Chapter 397

The Sky Eye spy did indeed send Tang Yin's letter of advice to Jian City, and it did fall into the hands of the city lord Qiu Yue TXT download.

After reading this letter of advice, Qiu Yue called in all his officials and staff to discuss countermeasures.

Qiu Yue is a person without any opinion. Now he knows that Zhong Tian and Ning Jun are near Jian City, and he also knows that there are a large number of Tianyuan Army pursuers behind them, but he doesn't know what decision he should make now. Should he remain loyal to Zhong Tian or turn his back to Tang Yin?

After his officials and staff saw the letter of advice, everyone's expressions changed. Some people were surprised: "This... this is a letter written by Tang Yin... So Tang Yin has led the main force of the Tianyuan Army to pursue him. ”

"It must be like this..." Qiu Yue responded feebly.

"In the opinion of my subordinates, the Ning Army cannot resist the main force of the Tianyuan Army. Your Majesty... no, Zhong Tian cannot resist it. Your Excellency, we should seal the city tightly now and must not let Zhong Tian enter the city. This will set us on fire." !”

"This..." Qiu Yue also had such a plan in his heart, but he was also a little worried when he was told to keep the king Zhong Tian away from the city. He asked with concern: "Then... what if the other party forces an attack on the city?"

"I don't think so. Although our city defenders only have more than a thousand people, Zhong Tian and Ning's troops are not large, and they have traveled a long distance, and they are exhausted. We are waiting for work, and we have the city wall as a barrier. It is not easy to attack by force. Now that Tianyuan Army is behind Zhong Tian and Ning Army and is personally commanded by Tang Yin, Zhong Tian and Ning Army do not have the courage to attack our Jian City easily. "

After the staff member finished speaking, others nodded, thinking that he was right.

Qiu Yue took a breath and asked other people's opinions. The other officials and staff had basically the same opinions as the person just now. They all believed that given the current situation, they must sever ties with Zhong Tian no matter what, otherwise they would be digging their own graves and pushing Jian Cheng into a pit of fire.

When one or two people said this, Qiu Yue might still be a little hesitant, but when everyone said this, Qiu Yue was completely determined. He nodded heavily, looked around at everyone, and said: "Okay! According to everyone's opinion, this time I have put the lives of my whole family and the people in the city on the line. I hope God will open his eyes and keep my Jian City safe. "

"My lord is wise!" Everyone did not have as many worries as Qiu Yue, and in their opinion, now was the best time to join the Tianyuan Army.

Tang Yin commanded 10,000 Qingqi and 60,000 Sky Eagle troops and set out south to pursue them again. Zhong Tian and Ning Jun also got the news. Although they had rested for most of the day, the whole army had not recovered from fatigue at all, but no matter how tired they were, they did not dare to rest anymore. The 20,000 defeated soldiers had to get up one after another and march towards Jiancheng.

According to Zhan Wushuang's wishes, he could not stop even if he entered Jian City. After replenishing his supply of food and grass, he would pass directly through the city. If he stopped and was blocked in the city by the Tianyuan Army, something bad would happen. Not far away, another spy came from behind, this time it was from Peng Jun.

After the detective saw Zhong Tian, ​​he knelt down with a plop and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened..." The detective general Zhong Tian's father was beheaded by the Tianyuan Army, and his head was hung on the commander's flag, and Zhong Tian told the story exactly how Tang Yin assigned the concubines to the generals of the Tianyuan Army.

After hearing the news, Zhong Tian's head buzzed, his eyes turned black, and he almost fainted on the spot. Seeing Zhong Tian's body shaking repeatedly, the guards around him hurriedly stepped forward to support him and called out repeatedly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."

"Wow!"

Zhong Tian felt a heat welling up between his chest and abdomen, and then his throat felt sweet, and he opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of blood.

"Oh... Tang Yin bullied me too much..." These words were squeezed out from Zhong Tian's teeth.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"

"Father--" At this time, Zhong Wu was also supported by the guards. He clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth and said: "Let me go and fight to the death with Tang Yin!" Zhong Wu fought with Wu Guang, and the two of them were Both sides were injured in the fight, and Zhong Wu's injuries were not light now. Let alone fighting, he had to rely on help even to move around.

After hearing what he said, Zhong Tian was even more sad and burst into tears. For a moment, Zhong Tian seemed to have aged more than ten years. He grabbed Zhong Wu's shoulders with trembling hands and said in a trembling voice: "Father, now You are the only relative left. If something happens to you again, how will your father survive..."

After hearing this, Zhong Wu couldn't help but shed tears. He bent his legs and knelt down in front of Zhong Tian. With tears streaming down his chest, he choked and said: "My son is incompetent and cannot help my father to solve his problems..."

Seeing the father and son Zhong Tian and Zhong Wu crying together, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi didn't have the slightest sympathy, they just felt extremely bored.

The two looked at each other, and Zhan Wushuang winked at his brother. Zhan Wudi understood. He quickly walked up to Zhong Tian and Zhong Wu and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I would like to express my condolences! Now is not the time to feel sad. If we delay any longer, when the Tianyuan Army comes to chase us, we will all It’s hard to get out.”

Hearing this, Zhong Tian trembled and said nothing. Zhong Wu raised his head angrily and glared at Zhan Wudi. The latter was startled by his fierce eyes, but was not afraid of him. He mocked Youyou and said, "If His Highness feels that he can defeat Tang Yin's thousands of troops, it doesn't matter if we delay here any longer."

"You..." Zhong Wu had been enduring the arrogance of Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi to the limit, and now they all burst out. He stood up and grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist. His two tiger eyes turned scarlet due to congestion.

Zhan Wudi didn't take his anger seriously at all. He squinted at him and asked with a sneer: "What are you going to do, Your Highness?"

"What? I..." Zhong Wu was about to draw his sword while speaking. At this time, Zhong Tian calmed down first, took the lead, pressed Zhong Wu's wrist, and shouted: "Wu'er, don't be rude." As he spoke, he looked at Zhan Wudi again, without smiling, and said: "Wu'er is young, and I hope the general will not be offended if I offend him."

"Hmph! No problem, as long as the king can move faster and don't waste our time." After speaking, Zhan Wudi glared at Zhong Wu fiercely and left with a wave of his sleeves.

Zhong Tian's current situation is both pitiful and lamentable. In front of Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, he is not a king at all, and is even worse than a dog. The reason why the Zhan brothers are willing to take him as a burden is entirely in accordance with the wishes of King Ning.

His father was killed, his head and body were separated, and his wives and concubines were divided and humiliated. This is a great shame for any man, not to mention that Zhong Tian is still a king. Unfortunately, he is now unable to take revenge, and he doesn't even have time to feel sad. In front of the arrogant Zhan brothers, he has already lost his heart. At this time, he can also foresee the treatment he will receive even if he escapes to Ningguo.

Cooperating with the Ning people is really a conspiracy with the tiger, but now Zhong Tian regrets it too late.

The Ning army took Zhong Tian to Jiancheng. The journey of only ten miles was really difficult for the Ning army at this time. This was also the most difficult march that Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi had ever experienced.

Looking up, the Ning army had already lost its square formation, and the flags were almost all lost. The troops were scattered, with a group in the east and a group in the west. Some soldiers wore armor, and some only wore military uniforms. Many soldiers were so tired that they ached all over and could not use any strength. They were supported by their companions and limped along.

It was hard to believe that the 400,000 Ning troops who had come with such a fierce and arrogant momentum had now ended up in this situation. They did not look like an army, but more like refugees fleeing famine.

There was no need to say more about the hardships on the road. The 20,000 exhausted Ning troops finally arrived at Jiancheng before dark. Looking up, the gates of Jiancheng were closed, the suspension bridge was suspended high, and the city walls were lined with soldiers and armor, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Seeing this scene, Zhan Wushuang, Zhan Wudi and Zhong Tian suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts.

No matter what, this place still belongs to Zhong Tian, ​​and he must take out the king's carriage. He turned his head and said to a general behind him: "General Lu Ji!"

"I am here! What does the king want?"

"Go to the city and tell the officials in the city to go out and greet him!"

"Yes! Your Majesty."

The general agreed and rushed out on his horse.

Because the drawbridge had been suspended, Lu Ji ran to the moat, reined in his horse, looked up at the top of the city wall, and shouted loudly: "Is the Lord Qiu of Jiancheng on the city wall?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone poked his head out from behind the arrow slits of the tower and asked: "I am Qiu Yue, who is the general outside the city?"

"Lu Ji!" Lu Ji shouted, "The king is outside the city, why don't you go out of the city to greet him?"

"King? Which king?"

Hearing this, Lu Ji was so angry that he wanted to curse. He shouted: "How dare you, how many kings do you say there are in my Peng country?"

Qiu Yue laughed dryly and said: "General Lu Ji, I think you misunderstood. As a minister of Feng, I naturally only recognize the kings of Feng country. Your Majesty, as for the so-called Peng Jun, in my opinion, he is a traitor who stole the Feng Kingdom. I do not recognize him. General Lu Ji, please go back! "

"Ah?"

When Lu Ji heard this, he was furious. He grabbed the war spear and pointed at Qiu Yue on the top of the city. He said angrily: "Bold Qiu Yue, you actually defected to the rebels. What crime should you be punished for?"

Qiu Yue's face sank, and he said coldly: "The Tianyuan Army is the orthodox of my Dafeng, and you are the rebels! Lu Ji, you go back quickly and don't show off your ability to talk. Otherwise, I will shoot you!"

"Man! Villain! Traitor!"

Lu Ji's eyes were red at this time, and all the curse words he could think of were used.

Qiu Yue snorted coldly and shouted: "Shoot the arrows, shoot this thief!"

The officials around him couldn't help it. After hearing Qiu Yue's order, everyone shouted together: "Shoot! Shoot!"
