Chapter 200 Blossoming Plums (Seeking to Complete)

Those who know the times are handsome, and those who change through the machine are heroes. From "Yanzi Spring and Autumn".

This sentence was earlier thought to be from the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", and the "Yanzi Chunqiu" was also considered a forgery, until the documents unearthed in the Han tomb of Yinque Mountain proved that the book was indeed the original book, and it was saved from being burned by the Qin Emperor.

This sentence is very in line with Yan Zi's lobbying style, as a vertical and horizontal master, Yan Zi does have the ability to say both sides of a sentence, but in essence, he is still gaining insight into the weakness of the other party, giving the other party a step down, and borrowing the slope to get off the donkey.

Qiu Zhu'er used this kind of rhetoric to say that Murong Ke, the king of Linhu, would join the enemy.

Murong Ke has feelings for Donghu, although it is hatred.

But if there is no love, how can there be such a great hatred that supports him from an exiled prince to a vassal king who can shake the power of Donghu.

For this reason, he even did not hesitate to bury more than 10,000 of his elite soldiers in this war, just to prove to other tribes that he was the most capable king to lead Donghu.

But unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, it seemed to be in vain.

In the end, there were only 3,000 of the 16,000 Linhu warriors left, which made Murong Ke's heart like a knife, but he never had the intention of rebelling, because he thought that this was a normal sacrifice, even if the king of Donghu was ready to let his last 3,000 men and horses also be buried under the Qin crossbow, he had no complaints, because this was the honor and obligation of the Donghu warriors.

But Qiu Zhu'er's words reminded him.

"King Donghu, who sits on the throne, has never been the most warrior, because he never goes into battle to kill the enemy. Such a Donghu has long been different from the Donghu imagined by the king, such a Donghu has been controlled by the evil gods, and when the king of Donghu is not the most heroic warrior in the whole clan, then Donghu is not far from extinction. At the last moment before setting out, Qiu Zhu'er began to say to Murong Ke, who was already wearing armor and carrying a bow.

Murong Ke's face was rough, and his beard was terrifying, and he stared at Qiu Zhu'er and frowned, "As long as I am here, Donghu will not perish." ”

Qiu Zhu'er smiled and leaned over to hug Murong Ke, "The king is the only king of Donghu, but your brother and fellow clansmen want to send you to death." ”

"I will not die, the crossbow arrows of the Qin army will be split in half by my treasure sword, along with their city walls." Murong Ke hugged Qiu Zhu'er and laughed.

"But the warriors of the tribe do not have the bravery of the king." Qiu Zhu'er sighed faintly, "The king who has no warriors, how can he return to Donghu again?" Is the king going to wait for more than ten years? ”

Murong Ke frowned slightly, his calloused hands pinched Qiu Zhu'er's chin, and narrowed his eyes, "What do you want to say." ”

Qiu Zhu'er raised her head and breathed a little poorly, but her expression was still soft, and at the same time, the corners of her mouth were distracting, and she said softly, "I have the flesh and blood of the king." ”

Murong Ke's breath stagnated, and his originally fierce expression looked a little dull.

It's been more than ten years, I don't know why, no matter how hard he tries, he doesn't have an heir, this has always been a deep pain in Murong Ke's heart, and now hearing this news is no less than his accession to the throne and becoming the king.

Qiu Zhu'er hooked the corners of her mouth, grabbed Murong Ke's hand with both hands, and put it on her lower abdomen, through the leather armor, she seemed to be able to feel a life beating inside.

Murong Ke's hands trembled uncontrollably, "Really? ”

"Aman said that the fierce aura of the land is condensed, and the king's child must be a natural flying dragon." Qiu Zhu'er laughed softly.

Murong Ke's breath stagnated, withdrew his hand, pursed his lips and stared at Qiu Zhu'er's beautiful face, falling into silence.

"King, the hour is almost up, and the King of Endless Ends has sent someone to urge." At this time, a guard came to give an announcement.

"Let them wait!" Murong Ke snorted, like a hunting lion, sitting cross-legged on the ground, "I can't let my son go to war with me, I'm going to send you to Oman." ”

"Oman can't take me in, and even if he could, the king who lost his warriors wouldn't be able to keep us." Qiu Zhu'er knelt on the ground, lying on Murong Ke's lap like a kitten and whispered.

"Whoever dares to touch you, I will definitely let him be crushed, even if it is the king of Donghu!" Murong Ke snorted in a deep voice.

"So, even so, the king will still choose Donghu?" Qiu Zhu'er smiled dumbly, and there was no disappointment in her tone.

"I am the King of Linhu in Donghu." Murong Ke frowned.

"You should be the king of Donghu, the one who drinks and eats meat in the king's tent at this time, and he is the spokesman of the evil spirit." Qiu Zhu'er said in a deep voice: "You are the real king of Donghu!" ”

The corners of Murong Ke's eyes twitched, provoking Qiu Zhu'er's face, and his inky pupils flashed with rare tenderness and entanglement, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Commit yourself to surrendering to the Qin army for the time being." Qiu Zhu'er said in a deep voice.

Murong Ke's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the hand holding Qiu Zhu'er's chin instantly grabbed Qiu Zhu'er's slender neck, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, but he didn't speak.

"The powerful king of the Qin army has already seen it, even if Donghu wins this victory, do you think he can still withstand the wrath of the Middle Qin Dynasty? Although there are only 200,000 Qin troops in Liaoyang City, there are countless Qin troops in the Central Plains, and what else is there after the battle of Donghu? Qiu Zhu'er felt the pain in her throat and said sharply.

The answer was that Murong Ke was unmoved, just when Qiu Zhu'er felt that he was about to suffocate, Murong Ke let go of his hand and looked at Qiu Zhu'er, who was lying on his lap and breathing heavily, his face was white and red, "You have already colluded with the Qin army, right?" ”

"The Qin army has been mixed into Donghu, the king should be able to know that the demise of Donghu is inevitable, in the face of such a Donghu who is about to perish, the king surrendered to the Qin army at this time, not a traitor, but to preserve the purest bloodline of Donghu." Qiu Zhu'er breathed heavily and said in a hoarse voice.

Murong Ke raised his head expressionlessly and looked at his own royal flag in the tent, and after falling into a long silence, he looked at Qiu Zhu'er deeply, and his voice became deeper and lower, "Can you really preserve your bloodline?" ”

Qiu Zhu'er nodded vigorously, although she didn't know which bloodline she was kept.

"Okay." Murong Ke nodded, picked up Qiu Zhu'er, walked out of the camp and threw his war horse, and then let out a loud shout, "Go!" ”

The raid team of less than 20,000 people galloped towards Liaoyang City in the distance, and after entering the position of the cordon between the two sides, the banner of the Lin Hu Department suddenly turned in one direction, but it did not attract the attention of the two departments of the Wuxuan Order, they thought that this was the tactic of King Lin Hu.

Murong Ke rushed to Liaoyang City with Lin Hubu, and finally stopped at a distance of three hundred zhang from the South City Gate, and everyone looked at Murong Ke at the forefront suspiciously.

Murong Ke looked at the tall city wall in the distance, and could vaguely see the light refracted by the sharp and dazzling crossbow arrows of Qin's crossbow.

Qiu Zhu'er snuggled in Murong Ke's arms and said softly, "If the king is unwilling, we can go south now, and maybe we can go back to Linhu from the Luan River." ”

"I can't go back." Murong Ke suddenly let out a sneer, "Let the Qin people raise the flag." ”

Qiu Zhu'er was overjoyed when she heard this, leaned over and said something to the guards beside her, and the Zhu family, who had blended into the Lin Hu department, stepped forward immediately.

Murong Ke looked at the Zhu family dressed as Hu Ren and frowned.

The Zhu family arched their hands at Murong Ke and smiled, "The bird chooses the wood to rest, Your Excellency has made a correct decision." ”

The corners of Murong Ke's mouth showed an inexplicable mockery, but he didn't speak.

The Zhu family faintly felt that something was wrong, but they still replaced it with Wang Ben's handsome flag, which was specially given to him by Wang Ben as a precaution.

The Zhu family was like an arrow at this time, even if they noticed Murong Ke's, they had no time to take care of it, and after changing the handsome flag, they rushed towards Liaoyang City.

Seeing that the Zhu family had run a hundred zhang away, and the Qin army still hadn't fired crossbow arrows, Murong Ke turned his head to his subordinates with blank and stunned faces and said, "I'm going to enter the city." ”

"King! What do you want?! Murong Ke's lieutenant was full of astonishment.

"When we come out again, it will be the king of Donghu." Murong Ke squinted, his eyes flashing with ferocity that swept over everyone's faces, then turned the horse's head and walked forward along the Zhu family's hooves.

Nearly 100 horsemen from Lin Hu's brigade followed behind, and all the rest looked at each other for a moment, and finally silently followed.

Seeing that Liaoyang City was getting closer and closer, everyone's hearts fell to their throats, especially after being targeted by those crossbow arrows on the city wall, if it wasn't for Murong Ke walking in the front, they might have to run away.

When he was away from the city wall, the city gate opened, and Murong Ke sped up his horse's speed and rushed towards the dense Qin spearmen in the city gate without fear.

The Qin spearmen automatically made way for Murong Ke and his subordinates to enter the city, closed the city gate again, and then surrounded everyone.

Everyone in the Lin Hu tribe clenched the weapons in their hands, and Le Ma was nervous and at a loss.

"Dismount." Murong Ke let out a loud shout and jumped off the war horse.

The others hesitated and dismounted.

"Disarm." Murong Ke let out a loud shout from his car and threw the long knife in his hand to the ground.

"Warriors, please take a break." At this time, a Xuanjia officer walked out of the spear team, spoke fluent Donghu dialect, and said with a smile.

"They are all tigers in the mountains and forests, eagles in the sky." Murong Ke said to the Xuanjia officer.

"We should be careful to entertain guests from afar." The Xuanjia officer smiled and waved his hand, and more than 3,000 soldiers were respectfully 'invited' out by the Qin army.

Seeing his soldiers walking away, Murong Ke looked at Qiu Zhu'er beside him, "They'll be fine, right?" ”

"Of course, they are the most powerful warriors of the Donghu royal tribe." Qiu Zhu'er smiled and nodded.

Murong Ke showed a soft smile that did not match his appearance, nodded as if he was satisfied, and opened his arms with a chuckle, "Come on." ”

Qiu Zhu'er's expression froze, and she subconsciously took a step back, staring at Murong Ke with wide eyes.

The Xuanjia officer raised his eyebrows slightly, waved his hand and motioned for everyone to take a step back, looking at the two of them with interest.

"King, what are you going to do?" Qiu Zhu'er swallowed her saliva, her eyes were fixed on Murong Ke, and she spoke a little nervously.

"I watched you be born, watched you grow up, watched you become Lin Hu's Yanzhi, when you were twelve years old, you said you loved me." There was a rare tenderness at the corner of Murong Ke's mouth, "But the people of the Qiu clan, how can they love me, the executioner who made your clan perish and become a slave?" ”

Qiu Zhu'er's face became more and more pale.

"I was supposed to cut off your little head with a single sword." Murong Ke's eyes also became gentle, "But I like the way you looked at me at that time, it reminds me of the foal I tamed for the first time, if I tell you that the Qiu clan's extermination really has nothing to do with me, are you willing to believe it?" ”

Qiu Zhu'er bit her lower lip stubbornly, and her eyes gradually turned red.

"Yes, after all, I really don't have much convincing when I say this." Murong Ke smiled self-deprecatingly, "At the beginning, Sang Yang told me that the Qiu clan is a poisonous snake that cannot be trusted, and I don't know when it will be bitten, but I didn't believe it, just because your eldest father helped me, in fact, the truth of the civil strife in the city was provoked by your Qiu clan and the Zhai clan, and was finally suppressed by the Sang clan and the Zhou clan." ”

Qiu Zhu'er's expression froze, but she immediately shook her head and said coldly, "That has nothing to do with me, I just want to seek justice for the clansmen who have been tortured and killed by you over the years." ”

"You see, you Central Plains people are so unreasonable, even though they are your clansmen, but you don't hold those people accountable for making a lot of mistakes." Murong Ke sneered and shook his head, and looked around at the surrounding Qin army, "Maybe, this is also the key to your victory, protect each other, whether it's right or wrong." ”

Qiu Zhu'er took a deep breath, seemed to ease her mentality, and frowned, "The king hasn't said yet, what do you want me to do." ”

"You didn't put on my armor's goggles today." Murong Ke grinned.

Qiu Zhu'er's body stiffened, and his hand subconsciously touched the short knife on his waist.

"How could you, who have always been meticulous in doing things, make such a mistake? And along the way, you have been groping for the position of my heart, and you should be looking for the best position to go under the knife. Murong Ke grinned and tore open his leather armor, pointed to the location of his heart, and smiled with a smile on his face, "Here, remember to use some force and pierce my entire body, so that the blood will not spray on you and stain your skirt today, this is the best one I think you look at." ”

Qiu Zhu'er's body began to tremble violently, twitching the short knife on her waist aimed at Murong Ke, her voice became sharp because of excitement, "You know everything?!" ”

"When you lie, it's always the prettiest time." Murong Ke smiled gently, "Those warriors in the clan will be handed over to you, looking at them for so many years for your Qiu clan's saddle before and after the horse, I know that although you are vicious, you are not bad." ”

Qiu Zhu'er bit her bottom tightly, her red eyes flashed with water, and she asked in a choked voice, "Why?" ”

"Taming a foal comes at a price." Murong Ke grinned, reached out to grasp the handle of the short knife, and took a big step forward.

The sound of a short knife piercing the heart, a bit like the sound of a balloon leaking, is not so deafening, but it makes people's scalps tingle.

The Xuanjia officer let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword, the banter in his eyes turned solemn, he glanced at Qiu Zhu'er, who was already completely stupid, and arched his hand at Murong Ke, who was still indifferent with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, "It's really a big husband." ”

Murong Ke blinked, his lips moved, and finally fell backwards like a fallen wooden pillar.

Qiu Zhu'er subconsciously wanted to pull him, but he forgot that he was holding the handle of the knife in his hand, and the moment the short knife left Murong Ke's body, the warm and salty blood sprayed Qiu Zhu'er's body as he said.

On the pure white dress she was wearing, flowers bloomed.

"Why?" Qiu Zhu'er sat down on the ground, reached out to grab Murong Ke's hand, and muttered.

"I don't know what you're asking, but I think most of what he just said should be a lie." The Xuanjia officer blinked, "But there is a sentence, it should be true." ”

Qiu Zhu'er looked up at the young Xuanjia officer blankly.

"He should, really like you." The Xuanjia officer scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

"Zhao Tuo, the distinguished guest is dead, you are guilty, and you still have the heart to talk nonsense here?" Wang's disgruntled voice came from behind him.

The Xuanjia officer who was called Zhao Tuo's body trembled, turned his head and said with a sneer, "The adjutant general is wronged, this person is bent on death, and the last general is also at a loss." ”

"It's a good man with a true temperament." Wang Huai walked over, looked at Murong Ke in a pool of blood, and sighed lightly, "Let's bury it." ”

"Originally, I wanted to use his head to ask for credit, but now it seems that it is better to forget it." The Zhu family also walked over and sighed lightly: "Madame, let's stop when you cook the corpse." ”

"No, the head that the gentleman wants, just take it and execute it as agreed." Qiu Zhu'er's voice was neither sad nor joyful, and she gently closed Murong Ke's eyes, and then raised her hand and fell.

The Zhu family, Zhao Tuo, and the surrounding Qin soldiers all shivered at the same time, and these dignified nine-foot men were shocked by a seemingly weak girl at this moment.
