Chapter 45: The Resurrection of the Beast Pawn

The two came to Cai Gong's mansion, and saw that there were no guards at the door, so they sneaked in, and when the cat waist approached the meeting hall, they heard Gongzi Xiong Jian say loudly: "We must break the body of Gongzi to 10,000 pieces, and avenge the night." "Gongzi Xiong Jian has followed Yangjian since he was a child, and his safety depends on the protection of Yangjiye, in his heart, Yangja Ye is also a teacher and a friend, and his feelings are deep.

Jiao Qiuxin also advocated killing the corpse beast pawn: "Childe is right, the corpse beast pawn is inhumane, all the brothers who came with me were killed by them, and the Tian Yong brothers also died tragically at the hands of the corpse demon." Pity my brothers, tell me how to go back to Qi Country and explain to my father, elders, and fellow villagers......" said the emotional place, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xiong Qiji sat on the couch, the wound on his shoulder had been bandaged, but it was still painful. He regretted a little, he shouldn't have fought against the corpse beast pawns, how good the fortified wall defense should be. But he is also faintly unwilling in his heart, in order to achieve his desires, sooner or later there will be this battle. How to go next, whether to fight or defend, Xiong Qiji didn't have a bottom in his heart, so he asked: "What else do you think?" ”

Fox Tu preemptively said: "Gongzi's martial arts are unfathomable, there are evil arts to protect himself, the corpse beasts are cruel and tyrannical, the combat power is amazing, and there are tiger-eating beasts eyeing the tigers. The people of my fox clan and the Xian clan are eight or nine dead, and they can't fight anymore. In my opinion, we should immediately retreat and go north to the Jin Kingdom to preserve our strength in order to make a comeback. ”

"No, you can't retreat, you have to avenge my brother." Jiao Qiuxin was a little excited: "If you want to go, you go." ”

"Brother Jiao, with your martial arts, will Gongzi defeat the opponent? You've seen how powerful the corpse beast pawn is, do you think you can get revenge? ”

"We also have the Divine Fire Soldiers, the Soul Warriors, and the Soul Wood Pawns, didn't we defeat the Corpse Beast Pawns?"

"Everyone, didn't I say that although Gongzi defeated the enemy, it was the credit of the Divine Fire Soldiers, the Soul Warriors, and the Soul Wood Soldiers, but how many of our Divine Fire Soldiers and Soul Warriors were killed or wounded? More than half, especially the Divine Fire Soldiers, the losses were even heavier, if it weren't for the Soul Wood Pawn coming, the outcome would be unpredictable. In my opinion, Childe may be holding back some big move, and it will be too late if he doesn't leave. ”

"Fart!" Fei Wuji said angrily, he didn't allow others to look down on the Divine Fire Soldier: "Do you think that if you run away, you will let you go?" Only by killing the prince and destroying the corpse beast pawn will we be safe. After speaking, he looked at Xiong Qiji, which means that you are the boss, you have the idea, if you want to be the king of Chu, the prince must pass the level of defeating the enemy.

"If you can beat the son, I won't leave." Fox slaughter-for-tat.

"If you want to go, you go." Fei Wuji didn't take Fox Tu and the others seriously.

"Alright, stop arguing." Xiong Qiji said: "Mr. Zhan, Prince Jizha, what do you think about the two? ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "If we leave now, what will happen to the people of the city?" What about the elderly and children? Now that the war has begun, we should fight to the end, defend Cai Cheng without losing it, and protect our families. Although Childe's defeat of the enemy is unfathomable, no matter how high the martial arts are, there will be weaknesses, we have already fought against him, and Childe's defeat of the enemy is nothing more than the large number of corpse beasts, as long as we work together and give full play to our advantages, we will definitely be able to defeat him. ”

"Okay, I'm willing to follow Teacher Zhan to kill the enemy and avenge the shooting night." Gongzi Xiong Jian said immediately.

Gongzi Jizha also said: "I am willing to help Brother Zhan defend the city and kill the enemy together." After speaking, he turned his head and asked Zhan Wuxian softly: "Are you really sure to defeat Gongzi and defeat the enemy?" ”

"I'm not sure."

"Then you dare to boast?"

"I can't help it, don't say that, you see these people are all scared by the boy's defeat."

"It's better for you."

Because the two of them spoke in very small voices, and at the same time, many people present shouted in unison that they were willing to stay and defend the city and help Xiong Qiji and Zhan Wuxian, so the question and answer between Gongzi Jizha and Zhan Wuxian came out and no one else heard him.

Xiong Qiji sighed and said, "Do you say that I am not willing to defeat the enemy? He can do anything, even the Holy Xiong Ao of the Chu State dares to summon it, I don't know what other means there are to defeat the enemy later, what if Cai Cheng can't hold it? To tell you the truth, my two brothers have fled to the Jin Kingdom. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, and they all said: "The two eldest sons with the highest status are so afraid of death, and the corpse beast soldiers have not yet entered the city, so they are so frightened that they run away." Even if they can defeat Gongzi and defeat the enemy in the future, how can the two of them convince the public and grasp the overall situation. It seems that Cai Gong is brave and wise, not afraid of danger, and will definitely be able to achieve great things. Yes, it's right that we follow Cai Gong. Such words rang out one after another. At the same time, people looked at the fox slaughter, killing first, and their eyes seemed to say: Did you collude with Gongzi Bi and Gongzi Heiqi to escape?

Outside the door, Ying Yi whispered: "What a coward." "I don't want to be heard by masters such as Zhan Wuxian, Fei Wuji, and Gongzi Jiza. Zhan Wuxian remained silent, he was already aware of Ying Yi and Kong Wan'er when they first arrived outside the door; Childe Jiza had also heard the voice when the two of them reached the window of the council chamber, but they ignored it; Fei Wuji didn't notice that there was someone outside the door until Ying Yi whispered, but he didn't have Zhan Wuxian and Gongzi Ji Zha calm. "Who!" Before the voice fell, the figure had already reached the window, and the Chengying Sword was already unsheathed, pointing at Ying Yi.

Fei Wuji saw that it was Kong Wan'er and a girl, both of whom were women dressed as men, and had already guessed that they were the princesses of Qin who came with their son Xiong Jian. At the same time, Fei Wuji also regretted a little, he shouldn't have been so reckless and casually showed off the Chengying Sword.

Both girls' eyes widened and they were taken aback. Kong Wan'er lost her voice and said: "Chengying ......"

"Don't talk, I'll explain to you later." Fei Wuji glanced at the two: "Come in with me." ”

Xiong Qiji saw Ying Yisa on the couch with a heroic appearance, beautiful and vulgar, clear and beautiful, with a trace of wildness in his eyes; And Kong Wan'er is elegant and beautiful, Chu Chu is pitiful, her eyes are red and swollen, and she is full of worries. Xiong Qiji thought to himself: This is a woman dressed as a man, and she can't hide it from me. I think it's still the younger one in front of me who is more cute and likeable. Thinking so in my heart, I couldn't help but be stunned.

"Father!" Childe Xiong Jian reminded his father.

Xiong Qiji came back to his senses and asked, "Who are the two of you?" ”

Gongzi Xiong Jian hurriedly replied: "This is the princess of Qin Guo, Yingyi, my good friend; This is Kong Wan'er, the daughter of Kong Xuan, the daughter of Wei Guo, and the fiancΓ©e of Mr. Fei. Because my father-in-law was injured, the war was tight, and we had just arrived, so we didn't have time to tell my father-in-law. ”

Xiong Qiji came back to his senses at this time, so he said, "I see." Miss Kong, I know that the Kong clan was wiped out by the enemy, I am very sad, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you. Xiong Qiji also heard that some people suspected that Kong Xuanzi was killed by Fei Wuji, and for the sake of his confidant, he couldn't help but say a few words for Fei Wuji.

Xiong Qiji glanced at Ying Yi again, just met Ying Yi's eyes, and hurriedly said: "The princess can come to Cai Cheng at this moment, Qi Ji is very moved, now the corpse beast soldiers are pressing the realm, Cai Cheng is in danger, Jian'er, you have to protect the two girls, you know?" ”

Gongzi Xiong Jian said: "Miss Kong has Mr. Fei's protection, and it is enough for me to protect Yingyi." ”

Ying Yi said: "I don't need your protection, I will take care of myself." ”

Xiong Qi said: "Aren't you afraid of corpse beasts, they are inhumane and kill people like hemp." ”

Ying Yi said: "What is there to fear when the eldest husband dies, we Qin people have never been afraid of death." Are you afraid? I'm not afraid."

These words came out of the mouth of a little girl, above this hall, in front of the heroes of the world, there is another taste. Those who advocated retreat and escape were all ashamed and blushing when they heard this. However, some people do not think so. Fox Tu stood up and said, "Don't talk about those useless, you haven't fought with the corpse beast pawns, and when you see them, you'll know what it means to be afraid." Cai Gong, whether we leave or stay, you decide. ”

Ying Yi said: "Don't underestimate people, when the time comes, I'll kill a few corpse beasts and show you, and see if you have anything to say." Coward. ”

"You ......" Fox Tu was speechless.

"That's it!" Xiong Qiji said: "I have decided, do what Mr. Zhan said, resist the wall, and live and die with Cai Cheng." ”

At this time, a soldier hurriedly came: "Report...... Big things are not good, ...... on the battlefield Corpse...... and all were resurrected. ”

When they heard this, they were all shocked. Zhan Wuxian's worst fear still happened, and he ran to the South City Tower without saying a word. Gongzi Jizha and Baili Benlei followed closely. Xiong Qiji also got up to see what was going on, and before he ran a few steps, he fell to the ground, next to Ying Yi, She picked up Xiong Qiji and said, "Are you okay?" If you get hurt, don't go. The tone was soft, not at all as brutal as the-for-tat confrontation with the fox butcher just now. Xiong Qiji raised his eyes and saw that Ying Yi's face was ruddy, with snow skin and jade neck, with smooth curves, half hidden in the collar of his clothes, as beautiful as a swan's neck, even more glamorous, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked.

Gongzi Xiong Jian and Fei Wuji both ran over. "Father, are you alright?" Fei Wuji also said: "Cai Gong is injured, so he should go back to the room to rest." I'll go and see the details of the city, and I'll report it. At the same time, Fei Wuji observed that Xiong Qiji's eyes were a little strange and confused when he looked at Ying Yi, so he had already guessed eight or nine points, so he said: "Gong Cai is seriously injured, and there is a lack of manpower in the house, why don't Princess Ying Yi take care of Gong Cai for a while, what do you think, son?" Gongzi Xiong Jian was simple-minded, so he readily agreed.

Ying Yi said: "I haven't walked around since I came to the Central Plains. ”

Gongzi Xiong Jiandao: "Now there are wars everywhere, there is nothing fun. When my father-in-law recovers from his injury, I will accompany you to Luoyi to have enough fun. ”

"Now that the corpse beasts outside the city are eyeing you, you can't go anywhere." Xiong Qi said: "My injuries are not serious, you two stay by my side for the time being, there is no danger with the protection of the Divine Flames." Mr. Fei, go and see what is happening in the city, and report to me quickly. ”

Fei Wuji agreed, walked out of the door, Kong Wan'er chased after him from behind, and asked, "Brother Fei, I have something to ask you." ”

"What?"

"How did my father die?"

Fei Wuji had already guessed that Wei Chong had gone to find Kong Wan'er at this time, so he said, "I said that it was Gongzi who killed the enemy. ”

"But ......"

"You don't believe me? Do you think I killed it? ”

"No, I believe in Brother Fei." Kong Wan'er said in horror: "Can you kill Gongzi and defeat the enemy?" ”

Fei Wuji grabbed Kong Wan'er's hands and said softly: "I will definitely kill Gongzi and avenge you." ”

Kong Wan'er couldn't help but shed tears: "Brother Fei...... I...... Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back. ”

Fei Wuji followed everyone to the city tower, raised his eyes and looked down, only to see the dark and gloomy battlefield of dead corpses, and the sparks of the underworld, from time to time emitting ghostly chirps. With this terrifying sound, the dead came back to life, and they slowly got up, and walked in the direction of the hill where the enemy had planted the flag. Not only the corpses of the corpse beast pawns were resurrected, but also the corpses of the coalition soldiers who died in battle, they rose from the dirt, and their swords were still stuck in their bodies, as if they were attracted by the magic of the enemy's banner, and they moved side by side with the corpses of the corpse beast pawns, moving in the same direction, including the fathers, sons, brothers, and brothers of the soldiers in the city.

A veteran soldier at the head of the city, seeing his son resurrected, was excited at first, and finally could be reunited with his son, and immediately wanted to go down to pick up his son, and then saw that his son was actually with the corpse beast, and some began to become extremely frightened, almost paralyzed to the ground. "Kid, what's wrong with you? Who will save my son? The veteran lost his voice. The veteran cried before he could get cried, when suddenly a divine rocket flew out and pierced the head of the veteran's son.

"Why did you kill my son?" The veteran saw that it was Fei Wuji's arrow, and his voice was a little timid, but he still said it.

"I'm saving him. Don't you see, your son has become a corpse? ”

The veteran also knew in his heart that his son was dead. But everyone has the heart of a son, even if the son becomes a corpse beast, he can't give it up.

"Come on, carry this veteran down." Fei Wuji ordered. A few soldiers came up and helped the veteran away.

Seeing that more and more corpses were resurrected, Zhan Wuxian shouted, "Prepare for war immediately." All the crossbowmen went up to the city walls, but all the corpses that moved towards the city gates were shot, and not one was left; Each city gate is equipped with a knife cart to prevent the corpse beasts from breaking through the city gate; Prepare all the torches in case the corpses attack the city. The soldiers who retreated from the battlefield rested first and were at their disposal at any time. The soul wood guards the east gate, led by the prince of Jiza; The Divine Fire Soldiers guarded the south gate, equipped with the archers of the Yang clan, led by Fei Wuji; The Jin Jin guards the west gate, led by a hundred miles of thunder; All the reserve soldiers were assembled to guard the north gate. The defenders of each gate must be guarded to the death, and no corpse beast pawn can be put in, and there must be no mistakes. "Zhan Wuxian dispatched them one by one, and the defenders of each gate were waiting for the corpse beasts to attack.

Immediately, Fei Wuji sent someone to inform Xiong Qiji of the situation outside the city. After a while, Gongzi Xiong Jian supported Xiong Qiji, and followed Ying Yi to the top of the city tower. Xiong Qiji looked down and immediately felt dizzy and unable to stand. Xiong Qi said in his heart: "What have I done?" ”

At this time, Zhan Wuxian and others rushed to help Xiong Qijian into the inner court of the city tower. Xiong Qi said: "It's all my fault, I regret that I shouldn't have listened to Mr. Zhan's words, so I have today's fiasco, so how can I face the people of Caicheng." ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "Cai Gong rest assured, he will definitely defend the city desperately and protect the people of the city." ”

Fei Wuji also said: "Cai Gong is seriously injured, it is good to recuperate, there are Divine Fire Soldiers, Soul Warriors, and Soul Wood Soldiers, Cai Cheng will not be lost, please rest assured Cai Gong." ”

"Good!" Xiong Qiji said: "I have to work for everyone. From now on, all the soldiers defending the city will be uniformly dispatched by Mr. Zhan, including the Shenhuo soldiers. ”

Everyone looked at each other, in fact, everyone was convinced that Zhan Wuxian was willing to fight side by side, because among the people present, he was the only one who defeated Gongzi and defeated the enemy, and also saved Cai Gongxiong from the battlefield and prevented Cai Cheng from falling.

"Whoa!" Everyone said in unison.

Seeing off Xiong Qiji, the defenders of Caicheng continued to wait for the battle, hoping to fight with the corpse beast pawns. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a day and a night, the corpse beast soldiers did not move at all, only the corpses got up from time to time in the battlefield and walked towards the enemy camp.

Quiet, dead silence. There was not even a single bird on the battlefield, and all that could be heard was the sound of the wind mixed with the smell of rotting corpses, which contained fear in the middle, and scraped from the battlefield to the faces of the soldiers defending the city, like an invisible knife, cutting the nerves of the soldiers.

One day, two days, and three days passed, and the soldiers defending the city were still able to concentrate, the changing of the guard was orderly, and everyone was tense and did not dare to be a little negligent. On the tenth day, seeing more and more corpses on the battlefield, a soldier had a whim: ten days, bored on the city wall, so many walking corpses below, it is simply a live target, and it is not bad to practice archery with them. So the soldier said, "Is there a test of archery?" ”

"How do you compete?" One soldier responded.

"See the walking corpse down there? Let's shoot with arrows, only the head, and see who shoots accurately. ”

"Okay, okay." There were quite a few people who responded.

So the soldier took his bow and aimed it at the head of the walking corpse, and shot an arrow right in the back of the walking corpse.

"Shhhh......h

The soldier's face flushed: "You can do it, you can come." ”

Another soldier also bent his bow and arrow, and with a bang, the arrow pierced the head of the walking corpse. This time the soldiers did not shout, only surprised, and stared at what was happening below. It turned out that the walking corpse was hit by two arrows, completely unconscious, and was still moving forward step by step.

At this time, Zhan Wuxian and others patrolled so far, and the soldiers told Zhan Wuxian of the incident. Zhan Wuxian also looked down at the city, and sure enough, a walking corpse was walking forward with an arrow stuck in its head. Zhan Wuxian was also taken aback, and looked left and right again, and found that a walking corpse could walk freely without half of its head, Zhan Wuxian was suddenly shocked in his heart, "Bring the arrows, and there is fuel." The soldiers were ready, and they set the arrow on fire, and with one shot of the arrow through the walking corpse, they saw that the walking corpse was like a withered tree, burning from top to bottom, accompanied by a terrible wail, took two steps forward, fell to the ground, and soon turned into a pile of black powder, and the walking corpse behind stepped on it, and continued to walk.

"Everyone, burn the arrowheads, don't let go of a single walking corpse, burn them all." Zhan Wuxian ordered: "Don't take it lightly and guard against the sneak attack of the corpse beasts." ”

"Whoa." The soldiers took up their bows and arrows, and shot them mercilessly whenever there was a corpse moving on the battlefield.

In this way, after five days, there was not a single corpse on the battlefield, and what came into view was a thick layer of black ash, swimming everywhere with the wind.

In this way, another fifteen days passed, and there was still no movement in the camp of the childe, only the pillar of divine fire was bubbling with blue flames, getting smaller and smaller, and it seemed to be about to be exhausted.

The soldiers on the city wall began to relax: "It seems that the corpse beast pawns dare not come out." ”

"I think so, Gongzi knows that we have Divine Fire Soldiers, Soul Gold Soldiers, and Soul Wood Soldiers, so I don't dare to attack."

"I think Gongzi is afraid of Mr. Zhan. I heard that last time in Weiguo, Mr. Zhan killed the enemy after dividing it by two in three strikes. ”

"yes, I've heard that, too. I see that Gongzi has already secretly run back to Yingdu. ”

"That is, you see if the flames of the Divine Fire Pillar are getting weaker and weaker, it seems that Gongzi took the enemy and the corpse beast pawn to run away early in the night. If we want to chase it, we can catch a few corpse beasts and come back, and we can count it as a meritorious service. ”

"I want to ask, does anyone know how Childe came back to life after defeating the enemy?" A deep voice asked.

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers immediately fell silent, and they looked towards the place where the voice had been spoken. I saw a short, thin and withered veteran, stepping on a stone under his feet, and kept looking in the direction of the Divine Fire Pillar: "Everyone is still patrolling, don't slack off." Since Childe can resurrect the enemy, he will not be defeated so easily. Maybe he's paralyzing us, like an opportunity. ”

"Old man, don't be funny, as if you are the roundworm in the belly of the childe's enemy. Haha......"

In the midst of laughter, thousands of tiger-eating beasts quietly flew out from the pillar of divine fire of Gongzi's enemy, and each tiger-eating beast crawled on its back with a corpse beast pawn, and under the cover of the dark night, flew towards the sky above Cai Cheng.
