In the city of King Chu, the smoke of gunpowder has not yet spread, and people are immersed in the joy of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, but they don't know how short and ethereal the rest of their lives after the catastrophe are.

Mu Ming walked on the street, not far behind him, pampered and pampered, wanting to step forward, but hesitating. Finally, the city gate was in sight, and the soldiers at the gate held their heads high, with a rigorous military salute and just the right amount of enthusiasm to show their reverence.

After besieging the city for several days, as soon as the gentleman came, the enemy army retreated, how to be disrespectful?

Mu Ming stiffly smiled in return, and walked past the soldier mechanically.

The scorched earth outside the city is like carbon, and the green crops have long been trampled on, and the farmhouses are dilapidated, and many of them still have smoke.

It is not only soldiers who suffer in war.

The city of the king of Chu has long been overcrowded, the king of Chu benefits the common people, long before Mo Wuji besieged the city, the people were admitted to the palace walls, Mu Ming stood outside the city tower, and the voices of people in the city could still be heard, and the voices of complaints were endless.

The soldiers retreated, but the peasant families were not allowed to return, how many mouths were waiting for this lonely city to feed, and the supplies were naturally crowded and crowded, and the people could not be satisfied.

Fortunately, it seems that there is not enough time to wait for the day when they collapse themselves, and news comes from Dongling Mountain, only three days later, and there will be no chickens and dogs left in the Chu King City. The letters that are passed on are murderous.

At this time, the scenery outside the city was really average, Mu Ming turned around, and just looked at the girl who had been following behind him.

Mu Ming approached: "Pampered girl." ”

Jiao Zong nodded, with black eyes and blue hair, swaggering in the wind: "Sir." ”

It looks like a sudden encounter, and after saying hello, say goodbye.

The gentleman didn't say anything, and the girl didn't say anything, just followed closely behind, his thin eyebrows were tightly locked, and his heart was heavy.

Women love heroes and scholars, but in this world, where do scholars come from? Books don't live long.

In order to settle for the second, I had to find someone who resembled a scholar to admire.

Mu Ming is not a scholar, nor a hero, but she is not an ordinary woman.

The only way to do what you want is to follow your steps.

The street, which is only one step away from the city wall, is overcrowded, and many rags have set up shacks, and under the shacks, women and children are huddled in them, with dull expressions, and they are not at home, and they live by the streets.

Mu Ming knew that with such a shack, every street of the King of Chu was crowded.

Mu Ming turned around, walked like the wind, facing the palace, the corners of the girl's mouth hooked a little, and followed closely.

In the palace hall, the queen no longer knew that this was the first time that she had had a dispute, and they seemed to have finally found a breakthrough in the face of the cowardly silence of the foreign enemy, and said the most ferocious words to their own people with sharp teeth.

"There are millions of enemy divisions, even if the generals fight their own families, I'm afraid they can't do anything, they can live if they surrender to the enemy, generals, the queen. In the city of the King of Chu, there are still tens of thousands of women and children who cannot fight, how innocent they are!" an old man with white hair trembled, looked depressed, and sighed.

The sound of quarrels in the hall stopped, in the end, they argued endlessly, but the weight of integrity and life, the generals fought more than once, even if the enemy was strong, they did not dare to talk about surrendering, this is about their integrity.

The state of Chu is different from other countries, there are few wars, it is more important than the people's livelihood, and there are many civil servants, not inferior to military generals.

In Wenchen's eyes, the weight of life is more important than integrity, so those who take the whole city for the sake of integrity are better than surrendering to the people of the city.

"Elder Guo. Don't get excited!" The old man rarely comes forward anymore, he is an old minister of the three dynasties, starting from the queen's grandfather, all the way to his father, and then to her, no one can not pay attention to his words.

"Queen. Lao Chen knew that it was difficult for his ancestors to start a business, and it was really difficult to accept that the country of Chu would give it up. However, the world has been in turmoil for a long time, and those who have the mandate of heaven should obey the mandate of heaven. The queen's status is noble, and although the state of Chu is dead, she can still be a prince. ”

The queen personally stepped down from the throne and helped the old man up: "The old man of the country is light, if he is not the king and does not think of the people of Chu State, he really surrenders to sincerity, and there is no life!"

The queen took out a letter and placed it in front of the old man: "Please see it, old man." ”

"What is this?"

The old man opened the letter, and then his face changed drastically, and he beat his chest: "The state of Chu is dead, the country of Chu is dead......

In the midst of the miserable laughter, he was in a trance, stumbled and walked away by the door, and happened to meet people head-on.

When the old man saw the man clearly, anger grew: "The erector has no plan, and he will destroy my city, women, children, old and young." ”

Mu Ming couldn't recognize the old man, and his hand that wanted to help the old man was stunned in mid-air.

"Why did the old man say that?"

It seemed that Mu Ming completely angered the old man, and the old man was holding a cane and was about to fight

, but was tightly grasped by a person.

Jiao Zong said: "The danger of the Chu State is not the responsibility of Mr. alone." The elders of the country cannot be made second. ”

The old man was speechless, and the old hand let go of his crutches and walked out of the hall, his figure becoming more and more rickety.

"Sir, please!"

Mu Ming nodded, turned around, and stepped into the hall.

Mu Ming's arrival is undoubtedly eye-catching, and the battle of Dongling Mountain began with him.

People are good at imposing responsibility on others, and it just so happened that Mo Wuji of Dongling Mountain gave them such an excuse.

"He still has the cheeks to come here?"

"Flee before fighting, such a cowardly person, why should the pampered general get close to him?"

Whispering, there was no lack of vulgar words, Mu Ming was as if he had not heard it, until he paced in the hall:

"Your Majesty, General, Mu Jing wants to ask how many troops can be sent in the city of King Chu?"

The magician was slightly stunned, and immediately replied: "There are more than 20,000 guards, and there are more than 10,000 other soldiers. ”

Mu Ming frowned when he heard this, and lowered his head in thought. The noisy voices around gradually quieted down, and they slowly discovered that today's Mu Ming was slightly different from the Mu Ming who claimed to be fleeing in the main hall that day.

The hall became silent, and everyone held their breath and waited for the young man in the hall to say the next. No matter how resentful they were, they had to admit that if things took a turn for the better, it would come from the hands of this young man.

After a long time, Mu Ming raised his head, and his eyes were unprecedentedly clear: "There is no way back, and the kings are preparing for war." ”

Yes, the state of Chu had no way to retreat, because Mo Wuji cut off all their retreats.

Mo Wuji, who had been waiting in Dongling Mountain for two days, was impatient, and passed the book today, and within three days, there was no movement in Chu Wangcheng, and millions of soldiers were coming to the city, and there were no chickens and dogs left in Chu Wangcheng.

Within three days, the city of Chu sent troops, and if it was defeated, the chickens and dogs would not be left. Within three days, if you surrender, you will not stay.

It seems that Mo Wuji just wants to finish this game of chess with Mu Ming, a game of chess with a sergeant as his son.

"What is the plan, sir?" asked the magician eagerly.

"Stop at the gentleman. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the temple was confused, and they did not understand what they meant.

The queen walked down the steps and came to Mu Ming: "Please also explain it to Mr." ”
