Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 140

After escaping, Si Qin Yingming rushed to the palace almost immediately and asked to see his sister, Si Qin Ning.

It tells about the possibility of Li Zhurong preparing to surrender and rebel, especially the one-eyed Feng Qingshan who entered the room of right general Li Zhurong and did not appear for a long time.

"Based on this alone, you concluded that Li Zhurong was traitorous?" Si Qinning hated this kind of speculation, because she had been framed more than once.

Of course, she thought she was framed, but in fact it was an example like Yao Zongwen. She felt that she had been framed.

"Second sister, I would rather believe that there is something there than that that there is nothing. Be prepared. No matter whether Li Zhurong rebels or not, we must resolutely protect Hengdu and wait for my brother-in-law to come back."

Si Qin Yingming knew about Zhuang Xunfa's family history. Si Qin Mi's death was inseparable from the defection of Si Qin's family. As Zhuang Xun was favored by Si Qin Mi, he would not like to see the Si Qin family anyway. On the contrary, Nie Jin, who doted on Si Qin Ning, was moody, but as soon as Si Qin Ning mentioned it, he mentioned himself as a striker, which was regarded as taking him seriously.

"That's what you said. I'm going to discuss with the eunuchs and close the capital tightly and wait for Nie Jin to come back." Si Qin Ning also felt that Si Qin Yingming was right and made a decision immediately.

The eunuch Xu Houde knew that Zhuang Xun was coming. As soon as Si Qin Ning said that Li Zhurong might surrender, he immediately changed the possibility to yes. There was no supply of food and grass. He was the one who was most afraid of Zhuang Xun. Together with Si Qin Ning The city gates were ordered to be closed tightly and no entry or exit was allowed.

When Li Zhurong saw it, he was completely confused and simply surrendered. Zhuang Xun accepted it inexplicably. After another three or four days of preparation, he received the news that Li Rusi had charged into the formation and defeated the allied forces of the famous families, and he felt completely at ease.

Concentrate on preparing to capture the fortified city of Hengdu. There are not many defenders in the city. It is possible to capture the city by force, but it is difficult to capture.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Zhuang Xun sat at the table, surrounded by military generals on his left and right, including a group of people from Shangliangshan.

"The city of Heng is high, the food is sufficient, and King You is rushing to help outside. We need to win quickly. Simply prepare the siege equipment and attack the city immediately." He Heng proposed the most radical strategy and the most orthodox.

"The people of Hengdu have been suffering from King You for a long time. I took a humble position as a lobbyist and went to persuade the defenders to surrender." Now it was the turn of the second leader of Shangliangshan, the middle-aged Confucian scholar Yu Shaoshi.

"But be sure, don't let your life go to waste." Zhuang Xun felt that the other party had already suffered a loss from the lobbyist once, and he probably wouldn't suffer it again.

"I'm not sure, but Shao Shi didn't make any merit when he went to the Duke's tent. He petitioned to die to protect the Duke from taking Hengdu." Yu Shaoshi knelt down solemnly.

"It doesn't have to be like this. It's not very sure to make fun of your own life. You don't have to do this kind of thing." Zhuang Xun is not an opportunist, nor is he the kind of character who casually makes people die.

"Lang Jun, let's let Staff Yu try it. If it succeeds, it can also reduce the casualties of soldiers and civilians." Siqin Mi persuaded from the side.

"Well, then I'll bother you, Staff Officer Yu." Zhuang Xun obeyed Si Qinmi's advice, but when Si Qinmi persuaded him, he no longer persisted.

Everyone has become accustomed to this kind of situation. Generally speaking, Zhuang Xun will be looked down upon. But Zhuang Xun listens to Siqin Mi, who is virtuous and understands politics. That is different. He is not a sage monarch.

"The humble job must not disgrace the mission." Yu Shaoshi solemnly promised, not sure, but there is a determination to die.

It's just that Zhuang Xun didn't expect that the city gate would be opened in the afternoon after people put it in in the morning. He was still a little dreamy. He couldn't imagine that the bandits from Shangliang Mountain could be of such use.

The general guarding the city was Yu Shaoshi's distant cousin, who explained two things. First, if you don't surrender, you must fight. There are tens of thousands of troops outside the city, and it is a matter of time to break through Hengdu.Second, Zhuang Xun is a benevolent gentleman, and King You is an unscrupulous tyrant. Is it worth defending the city for such a tyrant?
Not to mention that you can't defend it in the first place, but what if you defend it? King You is nepotistic and only gets close to those monsters who do evil. No matter how great your heavenly power is, whenever he gets upset, his own relatives will be killed.

The truth is very shallow. Sometimes people just lack a reason, and Yu Shaoshi just gave one. Everyone voted, and everyone voted and lived a good life.

And for the sake of mobility and camouflage, most of the generals disguised as monsters were sent to the south by King You. Because they were fighting against an army shrouded in foreign luck and could not use monsters, naturally all the people left behind were humans.

Without the coercion of monsters, once the thought of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages occupies the mind, the so-called thinking is just thinking about the escape route.

Nie Jin did not expect that he planned to use his elite to fight against the ragtag army led by Zhuang Xun, and in the end he would end up with neither loser nor loser. He also did not expect that Li Zhurong would surrender out of fear of him.

Three or four years ago, Youguo was the country of destiny in Jizhou, and it was a powerful country in Jizhou. In just a few years, it has become alienated from its country and is no longer as strong as it was before. This may not have been expected by anyone.

Even if someone objects, they will end up with their heads beheaded in the end. There will be noisy and noisy, and the last thing to be sacrificed is Si Qin Yingming's head.

"The rebel general Siqin Yingming's head is clear. He is the one who has always opposed opening the city gate to welcome the king's master. He relies on his sister as the queen to point fingers. How can such an eagle and dog be able to talk about such an honorable matter?"

The general held his head high with eyes wide open, and Si Qin clearly showed that he didn't understand how he died until his death, or couldn't believe that this person dared to kill him.

"Where's the Siqin family?" Si Qinmi stood beside Zhuang Xun and asked proactively, just asking out of habit, because that was someone related to her, and she didn't feel sad at all. The person she died once, Where can such feelings exist.

"It has already been connected to the royal city. Currently, the royal city is guarded by the palace guards and has not surrendered." The general replied, with his head low and short, knowing that the ugly woman in front of him was Zhuang Xun's wife.

Zhuang Xun took her hand, thinking she was sad, and scratched her palm.

"I'm fine." Si Qinmi smiled at Zhuang Xun. The small episode did not affect their continued attack.

The army moved forward and entered the city.

Prepare to destroy the ancestral temple and cut off the dragon's veins. By then, the fortune of the You Kingdom will decline greatly, and it will become the state of the Yu Kingdom, where the fate of the country is dispersed first.

Next, we will study how to capture the royal city and completely occupy the main capital, so that we can cut off the connection between the north and the south, cut off the food and fodder of the You Kingdom army in the north, and encircle You King Nie Jin in the south.

The guards of the palace should not be as easy to instigate rebellion as those in the outer city. Zhuang Xun couldn't understand the two consecutive successes. How could this country of You be more Siqin Shengjing than Siqin Shengjing, and he had a bone all over his body? ?

He looked at Yao Zongwen, who turned out to be the palace guard. Yao Zongwen also noticed Zhuang Xun's gaze and stepped forward to ask for help. He accomplished such an exciting feat and destroyed You Kingdom.

Many of his colleagues, like him, have worked as palace guards in You country for generations. His experience will definitely arouse the indignation of these court guards and make them turn to the light.

"In my humble position, I would like to go to the palace to persuade you to surrender."

"it is good……"

The most worry-free way is that he has somewhat experienced Liu Bang's pleasure in going all the way to Xianyang. He can gain territory, occupy cities, and have smooth sailing with just his words.

"Comrades, do you still remember the Yao family governor?" He showed his face generously, under the city wall, within the range of the arrow.

"It's Yao Guard. You actually betrayed the royal family. Have you forgotten the importance of eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor?" Xu Houde was supervising the battle on the city wall. When he saw this situation, he screamed inwardly.

"My Yao family is loyal and devoted to the You Kingdom for generations. The You King was violent and fed my Yao family to the mouth of monsters for no reason. The female family was humiliated in every possible way. I was lucky to escape. Now I honor the king's teacher to conquer the tyrant. Please think about it. "

All the palace guards looked at each other in shock, and their personal statements were indeed shocking.

"Guards, generals, this man tried to seduce the queen and ran away after being discovered. Don't believe one thing!" Xu Houde said loudly, not caring about the queen's reputation. When the palace is breached, the queen will die.

"Commander Zhang, what did Wang Zuoshi say? The whole family disappeared and fell into a monster cave. The men were killed by monsters, and the women were humiliated and molested. What happened to those who loyally served the country? How do you know that you and your family are not safe when you are guarding here? To die at the mouth of a demon and not be teased by a demon? Is this a country of humans or a country of demons?"

The sound of shouting came close to shouting out the dissatisfaction buried in the hearts of countless people. Loyalty was betrayed in an instant.

"These are all people who made their own mistakes. You receive royal salaries and have been loyal to the royal family for generations. Don't make mistakes on your own."

These two people were against Nie Jin's choice to resign and stay at home. Xu Houde had no choice but to clean up. Neither of them made any mistakes, so he could only use slogans to strengthen these people.

"To be able to climb so fast, one must frame others." The position of the palace guards wavered, and suddenly someone among them said, and then the entire palace guards looked at Xu Houde differently. "I heard from the eunuchs that this Smiling Tiger is the most insidious and cunning. Should we listen to him? Will we be betrayed by him?" Someone else said, but I don't know who it is from the palace guard?

"Are you going to rebel? Do you also want to go to the monster cave? The men in the family are dead and the women are molested?" Xu Houde said in a panic. He was not calm and timid.

At this time, Yao Zongwen's words were basically judged to be true. Many people looked horrified. There were vague rumors, and there was a gap between what was said openly and openly.

Xu Houde's expression became more and more frightened, because he was about to follow in the footsteps of Siqin Yingming, a mere outsider, gesticulating here, who do you think you are.

At the critical moment, a dark cloud was swept by the black wind. A young man wearing a black dragon robe stood out from the black cloud, it was Youwang Nie Jin.

"I want to see who of you dares to surrender!" The evil wind blew loudly, blowing the soldiers outside the palace to stagger. King You's voice was like a broken drum in the wind, hoarse and terrifying.

He landed on the tower, glaring at everyone below, with black energy surging around his body, looking like a ferocious demon king.

Stretching out his hand to grab it, he broke the neck of the palace guard commander, and shocked almost all the palace guards. Many people showed fearful expressions when facing the monster-like King You.

This kind of evil tyrant, who would not be filled with fear and surrender, after all, human power is no match for the power of the demon, even people like Li Zhurong showed sincere terror on their expressions.

"Your Majesty, you are finally back. If you don't come back, I don't know what I will do. These damn palace guards actually want to rebel. They are really brave. If they want to rebel, Your Majesty will kill them. Kill them quickly. These traitors."

Xu Houde was speaking incoherently, kneeling in front of Nie Jin and accusing the palace guard who was not determined just now. He was frightened just now and almost thought he was going to die.

"Bang!" Xu Houde was kicked by King You like a kite with its string broken, and was thrown in front of Zhuang Xunyi and others.

"Noisy." The evil spirit is overflowing, and the evil demon god is dressed in graceful clothes.

Vomiting blood and looking frightened, Xu Houde felt like his life was draining away. He faced Nie Jin on the tower with unbelievable fear. He was like a dog. After barking twice too many times, the owner was unhappy and kicked him to death.

He looked like Siqin Yingming's head. He swayed twice and saw Zhuang Xun so close at hand. The vicious hatred in his eyes never left until he died.

"Be it Cheng Guo, how dare you, Yu Guo, with your meager luck, stop me?" Nie Jin said disdainfully, in a very soft tone that everyone could hear clearly.

And he had an ominous premonition. The thousands of bird demons behind King You were really terrifying, large and small, covering the sky and the sun.

"Go ahead, kill these idiots..." Following King You's words, a large number of bird-like monsters rushed towards Zhuang Xun's army.

Li Zhurong and other surrendered generals were even more paralyzed and about to kneel down. The memory of these ferocious and strange birds was too profound for them.

However, the cold light was prominent and the spell was dimmed. The ferocious strange birds were smashed to pieces by the magic weapons, leaving only normal crow corpses.

"How dare you dare to act evil here!" Seven or eight monks in Taoist robes stepped out of the air, the magic in their hands shook, and the evildoer was strangled and stepped back.

"What are these?" Zhuang asked He Jung, thinking he was going to take action.

"Practitioners who practice in seclusion, Youguo is full of monsters, and they come to kill monsters and make meritorious deeds. These monsters usually pretend to be human beings, and they have the luck of the dynasty. The practitioners can't do anything to them, but once they reveal their monster bodies, they can't do anything to them." It means that practitioners can attack them without being blinded by the dynasty's luck." He Zheng explained the current situation, and Zhuang Xun nodded half-understood.

"Lord chickens and tile dogs." King You stretched out his hand, and a ball of green fire burned toward the practitioners.

The practitioners dodged the green fire like snakes and scorpions, and the division of labor was obvious. Some of them attracted the fire, and some of them controlled the magic weapons, and attacked Nie Jin directly.

The sky became their battlefield and performance ground, and the gorgeous spells attracted attention. Zhuang Xun and his group became the audience watching the battle. Everyone knew that the outcome above would determine the outcome below.

Nie Jin dodged, but with one enemy against many, there was always a gap.

Two rays of light, as bright as the moon, hit King You at the same time without him paying attention. Mortals were too quick to see clearly, but several practitioners showed expressions of relief.

A tyrannical force knocked the two attacking practitioners away and hit the ground hard, unable to move.

"Why do you still have the luck of the dynasty in you? You have used so many demonic methods." Two monks flew down and picked up the monk who was stunned by the luck of the dynasty and couldn't move. They couldn't understand.

"That's because I am a human being, and I am the destined emperor. If you take action against me, you will naturally be retaliated by the fate of the dynasty." King You laughed loudly, and the conspiracy succeeded.

"How can you still be a human being with such a high level of cultivation? Whether you are cultivating immortals or cultivating demons, you have already separated yourself from the status of a mortal."

The practitioners were shocked, how could someone have both profound cultivation and the status of a mortal emperor? These two things were simply incompatible.

They also acted after seeing King You's demonic aura, but they didn't expect King You to be a "human" emperor recognized by the fate of the country.

"Haha, after killing all the clan brothers, the fate of the entire You Kingdom is concentrated in my body. Even the star kings in the sky can't help but come to me. How dare you, unenlightened people, attack me?" Nie Jin laughed proudly, His laughter was mingled with the screams of the harpies.

The sun was scorching in the sky, but the scene was like hell.

Although people did not understand the meaning of dynasty luck, they knew that Nie Jin, who was now unable to defeat the demon of the Immortal family, expressed despair and fear. Some slumped on the ground, some knelt down and begged for mercy, and some knelt down begging for mercy.

"Mr. Lang, keep the green hills here. Don't be afraid of running out of firewood. Let He Xianren take you away and let Xuannu think of a way." Si Qinmi was also a little desperate. He never expected such a scene. These practitioners added Together they can't defeat King You.

"It's okay..." Zhuang Xun patted Si Qinmi's hand to reassure her.

Zhuang Xun walked forward, and the soldiers guarding him moved out of the way. Siqin Mi held his hand and was broken free: "Trust me."

"Are you asking for death? Do you want to beg me to let your family go and let your subordinates go?" Nie Jin stood proudly in the air with a sinister and vicious smile.

"Don't worry, the rumored monster cave is true. I will not let go of any of you. Traitors, traitors who are still alive, and soldiers who dare to invade You Country will not be let go. All of them will be fed to the monsters. All of them will die..." Threatened and threatened, trying to find expressions of horror on people's faces. Others looked horrified. Nie Jin was very satisfied, but Zhuang Xun had no expression on his face.

"Are you scared to death? You don't dare to speak. Since you came to die on your own initiative, I heard that you and your wife are deeply in love. I can reward you for being buried with her and becoming our You Kingdom's conqueror of the world. nourishment."

King You vented his villainous ambition wantonly, perhaps because he was used to being bullied by others before, and he liked the joy of bullying and humiliating others.

"You don't have the appearance of a king. How can Jiuzhou be handed over to a mantis spirit like you?" Zhuang Xun shook his head. How could Nie Jin look like a monarch?

"What are you talking about! Do you know that you will die miserably? I will throw you into the cave of ten thousand snakes, let ten thousand poisonous tongues bite you, devour your flesh and blood, and grind you into powder." Zhuang heard that When asked, Nie Jin was very angry.

"I don't know, but I know..." Zhuang Xun held the hand scroll given by Mrs. Jiang tightly, and the blue bird pattern slowly glowed.

"Sword come!"

The white rainbow coming from the west penetrated Nie Jin's chest, and the long sword stuck straight into the ground in front of Zhuang Xun.

"Poof!" Nie Jin was stunned and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The bird demon swarmed up to stop the practitioners one by one. He clutched his chest and fled to the depths of the palace.
