Chapter 183 Are You Convinced?
Under the surging water, the Qin army camp towering on the high ground stood motionless.
The water passed everywhere and submerged everything. The sound of all things, so far, is nothing but the waves rolling back.
Across the bank, the two heads of the farmhouse still couldn't calm down.
"What's wrong with Xia Kui?"
With a trembling sound, Tian Mi didn't even know what kind of emotion she was feeling in her heart at this moment. Tian Mi could feel what was hidden behind the restless heart in this depressing atmosphere, just like bamboo shoots springing up after the rain, wanting to break through all obstacles and burst out of the earth.
"he died!"
What Tian Mi was thinking finally became clear as Sheng Qi's cold words settled.
Ambition!
"Impossible." Tian Mi immediately denied it, still full of confidence in her words. How could such a powerful hero die like this?
That was a strong man who single-handedly controlled one hundred thousand disciples of the peasant family. There were so many rebellious masters who were obedient under Xia Kui's hands. How could he die like this?
"No one can survive death, not even the hero." Sheng Qi still said to himself, but it seemed as if he was telling a fact, a fact that he had never seen before.
"When Xiakui led the peasant disciples into this wilderness, the final outcome was already determined."
"Then what's the purpose of your coming here, to wipe out us for Prince Qin?"
Zhu Jia, who had been silent just now, said this, but his words confirmed the fact that Xia Kui was dead.
"Zhu family, you..."
"I haven't overestimated my capabilities enough to deal with you two alone." Ignoring Tian Mi, Sheng Qi said mockingly.
"Then why did you come?"
The Zhu family felt a little reassured, but then they became even more confused. Since Shengqi didn't come to kill him, then why did he appear here?
"Think about it! The leader of heroes is dead, what will happen to the farm family with one hundred thousand disciples? No one of the six hall masters obeys anyone, but there is only one position of leader of heroes. The Zhu family, your Shennong Hall and Tian Meng are fierce The Shantang is the two most powerful among the farmers, and the position of the hero is most likely to be chosen between the two of you."
"It turns out that you are trying to alienate Prince Qin!" Tian Mi yelled and scolded.
Sheng Qi raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Tian Guang is dead, are you still willing to obey the orders of that little girl in Xianyang City? What I said is only the truth. You should also know very well, what is the situation of the Sixth Hall of the Nongjia now? These People, without me having to say anything, will start fighting on their own."
That's right! What Shengqi said is indeed true. There is only one position for the leader of heroes, and the person who wants it is more than one person among the one hundred thousand disciples of the peasant family. Without someone as powerful as Tian Guang, the peasant family would inevitably become chaotic first.
However, Shengqi, this trip came with uneasy intentions. Prince Qin wanted to add a little spark to the already tense situation in the future.
"Sheng Qi, why did you abandon the farm family and join Prince Qin's army?" Tian Mi asked.
"Of course it's to become stronger." After Shengqi said that, he took off the giant sword from his back and turned around to leave.
"Really?" Zhu Jia smiled, turned the red makeup on his face, and said with his hand: "Then I wish my brother's dream will come true."
The two heads of the farmhouse clearly saw Sheng Qi descending the high slope and walking along the winding path towards the place where the flood spread.
...
Qin army's stronghold.
The last general is Ren Xiao!
The last general is Zhang Han!
...
The last general is Zhao Tuo!
...
See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
It was raining slightly in the sky, and Ying Ziyi was walking alone on the muddy road.
On both sides of the road, the Qin soldiers knelt down. In front, from the generals to the centurions, dozens of Qin generals knelt before the tent. The rain falls one after another and the flags waver. Hu Ben bows his head, and the fierce general bends his knees. The Qin army, the giant beast that devoured everything on the battlefield, was as quiet as a small beast at the moment. All this is just because of the young man in white clothes.
"Everyone get up!"
A soft sound spread throughout the camp. Ying Ziyi put one hand behind his back and stood in front of the generals. He gently held it up with the other hand, signaling the generals to stand up.
"Thank you very much, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Follow me to the account!"
"yes!"
Every word and deed has no authority. Unknowingly, Ying Ziyi's prestige among the Qin army was already very high.
Inside the tent, light rain fell from the skylight on the top of the tent. The fire was blazing inside the tent, and it was as warm as spring. When the generals entered the tent, they felt that the chill in their bodies had been dissipated a lot.
"How is the war situation now?"
Ying Ziyi sat in the general's position and asked casually, as if he didn't care too much.
'"Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince, the Xiou army has been scattered and defeated. And our soldiers have begun to dredge the grain road again according to the plan and set up camps in dangerous places on both sides of the grain road."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, our brave troops have captured King Yi Xusong of Xiou."
At this time, soldiers suddenly came to report outside the tent.
Everyone was surprised. However, Ying Ziyi understood clearly that Sheng Qi had indeed accomplished this matter.
"Bring Yi Xusong up."
"yes!"
"Generals, you have been fighting with Yi Xusong for some time. What do you think?"
Ying Ziyi's eyes wandered around the generals, and finally fell on Zhao Tuo.
"Zhao Tuo, tell me."
"The general thinks that this translation of Song Dynasty seems to be brave and unintelligent, but it is rough and subtle."
"You are brave but foolish? How can you achieve the position of King of Xiou." Ying Ziyi chuckled.
"Your Highness is right." Zhao Tuo raised his head, glanced at Ying Ziyi, and said.
"Then should Yi Yusong be killed or released?"
"The general thinks he deserves to be killed!" Ren Xiao stood up and said.
"The general thinks he deserves to be killed!"
.......
With this series of voices, all the generals and generals in the tent had only one attitude toward Yi Yusong: kill him.
Ying Ziyi looked around in the tent, but only Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo did not speak.
At this time, King Yi Xusong of Xiou was brought in by two soldiers and pushed to the ground.
Yu Song's skin was red and yellow, and he was as strong as an old ox. At this moment, my hair is messy and my crown is slanted, which makes me very embarrassed.
"Yi Xu Song, why did you break your oath and break the promise and attack my army?" Ying Ziyi looked at the strong man in front of him and asked.
"Humph, the people of Qin are cunning. If you advance an inch now, you will advance a foot tomorrow. Western Ou is our soil, why should the Qin people encroach on it?"
Oh, this King of Xiou is quite cultured!
"Now that I have captured you, are you convinced?"
"You are using tricks to dig dams and divert water to harm my army. How can I be convinced?"
"Yi Xusong, do you know that before you came, all the generals in this tent advised me to kill you."
"If you want to kill, just kill, why bother to say more."
I can't tell that this translator Song is quite tough.
"But I plan to let you go."
As soon as Ying Ziyi said these words, not only the generals in the tent, but also Yi Xusong himself was stunned.
After a long time, Translator Song murmured: "What you said is true."
"Come here, let King Xiou loose his bonds." Ying Ziyi waved his hand, and the two Qin soldiers who had been on guard beside Yi Xusong removed the ropes from Yi Xusong's body.
Yi Xusong stood up, relaxed his muscles and bones, looked at Ying Ziyi, and asked: "Prince Qin, what do you want?"
"I'll let you go back, assemble the army and fight again. If you lose again, are you willing to surrender to me?"
"If I am captured again, I will be convinced."
"Okay! Send it to King Xiou."
As soon as the translator Song left, the generals in the tent raised their hands and persuaded him: "Your Highness, the translator Song is clearly a lie. Why did your highness let the tiger go back to the mountain?"
"The reason why His Majesty the First Emperor attacked Baiyue was to completely bring this land under the empire's territory. Now that the King of Yue refuses to accept it, how can this large area of Yue people be brought under the control of the king?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is clear!"
After Ying Ziyi finished pretending, he waved his hand and motioned for his generals to go down. For Ying Ziyi now, those who can bring Baiyue together are the most precious.
...
"The king is back."
In the cave, when Ruan Zhu, the beloved concubine of Song Dynasty, heard the news, she unconsciously dropped the comb in her hand.
"He's actually back, he's actually back. How could he come back in such a big water?" Ruan Zhu couldn't help but whisper.
"Madam, Lord Tie Yuque has already gone to greet the king." The maid beside her said cautiously. As Ruan Zhu's personal maid, the beloved concubine of King Xiou in front of her and the captain of the guard, Lord Tie Yuque, secretly I can hide my relationship from others, but I can't hide it from her. In fact, every time Ruan Zhu and Tie Yuque had a tryst, it was this personal maid who kept watch.
"Hmph! This pug." Ruan Zhu cursed secretly in his heart.
"My beloved concubine, my beloved concubine!" Ruan Zhu was just thinking about getting up to greet Yi Xusong, but unexpectedly, Yi Xusong had already arrived first.
The travel-worn translator Song walked in without even changing his clothes. He held Ruan Zhu in his arms, feeling the warmth of the woman in his arms.
Ruan Zhu's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable with the stench on Yi Yusong's body. But when Yi Xusong took her out of his arms, Ruan Zhu's face immediately changed into a smile, and she pretended to be concerned: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"Hahaha! I'm fine. Those Qin people put me back. Now I want them to look good."
"Your Majesty, the people of Qin are treacherous, so be careful!"
"Don't worry, madam, rest here first. I have to go to the main hall to discuss military affairs with the great elder and others."
"Your Majesty, go slowly." Ruan Zhu bowed to Yi Xusong and sent him out of the cave.
Ruan Zhu sat down for an unknown amount of time. Most of the candles in the cave were extinguished. The cave fell into darkness, with only a flicker of light remaining, reflecting in the distance on Ruan Zhu's charming face.
"We can't go on like this."
"What did you say, madam?" the maid said softly.
"How many years have you been with me?" Ruan Zhu woke up from her meditation, turned her head slightly, and said to her personal maid.
"Ma'am, it's been eight years."
"Yes, you were with me when we were in Luoyue. I heard that when Yi Xusong attacked the tribe, his soldiers killed your lover. Do you hate him?"
The maid in front of Ruan Zhu knelt down, her eyes filled with tears. "Madam, I...!"
"You don't have to be afraid. In fact, I also want revenge." Ruan Zhu caressed her maid's face with soft eyes.
"Madam, but you are the princess of the evil thief Yi Xusong. What will you do if he goes away?"
Ruan Zhu stroked her black hair with disdain and said: "With my beauty, many men fall in love with me. In this big world, is there still a lot of lustful men?"
"Okay! Madam, what should I do?" the maid calmed down and said.
"I want you to go to Qin Camp, find Prince Qin, and tell him that I am willing to be his internal correspondent. I think Prince Qin will not refuse."
"But madam, there are many guards outside, how should I get out?" the maid asked doubtfully.
Ruan Zhu smiled, caressed the beautiful face of his maid, and said, "I have already asked Tie Yuque. The person keeping watch tonight is Haqido. And he has always treated you..."
The maid's face turned red, and Ruan Zhu glanced gently: "As long as you use a little trick to get through, you can definitely make it back and forth before dawn on a fast horse."
"My slave understands."
The maid made up her mind, bowed, and walked out of the cave.
...
"Your Majesty, our troops and horses have suffered heavy losses now. How can we resist the Qin people?"
In the cave, Yi Xusong had already taken a bath and changed into clean clothes. In the new crown and new server, he sat on the tiger skin throne and regained the majesty of the king.
"Your Majesty, the strength of the thirteen Yi kings who are close to us in our tribe has been greatly damaged, but the other twenty-three Yi kings who have not yet participated in the war still have some strength left. Among them, there are several tribes that are dissatisfied with us. At this moment, I am afraid that Will take this opportunity to cause trouble."
As bad news came out one after another from his ministers, Yi Xusong's mood became worse and worse. He knew all this, but he kept it buried in his heart and was unwilling to face it.
But if you don’t want to face it, these problems still exist after all.
"Tell those Yi kings that whoever can capture and kill Prince Qin, I am willing to give up the throne and respect him as the master." Yi Xusong thought for a while and finally said.
It was a decision that upset everyone in the cave. As the king of Xi'ou and the leader of the alliance of many tribes in Xi'ou, he can still enjoy many rights. At the very least, the items that each Yi king paid tribute to each year were a huge piece of income. Everyone in this cave can get a little bit of soup and water. Now that the king says this, how can these people be willing?
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
...
Everyone is trying to persuade Yi Yusong, but Yi Yusong is unmoved. After a while, he shouted angrily and said: "What time is it now? The overall situation comes first."
After all, the power accumulated by the Song Dynasty over the years was not something that these generals in the cave could disobey.
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Although they were unwilling to do so, most of the generals in the cave still said.
Except for Lu Wen, everyone in the cave retreated, and only he stayed.
"Your Majesty!" Lu Wen wanted to say something, but his translator, Xu Song, interrupted him.
"All the generals in the tribe are not worthy of their responsibilities."
Translator Song's voice was a little tired, and he seemed very disappointed.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. As long as we gather the power of all the kings of Xi'ou, we may be able to resist the Qin people."
"I hope so!"
