119 Defeat of the king
Cai Xianwu didn't pay any attention to the arrogant Xiong Yan outside the city, drinking wine, accompanied by the beauties beside him, so comfortable, at this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran in from outside, hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Report to the king, the big thing is not good, the king of Chu Xiong Rong is already attacking the city with his army, and the city gate guards are about to be unable to resist, please make a decision!" ”
Cai Xianwu reprimanded angrily: "What a bunch of waste, Xiong Zhen just brought 10,000 horses, can't even 10,000 horses resist?" ”
The soldier hurriedly shook his head and hurriedly said: "No, the king, the king of Chu brought not 10,000, but I am afraid that it will be more than 100,000!" ”
"What, a hundred thousand!" Hearing this number, Cai Xianwu almost fell off the chair, not to say how frightened this number was, but to marvel at why no one saw this 100,000 army when it was overwhelming. "Isn't it ten thousand?"
The soldier was also full of helplessness and surprise, "At first, it was indeed the King of Chu with an army of 10,000, but just when he was about to approach the Styx River of my Cai Kingdom, an army suddenly emerged from the east and the west, and the formation was huge, and the fusion led by the King of Chu led by the King of Chu marched towards our city together, at first the soldiers were still able to resist, but the army of the King of Chu was too strong, and the city was about to be unable to hold on. ”
Cai Xianwu threw down the wine glass in his hand, pushed the beauty away, his eyes tightened, and shouted: "Go out with this king to have a look!" ”
The night breeze in summer blows on people's bodies indescribably refreshing, this scorching summer day only gives people a place at night, but this night is what Cai Xianwu does not want to see. The city is already in danger, Cai Xianwu stood on the city wall and looked out of the city, Xiong Yun on a tall horse was arrogantly scanning all this with his eyes, in his opinion, these were undoubtedly his bears' bags.
Seeing Cai Xianwu, the ridicule at the corner of Xiong Yun's mouth was even more wanton, and he mocked: "Cai Hou finally came out, and the widow still thought that he would only see Cai Hou when he entered the palace?" The words were full of provocation towards Cai Xianwu.
Cai Xianwu's eyes were full of hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Xiong Yun, I, Cai Guo, have no grievances with you." Why do you raise an army against me? ”
Xiong Yun joked: "This grudge is the easiest to provoke, and it is not there now, and it is easy to find some out, just talk about why you came to my Chu country in the first place." In the end, you used the widow's blade to destroy the Xiguo, you are comfortable, but the widow's wife is full of anger, so today the widow came to your Cai country once in order to please Mrs. Wenwang. I want to take down this small place of yours and give it to Madame, so as to eliminate the hatred in Madame's heart. ”
Cai Xianwu shouted: "Xiong Yun, you are nothing more than a deliberate provocation!" ”
Not to be outdone, Xiong Yun asked rhetorically: "What's the matter, your Cai State may be a relatively large country among the Northern Princes, but in front of my Chu State, you are just a projectile land, and you can be easily taken down." Even if the widow is here on purpose to find fault, but if you look around, do you think you still have room to fight back? Your Cai country has been besieged by an army of 100,000 outnumbered people, and it is the end of the strong crossbow, and those who follow me will prosper and those who disobey me will die, how about it? ”
Cai Xianwu's eyes angrily reprimanded Xiong Zhen, he really wanted to eat Xiong Zhen alive, looking at him like this, Xiong Zhen was so light that he said slowly: "Don't say that the widow deceives people too much, Cai Xianwu, the widow gives you a chance, if you can defeat the widow." The widow can spare the people of this city, if you fail, hehe...... That's hard to say! Then he threw him a sword and plunged it into the ground in front of the city gate. Look at him with a smile.
Cai Xianwu was unwilling in his heart, he was so despised by him, as a prince, no matter how bad he was, he would have those three wills, and he who could be indifferent after receiving such contempt was probably not able to be a person. Cai Xianwu immediately walked down the city wall angrily, and the soldiers around him persuaded one after another: "King, the king can't do it at this time." If you go, I don't know what tricks that Xiong Xiao Er will use, if he harms you, it's all over! ”
Cai Xianwu tore it away, and said loudly: "Waiting here is also a dead end, it won't be long before the city is broken, what will happen to the people in this city at that time, if this king goes out to fight now, maybe he can still protect the people in my city a way to live." This king knows that he has always made too few meritorious deeds for the country and the people, and he will not know until the end of the day that it is too late, so let this king do this only good thing for the benefit of the country and the people! Get out of the way of this king! ”
Cai Xianwu gave an order, all the soldiers made way for him, the city gate was slightly opened, Cai Xianwu took steps, proudly out of the city gate, seeing Cai Xianwu came out, Xiong Xun smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to be still a man, and you have the courage to come out to fight, just by virtue of this, whether you win or lose, the people in the city will live half first, and the remaining half will depend on yourself!" Xiong Yun said, drew his sword, turned and dismounted.
Cai Xianwu also pulled out the sword in front of him, looking at the cold light on it, his heart was cold, I don't know how long I haven't touched the sword, Cai Guo has been comfortable for too long, I didn't expect that it would be the case if I touched the sword again, but I didn't have time to think about it, and shouted at Xiong Yun: "Xiong Yun, come on!" ”
Xiong Yun was not cowardly towards Cai Xianwu's momentum, his sword was unsheathed, and then half of the starlight was recklessly wrestling with Cai Xianwu. Although Cai Xianwu has not touched the sword for a long time, the basic techniques have never been unfamiliar, and the dance is smooth, not letting Xiong Yun lose half a point. Xiong Yun's swordsmanship is fierce and domineering, and his moves are all ruthless, and they are all crucial. The two heads couldn't hold each other, Cai Xianwu danced a little hard, and Xiong Yan didn't attack and only defended. After the protracted war, Cai Xianwu was finally defeated.
Xiong Yun put the sharp blade in his hand on Cai Xianwu's neck, and his chest was still wheezing, and said, "How, admit defeat?" ”
Cai Xianwu was also fearless at this time, his heart was horizontal, and he looked at death as home, and said: "Defeated, I, Cai Xianwu, am willing to die, I just hope that half of my people can make them suffer a little less in your hands, and I will die as I deserve." ”
Xiong Yun looked at Cai Xianwu, and felt less disgusted with him in his heart, and said slowly: "When you are dying, you finally have the appearance of the lord of the country, the widow fulfills you, and the people in your city can live, in exchange for another thing that the widow wants from you." ”
"What's that?" A hint of vigilance flashed in Cai Xianwu's eyes, and he stared at Xiong Xun and asked.
Xiong Zhen laughed jokingly and said, "Don't be so nervous, this exchange that the widow asked you for is dispensable for you, and you won't need it in the future!" ”
"What do you want?"
"The widow wants your wife, that is, the widow's wife's sister!"
"What do you want her to do?"
Xiong Yun smiled playfully and said jokingly: "This is what the widow's wife wants." Be a favor to her. Besides, Mrs. Cai's appearance in Chen Guo can be regarded as a must, what are you doing here after Cai Guo is destroyed, isn't it a pity, it is better to be a widow. Let the widow take it back to relieve Mrs. Cai's loneliness! ”
"Xiong Zhen!" After defeating himself, he still has to humiliate himself endlessly, this Xiong Zhen is really hateful. Seeing the resentment and hesitation in Cai Xianwu's eyes, Xiong Yun added again: "Cai Xianwu, are you reluctant." You have to think clearly, can you still find such a good deal for the life of a woman in exchange for half of the people in the city? ”
If Cai Guo is destroyed, the life of the concubine pheasant in Cai Guo will not be good, Xiong Yun wants the concubine pheasant, maybe it will be a good thing after bringing it back, but it is really a shame for himself! But...... In desperation, his heart was crossed, and he said: "This king has promised you, and I will exchange my wife for the lives of the people in the city." I only hope you're after you take her back. Don't hurt her, she came to me and blamed her for her bad life, hey! ”
Xiong Yun sneered: "Now, you yourself are difficult to protect, are you still worried about your wife's ending?" ”
Who knew that Cai Xianwu was not majestic and said: "I ended up in this situation, both because I am to blame for myself and because of the general trend of my Cai country, I can't complain about others, but everyone else except me is innocent, although I Cai Xianwu is not a lord who is higher than the sky, but I am not a faint king." Madame is my wife. How can you not be concerned. That day, he was already sorry for Mrs. Xi, and now he is even more helpless to taste the bitter fruit, causing him to fall into such a situation. I'm really disobedient to my husband! ”
Xiong Yun was a little impatient, and said: "Okay, don't bother, it's useless to lament that you are dead, the widow just brought Mrs. Cai back, how can I tell her that she is not a widow!" ”
Xiong Yun successfully destroyed Cai Guo very smoothly. I have harvested the huge soil of the northern territory, I can't say how happy I am in my heart, the proud smile on my face continues, and I am even more happy after seeing Xi Fei, and hurriedly brought Cai Xianwu in the prisoner car up, as if he was asking for credit.
Xi Fei glanced at Cai Xianwu, this embarrassed appearance, the evil anger in her heart was really a little different, and she was suddenly a lot happier, but thinking about the pain she suffered at the beginning, this look was far from enough, she also asked him to pay more. The concubine is called Xiong Zhen to receive the wind and wash the dust, and she will set up a banquet in the main hall.
On this night, the hall was full of string music, countless wines and delicacies, and Xiong Zhen, who was sitting above, was proudly watching all this, accompanied by a beautiful woman, and Xi Fei was dressed in this gorgeous costume for the first time to pour wine for Xiong Xuan.
It is said that no one has seen it, or that no one has seen it, and there is still a man kneeling in this glorious hall. Cai Xianwu was already hungry at this time, but the cold wind blew him wantonly, no one paid attention, remembering that the last time he came to receive a courtesy, but this time was completely different, no one was looking at him. The whole hall was full of laughter, all rejoicing in the victory of the war, who cared about a tired and hungry living person kneeling here.
In addition to the atmosphere in my heart, there is also a sadness, isn't all this self-inflicted. If it weren't for his lust and flirtatation with Xi Fei, Xi Hou would not have used Chu Zi's power to kill Cai, he would not have been involved with this tiger and wolf-like country, and he would not have instigated the King of Chu to destroy Xi Guo, if Xi Guo was not destroyed, Xi Yan would not have come to Chu State as the wife of King Wen, and he would not have such a strong hatred for himself, he would not have caused such a tragic situation now, and Cai Guo would not have fallen. The huge Cai Guo was destroyed because of himself, how can he meet the ancestors of Cai Guo?
In this difficult situation, Cai Xianwu looked up at the woman above who was laughing with Xiong Yun and pouring wine for him, and instantly understood why Xi Fei hated herself, and the shame he is now bearing in this hall is not what this woman endured three years ago?
Thinking about it like this, Cai Xianwu lost all the hatred in his heart, and only a lot of regret and self-annoyance remained.
This celebration banquet lasted for more than two hours, and ended in the thick of the night, Xiong Yun didn't seem to have any intention of disposing of Cai Xianwu at this time, and randomly ordered someone to detain him in the cell, and left with drunken steps.
Xi Fei was also very tired after this banquet, but she still had a more important thing in her mind, and she didn't have time to stop. After the feast she hurried back to the palace, where someone was still waiting for her.
After the pheasant got out of the car, she was brought here, she didn't know what kind of place it was, but she vaguely heard that she was the exchange of Cai Xianwu's life with ordinary people, looking around this room, it was splendid, it was almost Xiong Yun's house, Cai Xianwu exchanged herself for half of Cai's people, and one day she would think about Cai Guo, but why was her heart really so sad?
faintly heard the sound of footsteps, and the pheasant's heart tightened, and she didn't know how to face this man, but to her surprise, it was not Xiong Yan who came in but Xi Fei. Seeing the hint of happiness in the pheasant's eyes, Concubine Xi chuckled and said, "Sister, please rest assured, this is what I mean to bring you to the Chu State, Xiong Yan has no other ideas!" ”
Seeing that it was Xi Fei, although she was happy, she did not relax her vigilance and asked, "Then what did you want to do when you brought me to the Chu State?" To get revenge on me? ”
"Get revenge on you!" Xi Fei chuckled and said: "What did you do to revenge, things are already like this, even if you are killed now, what can you do, who can go back to the past?" Besides, I'm not prepared to take revenge on you, you're my sister anyway, and I don't have to blame you even if you turned a blind eye to me at the time. Because it was because of your disregard back then that I have the status I have now, and I still have to thank you for it. The corners of Xi Fei's mouth turned bitter as she spoke.
This is the pheasant who suddenly asked, "What about the king, where did you take him?" ”
mentioned that Cai Xianwu, thinking of his current situation was relieved, and said with a smile: "Sister, but Cai Xianwu sent you out with his own hands, what are you still thinking about him for?" (To be continued.) )
