The night is indeed deep.

Chen Sheng sat alone on a bench in the courtyard, and didn't hear a sound for a long, long time.

He also had all the lights in the house set on fire, even in the kitchen.

He was not afraid to face death or darkness, but he always had an indescribable disgust and hatred for these two things, and he always wished to be far away from them.

Now he was trying his best to concentrate his thoughts, thinking about where he would go from here.

He had lost Chen Cheng, the capital that Zhang Chu had only established for a few months.

He went all the way south under the escort of the Cangtou army, and fled to Ruyin before stationing.

The reason why he went south to Ruyin was because there was Zhang Chu's Qin Jiabu in Huaibei, and because there was Xiang Liang's army in Jiangdong who had not yet been dispatched, and as for where to take refuge, he had not yet made a decision.

When he was in a panic, he suddenly saw Zhuang Jia in full armor, staggered over, and exclaimed: "Oh no, it's not good, Zhang Han's pursuers are almost here, where should we flee?"

Chen Sheng was shocked, and when he heard the shouts from the northwest, he hurriedly shouted: "Retreat, retreat to the city father!"

Chen Sheng hurriedly mounted his horse and brought the remnants of 8,000 elite soldiers to meet the enemy, and the Qin army's iron cavalry was extremely brave and unstoppable.

Chen Sheng had to fight to the death, and when he was in danger, fortunately the general Lu Chen was extremely brave, and he opened a bloody road to protect Chen Sheng to the northeast, and fought and retreated.

Suddenly, a dazzling silver light fell through the sky.

The silver light was so strong that it burned the eyes of almost all the pursuers. The war horse let out a desperate wail, and in an instant the man turned on his back.

The pursuers of the Qin army were taken aback, and they were all frightened, and hurriedly reported to Sima Xin and Lei Ming: "General Bing, there is a white-faced man in front of him blocking the way, and he is extremely fierce." ”

Sima Xin, Lei Ming came on horseback, only to see a white figure standing proudly in the smoke and dust that soared into the sky, with a sword in his hand, emitting a dazzling light, and the glorious moonlight was also dimmed.

Sima Xin, Lei Ming relied on his courage and asked sharply: "Who are you who dare to block the way?"

The white-faced man replied: "I am Hu Ling, the forward under General Xiang, and I have come to help Chen Sheng, the king of Zhang Chu, Qin Zheng is harsh, and it will not last long, if you can surrender Zhang Chu, my king will give you the title of prince and king, if you don't know the overall situation, you will be wiped out." ”

Sima Xin laughed and said: "Bold puppet, dare to speak wildly, incite the hearts of the army, the old man is persuaded to surrender to Daqin, spare you from death?"

Hu Ling'er snorted coldly, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and the purple light in her eyes was tactful, but it was getting thicker and thicker.

Suddenly, the sound of the dragon's groan tore through the heavy moonlight, and the water-like sword light in her hand turned into a rainbow and slashed straight down.

Sima Xin and Lei Ming raised their long swords to greet them, and in a moment, they were already drenched in cold sweat, and the long swords of the two had been bent down, and the horses under the seats were also deeply dented, as if they had carried an invisible boulder on their backs, and they would fall down at any time.

Ling'er sneered, her wrist suddenly sank, and with a sudden shock, Sima Xin and Lei Ming were both pushed by a great force and flew backwards.

Sima Xin and Lei Ming retreated a few feet away before they stopped retreating, and they were horrified in their hearts, and exclaimed: "All the troops are on board." ”

In an instant, the dust was flying, and the Qin army's iron cavalry surrounded Ling'er, she slowly raised her head, and suddenly her body spun, and her body suddenly turned into a dragon scroll, with countless layers of sword shadows, and a circle of iron cavalry fell one after another, blood splashed everywhere, and a miserable scream pierced the sky.

Ling'er slaughtered through the encirclement, the white robe was full of blood, and the soldiers of the Qin army retreated in fright.

Lu Chen escorted Chen Sheng to run until dawn, and when he heard the shouting and killing behind him, he gradually disappeared, and only then did he settle down in the city father.

After counting his entourage, most of the men and horses were broken, and there were less than 2,000 elite soldiers left. Chen Sheng cried loudly: "Hundreds of thousands of horses, following me against Qin, were slaughtered, is the sky going to kill me Chen Sheng, God, how unfair you are!"

Lu Chen said: "There is no way to storm Qin, the world is attacking it, I am willing to swear to follow the king, the king does not have to be sad, victory or defeat is the common sense of the soldiers, stay in the green mountains, and I am not afraid of the time when there is no comeback." ”

Chen Sheng sighed: "You are really my loyal minister of Zhang Chu, as long as I Chen Sheng does not die, you will always be my general." ”

Chen Sheng instructed Lü Chen to settle down in Chengfutun, where he gathered the remnants of the army and the surrounding evacuation forces, and started a maneuver with the Qin army.

At noon, Ling'er saw an ancient city standing not far away, shining in the sun. Presumably that is the city father, Ling'er was full of spirit and hurriedly walked towards the city father.

Chen Sheng was drinking, he drank very slowly, but rarely stopped, and drank one glass, and another.

Zhuang Jia carefully poured him wine next to him and asked, "King, where should we go tomorrow?"

Chen Sheng said coldly: "Zhuang Jia, do you want to surrender the Qin army?"

Zhuang Jia hurriedly knelt down and said: "Qi Chen Wang, Zhuang Jia will not surrender! Zhuang Jia follows King Chen to fight to the death!"

Chen Sheng sighed angrily: "Zhuang Jia, you have been following me for almost half a year, if you want to surrender to the official mansion, you can go, I, Chen Sheng, will never surrender." ”

Zhuang Jia kowtowed again and again: "If King Chen does not surrender, I, Zhuang Jia, will never surrender, and I swear to follow King Chen to the death." ”

While the two were talking, a small official came to report that Zhu Fang, the master of Zhongzheng, had arrived.

Chen Sheng was overjoyed and said, "Quick, hurry up, please come to the hall." ”

Zhu Fang said: "When the minister heard that King Chen had arrived at the city father, he hurriedly came to meet my king. ”

Chen Sheng said excitedly: "Lord Zhongzheng, you came at the right time, please teach me Lord Zhongzheng, where should I take root now?"

Zhu Fang said worriedly: "The current situation is critical, Xiang Liang's army is the strongest, but the people are independent and do not listen to Zhang Chu's orders; Qin Jia has already established Jingju as the king of Chu, and he has a lot of different intentions, so he can't go; Qiongbu and Peng Yue are both criminals and thieves, and they are all wandering around, and they have no place to stand; Liu Bang's Peixian army has also encountered resistance, and they intend to defect to Qin Jia to settle down, and they can't become Zhang Chu's foothold. ”

Chen Sheng frowned and said, "You can't go here, you can't go there, as long as you fight Qin desperately?"

Zhu Fang said: "The Qin army is too powerful, if my king can resist, he won't be where he is today?"

Chen Sheng said impatiently: "What do you say you should do?"

Zhu Fang pondered for a moment and said, "Can my king hear that the soldiers said that someone wants to surrender to the Qin army?"

Chen Sheng was taken aback, and his blade-like gaze stared at Zhu Fang's face: "Who, who wants to surrender to Qin, is it you, Lord Zhongzheng?"

Seeing Chen Sheng's cold gaze, Zhu Fang hurriedly knelt down and buckled his head in fright, and said: "Now the general trend has gone, and if my king wants to protect the wealth and wealth, the only way to surrender is to surrender ............."

Chen Sheng said angrily: "Bird, Zhu Fang, you villain, if you want to descend to you, I will never descend to Qin." ”

Zhu Fang saw that Chen Sheng was furious, and said tremblingly: "If my king does not surrender, the ministers will not surrender, and the ministers should follow my king to resist Qin to the end." ”

At this time, Zhuang Jia came to report that a messenger from outside who claimed to be General Xiang wanted to see my king.

Chen Sheng shouted angrily: "Let him in!"

I saw someone coming, with warm eyebrows and noble spirits, and an ordinary cyan robe was handsome like a fairy.
