Chapter 42: Can't Go Back

Not changed

It takes less than a quarter of an hour to send the battlefield to Shouying. It is not so easy to send the battlefield to Huai County because it spans the Wei Kingdom. The warships rowing at full speed on the gulf, and at night, the news reached the Mingtang where Zhao Zheng'an was sitting.

"Bad?" Zhao Zheng, who was still dealing with government affairs at the dawn, was a little stunned. He had not yet come back to his senses from government affairs.

"Report to the king, the news is in the middle of the news, and our army is defeated..." Wei Liao was resigned, and the leader of the National Wei Mansion came to report to a civil servant in the National Wei Mansion.

"Nonsense!" Zhao Zheng shouted angrily. "King Jing has only 60,000 people, and our army is five times more powerful than the enemy. How can we defeat it?!"

Zhao Zheng's expression changed. The civil servant was so scared that he trembled. He angrily shouted and collapsed on the ground. Only the bamboo slips were holding them with trembling hands. Zhao Gao peeked at Zhao Zheng's expression and gave a look at the temple man behind him. Several men came up and dragged the civil servant down.

The bamboo slips were touching the bamboo slips and slight sounds. After the suspicious Zhao Zheng retreated the clown who wanted to drag people down, Zhao Zheng quickly presented the brocade bag containing the bamboo slips. Seeing the words on the bamboo slips, Zhao Zheng's face changed rapidly, and he was embarrassed and angry. He tried his best to shake the tremor before he read the complete Duan Xunwen: The 300,000 army he had high hopes was defeated by the Jing people, and countless casualties were injured. The leading general Meng Tian committed suicide...

It was a big deal that the Qin army was really defeated and falsely. After presenting the bamboo slips, Zhao Gao kept peeping at Zhao Zheng's face. Under the light, his face was normal flesh-colored. Seeing that the bamboo slips suddenly turned white, turned black, and finally turned like drunken flush.

Zhao Zheng was indeed drunk, and the whole Mingtang was spinning in front of him. His brain took a lot of things and stuffed them in a lot of things.

"I am willing to take on this responsibility and rely on the warship to destroy Jing Kingdom in one year." Zhao Ying's voice was sonorous and powerful, and it first echoed in his mind.

"I am also willing to take on this responsibility. It will take two years to destroy Jing Kingdom..." This is Meng Tian's voice, his face that has just passed his thirties.

"If there are 600,000 people, and the Liang Liang is pulled out in March, I would like to try it out and the Jing Jing will be destroyed in one year." Then there was an old voice, but unfortunately Zhao Zheng couldn't remember who this person was.

"These 300,000 people are the last elite soldiers of my Great Qin, and the rest are all weak soldiers. These 300,000 people were defeated in one battle, what about the Great Qin?" An aggressive voice, this man bowed to him, and Zhao Zheng couldn't see his face clearly.

"However, it is difficult to stop the people of Jing from evading the evacuation. Why should the king care about the eldest son of Jing? King Jing, I, the Qin Dynasty, are not afraid, so why should I be afraid to warn the eldest son?!" Wei Liao's shadow appeared, and his unforgettable laughter. "The king must regret it! The king must regret it! The king must regret..."

Wei Liao's laughter echoed in Zhao Zheng's mind and could not be driven away. This laughter made him feel a split headache and almost fainted. He struggled to stand up, but with one hand brushed the simplified book on the desk to the ground. Zhao Gao, who was lowering his head, was shocked to see this. When he stepped forward to support Zhao Zheng, Zhao Zheng threw him away. He pointed to the civil servant who was lying in front of the case and said, "Those who praise the enemy will poke! Come..."

"Good king, please spare me, please spare me!" The civil servant was shocked. He didn't expect that he would become a vicious enemy after sending him an urgent message. Unfortunately, the prince behind him quickly took him out without saying anything.

"This is definitely not done by one person! Zhao Gao..." Zhao Zheng's headache became more and more serious, and he could no longer say a word.

But how could Zhao Gao not know what he meant? The Qin army was defeated, so he must block the news immediately. Anyone who knew the Qin army’s defeat was about to die. "I respectfully accept the order, and I will ask the Tingwei Mansion to search for the rest of the party."

After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he hurriedly pushed out of the Mingtang. When he was halfway through, Zhao Zheng spoke again, and he had to step forward and accept the order again. At this time, Zhao Zhengku sat on the table, his face as if he was ashes, and he spoke weakly. He heard four words: "Summon Wang Jian, summon Wang Jian quickly!"

"I respectfully accept the order!" Zhao Gao suddenly shuddered. If the previous ones were all speculations, then "Summoning Wang Jian" completely confirmed the correctness of this speculation. The Qin army was really defeated, and it must have been a big defeat, otherwise the king would not have summoned Wang Jian urgently while blocking the news of defeat.

Zhao Gao hurried out of Mingtang after taking Zhao Jie. When he went out, he felt cold all over. He stood still for a while and touched the cold Tongzhao Jie in his hand before he came to his senses. The insider of the National Wei Mansion sent someone to Guanzhong to summon Wang Jian quickly. None of these two things could be delayed, nor could the wind be leaked, otherwise...

When Xiong Jing woke up again, he looked at the face of his mother, Concubine Zhao. He thought he was in Shouying, but when he looked up, he saw the patterns on the wooden bed, he immediately realized that he was in Chenying.

"My mother, the child is fine..." He struggled to get up, and when he exerted force, his left shoulder seemed to be tied.

"Don't move." Concubine Zhao, whose hair was getting whiter, didn't expect that her son suddenly woke up. She quickly pressed Xiong Jing down. "The doctor said, your shoulder bones and arm bones are broken, and you have to rest for several months to recover."

"I..." Xiong Jing knew that his bones were broken, but he didn't expect that they were all broken. This word seemed to pull him back to the battlefield and back to the moment when the Choji's spear came. Faced with the killing attack of Choji, he had completely relied on the armor on both sides to block the attack.

"Da Ao..." Mi was also in front of the bed, but she did not sit beside the bed like Zhao Fei, but kneeled under the bed.

"Son!" Xiong Jing couldn't help but struggle. This time, Concubine Zhao gave up a position, and Mi Lihua appeared in front of him with rain.

Seeing the man looking at him, Mi hurriedly wiped her tears and said with a smile: "If Da Ao defeats the Qin people again, the world is already in full swing."

Mi's praise made Xiong Jing smile embarrassedly. No matter how much praise he praised, it was not as good as his wife's praise. He couldn't get up and lay down again. Concubine Zhao ordered Mi to "take care of the king" and went out so that the couple could speak. However, neither of them spoke, but just held hands and rubbed them eagerly.

"Why did you come here?" After a long time, Xiong Jing asked. At this time, he closed his eyes completely and was addicted to the fragrance of women. He had hated perfume before and suddenly realized how important it is for a woman to have her own unique fragrance.

"I..." Chen Ying was hard to describe how Mi came. The Feixun drafted by Zhuang Wudi caused great chaos as soon as it was transmitted to Shouying. With preconceived ideas, although there was Feixun behind, Zhao Concubine Zhao and Mi still rushed from Shouying.

"Mother Queen?" Xiong Jing saw the panic in Mi's eyes and asked softly.

Mi's eyes dimmed, and then she shook her head repeatedly, "My mother was concerned about Da Ao's serious injury, so she rushed over."

"Where is Sheng'er?" Xiong Jing noticed something and asked his son.

"Here, he is still on the Wang Zhou." Mi said again, lowering her head. She did not dare to carry her son into Chen Ying. If her husband really dies, she will definitely not be able to protect her son, who has a weak foundation.

"Oh!" Xiong Jing sighed. Originally, he just wanted Mi to take his son and a small number of people to quietly avoid the three islands of Penglai, but now he is known to everyone in Penglai. If time permits, people from all over Chu may migrate to the island. At that time, Mi and his son will definitely be swallowed by the old ministers.

After all, they were as accustomed to superior hierarchy life as the king of Yue, and were unwilling to obtain food with their own hands and respect with their own courage like the real tribe elders. When he laughed at the hopelessly wanted a king of Yue, he did not expect that the Chu people were actually hopelessly. Once they died, once the entire Chu army was destroyed, the ministers who migrated to the three islands would inevitably restore the Zhou Li and live a pampered life.

The practice of Chu li is not something that is said, power and property are really touchstones. Before the gods, or under the great sword, there is no difference between Xiong Jing and ordinary Chu army soldiers. The soldiers can also become Ao, as long as his bravery makes all soldiers surrender to him. In other words, if the old ministers do not have brave descendants and flexible enough, they are likely to lose the power in their hands.

The State of Chu had land tax, household tax, verbal tax, salt tax, and related city tax... After performing the Chu ceremony, the soldiers no longer paid any customized taxes. A terrible result of no taxes is that any independent clan could only rely on plundering foreign tribes to support themselves and their subordinates. If they did not plunder foreign tribes, they could only eat their old capital and all their capitals and everyone would break up.

After hundreds of years of pampering, few nobles surnamed Mi can really give up their power and property and return to the wilderness of the country when Chu was first founded.

"Da Ao, my mother treats me and Sheng'er very kindly." The husband and wife are connected, and Mi knows what a man is worried about.

"Yeah." Xiong Jingxin said absent-mindedly. "Mi Ni..." He said to Mi Ni, "Mi Ni has not been married yet?"

"Yes." Mi didn't know why her husband talked about her sister. "She is still young, she..."

Mi Ni is a stubborn woman. Xiong Jing likes her stubbornness. After a slowdown, he said, "How about Zhuang Quji?"

"Zhuang Quji..." Mi immediately appeared as Zhuang Quji's one-eyed look. His frightened eyes were not concealed at all, and he was so naked that no one dared to take a look after it.

"Zhuang Quji is the sanitation of Chu State, and is determined and brave." Xiong Jing said, "There are many dead in the sanitation, and their lives are still there, so no one is willing to marry. If Mi Ni..., then marry him. I will order him to take the four guards to Xinying."

"No, the guards are personal guards, how can they go to Penglai with me?" Mi shook her head immediately. There were only eight soldiers in the guards. When she gave birth two years ago, her husband had been transferred to guard Xiaoyi. At that time, Mi was very worried that the lack of these four soldiers would cause an unexpected accident.

"What's wrong!" Xiong Jing said unhappily. "How can you convince the public without force? If you don't ask Mi Ni, I will ask Mi Ni."

After saying that, Xiong Jing was about to get up again, Mi hurriedly stopped him and said repeatedly. Xiong Jing took a breath and said, "The country is important, and the Chu people are even more important. The Chu people's importance is not knowledge, land, wealth, but faith. Only with faith can you be brave, and only with courage can you have land. Avoiding Xinying, you must not live in luxury..."
