Heaven

One month, or has it been two months?

Repeating the same thing every day, Meng Ben only remembers that the top of the city was washed with blood over and over again, and the brothers around him changed one after another, but he couldn't remember how long he had stood here.

There was no reserve army anymore, all the brothers were resting on the battlements with their clothes on, squinting their eyes, waiting for the arrival of a new round of enemy attacks.

Suddenly, I don't know who called "enemy attack".Everyone grabbed their weapons one after another, but only saw a brother waving the knife in his hand crazily, as if he was fighting an invisible enemy.

Meng Ben sighed, picked up his long knife, dodged behind the man, hit the back of his head with the scabbard knife, grabbed the weapon in his hand, and caught the man.

"Take him down for a rest, and you lie down for a while." He pointed to a soldier who had lost an arm.Fighting against the city day and night, everyone's nerves are stretched to the extreme. Recently, there are more and more brothers who suddenly go crazy like this. Alas... reinforcements, when will the reinforcements from Chu arrive?

Meng Ben looked forward to the arrival of the Chu army more and more day by day, but became more desperate every day.

It's better to hurry up and take a rest, the Jing army's offensive will start again before dawn.Holding the knife in his arms, Meng Ben sat down on the spot and closed his eyes.

Why think so much, the battle to the death is the end.

Awakened by a burst of cheers, Meng Ben opened his eyes and saw that the brothers on the top of the city shouted something with red eyes.Damn it, I actually fell asleep, what happened?He frowned and jumped up from the ground.

"General Meng, they are here!" His lieutenant shouted excitedly, tugging at his arm.

Who's coming?Meng Ben frowned and looked down the city.

It was the moment when the sun was rising. Even on this blood-stained battlefield, the sun still seemed so full of vitality, coating everything with a light layer of gold.

However, this scenery is obviously not the reason that can make the soldiers on the top of the city almost cry with excitement.

The torrent, the black torrent, the continuous black torrent, the black torrent that tore through the Jing army's defense line...

At this moment, even Meng Ben, who has always been recognized as a hero, couldn't help but have moist eyes.

Chu Jun, Chu Jun finally arrived.

"I'm going to ask for orders to go out of the city and join forces with the Chu army." Meng Ben suddenly came back to his senses, our morale has rarely increased, and if we don't take advantage of this moment to defeat the Jing army, when will we wait!

He hurried down to the city.

Zhao Xin, the Marquis of Dingxiang, finally thought that Zhao's soldiers and horses were too tired to go out of the city to meet them, but after the Chu army broke up the encirclement of the Jing army, they opened the city gate to welcome Jing Mingrui's men and horses in.

Meng Ben didn't dare to relax the city defenses, so he left half of his brothers on the tower and let everyone take turns to rest.

Damn it!He actually missed this great opportunity in vain. When the general was around, he would definitely order an attack!Meng Ben thumped the city wall, alas... the general, how could the general do such a thing?

"Congratulations to welcome His Majesty Chu Emperor to Julu." Zhao Xin smiled brightly and cupped his hands in the direction of the imperial city. I come to greet Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will be happy."

Working hard on military affairs?Jing Mingrui didn't quite believe it, that King Zhao, who had never learned anything, would get tired and sick from military affairs?It might be possible to say that he was sick from fear.But since there are people with real power in Zhao Guo present, the subsequent actions are the same as Zhao Xintan.

He nodded indifferently, and followed Zhao Xin into the mansion specially prepared for him.

"I have already designated a large area in the west of the city as the garrison of the Chu army. I don't know how many troops His Majesty has brought, so I can also prepare food and supplies to serve the army." theme.

It seems that the Marquis of Dingxiang, who is famous for his tricks to help the King of Zhao to make money, is not just a mediocre man?At least from his eyes, Jing Mingrui can see that his ability and dexterity are very human.

Before entering the city, Jing Mingrui divided his troops into two groups, and let Li Di lead more than half of the troops to hide, and surrounded the Jing army from behind.

However, he didn't intend to tell Zhao Xin about this matter, he just said with a sad face: "Oh...it's really bad luck to say it! I encountered a lot of troubles on the road to the west, and lost many troops before the war started. 25 There is only a small half of Wan Da good man. Hehe, Da Chu really lost everything when he came to rescue Zhao Guo this time!"

"How did this happen?" Zhao Xin looked surprised, as if he couldn't believe that the world-famous Chu army lost more than [-] people in the middle of the way, "Could it be that the Jing army is a feint attack, and the real main force is intercepting His Majesty in the middle of the way? "

"That's not right, the strength of the troops attacking the city day and night does not seem to be fake. Could it be that the Jing army lied about the number of people, but in fact the number of troops is far more than 30?" Zhao Xin frowned and seemed to feel a little incredible. It can be said that they came out in full force.

A bit of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Jing Mingrui's face: "That's not true, it's just that the commander of the Jing army was too evil and poisoned the road. I almost got out of it by paving a bloody road with my life."

He suddenly turned cold: "Didn't you say that only the king of Zhao and a few generals knew about this secret passage? Why did the Jing army know about it now? I wonder how Marquis Dingxiang would explain it?"

"This... this..." Zhao Xin rubbed his hands and couldn't speak. He pondered for a while, and suddenly realized, "Your Majesty, I remembered that not long after the Jing army besieged the city, the defenders in the city came out with traitors. If it weren't for this, the defenders in Julu City wouldn't be so dangerous."

Zhao Xin explained the civil strife in the city to Jing Mingrui in detail: at the end he said bitterly, "It seems that the thief Gu Jian learned about this secret passage from nowhere and informed Jing Jun of the news, and killed him at the beginning. It’s really cheap for him, and he should be hacked into pieces!”

"I don't care who is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. In short, the problem lies with you Zhao people. This leak has caused me to lose so many soldiers. King Zhao must give me an explanation!" Jing Mingrui waved his hands impatiently, with a somewhat tough attitude.

"This is natural, this is natural." Zhao Xin nodded repeatedly, "As long as the Jing army is repelled, the loss of the Chu army will be doubled. Now I am willing to promise on behalf of the king that after the Jing army retreats this time, Da Zhao is willing to add the seven cities in the north as a reward for His Majesty's kindness."

It seems that this Zhao Xin has a lot of power in the Zhao country, and he was able to make such a promise without fear of being blamed by the Zhao king.Jing Mingrui nodded to express his satisfaction: "I have already dispatched reinforcements from Chu State, and they will arrive in a few days. Humph, this time we must make these Jing people come and go!"

Seeing that he had no intention of withdrawing from this battle, and instead fought to the death with Jing Guo, Zhao Xin couldn't help showing joy: "Then...that's really thank you Your Majesty, please rest early today, and I will come to see Your Majesty tomorrow to discuss Is there a good way to defeat the enemy?"

Jing Mingrui nodded with narrowed eyes, and asked his generals to send Zhao Xin away.

It was the first time to confront the Jing army head-on today. Jing Mingrui felt that although the overall strength of the Jing army was good, it was not as experienced as the Chu army, and the opponent's commander...

Lan Sijie obviously had more than enough scheming and scheming, but not enough grasp of the overall situation of the battlefield, and his ability to respond to accidents was also very lacking.Heh heh, why did that bastard in Jing country find such a man from a Jianghu gang to be the commander in chief?

Jing Mingrui judged at the first moment that the main combat faction in Jing Kingdom might be slightly better than the conservative faction with the support of the emperor, so the emperor's confidant was chosen as the commander of the army instead of the general Qin Yu or any other army. veteran.

This is good news. As long as Jing Jun is severely injured this time, he will be forced to be a turtle under domestic pressure for a while.How to take advantage of this opportunity to get Zhao Guo is something that needs to be carefully considered...

Jing Mingrui walked to his yard in deep thought.

This courtyard is well built, every stone and tree is interesting.

Jing Mingrui came up with several feasible plans, felt relieved, and walked on the path to admire the flowers in the courtyard.I heard that this kind of flower is also found in Xiaofenghuang's hometown, and he has liked it very much since he was a child...

Thinking of the news that Ji Kongqing had saved someone and escaped safely not long ago, Jing Mingrui felt even better.If Jing Jun was dealt with in time before he arrived, maybe he could enjoy the flowers with him, the corner of his mouth hooked.

Jing Mingrui did not expect that there were two surprises waiting for him in his room!

Having a little understanding of the affair, he finally didn't directly kill the two naked people lying on his bed.

The same eyebrows, the same eyes, they are obviously a pair of twin brothers.

Jing Mingrui felt the breath of the two of them carefully.Very good, they don't know martial arts, and there is obviously nowhere to hide weapons on their bodies, so they can only get information out of it.Jing Mingrui didn't bother to use his brain anymore, and was just about to throw the person out, but suddenly remembered another thing.

"Zhao Xin asked you to come?" Jing Mingrui walked into the room with a warm smile on his face.

Although these two brothers have been trained for a long time, but from Zhao Xin's tone, it is obvious that the person who will serve tonight is much higher than Zhao Xin. In relation to the current situation in the city, besides His Majesty the Emperor Chu, this person is also Who will it be?

Therefore, when Jing Mingrui pushed the door and came in, they were actually very nervous.

Unexpectedly, the door was not opened straight, Jing Mingrui seemed to sense someone in the room when he opened it halfway, and suddenly stopped what he was doing.After pausing for a moment, the two felt a murderous aura swirling around them, and couldn't help but jump up in fear.Could it be that he is going to die here in a daze tonight?

Fortunately, the murderous intent disappeared in a flash, and His Majesty Chu Emperor came in with a smile on his face and asked them questions.His Majesty looks so young, and also very...handsome, just like the guests he used to serve!

The hearts of the two couldn't help thumping.

"Yes, Lord Hou asked the younger ones to serve His Majesty and relieve His Majesty." The younger brother was quicker to react, and immediately got up to greet Jing Mingrui.

Jing Mingrui sat on a chair and waved to them: "Come here, come and sit here first, I have something to ask you."

My brother also got up from the bed.He hesitated for a moment, but still grabbed a shirt on the side and put it on his body.Although looking at it like this makes people's blood spurt even more, it is still somewhat concealed.

Sensing that Jing Mingrui obviously didn't want to have physical contact with him, the younger brother frowned.

I have seen this kind of guests a lot, and each of them pretended to be a gentleman at the beginning, and it seemed that they were insulted even if they were touched by themselves, and some even later never touched their own bodies except for the contact there.Hmph, so what's the difference, isn't it still throwing fire on me?

But looking at Jing Mingrui's appearance, it doesn't look like he has any special hobbies, as long as it can save his brother from suffering, who wouldn't pretend?

He immediately grabbed a gauze dress and put it on, but deliberately opened the front, put on an obedient expression and pulled his elder brother to sit beside him, while he sat beside Jing Mingrui.

Jing Mingrui watched with great interest as the expression on his face quickly changed from wanton to innocent, and asked with a smile: "Do you feel comfortable when you serve others?"

"That's natural." The younger brother nodded shyly with a blushing face, "If it's with Your Majesty...with Your Majesty, just thinking about me... I can't bear it anymore!"

"To tell the truth, someone will send you to Chu State tomorrow, and you will be free after crossing the border." Jing Mingrui's expression suddenly became serious, "If you tell lies, I don't have to wait until tomorrow, I will send you back to Zhao Xin right now. , and find one or two mistakes by the way..."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" My brother couldn't help but knelt down on the ground and kowtowed desperately, his forehead soon turned red.

"Ah!" The younger brother came to his senses and hurried to support his elder brother.What a fool, I dared to play tricks in front of Emperor Chu!

But...but this opportunity that I had been looking forward to for countless days and nights suddenly fell in front of me!

He gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth: "Returning to Your Majesty, it must be uncomfortable for the first time, and some people may not be able to adapt to it even after a long time. However, there are skills in this kind of thing, and if it is done well It's a happy thing. And the one who bears it also has a way to actively seek happiness. It's just... just, if there is no love in the heart, it is no different from being in hell!"

When the elder brother heard his words, he couldn't help being startled, and hurried over to cover his mouth. Wouldn't it be courting death to say such things in front of the guests?

Jing Mingrui was taken aback, feeling mixed feelings in his heart...

After pondering for a while, he finally sighed, nodded and said, "Got it, tell me all the methods and techniques you know, and someone will send you away tomorrow morning."

Ji Kongqing rode his horse and galloped.

Thanks to Jing Mingquan's timely action, both he and Qiu Yueren were rescued unscathed.All of Shuramen's subordinates were also almost wiped out, only Wushuang was injured and escaped.

In fact, he could have retreated completely, but he wanted to kill Qiu Yueren with the last blow, but was startled for a moment by what he said, and was stabbed in the shoulder by Jing Mingquan instead.

"Your master's life is not long, and...hehe, if you want to fulfill your wish, you might as well consider another way!"

Ji Kongqing asked Qiu Yueren afterwards if Mu Ruo was really about to die.But he said that he couldn't see through Muruo completely, but he felt a sense of death from the bottom of his heart, probably either he was about to die or wanted to die.

Would a man like him have a will to die?Ji Kongqing was a little puzzled.

Sudden--

Ji Kongqing felt a strong palpitation, as if his heart was suddenly grasped by an invisible hand, and he was suddenly so weak that he almost fell off the horse.

After a while, recovering a little, he reined in desperately, and stopped on the side of the road to catch his breath.

What is this feeling of fear?

Is it...

Mingrui? !
