"To the north...?"
After hearing what the ministers said, King Sushen suddenly frowned, as if unwilling, "The snow-capped mountains in the north are cold all year round and the land is barren. Those savages have a hard time living. We don't know how many days we can survive there!"
When he thought of the harsh conditions in the uninhabited land in the north, King Sushen felt extremely conflicted.
"Your Majesty, if we bring enough clothes and thick quilts, and some more food, we can last for a few days. After these Qin troops leave, we can still blend in with the people and develop in the dark!"
"Yes! Although it's cold in the north, it's better than waiting to die here!"
"According to what the soldiers just said, it is estimated that the Qin army will be able to attack in less than an hour. By then, even if we want to escape, we will not be able to escape...!"
Seeing that their king was still hesitating and unwilling to part with his current luxurious life, the anxious ministers stamped their feet.
"Um...this...?"
King Sushen stood up, paced back and forth, frowning in thought, feeling very entangled in his heart.
I want both glory and wealth, but also peace and security!
This made the ministers anxious, "Your Majesty, you have to make a decision quickly, we don't have time!"
"That place to the north...!"
"boom……"
King Sushen frowned and was about to say something when a huge roar sounded, causing the entire palace to shake violently.
"No, Your Majesty, the explosion seems to be much closer than before. If I guess correctly, the Qin army should have already begun to attack the city!"
"Your Majesty, don't hesitate, let's go!"
Hearing this loud noise, the ministers turned pale with fright. They didn't give King Sushen any time to think about it, and just pulled him and ran out.
There was no other way. I thought it would take an hour for the Qin army to break in.
But looking at the current posture, the Qin army will be able to invade the palace in two quarters of an hour.
I don’t care about the dignity or the king’s life anymore, save the king first!
If even the king is gone, then Su Shen is really doomed for them!
"Wait a minute... wait a minute... there are quilts and food, these are not loaded yet!"
King Sushen was forcibly dragged out of the hall, still thinking about bringing daily necessities.
"It's too late, my king. The Qin army has already begun to attack the city. We have to run out before the city is broken!"
The general pulled him without turning his head. Not only did he not mean to slow down, he actually walked faster.
"boom……"
From the direction of the city gate, explosions continued to sound, and huge plumes of smoke filled the sky.
If they go to pack up supplies now, the Qin Army's sword will probably be on their shoulders before they can finish packing!
"boom……"
"boom……"
After a few words, Meng Tian ordered the attack on the city.
"Come on...!"
The soldiers' eyes were shining brightly and they rushed forward bravely.
Because this is the last stop of their expedition, as long as they win here, they can go home!
"Everyone divide into small teams to see if there are any remaining troops in the city!"
After entering the city, just like when he attacked Fuyu City, Meng Tian dispersed his troops and swept the whole city, while he led people to the royal city to capture King Sushen!
However, after arriving at the palace, they found that the building was deserted, leaving only a half-dead old man!
"Looking at his clothes, he must be no ordinary person!"
The deputy general looked up and down, stared at the old man for a long time, pinched his chin and said jokingly.
At this time, the old man was lying on the couch unable to move, but his expression was enough to express his shock at this time.
His lips opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something, but whether because he was too weak or too frightened, he didn't make any sound.
"Go and find out if there is anyone alive in the palace!"
"yes!"
Meng Tian gave the order, and a soldier rushed to do it.
In about a quarter of an hour, he returned with two attendants who had hunched shoulders.
"General, everyone in the palace has fled. Only these two attendants were left hiding in the firewood pile. We dug them out!"
The soldier loosened his grip and threw the two men to the ground.
The two cowered and knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.
"Have you ever asked them, when did the people in this palace leave and where did they go? Who is the old man left behind?"
Meng Tian glanced at the people on the ground.
"General, I asked, but they didn't understand what I was saying at all, so they just shrunk their necks and waved their hands with fear on their faces!"
When this was mentioned, the soldiers grimaced.
The language barrier is really a big obstacle and it’s so hard to communicate!
"Okay, let me do it!"
The deputy general pushed the grim-faced young soldier away, and he gesticulated with the two solemn attendants, and from time to time pointed at the old man behind him.
After a while, the results finally came.
The lieutenant stood up slowly and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I'm so damn tired. I've been babbling for a long time, but I finally figured it out!"
"Does that make it clear?"
Meng Tian watched their gestures from the side the whole time. Not only did he not understand at all, but he was even more confused than before.
However, this kid actually made it clear?
"Yes, I understand...!"
The lieutenant grinned and said with a smile: "These two guys said that everyone in Sushen Palace has ran away!"
While talking, he also used two fingers to make a running gesture on the other hand.
Meng Tian suddenly remembered that these two attendants had indeed made such a gesture just now.
"Where have you gone?"
"Going north, into the snowy mountains!"
"Oh? How do you know this?"
Meng Tian couldn't help but be curious.
Escape can be expressed with gestures, but how did you know about entering the snow mountain?
"Isn't this simple? They first gestured to fall from the sky, then hugged their shoulders, trembling all over to express coldness, and pointed to the north. Doesn't that mean they went all the way north, towards the snow-capped mountains in the uninhabited land?"
The lieutenant explained with a smile.
Meng Tian thought about it, this is really what happened!
I didn't expect that this kid, who is usually dumbfounded, is actually very talented in this area!
"Then why do you leave this old man here? What is his identity?"
Meng Tian pointed at the old man on the bed who was breathing rapidly and seemed likely to die at any time.
"He is the escaped King Fuyu!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Meng Tian couldn't help but be surprised.
Knowing that King Fuyu had come to seek refuge with Sushen, he did not expect that all of them ran away, except for him.
What was even more unexpected was that King Fuyu turned out to be an old man with gray hair and only one breath left!
"General, when I pointed at the old man, they kept gesturing what to wear on their heads. Then they pointed in the direction of Fuyu and stretched out three fingers. One of them pointed at the old man, and the other two blocked it with their hands. The expression of a dead man, according to my estimation, even after this gang came, they were no longer welcome, several died, and only this old man was left, leaving him to fend for himself!"
This information was understood by the deputy general from the gestures of the two attendants.
It should be said or not, it is really accurate and there is nothing wrong with it!
