Chapter 19: The Price of Kindness

Zhuchu border.

Chu Nan City.

When King Zhu's mansion came out, it was already night, but even at night, King Nan ordered to rush overnight.

After going down for hundreds of miles, when he arrived at the territory of Chu State, he relieved everyone to stop.

At this time, it was late at night, and the bleak desolation of Lin Cheng's defeat broke into the ancient city of Chu Nancheng, which had always been a prosperous and rich Nancheng Street, but now it was desolate, and most of the rich people had already sold their property, and the family went north to move forward with the poor, hoping to get a glimmer of life.

Nanwang's motorcade walked on the road full of fallen leaves and extremely depressed streets, and the atmosphere became strange and quiet unconsciously.

On both sides of the road, there were piles of refugees from Lincheng, lying on the ground covered with leaves, like corpses. There were also those who froze to death on the road and starved to death, and were left far away in corners.

Some people are even gnawing on the corpses of their own kind in order to survive.

The heavy sound of horses' hooves woke up many people who were terrified, and after wiping their eyes vigorously, and after identifying that the team was holding the flag of the Chu State, they closed their eyes with disgust and prepared to fall asleep again.

"The army of the winning country is about to be killed, why do you soldiers retreat again and again, and those who are officials don't care about us. The people of our town, dead, all dead, why don't you care about us!"

It was a man who had been left in a pile of corpses whimpering, an arrow feather piercing his chest, half of his face had been slashed by an unknown weapon, a rotten eye hung from the broken bones, and the brilliance in the pupils on the other side of his face had been half gone.

He was crying, but his half-dead body couldn't shed tears.

He was going to die, he was not afraid of anything, the cold air for a long time had numbed his limbs, and the blood would run dry.

"Woo, woo. ”

As if the whimpering of grief and pain had caused everyone's hearts to be saddened, the refugees on both sides of the street let out a miserable cry.

The crumbling cries were joined together.

turned into a heavy hammer and hit the face of the heavy soldiers of the Chu State.

In the only carriage of the convoy, Li Shang rubbed his eyes and looked to the other side, he somehow had tears to flow.

Brother's matter, he met Win Wushuang, but he didn't dare to ask, he thought in his heart, don't ask the result, the result is the best.

Win Wushuang not to mention, that brother is alive, at least in his heart.

"King Nan, he is His Royal Highness King South. ”

The king of the south rode a white horse, and when he entered the city, he was completely silent, and closed his eyes and ears.

He didn't dare to see or listen to the scenes in front of him.

He was afraid that he would be soft-hearted.

Because he knew that the decision of the Central Council of Chu was correct, and the battle with the winning country, if the war was to fight with the best state of the whole country, only then could he win three times out of ten.

That was still in the heyday when Qin Xiaoyi was in charge.

Otherwise, there is no chance of winning.

The winning country is a lion that has been gaining momentum for a long time, and will push all those who dare to resist him in a devastating manner.

The state of Chu was defeated, and the end was not only annihilation.

And also

Slaughter!

Zhu Zhiruo sat next to Li Shang, but she somehow, but she couldn't gloat.

She originally hated Li Shang, the guy who ruined her life of brightness and wealth, but now, somehow, she can't hate it.

"King Nan, the most merciful and loving King Nan, please, save my child, she won't be happy without medicine!"

A woman ran in front of Nanwang with a little girl of five or six years old, and knelt on the ground violently, splashing blood on her head.

"Let me die! ”

The woman lifted the child high with both hands.

"Get out of here! ”

King Nan said nothing and looked up at the sky.

Some of the guards gritted their teeth and stood up, and they drew their swords, uttered vicious words, and even raised their swords high.

If the woman does not get out of the way, she will kill directly.

I don't know how many people in the shadows raised their heads, and when they saw King Nan's style, they lowered their heads again.

"Li Shang, save that little girl. ”

Zhu Zhi couldn't bear it, she pulled the corner of Li Shang's clothes.

This is the first time she has taken the initiative to talk to Li Shang since she called Li Shangfujun from Zhu Wangfu.

"Kiss me. ”

Li Shang pointed to his face, and then said, "Then you owe it first, and pay it back together if you save more." ”

Before Zhu Zhiruo could react, Li Shang had already jumped out of the carriage.

"Brother Li Shang. King Nan frowned.

Why didn't he want to save people? But now, saving people is not just about saving people.

Once one is saved and the others are not saved, it becomes the target of public criticism and will be swallowed up by the anger of others.

Everybody here is pitiful, but that's the way it is.

He is the king of the south of Chu State, and he always has a knife on his neck, which is a knife that exterminates the clan and the country.

The woman, who was about to retreat, saw Li Shang walking towards her, and she immediately had the strength to kneel down to Li Shang.

Although Li Shang is wearing tattered clothes and trousers, people can be in a sedan chair, and they don't have to think about it to know that this is not an ordinary person.

"Please, this official, save my daughter. ”

"It's not that I want to save her, it's my wife who wants to save her, I can only do my best to save her, whether I live in the sky and not in me, okay?"

"Good, good, thank you, thank you. ”

The woman handed the little girl to Li Shang, who hugged her.

The woman wept and turned her head to Li Shang again.

"Sir, save my poor boy too. ”

"Help me, I'm still a child!"

"My lord, help, help. ”

As Nanwang expected, a scene happened, in the shadows, I don't know how many people got up, but they could see that the originally empty street market became lively and boiling.

On every street corner, there are refugees.

Soon, the whole street was directly stained.

They all knelt and kowtowed to Li Shang for help.

The king of the south was drowned by the sea of people.

"Brother Li Shang, what are you...... Be careful!"

King Nan looked at Li Shang with a headache, he couldn't say anything he complained, but at this moment, he found that a cold light suddenly welled up in the eyes of the woman who was kneeling and kowtowing.

At this time, Li Shangzheng turned his back to the woman.

"Whew!"

Zhu Zhiruo looked at Li Shang, who was looking at her, and her eyes widened.

"Die!"

"Snort. ”

When the woman got up, she stabbed again.

The knot of the two stabs is sturdy.

"Hahahahahaha, Li Shang, you're not so hard to die. ”

After the woman stabbed her twice, she stood up and laughed wildly.

"Oh, really?"

Li Shang turned to look at her, but the hand holding the child trembled a little.

With a "snap", the knife in the woman's hand fell to the ground.

The people around him also quieted down.

There were even people who secretly and quickly retreated to the corner.

Is this the price of goodness? ”

Li Shang smiled bitterly.
