Volume III, Chapter 621
Two bold Jin soldiers both walked out of the crowd and walked up the steps to the gate of the palace.
The two looked at each other, then reached out and pushed the door open.
"Bang dang!"
As the door of the palace was pushed open, the two golden soldiers also jumped into the palace. It's just that they went in faster and fell faster, and with two screams, the two golden soldiers both fell to the ground, and immediately after, their bodies were thrown out of the hall.
"Plop, plop!"
As the two corpses fell out, the faces of the soldiers of the Jin Army and the New Red Alliance Army present changed the same, and people hurriedly looked down to see that the two Jin soldiers were all struck by the throat, cut by a sharp blade, and blood was gushing out along the wounds.
There are still enemy troops in the palace! After seeing this, the people subconsciously raised their heads in unison and looked into the palace.
At this moment, a man slowly walked out of the palace, this person was covered in a dark red brocade robe, black satin boots under his feet, and held a sword with a cold light in his hand.
The one who came out was not a bystander, it was the Red King Shi Huai.
Shi Huai is not an ordinary monarch, he is also an extremely famous underworld warrior, and a few ordinary soldiers do not pose a threat to him at all.
He stood at the door of the palace, looking around at the black, dense, and crowded Jin Army and the New Red Alliance Army soldiers below, Shi Huai couldn't help but laugh wildly on his back, he raised his sword with one hand, looked around everyone with the blade of the sword, and shouted loudly: "This king is here, if you want this king's head, come and get it!"
The officers and men of the Jin Army and the New Red Alliance Army looked at each other, and for a moment they were really overwhelmed by the momentum of Shi Huai.
Just when people were still thinking about whether to rush over, Lin Haotian and Song Hao had already walked in surrounded by many soldiers and guards.
Parting their own crowd, Lin Haotian and Song Hao walked to the front of the palace.
Song Hao didn't know how to martial arts, and after walking out of the crowd, he stopped. But Lin Haotian didn't, he didn't stop until he walked to the steps, and said to Shi Huailang, who was standing on the steps: "His Royal Highness King Shi, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm!"
If you see others, Shi Huai's mood can be calmer. But when he saw Lin Haotian, his face immediately turned purple. Shi Huai's hatred for Lin Haotian was beyond imagination, his teeth were clenched, and the palm of his sword was suddenly trembling.
He and Lin Haotian looked at each other for a long time, and Fang squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Lin Haotian, you are so ruthless......"
Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders casually and said indifferently: "Originally, the two countries would become the closest allies. However, the reason why we have come to this point today is that His Royal Highness King Shi can't tolerate my Jin Kingdom!"
"Fart!" Shi Huai was so angry that he was almost speechless, he directly pointed his sword at Lin Haotian and asked, "Lin Haotian, do you dare to fight me to the death!"
Before Lin Haotian could answer, Zhang Bufan, who was standing behind him, stood up and arched his hand to him, "My lord." Let the Doomsday fight him!"
Lin Haotian smiled and waved his hand, how many catties and taels did Shi Huai. He knew in his heart that although Shi Huai's martial arts were good, they were just good, and compared to himself, they were far from it.
He said leisurely: "It's all at this time, why should His Royal Highness King Shi embarrass himself!" You are not my opponent at all, and even if you fight, you will only make a fool of yourself in public.
Shi Huai is also a high-minded and arrogant person, where can he stand Lin Haotian's contempt like this, he suddenly roared. Jumping down directly from the steps, the person was still in mid-air, the sword in his hand had completed the underworld, and he stabbed towards Lin Haotian's face.
He was menacing, a sword stabbed out, fast and ruthless, as powerful as lightning, the soldiers of the Jin Army and the New Red Alliance Army present saw it clearly, they all gasped, and couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Lin Haotian.
Lin Haotian was still calm, his body was slightly sideways, and he didn't see how he moved, the person had already slipped out a foot sideways, and the edge of the sword stabbed fiercely from his side with a strong wind.
missed the blow, Shi Huai still had a back hand, and the long sword that stabbed out swung back again, slashing back at the back of Lin Haotian's head.
"Adults be careful-" Even Zhang Bufan couldn't help but remind Lin Haotian out loud.
Of course, his reminder was also superfluous, if Lin Haotian was hurt so easily, he wouldn't be alive now.
I saw that while Lin Haotian's body was bent down, his left foot was also raised, and a scorpion swung his tail, hitting Shi Huai's lower abdomen.
"Bang!"
This kick was strong, and Shi Huai didn't cover his armor, he was directly kicked out more than half a meter away, and sat on the ground.
He felt that all the internal organs in his body were boiling, as if they were entangled together, he slowed down for a moment, Fang Qiang endured the pain, supported the ground with his sword, and stood up tremblingly again.
He knew that Lin Haotian's martial arts were powerful, but he didn't expect Lin Haotian's fists and feet to be so good.
He gathered his mind and showed his true skills.
As the dark mist dispersed, Shi Huai's body quickly condensed his armor, and then raised his sword again and rushed towards Lin Haotian, slashing three swords in a row at the same time, dividing Lin Haotian's middle and lower three ways.
He was fast, but Lin Haotian's movements were faster, and he saw his arms shaking, and the Xuantie Han Halberd had appeared in his palm, instantly turning into darkness, blocking Shi Huai's fast attack with the war halberd, and then counterattacking the three halberds.
Shi Huai was secretly frightened and retreated, for fear that Lin Haotian would take advantage of the situation to pursue, and when he was in the air, he released the Martial Arts Skill, the Flame Divine Hammer.
At that moment, a large giant hammer that erupted in an instant attacked Lin Haotian like a tornado, but the moment the air flow approached, Lin Haotian's figure suddenly disappeared, and appeared out of thin air behind Shi Huai's back like a ghost, and the halberd swung and slashed Shi Huai's back.
Shi Huai's underworld martial arts are not weak, but he suffers from lack of experience, especially the experience of fighting against beast-type underworld warriors. When Lin Haotian disappeared in front of him, his whole person was stunned, and when he reacted, he suddenly realized that it was not good, Lin Haotian must have flashed behind him with a shadow drift, but at this time, it was too late for him to dodge or block Lin Haotian's Xuantie Han Halberd.
"Smack!"
Lin Haotian's halberd was in the middle of Shi Huai's back, his body was like a kite with a broken string, swooping forward, falling far away, tumbling to the ground, and the sword was out of his hand. Fell to the ground, spewed bloody arrows with a wow, and then looked at his back, the armor was shattered, revealing the brocade robe inside.
This is thanks to Lin Haotian's mercy and did not use the halberd blade to slash. Instead, use a knife to smash it, otherwise even if Shi Huai has armor and body protection, he will have to be cut into several pieces by Lin Haotian.
The blow smashed Shi Huai into a serious injury, Lin Haotian did not continue the pursuit, he dispersed the dark iron halberd, and then put it away, stepped on the T-shaped step, looked down at Shi Huai who fell to the ground, and said quietly: "In the battlefield of thousands of troops and horses." Your Red Army is not the opponent of my Jin Army, in a personal duel, you are still not my opponent, His Royal Highness King Shi, now you are convinced to lose?"
"Wow-"
As soon as Lin Haotian's words fell, a deafening cheer broke out at the scene, and the soldiers of the Jin Army and the New Red Alliance Army present all admired Lin Haotian's martial arts.
In fact, people don't expect their bosses to be powerful. After all, it is impossible for the coach to charge into battle and storm the city like he does. Of course, if your own commander's martial arts are really powerful, it is also a glory that makes you proud.
The reason why Lin Haotian accepted Shi Huai's heads-up was precisely because he wanted to take this opportunity to show his skills in front of many soldiers, so that the soldiers of the Jin Army and the New Red Army knew that he was the commander of the First Army. is not a weak person who can't lift his hands and can't resist on his shoulders, and in the Jin Army, Zhang Bufan is not the only god of war......
After a long pause, Shi Huai finally took a breath back, and he scattered the armor on his body. Got up from the ground with difficulty, stood there, his body trembled violently, but his two eyes were still staring at Lin Haotian, I don't know how long later, he suddenly turned around, walked towards the palace, and said without looking back: "Lin Haotian, now...... You're ready to go. β
Finally walked to the top of the steps, Shi Huai slowly turned around, looked at Lin Haotian, raised his head and said, "Lin Haotian, if you are still a man, you can give me a good time today, don't humiliate me." β
Lin Haotian didn't plan to let go of Shi Huai, one mountain does not allow two tigers, after the two countries of gold and red are combined into one, if Shi Huai is still alive, Lin Haotian will not be able to sleep and eat.
Shi Huai naturally understood that Lin Haotian would definitely not let himself go, and he was ready to die now.
Looking at Shi Huai's resolute expression, Lin Haotian narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, seeing that he still didn't make the next move, Zhang Bufan, who was beside him, couldn't help but remind in a low voice: "Your Excellency, ......"
Lin Haotian came back to his senses and slowly raised his arm.
With his action, the guards of the Jin Army behind raised their bows and arrows one after another, and the edges of the arrows were unanimously aimed at Shi Huai on the steps.
Now as long as Lin Haotian gives an order, even if it is a wave of his hand, the Jin army will shoot Shi Huai into a hedgehog. But what was surprising was that Lin Haotian's raised arm was slowly put back, and then he walked up the steps and came to Shi Huai.
"Your Royal Highness, I think there are some things that we should make clear in private. As he spoke, Lin Haotian crossed Shi Huai and walked into the palace.
Regarding Lin Haotian's actions, not to mention that the soldiers of the Jin Army and the New Red Alliance Army present were stunned, even Shi Huai, a monk who was also the second brother-in-law, was puzzled and didn't understand what medicine Lin Haotian was selling in his gourd.
He stared at Lin Haotian coldly for a while, and finally followed him into the palace.
I don't know what Lin Haotian has to talk to Shi Huai at this time, Song Hao was surprised and curious in his heart, he muttered for a moment, and then walked up the steps and entered the dormitory to see what was going on.
Let's say Lin Haotian, when he entered the palace, he keenly smelled the smell of blood, looked around, and found that there was a person lying on the innermost bed in the palace, a beautiful woman, she was Mrs. Xue Yao who had just been stabbed to death by Shi Huai's sword.
Lin Haotian stood in front of the bed, looked down at Xue Yao's pale beauty, and said regretfully: "It's a pity to be such a beautiful woman......
Shi Huai was behind Lin Haotian's back, staring at him with vicious and hateful eyes, and said coldly: "Is it a pity?
Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows, and then understood what Shi Huai meant, it seemed that Shi Huai was afraid that his woman would fall into his hands after his death, he smiled lightly and said, "I have never been interested in other people's women. β
This point is certain, Lin Haotian can't say that he has little desire, but he is not a desolate person, he said expressionlessly: "Although you are like this, others may not." β
Lin Haotian nodded in understanding and did not answer.
At this time, hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Shi Huai looked back, and it turned out to be Song Hao walking in.
Shi Huai ignored him and wiped a handful of blood from the corner of his mouth. He asked Lin Haotian, "Lin Haotian, don't you have something to say?"
Lin Haotian was silent for a while, and then asked: "His Royal Highness King Shi used to be the Red King, and he has a lot of family members, if His Royal Highness King Shi dies, how should I settle them?"
Hear this. Shi Huai's fists clenched subconsciously, but soon, they slowly loosened again.
Now, he can't even save his own life, how can he protect the lives of his wife and concubines? He closed his eyes and said faintly: "I don't expect you to let them go at all. β
"Why not?" Lin Haotian asked with a smile.
Shi Huai suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Lin Haotian, and asked in disbelief, "Will you let my family go?"
It wasn't the first day he met Lin Haotian, and he was ruthless to Lin Haotian. He couldn't understand that Lin Haotian would be so kind to let his family go?
"Of course!" Lin Haotian nodded, and then, after a change of words, he said, "However, I also hope that His Royal Highness King Shi can agree to a condition for me." β
Sure enough, let's just say, Lin Haotian wouldn't be so kind, it turned out that he had other plans! Shi Huai gritted his teeth. After thinking for a while, he said, "What are the conditions?" You say!"
Lin Haotian said slowly: "I hope that His Royal Highness King Shi can write an edict, and in the edict, it will be stated that the Red Kingdom will be merged into the Jin Kingdom. As long as His Royal Highness King Shi can do this, I can guarantee that after His Royal Highness King Shi dies, he will treat your widow well. Keep them safe and well-fed, and they will not be bullied. β
Shi Huai was stunned for a moment, then laughed on his back, shook his head and said, "Lin Haotian, Lin Haotian." Now that you have broken the capital of our country, you have lost my great red, and my red country is like something in your pocket, what kind of bullshit edict do you need me to write?"
Lin Haotian smiled slightly and said: "Is it too much, I have my own ideas in my heart, His Royal Highness King Shi only needs to do what I want." β
Shi Huai was not a fool, he didn't react at first, but he quickly understood Lin Haotian's intentions.
If he writes this edict according to Lin Haotian's intentions, then not only the Red Kingdom will die, but even the hearts of all the Red people will also die together, and there will be no Red people standing up against the Jin State in the future, and the Jin State can take over the Red Land with peace of mind. Yan Erguo, all interests will be monopolized by the Jin family.
Thinking of this, Shi Huai smiled angrily, looked back at Song Hao behind him, pointed at Lin Haotian, and sneered: "Song Hao, this is the good ally you chose......!
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Haotian interrupted with his old god on the ground: "I have already agreed with Brother Song that the two countries of Jin and Xinchi are called two families, but they are actually one family, and what Jin Guo gets is naturally also from Xinchi. His Royal Highness King Shi, at this point, you don't have to worry anymore, and don't try to provoke the feelings between me and Brother Song. β
"Hmph!" Shi Huai sneered and said bluntly: "Lin Haotian, you advise you to die as soon as possible, you can kill my country, but I will never write an edict for the whole country to surrender!"
For the sake of the word integrity, His Royal Highness King Shi really disregarded the safety of his wife and concubines and children? I believe that His Royal Highness King Shi's wives and concubines are all beautiful women, His Royal Highness King Shi can think about what will happen if they are thrown into the army, presumably when the time comes, His Royal Highness King Shi will not be blind even if he is dead!" Lin Haotian lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, and said softly with a smile.
He said it lightly, but Shi Huai's eyes were about to erupt with fire, and even Song Hao's face changed, feeling that Lin Haotian's words were too cruel.
"Lin Haotianβ" Shi Huai roared hoarsely.
Lin Haotian waved his hand, intending to curse behind him, and said, "His Royal Highness King Shi, it's just an edict, and this edict can also protect the lives of his family, why not?"
Shi Huai retracted and fell silent.
Seeing this, Lin Haotian continued: "As long as His Royal Highness King Shi is willing to write this edict, I will also bury His Royal Highness King Shi with the gift of the monarch, and I will never damage the majesty of His Royal Highness King Shi." β
"It seems that you have already calculated that I will comply. Shi Huai nodded, and now he could see that Lin Haotian would never stop if he didn't achieve his goal.
Lin Haotian didn't answer, walked to the table, grinded it himself, and prepared the pen and paper, then looked at Shi Huai with a smile and said, "His Royal Highness King Shi, please!"
This is the reason why Shi Huai killed Xue Yao! He would rather his wives and concubines and children all die than see them suffer humiliation at the hands of the Jin army, but unfortunately the Jin army and the New Red Alliance army attacked too quickly, so fast that he only killed Xue Yao, and he didn't have time to find other wives and concubines.
Shi Huai dragged his heavy body, slowly walked to the table, looked down at the paper and pen on the table, then raised his head again, looked directly at Lin Haotian, and said word by word: "Lin Haotian, I can accept your conditions, but I also hope that you will keep your word, and don't forget your promise today." β
Lin Haotian's face turned straight and said, "Your Royal Highness King Shi, please rest assured, in this matter, I will never go back on my word!"
Shi Huai didn't say much, picked up the pen, and quickly wrote the edict on the rice paper.
The content of the edict is according to Lin Haotian's meaning, saying that after his death, for the long-term peace and stability of the two countries and the peace and contentment of the people, the Red Kingdom will merge with the Jin State into one country......
After he finished writing, he threw away the pen in his hand, picked up the national seal of the Red Kingdom, and covered it heavily on his face, and then he picked up the written edict, shook his hand and threw it to Lin Haotian, and asked angrily: "Lin Haotian, are you satisfied this time?"
Lin Haotian picked up the edict and read it carefully from beginning to end, then, he nodded, dried the ink on the noodles, and then carefully folded it and put it into his arms, he said to Shi Huai: "I don't know if His Royal Highness King Shi has any unfulfilled wishes before leaving?"
"If you can't eat your flesh and gnaw your bones, is this an unfulfilled wish?" Shi Huai asked back.
"Haha-" Lin Haotian looked up and laughed, without saying anything more, and walked out of the palace without looking back. (To be continued......)
