Chapter Forty-Seven: Saving the Virgin
It is not easy to swallow a small one, the Zhao army has more soldiers than the Xia army, and it is very difficult to digest, but fortunately, the Zhao army has the Empress Dowager Jiang in charge.
Her prestige ensures that the 90,000-strong Zhao army is obedient and can make the generals trust her, but she still has to be adapted and transformed, and she must be restrained by the generals.
It is also thanks to King Zhao's military reform, there are many poor families in the Zhao army, and it is relatively easy to take over the Zhao army, at least most of them defect completely.
"Now is not the time to digest the Zhao army, we should destroy the Zhao country in one go." Li Ruxi and He Heng both suggested so, but put aside the whole training first, they have already swallowed the elephant, so they will eat themselves.
"That's right, taking advantage of the fact that the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State did not react, they went to rob Zhao State first, and there are a lot of good things in Zhao Guo's treasury."
Empress Dowager Jiang also proposed, it was all the money she had saved, and King Zhao would give it to his brother's father if he didn't need it, so as not to be robbed by others.
"Since everyone has decided so, so be it." Because of Zhuang Xun's miracle of slashing the tornado, it was already in a pivotal position, and it became an out-and-out hall.
Now Zhuang Xun said that no one dared to resist him in advance and backward, even if the decision was wrong, this is the newly established prestige, the effect of the sword slashing the hurricane, and establishing Zhuang Xun's status as the true son of heaven.
Whether it is a former soldier or a newly attached soldier, there is a kind of blind worship and admiration, not to mention the generals who saw this scene up close, Zhuang Xun said that he was not the Son of Heaven and no one believed him.
This is also the reason why the Xia army successfully took over the Zhao army, the hurricane can be split, and ordinary people basically lose the mind to resist and surrender to the power beyond themselves.
Zhuang Xun was very calm, knowing that he was doing this kind of thing out of luck, he arranged the war, and the generals who were ordered to leave with their own orders, and went straight to Jinyang, to completely destroy the Zhao State.
The remaining generals were still thinking about dealing with Zheng Guo and Jing Guo, but Zhuang Xun's thoughts were not here, and he floated to the front of the hurricane.
Thinking that the person who speaks in her own mind, who calls herself the god of the earth, is the so-called proverb of the Son of Heaven that she taught herself.
Did the great god support himself too? Was she responsible for the last earthquake?
The back soil in Bi Yuewu's mouth is a great god who almost doesn't see his face, mysterious and secretive, even if Zhuang Xun has a lot of doubts and wants her to answer his doubts, he can't do anything now that people are not there.
While thinking about these problems, I listened to the discussion, and after some discussion, the consensus was to eat Jingguo's attacking troops first, otherwise it would be troublesome for Jingguo and Zheng Guo to unite, and they would be caught off guard by these people.
The rapid capture of Jinyang has become the key, so that it is better to use the name of Empress Dowager Jiang to return to the power of Zhao and eat the inheritance of Zhao.
The meeting of the deliberations ended, the war machine was running at high speed, Zhuang Xun walked to the room where the Xuannu was under house arrest, when the hurricane was beheaded, the Xuannu was already seriously injured, and when she heard the words of the Empress Dowager Jiang's persuasion, she passed out directly, for several days, and now she is in a coma, Zhuang Xun is going to see if it is better.
Gently pushed open the door, and found that the Xuannu was already sitting by the window, her delicate face was slightly haggard, and a pair of bright eyes looked out of the window blankly, lonely and lonely.
"Are you coming? Sit down. Xuannu patted the vacant seat beside her that had left a place, and motioned for Zhuang Xun to sit down.
"Well, mother, are you okay?" Zhuang Xun sat down and looked at the Xuannu, looking at her haggard appearance, revealing a distressed expression.
"It's okay, it's just dying." Xuannu showed a smile, but the words she said were extremely terrifying, with a kind of freedom beyond the degree of life and death.
Zhuang Xun's heart froze, revealing an ugly look, and he took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, don't tease me, Niangniang." ”
"I didn't tease you, I am indeed going to die, the Zhao Kingdom is destroyed, and the karma of the whole country will be entangled in my body, tearing off the three flowers on the top, the five qi in the chest, the spirit will dissipate, and there will be no such person in the world."
Xuannu's smile was kind, as if she was not talking about herself, a sense of detachment and indifference to life and death was reflected from her.
"Ah, this ......" Zhuang Xun was taken aback, and his sense of astonishment made him unable to speak nonsense, the failure of Zhao Guo, is the consequences so serious for Xuannu?
Subconscious worry appeared in his heart, feeling as if he had done something wrong, he had just deployed a plan to destroy the Zhao Kingdom, he had an urge to go out and stop, and he knew that he couldn't be willful.
"It's okay, it's okay, Zhao Guo's fate is already doomed, I've accepted this fact, it's good to see Ling again, I thought it was goodbye last time, and it's great to see you on my deathbed!"
Xuannu said happily, hugging Zhuang Xun, as a cultivator, life and death at this moment have been weakened, and being able to accompany her lover at the end of her life makes her feel happy.
Zhuang Xun was hugged by her, like a dumpling wrapper wrapped in the filling, and his head was also pressed in a piece of love, hugging tightly.
"Mother, I, I ......"
"Feel sorry for me? What are you sorry for me, I said it at the beginning, state affairs are state affairs, private affairs are private affairs, and I didn't show mercy to you, you almost couldn't eat the 70,000 Xuanjia army of Zhao State, it was I who resisted, you won, won beautifully, this sword, piercing the sky, is bright and upright, what is there to be sorry for me. ”
Looking at Zhuang Xun's tangled face, Xuannu hugged Zhuang Xun, convinced, she also felt happy about Zhuang Xun's success, just like the mentality of Empress Dowager Jiang, it was Zhuang Xun who won, if Jing Guo and Zheng Guo won, she would be really uncomfortable.
"Niangniang, I'm sorry, I can't give the order to stop attacking Zhao State." Zhuang Xun pulled out of Xuannu's arms, and he suddenly felt a great pressure, he was killing Xuannu, in the process of killing Xuannu.
"I really shouldn't tell you, it's just that I really died silently, and it will make you miserable for the rest of your life, so I'm still going to say it."
Zhuang Xun's painful expression made Xuannu's smile lighten, she picked up Zhuang Xun's cheek and looked directly into Zhuang Xun's eyes, wanting to convey her feelings to him.
"Dying on the path of enlightenment and detachment is the fate of most monks, thank you for making up for my regretful life, I have never regretted falling in love with you, but it is better to say that I feel sweet to be able to dissipate my soul in your arms."
"And if you don't destroy the Zhao State, Zheng Jing and the two countries will not stop, I hope that you can get the nourishment of the Zhao State, and finally unify the world and become an immortal."
Pinching Zhuang Xun's cheeks, the head of the mantis was close, and the messy hair made Zhuang Xun feel itchy, wanting to dodge, firmly control, and accept the encouragement of the Xuannu.
"Let's just say that I didn't plan to tell you, it will make you hesitate to destroy Zhao Guo, and it will make you blame yourself now, but after you don't say it, you will also know, I have seen a lot of regrets for the rest of my life because I killed my lover by mistake, I don't want you to be like this."
"I want you to understand, I calmly accept the fate of failure, you won with dignity, I lost with confidence and convincing, and I didn't and didn't need you to harm the interests of the country to save me, this is the battle of Jackie Chan, I'm just like those gods who failed before, don't be sad, life and death are fate, I am very happy to be defeated by you, I am really happy."
Xuannu took a deep breath and said, the aroma of Youlan spit on Zhuang Xun's face, Zhuang Xun's mood was a little better, but it was still a little heavy.
"...... Hmmm......"
Xuannu kissed Zhuang Xun's lips and blocked all Zhuang Xun's words in her mouth, Zhuang Xun was not in the mood to do such a thing, and looked very stiff.
"It's all at this time, what else can't you let go." The eyebrows of the Xuannu are flirtatious, and the pupils of the autumn water are sparkling.
Zhuang Xun's complicated mood is indescribable, and he still can't let go, he can't let go at all, because the decision he made has the feeling of betraying the Xuannu, although the Xuannu doesn't care about this.
"Can't you just let me enjoy it before I die?" Xuannu's provocative smile, and she also felt the stiffness of Zhuang Xun's response.
"It's all like this now, Niangniang should think of some way to save herself." Zhuang Xun said anxiously, and then was kissed by the Xuannu again.
"I can't save it, how can I get out so easily, I'm the national teacher of Zhao State." Tasting the taste of her own man, Xuannu's tone became more and more gentle.
"Ge Daochang is the national teacher of Yu State, don't you get out, we will attack Zhao State, let King Zhao also give me the throne, you give me the national teacher, I can protect you."
Zhuang Xun thought of another national teacher, Ge Tan, and wanted to replicate Ge Tan's operation, and wanted to save the Xuannu.
"Fool, how can it be so easy, Ge Tan doesn't have such great karma, and the national unity of the Xia State can inherit the Yu State, that's because you are a lower rank than the Yu State, and now you have been raised to the same status as the Zhao State, how can you get the Zen concession of the Zhao State."
Xuannu pointed out the unreality in Zhuang Xun's words, and Zhuang Xun's expression was even darker, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say anything.
"Don't be sad, don't think about these meaningless things, show you some good things." The Xuannu who figured it out looked very free and easy, and once again held Zhuang Xun in her arms.
"This is what I have accumulated over more than 100,000 years, all of them are treasures of heaven and earth, jade bottles, and Yaochi mirrors...... "Xuannu took out a treasure bag, one by one, floating in the air, emitting auspicious light.
"This is what I won from a bet I made with the old gentleman of Sanqing, this is when I was a fairy under the Queen Mother of the West......"
Xuannu is like a number of treasures, every time she tells a story, the treasure blooms with a ray of precious light, as if in response to Xuannu's words, Xuannu also reveals nostalgia, these things accompany her all the way, and now they need to find a new support.
"These, those are all for you, you are not invaded now, the pill is useless to you, but you can also take it, and you may be able to use it in the future."
is like an old mother, taking stock of her assets, all of which have to be left to Zhuang Xun, a dutiful son, who doesn't understand.
Familiar and unfamiliar words came out of the mouth of the Xuannu, these auspicious and splendid items were either known or not, but it didn't matter, he could feel the will to die that sprouted from the Xuannu.
"......" thought that he was going to cut the last knife to Xuannu, Zhuang Xun was a little depressed, but just like Xuannu said, the current situation, Zhuang Xun will not destroy Zhao, Zhao will also be destroyed, if Zhuang Xun gives up, it will damage the interests of the country.
"Others are already lucky to get the same, but you have a bitter face, don't you like these things?"
Xuannu doted and blamed Zhuang Xun for not being satisfied, these things are placed in the world of cultivators, even if they are placed in the fairy world, they are also things that many gods have made a big move, Zhuang Xun is still bitter.
"One of the most precious things is lost, mother, is it really lifeless?" Zhuang Xun asked without giving up, the better the Xuannu treated him at the moment, the more uncomfortable he became, although he knew that he was fighting for the dragon, and he was conceited of success or failure.
"I can't bear you, I also want to be your thing and not be lost, but the road ahead is lifeless, accompany me for the last period of time, think about detachment, and in the end, it will be because you stay, so what do you do so hard."
Xuannu laughed at herself and said that with her current state, detachment would not leave, so what is this for, she worked hard in vain, and put herself in.
"Cough ......" Xuannu took a mouthful of blood and surged up her throat, and she coughed on the handkerchief, and then the whole person fainted.
"Niangniang, Niangniang, Bi Yue......" Zhuang Xun was in a hurry, and subconsciously wanted to call Bi Yuewu.
"Don't worry, she's fine, it's just that Jing Jun broke Zhao Jun, and Zhao Guo's luck was hit hard and affected her." A familiar and kind voice sounded from behind Zhuang Xun, who turned his head suddenly, and a kind old woman appeared in the room.
"Hou Tu Niang?" Zhuang Xun asked tentatively, compared with the Xuannu, the old woman in front of her was more sacred, and there was a natural Taoist rhyme on her body, which lasted for a long time.
"It's me, it's very good, it's not easy for this little girl to find a home like you, one day to match others, but forget about herself."
Houtu praised Zhuang Xun and said, she was also looking at Zhuang Xun, her relaxed expression after panicking, her puzzled eyes, and her willingness to plead, and her temperament also had a benevolent appearance.
"Great mercy and compassion, save the Xuannu Niangniang." Zhuang Xun knelt down without hesitation and begged, saying that he was really afraid that the Xuannu would disappear as soon as she fell.
"Get up, my child, naturally I will save it, rather, the reason why I came this time is to save him, do you want to save her? If you don't save her, these treasures will be yours. ”
Hou Tu smiled, raised his hand, and a golden pill was controlled by her into the mouth of the Xuannu, and Hou Tu raised his hand, and many treasures floating in the sky came to Zhuang Xun, these normal people knew that it was a good thing.
"The treasures here are only Xuannu Niangniang, these things, things outside the body, don't do this kind of clumsy temptation, I just want Xuannu Niangniang, Houtu Niangniang, is there any way to prevent Xuannu Niangniang from being eaten by national fortune."
Zhuang Xun stood up, went to the side of the bed and hugged the Xuannu and hugged her, these precious things were not at all tempting to Zhuang Xun, he wanted to save the Xuannu more.
"There is a way, let you and Xia Guo choose one? Conflict with your royal business. Hou Tu Niang asked directly.
"I ...... Elect Wang Ye ......" is another kind of question, hesitated for a moment and said.
"Heh, the mountain alliance and the sea oath are all false, it seems that the Xuannu is not a person." Houtu's expression became stern, and Zhuang Xun's gaze lost his kindness.
"Saving her won't affect your unification of the world, but it will affect your ascension to immortals, are you willing?" Houtu raises another question, which is not entirely risk-free.
"The country is not mine alone, it is everyone's work together, the people and soldiers, the generals and hundreds of officials work hard, and bravely kill the enemy, I can't exchange it for Xuannu Niangniang, but this kind of thing is my own, what if I can't ascend to the immortal, I want to save Xuannu Niangniang!" Please help me. ”
Zhuang Xun firmly said that this is his attitude.
carried out his public and private relationship with the Xuannu.
