I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law
chapter-531

Ye Luyan and Xie Xuanji probably forgot that King Qiyang also had another title, which was the Emperor Terminator. Xie Xuanchen was a slightly coercive person. The Emperors of the later Jin Dynasty, Hou Shu Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty all died at his hands. Since he had collected three of them, he might as well be the King of Qiyang for a couple years longer and collect the names of all the Emperors in the world. It wouldn’t be bad to become Emperor himself once everything was neat and tidy.

Beirong, North Ye and South Ye were locked in a power struggle for three years. In the year when Xie Xuanchen officially rebelled, he no longer used the nation’s title but established his own reigning name as the Zhangwu era. In the 5th year of Zhangwu, which was the 4th year of Qingping and the 4th year after Xie Xuanji changed capitals, Xie Xuanchen sent his troops to conquer Beirong.

Ye Luyan knew that this battle would not be easy, so he personally fought against Xie Xuanchen in a fight to the death.

This was the second confrontation between the two of them, five years after their first battle.

Ye Luyan believed that he was good at literary arts and military affairs, which led to him almost becoming the most meritorious Emperor in the history of Beirong. However, all this ended at the hands of Xie Xuanchen.

Perhaps there was a certain amount of light in the world. If one person shines too brightly, the others would dim out. Ye Luyan considered himself a hero of the world, but just because of Xie Xuanchen’s existence, when people mentioned Ye Luyan, they would only think of him being beaten to pieces by the latter before running away in despair amidst a dark night.

How could Ye Luyan be willing to accept this outcome?

In the south, Xie Xuanji and Jiang Mingwei were also paying close attention to the situation in the north. Later, news spread to the Lin An Palace that Beirong, which was once prosperous and dominated the grasslands, had perished.

Ye Luyan was killed by Xie Xuanchen and Xiao Siyi committed suicide in the harem. It was said that before Xiao Siyi died, she looked up to the sky and laughed, calling out the name of Princess Mu Mingtang of Qiyang.

Xiao Siyi was arrogant when she was a girl. She followed Ye Luyan to the capital to negotiate peace back then. In the palace, she met Mu Mingtang, who was still Princess An.

Xiao Siyi and Mu Mingtang liked each other very much. Before leaving the Ye Palace, Xiao Siyi had said to Mu Mingtang that they would meet again in the future if their fates aligned.

The results proved prophetic.

When Jiang Mingwei heard that Ye Luyan was dead, she felt a sense of sadness for some reason. Ye Luyan and Xiao Siyi were both dead. It was obvious that these two people had brought her endless suffering in her previous life, but in this life, Jiang Mingwei was not happy at all when she heard the news of their deaths.

Beirong had been destroyed already; was Lin An really that far from the same?

Since Beirong was no more, the next step was Xixia. Taiyuan and the other places naturally surrendered to Xie Xuanchen when Xie Xuanji moved south. Xixia’s national power was completely unable to compare with that of Beirong. It didn’t take long before they also perished.

At this point, the north was unified, and everything fell into the hands of Xie Xuanchen.
