Chapter Twenty-Three: The Soldiers Are Coming to the City

The pit killing lasted for two days, and 310,000 captives were taken to the edge of the Wei River by the Central Plains soldiers in various ways in just two days, and they used their bodies to thoroughly nourish the Wei River for a long distance. A stupid lie completely buried 310,000 barbarian captives by the Wei River, and the decision-makers of all this made the entire Central Plains army terrified.

This time, no one underestimated this boy who looked like he was only sixteen years old, he was no longer the third prince who relied on the identity of the second generation of the king to become the deputy marshal or even the commander, but the commander of Hewu!

No one dared to say anything about this matter, but Hal took the initiative to report the matter to Xijing. But another seven days have passed, and Xijing still has no reaction at all, and the missing second prince has not been missing. In the end, Hal couldn't wait any longer, and his keen political instincts told him that something must have happened to Xijing!

...

Somewhere in the distance, a carrier pigeon slowly fell into the hands of a soldier, who took out the letter from the pigeon's leg and handed it directly to Wen Zhong, who was sitting in the room with a pale face.

"Your Highness, Gongsun Yu has a flying pigeon to pass the book!" The soldier respectfully handed the letter to Wen Zhong and withdrew.

Wen Zhong didn't care, unfolded the letter and read it. Gongsun Yu reported the matter of Har's order to kill 310,000 barbarian captives a few days ago, and attached the matter of the army's return to Xijing in the past few days to Wen Zhong.

Casually dropping the letter on the table, Wen Zhong sat on the chair and looked at the slowly rising morning sun through the window, not knowing whether he was in a daze or thinking.

"Wen Zhong, why are you doing this? Does that make sense? Olivia had always been puzzled by what Wen Zhong had done during this time, but she still held back the doubts in her heart until she saw Howl's decision in the letter.

With a deep exhalation, Wen Zhong came back from his trance, wiped the blood from his nose, and then said slowly: "What do you think will happen when a poor man becomes rich overnight, or a weak person who has been oppressed at the bottom for a long time, and suddenly becomes the person in power who holds the power of life and death of others?" ”

"Crazy, rejoicing, self-indulgent. Or... Depraved! Olivia has seen too many of these people over the past hundreds of years to give the answer without thinking.

Wen Zhong smiled and wanted to touch Olivia's little head, but his fingers passed through Olivia's body without accident, and he continued with some sadness: "I don't know what the world will become after I die, and I really don't want to know about the future. Hal became the leader of the rebels, and to be honest, I was worried.

He was taken out of the galaxy by me a few years ago, and I had no idea what the future would look like. I had promised to take good care of him, but what I had been through in those years... Don't talk about it, you know it all! Seeing Olivia's somewhat gloomy expression, Wen Zhong wisely changed the topic: "My current body can no longer do anything for Hal, I don't know what Hal will become in the future, but as a leader, I can only teach him one thing!" ”

Olivia looked at Wen Zhong and asked softly, "What is it?" ”

The warmth brought by the rising sun shone through the window on Wen Zhong's pale face, making Wen Zhong can't help but squint his eyes, look at the luxurious palace in the distance, and say slowly...

...

Two days later, a large group of soldiers and horses appeared in the northern suburbs of Xijing.

The sudden appearance of the army plunged the whole of Xijing into chaos, but it soon settled down again, because the defenders on the walls of Xijing City quickly recognized that this army had set off for Shangqiu to fight the barbarians two months earlier, and defeated the barbarian army overnight.

The army stopped three miles away from Xijing, and the bright yellow golden dragon banner came out of the army, and under the gaze of the Xijing defense army, it slowly walked.

There is no imaginary welcome in the middle of the road, let alone an imaginary vigilance, as if the whole Xijing does not know about the return of the army. Hal clearly knew that he had written to his father before he returned with the army, but there was still no response.

"Open the door! The Lone King is back! "Since killing 310,000 captives, Hal has always been a little violent from time to time, and his speech is no longer as polite as before.

But the soldiers on the city wall looked at each other, and they didn't dare to move for a while. Seeing the reaction of the soldiers on the city wall, no matter how stupid Hal was, he understood that something must have happened in Xijing City.

"It's not open yet, is it? Where is my father? If you don't open the door again, don't blame me for sending troops to attack! The evil on Hal's face loomed, and he slowly withdrew from the range of the bow and arrows on the wall, and several burly soldiers stood in front of him.

But everything shows that Hal's worries were unnecessary, and the defenders on the walls did not dare to attack Hal at all. After a while, I saw a big chubby face emerging from the city wall, "Your Highness! Don't be impulsive! It's not that you don't open the door, but you need to wait until the king agrees, please take it for a while! ”

This fat-faced Hal knew that he was a city gate captain named Wang Dabiao. Hearing this guy admit his identity as His Royal Highness, although he was secretly relieved in his heart, he still did not give up his vigilance, and still stood in the distance and let the soldiers pass the word: "What happened in Xijing City?" Why did I wait for nearly half a month at the Shangqiu camp, but I never got any military orders? ”

Wang Dabiao's face showed a trace of embarrassment, and after a long time, he said with some stumbling: "Palace... Your Royal Highness, the old king has gone immortal, and after the new king ascended the throne, he was afraid of the barbarians' meticulous assassination, and ordered martial law in the whole city, which was already half a month ago! ”

"What!?" Hal's face was shocked and angry, and he was shocked that before the whole army set out for the battle, his eccentric father was obviously quite healthy, but in two months, he died directly! The angry thing is that the second and third princes who are far away in Shangqiu and the barbarians are at war don't even know about such a big thing as the king's return to heaven.

Hal is not stupid, the seizure of the throne by the two kings was already in an uproar long before the invasion of the barbarian army of millions. Daddy asked his brother and himself to lead an army of 300,000 to resist the million-strong army of barbarians, which was already very problematic. During the war, the change of throne was even more of a problem within the question.

The new king doesn't have to think about it, according to the law of toes, he can know at once that there will be no second person except for the big brother who has no feelings. The disappearance of his brother, the death of his father, and the nearly month-long news blockade made Hal very angry, angry at being deceived, angry at discovering the conspiracy!

"And Jie! Come out! Without hesitation, Hal directly shouted out the name of the eldest brother and the name of the new king...
