Chapter 42: The Assassination of King Mu

Looking at the silent King Mu, Jin Eel was not in a hurry, but said: "Among the people of Chu now, there is a saying that is ruthless, called 'Disobedience Zhou'. Due to the decline of the Zhou room, everyone knows that the Chu people are not satisfied with the Zhou! Hence the prevalence of this saying. Now that the king wants to become a hegemon, if he doesn't stand up for power, who in the world can serve Chu? ”

After a long time, King Chu Mu finally nodded: "Let's do it according to this plan, but you have to come forward." ”

Jin Eel was overjoyed and said, "Obey!" ”

A few days later, under the city of Shucheng, a large number of civilians and tribal residents of Shu appeared, and behind them were Chu army armor soldiers armed with swords.

Jin Eel sent an envoy into the state of Shu to negotiate with the monarch of the state of Shu.

After the envoy saw the king of Shu, he did not salute, but arrogantly told the king of Shu that the outside of the city were his people, and if the king of Shu cherished his people, three days later, he would either open the city gate and surrender, or lead the army to a decisive battle with the Chu army. If it does not fight head-on with the Chu army, the Chu army will send the captured people of Shu to take the lead in attacking the city.

The Chu army will take their children and wives as hostages, and those who do not fight hard in the siege will be killed by their wives and children!

In the end, the envoy triumphantly said to the king of Shu Guoguo: "Don't you pay attention to the five teachings of 'father's righteousness, mother's kindness, brotherhood and friend, brotherhood and filial piety'? Outside the city are your brothers, sisters, and people, and do you not dare to go into battle because you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you watch your people die by your arrows and swords?

Outside the city, we will catch as many of your people as there are, so that one day the city will be broken, and it will be your people who will die anyway. ”

Seeing the rampant of the envoy, the monarch of Shu Guoguo was furious, and he pointed at the envoy and scolded: "You and other beasts are also worthy of speaking about my five religions, as long as you and other beasts dare to do things that are indignant to people and gods, they will be punished by heaven!" ”

After that, the monarch of Shu Guo shouted: "Come on, knock out the big teeth of this minion, bring him the war book and ask him to take it back, and after three days, I will lead the soldiers and the Chu army to fight it." ”

"No! Seeing that it is difficult to win, this is the method of the Chu army's radical generals, as long as we work together and bravely resist the enemy, at most more than a month, the Chu army will retreat without a fight. Sun Wen, the envoy of Wu, Guiguzi's senior disciple, hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

"Sun Jun doesn't need to say much, I have made up my mind." Shu Guojun said resolutely.

The palace guards were already full of resentment towards the envoy of the state of Chu, and as soon as they heard the order of the king, they immediately stepped forward and smashed the teeth of the envoy of the state of Chu, making him leave with a bloody face and a war book.

Sun Wen sighed again and again: "It's a pity that the success has failed!" ”

The monarch of Shu Guoguo said to him: "Even if I know that this is the method of the Chu State, I still have to do it. Think about it, if my people heard that I was cowardly and allowed them to kill each other, would they still fight for me? They don't know if this is a trick of the Chu State, they will only think that I am greedy for life and afraid of death.

If I don't fight, even if the Chu army returns in vain, I will drown in the spittle of my people.

Now, maybe the rumors of the Chu State have spread all over the royal capital, so I have to fight. Sun Jun can leave Shu and go back to his life, not for you, but not for you. I will never forget your great kindness in helping me fight the enemy. ”

"So, farewell." Sun Wen was also simply, just leave.

Three days later, in just one round, the state of Shu was completely defeated under the chariot of the state of Chu, and the monarch was captured.

King Chu Mu was extremely excited, and ordered King Shu to offer wine and meat to the three armies.

The arduous war finally came to an end, among the Qunshu countries, the largest Shu country was defeated, and the remaining small countries were weak and vulnerable at all, and the war of counterinsurgency was about to end, and victory was just around the corner.

The mood was suppressed for too long, so on the night of the victory over Shu Guo, except for the soldiers who served as guards and patrols, all the soldiers drank heartily, and the barracks were full of piles of bonfires.

Around the bonfire, there was a chorus of joy, noise, and the cries of the dead brothers.

In the chaos of the barracks, a small soldier hurried towards the camp with the king's banner erected.

King Chumu was drinking in the tent with the ten generals who had achieved great results. At this time, his heart was agitated, he was very excited, and he also wanted to express his feelings with wine.

Although King Chu Mu was cruel by nature, he was still a king with a pioneering spirit and foresight for the Chu State. Since sitting on the throne, he has been plotting the future path of the Chu State.

After the Battle of Chengpu, the state of Chu was defeated, and the princes of the Central Plains all went to the state of Jin. Rebuilding the strength of the Chu State has always been the dream goal of King Chu Mu. Today, Qunshu is flat, the road to the north is open, and the grand ambition of chasing the Central Plains will be realized in his hands, teach him how not to be excited?

Although there was a lot of drinking in the tent, the vigilance around the king's tent did not relax in the slightest. A group of Chengguang (Chu State Guards), dressed in armor, patrolled in the king's tent camp. There were also thirty chariots on the left and right, and they were on guard near the king's tent, and there were many archers on the chariots.

There were also many archers on the watchtowers around the king's tent camp.

Seeing that the guards were tight, the little soldier disappeared into the darkness before he reached the king's camp.

The dishes were constantly sent into the king's tent, and a drunken general looked at a soldier serving the food with some eyes, because of the effect of alcohol, he didn't care at first, and then broke out in a cold sweat, and shouted to the soldier: "Who are you?" ”

It's too late. With a flash of light, only the handle of a knife was exposed from King Chumu's neck.

King Chu Mu's eyes widened, as if he was unwilling to open his mouth to say something, and the wine bottle in his hand fell to the ground.

"There are assassins! There are assassins! Before the crowd could react, the little soldier rushed out of the king's tent with a shout.

The king's tent was in turmoil. Chengguang, who was in armor, immediately rushed to the king's tent and surrounded the king's tent.

"That's him, that's him, he's an assassin!" However, the general's shouts were drowned out in chaos.

Hearing the letter, Yin Chengjia immediately set up another encirclement to surround the king's tent, and he ordered anyone in the encirclement not to disclose the news that King Mu was seriously assassinated, and those who violated the order were beheaded! No matter who it is, they can only say to the outside world that someone wanted to assassinate King Mu, but they fled before they could do it.

He first sent chariots to guard the main roads within ten miles, and then put the whole army on guard, and ordered the generals of the palace guards to search the mountains and forests with the armored Chengguang and armor soldiers, a group of soldiers and a torch.

Cheng Jia himself immediately rushed to the nearest tribe in a chariot, insisting that someone in the tribe wanted to assassinate the king of Chu, and asked them to send ten of their best hunters and take their families as hostages to follow him to capture the assassins. The tribal chief did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent ten hunters who were good at tracking to follow Yin Chengjia to track down the assassins.

Cheng Jia estimated that the assassins would not enter the city or flee to the plains, so how could they run over the chariot on two legs? The best way to escape is deep in the mountains. The road ahead was blocked, and the Assassins would not be able to escape the dense net of people behind them.

Cheng Jia's estimation was right, after Doulan assassinated King Chu Mu, he only knew that he would desperately flee into the mountains, and the faster and farther he could escape, the better. She delves into the jungle that is inaccessible.

As she passed through the dense bushes, she felt as if something had been pricked in her leg, and she was too busy running for her life to care, but soon her eyes became more and more blurry, and her legs became weaker and weaker.

Suddenly, a figure pounced on her and lifted her on her back.

She vaguely felt that after the man put her down, he first took off her leather armor, and then untied her battle suit. She was drowsy and wanted to resist, but she couldn't, and when the warm mouth bit her leg, a crisp itch took her whole body, and she passed out.

Early the next morning, when Doulan opened her eyes, she found herself in a hole. Her head was still a little dizzy, and her brain still vaguely retained the memory of last night, she was startled, and when she touched her body, her lower body was actually naked, and there was only a robe on her body.

"Ahh She screamed angrily, wrapped her robe around her body, and looked up, only to see Zhong Wuregret still lying on her lap and sleeping.

Doulan was suddenly frightened.

"You whore! You whore! He hurt my sister, and he came to hurt me. She kicked her feet wildly before she kicked Zhong Wuregret down, she cried and scolded: "I knew that you are a lewd thief with a lustful heart, I would rather die myself than kill you!" ”

She kicked Zhong Wuregret over, drew his sword and stabbed it. But as soon as the tip of the sword touched Zhong Wuregret's chest, he couldn't stab it anymore, and he saw Zhong Wuregret unconscious, with a swollen mouth like a pig's mouth, and there were still blood stains on it.

"What's going on?" Doulan remembered in a daze that she had been stabbed by something on the mountain, and then she couldn't run, and then she fainted.

At this time, she took a closer look at her thighs and found that there were two snake tooth scars and a cross mark from a knife. There is also a circle of herbs pasted around.

"Could it be...... Could it be that I fell for the snake venom, and it was he who saved me by pulling out the snake venom with his mouth? ”

Doulan hurriedly put on her robe and turned around in place, not finding anything unusual about her body, so she was relieved. However, when she saw Zhong Wuregret, who was unconscious, she felt a pang of worry: "If he really fell victim to snake venom, how can I save him?" ”

Doulan was helpless, Zhong Wuregret could pull out the snake venom on her leg with her mouth, she would not use her mouth to pull out the poison on Zhong Wuregret's mouth, she had to help Zhong Wuregret sit up, patted his face and shouted: "Wake up, wake up!" Don't scare me! But Zhong had no regrets and no reaction.

She took a closer look, Zhong Wuregret was still holding a handful of unknown herbs in his hand, she quickly broke his hand, chewed the herbs in his mouth, and at the same time stabbed Zhong Wuregret on the mouth with a hairpin a few times, slowly squeezed out the black blood, and then applied the medicine to Zhong Wuregret's mouth.

These simple first-aid knowledge were taught to them by Zhong Wuregret, and an important course for special forces is "survival in the wild".

Zhong Wuregret finally woke up, and when he saw Doulan staring at him with tears on his face, he asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”

Doulan cried "wow" and threw herself into his arms.

Even his relatives only see themselves as tools for revenge, Zhong Wuregret himself is going to die, and the first thing he cares about when he wakes up is Doulan, teaching her how not to be moved.

Doulan knew that as long as he succeeded in assassinating King Chu Mu, he could be said to have completed the family's mission, and it didn't matter whether he lived or died. And Zhong Wuregret, as an outsider, is just teaching himself as an exchange for martial arts.

She never expected that in order to save herself, Zhong Wuregret's life was almost taken, even if Zhong Wuregret was a big prostitute, she was willing to be "lewd" by him, such a lewd thief, but a national treasure-level "lewd thief"! Even those celebrities who are full of benevolence and morality are difficult to compare.

Zhong Wuregret stroked Doulan's hair, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, as long as people live, from today on, Doulan can be said to be reborn.

She has lived too long in the bite of hatred, and the hatred she had when she trained, even Zhong Wuregret felt a little scared, for this reason, he still retained some kung fu to press the box, ready to deal with Doulan's revenge, because Doulan always thought that Zhong Wuregret was the thief who killed his sister.

Doulan just wanted to ask Zhong Wuregret how he found her, but Zhong Wuregret hurriedly pressed a finger on Doulan's mouth. At this time, Zhong Wuregret had heard the sound of someone talking outside.

Since Zhong Wuregret and Ziying were in the midst of the upside down, the yin and yang qi were combined, and they soared to break through the heavy barrier, their ears and eyes were extremely keen.

Doulan quietly leaned on Zhong Wuregret's arms, thinking about nothing, at this time, as long as Zhong Wuregret was by her side, she felt that it didn't matter anything, even if she died together.
