Chapter 10: The Imperial Capital

"It's time to go. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Ji Xiaotian looked at his tired companions and said weakly.

After a battle with the mutated savage prisoners, only a few hundred or so remained.

Shi Junjie looked at the corpses in one place, as if the world was quiet, and only woke up when he heard Ji Xiaotian's clear words.

The soldiers who died three or four miles outside the city gate might be buried by the fortune wolf or the common people passing by the next day.

"Let's go. Shi Junjie also whispered, this battle consumed too much energy.

The heavy rain in the sky seems to be the heavens have been wronged, and the tears falling are rapid, but they do not lose the rhythm.

The voice in Shi Junjie's head reappeared in his memory, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

All the way is a small road, they dare not take the big road, because the target is too big, easy to be discovered, and then there is danger, I am afraid it will be difficult to parry, overnight rush plus after being washed by the rain, heavy muddy water, increased the difficulty of moving forward.

"Why don't you rest?" asked Qing Ruoxi puzzled, An Dao was very physically exhausted to travel overnight.

"It is impossible for the mutated savage prisoner to escape far, to rest in place, but to move on and ensure safety. Ji Xiaotian's pale face didn't have any expression, and the rain drained down his cheeks and fell on the muddy ground.

Qing Ruoxi nodded as if she didn't understand whether she understood or not, and walked forward step by step with difficulty in her arms.

The soldiers who followed behind were already exhausted, and a few fell, and if this continues, I am afraid that more will fall, and the situation is very serious.

Shi Junjie is at the end of the team, he wants to ensure that everyone is in the team, it is a terrible thing to be separated, in this wilderness where there are no people, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to find a way.

"It's time to rest, the danger is away, they need to rest. Shi Junjie accelerated to the front row and said to Ji Xiaotian.

After receiving permission, the soldiers set up tents and hid in groups of three or five to rest, they did not dare to sleep, for fear that the mutated savage prisoner was still lurking around, and the moment they closed their eyes, they lost their precious lives.

"It's not far from the imperial capital, and it will be a day's journey away. Ji Xiaotian was familiar with all the paths to the capital of Lingbei Kingdom, and he had more than once surveyed the places near the imperial capital that could march and made complete preparations.

"Brother Xiaotian, my father has been guarding the imperial capital for more than ten days, I'm worried, worried..."

Ji Xiaotian didn't let Qing Ruoxi continue, covering her mouth with one hand, stretching out her index finger with the other, leaning against her mouth, and gently shushing, telling her not to think about it, that kind of thing wouldn't happen.

Shi Junjie was in the tent and watched the sparse rain outside.

It's smaller, he thought.

In the eastern sky, there was a touch of silver-white, as bright as a whale's belly.

It was dawn, and the adjusted team re-embarked on the voyage to the imperial capital.

............

"It's almost there!" Ji Xiaotian suppressed the excitement of the inner line, and in half an hour, he was about to arrive at the capital of Lingbei Kingdom.

After a long day's journey, we finally arrived at our destination, and the closer we got to the imperial capital, we could find that the nearby villages were becoming more and more luxurious, but the residents had already moved away, and they were too close to the battlefield to be easily attacked, so they had to move away from their hometowns and return to their hometowns when the war was over.

There were no signs of enemy troops along the road, could it be that the troops had retreated?

Shi Junjie speculated puzzledly, obviously this speculation was wrong, how could they give up seizing the imperial capital, and then control the Lingbei Kingdom, and then control the common people, let them go to the mines to do hard labor, and even die of exhaustion in the mines.

The split coalition forces, after many mutual wars, only one army remains, and they will have a chance to control the Lingbei country, provided that reinforcements from other separatist forces do not arrive so quickly.

Half an hour's journey is coming to an end, and now you can see the capital of Lingbei at a glance!

The towering city wall has been baptized by the fire of war, and the devastation is black, losing the luxury of the royal family, revealing a strong morale.

"The imperial capital is in front of us, it seems that the coalition forces have not continued to attack the imperial capital, my uncle is safe for the time being, we need to see him immediately, so as not to have too many dreams at night. Ji Xiaotian looked at the towering city gate, and his heart suddenly surged, it was he who eradicated the tyrant who had ruled for thirty years and planned a shocking conspiracy to seize power.

The guards outside the city gate looked around vigilantly, and if there was any disturbance, they had to report it immediately, and they could not be negligent at all.

Although it was the middle of the night, the guards did not complain, because they were guarding their own home!

"Token!" Qing Ruoxi took out Shangshu's token and showed it to the guards.

"I'll report it!"

In the middle of the night, an old man walked out of the city gate, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, staring at Qing Ruoxi and Ji Xiaotian, and it took a long time to speak!

"Nephew, come into the city!" the old man hurriedly welcomed everyone in, and after closing the city gate, the old man was about to sweep the surroundings and asked, "That's all left?"

"The little nephew was careless, and he was successfully attacked by the coalition army! Ji Xiaotian blamed himself.

"It's good to come back safely, this emperor is our last hope, the coalition army has attacked the city no less than ten times, if it weren't for the perfect defense system in the city, I'm afraid it would have been explained a long time ago, they saw that they couldn't successfully attack the city for a while, and began to consume it, the food in the city is indeed insufficient, if they don't want to find a way, maybe they can win without a fight." ”

They don't know anything about the split of the coalition forces outside, and if they knew one or two, it might be completely different.

"Uncle, don't you think it's strange?, all of us, it's conspicuous enough, why did you let us in, is there any trick?" Ji Xiaotian felt that there must be something strange about being able to enter the city so easily.

"Catch turtles in the urn!" Shi Junjie suddenly blurted out.

"What does it mean to catch a turtle in an urn?" the old man looked at Shi Junjie with strange eyes and said suspiciously.

It turns out that there is no such thing as Sun Tzu's Art of War in this world, which may be a good thing, and you can make a fuss about it!

"The so-called catching turtles in the urn means catching the king from the big jar. The metaphor is that the object you want to capture is already under control, and it is easy and sure that they will be able to capture us, and in combination with the current form, they will trap us in this imperial capital and starve us to death!"

Shi Junjie said a word, Shang Shu hurriedly saluted him back, to find a way to solve the food problem, but he didn't know that the separatist forces outside were just pretending to be repaired, they needed to fight quickly, if other separatist forces rushed over again, I am afraid it would be a melee.
