Beihai was in chaos, just like a monk's rosary beads were broken, beads of all sizes rolled down, a storm surrounded Pingbo City, rumors spread everywhere, and the army moved frequently.
Chaoge's army has broken through Zhucheng, and will soon arrive at Pingbo and approach the city.
The first to receive these rumors were the North Sea princes who voluntarily and were voluntarily formed an alliance.
Reconnaissance cavalry and commanders from various city-states shuttled between the allied forces of princes outside Pingbo City. Even the princes in remote cities followed Gucheng and the other three Bangbo cities that were closer to Pingbo. , clearly felt the atmosphere of impending rain.
The princes all knew the news, and Yuan Futong naturally would not sit idly by, so he hosted banquets with the princes every day to tell everyone that the city was safe and not to panic.
It's just that the effect is not very good. Every day, the number of people willing to come to the city to have a drink will decrease.
If Yuan Futong's power had not become even greater, and there were still two powerful beasts sitting in Pingbo City, these princes would have dispersed and returned to their own cities to wait for the king to surrender after Yuan Futong was defeated.
Only the most die-hard princes, a dozen or so, could not get off the ship because they were too tied to Yuan Futong. Most of them saw the example of the city and the eleven cities outside the country, and still retained a trace of luck in their hearts.
"Shu Zi, I should have killed that kid right there in Yancheng. Otherwise, how could so many troubles have arisen?"
Yuan Futong was so angry that he completely forgot who he was, and he escaped with the help of a dragon and a horse under his crotch.
"Father, for some reason, this man surnamed Meng has bypassed the frontline garrison and reached all the interior areas of our Beihai. The princes in Beihai are interested, so father should have made plans early."
Yuan Futong slapped his third son Yuan Shouchuan to the ground.
"Have you planned early? How else can I plan? Then the Meng family's children will not fight with my army. Each cavalry will be divided into more than a dozen groups. They will not attack the city or fight decisively. They will just hang around the gates of the various princes' cities. What can I do? Intend?"
Yuan Shouchuan's face remained as usual, he rubbed his cheeks habitually, patted the dust on his clothes, and stood calmly beside him, quietly waiting for his father to vent his anger before communicating.
There are five sons in the Yuan family, and I don’t know since when. When his father is angry, he likes to take out his anger on others. It has become a common occurrence for the Yuan family brothers to be beaten, and it will be over if they tolerate it. If they really contradict their father, they may even be rebellious. When you get up, you have to be like the fourth child. The moment the alien beast enters the city, it has been reduced to a human sacrifice and sacrificed to the "holy beast".
"Nowadays, the princes have different thoughts. If they insist on arresting and encircling them, it will be like fetching water from a bamboo basket. The opponent will have holes to drill through."
Seeing Yuan Futong gradually calm down, Yuan Shouchuan said calmly.
"Why does my father have to endure hunger while guarding the grain mountain? The holy beast of plague has been stationed in Yicheng, and Chaoge's army cannot get through for the time being. My father should take advantage of the disloyal princes to gather their troops and kill the group of rats in advance. Blocked within the North Sea."
"You can't catch mice with humans, but you can catch them with cats!"
After calming down, Yuan Futong was still very wise, and he was keenly aware of the intentions of his third son, but every time he begged the holy beast, he had to pay a high price, which was also what he was worried about.
"How can we lightly open the Holy Beast side? Chaoge's army hasn't arrived yet, what if..."
Yuan Shouchuan was not afraid of his father's tyranny at all. He stared directly at Yuan Futong and interrupted directly: "If Chaoge's army arrives, will my Yuan family still have a way to survive?"
"When my father decided to follow the advice of the 'Holy Beasts', why didn't he think about today and the tragic sacrifice of ten thousand people in Pingbo City? But now it's for those untouchables. Why, my father is grateful for mercy again?"
"I just told my father that when you take this step, there will be no turning back. The Yuan family has no hope. Even if you die, you have to die on the road to death. You should not die in Chaoge City. The situation of human sacrifice brings shame to the Yuan family.”
"My son, please be brave and ask your father to ask for the life of the holy beast. If the fight has reached this point, if you don't help my Yuan family, it's better for my father to surrender as soon as possible."
It was a rare opportunity for him to be contradicted. Yuan Futong was not angry. He just looked at the most intelligent third son in disbelief, looking a little sad.
"Morukawa, in fact, the holy beast has already given me a bottle of treasure, which is the beast blood of the beast. If you drink it, you can gain part of the power of the beast in a short time, but..."
Yuan Shouchuan looked at Yuan Futong in astonishment and looked at him in disbelief. He suddenly realized in his heart that he was even more miserable. No wonder his father, who had always been dictatorial, summoned him to discuss matters today. He thought that some kind father had returned, but he didn't. I thought, actually asking him to follow in the footsteps of his eldest and second brothers.
"Haha! That's it, that's it! Then please give me a glass of blood wine from my father, and I will shed the last drop of blood for my Yuan family." Perhaps there is nothing more sad than heartbreak, and nothing is better than this.
"Morukawa, have you really made up your mind? This is not a good thing. This is the demon blood brought out from the mountains and seas by the Holy Beast Zhu Yan himself. It is the blood of a ferocious beast. Once you drink it, there will be no turning back."
Yuan Shouchuan was speechless, his eyes calmed down, and he stared at his father coldly with desperate eyes, which made people feel numb.
"Well, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's just that you will die sooner or later. Just go ahead. My father will not let your sacrifice be in vain." Yuan Futong burst into tears and looked at his third son with a sad face.
The young man quietly took a bottle of scarlet animal blood, his godless eyes reflected on the red amber. Just looking at it, he seemed to hear the ferocious roars in his ears, countless strange beasts and unknown ancient wails, in the blood reflected in Yuan Shouchuan's mind.
"Give me another 10,000-ringed dog. The dog's nose is the sharpest. After catching it, I will bring back the thief's head for my father."
After hearing this, Yuan Futong also felt that it was very reasonable. He immediately took out a necklace with intertwined canine teeth from his arms, gently pulled out a canine tooth and handed it to Yuan Shouchuan.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Shouchuan grabbed his father's hand after taking the canine tooth, and his expression became gentle, as if he was remembering the time when his five brothers played and played under his father's knees when they were children.
At that time, the eldest brother was loyal and honest, and the second brother, although cunning, loved his brothers very much. His father always liked to take them to Fengshan for autumn hunting, but I don’t know when, maybe when a strange beast suddenly appeared from the Beihai Eye, all of them... People have changed, including himself.
"Father, I want to ask my father. When my eldest brother and second brother died, was my father sad?"
"Did you feel sad when your fourth brother was sacrificed to an evil beast by you?"
"If I don't come here today, will you kill me?"
Looking at his crying father, who was crying with his sleeves covered with tears streaming down his face, Yuan Shouchuan smiled.
His father didn't tell him the answer, but he didn't need to know the answer at this time, or maybe he already had the answer in his heart before he spoke.
"My son is gone. I hope my father will take care of me and achieve great success in Beihai as soon as possible and conquer the Central Plains!"
He was born as the son of the Yuan family and died as the ghost of the Yuan family. Watching the three sons leave, Yuan Futong fell weakly to the ground, staring blankly at the sun in the sky. The tears rolling down his cheeks were unknown whether they were caused by sadness or the dazzling sunlight. flow.
It was not until a long time ago that Yuan Futong slowly got up from the ground, breathed in the slightly cool autumn air, straightened his back, walked straight into the back room, closed the doors and windows tightly, and covered the room tightly, making it airtight.
Then he gently took out a crystal clear pearl from his arms.
Even though it was dark all around, the beauty of the pearl was like a colorful lamp, illuminating the entire room, reflecting Yuan Futong's obsessed and greedy look.
"Generations of descendants, hahaha, what is the use of generations of descendants? As long as ten years, as long as I can persist for ten years, after ten years of taking this fairy bead, I will be on the list of gods, obtain a noble god, and live forever from now on. To live as long as heaven and earth, hahaha, what else do I want from descendants to last for generations? I myself can be immortal for generations to come."
Ten years, the first year has just passed, and people were beaten at the door of his house. Yuan Futong suddenly looked ugly when he thought of this, carefully wrapped the fairy beads in silk cloth, and carefully put them into his arms again.
That domineering and confident Yuan Futong is back again, and there is no hint of affection between his children!
"Someone is coming!"
"Give me a message to Lincheng and ask Lao Wu to guard the border and sacrifice another 10,000 people. I respectfully ask for the help of the Great Sage Taotie! I respectfully request the help of the Holy Beast Zhu Yan!!!"
"Hou... Lord Hou, ten... ten thousand sacrifices?"
The officer was horrified and wanted to admonish him, but he never thought that Yuan Futong strangled him by the neck. His eyes were blood red, and his face was still calm and calm. He looked like a ghost or a beast, and his mouth was full of blood. There seemed to be fangs emerging, growling viciously at him.
"You dare to disobey me? If you dare to disobey me, I will sacrifice your three tribes to the Great Sage first!!"
"Nuo...Nuo!" The officer felt like his soul was about to fly away. As soon as Yuan Futong let go, he immediately rolled and crawled out of the Hou Mansion, leaving clear water-soaked footprints as he ran.
————————————————————————
Zhucheng, which is far behind Yicheng, is also trembling at the moment. Although there are plagues and disasters in the front that are blocking hundreds of thousands of Chaoge troops, behind the scenes, we hear reports of reconnaissance cavalry every day. Major cities such as Gucheng, Jicheng, and Rongcheng are The princes have hung the flags of the merchant army, and on the hills not far away, white-armored reconnaissance cavalry figures often appear, seeming to explore the reality of Zhu City.
Zhu Chengnan, Yunchengnan, and the three masters of Leicheng Guard, with a total of 50,000 troops, were displayed in Zhu City.
If the order cannot be sent within ten miles of Zhucheng, he will be shot, the messenger cannot send the order, and people from Pingbo cannot enter the radius of Zhucheng. This situation, like an isolated island in the sea, reminded Tian Chen of the situation in front of Yuncheng that day. The memories of the army’s turbulent times.
"Report!!!"
"Three Lords, the reconnaissance cavalry battalion reports that the two-headed owl just released has been killed by a 'birdman' in the sky, and the order has been robbed. I hope the three Lords will make plans early."
The City Guards sat aside like quails, not daring to say a word, and could only look at the two barons who were arguing endlessly.
With a "bang" sound, Zhu Chengnan kicked him over. As a result, he hugged his toes and hissed in pain.
"Oh, you look weak and incompetent, you are angry, what's the use of being angry? Can you get rid of the cavalry behind you?"
"You are the only one who can do it? If you are so capable, why did you lose your Yuncheng?"
After hearing this, Tian Chen's temper also rose. Which pot should not be opened?
"I have warned you and Marquis Yuan a long time ago that Mengchang has no martial ethics and is very good at using dirty tricks, so you should take precautions. How do you ridicule me? I am incompetent, and my defeated general deliberately Exaggeration! Now it’s okay, someone else has really taken care of the escape route, do you believe it now?”
Tian Chen pointed to the thick city wall and said to himself: "This kid is very good at field combat. If we go out of the city to fight with him, you and I can't defeat him, so we might as well stick to the city."
"What's wrong? Is Tian Yunnan scared of being beaten by a baby?"
"Oh, I'm afraid? Old Man Huang, I'm afraid that you are too old to stand up to someone who is young, and will be beaten to death on the battlefield!"
Huang Chong, a man from Zhucheng, showed disdain on his face: "When Naiweng went to the battlefield, your baby was still nursing. Son of the Tian family, don't think that just because you have won the title of your ancestors, you can really be an equal in front of me. Let Naiweng teach you. , what is the true art of battle formation."
After that, Zhu Chengnan left angrily. Tian Chen shook his head, frowned, and sighed. These words were familiar. He also said the same thing during the battle of Yuncheng. What was the result?
"Um...Tian Yunnan, um...shall we send out troops to help out?" the city guard who had been shrinking aside and not daring to speak asked in a low voice.
"Why are we two defeated generals joining in the fun? We just stay in the city for a while and admire our old and strong Zhu Chengnan showing off his power. Why are we in a hurry to die with him?"
"Then, what if Zhu Chengnan is defeated?"
Tian Chen rolled his eyes, left the words "Waiting to die" lightly, and then left the city.
It’s not easy to be a social worker every day, so I ask Zhongfu to follow up and post more chapters and reviews on a regular basis to enliven the index of the work.
