The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

"The general is dead!"

"The general has been killed!"

"Run!"

The general who defended the city died, and the soldiers who had fled in all directions now regretted that their parents had given them two legs.

"Pei Xingjian is a good boy." Qin Huaiyu climbed up the tower and saw Pei Xingjian taking the sword that Zhao Chen rewarded him with and killing everyone.

"I hope he can persist until the end." Cheng Chumo said calmly, knocking over a Goguryeo soldier who was rushing towards him.

The Goguryeo army in the city is preparing to retreat.

Before retreating, the Goguryeo generals planned to plunder all the property in the capital of Silla.

Conquering the capital of Silla in this way is not a waste of time.

Many Goguryeo soldiers even directly forced families of Silla people to leave with the Goguryeo army with their family belongings.

But just as they were preparing to leave from the south city gate, they heard that the north gate of the Silla capital was breached by the Tang Dynasty border troops.

Looking up, the sun was hanging directly overhead.

In just one morning, the Tang Dynasty border troops actually broke through their heavily defended city gate.

When everyone heard the news, their expressions immediately changed.

Many generals glanced at the carriage behind them with some reluctance. The carriage contained all the property they had plundered from the capital of the King of Silla.

But now that the Silla Kingdom has been defeated, the Tang border troops are about to catch up.

They couldn't go very far with these things.

If they were caught up, they might not be able to hold on to these.

"Throw away all these burdens." Gaiwa Tai gave the order firmly.

"General, these are treasures..."

"What's the use of my treasure? If I'm caught up by the Tang Dynasty's border troops, my life will be gone." Gaiwa Tai shouted coldly.

He did not expect that all the soldiers guarding the city would be wiped out so quickly.

If they could persist for a day or two, the Tang border troops would definitely not be able to catch up with them.

Now I can only give up these yellow and white things.

A large number of carriages were abandoned on the roadside, and the Goguryeo army quickly retreated south.

…

The border troops of the Tang Dynasty entered the capital of Silla.

The King of Silla was shocked at this moment.

The entire city was shrouded in desolation.

The walls are broken and ruined.

The prosperity of the past has become a thing of the past.

On the streets, countless shops and houses were burned or destroyed.

There were traces of dried blood at his feet.

An old man leaned under the damaged house, his eyes full of sadness and helplessness.

His right hand tightly grabbed the half-grown child next to him.

"Grandpa, what should we do?" The child's eyes flashed with tears of fear.

The old man gently stroked the child's head and forced out a sad smile: "It's okay. It's all over. Everything will be fine."

In the distance, a group of people surrounded an old doctor, anxiously waiting for treatment.

The doctor was exhausted, but he still treated the wounds of each injured person firmly, and the silver needle in his hand shone coldly in the sun.

"Doctor, I...can I survive?" A commoner who had an arm cut off cried in pain.

The doctor took a deep breath, forced a smile, and comforted him: "You have to have confidence, this injury is nothing."

Cheng Chu sighed silently.

The last time he came, the royal capital of Silla was in a prosperous scene, and the people were living and working in peace and contentment.

But it has only been a month, and things have already changed.

"Cheng Er, let's go to the palace and have a look." Qin Huaiyu looked at Cheng Chumo.

Cheng Chu nodded silently.

The people walked forward and soon arrived at the Silla Palace.

At this moment, there were corpses everywhere outside the Silla Palace.

The corpses of palace maids and eunuchs covered the entire staircase.

The blood on the ground had not dried yet, and the bodies were still warm. It was obvious that these people had just been killed.

He slowly walked up the steps, his boots stained with blood, and arrived at the Silla Palace step by step.

In the palace hall, the King of Silla sat on the throne in a daze.

There was still saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth and his eyes were dull. When he saw Cheng Chumo come in, he laughed.

"who are you?"

"Can you come and play with me?" The King of Silla looked at Cheng Chumo.

"Your Majesty the King." Cheng Chumo saluted with the King of Silla.

In just one month, the King of Silla, who was quite ambitious at the beginning, turned into this foolish person.

God knows what he has been through these days.

"Play with me!"

"Play with me!" The King of Silla didn't understand what Cheng Chumo said, nor could he remember who Cheng Chumo was.

It’s just that you kept asking Cheng Chumo to play with him.

"Alas." Qin Huaiyu sighed, his eyes falling on the side hall.

Through the slightly opened gap, you can still see many naked corpses inside, and each corpse is covered with scars.

One can imagine how cruelly they were tortured before their deaths.

"Cheng Er, let's go." Qin Huaiyu pulled Cheng Chumo.

"Aren't you going to play with me?"

"Are you leaving?"

"No one will play with me anymore!" the King of Silla shouted from behind.

Cheng Chumo lowered his head and left the hall without saying a word.

The Tang border army did not continue to pursue the Goguryeo army.

Three days later

Since then, the Tang border troops have been rescuing injured Silla people in the city and disposing of the unburied bodies.

Three days later, the streets were clean.

Except for the burned-down houses and the brick walls hacked by weapons, it was as if nothing had happened.

"Your Highness, Miss Wu Xu is here." As soon as Zhao Chen walked into the Silla Capital, he heard Qin Sanpao say that Wu Xu was here.

Knowing that Wu Xu was fine, Zhao Chen finally felt relieved.

"Let her in!" Zhao Chen nodded and asked Qin Sanpao to bring Wu Xu over.

"Zhao Chen!" Wu Xu walked up to Zhao Chen and hugged Zhao Chen in front of everyone.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then turned around with a knowing smile.

"Are you okay?" Zhao Chen wanted to push Wu Xu away, but saw her holding him tightly with both hands.

Thinking that Wu Xu must have been frightened these days, Zhao Chen didn't push her away forcefully.

"It's okay. Fortunately, there are soldiers and brothers from the Xuanjia Army taking care of him. Otherwise, he might really be dead!" Wu Xu was a little scared.

It turned out that when the Goguryeo army evacuated, almost the entire Silla Kingdom was swept away by them.

Even the slums where Wu Xu temporarily took refuge were not spared.

Several Goguryeo soldiers discovered Wu Xu's hiding place and wanted to go up and use force. Fortunately, the Xuanjia Army soldiers arrived in time.

Kill all those guys, or else...

"never mind."

"It's okay!" Zhao Chen raised his hand, hesitated for a moment and then patted Wu Xu's back gently.

Wu Xu didn't say anything, he just hugged Zhao Chen tightly.

"Why don't you let go first, we are on this street..." Zhao Chen whispered, originally wanting Wu Xu to let go of him.

After all, this is the street and too many people will see it.

But Wu Xu didn't respond at all. Zhao Chen frowned and looked at Wu Xu in his arms, only to see that she fell asleep standing just like that!
