Chapter 1064 Bloody Clothes, Falling from the Sky
But Lin Huaimu didn't care.
After just two steps, Zhuge Jia looked at Lin Huaimu in confusion, and then looked down at Zhong Shuoxing: "I heard that Zhong Shuoxing is very smart and decisive. The rapid rise of Mobei after the previous defeat and the destruction of the Uighurs were all due to you. I am not talented, so I want to ask, why would someone like you use such a stupid method to escape? Is there something else going on?"
At the end, Zhuge Jia looked straight at Zhong and said yes.
It is said that the pain was unbearable. Even though he had been on the battlefield many times, he often regarded himself as a Confucian general, and it was his subordinates who actually did the charging.
Moreover, Zhong Shuoxing was most afraid of pain. His calves were now torn to pieces, revealing blood, flesh and bones. His left shoulder was not so unbearable to look at, but it was also torn.
So at the moment, while he was sweating profusely, he was humming and moaning, acting like a spoiled person who cannot stand any hardship.
But in fact, this is the nature of Zhong Shuo Xing.
It hurts, it hurts, no need to be pretentious, and no need to pretend that nothing happens for the sake of dignity or justice.
Lin Huaimu glanced at Zhong Shuoxing and found that his behavior was exactly the same as it was back then. Back then, it was a rainy day and Zhong Shuoxing was walking with an umbrella. Raindrops fell down the umbrella into the oil pan of a roadside stall. The boiling oil splashed and fell on Zhong Shuoxing, making him cry out in pain.
However, Zhong Shuoxing did not blame the stall for its bad behavior. Instead, he put the umbrella aside to prevent rain from falling on the stall. Then he went back and put a small baffle on the umbrella, leaving only a small opening for water to flow out at another place.
Weird, but in his own words, this way I can still walk over there and won't hurt myself.
This is completely different from Yan Shu. Yan Shu walked with an umbrella tilted, allowing the rain to wet his shoulders but not letting the rain fall on the stall. It’s not that I’m afraid of rain water falling into the oil pan, but the other party is not getting wet in the rain, so why should he get wet because of me. Why should we let the other party suffer losses because of us?
Zhong Shuoxing's face was pale, his eyes were red as he stared at Zhuge Jia, then the corners of his mouth rose: "It is said that the master of Yizixuan, Zhuge Jia, is one of the thirteen best in the world. Well~~ Qi Jia's true teachings, well versed in cunning strategies, and has a very high reputation in the world. It is said that if Qi Jia returns, Qi Jia's position will be yours."
At this point, Zhong Shuoxing wanted to try to stand up, but his calf felt a sharp pain, and he fell to the ground after just a little effort.
Lin Huaimu watched coldly and just glanced at Zhuge Jia.
Zhuge Jia smiled softly, "You have a backup plan, right? For example, you know that the emperor will definitely want to see you. Although I don't know much about you, I heard that the late emperor thought highly of you and even planned to marry the eldest daughter of Prince An to you. If it involves the late emperor, your majesty must have personally participated in it, especially an old friend."
At this point, Zhuge Jia squatted in front of Zhong Shuoxing and said, "You are not planning to assassinate His Majesty, are you?"
As he spoke, Zhuge Jia narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, "It's normal for Bai Shan to take you to escape. In the past, when the late emperor was in hiding, the Black Armor Army surrendered to the Sixth Prince and wanted to kill the late emperor. The Sixth Prince was defeated, and Bai Shan escaped as the Sixth Prince's servant. It was you who took him to Mobei and brought his wife and children to Mobei. This is how you should repay your life-saving grace. But the question is, why did Bai Shan risk his life and even break through the Baihui acupoint? This is not to escape, but to do something else, right?"
Hearing this, Zhong Shuoxing smiled miserably: "I want Xia Qingge to die, and I also intend to assassinate her."
Zhuge Jia smiled slightly, but didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at the people in the middle.
Lin Huaimu looked at Zhong Shuoxing again at this time: "The goal is the palm thunder. Can you extinguish the fuse before the palm thunder explodes?"
The advantage of being a smart person is that there is no need to say too much about many things.
Zhong Shuoxing looked straight at Lin Huaimu: "It's called Palm Thunder, it's a good name, I'm Mobei. Ah!!"
Zhong Shuoxing suddenly screamed.
But it was Zhuge Jia who directly reached his hand into Zhong Shuoxing's arms.
As expected.
Two palm mines were taken out.
Lin Huaimu saw that the fuses of the two palm thunders had become extremely short. Once ignited, they would explode, and there would not even be enough time to throw them out.
Zhuge Jia smiled again, then stood up, looked at Lin Huaimu and nodded.
Lin Huaimu didn't say much, nor did he care about what was happening even though he was screaming in pain. He just grabbed one of the arms and dragged him away.
He wanted to kill Zhong Shuoxing.
But if the emperor wants to see him, he cannot be killed.
But in his heart, he was also angry at himself for letting anger get the better of him. That was why he couldn't get past the second level of the demonic situation.
Because Zhong Shuoxing has always been his inner demon.
If I hadn't let Zhong Shuoxing leave back then, how could we be in Mobei now, and how could there be so many troubles later.
Therefore, he imprisoned himself in the capital.
But at this time, Zhong Shuoxing endured the pain and yelled: "Lin Huaimu! Take me to the emperor like this, aren't you afraid that I have other ways to kill her?!"
Lin Huaimu had no expression on his face and said simply: "Don't be afraid."
Zhong Shuoxing laughed: "When you let me go, I asked you if you regretted it, and you said no."
Lin Huaimu paused, then looked back at Zhong Shuoxing, his eyes clear and without any anger, "I regret letting you go back then, but it was my fault, and I will make amends for it for the rest of my life. If you want to irritate me, try another way."
Zhong Shuoxing felt a little pain and a look of pain appeared on his face. He reached out to hug his legs to prevent his legs from being shaken again when Lin Huaimu dragged him like this.
Then he said, "Shen Pei, I cut off his head and hung it at the gate of the Mobei Royal Court. It's still hanging there now."
Lin Huaimu said: "Mr. Shen was buried with great honor by you. Many officials in Mobei scolded you, but the princess of Mobei stood up and no one dared to object. Moreover, after my army goes to the royal court, we will move Mr. Shen back to Daxia."
Zhong Shuoxing smiled and said, "I have killed so many people, but I didn't expect there are still spies hiding. Should I say that you are worthy of being my master? Or should I say that the ability of [Di Ting] is really amazing."
Lin Huaimu didn't say anything this time.
In this battlefield, because the Mobei cavalry were fleeing and being chased by the Daxia cavalry, at the moment, apart from the swords, spears, halberds, spears and shields stuck all over the ground, as well as the broken limbs and bodies, only a part of the Daxia soldiers were beheading some intact Mobei soldiers one by one with swords, and they were also looking for any injured comrades lying on the ground.
The battlefield has moved and the victory or defeat has been decided.
Lin Huaimu said yes while dragging his hands, with Zhuge Jia following beside him.
It was a little weird, but no one bothered me.
The personal guards that were just mentioned had already been completely wiped out by the army led by Lin Huaimu, and that team was following at the end just in case.
Zhong Shuoxing was breathing heavily and groaning constantly. He wanted to speak and had to speak, but he was in so much pain that he couldn't say anything and could only endure the pain. But suddenly he saw Zhou Qian, one of his generals, lying in a pile of corpses.
There was a bloody hole between Zhou Qian's eyebrows, and his body was covered in blood. He died with his eyes open.
Seeing this, Zhong Shuoxing ignored the pain and asked through gritted teeth: "The black iron lump is called palm thunder, the extremely powerful one is called artillery, and the other one, the one you trained into a professional army."
Lin Huaimu said: "A musket."
Zhong Shuoxing then asked: "Were all of them invented by Su Changan?"
Lin Huaimu glanced at His Majesty and the Queen on the approaching city wall and said, "Yes."
Zhong Shuoxing smiled, but immediately said: "I was thinking about Su Changan, maybe he is a man."
Lin Huaimu said firmly: "No."
Zhong Shuoxing laughed, "Well, I don't think so. Men don't look like this. Even if she looks like a woman, she should look like me and Zhou An'an. If she is really a man, this matter would probably be more shocking than her breaking through the third level of the Heart Demon Game. The most beautiful woman in the world, a handsome Sejia, is a man. I feel a little slow when I think about it. Anyway, you won the fight, why are you in a hurry? I am in so much pain. Doesn't your Majesty blame you!?"
Lin Huaimu didn't say anything else.
But Zhong Shuoxing started again: "However, you are from the martial arts world. Although I have practiced martial arts with you for a few days, I have no talent. What does it mean to pass the third level? Tell me about it."
Lin Huaimu turned around and looked at Zhong Xing and said, "What are you planning?"
Zhong Shuoxing looked at Lin Huaimu and said, "You and Mr. Zhuge are both smart people. What do you think?"
On the city wall, the battlefield has now moved far away, and there is no need to watch any more as we chase and kill the defeated soldiers. We can just wait for the army to return and announce the victory!
Therefore, there is no need to look at anything more on the battlefield.
Therefore, Xia Fengxiang looked down at Zhong Shuoxing who was being dragged closer and closer by Lin Huaimu, "My father pointed at him and said to me, 'In the future, I have him, and Daxia can return to its heyday.'"
No one behind him, including Mu Xu, refuted this statement.
It can be said that Zhong Shuoxing betrayed Daxia and defected to Mobei, but it cannot be said that Zhong Shuoxing had no talent.
In those days, if we only talked about knowledge, out of ten people, one was as good as Xun Kuang.
But when it comes to governing a country and leading an army, ten Xun Kuangs are not as good as one Zhong Shuo.
Su Changan didn't really care about what Zhong said. What he noticed was Zhuge Jia's cautious and thoughtful look.
Others could not see clearly the scene in the distance just now, but Su Changan could see it very clearly now. Zhijing broke through the Baihui acupoint and took out two palm thunders and stuffed them into Zhong Shuoxing's arms. Su Changan saw it clearly.
This is why, even though the wounds on his body were very painful, he still wanted to stay with Xia Fengxiang.
Because there is no such thing as a foolproof plan in the world. If you want to be foolproof, you must not relax at all, especially when the enemy is ahead.
My great-grandmother said that it was because of her negligence that my great-grandfather was poisoned by the shamans of that generation, which led to his early death.
The lessons learned from the past do not allow Su Changan to be careless.
Xia Fengxiang went on to say, "I was still young at that time. After he came out of my father's study, he looked at me playing with Ruyu and asked me, 'Princess, what do you think a prosperous age is?' I said, 'All under heaven are united.' He smiled and said, 'It's not good to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.' I also smiled because that's what I just heard. My father's goal is 'All under heaven are united.' However, what he meant by the prosperous age is not what my father said about embracing the world and thus achieving all under heaven. It is about absolute rule, no one resisting, setting up the hierarchy of people, managing at all levels, controlling the country with a combination of gold, silver, culture, and production, and then using these to erode the surrounding dependent countries and make them completely dependent."
Su Changan was a little surprised when he heard this, because the idea seemed familiar.
Xia Fengxiang said, "Father admires him very much, but he believes that water can carry a boat but can also capsize it, and that the country should be based on the people, so as to achieve world peace. But Zhong Shuoxing believes that this is why water can carry a boat but can also capsize it. That was their first quarrel."
At this point, Xia Fengxiang looked at Mu Xu and said, "I asked Xun Kuang and Yan Shu the same question."
Mu Xu bowed without saying anything.
Xia Fengxiang said: "Xun Kuang said that the so-called prosperous times are when all nations want to be Great Xia people, but we Great Xia people have our own pride. Yan Shu said that it is hard to describe what a prosperous time is, but one day, when people from other countries look at us Great Xia people with envy, and people from small countries envy our people with sarcastic words, this is a prosperous time."
Xia Fengxiang smiled lightly: "In fact, the two people's meanings are similar, they just use different expressions, but these are a little different from what Zhong said here. Originally, I wanted to ask him something, but now seeing his expression."
Xia Fengxiang gently squeezed Su Changan's hand and said, "He is not a man who gives up easily. He fled to Mobei just because of different ideas. He wanted to prove to my father and Uncle Lin that he was right. Now that he has failed, he can't just be caught like this. Tell Uncle Lin that once you enter the city, kill him, the King of Mobei South Court and the Grand Marshal who invaded our Great Xia this time, in front of the people. Then freeze his head and send it to the old Uighur land to give it to the Uighur people who have become slaves."
Du Yu immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Speaking of world peace.
Now let’s talk about revenge for the Uighurs.
Everyone can guess what the emperor is thinking.
But Zhong said that it was okay and he must be killed in front of the people!
Because this is an explanation to the people and a promise made by the court to the people!
Su Changan didn't say anything, his eyes were always on Zhong Shuxing.
Zhuge Jia was equally cautious.
Very strange.
I always feel like I'm missing something.
When he saw us, Zhong Shuoxing ran away immediately, even at the cost of having his subordinate break his Baihui acupoint in order to rush over.
In order to get the palm thunder, he calculated that we would definitely bring him to Your Majesty, so he took the palm thunder and wanted to kill the emperor.
It seems like a natural thing to do, but it can also be considered a gamble.
but.
The problem is that this is Zhong Shuoxing, and Zhong Shuoxing knows them and knows both of them.
Lin Huaimu didn't see it because of his emotions, but he saw it.
Zhuge Jia looked at Zhong Shuoxing who was dragged to the city gate by Lin Huaimu and locked there, and also looked at Zhong Shuoxing who was enduring the pain while watching the artillery fire on both sides.
He looked pale and increasingly weak due to excessive blood loss.
Am I overthinking it?
Zhuge Jia frowned slightly.
But Zhong said that the guild felt that they and Lin Huaimu were the ones who didn't expect that he would do something about the palm thunder?
There were soldiers standing inside and outside the city gate. When they saw Zhong Shuoxing, every one of them was filled with murderous intent, because they knew that this man was the King of Mobei South Court!
But the most important thing is that he is a traitor of Daxia!
He was the one who planned the massive invasion of Yan territory, the matter of Xia Chenfeng and his son Xia Zhixu, the matter of Zhang Jue, and the previous matter of Wuping Town, all of which were planned and arranged by this person behind the scenes.
Each and every one of these events was intended to overthrow Daxia and allow Mobei to rule the Central Plains.
All of them are schemes to harm many people!
In other words.
This man wanted to destroy Daxia and lead foreign tribes to massacre the Xia people.
Just these things alone were enough to make them want to kill!
Of course, the common people inside the pass who were not stopped by the soldiers and came to surround the captured person because the war was coming to an end, also knew who the captured person was after someone specifically explained it to them.
In a moment!
Anger instantly appeared on everyone's face.
However, in response to these gazes, Zhong Shiyou didn't seem to exist. He just looked at the boxes of black balls piled up under the city wall, the large crossbows tied with special-looking white ropes like the palm thunders, and the baskets of palm thunders.
When Zhong Shuoxing saw these, he couldn't help but chuckle. The preparations were really thorough.
and
It's great that there are so many useless ones.
But his eyes also noticed Aleya who was lying flat on the ground, and he couldn't help but smile again. Her Royal Highness the Princess was still alive, that was good. After all, the most innocent person should be Her Royal Highness the Princess.
only
When Zhong Shuoxing looked around, he was thrown to the ground by Lin Huaimu. The pain made him gasp, but he seemed not to have enough strength to breathe.
But his gaze was directed at the civilians who had gathered around him and the soldiers around him.
The Ends are all on the city wall.
A soldier had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Lin Huaimu, he immediately conveyed the emperor's intention to Lin Huaimu.
Lin Huaimu breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had put aside his anger, he had been thinking about the same thing as Zhuge Jia on the way here.
Because Zhong Shuoxing's behavior was too strange, it seemed like something he would do, but it shouldn't be so direct.
But now I hear that Your Majesty means to kill Zhong Shuo right here.
Both Lin Huaimu and Zhuge Jia breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhong Shuoxing saw that the two men had finally let down their guard. The moment the corner of his mouth rose, it seemed that he was holding something in his hand, and he didn't know where the strength came from. He suddenly rushed towards the place where the artillery bombs, palm mines, and crossbows tied with explosives were piled.
Zhuge Jia and Lin Huaimu reacted immediately!
The moment they turned their heads to look at Zhong Shuoxing, the energy in their bodies exploded at the same time!
In an instant, he was already beside Zhong Shuoxing!
Zhuge Jia stepped on Zhong Shuoxing's back, making him unable to move. Lin Huaimu said nothing. He twisted the iron fan in his hand and cut off Zhong Shuoxing's entire arm, which seemed to be holding something.
Zhong Shuoxing screamed, his eyes instantly bloodshot, but a smile appeared on his face. He looked up at Lin Huaimu, breathing heavily, sweating profusely, "Mobei was defeated, but I was not."
Lin Huaimu had already opened the palm of Zhong Xing's arm, but there was nothing inside.
Wow!
But it is also this moment!
Lin Huaimu and Zhuge Jia, as well as the great masters on the city wall, were all stunned.
Several figures!
Very fast!
Two of them were ninth-grade warriors who had broken through the Baihui acupoint and temporarily gained ultimate strength!
The target of these people was all to rush towards the bomb and the palm thunder!
In order to facilitate rapid transportation to the city walls and outside the city gates, they were piled here, but because of this, there was a special order that no fire should be allowed within a dozen meters around, no matter if it was an open flame or a fire starter!
But these few people now!
His whole body was pitch black, as if he had been smeared with something, and there was a fire starter in his hand!
The two people who had briefly gained the ultimate strength were the fastest. Since they were very close to the people, they had already rushed to the top of the palm thunder while blending in with the people.
One person even pounced directly at a child.
Wow!
Without hesitation, the dark existence ignited at the touch of a button, and the whole person turned completely into a fire man.
Everyone moved in the same way, and in an instant, each of these people turned into a fire man!
Ignore the guards and rush directly to where the palm thunder is.
Zhong Shuoxing was extremely weak at this time. He had already lost too much blood, and now that one of his arms was gone, it was even more so. However, Zhong Shuoxing raised the corner of his mouth and looked weakly at the back of Lin Huaimu who rushed over: "I am a student of Di Ting."
As he spoke, Zhong Shuoxing looked towards where Aleya was.
But the moment I looked past it.
A blood-stained robe fell from the sky.
