stand back, let me come

Chapter 1192: Lightning Attack (Part 1192) [Seeking monthly pass]

Although Zhen State is a small country, it is also a serious country with its own border barriers and is not weak in strength.

This is also due to the fact that the King of Zhen was afraid of death.

He had been trying to survive in the cracks for these years, and was often awakened by some strange noises in the middle of the night. He was most afraid of losing his territory. In order to save his life and status, he racked his brains to please the neighboring powerful countries, and also used the limited national resources to strengthen the border barriers.

After more than 20 years, the border barrier has become quite strong.

This is also the masterpiece that King Zhen is most proud of in his life!

We cannot say that it is impregnable, but it is definitely not something that can be broken by a few attacks. The heroes who guard the border barrier are even more powerful.

  He never thought that his pride would be so vulnerable!

"Is it——" The King of Zhen was both shocked and angry. He tightly grasped the gold-plated and engraved handle of the Pingji. His knuckles trembled uncontrollably. His eyes were bloodshot. A guess that made his spine shiver emerged in his mind, "Did the general guarding the pass surrender?"

This is the only possibility that can explain the loss of the important border town.

He would rather believe that there were disloyal and unjust people on his side than to believe that the enemy was too strong! The question from the King of Zhen made the soldier who was desperately delivering the message glare with anger. He stood up and cursed the King with tears and blood.

This soldier is the confidant of the garrison commander. He was ordered to deliver the message at the risk of his life, and he was still worried about the general whose life or death he didn't know. The king to whom the general was loyal questioned his loyalty! How could he not be discouraged? Total despair?

  When was the ruler insulted like this?

Even though he felt guilty, he was unwilling to admit his mistake.

He was so angry that he said, "If he didn't surrender, then he is incompetent! My border barrier is as solid as a rock. Even if a 17th-rank Siche Shuchang attacks with all his strength, he can't shake it! Not to mention breaking it?"

In addition to the border barrier, he also made secondary preparations!

He hired a talented person from a good neighbor with a lot of money! This talented person is proficient in the secret words of restraining the strength of the generals! Even if Kangguo dispatched seventeen chariots and generals this time, the talented person can suppress the opponent's strength!

  With double protection, three town fortresses were lost in two hours?

The King of Zhen State could not accept this reality!

  But, his outspokenness was really rude!

"——Tell me, is this possible?!"

Normally, he would not express his emotions, and at most he would curse in his heart, but the current crisis has made him lose the ability to calmly consider and weigh the pros and cons. Zhen State has no decent defense, and even the three important border towns were lost in two hours. It is even more difficult for other cities to stop the enemy's offensive.

Reinforcements?

Even if the reinforcements can come, it will take time. The enemy moves as fast as lightning, and the reinforcements can only catch up with the first seven days of Zhen Guo!

The guard's confidant's heart was not only chilled, but also broken.

As a string in his brain broke, endless anger filled his heart! Under the extreme emotion, he had already exhausted his physical strength and martial energy, but he didn't know where to get a burst of strength. The violent martial energy surged in his palm, and his body rushed towards the king like a cannonball. He let out a sad roar of a beast before his death, and turbid tears overflowed from his eyes, faintly stained with blood: "Stupid king!"

This unexpected change was unexpected by the King of Zhen.

He screamed: "Protect the emperor!"

  Having been pampered and indulged in beauty for many years, he had long neglected martial arts. When faced with a sudden life-and-death crisis, his first reaction was not to meet the enemy head-on, but to hide behind others in panic, shouting for others to kill the traitor! He thought the guards could chop the traitor into a pulp in a few moves, but he underestimated the determination of the guard's confidant, which allowed him to break through the obstacles!

He killed his way to the King of Zhen State.

  The King of Zhen was chased by him and fled, crawling and tumbling, with his clothes disheveled and his hair disheveled, looking so miserable!

He was nearly chopped by the defending general's confidants several times.

This farce did not last long, and ended with the King of Zhen being slightly injured and the defending general's confidant being chopped into dozens of pieces.

The glaring blood dyed the gold bricks red.

The King of Zhen sat on the ground in a panic, gasping for breath, his eyes still showing the relief of surviving the disaster. He took a deep breath, raised his hand to support himself on the table, and staggered to his feet, staring at the body parts on the ground with his triangular eyes: "Someone come and clean them up, throw them out to feed the dogs!"

He calmed his racing heart.

He closed his eyes tightly, then opened them again, and started to blame others.

  The defending general collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, which resulted in the loss of the three town fortresses. If the country is truly destroyed in the future, this thief will be the eternal sinner of the Zhen State!

Haha, no treason?

Without treason, would his dog assassinate its master?

It was clearly a premeditated plot!

  The King of Zhen State did not mention that he was outspoken! Everyone in the palace was his own people, and no one else would know about this!

After all, paper cannot keep fire.

The Kangguo army was coming fiercely, and three important fortresses were lost in two hours. This bad news spread all over the capital, and the capital was in chaos. Some families were still thinking about countermeasures, while others had already started packing their belongings and preparing to escape.

The first day was spent in chaos.

The King of Zhen did not sleep all night.

All night long, he discussed countermeasures with the civil and military ministers, trying to turn the tide, but during this time, bad news continued to come. The Kangguo army was advancing at an astonishing speed! Under the pressure of these bad news, the ministers who had originally said that they would live and die with the Zhenguo looked embarrassed and their beliefs were shaken! In the second half of the night, the palace servants brought midnight snacks, but everyone had no appetite, and ministers got up one after another to relieve themselves.

Then, and then no more.

  Gone never to return!

The empty space is very eye-catching!

The King of Zhen was able to suppress his anger at first, but as the number of people gradually increased, there were too many empty seats for him to ignore, and his emotions completely lost control. He flicked his sleeves and swept the unused, frozen snacks on the table to the ground, breaking the porcelain bowl and splashing stains. He laughed in anger and said, "Okay, okay - everyone, run away when disaster strikes!"

He slammed the table and broke it.

He scolded, "Zhen Kingdom has not been destroyed yet! They are all eager to accept the status of slaves of a conquered country. They are truly my loyal and trusted ministers who have been favored and employed by me for many years! If there is a day -"

  He will not spare any of these people’s clans!

The remaining ministers were frightened by the murderous intent in the king's eyes.

  Before dawn, 30% of the country's territory has been lost!

The speed of the Kangguo army slowed down, and the news finally made the King of Zhenguo, who had been on edge for a day and a night, breathe a sigh of relief. He dragged his tired body back to the inner court, but saw that the inner court was in a state of depression and was surprisingly quiet. Usually at this time of day, there would be palace servants sweeping the place and going in and out of the palaces to help the concubines get up and wash. Although it was quiet then, it was not as desolate as it is now.

It seemed as if the inner court had become an empty city overnight.

The King of Zhen State frowned and walked quickly towards the palace of his favorite concubine.

The place that was bustling a few days ago was now in a mess, empty as if it had been robbed. No, it was not this clean even after being robbed. He stepped into the palace and the first thing he looked for was the treasure rack. Where were the rare treasures he had collected for his favorite concubine on the rack? Not to mention the rare treasures, even the brocade bedding in the room had disappeared.

  As for the figure of the favorite concubine?

The ghosts are gone.

  What else don’t you know after seeing this scene?

“Husband and wife are birds of a feather, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes – ha, the disaster hasn’t even come yet, and these heartless bitches have already run away! All these years of love and care for them were in vain, but I actually raised an ungrateful bastard!” He laughed so hard that he couldn’t straighten his back, but his eyes were filled with terrifying murderous intent, like an extremely angry trapped beast, with only the killing instinct left after completely breaking free from the shackles!

With a swish, he pulled out the long sword from the palace servant holding the sword!

  With anger raging in his chest, he rushed through the palace with a sword in hand. On the way, he saw many palace maids carrying huge bags, preparing to flee. When had the palace maids ever seen a blood-soaked killer?

Before he could even kneel down and beg for mercy, he was stabbed in the throat with a sword.

Blood flowed out of the wound and formed a pool of blood.

"Bitch!"

"Bitch!"

"Bitch!"

The King of Zhen heard a strange noise in the hall and kicked open the palace door, catching a woman dressed as a commoner. The woman was frightened when she saw the King in such a state, and then another pretty girl ran out.

"Mother, get ready—" The girl stopped talking and took back her foot. As the King of Zhen pressed on, the two retreated. The girl didn't pay attention to her feet and tripped over the threshold when she retreated, falling to the ground in embarrassment.

The pain helped her regain some sanity from her fear.

She looked at the king with tearful eyes, silently begging for mercy. The king laughed in anger: "You are really my good wife and daughter! Where are you going to escape after you pack your things?"

Naturally, the two did not dare to answer.

They had already seen the body of the palace maid fallen behind the man.

How dare I anger the king?

"You betrayed me too! Bitch!"

After that, he raised his sword and stabbed the girl, who cried out in pain and begged for mercy. The sword pierced the woman's heart. Seeing the woman fall to the ground and gasp for breath, the king turned his attention to his own daughter. He said something despairing: "When a country is destroyed, the women in the family have never had a good ending. Rather than letting you live in humiliation, live in disgrace and bring disgrace to your ancestors, it is better for you to die now to preserve your reputation."

The girl obviously couldn't digest this sentence.

I can’t believe that after killing his wife, the biological father wanted to kill his daughter.

For a moment, she was so scared that tears and snot flowed down her face: "Father, father, please wake up - I am your daughter -"

As the sword approached, the girl sitting on the ground also moved back, constantly calling out "Father", trying to use this name to evoke the warmth between father and daughter in the past, to evoke a trace of pity and reluctance from him: "My daughter doesn't want to die yet, my daughter doesn't want to die!"

The king said indifferently: "It's just one sword, it doesn't hurt."

"My daughter is wrong, Father, my daughter is really wrong!"

The king ignored her pleas and angrily said, "Since you are born into a royal family, you should be prepared to live and die with the royal family! But you are afraid of death and really disappoint your father!"

Having said that, he raised the sword high.

The girl crossed her hands in front of her eyes and screamed.

The common people in the city were in panic.

They were cut off from the news and didn't even know that the enemy had attacked. They only knew that the atmosphere in the capital was very solemn these past two days, and they continued to live their lives as usual. It was not until the nobles who were rarely seen on weekdays and every household packed up a large amount of money and left the city that they realized something was wrong.

There were also those who were more informed, such as those who had relatives or friends working in the nobles' houses, who knew a little bit of the inside story, but not much. These people were smart and packed up their belongings early to leave the city.

  The nobles are all fleeing, which shows that something big is happening!

The last ray of afterglow disappeared, and the dragon under my feet turned over.

Just as everyone was shouting and running out of the house, someone saw a strange light in the dark sky. A loud noise and the sound of a dragon turning over also came from this direction: "What is that?"

If common people can see it, then the ruler of Zhen State can naturally see it too.

Common people don’t understand what it is, but he does!

At this moment, there was no one around him, either they had escaped or they had been killed. He stood alone on a tall building, looking at the light of battle at the end of the horizon. Even from such a distance, he could still clearly feel the violent martial spirit in the air, each of which was filled with high morale and endless murderous intent! The king's face was as pale as paper, wondering how the Kangguo army could arrive at the city so quickly.

  Is it possible that there is no one to resist on the road?

Haha, not really.

This is also a happy event that can make Qian Yong smile so much that his mouth is crooked.

If the King of Zhen had not stubbornly accused the garrison commander of colluding with Kang State, the other party would not have defected so easily.

Not only did he turn against his allies, he also readily helped to stab Zhen Guo.

  People know each other well, and the knife is fast and accurate!

The troops led by Qian Yong did not need to take a detour to attack the city, nor did they need to dismantle the military areas guarding the capital. They marched directly to the capital of the Kingdom of Zhen. From the beginning of the war to now, he was the commander who had the least time in the army. The generals Gong Xichou and others were responsible for leading the troops to charge into battle, and there were also generals who surrendered from the Kingdom of Zhen! If he could not be too lazy and had to draw his sword from time to time to chop off a few heads to make up the numbers, he could have eaten, drunk and watched the show.

Isn't it beautiful!

"Alas, this battle was the easiest one I have ever fought in my life, Old Qian. I wish future battles could be so easy and I could easily gain military merit." He murmured with some regret, and kept complaining in his heart about the group of kings of rolls under Shen Tang's command, who were so eager to gain military merit that they became cross-eyed, and were more active and enthusiastic in fighting than anyone else, fearing that they would be late for the battle and lose their lives.

He is different.

Be humble and remain calm in the face of praise or criticism.

Qian Yong boasted shamelessly as he slashed with his sword, killing several headless bodies. The guards behind him hurried after him, fearing that the marshal would forget about everything else after getting so focused on killing the leaders.

It is impossible to forget, Qian Yong remembers what he wants to do.

He led his troops all the way to the city.

The gate of the capital exploded under the impact of dozens of ice dragons, revealing a smooth path. The ice and snow melted, green vines sprouted, and giant pythons rushed through the city hole, violently knocking away all the warriors who blocked it. Wherever the cold snake eyes passed, dead buildings decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the warriors were more obviously affected - the dark green toxin shrouded in death quickly moved from the ends of the limbs to the heart!

In just a quarter of an hour, all the city gates of the royal capital fell.

The King of Zhen State has never suffered such a setback in his life.

The enemy attacked so fast that he had no time to negotiate and beg for mercy. They came to his doorstep, put a knife to his neck, and could take everything he had with just a flick of their fingers. How could they allow him to sacrifice a part of his property to save his life?

In the chaos, Qian Yong saw a figure jumping down from a height, and he recognized the other person at a glance. He leaped up, turned into a stream of light, and intercepted and rescued the person in full view of everyone.

"Fuck, I haven't had enough yet!"

A rough male voice exploded in the king's ears.

He did not have the courage to commit suicide, nor did he want to hang himself, so he chose to fall from a high place before the enemy broke into the royal court, which was also a tragic way to die. In the end, the expected death did not come.

He was rescued by a volunteer.

Judging from the strength of the martial energy that erupted from the righteous man's body, his strength was not strong, but not weak either. Perhaps he could protect himself and escape from the chaos! Death requires courage, and he had just used up all of it.

"righteous--"

The only one who can save himself at this critical moment is a righteous man.

The rest of his words came to an abrupt end the moment he saw Qian Yong's face, replaced by a strong disbelief and fear that penetrated his soul. Qian·Yishi·Yong grinned at him in the midst of the swords and the flames of war: "It's been a long time since we last met!"

Qian Yong had imagined this scene countless times when he was kicked out. Only after experiencing it for real did he know that no matter how good it was in his imagination, it was not as good as experiencing it in person! Looking at the person who had arrogantly humiliated him in the past, now with a ghost-like expression like a quail, the feeling of pleasure rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

The soul is about to fly!

"Why are you running? Let's reminisce about the past!" Qian Yong immediately subdued him to prevent him from committing suicide and ruining his mood. He bent down and patted the greasy face of the King of Zhen, frowned in disdain, retracted his hand, and wiped it vigorously on his skirt armor.

"Tsk! It's so dirty. I say you are the ruler of a country after all. Even though it's just a small country, you are not so poor that you can't afford to wash your face. Look at yourself, your face is thick, greasy and dirty. I'm going to wipe your face with a knife, and the oil and water scraped off can be used to maintain the blade." Qian Yong spoke as harshly as ever.

Just a few words made the King of Zhen so angry that he fainted.

He said in a hoarse voice: "Qian! Uncle! He!"

Qian Yong took off his scale armor slowly and picked his ears: "I'm not deaf, I'm listening. What nonsense do you have to say? Let's talk about it when we get to your house! Oh no, this is our army's temporary base, my lord's home, not yours!"

"A stray dog!"

"Slaves of a conquered nation!"

  |ω`)

I took the medicine.

Today, when I looked in the mirror and opened my mouth, I saw that both sides of my throat were obviously red and swollen. It hurts to swallow. It was so painful yesterday that I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
