Chapter 244: Soldiers Coming to the City (Part II)

In King Shi's palace, the lord of Shi Guo sat on the throne, but he was not as high-spirited as before, and his face was full of sadness. Dozens of secretaries, doctors, and scholars below exchanged heads and ears with each other, and the sound of discussion was like mosquito wings, buzzing into the ears of the lord of the country.

"That's it!"

Lord Shi Guoguo stood up, pointed to the ministers below and said in a deep voice: "I want you to think of a way, but one by one, you are babbling here to say something, are you not clear about the situation, or do you not explain it?"

"The king is angry!" The ministers hurriedly bowed to the ground, and the middle-aged man in Xuanyi, who was on the left, said: "The king's love for his daughter is known throughout the country, but the person the princess marries this time is the lord of all nations, and she will not be wronged, so why should the king worry?"

A few days ago, the envoy of Daxia came to Shicheng, saying that the current emperor Xia Lugui canonized Yuxi as the concubine, and Fuyao Wang Yu Qingwu personally led a large army to meet him. Calculating the time, the so-called welcoming team will be able to arrive in Shicheng either today or tomorrow.

The ministers in the palace all knew that the princess was regarded as the pearl of his palm, and he was afraid of falling if he held it in his hand, and he was afraid of melting it in his mouth, so he naturally didn't want to marry his daughter out of Lu like this. But the person who wants to marry is extraordinary, but the emperor of today, the master of the earth in the world, not to mention a princess of the country, as long as he gives an order, the beauties of the whole world will be selected by him in front of him!

Although the ministers covet Yu Xi's beauty, they don't want Yu Xi to marry like this, but even if they are reluctant, for the sake of their own lives, they must not only hold back their reluctance, but also persuade the lord of the country! Otherwise, if they anger Daxia and attract invincible Daxia soldiers, I am afraid that Shicheng will be razed to the ground.

Hearing his subordinates' words, Lord Shi sighed heavily, sat on the throne and said with a wry smile: "You should only be blinded by Lone's eyes, and you can't bear to marry your daughter far away, in fact, if Xia Lugui is a good man, don't say that he is the emperor, even if he is just a scholar, Lone will agree to this family business!"

"Then why is the king so vehemently opposed?" asked the ministers.

Lord Shi sighed again and said: "Whether Xia Luqi is a good man or not, it is impossible for us to really know from thousands of miles away, but we can see some clues from a few small things. First, if he is really a Ming Jun, how could his concubine Yingji die early? I am afraid that someone is resentful of him, so as to warn him, if Yu Xi marries in the past, will he become the second Yingji?"

"Second. The king of Fuyao, Yu Qingwu, was romantic, the groom ate and drank every night, did not do his job, and could still be reused, and he was only a few months into the court, and he was first appointed as the general of the demons, and then he was promoted to Jiuqing, and was appointed as the Xia official Sima! The so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the subordinates are so debauched, how good can Xia Luqi be as the emperor of the people? If Lone agrees to this family business, doesn't he push his daughter into the fire pit?

Hearing this, the ministers fell silent. They also heard about the romance of Fuyao Wang Yu Qingwu, it is rumored that this Fuyao King is more evil than the emperor's capital, and the palace sings every night, and his person is the groom every night, indulging in lust. In this regard, instead of stopping him, Xia Lugui also entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, from this point of view, Xia Lugui is indeed not a good emperor, maybe like Yu Qingwu, he is a ridiculous master!

In their hearts, Yuxi is tantamount to a holy fairy and a goddess, how can she be so defiled?

"Report!!"

In the silence of everyone, there was an urgent report from outside the hall, and then a scout rushed into the hall, knelt down, and said to the lord on the throne: "Your Majesty, according to the report of the spies, the Great Xia welcoming team is already fifty miles away, and it will be able to come to the city in half an hour!"

"How many people?" said Shi Guozhu nervously.

"No less than 10,000 people!" replied the scout.

"10,000 people...... Isn't that an army?"

Lord Shi stood up with a gloomy face. An army came to greet relatives, no more, no less, just right. Moreover, in order to prevent himself from closing the city, the troops sent by Great Xia must be full of elite soldiers and strong generals! Thinking of this, he said to the scout: "Pass the order of the orphan, and the whole army is on alert!" The words fell, and he stepped off the throne and went straight to the city wall.

......

Half an hour later, a black and oppressive dark cloud appeared in the west outside Shicheng, as if a strong storm and rain were coming. After a while, the sound of horses' hooves and uniform footsteps came into the city, and the defenders on the city wall found that the black pressure in the west was not a dark cloud, but a black-armored army of tens of thousands of people.

At this time, it was only a few miles away from Shicheng, and the big bull who followed Yu Qingwu on horseback was born extraordinary, and his eyesight was amazing, and he saw at a glance that the gate of Shicheng was closed, and the city wall was also hunting with flags, and the crowd was crowded. Although his brain is not bright, he can also guess what Shi Cheng's intentions are, and immediately smacked his lips and said: "Grandma is a bear, it seems that we are not welcomed this time!"

I still remember that a few months ago, when they returned from Guangqi to the imperial capital and passed through Shicheng, the gates of this small city were wide open! However, today the city gate is closed, and the city walls are full of soldiers with bows and arrows, making it clear that they are not going to let themselves and others enter the city.

"Brother Big Niu, when did you become so smart?" Zeyou on the side chuckled. He got to know Da Niu during his trip to Guangqin, and he got along well with Da Niu, so he didn't pay much attention to what he said.

Da Niu smiled, scratched the back of his head and glanced at Yu Qingwu, who couldn't see any expression, and said: "Master and Gongzi are so powerful, after staying with him for a long time, I Da Niu has to grow a little!"

"I don't think I let you open up, but those girls!" Yu Qingwu's lips tilted slightly, the big cow is really extraordinary, no matter how he and Fu Bo taught him, he didn't grow, but when he was with those girls, he suddenly opened up, and his brain became extraordinarily bright!

In the past few months, there have been banquets in the palace every three or five times, and the warblers and swallows are endless, and the happiest one is the big cow. After staying with those young girls for a long time, he is no longer as wooden as he used to be, I have to say that this is a miracle, and an inexplicable miracle.

When Yu Qingwu said this, Da Niu immediately became embarrassed, and Zeyou on the side snickered.

At this time, the army was only a mile away from Shicheng, Yu Qingwu stopped first, raised his right hand, and the Black Wood Army behind him also stopped. Seeing this, the clever Zeyou immediately drove a few steps forward, raised his true qi and shouted to the city tower: "King Fuyao is here, why don't you open the city to see you?!"

The city tower guard, who had already been instructed by the lord of the country, immediately poked out his head and replied in a loud voice: "King Fuyao has come to Shicheng, and the whole city should be visited, but at this time there are traitors in the city, and we are investigating the whole city, so His Highness will be harmed, and after the traitors are caught, the lord of the country will ask for guilt in person!

"Fuck it!"

As soon as he heard that there was a traitor in the city, the big bull with a bright brain cursed, and drove forward and shouted: "Could it be that if you don't arrest the traitor for a day, you won't open the city gate for a day, and let Lao Tzu and others be exposed to the wind and rain outside, starving and freezing outside?"

"Don't dare, for the safety of His Highness, we can only wait!" The guard on the castle tower replied, making it clear that no matter what, he would not open the city gate.

"Banana, you Barra!" Da Niu scolded, and was about to rush over and break the door alone, but Zeyou on the side held him down and signaled him not to mess around, and then turned to Yu Qingwu and said: "Your Highness, Shi Cheng has made it clear that he will not let us enter the city to welcome Concubine Yuan, you see?"

"What else to see, Lao Tzu went directly to tear down the city gate, and then the army entered the city, demolished the entire Shi City, and then grabbed Yu Lao'er and unloaded eight pieces!" Da Niu waved his thick arms and scolded and said: "It's against the sky, even we dare to block it, it's really the birthday boy hanging, tired of it!"

Da Niu was already short-tempered, but he was tamed by Fu Bo, and later followed Yu Qingwu to eat and drink spicy food, and there was no way to lose his temper. At this time, he followed Yu Qingwu to lead the army here, and when he saw that Shi Cheng was actually closed, his temper that had been suppressed exploded instantly, if it weren't for Yu Qingwu not saying anything, I am afraid that he would have already entered the city.

Yu Qingwu raised his hand, signaled Da Niu to calm down, and then said: "If Shi Cheng insists on refusing to open the city gate, we will definitely wave our troops at each other, but we have traveled thousands of miles, and the Black Wood Army is already tired, while Shi Cheng's soldiers are waiting for work, plus the enemy is outnumbered, and it is not good for us to start a war now." ”

Although he knew that Yu Qingwu was right, the angry bull still said: "Then what should I do, is it difficult to achieve it with them?"

Seeing Yu Qingwu nodded, Ze You frowned slightly, and said, "Your Highness, we didn't bring siege equipment this time, and the grain and grass are not enough to support three days, and it will not be beneficial to us if we consume it!"

Although Huang Lin lent the Black Wood Army, he did not give the siege heavy weapons, and in order to rush to Shicheng as quickly as possible, he did not bring much grain and grass, and basically requisitioned it from the cities along the way; to put it bluntly, the current Black Wood Army is just a pure person, and it is okay to fight a small battle, if it is said to attack the city, it is absolutely impossible.

What's more, although Shi Guo is a small country, it stands to reason that it can only support one army, but everyone knows that there must be more than one army in Shi City, and the troops are invincible, and they are attacking the city with insufficient equipment, and the defeat is decided!

"If you really want to attack the city, this king alone will be enough!" Yu Qingwu smiled and said: "Zeyou, don't worry, there is a chance that this battle will not be able to be fought nine times out of ten, so we will set up camp first, maybe we will be able to return to the imperial capital as soon as it dawns tomorrow morning." ”

"This ......" Seeing Yu Qingwu's confident appearance, Zeyou was undecided, but out of trust in Yu Qingwu, he still ordered the army to retreat five miles and set up camp and make a fire to cook.

At night, a fairy glow rushed out of Yu Qingwu's body in the handsome tent, and in a blink of an eye, the fairy glow had turned into his appearance. The avatar outside the body smiled at each other, and then disappeared into obscurity.

The Blackwood Army recuperated at peace under Yu Qingwu's instructions, but the defenders in Shicheng did not dare to relax for half a point, for fear that the Blackwood Army would steal the city at night. Such a night passed in the nervousness of the people of Shicheng, and when the belly of the fish was white, the Black Wood Army appeared under Shicheng in a mighty manner, causing the defenders of Shicheng who had not slept all night to be nervous.
