Chapter Forty-Six: Closing the Crown

When the generals heard this, they stood up one by one, only to see a red-armored general walking in, smiling and enthusiastic, not like he had just returned with the army to report the military situation, but like a triumphant parade through the streets.

For some reason, as soon as Feng Yi saw this cynical and reckless second marquis, the haze in his heart just now was cleared up a lot. He smiled and walked ahead.

Ji Gengjin laughed and said, "Young master, I haven't seen you for many days, your face is not very good?"

Feng Yi was just about to speak, but Ji Shisheng on the side coughed a few times and said coldly: "Second brother, don't mess around." Tell me about the war on the Southern Front?"

Everyone pricked up their ears, but Ji Gengjin didn't speak, sat down, took a jade pot, and drank it with a grunt, until he saw Ji Shisheng's face was not good, and then smiled: "Big brother, you are still so serious, after this big battle, it's time to rest." ”

Ji Shisheng said coldly: "You already know?" There was a reproach in his words.

Feng Yi saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly came out of the round field and said: "Second Marquis, I heard that you met the army of witch songs and witches in Xirong in the south, and I was worried about you, but now it seems that I am too worried. ”

Ji Gengjin slapped his thigh when he heard this, and said, "This time the army is really thrilling!"

Feng Yi smiled: "It's not dangerous." ”

Ji Gengjin smiled and spoke eloquently. Only then did everyone know that after the second marquis led his army to the south that day, he walked around for a day and a night without encountering half of the enemy. Just as he was about to be in class, a group of Xirong troops suddenly fell from the sky.

Everyone secretly sweated, and when they were about to listen to a fight, Ji Gengjin laughed.

Feng Yi said secretly: "He must be very happy with emotion." "That witch song and witch dance is good at controlling witch wind Gu worms with song and dance, which can eat away at people's spiritual power and will. For others, it is naturally a disaster, but for the lustful second marquis, I am afraid it is a happy event from heaven.

Sure enough, Ji Gengjin said with a smile: "At the beginning, the Xirong Army continued to release Gu worms, all over the sky, but we have Gu Repellent Spirit Armor, so naturally we are not afraid of them. But after a while, those Gu masters took off their robes, and they turned out to be a group of fragrant beauties......"

As he spoke, he also sighed in admiration, and the generals in the hall were very embarrassed to hear it.

Ji Gengjin only pretended not to see the eyes of the lord of the country and the eldest brother, and continued: "This group of beauties is all beautiful and fragrant, and there is this indescribable alluring charm, we are all confused by them. ”

"The Kunwu swordsmen were so weak that they couldn't even hold their swords. It's like a slave in the gentle country, but we can't help them, and they can't help us. ”

"We are a master of a hundred battles, and we have watched the fragrant dance on the grassland for a few days, but unfortunately, yesterday this group of beauties suddenly retreated and disappeared. We didn't dare to pursue, so the class teacher returned. ”

After all, he still looks like he can't get enough.

Ji Shisheng was cold-faced, if he hadn't been concerned about the young master's face, he would have been scolded in public.

Bo Mi has always been familiar with the temperament of the second marquis, and said lightly at the moment: "Gengjin, although you did not exterminate the other party, it is also a great achievement to reserve an army for Kunwu." ”

Ji Gengjin was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Lord of the country." ”

Bo Mi sat back in his place, glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone should already know what has happened in the past few days. The Xirong Southern Barbarian Army was menacing, and the countries in the Western Regions were silent, and they closed their gates one after another, not daring to come out. After several battles, we Kunwu suffered 20,000 casualties and hundreds of thousands of people were taken captive, and our strength was greatly damaged. He is no longer able to fight the enemy. ”

"We are convening you today to discuss a countermeasure, how to deal with this disaster?"

As soon as the voice of the lord of Bo Mi fell, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and talked about it. Some suggested moving the capital to avoid its edge; some proposed to send envoys to Dantong, Xinyi, and other former Bactria vassal states to ask for reinforcements; and some even proposed to gather troops to fight to the death......

Ji Shisheng discussed with Feng Yi before he was born, and he was ready to send troops to the Sea of Stars to fight for reinforcements, but he had always been cautious in using troops, but when it came to the end, he hesitated, and he didn't know how to mention it for a while?

But I heard Ji Gengjin slap the table and shouted: "Do you need to say this? Now that we have the elixir and the spirit armor, what are we afraid of the Xirong people, of course, we will directly attack the sea of stars, take revenge, and rescue the people at the same time!"

As soon as his voice fell, a general said: "The second marquis said this is a matter of will, and now that Kunwu's military strength has been greatly damaged, isn't it to hit a stone with an egg when he goes to the Sea of Stars?"

When Xia Geng heard this, he said: "What does it mean to hit a stone with an egg? My Kunwu swordsman has superb skills, crisscrossing the Western Regions, and is invincible, but now I have suffered a little loss? How did I become a stone with an egg?"

"A small loss? Nearly 30,000 people were killed in battle, also called a small loss, according to General Xia Geng's words, if we suffer another small loss, we Kunwu should destroy the country!"

For a while, all the generals talked and quarreled. But no one can convince anyone, there are many people who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they are all hot-tempered characters who are not afraid of heaven and earth, and they are almost going to fight.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, listen to me. ”

Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound in the main hall, deafening, everyone heard the words, suddenly stopped, followed the sound to look, but saw that the person who spoke was the young master.

Feng Yi said with a smile: "All the generals are Kunwu's dry cities, as long as you still have fighting spirit, Kunwu will not die." Seeing that everyone was looking at him without blinking, Feng Yi couldn't help wiping a handful of sweat, he knew very well that his words and deeds were related to thousands of lives.

Feng Yi said again: "The point that everyone argued about before was nothing more than whether to send troops. I would like to ask you a question first, now that Yushan City and Shuangcheng are in shambles, Lu Zhongcheng has lost its protection and has almost become a lonely city, if we stick to this place, in case the Xirong Southern Barbarian Army comes to attack, can we win?"

When the generals heard this, their faces couldn't help but darken. Suddenly, there was a humanitarian: "Although we can't win, there is enough food in the city to support it for ten years." There are also 20,000 swordsmen, if they want to take them down, don't think so easy. ”

Ji Shisheng said lightly: "The food is sufficient, but has the general ever thought that the water sources in the city are all rivers outside the city, in case Xirong is in the water, can we prevent it?"

The general who spoke was stunned when he heard this, and he was immediately unable to respond.

Ji Gengjin clapped his hands and said, "What the eldest brother said is true." But even if we have food and water, who can stand being trapped in a city for ten years......?

Feng Yi listened to what he said, and the more outrageous it became, he hurriedly interrupted: "What the two marquis said is the key, the people of a city need not only food and water, but also cloth, gold and iron, and trees...... and other kinds of supplies. Once the city is besieged, I am afraid that in less than a year, the people in the city will lose their fighting spirit, and they will not even be as good as the walking dead. ”

His words were so well-founded that no one could refute them. It wasn't until later that General Xia Geng took the lead and shouted: "Young master, don't say so much. Hurry up and give the order, we Kunwu are all under your command. ”

After that battle of defending and breaking through the city of Yushan City, Xia Geng was already convinced by this young young master, and there was no trace of underestimation and suspicion.

Feng Yi laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll take care of it." My advice is that you must not retreat into the city, and only by fighting the enemy head-on can you save the people and avoid the fate of the country!"

When the generals heard this, they applauded.

Feng Yi nodded, and said to Bo Mi on the seat: "Lord, what do you think?"

In fact, Feng Yi knew Bo Mi's thoughts earlier, and this move was just to make him express his position and subdue those generals who had two hearts.

Bo Mi smiled and nodded: "The young master is both wise and brave, and he is strategic, which is really the gospel of my Kunwu and Great Xia." In this battle, everything was under the command of the young master, and I sat in the rear to prevent Xiaoxiao from harassing me. ”

Feng Yi smiled and said: "The lord of the country is very good!" and then said to everyone: "Everyone rest for three days, heal and recuperate, and bring the elixir and spiritual armor." Three days later, the army gathered outside the city gate and attacked the Sea of Stars!"

All the generals took the order in turn, and went out of the temple and prepared to go. Only a few people such as Feng Yi, Bo Mi, Ji Shisheng, and Ji Gengjin were left.

Bo Mi's face returned to indifference, and he said in a deep voice: "Young master, this is the moment of life and death, even if Kunwu dies, you can't do anything." ”

Feng Yi was very emotional when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "What did the country lord say? As the young master of Great Xia, how can I survive alone, and this time I vow to live and die with Kunwu." ”

Ji Shisheng suddenly said: "Young master, what you said is wrong. It's okay for Kunwu to die, but if you have three longs and two shorts, then it will be completely impossible to recover the ideal of Great Xia and overthrow tyranny. ”

Feng Yi naturally knew the truth and weight, and he couldn't deal with it for a while, his eyes were moist, and he almost burst into tears.

Bo Mi said: "It is precisely because of this that I will hand over these two things to you. ”

Feng Yi felt strange in his heart, but saw Bo Mi take out two small tripods, one blue and one yellow, from his arms, which were exactly Kanshui and Kundi. These two tripods have been kept in the Kunwu Kingdom since the fall of Great Xia, and they can be said to be national treasures, and today they have to be handed over to him at the same time, how can Feng Yi accept it?

He hurriedly said: "Lord of the country, by all means, these two tripods are Kunwu's national treasures, and they are also the power to protect Kunwu, I can't ask for them!"

Bo Mi said in a deep voice: "Young master, don't shirk, these two tripods originally belonged to the Great Xia royal family, and now they are just returning to their original owners." ”

Ji Gengjin suddenly smiled and said: "That's it, young master, you are usually reckless and bold, why are you twisting and pinching now, like a girl." ”

Feng Yi repeatedly refused, but in the end he couldn't do it, so he could only put the two tripods down, feeling the majestic and quintessential water spirit and earth spirit, Feng Yi was surprised and happy.

After a while, Bo Mi said again: "This time the enemy is strong, and Kunwu is in an unprecedented crisis. So after the news of your defeat came, I went to Sword Casting Mountain and asked the Fifth Elder for an artifact!"

When the two marquis heard this, their faces changed, and they were immediately overjoyed.

Feng Yi hurriedly asked, "What artifact?"

Bo Mi said lightly: "Kunwu Sword!"
