Chapter Thirty-Six: The Sword Comes West
Escaping Si Qin Ying quickly whipped his horse, and almost immediately ran to the palace and asked to see his sister, Si Qinning.
tells the possibility that Li Zhurong is preparing to surrender and rebel, especially the one-eyed Feng Qingshan entered the room of the right general Li Zhurong and did not appear for a long time.
"Based on this alone, you conclude that Li Zhurong is the opposite?" Si Qinning hated this kind of chasing after the wind and shadows, because she had been framed more than once.
Of course, it was she who thought she was framed, but it was actually an example similar to Yao Zongwen, she felt that she was framed.
"Second sister, I'd rather believe what I have, not believe what I don't, get ready, whether Li Zhurong is the other or not, we must resolutely protect the capital and wait for my brother-in-law to come back."
Siqin Yingming has learned about Zhuang Xun's family history, Siqin Mi's death is inseparable from the defection of Si Qin's family, as Zhuang Xun who has been favored by Si Qinmi, he will not treat Si Qin's family anyway, on the contrary, Nie Jin, who loves Si Qinning, is moody, but as soon as Si Qinning said it, he mentioned himself as a striker, which is regarded as an importance.
"That's what you said, I'll go and discuss with the eunuchs, close the capital, and wait for Nie Jin and him to come back." Si Qinning also felt that Si Qinying was right, and immediately made a decision.
And Xu Houde, the eunuch of the palm print, knew that Zhuang Xun had called, and as soon as Si Qinning said that Li Zhurong might surrender, he immediately turned the possibility into yes, and the grain and grass were not supplied, he was the one who was most afraid of Zhuang Xun, and together with Si Qinning, he ordered the city gate to be closed tightly and not allowed to enter or exit.
Li Zhurong saw that he couldn't wash it at all, so he simply voted, Zhuang Xun accepted it inexplicably, and repaired for another three or four days, and received the news that Li Ruxi rushed into battle to defeat the family coalition army, and his heart was completely settled.
Concentrate on preparing to attack the fortified city of the capital, there are not many defenders in the city, it is possible to storm and take this city, but it is not easy to take.
"Do you guys have any ideas?" Zhuang Xun sat at the table, and on the left and right were the generals in the army, including a group of people from Shangliangshan.
"The capital is high, the food is sufficient, there is a rush from the king outside, you need to win quickly, simply prepare siege equipment, and immediately attack the city." He Heng's proposal is the most radical style of play, and it is also the most orthodox.
"The people of the capital have been suffering for a long time, and they have been lobbyists for a long time, and they went to persuade the defenders to surrender." This time it was the turn of the second leader of Shangliang Mountain, the middle-aged Confucian Yu Shaoshi.
"But be sure, don't let your life go in vain." Zhuang Xun felt that the other party had already suffered the loss of a lobbyist once, and he should not eat it again.
"I'm not sure, but Shao Shi didn't make an inch of merit under the account of the Guogong, and petitioned to protect the Guogong to take the capital." Yu Shaoshi knelt down solemnly.
"It doesn't have to be like this, it's a joke about your own life, you can't do this kind of thing without big certainty." Zhuang Xun is not an opportunist, nor is he the kind of character who casually lets people die.
"Lang Jun, just let Staff Officer Yu try, if it succeeds, it can also reduce the casualties of soldiers and civilians." Si Qinmi persuaded on the side.
"Well, then I'll be tired of the rest of the staff." Zhuang Xun obeyed Si Qinmi's words, and as soon as Siqin Mi persuaded him, he no longer insisted.
Everyone is used to this situation, looking at the mouth and nose, generally speaking, they will despise Zhuang Xun, but Zhuang Xun listens to Siqin Mi, who is virtuous and understands politics, so it is different, what a sage monarch.
"Humble duty must not fail in the mission." Yu Shaoshi solemnly promised, if he is not sure, he will die.
It's just that Zhuang Xun didn't expect that in the morning, people put it in with a hanging basket, and the city gate opened in the afternoon, and he himself was still a little dreamy, and the bandits in Shangliang Mountain could still be of such use, which he couldn't imagine.
The counselor who defended the city was a distant relative of Yu Shaoshi's fellow sect, and clarified two truths, first, if you don't surrender, then you must fight, and now there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city, and it is a matter of time to break through the capital. Second, Zhuang Xun is a benevolent gentleman, and King Youwang is a tyrant without reason, is it worth defending the city for such a tyrant?
Not to mention that he couldn't keep it in the first place, what if he kept it, King Youwang was nepotistic, only close to those demon clans who did evil, no matter how great your heavenly merit was, when he was unhappy, his own relatives would be killed.
The truth is very shallow, sometimes people just lack a reason, Yu Shaoshi just gave a reason, everyone voted, everyone voted, and they lived well.
And for the sake of mobility and camouflage, most of the generals disguised by the monsters were drawn to the south by the Youwang, because against the army shrouded in foreign luck, and they couldn't use the demon method, so naturally all people were left.
Without the coercion of monsters, once the idea of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages occupies the mind, the so-called thinking is just thinking about the way back.
Nie Jin didn't expect that he planned to use the elite to meet the rabble army led by Zhuang Xun, and in the end he ended up with no loss or victory, and he didn't expect that Li Zhurong would surrender because he was afraid of him.
Three or four years ago, Youguo was still the country of destiny in Jizhou, and Jizhou was shocked, but in just a few years, it has been separated from Germany, and it is no longer as strong as it was at the beginning, which may not have been expected by anyone.
Even if someone objected, in the end, they could only end up with the head being beheaded, noisy and noisy, and the last thing to offer was the head of Siqin Yingming.
"The rebel general Siqin Yingming is the head, that is, this person has always opposed the opening of the city gate, welcoming the king, relying on his sister is the queen, pointing fingers, this kind of glorious thing, how can this kind of eagle dog put his beak?"
The general held his head high with his eyes wide open, and Si Qin Yingming showed that he didn't understand how he died until he died, or couldn't believe that this person dared to kill him.
"What about the pianists?" Si Qinmi stood next to Zhuang Xun and took the initiative to ask, just habitually asking, because it was someone who had something to do with her, and there was no feeling of the rabbit dying and the fox being sad at all, where would a person who had died once have this kind of feeling.
"It has been connected to the royal city, and the royal city is currently held by the palace guards, and there is no surrender." The general replied, with a low head, knowing that the ugly woman in front of him was Zhuang Xun's wife.
Zhuang Xun took the initiative to take her hand, thinking that she was sad and sad, and scratched her palm.
"The concubine is fine." Si Qinmi smiled at Zhuang Xun, and the vignette did not affect them to continue attacking.
The army marched into the city.
Prepare to destroy the temple and cut off the dragon vein, and then the luck of the Youguo will decline greatly, and it will become the state of Yu Kingdom, where the country is not dispersed, and the luck is dispersed first.
Next, we will study how to capture the royal city and completely occupy the main capital, so that we can cut off the connection between the north and the south, cut off the grain and grass of the army of the northern Youguo, and encircle the Youwang Nie Jin in the south.
The palace guard guards, it shouldn't be as easy as the outer city, two successive successes make Zhuang Xun incomprehensible, how can this secluded country be more Siqin Shengjing than Siqin Shengjing, and the whole body has anti-bones?
His eyes looked at Yao Zongwen, who turned out to be the palace guard, Yao Zongwen also noticed Zhuang Xun's gaze, and stood up and took the initiative to ask for help, he completed such an exciting feat and destroyed the Youguo.
His colleagues, many of whom, like him, have been palace guards in Youguo for generations, and his experience will surely arouse the indignation of these court guards, so that they can abandon the darkness and turn to the light.
"I wish to surrender in front of the palace."
"Good ......"
The most worry-free way, he has some experience of Liu Bang's refreshing feeling all the way to Xianyang, and he can gain territory and occupy the city with his mouth, and have a smooth ride.
"Colleagues, do you remember the Yao family?" Generously showing his face, under the city walls, in the range of arrows.
"It's Yao Guard, you actually betrayed the royal family, have you forgotten the matter of eating the king's Lu and being loyal to the king?" Xu Houde was supervising the battle on the city wall, and when he saw this situation, he was anxious to cry out in his heart.
"My Yao family is loyal, serving the country for generations, the king of you is violent, feeding my Yao family to the mouth of the demon beast for no reason, the female relatives are humiliated in every way, I am lucky to escape, and now I respect the king to conquer the tyrant, please think about it."
The palace guards looked at each other, and the appearance was indeed shocking.
"Guards, generals, this person tried to seduce the queen, and fled after being discovered, don't listen to one side of the story!" Xu Houde said loudly that he didn't care about the queen's reputation, and when the palace was breached, the queen would die.
"Commander Zhang, what did Wang Zuo say, the whole family disappeared, fell into the demon cave, the man died in the mouth of the demon beast, the woman was humiliated and blasphemed, and the loyal person who served the country ended up like this? You are guarding here, do you know that you and other families will not lose their lives and be desecrated by demons? Is this the kingdom of men or the kingdom of demons? ”
The sound of approaching the shout shouted out the dissatisfaction buried in the hearts of countless people, and the betrayal of loyalty was instantaneous.
"These are people who have made their own mistakes, you eat royal money, you have been loyal to the royal family for generations, don't make mistakes."
These two of them are against Nie Jin who chose to resign and stay at home, and Xu Houde has no choice but to wash, neither of them has made any mistakes, so he can only use slogans to strengthen these people.
"If you can climb so fast, you have to frame others." The position of the palace guards wavered, and suddenly some of them said, and then the entire palace guards looked at Xu Houde differently.
"This smiling tiger listens to the eunuchs, the most insidious and cunning, we listen to him? Will he be sold. "Some people say that it comes from the palace guard and I don't know who it is?
"Are you going to rebel? You want to go to the Demon Cave too? There is no corpse of the man in the family, and the woman is being played with? "Don't choose to speak, Xu Houde himself is not calm, he is fierce and timid.
At this time, Yao Zongwen's words were basically judged to be true, and many people were shocked, and there were vague rumors, and there was a gap between them and the bright and honest in front of them.
Xu Houde's expression became more and more frightened, because he was about to follow in the footsteps of Siqin Yingming, just an outsider, pointing fingers here, who are you.
At the critical moment, a black oppressive dark cloud was swept by the black wind, and a young man stood out from the black cloud in a black dragon robe, it was Nie Jin, the king of the dark clouds.
"I want to see which of you dares to surrender!" The demon wind blew loudly, blowing the soldiers outside the palace city to the ground, and the voice of the king of Youwang was like a broken drum in the wind, hoarse and terrifying.
He landed on the city tower, staring at everyone under the city tower, the black qi on his body surged, and he looked like the murderous scene of the demon king of the mixed world.
Reaching out and grabbing it, he broke the neck of the palace guard commander, shocking almost all the palace guards, and many people showed a look of fear in the face of the demonic King You.
This kind of demonic tyrant, who is not full of fear and surrender, after all, manpower is no match for demon power, and even the expressions of Li Zhurong and others showed sincere horror.
"Your Majesty, you can be regarded as coming back, if you don't come back, the villain doesn't know what to do, these heavenly palace guards actually want to rebel, it's really bold, want to rebel, the emperor killed them, kill these traitors."
Xu Houde was incoherent, kneeling in front of Nie Jin and accusing the court guard who was not determined just now, he was so frightened just now that he almost thought he was going to die.
"Bang!" Xu Houde was like a kite with a broken string, and was kicked in front of Zhuang Xunyi and the others by King You.
"Noise." The demonic spirit is overflowing, and the evil demon god is dressed in fluttering clothes.
Vomiting blood foam, his face was frightened, Xu Houde felt that his life was being lost, and he was afraid of Nie Jin on the city tower in disbelief, he was like a dog, barked twice, and the owner kicked him to death when he was unhappy.
He looked like Siqin Yingming's head, swayed twice, and saw Zhuang Xun who was close at hand, and the vicious hatred in his eyes never left until he lost his breath.
"Even if you become a country, you Yu Guo's thin luck dares to stop me?" Nie Jin said disdainfully, his tone was very light, and everyone heard it clearly.
And there was an ominous premonition, and the thousands of bird demons behind the ghost king were also really terrifying, large and small, covering the sky and the sun.
"Above, kill these things that don't know whether they are alive or dead......" With the words of King You, a large number of demon beasts of the bird clan rushed towards Zhuang Xun's army.
Li Zhurong, these generals, was even more paralyzed and wanted to kneel, these fierce and vicious strange birds gave them too deep a memory.
However, the cold light was highlighted, the spell was haloed, and the fierce and vicious strange birds were shattered by one magic weapon after another, leaving only the normal crow corpses.
"Bold and wicked, dare to commit murder here!" Seven or eight Dao-robed monks stepped out of the air, the magic trick in their hands vibrating, and the demons were strangled.
"What are these?" Zhuang asked Xiang Jung, thinking that he was going to make a move.
"Cultivators who practice in the hidden world, such demons are rampant in the hidden country, they have come to kill demons and make meritorious contributions, these demons usually pretend to be humans, and they have dynastic luck, and the cultivators can't help them, but once the demon body is revealed, it means that they are free from the blindness of the dynasty's luck, and the cultivators can take action against them." He Jungs explained the current situation, and Zhuang Xun nodded as if he didn't understand.
"Dirt Chicken Tile Dog." The Youwang stretched out his hand, and a cyan flame burned towards the cultivators.
The cultivators dodged the green fire like a snake and scorpion, and the division of labor was obvious, a few people attracted firepower, and a few people held magic weapons, and attacked directly towards Nie Jin.
The sky has become their battlefield, the performance field, the brilliant spells are eye-catching, Zhuang Xun and his group have become spectators, everyone knows the victory and defeat above, and determines the victory or defeat below.
Nie Jin dodged, but with one enemy and many enemies, there was always a gap.
The two rays of light were as bright as the moon, and when the Youwang was not paying attention, they attacked his body at the same time, and the fast mortals could not see it clearly, but several cultivators showed expressions of relief.
With a strong force, the two cultivators who attacked were bounced away, slamming them on the ground and unable to move.
"How can you still have dynasty luck on you, you have used so many demon methods." The two monks flew down and picked up the immobile monk who was shocked by the dynasty's luck, and couldn't understand it.
"That's because I'm a human being, I'm the true son of heaven, and if you make a move on me, you will naturally suffer revenge from the dynasty." The ghost king laughed, and the conspiracy succeeded.
"How can you still be a human being with such a high level of cultivation, whether it is cultivating immortals or cultivating demons, you have already broken away from the identity of mortals."
The cultivators were shocked, how could anyone have both advanced cultivation and the identity of a mortal emperor at the same time, these two things were not compatible at all.
They also saw that King You's demonic spirit was so pervasive, but they didn't expect King Youwang to be a "human" emperor recognized by the national fortune.
"Haha, after killing all the clan brothers, the luck of the whole Youguo is gathered in one of me, why don't the star monarchs in the sky come to me, and you unenlightened people dare to attack me?" Nie Jin laughed triumphantly, his laughter mixed with the screams of the bird demon.
The scorching sun is in the sky, but the scene is in a trance of hell.
Although people didn't understand any dynastic luck, they knew that Nie Jin, who was now unable to defeat the demons, showed despair and panic, and sat down on the ground, kneeling down and begging for forgiveness.
"Lang Jun, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, let He Xianren take you away, let Xuannu think of a way." Si Qin Mi was also a little desperate, he didn't expect this to be the kind of scene at all, these cultivators together couldn't defeat the Youwang.
"It's okay......" Zhuang Xun patted Si Qinmi's hand and put her at ease.
Zhuang Xun walked forward, the soldiers guarding in front of him got out of the way, and Si Qinmi's hand was freed: "Trust me." ”
"Do you want to die? Are you begging me to spare your family and your subordinates? Standing proudly in the air, Nie Jin smiled viciously.
"Don't worry, the rumored demon cave is true, none of you will let go, traitors, traitors who are not dead, soldiers who dare to invade the ghost country, none of them will be spared, all of them will be fed to the monsters, and all of them will die......" Threatening and threatening, trying to find frightened expressions on people's faces, the expressions of others all looked frightened, Nie Jin was very satisfied, but Zhuang Xun was expressionless.
"Scared silly? I don't dare to speak, for the sake of you taking the initiative to come to die, I heard that you and your wife have a deep affection, and I can reward you for burying with her, and become the nourishment for our secluded country to conquer the world. ”
Youwang wantonly vented his villain's ambition, maybe he was used to being bullied before, and he liked the happiness of bullying and humiliating others.
"Without the appearance of a king, Kyushu handed over to you such a mantis essence?" Zhuang Xun shook his head, Nie Jin didn't have the demeanor of a monarch like this.
"What do you say! Do you know that you will die a miserable death, I will throw you into the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, let ten thousand poisonous tongues bite you, devour your flesh and blood, and grind you into soy powder. Hearing Zhuang's inquiry, Nie Jin was greatly annoyed.
"I don't know, but I know ......" Zhuang Xun clenched the handscroll given by Mrs. Jiang, and the pattern of the blue bird slowly shone brightly.
"Here comes the sword!"
The white rainbow from the west pierced Nie Jin's chest, and the long sword was plunged straight into the ground in front of Zhuang Xun.
"Poof!" Nie Jin was stunned and spit out a mouthful of blood.
The harpy swarmed up to stop the cultivators one by one, and he clutched his chest and fled to the depths of the palace.
