Gu Jiusi killed all the assassins and fell down, Liu Yuru was very worried. Lacking food and grass, Zhou Gaolang decided to eat the same food as the soldiers starting tomorrow. He also ordered the camp to retreat and switch from attack to defense. Zhou Gaolang's mood was very complicated at this time, Lao Tzu wanted him to die, and his son also cut off the food and grass for his army. Gu Jiusi fell into a coma for two days before waking up. Chen Xun became the boss of the boat gang, searched all over the clinics and teahouses, and finally met Gu Jiusi. Luo Zishang believed that Liu Yuru's roots in the south were deep, and Gu Jiusi also had the help of people from the Jianghu, and Zhou Gaolang's army could not be restrained by cutting off food, but he had other methods. For Luo Zishang, Zhou Gaolang and his son are the last stumbling block to his success, which must be removed.
Liu Yuru was really good. She raised a lot of food, used caravans to escape the barriers, and transported the food continuously to the frontline battlefield. Zhou Ye told Zhou Gaolang the good news, and Zhou Gaolang immediately decided to fight Nan Zhao to the death tomorrow. Soon, the news of Nanzhao's great victory spread back to Dongdu. Fan Yu didn't dare to kill Zhou Gaolang, Luo Zishang pressed on every step of the way, saying that he could use the terrain of the Black River Valley and Yongshui Lake to create the illusion that the Youzhou army happened to encounter the barrier lake and burst the embankment, leading to the annihilation of the entire army. everyone. Fan Yu was furious, he didn't want to be ordered by Luo Zishang to do something, so he ordered him to step down. But Luo Zishang's worries were not unreasonable, Fan Yu asked Mrs. Xifeng's opinion, and finally thought that Luo Zishang was worrying too much.
Mrs. Zhou invited Qin Wan to her door and asked her if she had feelings for Zhou Ye. Although Qin Wanzhi was not as shy as other women in the boudoir, she also felt embarrassed and wanted to ask her personally when Zhou Ye came back. Without Fan Yu's consent, Luo Zishang issued a false edict to kill all the family members of the Zhou family. Qin Wanzhi vowed to protect Zhou's family to the death, but she was no match for four hands. She died protecting Zhou's family, but Zhou Ye didn't know it yet. When Jiang He learned of this, he immediately had someone notify Gu Jiusi. Fan Yu was terrified, but Luo Zishang poured the basin of dirty water on him. The next day at the court, the ministers headed by Ye Shi'an asked questions. Fan Yu finally admitted that it was his order after struggling psychologically, and slandered the Zhou family for collaborating with the enemy and treason.
Ye Shi'an laughed suddenly, and said in public that Fan Yu was a child who didn't know loyalty. Fan Yu became furious and killed chickens to make an example to monkeys. He was sentenced to be an accomplice of the Zhou family and asked to be executed ten days later. With Gu Jiusi and the others in their current position, it would take five days to rush back to Dongdu, so he decided to go back and save Ye Shian. On the way back to the court, Zhou Gaolang received a letter from Bai Yujing, and learned that the Zhou family had been wiped out and no one survived. Qin Wanzhi died to protect Zhou's family. Zhou Gaolang was so heartbroken that he was almost unable to stand up, he gave orders to the Youzhou soldiers with red eyes, to return to Dongdu immediately and seek justice from Fan Yuzhuzi. Luo Zishang's people hadn't found out about Gu Jiusi's movements, so Ming Yi went to see Ye Shian in prison, and agreed to Ye Shian's request to burn himself without erecting an inscription after his death.
After Luo Zishang received the secret letter from Southwest, he went to tell Fan Yu that the Youzhou army had broken an embankment in the Heihe Valley, and now the entire army has been wiped out. Fan Yu first laughed, then felt great sadness, Zhou Gaolang was his only family member, now his only family member is gone, no one can care about him anymore. Luo Zishang called in the guards with swords on the grounds that Fan Yu was drunk.
