Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 53 Donghu: We Converted to the Lich King

(The previous chapter was changed by 700 words)

Li Mu led more than a thousand armored soldiers and marched five hundred meters out of the camp in a heroic and confident manner to confront the surrounding Donghu cavalry.

"Where is your Great Chanyu?"

Looking at the Donghu cavalry in front of him who were fully equipped with weapons and armor, Li Mu immediately shouted.

Huang Pi Chanyu rode out from the cavalry, looked at Li Mu and said with a smile: "General Li Mu, how are you?"

"Humph!" Li Mu snorted coldly and asked directly, "Huangpi Chanyu, what is your intention in surrounding our military camp so early in the morning? Are you trying to start a war with our Zhao State?"

Huang Xiong shook his head. "Please forgive me, General Li Mu. Things are different now. I can only surround you!"

"What do you mean by 'time is different now'? Don't forget that we swore to the Wolf God you believe in when we joined forces this time. Are you going to go back on your word now?" Li Mu sneered and even mentioned the oath Huang Binshu swore to the Wolf God in the letter.

This is the belief of the Donghu people. If Huang Pi breaks his oath to the Wolf God, the Chanyu's prestige and credibility will suffer a great blow.

Huang Xiong: "That's why I said things are different now! In the past, we Donghu people believed in the Wolf God, but now we Donghu have all converted to believe in the Lich King!"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Li Mu was stunned for a moment. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Huang Xiong: "Huang Xiong Chanyu, what do you mean by this?"

Huang Xiong spread his hands and said, "Literally, I, the Dong Hu, have submitted to the great Lich King. From now on, I will follow his lead."

"..." Li Mu's face turned dark, and he immediately mocked: "So you Donghu people can change your beliefs at will!"

"Of course not!"

Huang Xiong quickly shook his head to deny it, and then said with a firm look on his face: "Our faith in the great Lich King will not change."

"..."Li Mu.

Looking at Huang Xiong's appearance, Li Mu saw a strong desire to survive.

After thinking for a while, Li Mu's face darkened and he asked solemnly, "So, the Lich King's undead army is here too!"

Huang Xiong nodded: "Yes, the 700,000 undead troops sent by the great Lich King have already arrived here and are stationed on the banks of the Xilamulun River, only 20 miles away from us."

"Oh, by the way, what happened in your army last night was done by the great Lich King who sent the Undead. These soldiers behind you now are all you can bring with you!"

“……” Li Mu was silent again.

He had some guesses when he came out, and now he was sure.

It has been a conspiracy since the rumor appeared.

At this time, Li Mu became even more worried. He thought that the State of Zhao was doomed!
Li Mu immediately said: "I want to see the commander of the undead!"

Huang Xiong heard this and nodded, saying, "The great Lich King has been waiting for you! Please follow me!"

Lich King!
Li Mu was shocked.

He really didn't expect that the Lich King would come in person.

-----------

On the banks of the Xilamulun River.

Li Mu followed Huang Xiong here, but did not see any undead army, or even a single undead. There was only a huge car frame parked alone by the river.

Huang Pi brought Li Mu to the front of the carriage, knelt down respectfully, and said, "Donghu Chanyu Huang Pi, kowtows to the Lich King. Zhao general Li Mu wants to see the Lich King. He has been brought here." Li Mu hesitated for a moment, then saluted the carriage. "Zhao's defeated general Li Mu wants to see you!"

Fusu's voice came from the carriage: "Li Mu, come in, Huang Pi, you can leave!"

"I'm leaving now!" Upon hearing this, Huang Pi took his leave immediately and left quickly.

Looking at the car in front of him that was bigger than a house, Li Mu straightened his chest, pulled open the curtain and got in.

Inside the frame, in the center, there was a chessboard about ten feet square. A handsome young man was standing in front of the chessboard, looking at it intently.

Li Mu did not speak, but silently came to the chessboard and carefully looked at the layout of the chess pieces on it.

As a famous general, he also knows a thing or two about chess.

But the chess situation on the board was completely incomprehensible to him.

It's not that this chess game is so mysterious, but the chess game above is as messy as a pile of dog shit. No matter whether it is white or black chess, there is no military strategy at all.

Fusu saw that Li Mu had finished his observation, so he asked, "General Li Mu, you are a famous general. How do you think we should play this chess game?"

Hearing this, Li Mu did not answer, but stared at Fusu with burning eyes and asked: "It depends on what the chessboard is like? What are the white pieces? What are the black pieces like?"

Fusu smiled and said, "If this chessboard is the world, white is life, and black is death, how can we decide the winner?"

Li Mu pondered for three seconds, shook his head and said, "There is no victory or defeat. Life and death do not interfere with each other and cannot meet each other. Just like the black and white pieces in the cup outside the chessboard, they are not mixed! How can they appear on the chessboard!"

After saying this, Li Mu looked at Fusu with burning eyes.

What this means is that since Fusu controls the dead, he should not interfere in the world of the living.

"Non-interference with each other ~ is that right?" Fusu asked himself and waved at the chessboard.

The white and black pieces on the chessboard stretched out their heads and legs and crawled back into the black and white pieces cups beside the chessboard. The chessboard became empty. The black and white chess pieces turned out to be black and white corpse worms.

"That's true!" Li Mu nodded.

Fusu: "If so, then what is the point of this chessboard? If the pieces don't fall on the board, what is the meaning of the chessboard? Just like life and death are not between heaven and earth! What is the meaning of heaven and earth?"

"This!" Li Mu was speechless when he heard this.

After thinking for three seconds, Li Mu said, "Life and death complement each other. Without life, there would be no death! Therefore, this chess game should be a draw."

"Draw?" Fusu asked in confusion, "What do you think a draw is?"

Li Mu said with a firm look on his face: "We should keep our distance and not interfere with each other!"

"Oh! Is that so?" Fusu smiled, and with a wave of his hand, the corpse worms in the two chess cups climbed onto the chessboard again, clearly distributed on the north and south sides of the chessboard, without a trace of confusion.

Li Mu nodded and said, "Of course!"

Fusu shook his head and said, "But I don't think it should be like this! Life and death happen all the time in the world, but how many are eliminated naturally? Even if there are no black pieces, it means that the white pieces are also being eliminated. Does that mean that there are black pieces among these white pieces? How can there be a clear distinction?"

"This!" Li Mu was speechless again. This time he couldn't find any words to refute.

He knew that what Fusu was actually talking about was the mutual conquests among the vassal states, and he compared the kings, princes and generals to black chess pieces hidden in the white chess pieces, referring to the oppression of the people by the nobles.

Today, most people die from war, disease and poverty.

Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "The chessboard is limited, so naturally only the fittest will survive."
