After listening to Chen Wang's story, Zhang Xun felt very complicated and even felt sad. He began to wonder if what he had done was worthwhile, and what was the point of fighting so hard.

He captured King Chen alive, and he had already turned defeat into victory, but looking at King Chen's thin and rickety body, Zhang Xun suddenly felt compassion, for some reason, he tried to find a reason for this victory, so he asked inexplicably: "Since you know that Chen Guo is weak, why don't you respect the Son of Heaven and end up being attacked?" ”

After hearing this, King Chen sneered: "I thought that Mr. Zhang was smart and wise, and he should know the internal reasons for Wu's attack on our country, but I don't want you to make a fool of yourself and ask knowingly?" ”

Zhang Xun was embarrassed by this question, and he was speechless for a while, so he had to hesitate and say: "That...... Then why don't you think about strengthening the country and enriching the people, and be a good king? ”

Hearing this, King Chen just shook his head, smiled without saying a word, and moved with difficulty on crutches.

"A king is a good king!" The old slave suddenly said in a loud voice.

Zhang Xun turned to look at the old slave, only to see that the old slave looked excited, put one hand on his chest, and said sincerely: "The king loves the people like a son, and the people all support him." In order to recuperate, the king reduced taxes and taxes, but the palace fell into disrepair year after year, every time it rained, the palace would leak, I often wanted the king to repair the palace, but the king would say every time that the people were not easy, don't waste money. The heart of the king and the power of the country is even more heaven and earth! In order to strengthen the country, the king recruited talents, reformed the official system, and built an army. Even if your 20,000-strong army attacked, you couldn't conquer us easily! It's hateful that our country is in turmoil, it took the king ten years to pacify the government, otherwise, our Chen State has already recovered its former glory, how can we be bullied?! ”

Hearing the words of the old slave, Zhang Xun nodded secretly, judging from the battles during this time, although Chen Guo's troops are small, his combat effectiveness is very strong, and the command system of the army is a hundred times better than that of Wu's army. Even now, the victory was not easy to come by.

"Last year, the Panshui River flooded, and the king personally led people to control the water, but he was hit by mud and rocks. At last the water was cured, but the king's leg was lame! How can such a king be said not to be a good king! We, the people of Chen, are willing to die for the king! The old slave is also willing! With that, the old slave knelt down in front of King Chen, and the old man burst into tears.

Looking at the pair of master and servant, Zhang Xun fell into deep thought, he was entangled, and there were thousands of thoughts in his heart. For some reason, he didn't dare to look at King Chen, he seemed to be able to imagine King Shen in King Chen, although he had heard that King Shen was a stupid and mediocre king since he was a child. But if King Shen could be as enlightened and loving as King Chen, perhaps the Shen Kingdom would not have perished, and he would not have been ruined and displaced.

However, everything about the Shen Kingdom has become dusty history for many years, and I am afraid that the traces of its existence have long been wiped out without a trace. In this land of China, people may have long forgotten that there is such a small vassal state as Shen State.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Xun had already led King Chen to the two stone pillars, that is, the center of the entire circular underground palace.

At this moment, he only heard the "click" sound of the metal chain hitting behind him, Zhang Xun turned around in response, and saw that the old slave was pulling the iron chain on the pillar hard, and the sound of the metal hitting came from inside this pillar.

Zhang Xun just wanted to step forward to stop the old slave, but suddenly, the top of his head rushed into the water, and a huge stream of water poured in, smashing Zhang Xun to the ground with his head and face. Zhang Xun choked on his saliva, stretched out his sword against the ground, and then he barely stood up, he looked up, and saw that a huge gap was revealed in the top circle of the underground palace, and the water was rushing from that gap. It turned out that the iron chain pulled by the old slave just now was the mechanism that controlled the opening and closing of the palace roof.

The water was turbulent, like a giant tree running through the dungeon, and the trunk was as thick as three people hugging each other. The water rampaged through the enclosed dungeon, stirring up gale and splashes. Soon, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared, and it whirled and swirled, like a huge mouth of blood, chewing the three of them into it.

The old slave grabbed the iron chain with one hand and King Chen with the other, and the two of them were resisting the whirlpool and trying their best to approach the stone pillar. Zhang Xun was anxious in his heart, hurriedly picked up his sword, and chased after the two of them, he must not let King Chen escape under his nose, after all, King Chen is related to the victory or defeat of this war and the life and death of thousands of brothers.

The water pouring down grew stronger and stronger, and the water in the dungeon became deeper and deeper, and soon it was up to the waist. The whirlpool spun wildly, and the huge momentum made it difficult for Zhang Xun to move an inch, and King Chen and the old slave had iron chains to rely on, and although they moved slowly, they also reached the side of the stone pillar, and they were only a few steps away from the Shengmen. The heavy wooden door was hit by the current, and spun outward to the maximum angle, forming a vertical angle with the wall of the dungeon, and the wooden door cut the water horizontally, resisting the momentum of the whirlpool head-on.

Suddenly, the old slave grabbed the chain with his right hand, rushed forward, and grabbed the frame of the birth gate with the fingers of his left hand, and the water rushed against his back, and the huge pressure held him down, and the old slave looked hideous, looking extremely painful, and his mouth kept screaming in struggle.

Zhang Xun looked through the mist, and then understood the old slave's intentions. It turned out that the old slave actually used his body to build a bridge! His arms and back were the deck of the bridge, and King Chen was crawling along his back towards Shengmen.

"King! Fast! Fast! Come on! The old slave roared in pain, and the old man's arm burst into green tendons.

King Chen was slammed on the back of the old slave by the whirlpool, and he dragged a broken leg forward with difficulty, although his steps were difficult, but he was only one step away from the birth gate. As long as you can catch the door, you can escape.

Zhang Xun also desperately sped up his pace, success or failure is a matter of life and death.

Soon, the stagnant water was up to his chest, and the whirlpool was even more turbulent, Zhang Xun finally grabbed the iron chain, which was close to King Chen.

"King! Fast! I'm going to...... Can't hold it! The old slave's face was distorted and distorted by the severe pain, his body twitched like a spasm, his left fingernail was deeply embedded in the wooden door, and blood flowed from the broken fingertips and mixed into the water, leaving only a trace of Yin Hong's water.

said that it was too late, but I saw that King Chen raised his lame leg, kicked the old slave's waist and pushed forward, jumped out half a step, and finally grabbed the frame of the raw door.

At this time, the stagnant water has reached the neck, and the underwater undercurrent makes it impossible to settle down. Seeing that King Chen was about to escape, Zhang Xun was determined to fight to the death, he threw away his sword, jumped forward as best he could, and a fierce man plunged into the water, although the undercurrent was fierce, but Zhang Xun still barely grabbed the frame of the wooden door.

However, just as Zhang Xun's feet touched the ground and were about to get up and get out of the water, the old slave spread out his hands, loosened the iron chain and the wooden door, and then dragged Zhang Xun to death, desperate to drag Zhang Xun into the whirlpool.

Zhang Xun gritted his teeth and slammed the door, he tried his best to break free from the old slave, but the old slave just desperately insisted on letting go. The old slave had a hideous face, like a vicious water ghost, entangled Zhang Xun to death. Fortunately, Zhang Xun is young and strong, even though the old slave spared no effort to stalk, Zhang Xun still held the door steadily.

King Chen finally entered the passage behind the wooden door, Zhang Xun roared angrily, put his body against the door with all his strength, and dragged the old slave to chase after King Chen.

Zhang Xun stretched out his hand to grab King Chen, and was about to catch it, but the old slave was coiled on Zhang Xun's body, pounced forward, and grabbed Zhang Xun's arm back. Then the old slave turned around and tried to pick open his fingers. Zhang Xun burst out with great strength, and his fingertips slammed at the side of the door, and the old slave couldn't pull it open at all. The old slave was so anxious that he plunged into the water and bit Zhang Xun's left hand fiercely.

Zhang Xun's hand was in severe pain, so he had to kick the old slave, but he couldn't do anything underwater, and the old slave still didn't let go. In the end, the old slave arched his body, kicked the wooden door and fell backwards fiercely, and finally dragged Zhang Xun down the whirlpool.

The two were swallowed by the water in an instant, Zhang Xun desperately grabbed underwater, and fortunately caught the iron chain of the stone pillar. Zhang Xun desperately stabilized his body, and when he turned around, the old slave was struggling in the water, he kept choking on the water, and shouted with his last strength: "King! Woohoo...... Old Slave ...... Woohoo...... The old slave is gone! May the next life be ...... And to serve you! ”

After saying this, the old slave completely disappeared into the torrent and never floated again.

The stagnant water had completely submerged over his head, and King Chen had disappeared into the secret passage behind the Shengmen. Zhang Xun jumped out of the water, took a sharp breath, and then got into the water, he kicked the stone pillar and struggled to jump towards the door, and was about to grab the wooden door, his fingers were only a millimeter away from the door frame, but the water flow was too great, and the whirlpool swallowed him into his mouth again.

Zhang Xun was smashed on another stone pillar by the whirlpool, his chest was shocked, his breath was chaotic, and he choked on a large mouthful of water. But he didn't give up, he still wanted to make a last effort, he plunged into the water again, trying to resist the undercurrent and swim towards Shengmen, but the speed of the current far exceeded his speed, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not move half a step forward.

Suddenly, Zhang Xun had a flash of inspiration, he turned around under the water and swam in the direction of the whirlpool, although the whirlpool had a huge suction, constantly pulling him towards the center, but the rotating current also helped him quickly swim more than half a circle. Seeing that the shengmen appeared in front of him again, Zhang Xun resisted the suction of the whirlpool, and at the moment of passing by the shengmen, he stretched out his arm and grabbed the door frame. This time, two fingers barely grabbed the door frame, he struggled, resisted, but the water flow was too huge, the power of the two fingers could not pull the whole body at all, and another undercurrent surged, Zhang Xun was once again washed away by the water.

Zhang Xun barely opened his eyes underwater, and found that the light was getting dimmer and dimmer, and then all disappeared. He had to sink to the bottom of the water, step on the ground and slam upward. When he surfaced with difficulty, he found that the water was already more than a person high, and all the torches in the dungeon were flooded by the water, and he was completely imprisoned in the dark, and there was not much air left.

At this time, let alone finding King Chen, whether he can survive or not has become a problem. In this boundless darkness, Zhang Xun could no longer distinguish the direction, and could only let his body rotate weakly with the current, and the huge sound of water seemed to have disappeared, leaving only the ethereal self-talk echoing in the empty ears.

King Chen ran away, I failed, what should the brothers do?

After fighting for so long and dying so many people, you lost like this? It was I who took 400 brothers and threw myself into a snare and killed myself.

Huh! King Chen is really damned!

Really? Does King Chen deserve to die? Should Chen Guo be destroyed? Isn't King Chen a good king? What mistake did Chen Guoren make again?

Is it wrong to be weak?

No! It's the fault of the war! It's King Wu's fault!

Really? But he is my king after all! I have to fight for him! What's wrong with fighting loyally?

Wu Guoren, Chen Guoren, originally had no grievances and no hatred, but they wanted to kill you to the death for inexplicable reasons, for what?

Could it be that this war is about preparing for the next one? However, is such a war just?

Isn't it?

Really?

But what is justice?

But what is all this for?

I don't know, I don't know.

Looks like I'm really going to die. When we left the Master's Gate, Master gave each of the three of us a bag, and Master said that my bag should not be opened until I was about to die.

It's ironic, now is the time to die, but I'm soaked in water, I can't see anything, I really don't know what is written in that bag?

Hey, I still have to carry this kind of regret to death, I really don't want to die! I don't want to die!

Those soldiers who died like weeds, did they die as cranky as I did?

Is there anything more important to every life than life and death?

Don't want to die...... I really don't want to die......

What will happen to Xiao Ji after I die?

Will they miss me?

I miss Frosty so much, I really miss her, Frosty is such a beautiful girl now, I have never seen such a beautiful girl.

I can't get out, hey, if I die, there's nothing, my thoughts, my world will disappear. But the sun still rises every day, and the real world will still be as non-stop fighting and killing as I never existed.

What I think, what I say, what I do, whether it is good or not, nothing will make any sense, nothing will change the world.

So, what is the meaning of my existence?

Forget it, it's useless to think about it so much, it's a pity that you're dying anyway.

What a pity......
