I am a cat in the palace

After Rourou chased away the person who came to ask him to eat again, I became angry.

"I've been doing this for hundreds of years, so what if I don't become an adult, I won't die anyway, you'd better take out this broken box and burn it, I'm upset!" It jumped up to Rourou's shoulder, but because it rushed too hard and didn't control its strength, it slid directly off Rourou's shoulder, and then the whole cat fell on the box in Rourou's hand.

"Meow!!!"

I screamed subconsciously, the injury caused by being ejected and thrown before has not fully healed yet.

Rourou also threw the box in his hand almost immediately when I fell down, but it was half a step too late, and I also fell over the box that was thrown out by Rourou, and in the end it was fine Undead sat down on the box.

Then the expected heavy hammer blow did not happen, but a slight "click" sound was heard, and the broken wooden box that looked extremely old was actually cracked by my ass.

Then, a golden light overflowed from the box, I jumped up in fright, and quickly hid, my intuition told me that this golden light is not a good thing, I'd better stay away from it, the farther the better.

Rourou reacted faster, immediately took off his coat and directly covered the box with golden light, "Daxian, you go outside first."

Before he finished speaking, I had already gone out of the window.

"It seems to be just a few pieces of paper, and there is a..."

Through the door, Flesh is inside and Zhen is outside, he took out the contents of the box.

"What else? Is there anything written on that paper?" I asked.

But there was no sound inside.

"Fatty?" The inside still didn't answer, and I frowned, "What's inside?"

After a long time, a fleshy reply came from inside, "It's nothing, the paper is too brittle, it shattered when I touched it, and the words on it can't be read clearly, it seems to be some talisman paper for subduing demons and demons." , nothing important."

After a while, the door creaked and was pulled open from the inside.

A smell of soot wafted out as the door opened.

I subconsciously took a few steps back, far away from the door.

"It's just a few pieces of torn talisman paper. I don't know where it was from. I burned it." While talking, Rourou moved away and motioned me to look at a corner of the room. There is a pile of ashes.

ah?This is burned?

Burned before you figured it out?This is not like what the King of Lingbei, who is meticulous and thoughtful, would do.

I looked at Rourou suspiciously, trying to see some clues from his calm and calm face, but there was nothing, there was nothing strange on his face.

"I thought there was some powerful mechanism that made you look like this. It turned out to be just a few pieces of rotten paper, and I don't know which wicked Taoist did it. Thanks to those former emperors and grandpa Taizu, they are all treasures. Put it in the most precious place."

"After the burn is clean, it won't hurt you again, so I can rest assured."

"I'm not a monster." I emphasized emphatically, frowning, and continued to stare at him suspiciously.

"I know, I know, you're a great immortal, of course you're not a monster." As he spoke, he bent over, picked me up, and strode out.

"Hey, I haven't eaten much in the past two days. Now that I've burnt the waste, I'm so relieved that I'm hungry. Did someone come to remind you to eat just now? Let's go, eat first."

I quietly poked my head out of his arms to look at the copper basin full of black ashes in the room, what was in the box, and the meat was burned without even daring me to look at it?

It must be related to me!

Although I deeply feel that the things in that box must be related to me, but the fire is all burned, and the fleshy mouth is as tight as a clam shell. give up.

And after being decadent for three days, I finally decided to keep cheering up. Even if the aura returned to the state of stagnant water, it would only return to the state of the past few hundred years. Hundreds of years have passed, what is there now? Can't make it through?

only--

It's really lonely to not be able to hug and hug fleshy naked anymore...

"What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about shaving my hair." Subconsciously, I said what I was thinking in my heart, but I felt something was wrong as soon as I said it, so I quickly covered my mouth.

But Rourou looked at me with a puzzled expression: "Winter is coming, isn't it cold after shaving? Or... lice?"

I slapped back the meat that was about to jump up with one paw: "You have lice and I won't get lice!"

"That's pretty good..." Flesh touched his forehead, but suddenly he seemed to understand something and hugged me into his arms. According to my forehead and stomach, there was a burst of kisses, so direct that I could no longer scream. It turned into a wow-wah, and then he slowed down, hugged me in his arms, kissed the tip of my ear lightly, and said softly: "Don't worry, you will recover soon, and you will recover." Better, I promise!"

However, at this moment, Zhen, whose mind was muddled by the fleshy kiss, didn't listen to his words that came out of nowhere, and just kept panting for breath.

Just when everyone was rejoicing that the army had the silver in the snow, a very secret message suddenly came from the front line guards - an envoy from Yu Kingdom Imperial Capital came secretly to meet Ling Wuzheng.

"Which side is the messenger?"

"I didn't say it, but they didn't come from the direction of the battlefield, but bypassed the battlefield and walked through the mountain trail."

Hearing such a description, everyone had a rough guess in their hearts. He came from the imperial capital of the Yu Kingdom and had to avoid the frontal battlefield, so the identity of this envoy could almost be revealed.

"I think it should be someone from the Seven Kings."

Everyone exchanged glances with each other, and soon sent someone to pick up the messenger and enter the customs.

The guess is correct, it is indeed the envoy of the Seven Kings who came, and he brought a letter from Situ Sheng, the Seven King of Yu Kingdom.

"For three years in a row, the State of Yu couldn't hold on anymore." Ling Wuzheng showed a pleasant smile on his face after reading the letter.

"How do you say it?" Wei Yin snatched the letter from Ling Wuzheng's hand and read it with surprise, then handed it to Rourou.

"Can the seven kings represent the emperor of Yu?" Wei Yin asked.

"This letter should be written under the instruction of Emperor Yu." Ling Wuzheng read the letter again and said.

"Why did the Seven Kings come forward?" Wei Yin frowned.

"Because the Three Kings refused to step down, once he steps down from the throne, nothing will happen to him at all." Rourou sneered.

"Then do you want to consider peace talks?" Ling Wuzheng looked at Rourou.

"No!" Rourou refused without thinking.

All eyes were on him.

"Don't talk!"

"Back when the father died of illness and the domestic political situation was in turmoil, Yu State tore up the former alliance and suddenly sent 50 troops to directly attack our Shengyu Pass.

"Now seeing that I can't break through the Yuguan Pass with all the power of the country, I just want to get out before my vitality is seriously injured. How can such a cheap thing happen." There was a bang, and there was a moment of silence in the military tent.

Indeed, as long as they think of Yu State's despicable behavior in the past, everyone will be furious.

"Call everyone here and ask everyone what they think." Ling Wuzheng waved his hand and ordered a confidential meeting to be held.

"My subordinates don't agree with peace talks either." At this moment, a young affairs officer in his twenties who was standing on the edge of the big tent suddenly stepped forward and interjected.

Everyone looked at him in surprise. Generally speaking, the topic of "peace" and "war" is discussed among several generals and military advisers, and there is very little room for ordinary officers to speak.

But Ling Wuzheng has always been eclectic with his subordinates, and you can speak up when you have something to say.

Therefore, Ling Wuzheng did not reprimand him for his recklessness, but instead glanced at him with a smile, "What's Hua Siwu's opinion?"

The clerk surnamed Hua bent over to salute the few people seated above him, but turned around and took out a small rattan box with a handle from the place where he was standing just now, then opened it neatly, and took out several thick books from inside. booklet.

No one interrupted him, just waiting for him to continue talking.

"This subordinate has been in charge of the casualty statistics and battle damage investigations of both the enemy and us for the past three years." The affairs officer surnamed Hua spread out the thin books in his hand, and began to count the casualties and battle damage of the Yu Kingdom in the past few years.

Although these data are reported after almost every battle, everyone has never analyzed the casualties and battle damage for three consecutive years in a unified way like now.

"Your Highness and the general should both know that the Yu State claims to have an army of 50, but in fact only 30 to 35 can actually participate in the battle."

"The state of Yu is different from our army in the frontier states. Except for the 50 guards stationed at the border, all the troops in the state of Yu are recruited from long distances. The supplies must be mobilized by the royal court of Yu to solve the food, clothing, housing and transportation of all the troops. To support the 200 troops, at least [-] million civilians are needed, which is an extremely heavy burden for Yu State."

"According to the statistics of my subordinates, in the three years since the war, our army lost a total of 11 elite soldiers, and the number of killed in Yu State was between 7000 and 15."

Hearing this number, the already silent camp became even more silent.

"Although our army also suffered heavy casualties, most of the casualties came from being attacked and killed by Yu State in the early days of the battle. In the first year after the battle, our army lost nearly 6 people, but last year and this year, the casualties are increasing year by year. reduce."

"However, in contrast to our army, the number of casualties in Yu State is increasing year by year."

Subsequently, the affairs officer reported a series of numbers.

"From these data, it can be seen that since the spring of this year, Yu State has shown a very obvious decline. The casualty ratio between the Yu State Army and our Yanwei Army has reached 3:1. , even close to 4:1. And one-third of the captured soldiers of the Yu State Army said that they were originally conscripted into the army and were responsible for the hard labor of transporting supplies to the rear. Before that, they had never even touched weapons. The captured More than a quarter of Yu's weapons are unusable waste, more than half are seriously damaged and barely usable, and the rest of the armor, protective gear, and military horses are also severely damaged. Since the end of July, There were 220 battles between the enemy and us, among which there were 42 battles involving more than a thousand people, and the average duration of these 42 battles was less than half an hour, which is enough to show that the Yu State's army is not stable, and its war-weariness is becoming more and more obvious."

……

"Yu Guo is ambitious. Let them go back for peace talks at this time. They haven't hurt their bones yet. Once their injuries are healed, they will definitely come back."

"That's right. In the past three years, our Yanwei Army has lost 10,000+ elite soldiers and good generals. With such bloody enmity, how can we let them make peace as soon as they say it, and retreat as soon as they say it."

When the affairs officer surnamed Hua finished speaking, some generals immediately jumped out to express their refusal for peace talks.

In the end, the idea of ​​refusing peace talks gained the absolute upper hand. For the sake of longer-term stability in the future, these generals who have fought with Yu State for almost a lifetime almost all made the same choice——

war!

Fight until the state of Yu dare not commit another crime!
