinkled on the beautiful young face from the beam, and also shone a piece of tears at the corner of her eyes.

Suddenly, Liu Yan, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

Queen Liang was awakened by him, got up, rushed to him, and said, "What's wrong with you, Your Majesty?"

Liu Yan opened his eyes wide and stared at the face behind the beam under the moonlight without blinking, gradually revealing a confused look.

Queen Liang called him again tentatively. Seeing that he refused, his eyes became more and more strange when he stared at him, and his heart was bleak and he slowly retreated.

Liu Yan suddenly threw her down.

"...You are my Liu Yan's wife... said, you want to have a bed with me and die with the same cave..."

Although Liang Fei was the queen, she was not very close to him on weekdays. At this moment, she fell into such a field and felt him holding her tightly. With a trembling and vague sound, her cold lips kept falling on her cheeks. Her heart couldn't help but pound, she slowly closed her eyes and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I am your wife, I will definitely be with you and your Majesty and die with you..."

Liu Yan kissed her even more crazily.

"I know you were forced! You were forcibly married to Wei Ni by your family... They should all die, and they deserve to die! But as long as you change your mind, I will not blame you and I will give you the queen!"

Liu Yan's voice became extremely excited.

Concubine Liang opened her eyes in surprise and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what did you say?"

Liu Yan suddenly froze, finally slowly opened his eyes, staring at Concubine Liu under him in the white moonlight in the thatched hut.

Concubine Liang felt scared again, shivered and said softly: "Your Majesty... You said that I was forcibly married to Wei Ni by my family... and said that they deserved death... My father has always been loyal to you... Please give your Majesty a clear guide..."

Liu Yan's eyes flashed, his face muscles twitched, his breathing became more and more turbid. He raised his hand suddenly and grabbed her neck.

Concubine Liang couldn't breathe, and her thin neck was deformed under Liu Yan's pinching as if she had used all her strength. She kicked her legs, but struggled in vain. Soon her eyes turned white and gradually, her whole body became soft.

Liu Yan's hand finally let go of the thin neck. He got up from the ground and sat down, stared at the face where Concubine Liang rolled her eyes, smoothed her eyelids, and murmured: "Manman, please go first... I will follow you in the future..."

His expression seemed to cry and laugh, pain, and also filled with pleasure, and he was panting constantly.

Suddenly, accompanied by the sea breeze outside the thatched hut, there seemed to be a faint sound of killing roar.

Liu Yan seemed to be stabbed by a needle, jumped up from the ground and rushed out of the broken door. Seeing Liang Ji running towards him, he shouted in a hurry: "Your Majesty, it's not good! Wei Ni's big ship has chased him here, and the people have already arrived ashore!"

Liu Yan looked up and saw the direction of the sea where he landed in the daytime. At this moment, a jumping light of fire sticks flashed, almost reflecting the entire beach in red. It seemed that in a blink of an eye, the light of fire sticks was surrounded by such fire sticks. Under the stars and moonlight, countless figures were rushing towards the high ground in the middle.

The sound of killing came everywhere, even overwhelming the howling sound of the sea breeze that crossed the island.

...

Liu Yan should have felt fear, just like Liang Ji and the only ten dead guards left by him.

But at this moment, there was only a confusion and a cold and complete despair left in his heart.

In fact, since the Huns attacked Yuyang at the end of last year but failed, he actually knew in his heart that sooner or later, he would face such a situation.

I just didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

"Go quickly! Bring all the islanders!"

Su Ehuang's shrill voice came from behind him. Liang Ji was stunned, then reacted and immediately ordered loudly.

In order to prevent the islanders from causing trouble at night, before dark, the people were tied up with ropes. Soon, the people were driven over by the soldiers and all knelt on the ground and cried.

The moonlight was bright tonight, illuminating the entire island like a snowy night. Liu Yan saw a man of his age, surrounded by several generals, stride towards him in the light intertwined by the white moonlight and the red fire.

In his life, his biggest and most hated enemy was Wei Shao.

Wei Shao not only took away his fiancée, but also his world.

What's ridiculous is that he never had the chance to meet his enemies.

Until this moment, he finally realized that the person who was heading towards him in the moonlight and firelight as a victorious posture was the evil curse that Liu Yan could never get rid of in his life.

He stared at the man who was getting closer and closer, with the sparkling red light on his armor, and his whole body felt cold and hot again. His body under his shoulders trembled slightly uncontrollably.

"kill--"

"kill--"

From all directions, the loud sound of low sea waves and the whimpering night wind surged towards the high ground in the middle of the island.

The soldiers who drove a warship with Yanhou crossing the sea to chase him here were all excited.

General Li Dian had joined forces with General Green Eyes, attacked the north and south, completely wiped out King Chen. The disaster in the south lasted almost a year, causing the cannibal army that was terrified of the public to ashes. At the same time, in December last year, Wei Shao personally led a large army to pacify Yuzhou and ordered Gai Zhao to surrender. Since then, the momentum is unstoppable and unstoppable. Songling, Jiangxia and Liu Quan and others have also surrendered one after another.

In addition to the barbarians in the south, only the two regimes in the Central Plains, Le Zheng and Liu Yan, were left.

The internal struggle between the Le Zheng brothers is just around the corner, and Liu Yan is now even closer, like a turtle in a jar.

Destroy Liu Yan and break the Liang. From then on, the world will be united and the horse will be released to the south mountain. A brand new empire will stand up from the ruins. No need to struggle with battles, and the spears are covered with blood. How can people not be full of expectations and their blood is boiling?

"Listen to Wei Ni! These islanders are innocent people. Your Majesty doesn't want to make things difficult for you, but you are aggressive! If your soldiers get closer, I will kill all the islanders and fight to the death with you!"

Liang Ji tried his best to shout at Wei Shao, who was dozens of feet away opposite him. His words mixed with the crying and praying of the islanders behind him, and sent them out with the wind.

Wei Shao stopped.

The order officer gradually handed over the orders, and soon the noise of killing around him became quiet.

"Give up the passage immediately and send His Majesty onto the ship-"
