Chapter 368: Greed Brings Disaster to the World (2/2)

The voice outside was a little hurried:

"Master, someone from the royal capital is coming, waiting to see the master."

"Huh? Who sent it? ”

"Master Yu, it's General Xun Gao."

"Ahh

Cao Ruo moved his body and quickly got up.

After sending the people away, Cao Ruo had a gloomy face and commanded:

"Put that peace away, wrap up the dishes, and let him go home by himself."

The subordinate agreed.

"This peace and luck are good enough, what is the origin, how can such a big official come to the rescue?"

Cao Ruo was worried.

Xun Gao is in a high position, and his face cannot be sold.

It's just that I have red beads...... I'm afraid it's also spread in the officialdom.

He didn't know that the matter of Hongzhu was not only spread in the officialdom, but his wife also asked people to repair the book and send it to his mother's family. As a result, this matter also spread in the aristocratic circle of Changguo.

All of a sudden, many people were eager to move on this legendary treasure.

Peace was released, his life was saved, but the beads were gone.

He lingered outside the county guard's mansion and refused to leave.

At last an old servant came out and advised him to hurry back to his hometown.

He is a grass people, how can he confront the county guard?

Peace is unthinkable.

He couldn't die headfirst in front of the county guard, so he had to go back first.

After all, there are still mothers at home who want him to take care of.

Not to mention that after returning home peacefully, all kinds of long sighs and short sighs.

The red beads are on Cao Ruo's side, but they are not peaceful.

Cao Ruo secretly took beads to turn stones into gold, and this matter was actually spread out, and everyone knew about it.

There is also a rumor that the previous miracle doctors were able to cure the sick because of this bead. This bead is a divine pearl that can prolong life.

Regarding the efficacy of the beads, there are rumors, and there are even rumors that eating this beads can ascend to the sky and become gods, and it is said that people have noses and eyes.

Rumors spread quickly.

It didn't take long for the lady's maiden family, the officials of the royal capital, to become interested in this red bead.

Cao Ruo has only been playing for more than ten days, and this bead was asked to go by a higher-level official.

He himself knew that although the beads were magical, they were not as rumored to be by the outside world.

But it's just a bit of gold, and it's just a matter of making people feel comfortable.

Compared with his official position, it is nothing.

Just when Cao Ruo reluctantly wrapped the beads in the gift box, ready for the official's subordinates to take them.

Someone hurriedly came to report that there was an army that drove straight into Tianyang City.

When Fei Chun, the general who was supposed to be guarding the border pass of Changguo, appeared outside the gate of the county guard mansion with a cruel smile.

Cao Ruo, who was handing over, and the subordinates of the big official looked at each other and were stunned.

Fei Chun left his post without permission, although he shouldn't, but he thought he was acting secretly, and he grabbed the red bead and prepared to go back.

Unexpectedly, some people among the nobles were angry because they expected that they would not get the red beads, so they directly leaked the matter.

And Jing Guo got the news.

After carefully judging the truth of this matter, they tested the army and attacked the city that was supposed to be defended by Fei Chun.

As a result, during the entire siege of the city, Feichun did not appear, and the manpower in the city seemed to be insufficient.

The general of Jing was overjoyed, ordered a strong attack, and at the same time ambushed good men and horses, and intercepted and killed Fei Chun when he returned.

On the way back, Fei Chun encountered an ambush and was defeated, so he had to abandon the army, throw down the city, take the red beads, and flee back quickly.

When Fei Chun fled to the vicinity of Mud Forest, he was intercepted and killed by men sent by the nobles.

Fei Chun died, and the red beads were snatched away again.

After obtaining the red beads, the nobleman returned to his territory, Mobei City.

However, at this time, the front line of Changguo began to rout on all fronts.

After the nobleman returned home, he was shocked to find that the army of Jing was already on the verge of Mobei.

Fortunately, Changguo also sent the general Xun Gao to lead the army to guard Mobei City.

Xun Gao led the army, worried in his heart.

You must know that Mobei is the last barrier of Changguo today, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If Mobei also falls, the rear will be a smooth road to the royal capital of Jianchang City, and there is no way to prevent the army of Jing from driving straight in.

I can only hope that I can keep it for a little longer.

When winter comes, the grass and trees will wither, the weather will be cold, and the Jing country will go too far, and there will be no food to eat and no firewood to warm, so they can only retreat.

Xun Gao's use of troops is naturally extremely strong, and with him defending the city in Mobei City, Jing Guo was indeed unable to attack for a long time.

The aristocracy breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just half a month later, winter has not yet arrived.

The most miraculous thing between heaven and earth finally came to the last barrier of this Changguo.

On that day, the sky was overcast and it seemed as if it was about to rain.

The old general Xun Gao held a spear and stood at the head of the city.

In the distance, is the camp of Jing State.

There were 200,000 troops there.

But he had only 40,000 soldiers in the city.

Fortunately, the other party came from afar, and it was a tired army.

And they are all Changguo people, accustomed to the water and soil here, and they can also recuperate in the city. This battle may not be lost, maybe in a few months, there will be a counterattack.

Xun Gao thought about it, hoping that the whole city would work together and not have the same situation as before.

The wind gradually blew.

Suddenly, he heard the noise of the soldiers below.

He looked down and saw that many people were looking up at the sky.

He looked up too.

Immediately, the old general's eyes widened.

The sight of the sky met his pupils.

Above the round iris, the clouds that rotate in the air are reflected, and ......

A crystal clear, huge water dragon.

Below, everyone screamed again and again, not knowing whether the water dragon was coming, whether it was a blessing or a curse.

And in the city lord's mansion, the nobles were already panicking.

When he inquired about this red bead before, he had also heard the news relayed by Mrs. Cao Ruo.

Hose......

The red bead is the dragon pill of the water dragon.

Sooner or later, the water dragon will come back to ask for .......

"It's coming, it's really coming."

The nobleman was in the courtyard, looking at the sky, his hands and feet were cold with fright, and his body couldn't help shaking.

He stayed for a long time, and finally came to his senses and ran back into the house.

The nobleman went to his treasure room, looking for the red beads.

Gotta return the red beads to the water dragon.

Otherwise, no one can predict what the water dragon will do!

However, the red beads are gone.

At this time, the subordinate who stole this red bead was already overjoyed and sneaked away from the back door of the City Lord's Mansion with the red bead.

He originally wanted to steal this rare treasure, when the war was torn, no one could hold him accountable, if he took it to Jing to sell, he would definitely enjoy a lifetime of happiness for the rest of his life.

However, when he came out of the house and into the street, he found that everyone was looking at the sky.

The man also looked into the air curiously.

The water dragon hovered in the air, getting lower and lower.

The crystal clear huge body crossed arcs in the air.

"What is this...... Forget it, don't do my business, just run away. ”

The subordinate tightened his luggage and prepared to slip away in the direction of the city gate.

At this moment, the figure of the water dragon finally descended to the top of Mobei City.

It lowered its head.

A pale blue glow lit up near its skull.

Immediately, something terrible happened.

A thick column of water rushed straight down from the mouth of the water dragon.

Before it touched the ground, it split apart in the air and turned into many columns of tiny streams of water.

Two of the pillars fell into the city, and the others scattered horizontally.

From below, if you ignore the danger, it is beautiful.

When the water flies, it blooms like curled petals.

A transparent chrysanthemum appeared in the air.
