358. Chapter 359
Long Ying couldn't bear it, so she immediately gave her some dry food.
At this time, they only thought that they had met a poor woman. But the further they went, the more they felt that something was wrong. In broad daylight, there was a dying uncle lying at the foot of the mountain, and no one paid attention to it!
Long Ying hurriedly asked Kong Tong to take a water bladder and fed the unconscious old man some water to drink. Only then did I see the old man slowly waking up.
I only heard the old man say in a hoarse voice: "Girl, you should run away quickly, otherwise even if you have a life, you will be starved to death here!" ”
Long Ying raised her eyebrows suspiciously, and said, "Isn't this the border of the Star Feather Country?" There was a famine this year, didn't the imperial court come to relieve the disaster? ”
The old man sighed and said, "Girl, are you from outside?" There is no Star Feather Country anymore. ”
Hearing this, Long Ying's heart trembled uncontrollably, and there were thousands of thoughts in her mind. There were all sorts of speculations, which came to mind almost at the same time. But the speculations were so shocking that she didn't have time to speak again for a while.
Xuanyuan Wudao was holding Long Ying's slightly cold little hand, and seemed to expect something bad......
Kong Tong is rectum, and opened his mouth wide in surprise: "What did you say?" There is no more Star Feather Country? Obviously it was fine a while ago! ”
Langya also answered and said, "Yes, wasn't it okay a while ago?" Uncle, you can't be mistaken, right? ”
The uncle waved his hand and said: "Young man, it was good some time ago, but that Yuehua Kingdom suddenly attacked Xingyu Country, and I don't know what method they used, the soldiers of Yuehua Country are quite powerful, and they captured this place in a few days, and it happened that there was a drought, they came in and looted again, and many of us have been starved to death!" After speaking, the old tears were rampant.
Long Ying's eyebrows furrowed, and he said coldly: "How can this be true! Murong Tianzong! I can't believe you're so ambitious...... I'd like to see if their soldiers are better than those millions of demon soldiers! ”
Xuanyuan Wudao put his hand on her shoulder and said softly: "Don't be impulsive first, let's just come back, the understanding of the situation is not comprehensive." ”
Hearing Xuanyuan Wudao's gentle and low voice, as if it had magical power, it instantly calmed Long Ying's irritable heart. She took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. Instead, together with Kong Tong and a few people, he scattered some of the gold and silver treasures on his body to the local people along the way, and then hurried towards the Xingyu Kingdom Imperial Court.
A few miles away, the beacon was in flames. The imperial capital of the Star Feather Kingdom, which was filled with gunsmoke, has completely become a purgatory on earth......
The originally splendid palace of Xingyu Kingdom has been dusty because of the lack of people to clean it, and it looks a little decadent. And the ministers in the court are more like ants on a hot pot, arguing endlessly.
The military department Shangshu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "We should gather our forces now and rescue His Majesty first!" ”
The scholar of Wenge stroked his beard and frowned: "But now our royal city is surrounded by the soldiers of the Yue Hua Kingdom!" How to send troops to save His Majesty? ”
Another Wenchen also said: "His Majesty was willing to be a prisoner for the sake of the common people of the whole country, if we go to save His Majesty and come back, and the soldiers of the Yuehua Kingdom find out, wouldn't they want to slaughter the helpless people?" ”
The opposition made the military department Shangshu furious, slapped the table and stood up and shouted: "You keep saying one reason after another!" I'm afraid to go out to fight! It's not for you to save your majesty, what you said is willing to be a prisoner for the safety of the people, although Huaguo did not slaughter our people according to the promise, but robbed all the food of the people! Do you know how many people starve to death in a day? ”
This roar suddenly made the sound of the dispute stop suddenly, and the entire palace was as silent as death. I was speechless for a long time......
At the same time, after a few days of traveling, Long Ying and the others finally came to the capital of the Star Feather Country......
When they saw the capital of Xingyu Country at this time, they suddenly didn't feel like they were returning to their hometown, but some of them couldn't recognize it, this was the old capital where they had been honored and disgraced.
The sparks in the sky, the mottled city walls, and the lingering smell of blood filled the air. From time to time, a low cry could be heard in my ears. Obviously, the people are already struggling to make a living......
In the hidden place, Long Ying observed. His gaze finally fell on the guards of the capital, and he frowned and said, "Those people don't seem to be soldiers of the Xingyu Kingdom, but they seem to be dressed as soldiers of the Yuehua Kingdom." ”
Xuanyuan Wudao nodded and said, "It seems that this rumor is true, the Yuehua Kingdom has occupied the Xingyu Kingdom." ”
Seeing this fact with his own eyes, the anger in Long Ying's heart rose a lot! He whipped his horsewhip violently and said sharply, "How can this be justified! ”
The BMW rushed forward in an instant, how could those soldiers be Long Ying's opponents? A horsewhip went down, and several guards were knocked to the ground by her. Her movements also attracted the attention of the general who guarded the city on the city wall.
The general raised his eyebrows, and said with a happy look in his eyes: "I didn't expect Long Ying to come back so soon!" Each of you led a team of horses and captured her alive, so don't hurt her! ”
Looking at the soldiers and horses surrounding him, Long Ying snorted coldly and said, "It's really a self-defeating thing!" ”
"Poof!" The shining Nine Star Rainbow Sword was pulled out by her, shining with a dazzling light.
Such a famous sword, those soldiers naturally heard of it. They all stiffened in fright, and involuntarily took a few steps back. But thinking of the general's orders, he could only bite the bullet and surrounded him without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
"Huh!"
With a swing of the dragon sword, the sword aura came out majestically, and a circle of soldiers who usually looked brave and invincible fell to the ground in an instant. After a while, these soldiers were all dealt with by her.
Immediately after, Long Ying divided five by two, and solved the guards blocking the road in the palace with a lightning speed. Riding her BMW, she quickly came to the palace.
Kong Tong, Xiaoxiao, Lang Xie and You Wei were all surprised. I almost couldn't keep up with Long Ying's pace.
"Sister Long Ying seems to be very angry this time, and she is quick and ruthless...... So ferocious! ”
"Yes, I've never seen my junior sister so angry, it's just angry...... It seems that this time it is really a matter of importance, and it is not good. ”
Xuanyuan Wudao behind several people sighed inaudibly, and muttered: "Xingyu Country is the place where she was born, with her family, her relatives, and friends, how can you not be in a hurry?" ”
"Fortunately, the hometowns of the three of us are all in Yuehua Kingdom, if we see that Yuehua Kingdom has become such a situation, maybe it will be even more heartbroken and indignant than Sister Long Ying."
Kong Tong, who had been pursing his lips, couldn't help but echo: "You Wei, Lang Xie, Xiaoxiao, don't talk about it, I'm also worried about my father...... I don't know if the top and bottom of the empty mansion are safe at this time......"
As they spoke, Long Ying and they had already driven straight into the palace and arrived at the gate of the palace. At this time, the ministers in the palace had already heard the movement, and the most brave and warlike Shangshu of the Xingyu National Military Department was the first to run out to greet Long Ying.
He bent down and bowed his hand, respectfully and excitedly, "Miss Longying...... Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, we'd probably be stuck here until we run out of ammunition! ”
Long Yingxiu frowned lightly, and grabbed one of the comer's arms: "What has happened these days?" ”
The military department Shangshu immediately replied bitterly: "The lord of the Yuehua Kingdom asked my emperor to make an alliance at the junction of the two countries, but at that time he sent troops to attack my emperor's Praetorian Guard!" The soldiers of the Yuehua Kingdom seemed to have become very powerful overnight, the Praetorian Guards were defeated, and finally our emperor was captured, and the lord of the Yuehua Kingdom also took advantage of that time to send troops to attack our country, and quickly occupied the city. ”
As he spoke, the military department Shangshu couldn't help beating his chest and feet, and his eyes were red. sighed......
"Alas...... The most important thing is that the despicable Yuehua Kingdom actually forced our emperor to be a prisoner! Say, if my emperor is willing to exchange his life for the lives of the people of Xingyu Country, he will not slaughter the people, if my emperor is unwilling, then he will slaughter the city! My emperor was forced to have no choice but to agree to them......"
Long Yingxiu frowned, forcibly held back her curse Murong Tianzong, and continued to ask: "Since they have said that they will not embarrass the people, why are so many people starving to death on the streets?" ”
It's okay not to ask, but when I asked, the military department Shangshu became even more resentful.
"This is the most vicious thing about Yuehua Country! Although they did not slaughter a single common man, they robbed the common people of food! Moreover, the people in the north have suffered from drought this year, and I don't know how many people will starve to death overnight! ”
Long Ying frowned deeply and said in a deep voice, "Damn, it's really hateful...... The Ministry of War, how many troops does the Star Feather Country still have? ”
Seeing a woman who can be fearless, she is still so calm and composed. The military department Shangshu also calmed down. After careful calculation, even the cooks and eunuchs did not let go of the algorithm, and finally replied: "There are less than 100,000 troops." ”
Who knows, the scholar of the Wenge University rushed over: "No! No! You can't fight, the soldiers of that month are so powerful that they can only be sent to death if they go! ”
It's all like this, and you have to sit still! If this person wasn't a spy planted here by Murong Tianzong, he would definitely be a greedy person who was afraid of death.
Long Ying couldn't help but roll her eyes, and the military department Shangshu was also flushed with anger.
In the end, it was the prestigious Long Ying who ordered: "Come on, arrest him, but if anyone is unwilling to fight, go to the prison and sit in prison like him." ”
As soon as Long Ying's words came out, the surrounding guards immediately understood, and without saying a word, they arrested the scholar of the Wenge Pavilion.
