Chapter 110: A Thousand Shots (3)
After letting the rest of the people retreat, Kui Da said to Shen Xizhen: "The plan to reset the troops has been ordered to be given to the barracks in various places, you should also hand over the antidote, right?" ”
The two of them, who met two days ago and smiled, now meet like enemies, and the atmosphere is very strange.
Xi Zhen smiled and said: "King, there are only a few days left, and when the little girl's one-year career as a military advisor is over and you can faithfully assign those ten cities to the Xi Kingdom, the little woman will give you the antidote." ”
She no longer calls herself a 'courtier' in front of him, but a 'little woman', which shows that she no longer trusts him.
And even when she didn't trust him, she still didn't show any gaffe, and he had to be in awe of her calmness again.
But then again, she's a good guy every step of the way! No matter how much he went around her, he never forgot the ten cities, Kui Da said in his heart with half-squinted eyes.
"Naturally, what Lone promised will definitely be done." Kui Da said.
"With the king's words, the little woman is relieved." Xizhen said with a smile.
Both of them knew that this was meant to be perfunctory, but they also agreed that it was more pleasant than tearing their faces and doing it.
Kui Da smiled bitterly, and was about to adjust his sitting posture, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Toxicity is back in action!
"Guang'an wait, can you ...... Give Lone some antidote first? Kui Da said as he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.
"No, my lord, we have to follow the rules."
Hmph, dare to take such a big breath under Lone's control, is it really fatal? Kui Da secretly thought in his heart.
Kui Da, who was uncomfortable in every way, gestured left and right with his eyes. Immediately, ten guards came forward to surround her.
"It's easy for a little girl to die, but isn't your life so uncherished, my lord?" Xi Zhen asked with a pun.
At the same time, she reached for the knife hidden at her waist.
Kui Da raised his hand to signal. Ten guards immediately approached her, smiled slightly, and drew the knife from her waist with lightning speed.
This.......
The guards looked at each other, but they only hesitated for a moment, and immediately approached again.
Suddenly, they only felt a rush of momentum, and they didn't come back to their senses. Everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Just as they tried to surround her again, they found that she had flown to the beam, and the knife in her hand was glowing in the room.
"I can take my own life. Don't bother everyone. She pointed the blade to her neck.
Everyone suddenly didn't dare to act rashly, and they were all waiting for Kui Da's instructions.
After a while, Kui Da said to the guards in a deep voice, "Stand down." ”
The guards then retreated.
Kui Da thought that Xi Zhen would obediently give in after seeing the guards surround her, but he didn't expect her to be so stubborn. But considering that her life is still in her hands. So he had to make a little concession first.
"Gu Zhen didn't expect Guang Anhou to be such a strong person. It's really an eye-opener for Lonely, it was just a little joke just now that Lone made a little joke on you, don't mind if you want Guang'an. Kui Da said with a smile.
Shen Xizhen didn't answer, and jumped off the beam with a whoosh.
"Guang'an, please sit down, Lone still has something to ask you." Kui Da said.
Hee Zhen sat down in front of him.
"Li Changsheng, Li Simu and Wu Yu disappeared yesterday." Kui Da said, his eyes glued to Xi Zhen to see how she reacted.
"Really?" She asked, frowning, pretending to know.
"Don't you know?"
"The little woman didn't know that the little woman's residence had been heavily guarded recently. The king knows this best. Xi Zhen replied very calmly.
Kui Da thought about it and felt that it was too. Yesterday, there were heavy guards near her house all day, so as long as she had the slightest hint of trouble, she couldn't escape everyone's eyes.
So where did those three envoys go?
He endured the pain last night and ordered someone to search everywhere.
But the search lasted all day without the slightest clue.
I wanted to summon Shen Xizhen to ask immediately, but because I was really unable to do it at that time, I had to wait until today to ask her.
Anyway, she is still in his hands, and he is not afraid.
But those three envoys are certainly not fuel-efficient lamps, and if they secretly abscond back to the Xi Kingdom, it will also pose a great threat to the Globe Kingdom.
So he had to pay attention to it.
"If they're leaving, why wouldn't they want to talk to you?" Kui Da asked.
"Because I'm under surveillance, if they come and tell me, won't they even be able to leave?"
That's right, since that's the case, then their absconding shouldn't have much to do with her, but isn't she good at occultism?
"Guang'an Hou, please help Gu calculate where they are." Kui Da said with a strange smile.
"Yes, but do you think the little woman's calculations are credible?"
"When did Lone doubt you?"
"Then you can just listen to it." Of course, she wouldn't reveal the true result to him, but she told him a result that anyone would believe: "They are on their way to the Qiuxi border, and now they are in the mountains. ”
"Okay, then Gu knows."
"King, the border line is the most important area, and there must be enough soldiers, so you should deploy more of them." Xi Zhen continued to admonish.
Kui Da was slightly startled, not knowing her true intentions.
"The king can decide for himself." Xi Zhen said.
"Lone knows, Lone will arrange it." Kui Da said.
Kui Da answered her while wondering in her heart - would she know about his secret transfer of troops to the border?
Looking at her again, he found that she was still calm, not showing the slightest hint of heart.
He couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
…………………
"Will there be a war on the border in the near future?" After Xi Zhen retreated, he immediately invited the most famous metaphysical master in the country to inquire.
"Back to the king. In a few days, there will be a war on the border between the globes. The master replied.
The master's face was full of panic, and he wanted to speak several times.
Kui Da rewarded him and told him to step down.
Since there will be a war. Then it would be even more important to send some troops to the border.
So he found Kui Xian, Kui Rong and Ram Yan, and said in a solemn tone: "The master has calculated that there is about to be a war on the border line of Qiuxi, and from now on, all the people will be put on alert. ”
The three of them were all surprised when they heard this, and hurriedly said in unison, "Yes, the king." ”
"It seems that the people of Xi are still very worried that you will miss the appointment." Ram Yan said.
"At this point, the ten cities have made up their minds not to be assigned to them. Then fight a battle and see who can have the last laugh. Kui Da clenched his fists and said.
"Your Majesty, did you mean to fight them?" Ram Yan hurriedly asked.
"Uh-huh. Now that they're ready, what else do we have to hesitate about? Kui Da replied.
"If we promised to divide those ten cities, wouldn't we be spared this war? O king, the lives of the people matter. Ram Yan hurriedly knelt down and pleaded.
Although he had long known that Kui Da was unwilling to allocate those ten cities to the Xi Kingdom, if there was to be a war because of this. He will still try to persuade Kui Da to keep his promise. Because he had a hunch that it might be a big loss.
Kui Da was obviously tired of hearing these objections, so he didn't give him a chance to speak again, and waved them down.
………………
However, it was said that Li Changsheng, Li Simu and Wu Yu, who had fled to the Qiuxi border line, rushed separately all the way, but they also concealed the inquiries of the pursuers, and they arrived at the Qiuxi border line all the way in a thrilling but safe way.
The person who answered the border line, Li Changsheng, gave the letter that Xi Zhen confessed to Chu Zihou.
After waiting for so long, he was overjoyed to hear from her. Immediately expand the letter and read it.
"The war will start soon on the side of the Qiu Country, please do your best to mobilize 400,000 troops to the border of Qiuxi. I will assist you here in the shadows, and you will not have to worry about my safety even if you attack you. In addition, I have attached to you a map of the ten cities, and I will ask you to divide them into two groups, one to take them, and the other to attack the city of Qiuli. ”
"Attacking Qiuli City?" Chu Zihou was taken aback when he saw this, and then he understood what she meant, and his spirits were immediately lifted, and he immediately asked Emperor Guangzhao to add another 200,000 elite soldiers.
Three days later, Emperor Guangzhao received his letter and immediately dispatched more than 200,000 elite troops from all over the country and arranged for more than 30 generals with rich combat experience to go.
The crown prince, who learned the news, also immediately asked Emperor Guangzhao for his life: "Please let your father also allow your sons to participate in this battle." ”
Emperor Guangzhao shook his head: "War is very cruel, I can't send my two sons to the battlefield at once, Can'er, wait for the next opportunity." ”
"But the nature of this war is strict, and Erchen really wants to do his best." Chu Zican understood that although this war would be fierce, it was a rare opportunity for meritorious service, so he didn't want to miss it. What's more, if he didn't go to the war and let Chu Zihou take this opportunity to make a great contribution, then Chu Zihou's prestige among the people would far surpass his own.
If so, what do you do to build your reputation?
So he's going to have to work hard.
Emperor Guangzhao immediately understood his intentions and said, "I know that you want to make meritorious service, but there are many ways to make meritorious service, so don't worry about it any more." ”
"Erchen knows that his father is worried about the safety of Erchen, but Erchen will definitely be very careful. Besides, the second brother is also on the battlefield, what reason does the son have to be greedy for life and afraid of death? ”
"Can'er thinks too much, even if you don't fight this battle, the people of the Xi Kingdom will definitely not have any objections to you because of this, because this is a very easy thing to understand, and you really don't have to worry about it." Emperor Guangzhao said with a smile.
Chu Zican couldn't help it, so he had to nod.
But he didn't quit right away.
After pondering for a while, he said, "Can the minister hurry to the border as a backup?" (To be continued......)
