When Meng Tian led the people to the palace of the king of Chu, he saw that the northeast corner of the palace was blazing with flames, and the black smoke was billowing and almost covering the entire palace. And there were constant maids and chamberlains running out of the palace, and everyone was bulging, and it seemed that they must have stolen a lot of treasures from the palace.

There were no more forbidden troops in the palace, all the forbidden troops did not know where they went, and there was no one left. Meng Tian has no time to think about this matter, and the most important thing now is to put out the fire.

"A thousand men went and sealed all the exits of the whole palace, and not a single person in the palace could be let go. The other 1,000 men went with me to put out the fire in the palace. ”

All the cavalry of the Mengjia army dismounted, and then 1,000 people guarded the horses outside the palace and blocked the exit of the palace, and 1,000 people followed Meng Tian into the palace to find water to put out the fire.

Meng Tian, the royal palace of the Qin State, can walk all over with his eyes closed, and now when he arrives at the palace of the king of Chu, he can't find a place to release water dragons at all, and the fire in the palace is getting stronger and stronger, if it spreads to other places, it will be really a big deal.

"Go, get that person for me, and ask him where the palace is where the water dragon is placed?" Meng Tian searched everywhere but couldn't find anything that could put out the fire, he saw a sneaky man wearing the clothes of an inner servant, so he asked his men to arrest him and let him lead him to find a place to store firefighting tools.

The palace has become a mess, all the chamberlains and maids and the palace forbidden army who did not leave are searching around the palace for gold and silver treasures that can be taken away, and there are even bold forbidden troops who directly break into the harem, rape the princess of Chu State, and then take away all the valuable things in the palace.

It was only after the news that the Qin army entered the city and the Qin army went directly to the palace came, this chaos was alleviated, after all, money is not as important as your own net worth and life. However, when everyone saw a group of murderous Qin troops in the palace, they made a detour from afar, for fear of being caught by the Qin army and losing their lives.

There is such an unlucky ghost, who was seen by Meng Tian and let people catch him. When he was thrown in front of Meng Tian by Qin Jun, this person's legs were weak, and he knelt in front of Meng Tian and cried.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, General Ben won't kill you, as long as you tell me where the water dragon is stored, General Ben will let you go. Meng Tian looked at the waiter who was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and knew that he was crying.

The waiter didn't seem to hear Meng Tian's words clearly, and still lay on the ground and cried vigorously.

"Damn, it's over, isn't it!" Meng Tian drew the sword in his hand and put it on the neck of the chamberlain.

The sound of the sword unsheathed and the sudden chill on the neck stopped the waiter's crying. He raised his head tremblingly, looking at Meng Tian and not daring to speak.

"Hey, the general asks you something, tell me quickly. The soldiers beside Meng Tian shouted towards the inner attendant.

The chamberlain stammered, "The villain said...... What do you mean?"

"Let me ask you where are the fire-fighting appliances in the palace? ”

The chamberlain heard Meng Tian's words clearly, he stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction, and said, "The artifact hall where the water dragon is stored is in that place. ”

There are thousands of rooms in the palace, and who knows which house this chamberlain is talking about. Meng Tian had the chamberlain take him to get something to put out the fire, and then he went to the place where the fire was burning in the palace.

Although the place where the fire caught fire was a corner of the royal palace, it was clear that this place should have been a large hall before, but I don't know what this hall was used for.

The soldiers of the Mengjia army rushed to the fire with a water dragon to extinguish the fire, but fortunately, there was a water source not far from the main hall. A thousand people worked together to extinguish the fire in no time.

After extinguishing the fire, Meng Tian clapped his hands and washed his face with water in a bucket that had not been emptied. After washing his face, Meng Tian asked the soldiers to go inside the palace to check, and then he saw the captured chamberlain.

Meng Tian walked in front of the inner servant, just now when Qin Jun was fighting the fire, this inner servant knelt directly on the ground, Meng Tian didn't know why he knelt, at this time the fire had been extinguished, Meng Tian was a little curious.

"Why did you kneel on the ground just now? Could it be that there is something valuable in this temple?"

The chamberlain sat on the ground and replied, "This palace is a palace dedicated to the first king of Chu, and all the people visited inside are the spiritual seats of the first king of Chu. "Goshoya

Meng Tian sighed, it turns out that this is the case, no wonder this place is on fire. Meng Tian was just about to speak, when an exclamation suddenly came from the burned hall.

Meng Tian looked towards the main hall, and from the main hall, several Qin soldiers carried a black thing out. Meng Tian walked over to take a closer look, only to find that it was actually a person who was carried out, but it seemed that this person was dead, and the fire did not burn his body, but only blackened him.

"King!" a cry came from behind him, the voice of the chamberlain just now.

However, when the word king came out of his mouth, Meng Tian looked at the corpse on the ground, could it be that this person was the king of Chu?

The chamberlain ran over crying and cried, lying on top of the corpse, and kept shouting the word "king" in his mouth.

"You say he is the King of Chu?" Meng Tian was a little unconvinced, how could the King of Chu be burned to death in his palace?

The chamberlain raised his head and looked at Meng Tian, and then said: "It's not wrong, he is the king, I have been with the king for several years, and I remember the king's figure very clearly." With that, he pulled up the outermost layer of the corpse's unburned clothes, revealing the delicately embroidered clothes inside. "This is what the king often wears. ”

Looking at the patterns on his clothes, Meng Tian believed what this servant said, it seems that this corpse is really the king of Chu, but why did he die here, so how did this fire start?

At this time, Wang Jian led a large number of people such as Mi Tao to rush over, and Wang Jian was also relieved to see that the fire was extinguished.

Meng Tian saw Wang Jian coming, walked up to him and told him about the king of Chu being burned to death in the fire, which surprised Wang Jian and Qi Tao and others.

"Is this really the King of Chu?" asked Wang Jian to Mi Tao beside him.

Qi Tao also couldn't believe that the king of Chu would be burned to death in the fire, and he bent down to examine the body carefully. After inspecting the clothing and body shape on the corpse, Mi Tao took a deep breath and said to Wang Qian: "This person is indeed the King of Chu, there is no doubt that this person is indeed the King of Chu, when he was young, the King of Chu's shoulder was injured, and there was a scar on his shoulder, and there was also a wound on this corpse, so there is no doubt that it is the King of Chu." ”

I didn't expect the king of a country to die in a fire, which makes people regret. All the ministers of Chu State present were silent, looking at the negative man who had bowed to worship not long ago, and now lying in front of him, still burned beyond recognition by the fire, this feeling was really indescribable.

Wang Jian looked at Meng Yi, "The King of Chu died like this, I don't know how the king dealt with the King of Chu in the first place?"

Meng Yi replied to Wang Jian and said: "The king didn't think about killing the king of Chu at the beginning, but said that if the king of Chu is willing to sacrifice the city and surrender, then the king will let him lead his queen and princess to move to Xianyang, and the king will let the king of Chu live well in Xianyang City." It's just that now that the king of Chu is dead, I have no choice but to report back to the king according to the truth, and the king will decide. ”

"It's so helpless, so let's do as you say. Wang Jian said.

The king of Chu set himself on fire, and the state of Chu was basically defeated, although there were still many cities of the state of Chu that had not been defeated, but in front of the army of the state of Qin, these were no longer a problem.

However, there are still a lot of things to do in Shouchun City, appeasing the people in the city, collecting the remaining Chu troops in the city, and distributing military salaries to hundreds of thousands of Qin troops. Meng Tian, who was originally going to lead his troops north to join the King of Qin in Handan, couldn't get out, and together with Meng Yi, he assisted Wang Jian to calm down all the affairs of the Chu State.

However, when the Chu army in the city was absorbed, Meng Tian found a strange thing, originally there should be nearly 100,000 Chu troops in the city, and when the people below reported the roster of the Chu army, Meng Tian only saw that the number of Chu troops on the roster was less than 50,000. Even if some people in the Chu army are unwilling to continue to be soldiers, it is one thing to lose half, but the number of people in the city is also recorded, there are 50,000 fewer soldiers, but the number of people is only less than 2,000 more, which is very strange, that is to say, nearly 50,000 Chu troops disappeared in the city.

If this incident is true, it is not a trivial matter, and after learning about this incident, Meng Tian hurriedly reported it to Wang Qian. Wang Qian, who got the news, also felt that something was not right, and Xiang Yan, the leading commander of the Chu army, and the people of the Xiang clan all disappeared.

Wang Jian felt that these two events should not be a coincidence, but as if they were premeditated. But Shouchun City was surrounded by 500,000 Qin troops, and it was undoubtedly more difficult for Xiang Yan to break through with 50,000 Chu troops than to ascend to the sky, so how did he disappear with 50,000 Chu troops?

Originally, Meng Tian wanted to personally unearth this matter, but the edict of King Yingzheng of Qin arrived, asking him to march north with Meng Yi and join him in Handan. Meng Tian, who received the edict, had to hand over the matter to Wang Qian, and led the Meng family army with his younger brother Meng Yi to Handan.

Not long after Meng Tian arrived in Handan, Wang Qian's express news came that the Chu general Xiang Yan led an army of 50,000 to support Changping Jun as king in the land of South Vietnam, and continued to fight against the Qin army under the name of Chu. Ying Zheng was furious when he learned about it, and ordered Wang Jian to lead a large army to destroy the remnants of the Chu State, and the Qin State finally destroyed the Chu State.
