Liu Yi nodded and saw Xiao Huanglin take people to hand over all the cattle and sheep they had looted to the cook to make rice, and in the interval between eating, everyone grabbed the dry food in one hand, bit the beef they had shared, and looked at the 100,000 mu of rice fields around the fire with a depressed expression, and said with envy, "You say, what kind of place is this eastern suburbs?"

"Why can't rice be grown in August and September in other places, but it can be grown here?"

"And the cattle and sheep raised here are so strong, and the food of these cattle is better than that of our army!" said a small soldier with a mouthful of oil as he bit a large piece of meat.

"I also heard that the villagers here not only do not pay taxes, but also have food to share, which is better than the treatment of soldiers. Another soldier smacked and said, "You said that such a big granary of the Chu State, why has no one found out about it!"

"Is it strange?"

Everyone was puzzled, but some people gathered in front of the fire, a pair of eyes reflected the soaring firelight, and the essence shimmered, "I saw the altar of Houtu (the god of spring and autumn, the god of the land) Niangniang in the village, this must be the blessed land of Houtu from heaven! Otherwise, how could the land here grow two crops of rice a year, and it could avoid this year's flood?"

At that time, people believed that the harvest of the land had its own destiny,

Hearing this, the soldiers nodded frequently.

"That is, only with the blessing of Hou Tu Niang Niang, can there be such a good land. ”

Liu Yi sat on the ridge in the distance and bit the big leg of lamb in his hand, tore off a large piece of meat, watched the boats on the river bank in the distance light up the lights, and slowly left, listening to the gossip of everyone.

And some people say that this Cheng Ling Yin ...... Oh, no! I'm wrong, now Ling Yin is the "adult" of our family, and that Cheng Youyou disciple is a "traitor"!" Xiao Bing's gritted teeth when he said "traitor" caused everyone to burst into laughter.

And he continued, "It's just that this rebel monster is weird, too good at pleasing people, many people in Yingdu say that he is the reincarnation of Hebo, and that this year, several counties and villages, Jiangxia County, and several counties and villages have avoided the flood...... And the eastern suburbs are the territory of Cheng Hebo's protection, and none of us are allowed to step in, and the four divine beasts on this water are sent by Hebo to guard the eastern suburbs, so when he saw us breaking into this land, disrespectful, Hebo naturally became angry, sent divine beasts to attack us, and did not allow us to step into the eastern suburbs for a step......"

The soldiers whispered, and for a time, all kinds of gods and ghosts of "Eastern Suburbs", "Hebo", "Divine Beasts" and "Heavenly Punishment" were everywhere, and the army's heart was turbulent, and the soldiers had no intention of fighting.

A laugh as cold as a blade rang out, interjecting into the chatter of the crowd.

"Cheng Hebo, huh?"

"The blessed land he sheltered?"

When everyone heard this voice, they immediately silenced in fear, knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, only to see him staring gloomily at the rice fields in the distance, as if he saw that the young man used to be his wife's lover, "Then burn it for Ben Lingyin!"

"I'm here to see if it's blessed or dead!"

"Burned?"

Many soldiers were stunned when they heard this, and stammered, "But, Ling Yin, this is the granary of the Chu State." ”

"Heaven blessed the land again......"

"If you burn it, there will be a great disaster. ”

Everyone tightened the meat in their hands, and some generals continued, "And there is a shortage of food in the country, relying on this food, everyone can live better this winter and not starve...... "If there is no food in a country, not only the people are suffering, but the soldiers are also miserable."

"Granary, what?"

Ruo Ao Yuejiao's thick eyebrows were slightly raised, and a strong murderous aura flashed in his eyes, faintly coming from him.

When his words fell, all the soldiers were silent, no one dared to speak out, and said one more thing, the last time the palace arrested the princess was fruitless, and many people died......

Everyone knelt quietly and listened, only listening to him, "Since they have moved all the grain, what is the use of us keeping it, do you want to stay one by one as fertilizer?"

When this sentence fell, all the soldiers were scared and shook their heads not to become fertilizer.

Liu Yi clenched the chopsticks in his hand, and his knuckles floated with a layer of cyan.

He gently put down the bowl in his hand, got up, stepped out, stepped forward, looked at him and said, "But if Lord Yin burns the eastern suburbs, and when we return to Yingdu, the courtiers will definitely make trouble again when they hear about it, and they will all oppose your lordship's decree; ”

"Am I afraid of them making trouble?"

Ruo Ao Yuejiao's eyes were slightly cold, and suddenly the wolf looked back, Sen Leng's gaze fell on him, and he smiled coldly, "If they really dare to make trouble, I really look up to it, but it's a pity that they are a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"This ......"

Liu Yi was forced to look at him, and said slightly, although Yue Jiao was just a self-proclaimed Ling Yin, but the aura of a strong man in the world on his body made him dare not face it, so he could only lower his head and listen to him continue, "What's more, the world is not chaotic, what can this order Yin do to calm the world?!"

"Are you one of those stupid guys?"

"Defend a lonely city, and then wait for the rebels to kill you?"

"Then it's better to let this Chu country be in chaos again, and we will have a lot to do. ”

Liu Yi saw Yue Jiao walking towards him step by step, his expression was cold, a bloodthirsty smile was hooked at the corner of his mouth, and his big hand was pressed on the long knife, "What do you say, Liu Yi?"

Liu Yi couldn't help but retreat slightly, until he retreated to a ridge, there was no way to retreat, the scabbard on his waist collided violently with the armor with a "clang", and his palms were wet.

Then, suddenly, he knelt in front of him with a "bump".

bowed his head and surrendered, "The adult is the great husband in the world, Liu is also ashamed of himself, and he is willing to be a pawn for the adult, and walk before and after the saddle!"

"Okay, you are the first person who can dare to speak in Ben Ling Yin!" Ruo Ao Yuejiao's big hand landed on his shoulder and slapped it heavily, "This courage is also better than these wine and naan rice bags, then tonight you will burn the entire eastern suburbs for Ben Ling Yin, and drag them down until the army gathers tomorrow!"

Liu Yi groaned, "Yes, Lord Ling Yin!"

……

As night fell, the fog shrouded the eastern suburbs again, danger was quietly born, the advantage of the crossbow began to gradually lose at this moment, the unclear ahead, and the lurking enemy, so that Huang Yuwei clenched the cross bow on his arm and the sword in his hand, did not speak, and paid full attention to the wolf army in the darkness who temporarily collected the troops and went back to eat.

I don't know when it will make a comeback.

The arrows inserted upside down on the ground with the building boat as the center drew a 1,200-step survival radius circle, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities outside the circle stepped forward again, ordered to cut down the hay and pile it outside the dock, and took turns to step forward and shout to the Huo Dao behind the arrows, "We ordered Yin to say: If you don't hand over the princess and food, we will burn the entire eastern suburbs and raze this place!"

All that was answered was a silent raising of the shield and the crossbow.

Pull the trigger.

Launch again!

Naturally, everyone on the boat in the distance also heard Yue Jiao's threat, and saw someone standing in front of the haystack, holding a torch high and starting to light it.

However, in the burning wharf in the eastern suburbs, except for the shouts of killing, there was not a trace of people's cries and begs for mercy.

Someone on the shore held a torch to illuminate the field of vision ahead for Ruo Ao Yuejiao, and said, "My lord, their building boat seems to be turning, isn't it about to retreat?"

"Want to escape?"

Ruo Ao Yuejiao stood solemnly with a horizontal knife, the long knife was bright and cold, standing silently on the chariot, seeing the figure of the snow-white fox Qiu flying away from the ocean, looking at Liu Yi and saying, "Liu Yi, you lead 10,000 soldiers and horses of the five cities to attack the Phoenix Yuwei from the left side with a fire attack, Zhao Xing leads 10,000 Ruo Ao to attack head-on, and the remaining 10,000 people follow Meng Yi to grab the boat from the right side!"

"Fight!"

"If you let go of the rebel party again, you don't have to live!"

The crowd obeyed.

Liu Yi had a calm face, clenched the reins of the horse, held a torch in his hand, and Zhao Xing and Meng Yi lined up, leading the left, center and right wings of the soldiers and horses above the Jinghou Field, and then only listened to an order, with the momentum of thunder, he and Meng Yi took the lead in launching a fierce attack from both sides of the eastern suburbs, and the black wolf flag swaggered behind them to cover the sky and rushed into the eastern suburbs.

In the shouting of killing, the building ships lined up, all the crossbowmen turned the base of the crossbow, and the sixty-four crossbows were arranged in two straight lines and columns, spreading out in a fan-shape, radiating the entire eastern suburbs of the three-way army, in the rain of guns and arrows, some people fell, and some people crossed and rushed into the dock.

The Hou Feng flag on the mast shook violently.

The wind chimes hanging on the chamber "ding" sounded crisply, and the west wind rose.

After Yue Jiao issued an order, Mi Huang also issued an order, "The west wind rises, the rocket is ready!"

All the crossbowmen ignited the kerosene arrows at the same time, and sparks flew everywhere.

"Launch!"

Instead of letting Yue Jiao ruin this place, it is better for her to end it, start again with her, and also create the illusion that there is no food here, they don't care, so as to lower Yue Jiao's vigilance.

The brutal iron horsemen swept across the land, the crossbow arrows lit up the sky, the sky was full of color, and the sparks splashed on the ground, falling on the field without a trace, and every time the horse's hooves fell, a farmland that had been toiled for a whole year turned into a wilderness again, and every time the rocket fell, a home that carried the peace of the homeless people was drowned in the fire, and every time the blade fell, the voices that called out to her "lady" were choked.

Feng Bo was angry, and Zhu Rong (the god of fire) flew down.

The blue waves of the rolling rice fields are full of red sparks, rising wildly with the wind, as if they want to swallow the whole land, the sea of fire is full of sky, the smoke is filled with mountains, straight into the sky, the smoke covers the sky, the starlight of the night sky, in an instant by the fire stratus clouds obscured all the light, a volcano rises rapidly in the thick smoke, from the eastern suburbs to the surrounding mountains, reflecting the whole sky of Jingnan.

……

Cheng Xian'er and Cheng Qingqing, Li's, Mrs. Zhao and other ladies stayed in the cabin and hugged each other tightly, as well as Mizhuang and Cheng Fei in their arms, and said in their mouths, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Everything will pass......

They had never seen such a terrible war in their lives, and when they looked out of the porthole, there was only an endless sea of fire, and everywhere there were broken swords and bloody roars of warriors, and the sound was deafening.

Wearing armor and holding swords, Huang Yuwei died in every corner of the docks in the eastern suburbs, buying the last time for their departure, and the shouts and sorrows came from behind them, sounded, and fell, replacing the laughter and tranquility that had been here, and becoming the concern of many people day and night in the future.

The river rose with the wind and waves, the hull of the ship, the iron cable swayed, the waves rolled under the feet, and the people and villagers who had not yet crossed the river stood on the iron cable on the bow deck, and immediately fell into chaos, unable to advance or retreat.

From time to time, someone falls into the water, and the sound of "poof" sounds.

Under the boat, there are boats swimming back and forth, shuttling, constantly sending people to the boat, or to the other side of the river.

Aunt Li stood on the deck, looking at the raging fire burning in the eastern suburbs, and wanted to go back, but time could not be delayed, Jing'an and people kept urging behind her, the building ship was about to set sail, and she was not the only one who stopped and looked back at the home that was engulfed by the fire.

They looked at each other's fathers, elders, husbands and wives around them, unwilling to leave, and shed tears one after another.

Everyone was crying.

And anger.

After three years of war and natural disasters, this year, they finally settled down.

But overnight, their homes were destroyed, the war broke out again, and they had to leave overnight, and once again embarked on the road of exile, becoming homeless refugees, Aunt Li and the others stood on the deck and asked Su Cong, crying, pleading, "Master Su, do we really want to leave?"

"This is our home!"

"We're out of here, where else can we go?"

"Will we ever be able to come back?"

……

"Yes, the lady promises that you can come back in the future, rebuild your home, and become permanent residents here!"

Su Cong had never used all his strength to say a word, in order to stop the liquid in his eyes from falling, wide open, unblinking, the fire reflected the sky and the faces of all of them, and finally nodded with difficulty, silently watching this piece of heaven and earth they had created with one hand just like this, under the fire of Yue Jiao, burned to the ground.

It's like someone using a ruthless knife and pen to slash it out on the bamboo slips of history, erasing the traces of its former existence.

The blazing fire could be seen in the surrounding cities.

There were even guards on the city of Yingdu, who were not sure what the big battle was, so they lit a beacon fire, and the whole city entered a state of martial law, and the people stood in their own courtyard walls and looked at the fire in the east, falling into great fear.

"Is the lady back?"

Lao Wan and the others rushed into the street and exclaimed.

The fire in the distance seemed to signal the return of someone, but it was more of a fear.

Bu Yin also stood in the Taimiao, looking at the sky-high fire and smoke covering the sky of Yingdu, floating from the east, and the fine fly ash gently fell on the monument in front of the Taimiao.

On this, there was another emperor's name not long ago: King Chu Mu, surnamed Mi, Xiong, a famous merchant, and the eldest son of King Chu Cheng.

Mi Huang stood in the chamber, retracted his gaze to look at the eastern suburbs and Yingdu, his fists were clenched, his eyes were as solid as stone, his chest was like fire, it seemed that a stream of lava burst out with the fire sweeping all over the sky, his lips tightened, swallowed tears, and issued a final order, "The whole army retreats!"

"Go to Phoenix Mountain!"

Huang Yuwei, who had been holding on to the rear, glanced at the sea of fire in front of him, his eyes were red, he clenched the sword in his hand, and shouted, "We swear, we will come back!" Finally, on such a day, with the howling north wind, it swept the ground, taking away those brave hearts belonging to the young warriors, trekking away, taking away all the forbearance of the past.

Jing'an led the people to quickly release the ropes, pulled them upstairs and the boat to leave.

At the last moment of leaving the eastern suburbs, everyone looked back for the last time, looking at the black wolf flag that was spreading in the fire, looking at the dense Ruoao rebels on the shore, and even more at the corpses that were all over the ground, bleeding and fluttering, staining the reeds on the edge of Yunmengze.

Everyone stood on the boat and looked back at the 30,000 wolf army on the other side and the tall men they were surrounding, and deeply remembered his name "Ruoao Yue Jiao", which brought all these tribulations to the entire Chu State.

Someone stood softly behind her and whispered, "Look no further, we'll be back!"

"This place doesn't belong to him!"

"He got it, but he couldn't keep it!"

"Well, we'll be back, get it all back!"

Mi Huang inhaled lightly and nodded heavily.

It's everyone's work.

She's not alone.

On the edge of the dock, there was a person with a relieved smile on his face, holding on to the huge wound in his abdomen, gasping in pain, but he kept smiling and watching them cross the sea of fire, and said silently: "I'm waiting for you to come back in Yingdu!"

When the sun finally jumped out of the horizon, sprinkling thousands of golden lights, the four building ships in a calm water, at a speed beyond this era, the cloud sails soared, the huge body was like four giant dragons, whales swallowed the sea, chopping waves and cutting waves, moving forward, stepping on the Central Plains hinterland thousands of miles away Zheng Guo, riding the wind and waves, crossing the line of fire.

Such a swift speed made the army standing on the shore marvel and scold, Xiao Huanglin looked at the building boat from a distance, turned his head and asked, "Captain, what should we do? How do we explain to Ling Yin." ”

Liu Yi glanced at Xiao Huanglin, his eyes suddenly sank, and he pulled out the sharp arrow still stuck in his waist, the wound cracked, the flesh and blood rolled up, the blood mist splattered all over his body, and he vomited blood in his mouth, "This can be explained...... All of our five-city soldiers and horses have done their best, but the Phoenix Feather Guard is brave and brave and not afraid of death, we are invincible!"

When the words fell, he fell to the ground with serious injuries.

"Captain!"

Xiao Huanglin and the leaders had red eyes, and they all shouted and pounced on Liu Yi.

The sun was shining like gold in the sky, piercing the fog.

But the golden sunlight fell on everyone's faces, leaving only stains of blood and embarrassment.

The war has burned to the eastern suburbs, the blade of the snow has been sharpened, the fire of anger has been planted, Yuejiao has been defeated, 150,000 troops gathered in Yingdu, the whole city is under martial law, no one is allowed to go out of the city, pillow Ge wait for the Quartet to fight, a domestic war, with the butcher knife he raised, split the curtain of the domestic war in Dachu.
