Chapter 974: Burning the Palace

Yes......

Yes......

The sound of fighting and screaming came from the huge palace everywhere, just listening to the sound was enough to imagine how tragic the scene was; but Zhou Chen, who was sitting on the seat of the city lord, was expressionless, as if all the sounds of the outside world were not enough to affect him; he was covered in blood and red with a magic sword, and his hand was naturally on the armrest of the city lord's seat, and occasionally his face would show a painful expression, but it disappeared in an instant.

He just sat quietly, like a sculpture.

Long.

It's quiet.

It's quiet.

"Stomp Pedal Pedal

Hurried footsteps came from outside the main hall, and a series of blood-stained figures appeared in the main hall, their faces were full of joy, as if the killing made them extremely excited; ”

"Your king, all the east halls were hanged, and no one escaped. ”

"The king, the apse captured fifty-eight wives and concubines of the city lord, twenty-one heirs, and the rest were all exterminated. ”

"King, the entire palace of Mudd City is now under our control. ”

The guards excitedly recounted that the slaughter of the entire palace by just over two hundred men was unprecedented, and that they were the victors of the battle, and that they would be passed down as if they were myths, and it was exciting to think about it.

The guards who knelt on the ground spoke excitedly, and their hearts were excited, but after a while, the king's voice was not heard. The guards were puzzled, slowly raised their heads, and looked at the king who was in a daze, everyone looked at each other, not understanding what happened to the king, they could be described as a complete victory in this battle, why the king was not happy at all.

"King. ”

One of the guards shouted cautiously, Zhou Chen took a deep breath, slowly recovered from his thoughts, nodded, and said, "This king knows, the wives and concubines and heirs of the city lord of Mudd are useless, so let them be buried with this palace!"

What the?

The guards were full of shock, they never thought that Zhou Chen would kill Mu De's wife and concubine and heirs like this, at present, the lord of Mudd City led most of the soldiers of Mudd City to attack the Troubled Stone Mountains, it is not clear how the battle will be, the king can use his wife and concubine and heirs to threaten Mu De to disarm and surrender. The tiger poison does not eat the child, no matter how ruthless the city lord of Mudd is, he must save his own heirs! Wouldn't this be an easy way to hang Mudd and the others.

With such a bargaining chip, why doesn't the king use it?

The guards did not understand, but the king's command could not be disobeyed, and since the king had given the order, they did not dare to say anything.

Zhou Chen slowly got up from the seat of the city lord, walked down the steps, and walked out of the main hall; blood was flowing everywhere outside, and the corpses were lying all over the place, if he didn't feel the slightest feeling in his heart, it was really unrealistic, but Zhou Chen understood that this was war.

War is brutal.

Either you die or I die.

For me not to die, then you can only die.

"Burn the palace. Zhou Chen was ruthless and ordered coldly.

"Yes. ”

After speaking, Zhou Chen walked resolutely towards the gate of the palace, and the guards answered, ran to various places, and began to light the fire. By the time Zhou Chen reached the gate of the city wall, the Mud's palace had already burst into flames, and Zhou Chen seemed to be able to hear heart-rending screams from inside the palace.

"Klin, this king promised that he would break the contract with your master and servant when the matter is over, and this king will fulfill the agreement, and now that all those who know the truth are dead, you can continue to stay in Mud. Zhou Chen said lightly.

"Puff"

Kling suddenly knelt in front of Zhou Chen and said nervously: "King, the old slave is willing to follow the king as a slave forever, and beg the king to give the old slave this opportunity." ”

Kling's decision made perfect sense.

Although it was known that all the people who had betrayed Lord Mulder had died, Mudd was not a fool; Moreover, as the prime minister, he was in trouble in the palace, and he did not move, and this alone was enough for the lord of Mudd to behead him for public display.

The only thing Kling could do if he stayed in Mudd City was to die, and he died so miserably that he couldn't even escape hundreds of mouthfuls.

His only choice was to follow Zhou Chen.

"This is your willingness, not the king's persecution of you. Zhou Chen said lightly.

"The old slave was willing. ”

"Then you go and make arrangements! It is only a little more than a day's journey from Mudd City to the Rocky Mountains, and I am afraid that Mudd will get the news at noon today and return to the city with his troops. Zhou Chen said meaningfully.

"The old slave understands, and the old slave will arrange it. ”

Kling replied, quickly leading the few remaining Heavenly Heavy Realm to disappear into the night.

Mud's Palace.

The fire was blazing.

Many of the residents of Mudd City were awakened and ran out of their homes to watch, and at this time, the whole city of Mudd was in chaos, and the people who did not know the truth were discussing what was going on in Mud's palace and were worried, and at the same time, the situation in the home of the slaughtered minister was also discovered by the nearby residents, and the whole city of Mudd fell into a deep panic.

The sky is slightly bright.

Everything is ready.

It has to be said that Klin's work is very efficient, and his family has long been woken up from his sleep, and the carriage, gold, silver, and jewelry are all gone, and they are all loaded into the carriage, since he is willing to follow Zhou Chen, he must show his loyalty. There is no need to show his loyalty, after all, he has signed a master-servant contract with Zhou Chen, and there is absolutely no problem with loyalty, but he has to think about his family, and in his opinion, he needs to use a lot of gold and silver treasures to save the lives of his family.

Dozens of wagons and hundreds of horses came out of Klin's house and headed for the city gates.

Such a big battle naturally couldn't avoid the sight of the residents in the city, but the leader was the prime minister, everyone just had doubts in their hearts, and no one dared to go up to ask; even the guards guarding the city gate did not dare to stop them, and obediently let them go, and Zhou Chen and the others left Mude City so easily.

There are three roads leading from Mudd City to the Rocky Mountains, and the soldiers led by the Lord of Mudd will go to the main road in the middle lane.

This road is relatively close, and the terrain is flat, and the road is fast, but if the lord of Mudd gets the news to return to the city, it is too likely to return the same way, after all, this road is easy and close, and anyone will choose this road.

The Mudd City Lord led a total of more than 5,000 people to attack the Chaotic Stone Mountain Range on this trip, of which there were no less than 100 cultivators above the Heavenly Heavy Realm, and the Mudd City Lord himself was also a master at the peak of the late stage of the Heavenly Heavy Realm, while Zhou Chen and his party were only more than 200 people, if they collided head-on, there was no possibility of survival at all.

Now there are only two roads left, east and west.

How to choose?

"The king, according to the old slave's knowledge of Mude, will be angry when he learns that the palace has been burned, and in order to prevent the king from returning to the Rocky Mountains, he will set up an ambush on all three roads at the same time. Klint analyzed one by one: "Although Wang is gifted and has extraordinary ability, after all, our number is small, and all of them are old husband's family, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, so they can't be tough!"

"Then what do you think should be done?" Zhou Chen asked with a pensive expression.

"Take a detour. ”
