Although Xiao Shizhu had already seen that Wu Hui had a problem, and based on this, he speculated that Zhu Rong Guozhong might have changed after the war began, because of Wu Hui, and Changqin also waved his troops back to China, but when the expectation came true, he was still a little shocked.

He had imagined more than a dozen possibilities for an accident, but what he never expected was that this change would be Zhu Rong's sudden death. At the same time, I am also very suspicious, does this matter have anything to do with Wu Hui?

But these are not important, he is more worried that in this kind of sudden situation, Changqin will inevitably go back to mourn if he says anything. And when he returned to China, in addition to going to the funeral, he inherited the throne. Xiao Shizhu had no reason to force the other party not to leave.

In this way, the Xiao Jiajun will inevitably be weak, and they are about to fight alone and face the entire Communist Party.

He glanced at the agreement in Changqin's hand a few times, and after pondering for a long time, he suddenly realized that this matter was not necessarily all bad. At least in this way, the land and people of the Gonggong Country, as well as their property, will belong to his Nine Shadows Kingdom.

And if Changqin obtains the throne because of this, it will be even more beneficial to the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Once the Gonggong Kingdom is annexed, Zhurong Kingdom, a solid ally, will become the western barrier of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

And if you take 10,000 steps back and say that Zhu Rong's death is really related to Wu Hui, then Changqin will definitely not sit idly by; at that time, Zhu Rong's country will definitely be in civil strife, and the weakening of national strength is inevitable, and naturally, Wu Hui will not have the heart to deal with himself again.

"Prince, please mourn. Thinking of this, Xiao Shizhu hurriedly and quietly settled down, and then showed a sad look on his face, with a little tears in his eyes, slowly stretched out his hand to take the agreement, and said after a pause: "I will accept the agreement first, if there are any opportunities for cooperation in the future, I hope that our two countries can continue to cooperate sincerely." ”。

After a pause, he added, "When the war here is over, I will definitely go to your country in person to offer incense to the Fire King." ”。

"The King of the Nine Shadows really values love and righteousness. Sure enough, Changqin was greatly moved by his heartfelt performance, and said in a trembling voice: "I will leave you five thousand clansmen for your disposal." ”。

、

"Thank you very much. Xiao Shizhu was not polite, but secretly rolled his eyes, and had a plan, saying, "Can you leave me your army's tent too, plus your hundred military flags." ”。

"Okay. Although Changqin didn't know what he wanted these for, what he wanted was not something valuable, and Changqin was also like an arrow, so he didn't bother to investigate it deeply, and he didn't want to take a sip.

As he was talking, Xiao Shizhu's messenger came running from a distance, handed him a letter, and turned to leave.

Xiao Shizhu took the letter, so he didn't rush to open it and read it carefully, but said to Changqin first: "Without further ado, if the prince wants to leave, it is better to retreat quietly under the cover of night." ”。

"Then you and I will leave it at that. Changqin, who was grateful, nodded his head and said, "I will leave you all the things you want." Then, he turned and left.

"Ordered every soldier in the Xiao family's army not to be silent when they saw that there was a change in Zhu Rongjun's army, and they must pretend that they didn't see anything, let alone approach their camp. ”。 After seeing Changqin leave, Xiao Shizhu hurriedly said to King Kong who was following him left and right: "As soon as Changqin and his Zhurong army withdraw, you immediately take some sergeants who are familiar with the arrangement of the organ and go to the camp and tent where they left to set traps. ”。

After speaking, he turned and walked towards his big tent.

After arriving at the big tent, Xiao Shizhu retreated left and right, and after sitting on the throne, he slowly opened the envelope in his hand, and unfolded the letter with the help of the lamp and candle in his hand.

But he didn't read a few lines, his face that gradually became gloomy became a little pale, and his wide eyes showed an incredible color. The hand holding the letter trembled involuntarily. Five fingers loosened, and the letter fell from his hand.

This letter was sent back by Hu, and the content on it was probably that after ten days of hard fighting, the defense of Tiantong City on the side of Zhentou County has basically ended. The Nine Hidden Kingdom successfully resisted the invasion of the Gonggong, killing nearly 60,000 enemies and capturing more than 40,000 people.

Although the Nine Shadows Kingdom has created another miracle of winning more with less, it has also paid a painful price. Nearly 4,000 soldiers in Tiantong City were killed and wounded, and more than 1,000 militiamen were killed or wounded, and even Wu Zhiqi died heroically in this battle.

It was Wu Zhiqi's sacrifice that shocked Xiao Shizhu, he was stunned for a while, unable to accept this fact, suddenly feeling tightness in his chest and having some difficulty breathing.

This thousand-year-old monkey demon who claims to be the master of the sea, since he surrendered to him, has no regrets before and after the saddle, and every time he fights, he will take the lead and make great contributions to his Nine Shadows Country.

Suddenly receiving the news of the monkey's death was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made Xiao Shizhu, who had always been calm and calm, suddenly a little overwhelmed.

"Isn't he a tyrant of the sea? How could he die?" Xiao Shizhu, who was a little stunned, muttered softly, the color of grief appeared on his face, and his reddened eyes slowly moistened.

"I broke one of my generals, and I broke one of my generals. Xiao Shizhu, who was in his liver and spleen, stared at the letter that was gradually lying on the ground at his feet, his right hand clenched into a fist, and he slammed the armrests of the table and chair fiercely, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

Fate is like this to make people, even ghosts do not let go; just after experiencing the disadvantage of Changqin to withdraw his troops, Xiao Shizhu received Wu Zhiqi's death notice.

Although he knows very well that any war is without exception with death, and the man does not flick when he has tears, the fact that Wu Zhiqi died suddenly still gave him a big blow.

After that, he was heartbroken, regardless of the image of the commander, and burst into tears, in order to vent the grief in his chest.

King Kong and Lu Wu were about to go to the big tent to report the situation to him, and when they arrived at the door, they heard sobs coming from the big tent.

As soon as they entered the big tent, Lu Wu and King Kong's faces changed greatly.

They had been following Xiao Shizhu for a long time, but it was the first time they had seen this man who was always calm and calm, like a child who had lost a toy and was wronged, sitting on a chair with red eyes, trembling with sobbing.

After Lu Wu and King Kong looked at each other for a short time, they both saw the panic in each other's eyes, and they hurriedly turned their heads to look at Xiao Shizhu, and said in unison, "King, what's wrong with you?"

"Wu Zhiqi, Wu Zhiqi. Hearing this, Xiao Shizhu relieved himself a little, snorted suddenly, squeezed the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, tried his best to suppress the grief in his heart and the trembling of his body, and said sadly: "He, he sacrificed." ”。

"Huh?" King Kong and Lu Wu exclaimed in unison, slowly staring at Xiao Shizhu with wide eyes, and at the same time, these words also shocked them into silence for a while.

Since Wu Zhiqi joined the Nine Shadows Kingdom, he has been polite to everyone, and he has already been in a relationship with Lu Wu King Kong and other generals. At this time, he passed away suddenly, and Lu Wu and King Kong were stunned when they heard this, and they were also saddened, and they didn't know what to say.

The air in the big tent was full of sorrow.

"He died to defend Tiantong City, and he was a hero who fought for the Nine Shadows Kingdom. After a while, Xiao Shizhu had stopped sobbing, gritted his teeth and said, "Let Qin Yuan prepare for the air attack, and start to raid Yingzhu City when the rooster crows." ”。

"With the orders of the ghosts in Yingzhu City, pay tribute to Wu Zhiqi!" After saying this, Xiao Shizhu raised his hand and wiped the tears on his face, and in an instant, all that was left in his eyes was resentment.

"Yes. Lu Wu and King Kong, who were originally military generals, were very clumsy, and they didn't know how to comfort him, so they had to say: "The King's Day is mourning." After that, they all withdrew with sorrow.

Just as they walked behind the big tent gate, Xiao Shizhu behind them suddenly said, "Go and bring Julong to see me." ”......

Dongyizhou, on the Plain of the Hidden Gods.

After taking over the command, King Qin Guang accepted Gong Mingyi's suggestion, and not only transferred a large number of Tengu to defend the military camp, but also transferred a cavalry with Qi Qi as his mount.

Qi Qi, a beast soul that looks like a tiger and is the size of a cow, not only has a pair of wings on his back, but also likes to eat human souls by nature, and what he loves most is the brain of human souls.

Once tamed, it obeys the rider's orders. And it has the keen five senses that a beast soul should have, and the Escape Divine Technique's Escape Divine Technique can't exert its original effect in front of it.

And under Gong Mingyi's strong suggestion, King Qin Guang allocated more artillery and * to his Xudu army, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Xudu army. The Escape God Army, who lacked firearms, was beaten and lost their armor.

In just five days, the Xudu army advanced more than a hundred miles westward into the hinterland of the plain.

At this moment, King Qin Guang stood on the command platform set up, raising his eyes and looking into the distance.

As far as his eyes could see, there was an ancient city, built between two raised hills on the plain, called the City of Hanging Stars.

This is the first barrier in the west of the capital of the Kingdom of the Gods, although there are no mountains and mountains as a barrier around, but the north and south of the city are built according to the hills, and there are many streams on the plains around it, so that the east and west sides of the city are surrounded by streams and forests.

And the hill outside the city is also built on the hill, there are many arrow towers in the city, and the foot of the mountain is also built around the mountain stone wall, making this place more easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Recently, Yin Lingzi, the king of the god of escape, has mobilized a large number of crossbows and other weapons, and stationed here with 50,000 god troops. Therefore, this city has become the biggest obstacle for the Xudu army to attack the capital of the Hidden God Kingdom from west to east.

If this city and the enemy army in the city are not annihilated, even if the Xudu army hits the city of the dome, it will inevitably encounter an attack from the east and west.

That's why King Qin Guang will lead his army here.

Looking at the bright red and blood-like twilight, under the leadership of Chisel Tooth, the Xudu army was like a dark frenzy, constantly rushing towards the Hanging Star City, King Qin Guang asked Gong Mingyi behind him softly, "Do you still want to slaughter the city?"
