Chapter 273: King Zhennan
The main city of Western Liao is the center of the southwest border and the core of power in the southwest region.
At this moment, the inside and outside of the Zhennan Wangfu are very lively, and the atmosphere in the whole city is extremely active, and every household is hung with red lanterns, as if it is a New Year.
Today is the 60th birthday of the king of Zhennan, although a few days ago the lord of the country was newly mourned, the border war was chaotic, but this does not affect the prosperous and lively scene here.
Seeing such a scene, it is inevitable that people will feel the prosperity of the prosperous world, but under such prosperity, how much blood and tears are buried, who will know.
......
"What are you talking about!?The fall of Yellow Wind City!?What's the situation?!"
In the study, King Zhennan suddenly got up, his eyes full of anger. Although he is over sixty years old, his hair and beard are black, and his eyebrows are clever, giving people a momentum that is not angry and self-assured.
Today is his birthday, it should be a day of great joy, the guests gathered, but he didn't expect this kind of moth to suddenly appear, which made him suddenly feel disgraced. The most important thing is that the prosperity he has worked so hard to manage for many years has suddenly disappeared.
In fact, the war in the twelve cities before the month was suppressed by him, and when he reported it, he did not explain the return of the Quartet to the ruins.
"I remember, it's Lin Sheng who guards Huangfeng City, right? What about the others? Let him personally roll over to this king!"
Hearing King Zhennan's angry and suppressed inquiry, the guard who was half-kneeling in front of him said tremblingly: "Lin Dashuai...... Lin Dashuai has already died in battle, and there are more than 38,000 people in the city, and none of them are alive!"
"None...... None of them are alive!?"
Stunned, King Zhennan's anger disappeared, and he sat back on the chair with a pale face, and the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
"How so...... How can this be......"
After all, the king of Zhennan was the strong man on the side of the town, and after a while, he came back to his senses, stepped forward and grabbed the guard's collar and said, "Say, what's going on?"
The guards immediately reported: "Back to the prince, last night the dark department received a message from Wanli, and a large group of strange insects poured out from the cracks in the ground around the border plug, and looted the Yellow Wind City overnight......"
King Zhennan interrupted, "What does it mean to be ransacked?"
"That's it...... It's ......"
There was a bit of sadness in the guard's eyes: "It's that all the people have been devoured by the insects, leaving only white bones everywhere, not only people, as long as they are living creatures, none of them are spared, if it weren't for the caravan passing by, I'm afraid the news would take two days to get out." ”
"What!?"
The king of Zhennan is well-informed, and his heart is as deep as the sea, and he can't help but be shocked at this moment.
"Newspaper"
Another anxious voice suddenly came from outside the door, and he rushed in directly without even passing it, but it was a middle-aged general.
"What's going on in a panic?"
King Zhennan held back his anger and calmed down his emotions. The general in front of him is his confidant, who specializes in supervising the affairs of all parts of the border, and usually behaves abnormally well, and has never behaved so rudely.
The general didn't have such a qi cultivation skill, and said with a flustered expression: "The prince is not good, something happened on the other side of the border!"
"Humph!"
King Zhennan said coldly: "I already know, Huangfeng City has been invaded by insects, and there is no grass growing, right? The dark department has already submitted the news, you group of waste, spend so much manpower and material resources on you every year, but you have not collected any news in advance, this king has really raised you in vain! You don't need to do this position as a military supervisor, so you will go to the city gate guard to report tomorrow!"
"The prince wants to punish the last general, and the last general will never complain, but I beg the prince to listen to the last general's words......"
After a pause, the general said with a bitter face: "Not only is Huangfeng City attacked by insects, but all the fortresses on the border have been attacked by insects, and even Tianyue City is in danger. ”
"Tianyue City!?"
King Zhennan was taken aback, as if he had been drenched in cold water: "What is the situation in Tianyue City now!?"
Tianyue City is the first fortress on the southwest border, if Tianyue City is destroyed, then there will never be a day of peace on the southwest border.
The general obviously knew how easy things were, and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, Tianyue City is guarded by Helian Xing, which is relatively safe, and all of his men are elite soldiers, and they have driven away the insects, but they have also lost thousands of soldiers. ”
Hearing the general's story, King Zhennan's heart was a little calm, but he didn't know that he didn't tell the truth completely under his tree, and those insects were not driven away by Helian Xing, but left on their own after eating.
......
King Zhennan frowned and pondered, walking back and forth in the study, the atmosphere around him was oppressive and heavy.
After a long time, the king of Zhennan spoke: "Pass the order, and order the leader of the Eighteen Kings Banner to send a million troops to quickly support the border cities and quell the insect chaos...... In addition, in extraordinary times, the cities are forbidden and are not allowed to enter and leave at will, and if there are rumors and rumors to confuse the public, there will be no forgiveness!"
"Lord Wang, what about the Twelve Cities?"
Hearing the general suddenly ask, the guards on the side interjected: "The people of the Twelve Cities have always been independent and special, and they don't take the prince in their eyes, so why bother whether they live or die!"
"Shut up!"
King Zhennan snorted coldly, his face was quite ugly. If he doesn't understand this truth, he is not worthy of the position of King Zhennan. And if it weren't for the southwest wall, it would be impossible for him to sit firmly in the position of the king of Zhennan, so many times he would turn a blind eye and pass over.
Now that the catastrophe is present, it is impossible for him to let the twelve cities fall down.
"What's going on with the Twelve Cities now!?"
"This ......"
The general hesitated slightly: "The last general has not received the book and newspaper from the side of the Twelve Cities, so I guess he should not have received an attack from the insects." ”
"Newspaper"
Suddenly, another guard came outside the door to report the news, and the king of Zhennan immediately called someone in.
"Lord Qiqi, this is an urgent report sent by the Twelve Liancheng, which has an introduction to the origin of the insect and countermeasures......"
Before the words fell, the king of Zhennan hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the letter from the guard's hand.
Demonic Worm ...... The Ancients...... Wild Beast Tide...... Demonic plague......
After reading it several times, King Zhennan's face became more and more pale. He never thought that this insect turned out to be a precursor to the ancient catastrophe, and what could he do when the power was monstrous.
......
"Quickly pass this letter to the border cities word for word, so that they can take measures to deal with it, and there must be no slackness, otherwise the king will want their heads!"
"Yes, the last will do it. ”
"Lord, what about the birthday banquet?"
"The birthday banquet has been canceled, and the king will personally go to the border to understand the specific situation, and the affairs here will be presided over by the eldest prince for the time being. ”
With that, King Zhennan hurriedly left the study.
......
[Zimu: It's Christmas Eve again, I wish you all peace, good health, happiness and happiness. 】
