The capital really blocked the enemy's strong attack, not only built a number of walls within the wall, but also set a fire to form a wall of fire, which finally shook the morale and fighting spirit of the enemy.

But they did not dare to retreat immediately.

Drums sounded in the distance, coming from all directions, and in the darkness of the night, it seemed that countless Chu troops were about to pour out.

"Reinforcements, this is our reinforcements! You have surrounded the capital, and now you are besieged yourself. The King of the East China Sea still couldn't understand where the Chu army had so many troops, but it didn't hinder his excitement at all, he turned his head to look at Qiu Hong, and said with a smile: "If you talk about 'striking the east and attacking the west', the gods and ghosts are not as good as the Great Chu Emperor." ”

"You brought the army back from outside the Cypriots?" Qiu Hong's face changed slightly.

"What do you say?" The King of the East Sea asked rhetorically, recalling what he had seen and heard in Hangu Pass, and felt that it was unlikely.

Chuhun ascended the high platform again.

The king of the East China Sea was excited in his heart, looking into the distance, hoping that the Chu army would sweep in and immediately annihilate all the enemy troops, and suddenly remembered something, and his heart trembled violently.

"If the enemy army is defeated, they will kill us to vent their anger, right?" The East Sea King asked.

If the enemy army is defeated, the king of the East China Sea and others will be left behind for humiliation, and once they are defeated, they may become angry and kill all the Chu people in the general.

Zhao Ruosu snorted.

The King of the East China Sea paled, "Your Majesty sent us to negotiate peace, in fact, to confuse the enemy army and make them think that the Chu army would not attack. After a pause, he asked, "Did you know about this before you came?" ”

Zhao Ruosu shook his head, "It's impossible for Your Majesty to risk leaking secrets and revealing this matter to anyone in advance. ”

The King of the East Sea thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face, "That's right." In any case, we have made a meritorious service. ”

Zhao Ruosu did not answer.

On the high platform, the gongs sounded continuously, and more than a dozen nobles in gorgeous costumes hurried down, got on their horses and galloped everywhere.

"They're going to meet reinforcements from the periphery." The King of the East Sea guessed.

"Reinforcements are not opponents." Zhao Ruosu whispered.

The emperor was bluffing again, and the king of the East China Sea also figured it out, and was shocked in his heart, this time the opponent was the god and ghost Da Shan Yu himself, and the enemy army would not be easily frightened, but would fight to the death.

The King of the East Sea stood on tiptoe and saw that the shadowy enemy army did show some signs of confusion, but it had not yet reached the point of collapse, and there were people everywhere shouting in strange language, it should be regrouping the army and preparing for battle.

Farther away, drums beat incessantly, and there was a faint sound of shouting, and the two armies seemed to have clashed.

"Your Majesty, don't go to war in person." The king of the East China Sea was anxious.

Several cavalrymen galloped to the stage, stopped under the stage, and loudly reported the situation, and the king of the East China Sea listened attentively, but could not understand a word.

Zhao Ruosu suddenly stepped forward and shouted loudly.

The East Sea King was even more surprised, because he still couldn't understand a word, and Zhao Ruosu could actually speak a foreign Chinese language.

The interpreter among the Chu envoys was also very unexpected, even they couldn't talk directly with the people of the gods and ghosts, and they needed to rely on the other party's interpreter, although Qiu Hong could speak Chu, but he didn't do the thing of interpreting, and every time he discussed, he still sent many people to convey it heavily.

Even more surprised were the enemy soldiers, who understood.

Zhao Ruosu continued to shout, and the King of the East China Sea quickly understood, Zhao Ruosu shouted over and over again just a sentence.

The King of the East China Sea still didn't understand the meaning of his words, but when he saw that the enemy soldiers were all frightened and confused, even the guards guarding the Chu envoy looked at each other, and they didn't stop Zhao Ruosu's shouting.

The king of the East China Sea also shouted, Zhao Ruosu's words were very short, and he would learn it as soon as he learned it.

The two shouted in unison, and finally provoked a reaction, Qiu Hong walked down, stood on several steps, and gave a loud order, and the guards immediately drew their swords and spears, forcing all the Chu envoys to kneel.

The strangely styled scimitar was placed in front of him, and the King of the East China Sea and Zhao Ruosu shut up.

Qiu Hong came to the two of them and laughed angrily: "The Chu people are really treacherous, and they want to disturb the morale of the army with lies. ”

The King of the East China Sea was about to sneer at him, but Zhao Ruosu touched him and signaled him not to speak.

"It's a fact, not a lie." Zhao Ruosu said.

Qiu Hong took a step back and looked at Zhao Ruosu for the first time.

The guards retreated, Zhao Ruosu slowly got up, stared at Qiu Hong, and said word by word: "When did the gods and ghosts leave the army?" I guess it's been a few days. What happened in the rear? And there is a rebellion? The Chu army that set out from the Western Regions was not defeated, right? ”

Qiu Hong's face was red and his ears were red, and he didn't say a word.

The king of the East China Sea also wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Zhao Ruosu waving his hand.

"Who are you? How dare you talk such nonsense? Chuhun finally spoke.

"I'm a person who treats sins in Dachu, and I don't dare to talk nonsense, just make a little factual guess. If he is dissatisfied with his cousin, he will kill him when he first arrives in the capital, and he will never wait until he attacks the city. But he had more urgent matters, and left early, and you people pretended that he was still there, imitating his orders, but there was hesitation everywhere. The gods and ghosts are not dying, right? ”

"Shut up! Spirits and ghosts...... Zhengtianzi is very good, and he is on the high platform at the moment. ”

The king of the East China Sea finally understood what he and Zhao Ruosu were shouting just now, either "Zhengtianzi has escaped" or "Zhengtianzi is fake", he only wondered where Zhao Ruosu learned this sentence.

Zhao Ruosu sneered, "If he was on the stage, he wouldn't send you down at all, and he would directly order me to be executed, without any explanation." As I said, you pretend to be a god and ghost, only his cruelty and ruthlessness, but not his courage and fearlessness, and soon you will see that it is not only me who is suspicious of this, but also the generals in the army, and if you still hesitate at that time, everyone will have to see with their own eyes what is on the high platform. ”

Qiu Hong's face changed color, and he was about to speak, when the King of the East China Sea also stood up, he didn't want to kneel down like this anymore, "That's right, capturing the city and humiliating the enemy is a big thing, why should the gods and ghosts give it to you?" Because he's not here at all. ”

Chuhun raised his hand to give orders to the guards.

Riding in the distance, the person above seemed to be a general, and he shouted from afar, and his tone seemed to be anxious and angry.

Qiu Hong had just received Zhao Ruosu's "guidance", and he didn't want to hesitate anymore, so his raised hand fell and immediately gave an order.

Several soldiers raised their short guns, but did not immediately move, Qiu Hong quarreled with the comer, and gave a more stern order, and the soldiers threw their short guns and shot the general in public.

Qiu Hong hurriedly ran to the stage.

"Is it true that the gods and ghosts are not here?" The King of the East Sea asked in a low voice.

"I'm guessing."

The East Sea King was taken aback, "But you can say their words." ”

"It's not difficult to learn these days, listen more, 'Zhengtianzi' They talk about it every day, pick up things and ask them if they are true or false, just listen to the answer."

The King of the East Sea admired, "Will the enemy believe our words?" ”

"The army is unstable, and he will believe anything, unless the god and ghost Da Dan Yu show up in person, but I guess he won't. Qiu Hong did a stupid thing just now, he should have pretended to ask for instructions before killing someone, but he gave a direct order from the audience, which should make the officers and men in the army even more suspicious. ”

The King of the East Sea looked left and right, and indeed, the enemy troops in his sight, including the guards, were all panicked, which was even more obvious than just now.

A bearded officer ran over and asked a stern question.

The king of the East China Sea didn't understand, and he didn't know how to answer, Zhao Ruosu didn't understand either, but he dared to speak, it was extremely concise, it should be just one word.

The king of the East China Sea also repeated, this is the second half of the sentence just now, probably the meaning of "false".

The officer's face changed suddenly, and he actually looked up at the high platform.

Under the high platform, everyone was not allowed to raise their heads, this was the rule, but the officers blatantly violated it.

Several guards stepped forward and faced each other with knives and guns.

The officer ignored it, looked up for a moment, spoke loudly to his own people, and some of them approached, but the guards retreated, but did not put away their swords and guns.

The officer said a few more words and took the lead and walked towards the stage.

Zhao Ruosu whispered: "These people are the people of the gods and ghosts, and they have been kept in the dark all along. ”

"How do you know?" The East Sea King asked in surprise.

"Look at it more, the expressions of the clansmen and the slaves are different, and the more you listen, the tone of your voice is even more different. The guards are slaves, these people are not. ”

More than a dozen people walked towards the stage, the king of the East China Sea and other Chu envoys raised their heads and followed with their eyes, the guards did not stop them, and soon, even they looked up to observe.

Then several horsemen came galloping, and when they saw that someone had climbed up the steps to the high platform, they stopped far away, and after a while, some people turned their horses and ran.

The stagers walked slowly, and until they were halfway through the walk, they quickened their pace.

Suddenly, they stopped.

Torches lined up on both sides of the steps, but at the top there was darkness and tents, and the people below could not see clearly, only to see the stage stopped, and soon they knelt down.

The East China Sea King's heart sank, and Zhao Ruosu seemed to have guessed wrong.

A figure walked within the range of the firelight and stopped in front of a dozen officers, allowing the people in the audience to see a little more clearly.

Perhaps because of the upward gaze, the figure appeared extremely tall, wearing a robe and a hood on its head, and its face was indistinct.

The figure did not speak, his right hand drooped, took off the helmet of the leading officer, threw it down, the helmet jumped all the way down the steps, and then he gently stroked the officer's hair, very gently, the officer remained motionless, as if he had been caught in an evil spell.

The figure suddenly exerted force, grabbed the officer's hair tightly, and pulled forward, the officer turned over and fell from the steps, without saying a word, and when he reached the stage, his whole body curled up and trembled.

One guard rushed forward and stabbed down with one shot, followed by more guards and more guns.

The king of the East China Sea had no color, and Zhao Ruosu whispered: "The gods and ghosts must have hidden diseases, and they dare not show their true faces, but unfortunately I won't say this." ”

The King of the East China Sea looked at Zhao Ruosu in astonishment, "You still dare to guess?" ”

"It's not Da Chu who loses, why can't you guess?" Zhao Ruosu asked rhetorically.

It was not Da Chu who was lost, but it might be the Chu envoy, the king of the East China Sea raised his head and looked at it again, and he was shocked in his heart, feeling that the figure was staring at him.

"I should try to get the princess to have a son." The King of the East Sea muttered. (To be continued.) )
