rebirth [rebirth]

After two rounds of shelling, Lu Jiming waved the soldiers to stop.

Now the Shuntian camp is in a mess, no matter how many soldiers come out of the camp to meet the enemy later, they will not be the opponent of Chu Jun.

Soon, the half-collapsed gate of the camp was pulled open from the inside, and two armored generals rode out from the inside and moved forward slowly.

Both of them looked like middle-aged men, the one in front was a little bit bigger, while the one in the back was a little pale and weak, with loose armor on his body, which looked nondescript.

After the two of them came out, the door was not closed, but no one appeared again.

The two men walked slowly to Chu Jun's range, sat on the horse and remained silent.

Lu Jiming was standing beside Rong Jingxuan, seeing this he hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, will you take it down?"

Rong Jingxuan shook his head and narrowed his eyes to look carefully.

It's a bit ridiculous to say, for so many years he and Chen Shengzhi have come and gone, fighting to the death, but they have never met each other.

For him, Chen Shengzhi was not as familiar as his generals.

In his memory, Chen Shengzhi will always be the honest and honest portrait in the scroll, and this is the first time he has seen a real person.

Much older than he remembered, and not as burly as in the portrait, looking very tired.

At this time Chen Shengzhi came out to meet the enemy himself, obviously not to surrender, Rong Jingxuan was very surprised by his move, but after being surprised, he became somewhat clear.

After all, the person who drove their Rong family out of Yong'an was not a coward.

In the past half a year, Chen Shengzhi's government orders chilled his subordinates very much, and made Rong Jingxuan very painful.If he loses to a talented hero, he will admit it, but what Chen Shengzhi has done is really not worthy of that title.

There's nothing sadder than beating your opponent in a bad way.

But now, when Rong Jingxuan saw him in armor and riding on a horse with a frank face, he finally felt that this man had really led an army of tens of thousands into Yong'an.

Rong Jingxuan shook his head slightly at Lu Jiming, got out of the chariot and put on a horse.

Xie Mingze stood in the car and looked at him, obviously he also recognized who the other party was: "What are you going to do?"

Rong Jingxuan straightened his belt, turned around and smiled at him: "I'll go meet this Emperor Chen for a while."

Xie Mingze frowned: "I'll accompany you."

Rong Jingxuan waved his hand: "No, he didn't come to find fault, so don't worry."

His attitude was very firm, and there were soldiers from Da Chu around him, so Xie Mingze did not directly refute, but said in a deep voice, "Be careful."

Rong Jingxuan smiled and nodded, then put his feet on the horse's belly and walked forward slowly.

Xie Mingze looked at his back with an unhappy expression on his face.

In front of so many people, he always kept his identity in mind.Rong Jingxuan is the king, he is the minister, there is no reason in this world for a minister to order the king, no matter how worried he is, he will never refute him in front of everyone.

As an emperor, what he wants is the awe and respect of the people and ministers, and this respect must first come from him, the deputy general and assistant minister.

Rong Jingxuan walked forward, and the soldiers on both sides made way for him to walk in front of Chen Shengzhi.

Chen Shengzhi looked at him silently, and finally said, "Chen Shengzhi."

Rong Jingxuan was very serious, and said in a deep voice, "Rong Jingxuan."

He was already taller than Chen Shengzhi, and the young man was tall and straight like a green pine, and his bearing was like a rainbow, no matter how you looked at him, he was better than Chen Shengzhi.

Chen Shengzhi suddenly smiled: "Da Chen has come to the end, and I will not run for my life. I just hope that you can treat the captives kindly. They were once Da Chu's people."

Rong Jingxuan said: "Da Chu has always ruled with benevolence and never treated his subjects harshly."

Chen Shengzhi looked at him seriously, and suddenly smiled miserably: "I have an unfeeling request, and I hope Your Excellency will accept it."

"please say."

"I want to fight your Excellency one last time, regardless of life or death."

He said that it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, he just wants to die with some honor in the end.Although it will be Rong Jingxuan who will write the history books in the future, from the conversation between the two of them just now, Chen Shengzhi knows that he is a man who walks the talk.

He will not tamper with history indiscriminately.

As an emperor, a farmer who was once poor and poor, and his whole family starved to death, Chen Shengzhi has experienced many times of happiness from nothing in his life, and also experienced many times of pain from nothing to nothing.

Now, it is time for him to follow his wife, children and parents.

Rong Jingxuan looked at him intently, and smiled freely: "Okay!"

He took off his cloak, threw it to the soldier next to him, and then stretched out his hand: "Give me the long knife."

His set of saber techniques were all taught by Feng Yichi himself when he was young, and he practiced hard these years, which naturally made him quite stable.

Xie Mingze saw him holding the long knife and running directly to Chen Shengzhi's side, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

He tightly squeezed the armrest of the chariot, staring fixedly at the front, where Rong Jingxuan and Chen Shengzhi were having a good fight.

Chen Shengzhi, a farmer, had never practiced martial arts since he was a child. Later, he led the rebellion and won a few victories only by brute force.Afterwards, he had more and more generals under him, and he never went to the battlefield in person again.

The set of kung fu in his hands is really not good enough, not to mention the knife skills, even he is not very good with the knife, and it cannot be compared with Rong Jingxuan at all.

Rong Jingxuan didn't even use his full strength, and he immediately struck forward diagonally, sparking a spark on his armor.

Chen Shengzhi managed to hide to the side, so that half of his arm was not cut off, but his face was very calm: "I am not good at martial arts, your Excellency is laughing at me."

Rong Jingxuan turned around with a smile, and directly stabbed him with a long knife: "Your Excellency, you are welcome."

Between the two people's words, the flashes of swords and swords were so smooth, Chen Shengzhi was quickly defeated, his arms and waist were stabbed, and he was bleeding slowly.

Rong Jingxuan was safe and sound.

One of them has practiced martial arts since childhood, and the martial arts are superb, and the other has become a monk halfway through, and has not seriously practiced.From the very beginning, the outcome of this competition was already doomed.

But Xie Mingze was still very nervous. He believed in Rong Jingxuan's martial arts, and he could indeed judge the gap between the two rationally, but swords have no eyes, so who knows what accidents might happen.

He was a little angry at Rong Jingxuan's self-assertion, but he also told himself that Rong Jingxuan was right to do so.

As a commander-in-chief, as the lord of a country, only when he personally steps forward to defeat another country's army can the soldiers' morale be boosted.

As long as he saw the adoring eyes and shouts of Da Chu's soldiers, he knew that Rong Jingxuan's choice could not be more correct.

The feeling of him personally defeating the opponent who had captured their country, stabbing him off the horse so that he could never get up again, made the soldiers' blood boil.

They regained Chongli, Fengyu and so on all the way, although they also felt happy and excited, but this time made them tremble all over.

Defeating Chen Shengzhi seemed to have passed that hurdle.

Chen Shengzhi is still struggling.

There were more and more injuries on his body, and his armor gradually turned vermilion, but he still didn't beg for mercy, and gritted his teeth to support it all.

This is what he should do, for the dignity of the Chen clan, and for the soldiers who once worked for him, he died on the battlefield, fighting to the last moment, so as not to disgrace the blood they shed for him.

Chen Shengzhi finally fell off his horse.

He was in great pain, lying on the cold ground in a daze, with the excited cheers of Da Chu soldiers beside his ears.

They are talking.

"Kill him, Your Majesty killed him."

"Long live Your Majesty, Long live Da Chu!"

Chen Shengzhi smiled bleakly, and in his last sight was Rong Jingxuan's blade flashing coldly, and a faint cry.

The man cried and called him: "Your Majesty..."

For a moment, Chen Shengzhi felt relaxed all over, and he was even a little happy.

For a person like him, even if someone cried for him before he left, his life was not in vain.

Rong Jingxuan took the knife up and down, and took Chen Shengzhi's life cleanly.

He raised his long knife high and waved his arms at his soldiers: "Rescue me, Da Chu, the country is peaceful and the people are safe!"

The soldiers blushed with excitement, and shouted after him at the top of their lungs: "Rescue me, Da Chu, the country is peaceful and the people are safe!"

Standing on the chariot, Xie Mingze finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jingxuan... Jingxuan..." He didn't follow the others to shout out the slogan that was still uttered by him, but just leaned on the railing and silently recited Rong Jingxuan's name.

Today, he finally understood Rong Jingxuan's feelings when he knew that he was in danger.

That day at Guangqing County Sheriff's Mansion, he was right.

Even if Rong Jingxuan was not injured, he still felt his hands and feet were cold, and his heartbeat seemed unstoppable.

Fear is like a seed buried in the hearts of each of them.

They are not afraid of their own death, what they are afraid of is that the person they love the most will leave them.

"I was wrong about Jingxuan, I really understand."

In front, Rong Jingxuan was standing next to Chen Shengzhi's body, Sheng Zhongxiao knelt down on the ground, helping him close his eyes with trembling hands.

There were bloodstains around his neck, and he looked horrific.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Zhongxiao will come to accompany you." Sheng Zhongxiao whispered.

He quickly drew the dagger from Chen Shengzhi's waist, and thrust it into his chest.

The moment the sharp knife pierced his heart was so painful, he panted in pain, letting the blood spurt out of his throat.

His father was also an old scholar who had never won an exam in his life, but he was very generous in naming him.

His name is Zhongxiao. Loyalty to the monarch and filial piety to his parents are just the simplest expectations of his father.

Sheng Zhongxiao fell headfirst on Chen Shengzhi's cold body, completely out of breath.

He probably didn't insult his name.

Three days later, on December 28, Chu's army defeated Chen's army in Luoping.

From this day on, this short dynasty has completely become history.

Since then, there has been no big Chen.

On December 29, the regent was furious because the governors of the second northern counties failed to return to the court three times, and ordered the general Wu Shu to lead [-] troops to take Fengcheng directly.

On the same day, Rong Jingxuan's army of Chu attacked the border, pointing directly at Yong'an.

This cold winter day in the first year of Yongyan's new calendar is about to be shrouded in red.

The people are all hiding at home, wanting to survive the turbulent Spring Festival.

The bell of that year's thirty rang throughout Yong'an, and the horns of Chu Jun outside the city followed closely behind, sounding the prelude to the Yong'an War.
