The moonlight was thick, and an indescribable emotion came to my heart.
Ren Xiao stood outside the tent, looking up at the moon in the sky, his eyebrows twisted into a straight line.
At this time, Zhao Tuo slowly walked up to him from a distance, also raised his head and glanced at the moon in the sky, and whispered:
"Why aren't Lieutenant Ren taking a rest? Are you worried about Mu Linzhi's words? He just ordered people to bring the artillery. You are a great person and don't remember the villain's fault. Don't worry about it."
"Why!"
Hearing this, Ren Xiao shook his head and sighed: "I regret not listening to the words of the general. I really shouldn't have attacked rashly at that time. It was my fault, and it will bring disaster to the three armies!"
"The matter has come to an end. Lieutenant Commander, please don't linger around in sorrow. You should cheer up and work hard. As long as we can get in touch with Wu Zhu, we can still work together to achieve the great cause of the South China Sea!"
Looking at Zhao Tuo who was full of confidence, Ren Xiao laughed at himself and said: "General, in all these years, we have never failed like this. Now we are at the end of the road. You still think about the great cause in your heart. It's disappointing. I admire you very much.”
Zhao Tuo said sternly: "Lieutenant, all great achievements begin when the mountains and rivers are at the end. It's good for us to do this. Apart from the heads on our necks, we have nothing to lose. From now on, we will only prosper and grow every day." It’s a gain.”
These words shocked Ren Xiao's heart.
It’s well said, all great undertakings begin when things are at the end of their rope.
Their families have been captured by Zhao Hao, and they really have nothing more to worry about.
These words really encouraged Ren Xiao, and his previous self-blame for the failure instantly dissipated a lot.
"General, you are right. From today on, we will gain every day. It can never be worse than now."
After the words fell, Shi Lu came over and saw Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao together. The first thing he said was: "The two generals are here, so it saves the last one an extra trip. According to the report from the spies, the translator called Song They have brought 20,000 Xiou troops to defect to us!"
"Is Yi Xusong defecting to us?"
Zhao Tuo's eyes lit up and he laughed loudly: "I thought he would surrender to Zhao Hao, but I didn't expect that Zhao Hao wouldn't tolerate him. It turned out that Minyue wouldn't tolerate him either, so he came to join us. It seems that he was desperate! Wow! God! It's a great thing, I'll go meet him!"
After saying that, he got up and walked outside the tent.
Yi Xusong's desperate defection was nothing short of shocking good news for Zhao Tuo. He felt that he and Yi Xu Song were on the same side. The original plan to besiege and kill Zuan was also to allow Yi Xu Song to successfully take the throne. However, the false news that Yi Xusong surrendered to Zhao Hao caused a rift between him and Yi Xu Song, and they did not cooperate further.
Now that both of them are desperate, there is no problem in working together again. After all, no one can live without the other.
Moreover, the 20,000 Xiou troops in Yi Xusong's hands, plus the more than 20,000 rebels in his hands, and the thousands of soldiers and horses brought by Mu Lin, could even attack Linchen City again.
What I said was right, every day that follows will be rewarding.
The only one who was uneasy was probably Ren Xiao.
He knew Wang Jian too well. It was impossible for Wang Jian to release so many Yue troops.
When these Yue people come back, they will definitely remember their encirclement and killing of Zuo'an.
Especially now that they are cornered, they can easily be tricked by the other party.
"I wish I'd thought more about it."
Ren Xiao muttered silently to himself, and then followed Zhao Tuo out of the military camp.
On the other side, the Minyue Palace.
Wu Zhu looked at Prime Minister Ji Su, frowning and remaining silent.
After a long while, Ji Su said helplessly: "Your Majesty, although this plan is a bit risky, it does not miss an opportunity. If Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao can really succeed, we will not have to surrender to Qin."
"But if they fail, wouldn't that mean they have offended Qin? If we want to become vassals at that time, will Qin give us a chance?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Even if they fail, Qin will not blame us, because we did not send troops. It was Yi Xusong who led the troops, and it has nothing to do with us."
"and."
As he said that, he paused and continued: "We have withdrawn all the guards on the Shipu side, which can be regarded as an expression of our sincerity to Qin. Even when Han Xin led his troops to leave the camp, we did not take the opportunity to attack. Qin What excuse does the country have to blame us?”
"this"
Wu Zhu was at a loss for words, and seemed to make some sense.
The next moment, a palace attendant came out and saluted: "Your Majesty, Doctor Mu Kui wants to see you!"
"Um?"
Wu Zhu twisted his eyebrows and looked at Ji Su subconsciously.
But Ji Su smiled slightly and said: "Doctor Mu has always advocated showing goodwill to the Qin State. He must have learned about His Majesty's order and wants to come to His Majesty to ask for an explanation!"
"Then how should I respond?"
"Listen to what he has to say first, and then make a decision!"
"good!"
Wu Zhu nodded, and then waved his hand: "You go down first, and I will listen!"
"yes!"
Ji Su responded and left the palace.
Soon, Mukui was admitted into the palace by Wu Zhu.
"Chen Mukui, pay your respects to the king!"
Wu Zhu put down his brush pretending to be nonchalant and said calmly: "Doctor Mu, is there something wrong?"
Mu Kui said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, you gave me the full power to deal with the matter of surrendering to Qin before. I have worked hard for several days, and the gold and jade are all ready. Even with the beauty matter, there is still no progress;
The beauties offered from all over the country cannot even impress the old ministers. How can we satisfy the people of Qin? "
As soon as he heard this, Wu Zhuqi couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said: "Forget it, since there is no suitable one, then don't humiliate yourself. What's more, we don't only have this way!"
"Ah? This"
Mu Kui pretended not to know and widened his eyes, then cried bitterly: "Could it be that your Majesty wants to pull the whole country to fight to the death with the Qin people? If the Qin people become ruthless, we, Fujian and Yue, will really be gone. Your Majesty, think twice, and you must not let your ancestors down." This foundation.”
"Who said that this king will lead the whole country to fight to the death with the Qin people?"
"Could it be that the king, like the old minister, has a good candidate?"
"Um?"
Wu Zhu was stunned for a moment, seeming a little baffled.
From the moment Mukui stepped into the palace, he didn't say a word to Wu Zhu about translating the Song Dynasty. This made Wu Zhu not only filled with doubts, but also curious.
Wu Zhu asked: "Who is the candidate? What is Doctor Mu talking about?"
A flash of hesitation flashed in Mu Kui's eyes, and he stammered: "Yes, yes."
"What is it! Say it quickly!"
Wu Zhu patted the desk impatiently.
A flash of confusion flashed across Mu Kui's face, and then he said with a righteous tone: "It's the king's sister, Princess Yingluo!"
"presumptuous!"
Wu Zhu was furious, as if he had been greatly insulted, and overturned the desk in front of him.
Mu Kui was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed in apology: "Your Majesty, calm down your anger. Your Majesty, calm down your anger. If you want to kill me or chop me into pieces, please let me finish my words!"
"If it weren't for the sake of your son's loyalty to the country, I would definitely let you die without a burial today!"
"Your Majesty, if the death of my son can bring peace to Minyue, I will let him sacrifice without hesitation. However, my son is not a princess after all.
Now that the princess can be sacrificed to protect the whole country of Fujian and Yue, what is the king hesitating about?
In the past, in order to restore the country, Gou Jian could bend over to the enemy's country and taste the enemy's feces. Our king is also the first generation of British masters in Fujian and Yue, why can't we give up a trace of family affection like our ancestors? ! "
"you you you"
Wu Zhu was so angry that Mu Kui was so angry that he trembled all over. He suddenly drew the sword on his waist and shouted angrily, "Shut up to me! If you dare to say more, I will kill you!"
"I have just said that I don't have to give up my son for the sake of this country. I don't regret this life. It's just that the king usually thinks of himself as Gou Jian, the king of Yue. He wants to be a hero like Gou Jian. I think of Fan Li and his literary skills. It seems that There’s nothing wrong with that!”
As he spoke, Mu Kui showed no fear, and even looked directly at Wu Zhu who was holding a sharp sword with a look of death: "Your Majesty wants to kill me. I don't mind being the first to see my ancestors. I'm just afraid that your country will be ruined and your family will be destroyed in the future. I have no face to face my ancestors!”
"you!"
Wu Zhu was so angry at these words that his face turned red and his neck was thick. Finally, he yelled and hit the rising desk with a click.
The solid wooden desk was split in half by his sword, which frightened Mu Kui so much that he broke into a cold sweat on his back.
"Get out! Get out! I don't want to see you anymore! I don't want to hear anything you say anymore!"
Wu Zhu was furious.
Mu Kui touched his head to the ground and made a thumping sound: "Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Are you leaving? Are you leaving!"
With red eyes, Wu Zhu came to Mu Kui with a sword and said hysterically: "Are you going to leave or not?"
Mu Kui plucked up the courage, stretched his neck, and put on an attitude of letting you kill and chop you, which made Wu Zhu become so angry that he threw away the sharp sword in his hand and said angrily:
"Okay! If you don't leave, I will!"
After saying that, he rushed out of the hall angrily, kicking down the palace attendant who was kneeling beside him, and then went straight to the harem.
When only Mu Kui was left in the hall, Mu Kui slowly got up from the ground, stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and said silently to himself: "Is this unbearable? When your grandfather snatched my mother away and killed her When I was my father, I was much calmer than you;
And your father, I have never forgotten the revenge of killing my mother for the sake of the throne."
at the same time.
Wu Zhu returned to the harem angrily.
As soon as he entered the harem courtyard, he felt something was wrong. He secretly thought that such a angry look would not be easily seen by the harem concubines and his children, so as not to scare them, so he turned around and walked out of the garden.
At this time, the moonlight was thick, and the flowers were extremely delicate and beautiful under the moonlight.
Some fluorescent bugs dance among the flowers, making people forget to leave.
But at this moment, Wu Zhu didn't like anything, and suddenly shouted: "Bring the sword!"
Hearing this, the guard behind him quickly took off the sword from his waist and handed it to Wu Zhu.
"You all get out of my way!"
Wu Zhu took the sword and roared.
The palace attendants, servants, and guards in the garden all looked at each other and hurriedly left the garden.
At this moment, Wu Zhu's eyes were on fire and he secretly had luck. Suddenly, he could not suppress the anger in his heart. He cut through the thorns and thorns under the moonlight, cutting off the thorny flowers and branches to the ground, startling a crowd of flying insects. .
Wu Zhu cursed loudly: "I told you to talk nonsense! Nonsense! I am not that kind of incompetent man. I will not give away my own sister in exchange for my own safety. I will preserve the inheritance of my ancestors!" It makes me so angry! It makes me so angry!"
"Mu Kui! Mu Kui! Do you think I dare not kill you? If it weren't for the sake of your son, I would have killed you long ago! I will chop you to death! I will chop you to death!"
The poor delicate flowers were chopped down by Wu Zhu and turned into a land of ruined flowers and willows. However, Wu Zhu still did not understand his hatred and trampled on the flowers vigorously.
"I will trample you to death! I will trample you selfish villains to death! I, Wu Zhu, will never compromise with you! I, Wu Zhu, am the wisest king of Yue people!"
Seeing Wu Zhu venting his anger in the flowers like crazy, the guards, palace attendants, and servants watching from a distance were all dumbfounded, wondering why the king, who has always been steady and wise, became so irritable and rude? Is it true that Minyue will be destroyed by Qin as rumored in the palace?
Thinking of this possibility, everyone was worried.
In fact, it is not surprising that Wu Zhu lost his composure. The main reason was that in the years since Wu Zhu came to the throne, the Minyue country had become prosperous, the people were prosperous, and he was well received by various tribes. Therefore, Wu Zhu had a vague feeling of being exclusive and even regarded himself as the successor of King Gou Jian of Yue. Those who dream of restoring the glory of their ancestors.
It is a pity that the First Emperor of the Central Plains not only unified the six countries of the Central Plains, but also extended his hand to the land of Baiyue.
Originally relying on the geographical advantages of the Baiyue Land, he was not afraid of the threat of the Qin people, but the battle of Songxi made him completely understand the reality.
The state of Qin was not comparable to the state of Chu back then. His dream was shattered by the Qin people before it even started, which is why he was so rude.
Fortunately, Wu Zhu still had some self-control, otherwise Mu Kui's head would have been chopped into pieces by Wu Zhu just like the flower just now.
Finally, after struggling for nearly half an hour, Wu Zhu sat down next to the bluestone, panting heavily, and threw out the sharp sword in his hand: "Get out!"
After he finished speaking, he lay down on the bluestone and closed his eyes to rest.
At this time, no one dared to come forward to disturb him, and he got a moment of peace.
However, a moment later, a slight sound of footsteps came from behind. He suddenly opened his eyes and shouted angrily, "Who asked you to come? Didn't you see that I am in a bad mood? Get out of here!"
Hearing this, there was no response from behind, but the footsteps paused slightly and then took another step. Wu Zhu couldn't help but feel confused and was about to get up to see who was so bold.
At this moment, a burst of sobbing suddenly came.
Um?
Why is this voice so familiar?
Wu Zhu reacted for a moment, his expression changed, and he suddenly stood up and looked.
I saw that pretty face under the moonlight, so bright and moving, I couldn't help but stand there blankly: "Amei? Why is it you? It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"
"Brother Wang. Wuwuwu."
"Mei, don't cry! I don't know if it's you or not. I apologize to you. Please stop crying, okay? Look at you."
Wu Zhu was at a loss and wanted to comfort Princess Yingluo. Princess Yingluo rushed directly into his arms, interrupted him and choked up: "Brother Wang was so angry that he chopped down all the flowers and trees that he usually cherished. What a pity”
"Ah, well, Brother Wang recently wanted to practice swordsmanship, but couldn't find a suitable opponent, so he used these flowers and trees to practice."
Wu Zhu's head was in chaos. He didn't know why Ying Luo appeared here, so he could only make hesitant excuses.
However, Yingluo kept her eyes fixed on her eyes and said seriously: "Brother Wang, please give Yingluo to Qin. Yingluo is willing to do anything for Brother Wang!"
"What are you talking about?"
Wu Zhu was stunned for a moment and said sternly: "Absolutely not!"
"Why? Who is Yingluo in Brother Wang's mind? I am your closest relative of flesh and blood. I am your biological sister. I am the only person in your life who is qualified to give everything for you."
Wu Zhu's face began to look a little ugly, and he helped Princess Yingluo up: "Are you feeling unwell? Go back and rest!"
"Brother Wang! Don't lie to me. You don't have a good woman to make Qin give up conquering Fujian and Yue. Just let me go! You have cared about me for so long and let me live a carefree life. I am very satisfied. of"
"That's enough! From today on, I am no longer your brother, and we have no relationship!"
"Brother Wang!"
"Without you, I can still resist the Qin army!"
With that said, Wu Zhu left Princess Yingluo behind and prepared to leave the garden.
At this moment, Mu Kui suddenly rushed out from the corner, knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, Princess Yingluo is saving us!"
"Mu Kui! You bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
Wu Zhu was furious when he saw this.
