Chapter III: Abandonment

This old palace maid has been unknown all her life, but with the previous order of Zheng Sleeve that spread throughout Changling, and with the life and death of tens of thousands of Chu people, not only her deeds, but even her disciple, Li Wanzhu, the palace maid whose name was known only to the high-ranking officials of the Divine Capital Prison, was mentioned by the world again.

Some people's deaths earn prestige, some records exist in the world of practitioners, but there are others whose deaths earn more than that.

When the old palace maid hidden in the palace of the Great Qin Dynasty stood up for the first time in exchange for the lives of more than 70,000 Chu people in Yangshan County and passed it to the Chu realm, countless people in Chu spontaneously paid tribute to this palace maid.

Many Chu people's homes even set up tablets for this old palace maid, which were worshiped as tablets of gods and Buddhas.

For the army, the death of this old palace maid is an indescribable force.

The armies of the Great Qin Dynasty were known for their bravery, but in the many battles that ensued in Chu, almost all of them were even more courageous than the Qin army.

The most famous is the Battle of Yinshan Dengbao.

There were more than 1,000 Chu troops stationed in Dengbao, and a small half of them or even just Dunbao households who did not practice much in ordinary times encountered more than 20,000 Qin troops who made a detour to raid a certain grain transportation route.

This is naturally a battle with a mantis arm as a car, but this more than 1,000 Chu troops have stubbornly blocked the Qin army's several charges, even if the whole army is wiped out in the end, but no one has fled, every time the Qin army charges, all the Chu troops who are still alive respond with a mocking laugh, "Is your prince Fusu the son of Wang Jingmeng or the son of Yuan Wu?"

Even if it can't hit you, spit a mouthful of bloody spit in your face.

This was originally the spirit of the Qin people.

But now it has become a Chu person.

What made Qin Jun even more uncomfortable was that they could only be angry, but they couldn't fight with the other party on this issue, and they couldn't dwell on such a problem.

Even many high-ranking generals of the Qin army did not think that driving out the Chu people of Yangshan County and forcing out such a great master was Zheng Sleeve's counterattack, but thought that Zheng Sleeve had made another wrong move.

"Who is that old palace maid?"

When the eldest grandson Qianxue looked at Ding Ning and asked this, she, Ding Ning and the old monk who had been following Ding Ning were only a few hills away from Deng Bao.

Prior to this, Ding Ning had already judged that such an army would probably take such a route, but they were still much slower, and Dunburg had already been razed to the ground.

War is like this, even if some things are calculated clearly, it is still too late, and although some cultivators are powerful, it is impossible to decide the outcome of a major battle based on cultivation alone.

Ding Ning's expression was a little complicated, and he said, "She is indeed Zhao Xiangfei's master." In terms of seniority, she is also my uncle, but it is a little ironic that she was originally placed in the palace by the Bashan Sword Field, responsible for guarding the safety of Yuanwu. Although she is from Chu, she has been learning swords in the Bashan Sword Field. ”

The eldest grandson, Qianxue, was well aware of that history, and when the Fa Changfa began to fight with the Bashan Sword Field to protect Yuan Wu and the other princes, there were many people who wanted to kill Yuan Wu.

"Rumor has it that she's dead. ”

Ding Ning looked at the eldest grandson Qianxue and added, "Although looking at it now, the rumors back then should only be an illusion created by her, but they can make her hide deeper." ”

"Where's Li Wanzhu? The eldest grandson, Qianxue, took a deep breath and asked.

She used to only care about the cultivation realm itself, and didn't care about the many things that happened in that wine shop and in Changling, but after understanding Ding Ning's true identity, she changed a lot. She remembered very well that Ding Ning had asked her to use some means to slightly change Fusu's appearance.

In fact, there are very few cultivators who can do that, in addition to the cultivation realm and the exercises practiced, this hands-on practitioner must also be extremely familiar with the appearance of Wang Jingmeng in the past, and deeply remember it, so that through extremely subtle carving, Fusu can have some similarities with Wang Jingmeng's charm.

When Ding Ning asked her to do this, she only felt that Ding Ning was taking advantage of Fusu's friendship with him, and she only felt vicious.

However, when she mentioned the palace maid again, she thought that the palace maid was willing to give her life just to openly say some insinuating words in the court. After that, Ding Ning's viciousness should have something to do with the death of the palace maid.

"Li Wanzhu is an orphan who once had a seriously ill younger brother. When I first came to Changling, she and her brother were begging along the streets. At that time, there was a market figure who wanted to use her brother's medical expenses as a blackmail to make her a concubine, and then I killed the market man casually, and then handed over the man's money to her to deal with. Ding Ning was silent for a moment, "Later, I didn't have anything to do with her, and I didn't even know when she became Zheng Sleeve's maid." ”

That's naturally repaying the favor.

The eldest grandson Qianxue was silent for a moment, she rarely thought about it with her heart, but as long as she was attentive, she would easily see some problems, "She deliberately said something like that at that banquet, not only to make Yuan Wu a little more suspicious of Zheng Sleeve, but also to tell the world that in fact, the relationship between Zheng Sleeve and Yuan Wu is not so close." This is the conclusion she has come to after many years in the palace, and it is impossible to go wrong with fate. ”

"You and I know Zheng Sleeve very well. ”

Ding Ning nodded, but there was an unusually solemn look on her face, "Since she can vaguely guess from Li Wanzhu that my female uncle is not dead, then she is not afraid of what may happen next, the more Yuan Wu cares, the more crazy she is to make such a move, it means that she has begun to fight back." ”

After a pause, he looked at the eldest grandson Qianxue, who was frowning deeply, and continued softly: "The more than 70,000 Chu people in Yangshan County, she won't just forget it. It is impossible for the Great Chu Dynasty to sit idly by and ignore those Chu people...... She wanted to force the Great Chu Dynasty to win or lose in Yangshan County as soon as possible. ”

"So I'm afraid the battle around Yangshan County is the key to victory?" Eldest Sun Qianxue easily understood what Ding Ning meant, and said, "Then we have to go to Yangshan County as soon as possible." ”

"We don't have to go. The Nine Dead Silkworms are in the Yin Mountain area, but it will contain more powerful cultivators here." Ding Ning shook his head, "It's just that we must not be able to grasp her exact whereabouts." Therefore, we will cut off military relations with the Wu clan in the future."

"What is it that makes you have such confidence?" After saying this to the eldest grandson Qianxue, Ding Ningyao looked at the Dunbao that had become a ruin, but such a voice sounded in his mind.

He knew Zheng Sleeve too well, so just these actions of Zheng Sleeve made him feel Zheng Sleeve's strong confidence in this big battle, a desire like a powerful predator to devour its prey.

......

Some of his guesses were extremely accurate.

At this time, in Yangshan County, there were already shameless things happening.

The Qin army, which escorted more than 70,000 Chu people, quickly withdrew after receiving the military order from Changling.

On that day, Zheng Sleeve faced the requests of those officials, and made a promise that as long as there was enough weight for the Chu people to die, she would no longer exile these Chu people in Yangshan County.

And now, the Qin army directly and quickly evacuated, leaving the more than 70,000 Chu people who had no food and medicine directly in the barren wilderness.

Because of the war that had been swept before, many areas of Yangshan County had long been deserted, and this Chu Liumin group of more than 70,000 people had been driven and marched in Yangshan County for many days, and now they only had two choices, either to return to their homes on foot for many more days, or to march towards the territory of Chu.

But in terms of the situation of this team, with its own strength, it is simply not possible.

Unless there is a Chu army with enough food and grass to come to respond.
