Concubine Ming ordered the soldiers to hurry up and rest, and set off in two hours.

During the third watch, Concubine Ming asked the whole army to carry torches and march towards the dog platform overnight. But as soon as the army rose up, some soldiers came to report that Himi Gong had committed suicide.

When Concubine Ming heard the news, she couldn't help but feel for a while, although he hated Beimi, but he was his biological father after all, so he instructed his subordinates to stand by, and she rode her horse to the back of the team.

When he came to the middle of the team, he saw Himi Gonghu lying on the ground, covered in blood, and it turned out that he had committed suicide by disemboweling the weapon while the escort soldiers were not paying attention.

The soldier who was guarding him knelt down and pleaded guilty, saying: "Dereliction of duty, please condemn the mother." ”

Concubine Ming said: "Innocent, you all get up." ”

Look at the bow of Beimi, it is dying. Concubine Ming got off the horse and came to him and squatted down, only to hear Beimigong laugh miserably and say, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault......"

Concubine Ming asked, "What do you blame?" ”

Beimigong shouted: "Blame me for being soft-hearted, if I drowned your mother and daughter back then, how could there be today's disaster of destroying the country?" ”

Concubine Ming sighed and said, "Father, no matter how sinister you are, no matter how you treat my mother and daughter, I still call you a father." Why are you still obsessed with it until you die? ”

"You, it's you," said Himi, "it was you who killed my wife and children." ”

Concubine Ming sighed and said, "I'm sorry, father, I have killed and killed." ”

Concubine Ming only said this, and did not say any more, the implication is to say: I will kill people anyway, you can do it, and I don't expect to get your forgiveness.

However, as a slave-owning class, it is normal to be killed. It was her concubine Ming who single-handedly overthrew Beimi's bow, even if she didn't kill it, the other turned slaves would kill it.

Himi Gong said with difficulty: "Wife and son, I have come to reunite with you. ”

After that, a mouthful of old blood spit out and died.

Concubine Ming ordered the soldiers: "Hurry up, bury him!" Simply erect a monument, and we have to hurry up to support Your Majesty! ”

The soldiers began to dig pits.

Yu also ran over, looked down at the humble bow who died on the ground, and didn't regret it at all, just heard Yu said: "Mingyue, I haven't married your biological father to the door, I'm the lowest cheap maid, do you understand?" ”

Concubine Ming cried and said, "Mother, don't say it, I won't be sad about it." From now on, as long as you live well, I will be happy. ”

Yu nodded and said, "Since you can know each other like this, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get over this hurdle in your heart." ”

Concubine Ming said: "Mother, please get on the horse, I'm afraid it's too late, let's talk right away, okay?" ”

Liu Xie's team disposed of the corpse of Beimi Gonghu, and the army began to hit the road.

Madame Yu rode a horse to accompany Concubine Ming, and Concubine Ming said: "Mother, I have lived a miserable life of a maid with you since I was a child, without the slightest freedom and dignity. ”

Saying that, he took out her knife Xiao and said: "When I was ten years old, the master taught me Dao Xiao and gave me the courage to continue living. ”

"Master?"

"Yes, master, a mysterious person, I don't even know who he is until now."

Concubine Ming looked up at the starry sky and said, "Originally, I had lost confidence in this world, but it was His Majesty who gave me the courage to live again, and you, Mother." I will now live for three people, you, Your Majesty, and myself! ”

"Well, Mingyue, you have to live well!"

Concubine Ming nodded and said, "Well, so mother, you have to live well!" Come on! ”

"Come on!"

The five thousand horsemen marched through the night, and at dawn they stopped at one place to feed the horses, rested for a while, rested for only an hour, and then continued on their way.

In the early afternoon, I finally arrived at the foot of Inutai Castle.

Inutai is the country of Yamadai, the largest city on Yokoshu Island and the largest city on the entire four islands of the Japanese people, with a population of 150,000 and 70,000 Japanese soldiers.

The city defense was also a mixed wall of wooden fence and masonry, with no moat and no urn city.

In the Wa Kingdom, almost every small country, the ratio of the army to the population is very high, the proportion of the army in the population has basically reached more than 40%, and in some places it has even reached 50%.

However, this is also inseparable from the wars that have occurred in more than 100 small countries on the island for many years.

And the chief manager is like this from time to time.

Liu Xie ascended the throne at the age of nine, when Luoyang and all the princes under the jurisdiction of the thirteen states of the Han dynasty combined, the population was more than 40 million, after 12 years of development, the current Han has more than 70 million people, and the total number of troops is less than 3 million, accounting for only 4% of the population.

This may have a reason for the large population base of the Han Dynasty.

Concubine Ming's arrival, Liu Xie personally came to greet her. Seeing that Liu Xie came to pick him up in person, before he arrived, Concubine Ming rolled the saddle and dismounted, and said, "The concubine sees Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Xie also hurriedly dismounted, greeted him, helped Concubine Ming with both hands, and said, "Concubine Ai has worked hard, I blamed Your Majesty before." ”

Concubine Ming cried and said: "I don't complain about Your Majesty, it's the concubine who is guilty." ”

Saying this, Mrs. Yu also knelt down and said, "The Beichen Yu clan has seen His Majesty the Great Emperor. ”

Liu Xie said: "Madame, please hurry up, I heard that Madame is a descendant of Xu Zu, and I am a great Han people, and I have suffered for so many years." Madame, everything is over, and you can follow your daughter to enjoy the blessings of old age. After returning to China, I will allow you to live in Concubine Ming's dormitory. ”

Mrs. Yu said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Concubine Ming said: "The concubine originally wanted to take her mother back to her homeland now, but she was worried that there would be something evil to deal with my Han army, so she was not at ease, and wanted to wait for His Majesty to eliminate Himiko before returning to China." ”

Liu Xie said: "You don't need to explain Concubine Ming, you can stay in the army with peace of mind and help me." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

Liu Xie asked people to arrange for Mrs. Yu to let the soldiers who were marching in a hurry go to rest first, and then convene the generals to discuss the matter.

In the Chinese military tent, Liu Xie asked the four people who came from Xiongtai's rapid march: "How are you?" Do you want to take a break? ”

Zhao Yun and the others said that they were not tired and did not need to rest, Concubine Ming said: "Your Majesty, we came in a hurry, but we are not worried about the situation here, now that our army is surrounding the dog platform, how about the nearest one?" ”

Liu Xie said: "Originally, I didn't have anything to worry about attacking the city, although they had 70,000 soldiers, but in the eyes of my Han army, it was not worth mentioning at all. And I am now worried about two things: first, will they have something evil to come up with against us? The second is the fear that there are still 80,000 civilians in the city. Although they were Japanese people, they were ultimately enslaved and needed to be liberated. ”

Concubine Ming said: "Your Majesty is really benevolent and confidant, no wonder Your Majesty can win the world." ”
