One hundred thousand Zhao troops came in a surprise attack and then suddenly left. The endless yellow land had lost the color it should have had. There were scorch marks burned by the flames, blood stains seeping into the soil, and stumps and broken arms everywhere.
The corpses of war horses were summoned from all directions to the people of Qin who were responsible for clearing the battlefield.
A huge picture should not exist in reality.
Looking at the hell-like scroll opposite, Gong Shuqiu didn't have any fear at all, but instead felt an inexplicable excitement.
"This is the ultimate power that Gongshu is pursuing." Gongshuqiu muttered to himself.
"Mr. Gongshu, something has happened here. It's time for you to go to Hangu Pass, where you can create greater glory." Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze from a distance and said to Gongshu Qiu.
"Yes." Hearing this, Gong Shuqiu showed an expression eager to give it a try.
At this time, on a certain section of the city wall, a young soldier in light armor looked pale at the battlefield opposite that was filled with the smell of fireworks and blood. He felt his stomach churn and couldn't help but lie down.
On top of the city wall, an unspeakable feeling filled my heart.
Is this the battlefield?
No, I have seen war, but it is definitely not like this. One hundred thousand Zhao troops, in less than a quarter of an hour, turned into what they are now.
Am I still unable to become a general?
The young man was Gai Nie. At Yao Jia's request, he successfully joined the army and used practice to verify what he had learned. However, at this time, Gai Nie not only failed to verify what he had learned, but instead made him doubt his life.
After all, I still can't bear to watch such a scene. Ge Nie thought a little sadly.
Xianyang, Chang'an Jun's Mansion.
"The war in Qicheng is over?" Cheng Xi listened to his subordinate's report and was confused for a moment.
At this time, he forgot about hatred and fear, and was only confused.
Why?
It only took him five days to go to Qicheng. After deducting the time spent on the journey, he only stayed in Qicheng for three days.
In three days, 100,000 Zhao troops were mobilized. They were the elite of Zhao State, not the old, weak, sick or disabled. How could it be possible?
Even if there were 300,000 elite Qin troops who wanted to completely wipe out 100,000 elite Zhao troops, it would be impossible to do so in three days.
Cheng Yu looked at the subordinates in front of him, and for a moment he felt his mind was in chaos.
At this time, it was not just Chenglong who was in confusion in his mind, but also his mother Han Ji.
In the Xingle Palace, the Empress Dowager Huayang, the Empress Dowager Xia, and Han Ji are all here.
In front of them, there was an unfolded scroll.
There are not many handwritings on it, but except for Zhao Ji, whether it is the Queen Mother Huayang, the Queen Mother Xia, or Han Ji, they are all very familiar with it, because the owner of the handwriting belongs to Cheng Xi, and the seal above also belongs to
Become a dragon.
"Cheng Yu really colluded with Zhao Jun and informed Zhao Jun of the king's whereabouts?" Queen Mother Huayang said in disbelief.
How could there be such stupid people?
No, that is no longer stupid, but pure bad. At the moment when the whole country of Qin was in dire straits, he actually colluded with outsiders to frame his own brother and his own monarch. What is the difference between such behavior and rebellion?
It's over. Queen Mother Huayang thought, and at the same time, she expressed her intention to Queen Mother Xia and Han Ji.
Empress Xia was expressionless and could not tell her thoughts. Only Han Ji looked lost and frightened.
What happened in Zhiyang Palace at that time? How could my sister be so calm? Doesn’t she care about Chenglong’s life or death anymore?
Or is it that she has given up on Cheng Yu?
"Now, how should we deal with this matter?" Zhao Ji looked around the crowd and asked.
At this time, Zhao Ji's heart was already filled with joy.
Zhao Ji has never had a good impression of Cheng Yu. Now that Cheng Yu has caused such a big disaster, the only person who can protect him, Queen Mother Xia, may not come to help.
You know, the incident in Zhiyang Palace at that time almost led to the death of Queen Mother Xia.
If, at this time, you still want to protect Chenglong, then I am really impressed by your generosity. Zhao Ji thought about it and glanced at Queen Mother Xia, but at this time, he could not see the expression on Queen Mother Xia's face.
See any information.
Why is he so stupid? Han Ji stared blankly at the scroll made of silk in front of her, feeling as if her heart was filled with despair.
She did not plead for Cheng Yu. She knew that this matter had exceeded a certain limit and could not be solved by asking for mercy.
Right now, she could only try her best to save Cheng Xi's life. As for the other things, she couldn't care about anything else.
"The state has national laws, and every family has its own rules. If Cheng Xiu did such a heinous and unethical thing, what else could he do besides dying to atone for his sins?" Empress Dowager Xia said coldly.
Listening to Queen Mother Xia's words, Han Ji couldn't help but tremble. The current situation was more serious than she imagined.
Did what happened last time really break her mother-in-law's heart? Han Ji didn't dare to say anything at this time. She knew that she was the one with the least say here.
"After all, there were no more serious consequences. Wouldn't that be too harsh?" Zhao Ji said with a bit of magnanimity, hesitating.
Of course, only the real winner is qualified to be generous, just like Zhao Ji at this time.
Because Zhao Ji thought that death is just a moment of pain for Cheng Xi, and it can only torture the people who care about Cheng Xi, and this person seems to have no one except Han Ji as her mother, and Han Ji,
To be honest, Zhao Ji doesn't really hate Han Ji.
Although Zhao Ji has a natural hostility towards Han Ji because of her position, this hostility is limited to her position, not because of Han Ji as a person.
Only living is the cruelest and longest torture for Chenglong.
Thinking of Cheng Xi who wanted to seize her Zheng'er throne, Zhao Ji couldn't help but gnashed her teeth with hatred. If it was just death, wouldn't it be too cheap for Cheng Xi?
"There are no serious consequences. That's God bless the king. If Cheng Yu succeeds, not only the king, but also the Qin State will fall into a place of eternal disaster. By that time, how can we have the face to see the Qin State after death?
Ancestor, if it was just a personal betrayal, it can be forgiven, but what Cheng Yu did this time was a betrayal of the Qin State." Empress Dowager Xia said coldly.
"Even if we can forgive him, the people of Qin will not forgive him, and the ancestors of Qin will not forgive him." Queen Mother Xia said.
"Although that makes sense, it is too cruel to the living people." Zhao Ji said with compassion.
Acting is a woman's talent, let alone a woman like Zhao Ji.
"Furthermore, since the king only handed this matter over to us, and not to Tingwei Mansion and Zongzheng Mansion, I think he also wanted to protect his only younger brother, Cheng Yu." Zhao Ji said.
Hearing Zhao Ji's words, the three Queen Mothers of Huayang looked at Zhao Ji together.
Is this what Zhao Ji can say?
Surprised and grateful, the difference was that her gaze fell on Zhao Ji's eyes, which made Zhao Ji a little proud. She only felt that there was something behind her buttocks that wanted to curl up.
"Perhaps this is what your Majesty means." Queen Mother Huayang said in agreement.
"Then what is your opinion?" Queen Mother Xia looked at Zhao Ji and said, there was something else in her eyes.
