Xia Yan looked at the food on the table and the glass of rice wine next to it.
Well, Eunuch Luo really didn't lie. He said he could only have one cup today and it turned out to be only one cup.
Everything seems to be because Xing Daorong occupied Xi State.
Looking at the young man's poor wine, Xia Yan wailed: "It's so bitter~!!~"
This also made Xia Yan's determination stronger, and there must be no problems in the Zhu Kingdom in the future.
As long as there are no problems on Zhuguo's side, the other three routes should also face difficulties.
By then, if the Three Kingdoms are completely angered and a three-on-one situation is formed, then one's own situation will also be in danger.
In general, although it is very different from my expectations, the initiative is still in my own hands.
Although the error tolerance rate is not high, the probability of ultimate success is still high.
The most important thing now is naturally that the Zhu Kingdom cannot be solved within twelve days.
After thinking about all this, Xia Yan looked at the glass of wine beside him and said nothing more.
Silently, I raised my wine glass to the bright moon in the sky.
"To go back, to a small goal, cheers!"
at the same time.
Candle Kingdom, Ring City, Wasteland outside the city gate.
Chen Heishan, carrying five thousand men and a lot of equipment, was shivering in the wasteland.
"Grandma is so stupid. The weather here is poisonous. It's extremely hot during the day and freezing to death at night. It's really unlucky that you have to suffer this at such an old age."
Next to Chen Heishan is a sturdy man who looks a bit young. He looks about thirty years old and has a tall and tall body.
"Dad, I have heard from several uncles that you requested to come to Zhuguo that day. How can you say it is bad luck?"
The man's name is Chen Binqi, he is Chen Heishan's ninth son, and he has just turned 30 years old.
After hearing this, Chen Heishan said angrily: "You are the only one who would find fault with your father, right? I am already seventy-six years old and have dedicated my whole life to Daxia. Why don't you allow me to complain?"
Hearing this, Chen Binqi pursed his lips and said nothing.
How could he not know what good things his father had done for Daxia?
I shout at home all day long that it is a lifelong regret that I have never been to the battlefield.
Now it's better, now that we are actually on the battlefield, we are complaining every day.
The conditions along the way were too difficult. I would sometimes complain about the strong wind and sand, and sometimes complain about the hot weather.
Because I was tired even while riding a horse, the journey that could have been reached in one day ended up taking nearly two days.
In short, Chen Heishan now has long forgotten the hardships he had when he was a general in his youth.
But after all, he is the coach of this expedition, so naturally no one has the nerve to criticize him.
Now everything is finally set up, which can be considered a great achievement.
After sitting for a while, Chen Heishan seemed to remember something and said to Chen Binqi beside him.
"Son, when you have time, find a place to scatter the black powder on our car."
Chen Binqi looked a little confused and pointed to the supply lane filled with black powder: "Is this the car?"
"Yes, these things weigh 800 kilograms. Let's find a place to scatter them."
"Damn it, then why did we drag it all the way for two whole days? Isn't it heavy?!"
Chen Binqi responded directly and loudly, while Chen Heishan said helplessly when he heard this.
"There's nothing I can do. I don't dare to throw it too close. If His Majesty finds out, we won't be able to eat it and carry it around."
"What's the meaning?"
Seeing that Chen Binqi's face was slightly solemn, Chen Heishan had no choice but to tell the truth.
"This is doing your Uncle Yuan a favor..."
Chen Heishan slowly told Chen Binqi about Yuan Liyang. He and Xing Daorong each carried 800 kilograms away in order to help him clean up these broken things.
Unexpectedly, Chen Binqi's expression changed after hearing this.
"Then if His Majesty asks you how you handled the powder, how would you explain it?"
"Um...well..."
Chen Heishan scratched his head, he really hadn't thought about this problem.
Seeing this, Chen Binqi looked like a child who couldn't be taught.
"From what you said a few times ago, Your Majesty has always been very clever and unpredictable. If it is an unimportant thing, why would Your Majesty put it in the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue instead of letting others throw it away directly?"
"this……"
Chen Heishan was at a loss for words. Chen Binqi continued: "Taking it a step back, even if it is really unimportant, if His Majesty asks you what you took it for and you can't tell me, wouldn't it be a mistake to take it indiscriminately?"
Material charges?”
"Hiss...it seems like it's really possible."
Thinking of this, Chen Heishan also began to shed a few drops of sweat on his face.
It's true that I didn't think carefully.
"What do you think it should be?"
Chen Binqi looked at the cart of powder with a straight face and whispered: "Send it back wherever you came from, otherwise we will be in trouble if something happens."
"Anyway, this powder must not be thrown away!"
"That's right." Chen Heishan nodded and stroked his long gray beard, "After this battle, we will send him back together, otherwise we will get into trouble."
The black powder was naturally eight hundred kilograms of gunpowder, so the gunpowder that was originally intended to be hauled away and dumped was left in the car.
The second day...
"You little thieves from the Zhu Kingdom inside, open the door quickly and accept your surrender. As long as you open the door, I will protect you from death!! Open the door quickly!!"
"If you don't open the door, come out quickly and fight me to the death. Don't be a coward there!!"
"…………"
"..."
Outside the city, Daxia's army was bombarded with insults one after another. The generals inside the city were scolded and blushed, but they did not dare to make the slightest move.
Because behind him was a man wearing heavy armor. The man was tall and mighty, with a mustache that made him look like a Zhuguo man who had lived a good life.
The man's name is Kato Hime. It is said that he possesses a long spear that enables him to achieve extraordinary feats. At the same time, he has also practiced an extremely rare magical skill in the martial arts world: One Yang Finger.
Kato-hime is the Commander-in-Chief of the Candle Kingdom's Guards. Kato-hime has never spoken, so who among the others dares to speak?
At this moment, Kato-hime looked at the outside of the city wall solemnly, her face as cold as iron.
"I didn't expect that Daxia would be so fast and come to our door right now."
As the Grand Governor, Katohime naturally knows all the information.
In just half a month, Daxia defeated the two powerful countries of Yu and Xi, and its territory expanded wildly.
You know, among the six countries bordering Daxia, Xi State and Yu State are the two most powerful countries.
The fact that these two countries were occupied is enough to illustrate the strength of Daxia.
At this moment, Daxia comes to visit. If Kato-hime underestimates Daxia again, her heart will really stop for a while - there is no hope. This chapter has been completed!
