Chapter 140: Am I Wrong?
Dark clouds obscured the moon, a drizzle fell, and the city experienced another quiet night.
"Tick, tick" The sound of water dripping on the eaves continued to sound, and the cold wind also cooperated with the "whirring" outside the house.
When the day came, the Alliance army retreated, but the soldiers and civilians who were huddled in the barbarian city did not know it.
A middle-aged barbarian woman hiding in a dilapidated house in Xicheng District looked embarrassed, squinting her eyes as if she was awake and sleeping, but her ears moved slightly, and she was extremely alert.
A glimmer of light crept in through the cracked cracks in the wall, and the morning sun shone on the arms that were already numb, bringing a little warmth.
The middle-aged woman's name was Sam, and she originally had an ordinary but happy family of three, but because of the invasion of the Union army, it was all shattered.
"Ahem, kid... Child..."Sam, who had a high fever, was dizzy, but because of the child's nowhere to be found, she kept remembering it.
Even though her limbs were very weak, Sam still tried to stand up, desperately trying to push open the wooden door that was firmly blocked by the logs and stones, and she hoped that as soon as she opened the door, she would see the cute child bathed in the sun.
A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, half an hour...... Sam trembled and leaned against the wall and finally stood up.
"Sister Sam, Sister Sam?" saw a dark shadow appear in the dim room, and a young girl who had a good relationship with her called out repeatedly.
Sam didn't answer because she didn't know what to say. At this moment, she just wants to rely on this breath that she has finally accumulated to support her to find her lost husband and son.
Unfortunately, the stakes that had been soaked in water were so heavy that she couldn't move them anyway.
In this cramped and dilapidated house, there were not only Sam and the young girl, but also a stout two-year-old boy still sleeping in his arms.
"What are you trying to kill us all?" The man roared in a low voice when he realized that the stupid woman was actually about to open the door, and he could no longer care about the child in his arms.
Sam still didn't answer, her trembling hands clutching at the stakes and stones, her innate maternal love supporting her body, and she wouldn't give up easily.
"Wow, ah~" The child cried, but the man didn't have the slightest intention of coaxing.
He was angry and wanted to scold again, but was stopped by the young girl and persuaded: "Sister Sam has lost her husband and child, she is very anxious, don't scold her."
And... And we already run out of food. ”
Hearing that there was no food, the man's annoyed expression suddenly became stagnant, and he slowly lowered his head high, and his face was full of decadence.
"Go ahead, take advantage of the fact that there are few people now, go and find out if there is any food outside, and the Buddha will bless you. ”
The man who believed in Buddhism folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name, bowed down and walked quickly to the door, pulled away Sam, who was still struggling with the wooden stakes and stones, and removed the debris piled up outside the wooden door.
The dilapidated wooden door was pushed open, and the harsh sunlight filtered into the room, and the barbarian man with a stubble face clutched the stone in his palm and half-squinted his eyes, ready to deal with the danger outside the door.
The rain of a day and a night did not wash away the smell of the barbarian city, and as soon as the door was opened, a strong smell of blood wafted into the nose.
There are no coalition troops on the streets who shout and kill at every turn, but some barbarians in gray clothes are blindly carrying dead bodies. Occasionally, when he saw people coming out of the ruined houses and ruins, he would pull a smile on his stiff face to show that he had no malicious intent.
What's going on, is it because the palace has been breached, so the alliance forces have retreated?
The barbarians who were lucky enough to survive all had doubts in their minds, and there were also expressions of disbelief.
Waiting to walk out into the street and bask in the sun, if I really didn't see those fierce Alliance troops again, the disbelief on my face gradually turned into surprise, and the group cheered!
Won, yes, they won.
Ordinary barbarians don't have a strong concept of family and country in their minds, and they don't care about what happened to the officials and lords who oppressed them in the past. They only knew that the Union army had retreated, and the Union army would no longer slaughter the city, and their own lives would be saved, and that would be enough.
Sam didn't have the surprise of the rest of her life, her eyes were fixed on the scattered pile of corpses in the middle of the street, and she had a bad premonition in her heart.
Hurriedly running over to pick up the stacked corpses, Sam was very uneasy, and the tears in the corners of his eyes kept falling like a waterfall.
......
The alliance army retreated, and the major tribes of the barbarian country knew the news as soon as possible.
The chiefs of the various tribes hurriedly gathered the bravest warriors of the tribe, and after a fierce speech centered on family hatred and national hatred, they successfully mobilized the fighting spirit in the hearts of the warriors, and with a wave of their hands, the army quickly marched in the direction of the barbarian city.
This time, the army came surprisingly fast. After a night's march, the endless armies of the major tribes came to the outside of the barbarian city.
The chieftain who led the army looked at the barbarian city that had been beaten to ruins, and each had his own thoughts.
And seeing that King Qin's army is coming, how can the barbarian city not go out of the city to greet it?
Li Dajian, who was immortal, was lucky enough to crawl out of the pile of corpses in the cellar and see the light of day again, but one leg was crushed.
However, he has always been an optimist, believing that if you don't die in a disaster, there will be a blessing. The blessing came, not only for his personal enjoyment, but also for the barbarian country to experience such a great tribulation, it should be time to operate.
Stalking and even threatening with his life, Li Dajian finally persuaded Xiao Se to change into a dragon robe, and then limped to the outside of the city with a pompous holy car.
The tribes of the barbarians are divided by strength, mainly into nine tribes.
The first place in comprehensive strength is the ancient tribe, with a total of 30,000 tribal warriors, and it is the most staunch Buddhist tribe.
That's right, this is the number one ancient clan family in the barbarian city. (Scattered tribes complement each other with the families in the barbarian cities, which is common in barbarian kingdoms.) If he didn't have the strength, how could Xiao Mobai, who was so powerful at the beginning, feel powerless and unable to start, and he was extremely jealous of these old ministers of the world)
The second place is the Eagle Tribe, that is, the tribe of the third junior brother Zaba. All of them believe in the eagle totem, and at most they can recruit 27,000 young men in the tribe, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
The third place is the Barbarian Cattle Department, all of which believe in the cattle slaughter city, and can recruit 20,000 warriors at most......
In ninth place are the steppe tribes, whose tribes are mixed, believe in everything, and have no prescribed standards for chiefs. In wartime, 10,000 warriors can be assembled at the earliest.
Nine tribes, not to mention the various small tribes that depend on them, the worst one has nearly 100,000 tribesmen. Added up, it can already represent most of the barbarian countries.
Now that the barbarian city is damaged, the influence of the Xiao royal family is unprecedentedly low. If the nine chieftains were to see the fatigue of the ruins of the barbarian city, they would inevitably have other thoughts.
Li Dajian was extremely anxious, could Xiao Se, who was not rightly named, be able to convince the people? If he could not convince the nine tribes, then the barbarian city would once again experience a great battle.
As the first tribe of the barbarian country, the ancient tribe was stationed in Xicheng, and in order to show respect for absolute strength, Li Dajian placed the place where the new emperor met with the army of the Qin King outside Xicheng.
Walking out of the ruins of the palace that was devastated and could not be seen after the earthquake, the car led by Li Dajian had to pass through the two major districts of Zhongcheng District and Xicheng District.
At this time, the scorching sun is in the middle, and the harsh weather of summer is slowly recovering.
Walking on the streets full of stagnant water, Li Dajian limped deep and shallow and walked on one foot, not even looking at the road when there were potholes.
pondered vigorously how to talk to the chiefs of the nine major tribes, took out enough chips to make everyone jealous, and drove all these "afterthoughts" back to the original tribe.
Xiao Se's dragon robe was half-forced by Li Dajian to put it on.
But if you ask Xiao Se if he is unwilling not to be the emperor? Wandering for half a life, Xiao Se, who has never felt a sense of home, will only shake his head at you.
When the emperor has such a good opportunity in front of him, it is within reach. No matter who you choose, you won't be so easy to refuse, right?
Who doesn't have ambitions, who doesn't want to have a home? Xiao Se is also a mortal, he hesitated.
Adapting to his new identity, when Xiao Se looked at the people kneeling on the street from a new perspective, his mentality also changed, and he lost the indifferent expression of the past.
These are my people. That's right, it's me! As long as the nine departments outside the city are resolved, I will be the only one who can call myself me in this western barbarian land in the future.
When Xiao Se's bright eyes began to reveal different looks, he knew that he had fallen to power, and he was no longer the "shadow killer" who had nothing but notoriety.
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with a more secure solution, Li Dajian looked at Xiao Se who looked slightly moving, the corners of his mouth rose, and he put all the trivial matters aside, and concentrated on explaining to Xiao Se all kinds of interesting things and secrets when he served his former master.
After a burst of talking and laughing, and vaguely strengthened some of Xiao Se's behavior habits as an emperor, Li Dajian talked about the harem and heirs again.
The bones of more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians on the side of the street who desperately defended the imperial city are not yet cold, but this country is the first time to establish a new emperor, and it also talks about the beauty of the harem, what an irony!
Li Xian stood at the end of Xicheng Street, watching countless people in a trance run out of the ruins of the dilapidated houses, screaming and crawling on the mountain of corpses that had been specially cleaned up.
They called the names of their friends and family, desperate for someone to answer them, even if it was just once.
Unfortunately, even if the person who was lucky enough not to die yesterday would have died if his wounds were not treated, and if he soaked in the cold and waterlogged streets for a night, he would have died a long time ago.
From hope to disappointment, and then from disappointment to despair, countless people hugged the corpses and cried bitterly.
Li Xian just watched silently like this, but he couldn't do anything.
Am I wrong?But if I don't, the whole city will have to be buried for this royal family!
This battle has consumed more than 2.7 million unlucky values, and even now, Li Xian has also borne more than 2 million foreign debts.
If someone suddenly stood up and told him that he was wrong, Li Xian would definitely vomit three liters of snow.
I don't know if it's for others or for myself. Just as Li Xian was lamenting, a loud shout rang out from the street: "My little treasure! My little treasure has been captured by the alliance army!"
One sound was not enough, and there were sharp shouts one after another on the street, but they were all said in barbarian language, and Li Xian could not understand the meaning except that he could hear the joy, anger and sorrow from the words.
With the flow of people on the street, Li Xian also rushed over.
Relying on the noble status of a monk, he successfully squeezed into the front of the crowd, and Li Xian looked down and saw a Central Plains sergeant lying on the ground covered in blood and dying.
Seeing the crowd of people with sticks around him, Li Xian knew who did this.
After all, the alliance army is an aggressor, and they have indiscriminately killed so many innocent people in the city, coupled with the unlucky value of more than two million wasted by Li Xian, so they have no good impression of these alliance soldiers.
However, a few women who kept crying next to him distracted most of Li Xian's attention.
Among them was a middle-aged woman named Sam who could speak Mandarin. Li Xian learned through her mouth that the reason why the woman was crying was that her child had been captured by the Union army, and that she had suffered the same thing.
After saying that, Sam fainted directly due to his emaciation and high fever, and was taken away by the doctors who were watching the excitement around him.
Didn't the Confederates want to slaughter the city? How could they kidnap children?
This purpose is too different!
Just as Li Xian was scratching his ears and cheeks pondering the true thoughts of the six marshals of the Alliance Army, the incomplete sorcerer who walked to him at some point suddenly spoke: "Man is a soldier of the Heavenly Earth Kingdom, but why he did this, I don't know." ”
"Heavenly Earth Kingdom, Miao Fei?" Li Xian muttered softly, and his mind unconsciously appeared that he stood on the high platform that day, 'If you don't break the barbarian city, you won't return'.
"That's... What happened to Miao Fei and the others?" Li Xian wanted to know if Miao Fei was still alive.
What the Heavenly Earth Kingdom did must have nothing to do with Miao Fei. If Miao Fei was still alive, the Alliance Army should still be under his control.
Since the military power was still in his hands, why did he retreat so willingly? You must know that at the beginning, for the sake of his immortal merits, he even dared to disobey the holy decree from the Heavenly Earth Kingdom.
After only experiencing one setback, how could he retreat so easily?
You must know that if there are so many precious miracles killed or wounded, if there are no special circumstances, he will definitely not be treated by the victorious army when he returns, but may be judged like a prisoner.
Thinking that the clouds and breezes when the alliance army retreated, without the slightest hesitation, Li Xian felt more and more suspicious.
As one of the five witches at the decision-making level of the daughter country, and one of the leading generals of this alliance, the real reason why the six countries are united with different political views and even hate each other must be known by the incomplete wizard.
But there are some things related to the plan of the whole chess game, which affects the whole body, and cannot be known by Li Xian for the time being.
The Chef was silent for a while, then nodded, "Miao Fei is still alive, and he is the commander who commanded the retreat of the Alliance Army."
In this battle, more than 15,000 abnormal soldiers were damaged, and the six commanders who came, except for me, Miao Fei and Yan Bing, the other three were nowhere to be found, and it was likely that they were already fierce and auspicious under the power of heaven. ”
