"King, do you want to give up?" Zhang Beichen suddenly became serious.

"This king just thinks that there are some things that don't need to be forced." Xiong Zhitong said.

"Ridiculous!" Zhang Beichen suddenly scolded, which confused Xiong Zhitong: "You are the king? ”

Zhang Beichen continued: "King, you just feel that your cultivation will not recover, even if you fight, you don't have the invincible strength in the world, you are afraid of failure, you are afraid of being ridiculed, right?" ”

"Nonsense, how can this king be afraid?" Xiong Zhitong was already a little flustered.

"You're just scared!" Zhang Beichen showed no mercy and continued: "When you were the king of Chu, you won all battles, and no one was intimidated by your authority!" ”

"In the war, even if you lose, you have to die on the battlefield, and you don't want to start over!"

"Do you think this is your heart of martial arts and invincible?"

"No, it's just recklessness. This is the lowest form of courage! ”

"True courage is to be able to face failure calmly, face setbacks, and have high morale in the face of adversity, be indomitable, and become more and more courageous!"

"Heaven will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and do what they do, so they are motivated to endure and benefit what they cannot."

"You are experiencing a setback now, and you want to escape, it is a coward! Is your martial heart firm? Is your kingly heart firm? ”

Xiong Zhitong was completely stunned by Zhang Beichen's scolding with a slap on his head and face, if it was before, others dared to speak to her like this, she would definitely kill the other party with one shot!

And now, whether she has this ability or not is one thing, the main thing is that she actually thinks that what Zhang Beichen said is right!

During this time of losing her strength, she often had thoughts of self-termination!

In fact, she doesn't count on the restoration of the country. Without her strength, she didn't know how to restore her country.

She didn't want people to see her embarrassed.

Xiong Zhitong opened his mouth several times, but he didn't speak.

After Zhang Beichen said this, he walked out of the room and said, "Think about it, the king. If the king is willing to be a coward, the minister will leave immediately. ”

Xiong Zhitong sat alone in the room all day.

She began to recall what she had done.

She was born with divine power, and when she was born, the nine phoenixes sang in the sky, and the king of Chu thought that this woman must be extraordinary, so he asked Fan Luo, a half-saint of the military family, to be her teacher, teaching her martial arts, the art of war and the way of the emperor.

However, she only likes martial arts, and just dismisses the art of war, thinking that as long as she has great strength, she can break ten thousand laws with one force!

She did the same, as she grew up, her strength became stronger and stronger, and by the time she reached adulthood, there was no one in the Chu State who could be her opponent!

At this time, a major event happened in the state of Chu. Her father, the king, was seriously ill, and Wu Luo, who was implementing the reforms, was shot dead by the old nobles in the palace of the king of Chu.

Chu was in civil turmoil, and when she was in danger, she took the soldiers she trained with her into the palace, killed the rebels, deterred the old nobles, and ascended to the throne of the king of Chu!

After becoming the queen of Chu, she formed the Overlord Army on the basis of her personal guards, and she was invincible! The territory of Chu has greatly expanded, and it has become the premier country in the world!

All this is very smooth, and the state of Chu already has the strength to dominate the world!

Until the simulation is turned on.

Xiong Zhitong originally thought that with his own strength, he would definitely be able to conquer the world.

But she was wrong, and she failed again and again. Those weak queens can overcome her by their cunning!

After being defeated, she didn't want to make a comeback, but thought that she was not strong enough, so she died in battle every time.

Even if you surrender later, it is to challenge stronger enemies and become stronger next time!

Now, Zhang Beichen's words have shaken her beliefs.

"Could it be that this king has been running away from defeat? The king's belief is not firm, and the king wins, but he can't afford to lose? Xiong Zhitong seemed to realize that he was indeed running away.

"A truly strong person should be able to grow up in adversity and fight against fate!"

……

Until the evening, Zhang Beichen walked into the room with the food and called softly: "King, it's time to eat." ”

Xiong Zhitong looked at him, her eyes seemed to be more determined than before, and she said, "Zhang Beichen, you are right. This king did have the idea of running away before, and this is the work of a coward! ”

"Even if this king loses his cultivation, this king can return to the top! Nothing in this world can stop this king! ”

She seems to have regained the heart of a fearless and strong man!

Zhang Beichen said with a smile: "Congratulations to the king!" ”

"Zhang Beichen!" Xiong Zhitong stared at him, "No one has ever dared to accuse this king to his face, you are the first!" ”

"The minister has committed a great sin, please punish the king!" Zhang Beichen said.

"Hmph, keep your little life king first!" Xiong Zhitong said.

Her appetite also became excellent and she began to feast on it.

Since then, Xiong Zhitong began to study every day, practiced martial arts, and became stronger and stronger in physique and strategy.

At the same time, Zhang Beichen's body is getting weaker and weaker.

The passage of vitality hurt his foundation and caused his cultivation to decline rapidly.

Fifth, Fourth, Third......

[A year later, your cultivation has completely disappeared and you have become an ordinary person. 】

On this day, because of the lack of living materials, Zhang Beichen went to the town to purchase supplies.

Today's town seems to be a little unusual, and when Zhang Beichen came, he found that there were more sergeants.

"Fellow, what's going on?" Zhang Beichen asked a neighbor.

"It's Dr. Zhang." The neighbor whispered, "Hurry up and hide." I heard that the Wei State is attacking our Chu State, and the king is recruiting troops, and all the men over the age of fourteen here have been captured! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Beichen was also ready to find a place to hide.

But he was a little unlucky, and several soldiers happened to pass by and saw him.

"You, come with me!" The soldiers grabbed Zhang Beichen.

Zhang Beichen hurriedly said: "Master Jun, my doctor here, if I leave, who will treat everyone?" ”

"Yes! If Dr. Zhang leaves, we won't have any doctors here! The neighbors pleaded for Zhang Beichen.

However, the recruiter didn't care about this: "It's my business, the paperwork has been said, all of you men between the ages of fourteen and forty here are going to be taken away!" Speak again and take you away! ”

The neighbors were afraid of the soldiers and didn't dare to speak anymore, so Zhang Beichen was taken away.

……

[You waited in the house for a few days, but Zhang Beichen didn't come back. 】

Xiong Zhitong began to worry, "What's wrong with Zhang Beichen?" ”

"He's so weak, could it be that he's sick? Or was it beaten? ”

"No, this king has to go to him!"

Xiong Zhitong couldn't sit still, the entire Chu country was wanted by her, so she still dressed up in disguise and went to the town to check the situation.

[When you come to the town, you learn that Zhang Beichen has been arrested. 】

"Zhang Beichen was arrested?" Xiong Zhitong was suddenly a little worried, she never cared about the life and death of others before, but now, knowing the news that Zhang Beichen was arrested, she was suddenly a little anxious.

"The king is going to get him back...... No, calm down, calm down! Xiong Zhitong knows very well that he can only be sent to death if he goes now.

She went to inquire again, and it turned out that the soldiers who had been recruited before had been taken away.

"With the current strength of this king, there is no way to take him back, so I can only find another way." Xiong Zhitong pondered.

"This king needs help!" Xiong Zhitong thought about it for a while, in the Chu State, there are only two forces she can rely on now.

One is the Fan family, her teacher Fan Luo.

Fan Luo is a half-saint of the military family, and his strength is very good. But because of his relationship with himself, he is not trusted by the new King of Chu, so he has been at home for many days.

The other force is the Xiang family, the family of the great general Xiang Mu. The Xiang family is actually a member of the old nobles, but the strength was weak before, and after Xiong Zhitong took the throne, he supported the Xiang family to balance other old nobles.

Now Xiang Mu is still serving under the new king of Chu.

"If this king goes to find Xiang Mu, he is likely to be presented to the king of Xinchu as a gift of loyalty!" Xiong Zhitong knows very well that now that he has no invincible force in the world, it is difficult for his subordinates in the past to remain loyal to him.

"The Fan family was rejected by the new king and went into decline, this king went to find a teacher, and there is still a chance!"

Xiong Zhitong decided to go to his teacher, Fan Luo.

She packed her bags and began trekking.

Along the way, Xiong Zhitong began to try new practices. The curse of the witch god was still on her, making it impossible for her to absorb spiritual power, so she decided to use another way of cultivation.

She had seen the murals in the Nanban Temple, and the ancient Wu clan did not practice spiritual power, they refined themselves, and they also had the power to move mountains and reclaim the sea.

In this case, Xiong Zhitong also plans to refine his physical body and move towards a new path of cultivation!

She carried boulders on her back, practiced her moves, drank mountain spring water when she was thirsty, and hunted when she was hungry.

Although she has no spiritual power, relying on her powerful martial arts talent, ordinary demons dare not approach her!

Finally, after a practice, Xiong Zhitong felt that the qi and blood in his body were roaring, and it seemed that he had broken through a certain bottleneck.

"This king is back in the first realm!" She was pleasantly surprised to find that although she still had no spiritual power in her body, she had powerful qi and blood, and could burst out with the same power.

"This martial arts path, this king will continue to walk until he returns to the peak and surpasses himself!"

[You went through all the hardships and finally came to the fiefdom of the Fan family, and you met Fan Luo. 】

Fan Luo was already old and sick, and because of the disappearance of the king of Chu, he was suppressed by the new king, and he was depressed.

Seeing Xiong Zhitong, he burst into tears with excitement: "King, since the old minister heard that the king was missing, he spared no effort to find it, but he never found it. I can see the king today, and the old minister will die without regrets! ”

"Teacher, please get up!" Xiong Zhitong helped Fan Luo up and said, "Teacher, this king had to recuperate for a few years because of a serious injury, and now he has recovered. ”

"Teacher, this king wants to recruit troops again and regain the throne, is the teacher willing to help?"

When Fan Luo heard her words, he immediately agreed: "The old minister and the Fan family must do their best to assist the king of Zuo!" ”

[You stayed in the Fan family and began to secretly recruit troops and train the army. 】

……

On the other side, after Zhang Beichen was arrested, he joined the Chu army.

After a brief training, you were sent to the battlefield. 】

[You are too weak to fight, so you look for an opportunity to escape, but you are caught by the officers and want to behead you to correct military justice! 】

[You and a group of fleeing soldiers are waiting to be executed.] 】

At this time, a general was sitting in the court and watching the prisoners being executed, and he suddenly saw a person.

He stepped forward and saw Zhang Beichen, and immediately laughed and said: "Zhang Beichen, Zhang Beichen, it's really effortless to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to get them!" ”

"You've been caught by Ben!"

Zhang Beichen asked, "Who are you?" ”

"The Prime Minister is really a noble person, how forgetful!" The general sneered, "Back then, I was dismissed and dismissed by you because I opposed the change of law in the court!" ”

"Now, I'm a general, and you're a prisoner of the ranks, Zhang Beichen, how does this feel?"

Zhang Beichen said suddenly: "The villain is just ambitious." ”

"The villain's ambition?" The general said with a cold face, "The king has a reward for your head, a thousand gold, and a seal of ten thousand households!" ”

"If I catch you, it's worth killing 30,000 enemy troops!"

[You were loaded into a prisoner car, sent to Yingcheng, and imprisoned in a prison. 】

……

In the prison, the patriarchs of the Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans came to interrogate Zhang Beichen at the same time.

"Zhang Beichen, don't come unharmed!" Zhao Xi smiled.

"Have you ever thought you're where you are today?" Qu Li said proudly.

"Come on, where is Xiong Zhitong?" Jing Cheng asked.

"She's dead!" Zhang Beichen said, "She was already seriously ill that year, and I treated her to no avail, and she had already died." ”

"Sick and dead?" The three looked at each other, but none of them believed it. After all, Xiong Zhitong's oppression against them before was too strong, how could he die of illness if he was the strongest man in the world?

"To live to see people, to die to see corpses!" Zhao Xi said, "Zhang Beichen, you don't want to be tortured, do you?" As long as you take us to find her body, you will be spared the scourge of prison and the pain of flesh and skin! ”

"How can I find this?" Zhang Beichen said, "Back then, you chased so tightly that I didn't even have a chance to breathe." ”

】

"After the king of Chu died of illness, maybe the corpse was eaten by the beast mountain monster!"

"Impossible!" Qu Li didn't believe it at all, "She couldn't have died so easily!" ”

"Yes, Zhang Beichen, if you don't tell the truth, don't blame us for being ruthless!" Jing Cheng's face was gloomy.

"I have told the truth, but you do not believe." Zhang Beichen shook his head and said.

"Come on, punish him!" Zhao Xi ordered.

[The old nobles tortured you, but you always insisted that the king of Chu was dead, which made them have no choice, in order to vent their hatred, they locked you in a prison and tortured you day and night. 】

……

[Three years later.] 】

The Fan family, Xiong Zhitong has cultivated martial arts to the ninth realm, and she has also trained an elite army.

"Good news, King!" Fan Luo reported the military situation to her, "The Chu army has not fought the Wei army, they have killed more than 100,000 people and lost more than a dozen cities. Now there is chaos in the country, and everyone is not convinced by the new king! ”

"Your Majesty, this is the time for us to start an incident!"

Xiong Zhitong asked again: "What about Zhang Beichen?" Is there any news from Zhang Beichen? ”

At the mention of this, Fan Luo seemed to be a little hesitant.

"Teacher, let's talk!" Xiong Zhitong said.

"According to the informants in the palace, they caught Zhang Beichen and are now locked up in a prison!" Fan Luo said.
