Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 20 Zulong: The traitor, look at the sword

After Fusu's carriage left Yiqiu, it kept moving day and night without rest. All the common people he met along the way avoided him and reported to the authorities for help.

Naturally, the carriage team was stopped by the Qin army many times, but fortunately, there was an order to pass the customs, so no misunderstandings occurred.

It took only five days for the carriage team to enter Xianyang. The people in the city looked at these undead cavalry and the skeleton saber-toothed tigers pulling the carriages, and felt the cold deathly aura of the undead. They all stayed away from them and closed their doors, fearing that these dead would suddenly attack them or that they would be contaminated by their bad luck.

"Your Majesty, the Lich King's troops set out from Yiqu Pass five days ago!"

In Qilin Hall, in the court, a messenger came hurriedly to report.

Upon hearing the report, Zulong and all the civil and military officials in the court suddenly looked serious.

Now meeting the Lich King has become the top priority for the Qin State, and everyone must be prepared.

After all, the other party had an army of 1.2 million stationed outside Yiqiu Pass. Any negligence would be a huge blow to the Qin Dynasty, and might even cause it to be unable to recover.

Although the intelligence states that the Lich King is Fusu, everyone knows that it is just a self-proclaimed title and may not really be Fusu. Moreover, even if it is Fusu, the significance it can represent may be big or small.

"Look, how should we greet the Lich King?"

After listening to the report, Zulong asked the ministers.

"Your Majesty, I think we should welcome the Lich King with the highest state ceremony and not give him an excuse to cause trouble!"

The left prime minister Feng Quji immediately stepped out and spoke.

"Your Majesty, I think that's not possible! Although the Lich King is a king, he is also your Majesty's eldest son. Giving him the highest ritual and music to welcome his son is not in line with the ancestral rules. We must not destroy the ritual and music! It will cause the world to laugh at and despise us!"

Right Prime Minister Wang Wan immediately stepped forward to oppose it.

This is also what they are discussing now. The Lich King is the king, and he has deployed millions of soldiers outside Yiqu. His intention to threaten Qin is very obvious. Once the war starts, it will have a huge impact on the Qin State.

However, the Lich King also claimed to be Fusu, the eldest son of Zulong. Using the highest etiquette was against etiquette. It would be criticized for a father to treat his son with the highest courtesy, which would also have an impact on Daqin and Zulong.

"Report!" Just as Feng Quji and Wang Wan were about to start their daily quarrel, another messenger shouted into the hall and reported to Zulong: "Your Majesty, the Lich King's carriage has entered Xianyang!"

"What?"

Upon hearing the soldier's report, Zulong was stunned, and so were all the civil and military officials in the court.

The Xin army set out from Yiqiu. There were only a few soldiers riding fast horses with light equipment, and they traveled almost day and night. They also changed horses at the post stations, but it still took them five full days to reach Xianyang.

But just as the messenger arrived, the news of the Lich King's arrival came right after. This was a team of carriages, and they arrived as fast as the messenger on the galloping horses.

"The Lich King has arrived. There is no time for further discussion. We will greet him with inferior courtesy!"

Zulong thought for a few seconds and then made the decision.

After hearing this, no one from the other ministers objected. It was useless to object now. The Lich King had already entered Xianyang. Even if they wanted to go out of the city to greet him with the highest etiquette, it was unconditional. At most, they could just go out of the palace to greet him.

"Is that the undead?"

Outside the Xianyang Palace, a group of ministers stretched their necks to watch the carriage slowly approaching on the empty street ahead, exclaiming in amazement.

Even though they were still hundreds of meters away, he could still see the translucent ghost knights in the team.

On the street, three hundred cavalrymen were escorting a huge carriage towards the Xianyang Palace. The people on both sides of the street saw these deadly, even translucent undead cavalrymen, and they all ran away, trying to avoid them. Soon, Fusu's carriage stopped at the gate of the Xianyang Palace.

At the signal of the Chief Justice Li Si, the musicians played melodious music.

Amid the curious gazes of the ministers, a female ghost with a translucent body pulled open the carriage curtain, and Fusu, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked out of the carriage.

Next to the carriage frame, the corpse tiger and the corpse wolf immediately came to the shaft and lay down, acting as steps.

Fusu walked down from the carriage with Maodun, walked towards Zulong, and said with a smile: "Zulong! I'm back! Did you miss me?"

Hearing the name Zulong, a # suddenly appeared on Zulong’s forehead.

Looking at Fusu walking towards him, Zulong suddenly smiled and said happily: "It's good that you're back! You've suffered all these years!"

"Rebellious son, look at the sword!"

However, when Fusu walked in front of Zulong, Zulong suddenly drew the long sword from his waist and chopped at Fusu on the head.

"Snapped!"

Facing the sudden attack of Zulong, Fusu immediately raised his hands and clasped them together, and directly caught the blade with his bare hands, steadily catching the long sword that Zulong chopped down.

"Escort!"

Seeing this, the surrounding generals and guards drew their weapons and rushed over, pointing their weapons at Fusu and the three hundred undead cavalrymen guarding the carriage.

The Qin warriors continued to pour out from the surrounding streets and surrounded all the undead.

"Xilulu!"

The high-ranking Undead Cavalrymen guarding the carriages also drew their bows and arrows and aimed at Zulong, or drew their weapons and aimed at the soldiers surrounding them.

The undead warhorses neighed rhythmically, their hooves constantly stamping the ground, ready to charge at any time.

At this moment, the melodious music also stopped.

A murderous atmosphere filled the air, and the ministers behind Zulong were looking at Zulong and Fusu in the middle nervously.

"Father, I am here to visit you as a king. There are 1.2 million undead troops outside Yiqu Pass, and there are more than 1 million in the Yinshan Mountains. So we should wait until we enter the Xianyang Palace before we can meet as father and son! I also brought corn and potato seeds, as well as some other things. Each of them is very important to the Qin State."

Looking at the tense atmosphere around him, Fusu said with a smile.

Hearing Fusu's blunt threat, Zulong wanted to kick him away.

"Okay!" Zulong was silent for three seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "I hope the corn and potatoes you mentioned are as productive as you said!"

"It will surprise my father!" Fusu said confidently and released his hands.

At the same time, the undead behind also put away their weapons.

"I hope so!" Zulong took back his sword and put it back into the scabbard. He waved his hand to the surroundings, and the generals put away their weapons one after another. The surrounding guards also raised their spears and returned to their respective positions.

"Ritual music!" When the roar faded away, the Court Justice Li Si quickly signaled the musicians to continue playing.

The melodious music sounded again.

To the sound of music, Fusu and Zulong walked side by side, followed by civil and military ministers and a dozen high-level undead, and they entered the palace together.
