"Really...... Did you really cook those four women raw? ”

At the foot of Xiangyang City, two arrows away from the city, Liu Qing, the military advisor of the Zhou army, stood on top of the commander's chariot, grasping the wooden railing with one hand and dragging the corner of Xie An with the other, and his beautiful eyes showed a little unbearable.

About three or four zhang away in front of her, there were four huge copper cauldrons, the size of six or seven people hugging each other, two filled with boiling water, two filled with boiling oil, and the fire under the kettle burned extremely vigorously, boiling the water and oil in the kettle.

Not far behind the copper cauldron, there were four beautiful women kneeling, three of whom seemed to be a little old, but because they were well maintained, although there was a slight trace of white hair in their sideburns, their beautiful faces still couldn't help but make people think about it. And the remaining young woman holding the baby is even more amazing, it seems that she is in her twenties, and it is when she is in her prime, and many generals in the Zhou army can't help but spit when they see this woman.

Maybe others don't know the details of these four women, but Xie An is very clear, these four women, that is by no means ordinary people, etc., the older three were the concubines of the former emperor Li Ji of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the concubine Zhao, Zhaorong Qi, and Zhao Yanwei, they are the biological mothers of the three kings of Qin, Li Shen, Han Wang, and Li Yan, the king of Chu, and the young woman is the princess Su of Qin Li Shen, and the baby she is holding in her arms is the son of Li Shen, the king of Qin.

Looking at the three former imperial concubines, Xie Anxin sighed and sighed, after all, a few years ago, Li Shen, the king of Qin, and other three kings jointly put pressure on the Jijing court, on the grounds that the son of man should be filial to his biological mother, and expressed to the court that he wanted to welcome back their biological mother. At that time, Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, who was the prime minister, found out that the three kings were secretly colluding with the Taiping army, because he was not ready to go to war with the Taiping army and the three kings at the same time, Li Xian had to return the three imperial concubines who were originally hostages and restrained the three kings.

Mothers are more expensive than children...... On the other hand, how can a mother not be implicated in the sins of her son?

A year ago, the three kings were powerful, and Li Xian, the king of the eight sages, had to personally return the three imperial concubines and let them return to his son in a glorious manner, and now, Li Xiao, the king of Han, and Li Yan, the king of Chu, were all defeated and died, and the rebellion of the three kings was only supported by Li Shen, the king of Qin, but at the moment when the war was most intense, these three imperial concubines fell into the hands of Li Cheng, the king of Anling.

Li Cheng, the king of Anling, is the most ruthless of all the princes!

"Xie, Xie An, do you really want to cook these four women raw?" Seeing that Xie An had never replied to him, Liu Qing tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked again.

In all fairness, Liu Qing is by no means a flower in a greenhouse, she is used to seeing life and death since she was a child, and even watched her mother Liu Qian and Liang Qiuhao, who was subconsciously regarded as her brother, die in front of her, and watched her 60,000 Taiping soldiers die one after another, and finally the whole army was wiped out.

Liu Qing has seen too much about the lives that have passed, but even so, a strong intolerance rose in her heart at this moment.

"How do I know that?" Xie An let out a long breath and looked at his front left side.

I saw that about three or four zhang away from the left front side of Xie An, there was an umbrella shed that sheltered the snow and the wind, and under the umbrella shed, there was a bamboo mat on the snow, and a table was placed on the bamboo mat, on which some wine and food were placed, and Li Cheng, the king of Anling, sat in this seat close to the position of the Zhou army, pouring himself a drink, and his face was as usual.

[Is it intimidation?] It's intimidation, right? ――It's just a means to force Li Shen, the king of Qin, to come forward and die, right? ]

Xie An guessed unconfidently.

In his opinion, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, did nothing more than want to force Li Shen, the king of Qin, to come forward, saying that he had not seen each other for many years, and the two of them had to drink alone, since they were drinking alone, why did he need to ask Xie An to bring 100,000 Zhou troops? Why do you need to let these 100,000 Zhou troops wait solemnly? Even, even the rush car, the well and many other siege equipment were also brought?

"......" Looking at the entire row of sword and axe hands behind King An Ling, the corners of Xie An's eyes couldn't help twitching.

Fools can see that if Li Shen, the king of Qin, really dares to come to this date, and before he can sit down, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, will ask the knife and axe man behind him to chop him into pulp.

And Li Shen, the king of Qin, is he a fool? How could they be stupid enough to come to this Hongmen feast?

The question is......

If Li Shen, the king of Qin, did not come to the appointment, would Li Cheng, the king of Anling, really cook the four daughters and a baby who was only two or three years old?

Xie An was not sure about this at all, after all, in front of him was the fifth son of the emperor who hated the most and had the most vicious methods, and Li Cheng, the king of Anling, who had a hatred for killing his brother in the heart of the Qin king. Although Li Cheng three years later seems to be gentle and elegant, comparable to the gentleman of the Eight Sages King Li Xian, Xie An can see from all indications that the fifth son of the emperor is far more vicious than three years ago.

"His Royal Highness Li Cheng, King of Anling, respectfully invite His Royal Highness Li Shen, King of Qin, to go out of the city to make an appointment!" Zhou General Dianying, still performing the task entrusted to him by Li Cheng, the king of Anling, shouted loudly under the city.

However, there was not the slightest movement in the city.

Could it be that Li Shen, the king of Qin, didn't care about the safety of his mother, uncle, wife, and son at all?

Not necessarily! Perhaps His Royal Highness, the third prince of the emperor, who is accustomed to hiding in the dark, is standing in an inconspicuous corner of Xiangyang City at the moment, looking at Xie An's side with a grim face.

Sure enough, although it was impossible to see Li Shen, the king of Qin, from the perspective of Xie An and Liu Qing, from the sight of Chen Zhao of the First Army of the White Water Army, it could be clearly seen that his lord Li Shen was standing in the upper corner of Xiangyang City accompanied by the general of the White Water Army, with vicious and resentful eyes, staring at Li Cheng, the king of Anling, who was pouring himself under the umbrella shed under the city.

The "Old Fifth ......" held a piece of jade with a crystal and delicate polish in his hand, and Li Shen, the king of Qin, turned pale, gritted his teeth and cursed.

This piece of jade, which means longevity, is too familiar to Li Shen, because it was carefully polished by a jade craftsman in Hanzhong when his son was born, and then when his son was full moon, Li Shen personally hung it around his son's neck, hoping that his first born son would be blessed and live longer.

However, just this morning, he received this piece of jade from a soldier of Zhou who came to write the book, and received this piece of jade that should have been hanging around his son's neck. The metaphor is self-evident!

The eldest son of Li Shen, the king of Qin, had fallen into the hands of the Zhou army......

"The person who knows this king best, is it really you, the fifth child?" Pulling the jade stone tightly, Qin King Li Shen's eyes seemed to faintly burst out with real fire.

It is undeniable that he Li Shen is indeed extremely cautious, considering that Li Cheng, the king of Anling, who has a deep hatred for him, is very likely to attack his feudal state of Hanzhong Nanzheng this time, so he placed his little relatives in Shangyong in advance, and even, when the war on Jingzhou's side was unfavorable, he secretly ordered someone to bring the five only relatives in the world to him.

But what he never expected was that Li Cheng, the king of Anling, who was familiar with his surname, was a step ahead, recovered the thief Kou Zhang Hu in Yanzhou, and asked one of his cadres to disguise themselves and infiltrate Hanzhong County, and just near the border of Jingzhou, the convoy waiting to escort Concubine Zhao and others threw himself into the net, while he, Li Cheng, continued to slowly and methodically entangle with the local vassal kings who assisted Li Shen, the king of Qin, in rebellion.

Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang......

To tell the truth, Li Shen, the king of Qin, did not take into account the fact that Li Cheng, the king of Anling, would target his relatives, but he did not expect that Li Cheng, the king of Anling, also expected that he would be particularly concerned about this matter, so he did not lead the imperial tomb dragon slave guard to attack Hanzhong quickly, but continued to stay in Yan and Henan to reduce the vigilance of Li Shen, the king of Qin, and in private, Li Cheng temporarily recruited Zhang Hu, a thief from Yanzhou, to do this for him with a lot of money.

Even Xie An had to admit that compared with the palace forcing incident three years ago, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, had become more thoughtful and meticulous in thinking about things, and this man, who had changed because of the death of his brother Li Wei, had become an excellent conspirator.

"His Royal Highness Li Cheng, King of Anling, respectfully invite His Royal Highness Li Shen, King of Qin, to go out of the city to make an appointment!" The voice of the city's next Zhou general Dianying has reached the ears of Li Shen, the king of Qin, and the generals of the White Water Army more than once.

Glancing at the right hand of King Li Shen, the king of Qin, who was slightly pale because of excessive exertion, the thunder said in a low voice, "Don't go, if you go, you will die!" ”

Hearing this, the tone of the thunder was extremely low, and thinking about it, he was also angered by the despicable approach of Li Cheng, the king of Anling. But unfortunately, in this case, although he has the strength of a martial god comparable to Liang Qiu Hao and Liang Qiu Wu, he can't save his relatives for the lord Li Shen.

Did you see the 10,000-strong phalanx in the Zhou army's array that obviously did not meet the specifications of the soldiers' formations? Those were all crossbowmen, all crossbowmen, a full 40,000 men.

For whom? Obviously, it was for him to thunder!

If the thunder dares to fight, he will have to face a wave of as many as 40,000 crossbow arrows from the Zhou army, not to mention his thunder, even if Liang Qiu Hao comes back from the dead, I am afraid it will be folded here, after all, the bow and crossbow are originally the nemesis of the strongest warriors, and the wave of 40,000 crossbow arrows is enough to shoot his thunder into an insincere and benevolent shape, maybe there is not even a scum left!

As soon as the words of the thunder fell, Chen Zhao, Huang Shou, and Fu Ao, the three generals of the White Water Army, couldn't help but speak bitterly, after all, fools knew that Li Cheng, the king of Anling, was clearly trying to force their lord Qin King Li Shen to kill.

Listening to the persuasion of the generals, Li Shen, the king of Qin, flashed a little hesitation in his eyes, looked at the five relatives under the city, and said with difficulty, "If you go, you will die...... But if this king does not go, they will die......"

And during the hesitation of Li Shen, the king of Qin, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, who was pouring himself a drink in the umbrella shed under the city, seemed to have exhausted his last patience, stood up with both hands, slowly walked to the place of two arrows under the city, and shouted with a smile facing the city of Xiangyang, "Brother Sanhuang, you and I are brothers, why are you so outside?" -- I haven't seen you for many years, wouldn't it be nice for you and my brother to sit down and enjoy the snow and drink each other? As he spoke, he pointed to the banquet under the umbrella shed, with a lovely smile on his face.

The voice fell half loudly, and the city of Xiangyang was silent.

Seeing this, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, turned pale, snorted coldly, and shouted in a deep voice, "Li Shen, this king knows that you are in the city at this moment!" - I haven't seen you, but the king can smell your stench from afar! ”

"Look, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince of the Emperor is indeed a dog......" On the commander's chariot, Xie An nodded as if he had suddenly realized.

Liu Qing next to him rolled her eyes when she heard this, and said angrily, "When is it, are you still in the mood to say cool things?" ”

"What can I do?" With a wry smile, Xie An whispered helplessly, "It's all said that he will be the main one in the future war...... Could it be that I will stand up and speak for Li Shen, the king of Qin, at this time? ”

"......" Liu Qing was speechless, although she also wanted to solve Li Shen, the king of Qin, as soon as possible, so that she and Xie An could immediately go to Jiangdong to fight against Wu Heng, but with the posture of Li Cheng, the king of Anling, who wanted to cook people, Liu Qing was really a little unbearable.

At the same time, the only remaining trace of the surname of Li Cheng, the king of Anling, seemed to have been polished away, after all, no matter how he shouted to the city tower, he never saw Li Shen, the king of Qin, come forward to reply.

"Humph!" With a sneer in his mouth, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, glanced at Xiangyang City with his eyes, and said coldly, "It seems that the third emperor brother thinks that the king's wine and food are not rich enough, and he doesn't want to go out of the city to drink with the king!" In that case, the king will add another dish...... Stewed Zhaoyan! ”

As soon as these words came out, the biological mother of Li Yan, the king of Chu, Yuan Zhaoyan Wei, suddenly turned pale and collapsed to the ground.

Behind him, several Zhou soldiers who were guarding looked at Li Cheng, the king of Anling, at a loss, and then at their own commander Xie An on the commander's chariot.

You must know that although these Zhou soldiers killed a lot of people, they were all enemies killed on the battlefield, how could they have killed women and children who were powerless? Moreover, it is still a vicious act of boiling water and raw cooking, which is not inferior to the torture of the merchants.

"What are you waiting for?" Li Cheng, the king of Anling, rebuked in a deep voice.

[Really?] ]

Feeling the inquiring gazes of those soldiers, Xie An's eyes showed a little surprise. Although he had agreed to Li Cheng's plea beforehand, and the future war would be dominated by him, it was really difficult for him to nod his head and signal those Zhou soldiers to do the shocking thing like cooking people alive.

What's more, Liu Qing was holding his hand firmly at some point, with a look of horror on his face.

After hesitating, Xie An chose to remain silent.

From the side, Gou Gong, the henchman who knew Xie An's surname best, seemed to see the lord's intentions, and waved his hand to signal the Zhou soldiers who were guarding the four women to retreat, and asked King Anling to do it himself. After all, Zhou Bing was a brave warrior who killed the enemy on the battlefield, not an executioner who carried out punishment.

Seeing that those Zhou soldiers were withdrawing one after another, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, frowned and glanced at the commander's chariot, and saw that Xie An, Liu Qing, Gou Gong and others were all looking at him with complicated eyes, and smiled indifferently in their hearts, seemingly not caring at all.

Also, how could he, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, care about that kind of gaze? Before coming here, he was conscious, and he was going to take Li Shen, the king of Qin, to Huangquan together, how could he care about the world's opinion of him?

It's just that since Zhou Bing doesn't follow, who will deal with this matter?

"My Great Zhou's Army...... Unexpected integrity! It seemed that seeing the slight embarrassment of Li Cheng, the king of Anling, Li Cheng's cousin Li Yan chuckled lightly, waved his hand, and suddenly, forty imperial tomb dragon slave guards stepped forward and took the place of those Zhou soldiers before.

Moreover, three of the dragon slave guards caught the pale Zhao Yan Wei clan.

"No...... Don't ......" Zhao Yanwei's flower was discolored, and the other three daughters also screamed sadly and wanted to pull her firmly, but the biological mother of Li Yan, the king of Chu, was finally lifted up by the three dragon slave guards and held high above her head.

In all fairness, looking at an elderly beauty who still has charm is being kicked in the air indiscriminately, looking at the two legs that are still slender and smooth, this is really a very pleasing thing, but once you think of the tragedy that this old beauty is about to encounter, looking at the more than 100,000 Zhou troops, I am afraid that no one can laugh.

Even Xie An couldn't help but hold Liu Qing's slender hand in shock, not noticing that the latter was already blushing.

"Cook!" In the mournful cries of several women, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, lightly spat out a cold word.

Suddenly, only a terrible scream was heard, and the biological mother of Li Yan, the king of Chu, Zhao Yan Wei, was really thrown into the boiling water of a copper kettle by the three dragon slave guards, screaming and churning in the boiling water, but the three dragon slave guards who couldn't see their faces because they were wearing helmets closed the lid extremely ruthlessly.

"Hiss......"

The 100,000 Zhou army gasped, and Liu Qing, who was still young, was even more frightened and subconsciously buried in Xie An's arms, and couldn't bear to look at the miserable scene.

At first, there was a terrible scream from the copper cauldron, but after dozens of breaths, the scream disappeared. Instead, there was a smell of fragrant meat, and it smelled like a faint fragrance, but when they thought of what it was, many Zhou Jun couldn't help but churn in their stomachs and leaned over to vomit.

After a long time, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, snapped his fingers, and the three dragon slave guards opened the lid, and suddenly the smell of meat came to their faces. The reddish flesh color seemed quite attractive, but after some recent Zhou soldiers, they had already vomited into a piece.

On the other hand, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, still looked as usual, and even walked to the copper kettle, took a sip of broth, and smacked his lips with satisfaction.

"Vomiting ......" Liu Qing, who only felt her abdomen churning, couldn't help but vomit Xie An, which made Xie An's expression, which was already a poor complexion, even more ugly.

[How dare you do it?] The fifth son of the emperor ......]

Xie An looked at Li Cheng, the king of Anling, in disbelief, he thought that Li Cheng was also scaring and scaring Li Shen, the king of Qin, but obviously, he guessed wrong, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, was ruthless, far beyond his imagination.

"Hmm...... It tastes pretty good! Throwing the scoop back into the copper cauldron, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, chuckled and shouted to Xiangyang City, "Brother Three Emperors, this king has been prepared by Brother Three Emperors for a first-class dish!" Won't the three emperor brothers come and try it? ”

Just like Fang Cai, there is still silence in Xiangyang City.

Seeing this, Li Cheng, the king of Anling, didn't care, Lang said with a smile, "Well, it seems that the third emperor brother still thinks the dishes are not good, so this king will add another dish!" - Fry Zhaorong! ”

In the cry of the biological mother of Han King Li Xiao, Zhaorong Qi, she was lifted by four imperial tomb dragon slave guards and thrown into the boiling oil, only to hear a miserable scream that stopped abruptly, and the Qi family stopped moving.

Under the silent city of Xiangyang, only the sizzling sound can be heard......

But even so, Li Shen, the king of Qin, still did not make the slightest movement.
