The sky was bright.

In the palace of the king of Chu, Xiong Zhen wore a pitch-black armor, a long sword at his waist, and led a group of stubborn guards to enter the palace where his mother Meng Huan was located.

When Meng Huan saw such a bear, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"What are you doing, my lord?"

Meng Huan asked puzzled.

"Queen Mother, the palace can't be guarded at the moment, please go hunting with the widow."

It is said that it is "West Hunting", but in fact, Xiong Zhen just wants to escape.

Nishikari is just an elegant name!

In other words, Xiong Zhen wanted to flee to the west of the Chu State to temporarily avoid the edge of the Wu army.

When Meng Huan heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Great King, why did you abandon your subjects and the national capital and ignore it?" ”

There is no mistake

"The palace city is not broken, and the soldiers of the Chu State are still willing to fight bloodily for the king and for the Chu State. How could the king ignore them and flee to another land in order to survive! ”

Meng Huan was very angry.

But Xiong Zhen seemed to have made up his mind, and gritted his teeth and said: "Queen Mother, these widows you said understand it!" However, if people do not do it for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed! ”

"Now that Yingdu has been broken, it is not yet known whether the palace can be defended, and whether the army of King Qin who guards the front line can arrive. The widow is the rise and fall of the Chu State, and he must not take this risk! ”

"You're ridiculous!"

Meng Huan glared at her beautiful eyes, and said angrily at Xiong Zhen: "King, how can you be so selfish? The king is dead, and the heroes are also, as you are now, abandoning the city and fleeing, who will be willing to die for you and the state of Chu? ”

"King, you have taken King Chu Zhuang as a model since you were a child, but what you do today can have the appearance of King Zhuang?"

"There are only monarchs in the state of Chu who died in battle, and there are no monarchs who fled without a fight!"

"When you were as old as you, King Wu Qingji had already been born and died, and he fought back to Wu from the Central Plains and regained his own throne!"

"Now you, how can you compare to Qingji?"

"Yes! The queen mother, the widow is not as good as Qingji! ”

Xiong Zhen was ashamed, but also extremely annoyed, glaring at Meng Huan and shouting: "He is your lover, you naturally think about his good!" ”

"Now, it's Qingji, it's Wu Guo, it's your lover who led the army to fight and want to destroy my Chu State!"

"How can a widow sit still and die?"

"Queen Mother, the widow thinks what you said before is right. As long as the widow is still alive, the state of Chu will not perish! ”

After a pause, Xiong Zhen looked at the heartbroken Meng Huan in front of him, and couldn't help but soften, stretched out his palm towards her, and said slowly: "Queen Mother, let's go with my son." ”

"The Great Chu State will not perish here, the widows will definitely be able to regroup, and they will soon be defeated back to Yingdu and drive the Wu people out of the territory of the Chu State! Reconquest! ”

Xiong Zhen's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, but how could Meng Huan not understand his character?

At this time, Xiong Zhen can even do something to escape without a fight!

Meng Huan glanced at Xiong Zhen, who had become a little strange, covered her heart, and couldn't help but say with tears in her eyes: "King, why have you become so greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”

"The queen mother has given birth to you for twenty-one years, can't she still train you to be a qualified king?"

Hearing this, Xiong Zhen's face stiffened, and he immediately lowered his head and said, "Queen Mother, why don't you understand?" Today's bears are no longer the bears of the past! ”

"The widow cannot take this risk. Once the palace is breached, what will happen to those who are waiting for the widows? ”

"With the character of Qingji's hypocrisy and hypocrisy, he may not kill me, but he will put me under house arrest for the rest of his life, or exile him to a remote Lingnan land. Rather than that, the widow would rather cut himself! ”

So why can't you choose to cut yourself?

Meng Huan did not declare this sentence.

After all, Xiong Zhen is her son, her flesh and blood.

How could Meng Huan watch her son Xiong Zhen die in front of him?

"Alas!"

In the end, Meng Huan still sighed and said, "Zhen'er, you can go by yourself." The queen mother wants to stay here, and the Wu people dare not offend the queen mother. ”

Hearing this, Xiong Zhen's face was a little uncertain, but he still respected his mother's choice.

Xiong Zhen immediately lifted his battle skirt, knelt on the floor, kowtowed to Meng Huan, and said with tears in his eyes: "Queen Mother, please forgive your sons for being unfilial!" ”

"This farewell, you and my mother and son may never see each other again! Please take care of the queen mother, and the sons will go! ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiong Zhen stood up and walked towards the outside of the dormitory.

Looking at Xiong Zhen's back as he walked away, Meng Huan couldn't help but cover her small mouth and burst into tears.

Mother and son, Meng Huan and Xiong Zhen depend on each other, and the relationship is not ordinarily good.

It's just that this time Meng Huan can't escape with Xiong Zhen.

Not to mention whether he would encounter danger, Meng Huan wanted to stay in the palace of Chu and wait for the man he had been thinking about for a long time to come over and pick him up.

In the first half of her life, she paid a lot for Xiong Zhen and the Chu State, and in the second half of her life, Meng Huan just wanted to live for herself.

……

"Kill!"

At dawn.

Inside and outside the palace of the King of Chu, shouts of killing rose to the sky.

I saw a group of stubborn armor soldiers, riding a chariot or on foot, out of the palace, and went straight to the direction of the city gate to kill.

Sun Wu, who was extremely nervous, did not fall asleep, and at the moment when the shouting of killing appeared, Sun Wu woke up from the private house on one side for the first time.

"What's going on?"

"Newspaper—"

A junior colonel hurriedly entered and shouted loudly: "Da Sima, someone in the palace of the king of Chu has come out." No less than hundreds! ”

"Not good!"

Sun Wu reacted, immediately picked up the saber placed at the head of the bed, frowned, and said, "It's the King of Chu who wants to escape!" Order, at all costs, be sure to capture the king of Chu alive! ”

"No!"

Like Sun Wu, even the soldiers of the Wu army who did not have the task of standing guard did not dare to go to sleep, nor did they unload their arms, which could ensure that in the event of an accident, they could react at any time.

As for why Sun Wu only ordered the capture of Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, the reason is very simple.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was ominous for the king to see blood.

If this is placed in the past, the average soldier on the battlefield is not qualified to kill the king of a country, or he is not qualified to fight him.

If you dare to attack the monarch, even if you capture and kill the enemy's monarch, I am afraid that after the war, you will inevitably be punished.

For the state of Wu, a living Chu king Xiong Zhen is more valuable than a dead Chu king Xiong Zhen.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Whoosh!"

The rain of arrows in the sky was like locusts crossing the border, and they quickly shot towards the Chu State guards who had been killed in the palace.

"Poof!"

"Ahh

The guards of the Chu State, who were unable to defend themselves, were shot by random arrows one after another, and then fell into a pool of blood and died of anger.

At this moment, Xiong Zhen stood on top of the chariot, watching the arrows flying from his side with fear.

If it weren't for the guards on one side who sacrificed their lives and raised their shields to block him, I'm afraid Xiong Zhen would have been shot by random arrows and died!
