Chapter 341: The Great Army Gathers at the Border
So for Zhao Yuqi and others, Shen Mengting is still a little guilty. Even though the boy almost killed all his companions because he went crazy, Shen Mengting still didn't have much hatred for him.
"You have heard it all, King, she has nothing more to say. As far as I asked, she actually wanted to get away with it!" "The regent of Zhou Zhi began his peculiar attack again.
I saw him squinting at Shen Mengting's position, but the bowing and bowing action he made was aimed at the little king, "At the most dangerous moment for his team, he actually handed over the document to the most incompetent person, and bragged about something...... Aha...... 'The most inconspicuous people are the safest?, hey, I said, little girl, who are you fooling?"
"I'll say it again! This is the real thing, believe it or not!" Shen Mengting didn't dodge the regent's glare's gaze at all, and chose to glare back mercilessly.
"What's wrong? Sprinkled? Believe it or not? Do you think I'll believe it?"
"King, I believe you have seen everything in your eyes!" "The regent of Zhu Hongxin quickly came to Zhou Zhi's side, and he also bowed and bowed, "Now there are some people who are making trouble unreasonably, and they can't say a reason but are messing around here!"
"It's obviously you who are messing around!" Shen Mengting really wanted to use force to solve the current problem, so she habitually touched her back. It's just that at the moment of her backhand, reason still prevailed. So she gave up and lowered her arms again.
"Then explain why you were able to run away when you encountered such a terrible Sauron pursuer. It stands to reason that the level of each of you is completely inferior to that of the enemy, so how can you get out of danger?"
Zhou Zhi's question hit Shen Mengting's sore spot. For a while, she could only choose to keep silent.
The reason why they were able to run away was also due to Zhao Yu's madness. It was this man's madness that not only beat his teammates to pieces, but also severely damaged those Sauron pursuers. Otherwise, Shen Mengting estimated that she would already be a prisoner.
But she couldn't tell the truth, because it might put Zhao Yu in danger. Everything that happened in the woods outside the city, Shen Mengting had also communicated with all her teammates just now, and she must wait for Zhao Yu to wake up before she could discuss it.
Therefore, she will never be able to tell the story at the moment, the two regents in front of her have bad intentions, and they must be unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals. How could Shen Mengting tell those two about Zhao Yu?
The secret must be resolutely accepted - Shen Mengting always puts silence first.
But when the two regent saw this, they thought that Shen Mengting had something unbearable in her heart that she couldn't tell, so they became even more arrogant.
"Look, King! She is silent now, probably knowing that there is no convincing reason, so she has given up arguing herself!"
"And the King! she seems to be hiding from us now! It is not good to conceal such things, especially if you have just come into contact with the Saurons. I, Zhu Hongxin, also think that we should quickly interrogate Shen Mengting, and we must fully know what happened to her in the past three months of disappearance?
Wei Tianwen seemed to be shocked by the two uncles, and he showed a slight hesitation, but he did not have the slightest sense of resistance to their words.
"Don't hesitate, King. Now it's the most critical juncture, you can't be indecisive!" Zhou Zhi lowered his bent waist, and his body seemed to be parallel to the ground.
"This ...... This ......" Wei Tianwen slowly took a step back.
"King, it doesn't matter if what she says is true or not, but since she has been missing for so long and has met with the Saurons privately, how can we take precautions!" Zhu Hongxin's waist was straight, but the tone of the plea did not decrease at all.
"Yes, please make a good decision and interrogate Shen Mengting to find out the truth of the matter. Zhou Zhi's body was also straight, but he turned his head in the next moment and looked at Fan Pengyun, who had been in the distance, "Fan Pengyun Regent also thinks the same! Seeing that you have been silent beside you, this is not what a good regent should do!"
When Fan Pengyun heard this, his body trembled. He wasn't afraid of that Zhou Zhi, but because of his seniority, he always needed to give him a son. So he bowed his head and trotted slowly to the king.
"Your Majesty, I think the most important thing at the moment is to be sure that everyone is telling the right message. So......" His eyes glanced slightly in the direction where Shen Mengting was, and Fan Pengyun still made up his mind, "You should still take what Shen Mengting released and give it a good consideration!"
Although he said it vaguely, his actual meaning was not fundamentally different from Zhou Zhi and Zhu Hongxin. At this moment, the balance in Wei Tianwen's heart was completely unbalanced. For a long time, what he feared most was that these three regent would unite and hold the same opinion to force the palace. Wei Tianwen had lost the strength to compete with it, and it seemed that he had no choice but to resign himself and then agree to nod his head.
When the regent Lin Mingyuan saw this, he wanted to go and relieve the siege, "King, I want to ......"
But as soon as he said a few words, he was interrupted by Zhou Zhi, "Lin Mingyuan! Now that the matter is over, do you still want to protect her? What else do you have to say to the king about such an obvious matter?" Don't forget that things that concern the interests of the country are very careless!"
Zhou Zhi's remarks almost blocked Lin Mingyuan's plea, and he didn't seem to have anything to do. Besides, he was also very puzzled about Shen Mengting's series of encounters, not that he didn't trust that girl, but if he could escape from Sauron's powerful pursuers, it would be an incredible thing. After all, even Yang Jiening didn't do this.
"Mengting! at that time...... What the hell happened, what did you rely on to defeat that group of Sauron's pursuers!" Lin Mingyuan suddenly began to inquire about Shen Mengting.
Shen Mengting gasped when she saw this, she could hardly imagine that this regent would doubt herself.
"Yes! Shen Mengting! No matter what has happened, you need to tell the whole story, so that you can give us an accurate judgment!" Wei Tianwen also said quickly.
It seems that everyone in the palace is forcing Shen Mengting to speak the words at that time. But Shen Mengting just chose to keep her mouth shut, she slowly lowered her head, and her chin was tightly knocked on her chest upwards.
"Shen Mengting!" Wei Tianwen had already seen that this woman seemed to have something unspeakable. I didn't want to ask anything more, but with the two regent's uncles' Nono, he really couldn't protect his shortcomings.
"Hmph, king, you see it all! she's hiding something from us. Since that's the case, then she can't believe every word she said just now!" Zhou Zhi tilted his mouth.
"I agree! The king can't believe her!"
The situation is developing in a one-sided direction again, and Wei Tianwen really has no moves. After glancing at Shen Mengting for a few moments, he still sighed helplessly, "Okay! Since that's the case, then I'll talk about Shen Mengting's interrogation in a few days!"
"King's ......"
"Enough, uncles, what we are facing is a threat to a nation, not suspicion of individuals. So I still think it's time to talk about how to explain it to the Sauron Empire!"
was told by the king like this, and the two regents who had been chasing and beating Shen Mengting before could only give up their goal for the time being. After they looked at each other, Zhu Hongxin stood up again.
"Your Majesty! The regent of Zhou Zhi has made it very clear just now. Now it's our fault, we have to give Sauron an explanation!"
In line with Zhou Zhi's constant nodding next to him, Fan Pengyun also nodded in agreement this time.
It was the standard configuration of the three regents standing on the front line, and Wei Tianwen really couldn't question anything, "So...... Uncles mean ......"
"I have invited an envoy to negotiate with the Sauron Empire, and promised them that there will never be a next time. It is also very important that in the process of sending the messenger, the matter should also be investigated. In this way, we can better solve the crisis in front of us!" Zhou Zhi said plainly, and his straight chest also showed that he was so confident.
"Is this a compromise again?" Wei Tianwen lowered his head and moved his body casually, his hands were clasped in front of his chest.
"Your Majesty, since we are on the losing side, and the enemy is very strong, we are bound to ...... We must compromise our interests a little!" Zhu Hongxin made a fist salute forward with great momentum.
After hearing this, Wei Tianwen could only raise his head to the ceiling and sighed deeply.
"King, I'm still against it! I don't think we should investigate the matter first, and then think about how to explain it to the Sauron Empire! After all, if it is really as Mengting said, that country is going to invade us. No matter what we explain to it, it's all in vain!" Lin Mingyuan anxiously tried to persuade.
"Lin Mingyuan, why is it that at this time, you still choose to believe that woman! You have already determined that she is hiding something from us?" Zhou Zhi suddenly shook his head, his eyes glaring like blisters.
"One yard to one yard! Whether she hides anything from us or not, but the current situation is that we have to get things straight!"
"When we figure it out, I don't know which year of the monkey it is! At that time, I'm afraid that even if the Sauron Empire didn't want to invade our hearts, we would be forced to move our troops. So...... Your Majesty, we must hurry up and make an attitude to the other party!" Zhou Zhi took another step forward, which made him almost have physical contact with the king.
Wei Tianwen had never seen this regent before, and he put on such an urgent panicked attitude, and his heart also hung up. Instinctively taking a step back, he took a few more slow steps to the side.
As if in the midst of intense thinking, Wei Tianwen glanced at the ceiling at the top again, "This...... This ......"
"King, don't hesitate any longer! Diplomacy has always been known for its strength, and our country is so far behind the Sauron Empire that there is only one way to compromise! Otherwise, ...... may end up ruining the country and ruining the family!" Zhou Zhi seemed to be about to kneel.
"I agree with the Lord Regent of Zhouzhi. If the king is not at ease, I will be the messenger. I will personally go to the Sauron Empire to discuss with the king and the eldest grandson Wenwei on their side, and get through this crisis together!" Zhu Hongxin said, his waist fell forward, and a bow was revealed.
However, even though this person said it so sincerely, Shen Mengting did not have any resonant emotions, and she even felt disgusting in her heart. If this regent is really allowed to go to the Sauron Empire in person, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not become the second Zhang Zhijie.
For this reason, she kept shaking her head slightly in the back to show her deep distrust of the two regents.
"I also think that we should think about how to calm the situation down first. Since the Sauron Empire accuses our marshal of infiltrating their forbidden lands, we must give an explanation. Even if the matter is something that is made out of nothing, we must be able to come up with actual evidence to refute it. Otherwise, there is only one way to apologize. Regardless of whether the Sauron Empire wants to invade or not, we need to send someone who can cool down the situation! The most important thing is not to be caught by the other party!" Fan Pengyun's tone had always been relatively calm, but it was inserted into the king's heart like a heart.
Wei Tianwen really felt a little breathless. It can be said that the three regents are taking turns bombarding his mind to make them agree to a compromise with the Sauron Empire!
For this reason, he exchanged his breath a few more times in an extremely messy manner, and his eyes were slightly closed. It seems that now he has only one way to compromise with the three regents.
"Don't hesitate any longer, King!"
"Yes, the king!"
"King!"
Wei Tianwen couldn't stand it anymore, he chose to forcibly open his eyes, but there was no concentration in his eyes.
"King!"
"This ...... I...... I decided to ......" Wei Tianwen was about to give some orders after turning around with difficulty.
But at the moment when his eyes fell, there was a rush of footsteps outside the palace. This sound not only made Wei Tianwen look there in shock, but the eyes of the others also looked towards the door unambiguously.
What's wrong? Shen Mengting was the first to react and think. If there is such a rapid pace, it must be a very urgent matter.
Sure enough, a soldier ran in from the palace gate in a panic, and even though he was covered by armor, the sweat stains on his face were extremely conspicuous.
"Report ...... Report...... The report ...... "When the soldier came to the palace, he threw himself on the ground and knelt down," the report ...... Report ......"
"What's the matter? so flustered? I really should have gotten in touch with your superiors and told you low-level soldiers to open your eyes!" said the regent of Zhou Zhi mercilessly.
The soldier was still out of breath, and the rebuke from the regent made him bow his head in frustration, and his whole body was almost paralyzed.
"What's the matter? What's going on?" King Wei Tianwen knew that something big might happen, so he walked towards the kneeling soldier.
"Report ...... Report to the king! Report to the regent!" The soldiers kowtowed to several powerful people in the palace in turn, "There is an urgent report!"
"What's the urgency?"
The soldier raised his head hesitantly, but his eyes showed a look of horror that he had never seen before. He was still panting, which was caused by the sudden running, "Report ...... Report!side ...... Border ......"
"Oh, what the hell is going on? You mean, if you want to catch your breath, go outside and catch your breath before you come in!" said the regent of Zhou Zhi, his eyes narrowed impatiently.
The soldier shuddered when he saw this, and chose to lower his head again.
"What the hell is going on, just talk about it slowly! Don't panic, take a good breath and report it to us!" Wei Tianwen's tone was quite kind, and he never got angry at the soldier.
Shen Mengting knew that what the soldiers wanted to report must be extraordinary. She thought about it, and leaned slightly in the direction of the kneeling soldier.
The soldier gasped several times in gratitude, and when he seemed to be able to speak steadily, he excitedly pushed his fist-clasped hand forward, "To the king and the regent!" According to the news from the military camp on the other side of the border, it was not long ago...... Not long ago, the Sauron Empire amassed an army of 30,000 on the border with our Saran country. They...... They seem to have a tendency to invade our borders!"
As soon as the soldier's words were finished, both the king and several regents, including Shen Mengting and her companions, as well as the guards in the palace, all showed extremely surprised expressions. Even, a few people almost got mixed up.
"What...... What? You say...... What?" The regent of Zhou Zhi rushed to the soldier who knelt down to report, and seemed to intervene and shook his shoulders violently, "You...... What you just said, let's be clear!"
"Message to the Regent! It's an urgent message from last night, the spies in the barracks reported it, Sauron Empire! They have amassed 30,000 troops on the border, and it seems that there is ...... They're going to invade us!"
"Then when the military camp spies found out, what time was it?" Shen Mengting also hurriedly walked in the direction of the soldier.
The soldier's gaze glanced at her, "About half a month ago!"
"What??, a week ago?" Shen Mengting felt that there was a big hand that was tugging at her soul. She regretted that she was a little late.
A week ago, it was not clear where the 30,000 troops were now, and they were probably all on the border with Saran.
Suddenly, everyone in the palace panicked, and even a few guards were discussing how to surrender. Shen Mengting couldn't let this happen, she had to remind the king to always unite everyone's hearts.
