Chapter 401: Unjust War

"In two days? Come on, we're all out of food. ∽↗, you better solve the problem of eating for me now. Murong Hong rolled his eyes.

"But haven't you already eaten it?"

"Just that bit of dry food? The dry food was dry and cold, and my stomach was broken. Murong Hong rubbed his stomach.

Dugu Chong turned his head and saw Murong Hong's pitiful appearance, and he was a little unbearable, "Okay, let's go find a place where there are people first and ask those ordinary people for food." ”

"Well, I'll have to be a beggar for a while." Murong Hong shrugged his shoulders.

The two of them had to turn around again and walk back the way they came.

However, in this wilderness, there were no people everywhere, and the two searched for a long time, but they didn't see a single house.

For them, exposure to this uninhabited place is undoubtedly a great danger. Helplessly, the two decided to return to the forest again.

But when they came there, they were taken aback.

Right at the entrance to the forest, a group of soldiers was setting up tents.

"What's going on?" Murong Hong asked.

"Is this going to war? Otherwise, I wouldn't have set up a tent here? Dugu Chong frowned.

"War? Who are they going to fight? Murong Hong was stunned for a moment, "No, it's so dignified, why do you want to fight?" ”

"I don't know very well, recently, there has been no news of war in the palace?" Dugu Chong was also puzzled, "Why don't we sneak over and listen to what they are talking about?" ”

"Okay, though, be careful with the amount."

"You follow me, promise you'll be fine." Dugu Chong walked in front, and Murong Hong followed behind.

The two hid behind a tree and looked that way.

I saw that the tents set up by the soldiers had already blocked the entrance to the entire forest. Judging by the number of tents, the number of this army is really quite large.

A man who looked like a general walked out of this direction, shouting loudly as he walked: "Big guy, hurry up, go to bed early when you're done." Tomorrow morning, we're going to cross that mountain and fight the stinking Yakshas. You're all giving me a little bit of spirit! ”

"What? They, they're going to war with the Yakshas? Murong Hong was taken aback.

"Strange." Dugu Chong was also stunned, "It's so decent, why should we start a war with the people of the Yaksha clan, it doesn't make sense?" ”

The general went somewhere else, and the soldiers who were pitching their tents gathered together and began to talk.

"These officials don't treat us as human beings anymore, they just let us eat, sleep and fight, and they don't care if we live or die. This is really a war with the Yakshas, and if you don't get it, you will lose a lot of people! The Yaksha clan is not easy to mess with, they are all three-headed and six-armed, and they can breathe fire and spit water, which is very scary. A soldier said.

"It's not that exaggerated, where are the three heads and six arms? They're just a little fierce, they're bigger, as long as we pay a little more attention, they'll be fine. Another soldier relieved.

"Have you seen them?"

"No, those Yaksha are long gone in the city, and I heard that they have all gone to the wilderness."

"Then you didn't see them, how do you know they don't have three heads and six arms?"

"So, didn't I think about it myself, have you seen it?" The soldier said unconvinced, "Okay, although we are not the same kind as them, we have been safe for so long, why are we fighting this time?" ”

"You don't know, huh?" One of the veterans said, "I'll tell you secretly, but don't tell you." I have heard that the Yaksha people have been hiding a robe that has not been handed over, and because of this, the king has long wanted to crusade against them. Sooner or later, we'll fight with them, and it's only a matter of time, but this time, the king is in earnest. ”

"What? A robe? Oh, just for the sake of a robe, let's go to the battlefield to die? Ahh

"Don't shout so loudly, be careful that people hear." The old soldier said, "You don't know, this robe is not an ordinary robe. I heard that the sorcerer invited by the king once prophesied: Whoever wears that robe will end our netherworld in the future! ”

"What? Ending our netherworld? The soldiers were too frightened to speak.

"I have also heard that this robe is actually in the hands of the Yakshas, and they did not hand it over after their defeat in the war, and presumably destroyed or lost it in the war. Our ancestor Lao Wang believed it, let them go, and gave them a self-governing territory, but these Yaksha people just don't obey our control and are unruly. The old soldier said, "Now that they have all left the city, they have gathered at the other end of Zhongyin Mountain, near the swamp, and there are quite a few of them." The king has long been dissatisfied with them, and has been recruiting and expanding the army in the past few years, just to have a final settlement with them, completely relieve the troubles, and by the way, also get that magical robe. ”

"Oh, I see." The other soldier suddenly realized, "No wonder we set out in such a hurry this time, I understand, this is to give the Yaksha a surprise attack." ”

"Not good." Murong Hong said, "I'm going to tell this news to Hadador as soon as possible!" ”

But just as he was about to leave, he was grabbed by Dugu Chong's wrist.

"What are you doing?" Murong Hong was stunned and frowned.

Dugu Chong's face sank, and he said, "What are you going to do, do you plan to tell them about our Yin ** team's attack on the Yaksha clan?" ”

"yes, so what?"

"This is our military secret, and you want to tell the enemy?" Dugu Chong's eyes widened, "Which side are you on, are you going to be a traitor?" ”

"I'm not from the netherworld at all, what kind of traitor am I?"

"Why aren't you? You are the concubine canonized by my royal brother, and you are already a member of our netherworld. ”

"That's his own wishful thinking, and I didn't agree." Murong Hong said, "I am a person from the yang world, I don't belong to your netherworld, nor do I belong to the Yaksha clan, you can't control it." ”

"Of course I can control it, no matter what nationality you are, as long as you tell this news to the Yakshas, then you will be my enemy!" Dugu Chong said with a stern expression.

"Your sneak attack on the Yaksha is not right at all, it is unjust!" Murong Hong said without showing weakness.

"What does it mean to be right and what is right?" Dugu Chong snorted coldly, "War itself is to use all kinds of conspiracies. There is nothing wrong with sneaking up on the enemy, it is not unjust. ”

"I'm not just talking about your sneak attacks, but about your purpose in starting this war. Their Yaksha and you Bardo people have been living in peace here for so many years, and you have taken away other people's land, and now you want to exterminate them, what kind of justice is this? Murong Hong said.

"Don't say anything about benevolence and morality in front of me!" Dugu Chong said expressionlessly, "In the history of your human race, which war was not also full of killing, fraud and evil? On the surface, the slogan of justice is hung, but in fact it is all about obtaining greater benefits. What is the difference between what we are doing today and what you are doing? What we want is nothing more than the living space that we have expanded, for a better life, in order to avoid being ruined by the legendary terminator in the netherworld. For the sake of its own survival and development, even if it is the law of the jungle, even if it is to kill everything, it is necessary. ”

"This." Murong Hong was stunned for a moment, his mouth opened for a moment, but he still closed it.

"Why, you don't have anything to say, do you?" Dugu Chong smiled proudly, "You'd better not meddle in things, things like war have nothing to do with you women." If you dare to reveal the news that our Bardo Kingdom has launched a war, then I'm sorry! ”

"What are you going to do? Are you going to kill me? Murong Hong raised his head, "It's not right for you to start an unjust war. Oh, a robber, to rob someone else's things, and to find a high-sounding reason for his own banditry behavior, but to say that the victim is coming to kill you? Excuse me, are you really being forced to survive by the Yaksha people now, are you really going to be terminated by them? Hmph, not at all. Now, it's not you who can't survive, it's the Yakshas! ”

Dugu Chong was stunned, and the arrogance just now was retreated by Murong Hong.

"What, you're speechless?" Murong Hong also smiled proudly, this can be regarded as a move to return the other party.

"I am a soldier, I only know that it is my duty to obey orders, and I will go wherever the country needs me. Whatever I need to do, I'll do! Dugu Chong looked straight ahead and said.

"A soldier? A soldier is first and foremost a man! If a person does not have a minimum conscience and a basic sense of justice, he is not as good as a beast! ”

"What did you say?" Dugu Chong's eyes widened, and his hand pressed on the sword, he was enraged.

"What, Prince Dugu, are you going to kill me?" Murong Hong wanted to stimulate Dugu Chong.

"Humph!" Dugu Chong's hand was put down, "Good men don't fight with women, I don't want to talk to you more." In any case, you are not allowed to leave here now! “

"If I don't leave here, how can I go to the ghost gate? You promised me that you would send me there, what, do you want to be a dishonest person? ”

"It's not dishonest. As soon as you get there, you'll talk to that Yaksha Hadatta about it, I can't let you talk about it, I have to stop you! ”

"You have no power to stop me! I'm a person, if I only get to something wrong, I must say it! Unless, you kill me, you can gag me! Murong Hong held his head high.

"You, do you think I don't dare?" Suddenly, Dugu Chong pulled out his sword.

The sword, in the night light, emitted a cold light
