Although Leng Yu was injured, he was also a battle-hardened general. Although Meng Xin had some kung fu skills, he was no match for Leng Yu. After a while, he was defeated. When Leng Yu's sword was only a finger's distance away from his throat, the two men stopped.
Meng Xin narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted, "People from the North Sea Kingdom are coming. You will be surrounded soon."
Leng Yu raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and then said to Xiao Lingzi coldly:
"Finish what you just said."
Xiao Lingzi took two steps forward in shock, clasped his fists again and said:
"Your Majesty, the people from the North Sea Kingdom have arrived, but they were repelled by our ambushes on the road. Seeing that the situation was not good, they have already fled with their tails between their legs. I am asking for your advice. Should we pursue them?"
Meng Xin suddenly realized that because he wanted to win this battle so much, when he heard the words "Beihai Kingdom", he thought that the other party came to support him.
Unexpectedly, even the soldiers of Chu State knew that the people of Beihai State would not come to support, and he was the only one still dreaming.
It turned out that I had become the most pitiful clown.
This is Meng Yue. Thinking of the scene where she was carried away by Liu Dechang, he felt a tightness in his chest. He gritted his teeth and roared towards the sky.
"ah……"
Seeing his unusual behavior, the Queen of Chu suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs:
"Meng Xin, stop being stubborn. Look at this once peaceful Western Region. You've caused so much damage that it's now littered with corpses. Don't make any more mistakes. Surrender!"
Hearing this, Meng Xin's eyes, which were already filled with anger and disappointment, seemed to be about to burst into fire.
He gnashed his teeth, panting heavily, and shouted with all his strength:
"A gentleman can be killed, but not humiliated. I, Meng Xin, have let Meng Yue down, let the people of Chu down, and let the soldiers of Chu down. I will go and apologize to the Meng family's great ancestors."
After saying this, he opened his arms and thrust his neck forward, and before Leng Yu could react, he stabbed the sword in his hand.
"Father..."
As Letu's wail that resounded through the heavens and earth rang out, Meng Xin fell to the ground with his eyes wide open and unwilling to admit defeat.
He would rather die than surrender, which also verified what the Queen of Chu said: His face killed him.
Meng Xin died in one day. Although he died under Leng Yu's sword, he was not killed by Leng Yu.
Upon seeing this scene, the Chu soldiers all knelt down in the snow stained red by Meng Xin's blood, looking at the dead Meng Xin in despair...
This sudden scene made the Queen of Chu stand there in a daze. She looked at Meng Xin lying on the ground with disbelief and walked towards him step by step.
She couldn't believe that the strong and healthy Meng Xin died just like that?
When she came in front of him and looked at Meng Xin, whose eyes were wide open and who had stopped breathing, she confirmed that he was really dead. Her tears silently slid down her cheeks.
She raised her hands, closed his eyes, half-knelt beside his body, and closed her eyes in hatred.
After pondering for a while, she suddenly stood up straight, letting her tears continue to fall, clenching her teeth, and said hatefully:
"King Meng Xin of Chu has died. He left a will stating that if he fails in any way, the throne will be passed to the young prince Meng Letu as the eighteenth king of Chu. All matters of Chu, big or small, will be decided by him alone. No one else is allowed to interfere in the government. Anyone who disobeys will be punished for treason."
The scene became quiet for a while. Leng Yu waved his hand, signaling Xiao Lingzi to untie the rope on Letu.
Letu jumped off his horse with a gloomy face. He came to Meng Xin, knelt on his knees, kowtowed three times without saying a word, and then knelt in the snow for a long time. At this time, no one came forward to disturb him, and they all looked at him quietly.
Then he stood up, looked at Leng Yu again, clasped his hands together, and said solemnly and coldly:
"Chu has invaded Daning's territory for many years, causing unrest among the people of Daning, which is close to Chu. As the new king of Chu, I sincerely apologize to Daning. Tomorrow morning, I will personally travel to Daning's capital and withdraw all the Chu people. I beg Your Highness to be lenient and not to interfere. As a token of my sincerity, I, Meng Letu, swear here that for ten thousand years, no one from Chu will invade a single blade of grass or tree in Daning. Anyone who disobeys will be punished for deceiving the king."
After he finished speaking, Leng Yu's eyebrows revealed a sharp look, and then he nodded.
"Okay, since you're so sincere, I won't make things difficult for you. Let's set off together tomorrow morning without further ado."
After saying this, he looked again at Meng Xin, who was stubborn and would rather die than surrender, tightened the reins of his horse, turned around, and rode away.
The night was very quiet. All the remaining Chu people held their breath and dared not make a sound.
The Queen of Chu could no longer bear it and cried loudly on Meng Xin's body, muttering,
"Meng Xin, you've only cared about your face in this life. I've told you before that face is not worth your life. Now, you'd rather die than surrender for the sake of your face, but you just abandon Tu'er and me like this. You're really cruel!"
Liu Jin, who was standing aside, signaled the maid beside him to help the queen up, then came to Le Tu and said softly:
"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. What are the arrangements for the late king's death?"
Letu looked up at the dark night sky and swallowed back the tears that were already flowing.
He has become the king of a country. He has no right to cry, and he cannot shed tears.
He calmed down his emotions, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he murmured:
"Tomorrow morning, you will take my father and mother back to Chu State. When I return from Daning State, I will give him a grand funeral."
