Chapter 122: The Army Changes
The world has gradually lost a good impression of this handsome young champion who only blindly works for the prime minister, and there are often storytellers in restaurants who write new jokes to scold him.
And those literati and writers who he had befriended in the past saw him as if they saw something dirty, and avoided them from afar.
Wang Shouming didn't care much about these things, and still blindly did things that the world despised.
In the palace, Concubine Zhen's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the emperor knows that the prime minister will not attack Concubine Zhen's baby, but he is still very worried. Often woke up in the middle of the night, her forehead was full of cold sweat, and in her dream, Concubine Zhen fell on the hall with a big belly covered in blood, and the prime minister sat on the dragon chair with a wicked smile.
Concubine Zhen looked at the emperor's frowning forehead, sighed, and said, "The emperor should not worry too much. ”
The emperor shook his head and smiled reluctantly at Concubine Zhen, "I'm just afraid that I'm too useless to protect you and the little prince." ”
Concubine Zhen said: "It's okay, we have to believe General Cen and Wang Shouming, didn't General Cen give a letter saying that the situation in Biansai is much better than imagined?" ”
The emperor nodded, "I'm naturally relieved on Cen Zhaohou's side, but here in Beijing, I heard that the reputation of Shouming outside is getting worse and worse, and I'm really a little worried." ”
Concubine Zhen smiled: "Didn't the emperor say that Wang Shouming is a capable minister in the world, and we must believe that he is." What's more, the more the outside comments are like this, the more it shows that he can win the trust of the prime minister more, we should, happy is. ”
When the emperor heard this, he sighed and didn't speak again.
Because the Scorching Sun Kingdom has been standing still, Cen Zhaohou and his army have also been idle in this Qingcheng.
It's just that Cen Zhaohou has to report the movements of Biansai to the capital every day, and the prime minister has been looking forward to Cen Zhaohou returning to the court as soon as possible, and when Concubine Zhen is born in her belly, he can seek to usurp the throne.
It's just that occasionally, letters from the capital that don't belong to the prime minister come over, and Cen Zhaohou will frown for a long time when he arrives at this time, and then sit down at the desk to write for a long time before leaving.
Yun Sha also found all kinds of books on poison medicine in the surrounding small countries to study, and soaked in the pharmacy every day and didn't want to come out.
Jiang Yanyue took Jiang Yuebai, who had nothing to do every day, into the army to practice martial arts, no matter how sad he howled, Jiang Yanyue ignored it.
That night, the sky was overcast, obscuring the starlight in the sky outside the Saiwai.
When Cen Zhaohou was about to rest with Yunsha, a guard hurriedly came, threw himself on the ground and said: "General, the big thing is not good, the army of the Scorching Sun Kingdom is coming, and it has reached a hundred miles outside the city at this time. ”
Cen Zhaohou quickly got up and dressed, and asked the soldier to inform the soldiers defending the city to prepare for battle.
Yun Xuan was horrified, and he didn't have time to think about why the Scorching Sun Kingdom suddenly attacked, so he followed Cen Zhaohou up to the city tower.
On the castle tower, from a distance, the soldiers of the Scorching Sun Kingdom rushed from a distance, each holding a torch.
Cen Zhaohou frowned, and ordered the soldiers at all the gates to raise their spirits and prepare to face the battle.
Tens of thousands of fires in the distance rushed towards him, Cen Zhaohou raised his hand, and the soldiers on the city tower tightened their bows and aimed them at the soldiers of the Scorching Sun Kingdom.
Twenty miles...... Ten Miles...... Five miles, the enemies were close at hand, Cen Zhaohou put his hand and shouted, "Release!" ”
The soldiers in the front row of the Scorching Sun Kingdom did not panic when they saw the arrows rushing towards them, and quickly picked up the shield behind them and placed it in front of them to resist the attack of the arrows.
Thousands of arrows were fired, and although the soldiers of the Scorching Sun Kingdom tried their best to resist, many people still fell, but these fallen people were so insignificant compared to the remaining soldiers of the Scorching Sun Kingdom.
The remaining soldiers, regardless of whether they had the colors on them or not, rushed forward desperately, and some of them reached the city gate.
The soldiers on the tower kept hitting these enemies with boulders, but the enemies still attacked in waves.
Gradually, more and more soldiers gathered under the city tower, and the soldiers on the city tower alone could no longer stop them.
Cen Zhaohou stood on the city tower, looked at the soldiers below, and ordered the soldiers of each gate to go out to fight the enemy.
"Kill-" Waves of shouts of killing came from below the city tower, and the soldiers who were besieging the city quickly retreated and drew their swords and began to fight.
Blood and light are flying, the scene on the battlefield is extremely bloody, one second you cut off someone else's arm, the next second your leg falls to the ground under someone else's knife, but these screams are drowned in the shouting of killing, the soldiers as if they don't know the pain, swing the knife at the enemy, and at the same time, also watch the enemy swing the knife at themselves.
Even Yun Sha, who kills people without blinking, can't help but turn his back when he sees such a murderous and barbaric scene.
This is the battlefield, countless fame and wealth have made their fortunes from here, countless founding emperors have been born from here, there are countless countries that have disappeared in wars again and again, countless noble kings have lost their crowns here, and there are countless family separations here, countless white-haired people send black-haired people to nightmares, war is extremely cruel, no one has ever wanted to live in war, but there have always been people who deliberately provoked wars, for more power, for more money, fame and fortune.
All night, there was a roar from the downstairs of the city.
Finally, not a single person from the Scorching Sun Kingdom climbed the walls.
After dawn, the shouts gradually dispersed, and the soldiers of the Scorching Sun Kingdom also retreated.
Cen Zhaohou frowned, asked the soldiers to carry the wounded into the city to settle them, and turned around and entered the main tent himself
Yun Xu brought a bowl of tea to Cen Zhaohou, and wondered, "Why did this Scorching Sun Kingdom suddenly attack?" It didn't seem like he wanted to go to war that day. ”
Cen Zhaohou took a sip of tea, his brows stretched slightly, and said, "I don't know, I've already asked someone to send a letter to us, just wait for Ermu to give us an explanation." ”
Yun Xu nodded, and went with the military doctor to help deal with the wounded.
Last night's casualties were not heavy, and the losses on both sides were about the same.
It's just that it is really shocking to suddenly see so many wounded people who are missing hands and broken feet wailing.
Yun Sha kept helping those wounds to heal their wounds, and suddenly, the bright red blood that had flowed from those wounds turned black.
Yun Xu was horrified, only to see that the wounded man was originally fine, but after black blood came out of the wound, he began to convulse all over, foaming at the mouth, and gradually lost consciousness.
At this time, several other wounded people also appeared in this situation, and Yun Sha asked people to hurry up and ask Cen Zhaohou to come over, and he sealed several big points of the wounded man with silver needles, and hung his life for him.
She ran to the tent where Jiang Yanyue was where the wounded were housed, and found that all the wounded had this condition on their bodies.
Cen Zhaohou also rushed over at this time, and he was also shocked when he looked at the scene in the tent.
Yun Xu asked anxiously, "Do you have a reply from Ermu Grape?" How did these wounded come to be like this? ”
Cen Zhaohou shook his head and said, "There has been no news from Ermu Grape, and the soldiers I sent to deliver the letter have not been heard from either. ”
At this time, the unconscious wounded in the room all sat up one after another, but their expressions were quite strange, like walking corpses.
What's even more frightening is that there is no black in the eyes of these wounded, only the whites of their eyes are exposed, and they look quite terrible.
Before Cen Zhaohou and the others could react, the wounded attacked them.
Several soldiers who were standing on the side immediately went to stop the wounded, but they were bitten by the wounded, black blood came out of the wounds, and they lost consciousness in an instant.
Cen Zhaohou's face was gloomy, and he cut off the head of a wounded man who was about to pounce on Yun Sha, and took Yun Sha and a few people out of the tent.
And let the soldiers quickly build a fence around here, so that these things do not climb out.
He also ordered that no one present today should be allowed to spread any news.
Several people returned to the main tent, and the atmosphere was dull for a while.
Jiang Yanyue said: "I have never seen such a thing, how can someone who was alive at the last moment become a monster in an instant." ”
Yun Sha frowned, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and said: "I saw a medical book in the past two days that said that if you scatter the bones on the wound, it will make people become like zombies, and they will only bite people, and the bitten person will also be infected with this poison. It's just that this kind of vicious poison has long been lost, how can it suddenly appear again? ”
When Jiang Yanyue heard this, she thought for a while, and said, "I once saw the introduction of the Raw Poison Gu, and it was said that if you give this person who is a Raw Poison Gu dozens of poisons such as corpse poison, you can practice this poison!" ”
Cen Zhaohou immediately thought of the raw poisonous Gu in the capital before, and said in confusion: "The poison made by the raw poisonous Gu that time was not taken by Si Xuanxi later, why did the poison made of raw poisonous Gu suddenly appear?" ”
Yun Xu's mind was in a mess, and she suddenly thought of the half-human and half-corpse made by the owner of Yunni Island, and thought of Ermuzhu's unconscious sister, and always felt that something was about to come out, but she couldn't say it.
Cen Zhaohou said: "This matter, I'm afraid that only by going to the Scorching Sun Country can there be a result." ”
There has been no news of Narmuzhu and the soldiers who had gone to deliver the letter, and he always felt that this matter was quite strange.
Yun Sha nodded and said, "Then we will go to the Scorching Sun Kingdom immediately!" ”
So a few people rode their horses again and quickly went to the country of the burning sun.
Entering the borders of the Scorching Sun Country, Yunsha felt as if everything seemed a little strange.
Jiang Yanyue was also puzzled: "Why is there no one on this street, and the people who are guarding the city just now look at us people coming in, and their eyes are also very strange." ”
When they came in just now, the city keeper asked them again if they were sure to go in, Jiang Yanyue took the document and said that he must come in to find relatives, the city keeper nodded, looked at them with pity in his eyes, and let them in.
Yun Xu said: "The last time we came, although this street was not as prosperous as the capital, there were people, why is it so quiet now?"
Suddenly, they saw a group of soldiers patrolling the streets walking by, and Cen Zhaohou stepped forward to ask why there was no one on the streets of the city.
