The bright moon dominated the world during the Qin Dynasty

The night fire is silent and the palace is silent.

Mi Xin woke up from her nightmare on the exquisite bed in the palace.

"Somebody come!"

Mi Xin was thirsty and wanted to drink water, but no one around responded.

This unusual sight made Mi Xin, who had grown up in suffering since childhood, instantly become alert.

The sound of pig iron rubbing against the floor came from outside the palace. This sound was very soft. When Mi Xin was a child, she had heard it when she was a soldier in the empire escorting prisoners.

Perhaps the scene at the time was too profound, or perhaps Mi Xin's childhood escape life was too difficult. Even now that she became the king, Mi Xin could not forget it and recalled it immediately.

In the empty palace, Mi Xin stood up, and her beautiful female posture was clearly revealed.

The skin as white and lubricated as milk trembled slightly under the thin clothes, and the long black hair like cicada wings was no longer as smooth as before and looked a bit messy. At this time, the King of Chu no longer had the majesty of the past, as if A helpless but stubborn child.

This is the palace of King Chu, surrounded by many guards.

But now, it's unusually quiet outside.

Mi Xin didn't know what happened, but she could only take the sword from the sword stand on the side and hold it tightly in her hand.

She faced the closed palace door, as if a giant beast would rush in at any time.

"Somebody come!"

Mi Xin roared again, this time using all her strength. But like last time, no one responded.

"Somebody come!"

The two words with a slightly angry tone spread throughout the palace. Just as Mi Xin took a deep breath to calm her heart, the closed door suddenly opened.

The terrifying giant snake broke in from outside the palace door, wrapped in black aura.

A pair of scarlet eyes revealed a fierce light in the aura of despair. Even after experiencing the suffering in the world, Mi Xin's hands were still trembling at this time.

Mi Xin almost thought it was a dream, but the cold light on the sword's edge reminded her that it was real.

"Who are you?"

A dark figure came from outside the palace.

As he moved, the giant black iron snakes also moved, giving the palace a great sense of oppression.

"The King of East Yue, Tianze!"

Tianze?

Not many people in the Central Plains know this name.

In fact, after the imperial army conquered Baiyue, this name that once brought great fear to people in Xinzheng, the old capital of South Korea, was also wiped out with the wind.

South Korea has died, and the people who once left a page in the old capital of South Korea have naturally disappeared with them.

But now, he appears again.

"what do you want to do?"

"The king would like to invite the princess for a moment!"

King? Princess?

Mi Xin was very concerned about these two words, but soon, she had a guess in her mind.

"Zhao Shuang?"

Tianze didn't answer, just nodded.

Mi Xin suddenly smiled. There is so much meaning in this laughter.

Even with Tianze's experience, he couldn't guess the emotion in this laughter.

I saw the beautiful woman in front of me put on her coat and walked out without looking back. Before leaving, he even said goodbye.

"Zhao Shuang!"

…

The King of Chu disappeared, and the allied army camp outside Xingyang was in chaos.

However, the princes were not very interested in finding the King of Chu. They were more interested in discussing who should be the next leader of the princes alliance.

The Xiang family originally relied on the name of the King of Chu to take charge of the military and political affairs of the coalition. But now, he was suddenly pushed to the edge.

"Yu'er, why are you back!"

Fan Zeng looked at the angry Xiang Shaoyu and asked hurriedly.

"Qin hasn't been destroyed yet, but they started fighting first."

Xiang Shaoyu cursed loudly and was very dissatisfied.

"Zhao Xie and Tian Rong were fighting for the position of leader of the princes. Wei Bao was also different from the past and alienated from us. I couldn't speak at all there. How could these noble kings think highly of me as a general? I was still there. do what?"

"Shaoyu, now is not the time to vent your anger."

Fan Zeng touched his beard and sighed.

"Zhao Shuang's move is really powerful! Without spending a single soldier, he made the coalition forces split up for a joint vertical position. If this continues, before Xingyang City is broken, we ourselves will be in chaos first."

After hearing this, Xiang Shaoyu hit Shuai An hard.

"This Zhao Shuang only knows how to hide in Xingyang City and eat the food sent by Aocang every day. Where did his courage go when he defeated my 200,000 Chu army in front of Longwang Mountain?"

Qin's destruction of Chu has always been an indelible pain in Xiang Shaoyu's heart.

If you want to take revenge and restore your country, you must attack Guanzhong and destroy Qin.

In addition, defeating Zhao Shuang on the battlefield is also a necessary part.

Xiang Shaoyu has been looking forward to the battle.

But during these days under Xingyang City, this battle never came.

The situation on the coalition side made Xiang Shaoyu a little irritable, but Fan Zeng remained calm.

The wise Fan Zeng smelled something unusual in the coalition camp, which was becoming more and more impetuous these days.

"Shaoyu, have you ever felt that there seems to be a pair of invisible hands in this camp, pulling all the forces in the coalition farther and farther away?"

Xiang Shaoyu calmed down, and the anxiety from before was gone from his voice.

"Yafu, are you saying that there is a spy from Zhao Shuang in our camp who is trying to create discord?"

"No, judging from the current momentum, it may not be as simple as a spy. The other party seems to have taken root in the coalition and is implementing a complex plan."

Xiang Shaoyu groaned.

"But I didn't notice anything unusual."

"This is the scary thing about the other party. He can complete his plan without us being aware of it. He is absolutely extraordinary!"

Fan Zeng sighed.

"Zhao Shuang's subordinates are really talented!"

"General, Yafu, King Zhao is leaving with his army."

Zhong Lihuan's urgent words brought Fan Zeng back to reality. At this moment, Fan Zeng lost his composure and ran out immediately.

Seeing Fan Zeng's appearance, Zhong Lihuan looked helpless and stayed where he was, looking at Xiang Shaoyu.

"Let Yafu go and send someone to protect him!"

Zhong Lihuan asked his personal guards to follow him, and then returned to the camp to answer Xiang Shaoyu's doubts.

"what happened?"

"An urgent report came from the land of Yan. After a fierce battle between the Yan general Zang Tu and the Yan king Han Guang, he killed Han Guang and led his army to surrender to Zhao Shuang. After Zhao Xie heard about it, he almost fainted and hurriedly left Tian Rong's camp and reorganized The soldiers and horses are going back to Zhao."

"What did you say?"

Xiang Shaoyu can understand Zhao Xie's eagerness.

The main force of Zhao's army is now in Xingyang, and after Yan's surrender, the empire's total force north of the river will no longer be a dispensable threat to Zhao.

"But this is too hasty."

After all, Zhao Di still has Chen Yu's 50,000 troops, so there won't be many problems in a short period of time. Even if we want to withdraw, we should not withdraw like this.

But just when Xiang Shaoyu was complaining, the personal guards sent by Zhongli Huang just arrived in a hurry.

"General, Ya's father has fainted."

At this moment, Xiang Shaoyu could no longer calm down and pulled out the Flame God Spear with a look that wanted to kill.

"Didn't I ask you to protect Yafu!"

"We can't blame us for this. King Zhao was about to leave, but Yafu stopped him and said that in the long run, even if he wanted to return to Zhao, he shouldn't be so eager, as Zhao Shuang would see the opportunity to counterattack. But King Zhao didn't listen, and rode on his horse, He pushed Yafu away."

"and after?"

"We ran over in a hurry, but there were too many people at the time. When we found Yafu in the crowd, he had already passed out."

"Okay! Very good!"

Xiang Shaoyu gritted his teeth, anger filling his heart.

"Zhong Lihuan!"

"The general is here!"

"Gather your troops immediately and follow me. I will kill them."

"promise!"

Zhong Lihuan did not hesitate and left to mobilize troops.

…

The Chu army and the Zhao army fought, and the commotion was very loud. But Wei Jun and Qi Jun were nearby, but they had no intention of intervening or persuading peace.

Peng Yue was on the high tower, looking at the chaotic battlefield not far away.

Xiang Shaoyu, holding the Flame God Spear and wearing the Seven Seas Dragon Armor, was like a god of war. He defeated Zhao Jun with only a small number of troops.

While Peng Yue marveled at Xiang Shaoyu's strength, he couldn't be happy in his heart.

Situ Wanli climbed up the tower and came behind Peng Yue.

"Xingyang hasn't been destroyed yet, but they started fighting first."

"What did King Wei say?"

"He didn't say anything but told us to stay out of it."

Peng Yue seemed a little disappointed, but Situ Wanli's words did not stop there.

"The Qi army did not take action either. King Qi seems to be looking forward to this battle to weaken the strength of his biggest opponent."

Qi and Zhao are about the same strength, but because of the disappearance of King Chu, Xiang's voice is rapidly shrinking. As for Wei, his strength is slightly smaller.

"The biggest opponent of King Qi is not King Zhao, but the king you are loyal to in Xingyang City."

Peng Yue revealed Situ Wanli's identity in one fell swoop. The other party was slightly surprised, but quickly regained his composure.

"When did the general know about it?"

"I knew it when you came to Ohnozawa."

"Then why didn't the general say anything?"

"I just want to see what will happen to you?"

"Has the General ever been disappointed?"

"As a gambler, he is indeed qualified."

Situ Wanli smiled softly and was noncommittal about the evaluation of the person in front of him.

"Does the general know what the king said?"

Peng Yue was a little surprised and turned his eyes away from the fierce battlefield for the first time.

"Appreciate further details."

"The king said that most of the princes in Guandong are general, but Xiang Ji, Ying Bu, and Peng Yue should not be underestimated."

After hearing this, Peng Yue seemed to have some understanding.

"The people who are dealing with Xiang Ji are now in the coalition camp. You are here with me now. So who is over there with Yingbu?"

Peng Yue's question made Situ Wanli happy, which meant that the other party did not reject his words.

"This is not something I can know, but the situation now is very clear. Although the coalition forces are large, it is difficult to achieve anything. What does the general think?"

"As a gambler, it is natural to bet when the situation is not reversed. Otherwise, if the situation is determined, you will not win much by betting again."

Situ Wanli lowered his head and bowed his hands.

"That's what the general said!"

…

"Brother Yingbu."

A familiar voice came from outside the tent, and Yingbu was delighted, but then his expression changed.

The moment the Zhu family's figure came from outside and appeared in the tent and was seen by Yingbu, there was no joy in the tent as old friends reunited, but only coldness.

"Brother Zhu, why are you here?"

After all, Yingbu cared about the friendship back then and didn't let anyone in immediately.

But the Zhu family spoke frankly.

“Dragged by others, this is brought to you.”

The Zhu family took out a jade pendant from their sleeves, grabbed the silk thread, and let the jade pendant fall.

Yingbu saw this and couldn't help being furious.

"The king was captured by you?"

"not my business."

Zhu Jia said calmly, and Yingbu calmed down temporarily after many years of friendship.

"Then what's going on with this fast jade pendant?"

"Xia Kui asked me to give this to you."

"Tian Yan?"

It is known to everyone that the farmer's hero voted for Zhao Shuang. Isn't what Tian Yan meant what Zhao Shuang meant?

"What does Zhao Shuang want?"

"He just asked you to consider, should you choose the Xiang family or the Chu country?"

"What's the meaning?"

Zhu Jia shook his head and sighed.

"He wants you to choose between this girl Mi Xin and Xiang Shaoyu."

Yingbu smiled coldly.

"If I choose the king, then it means I have to obey Zhao Shuang!"

"I have experienced a lot in these years. Now, I just want to be free. I don't want to say anything more. Brother Yingbu, you can decide this matter yourself."

After saying that, the Zhu family bowed their hands, kept the jade pendant, and exited the camp.

Yingbu looked at the jade pendant on the table that was close to Mi's heart, and for a moment, he was extremely confused.

…

Qi State.

In the dark room, only one lamp was lit.

Wei Ci was waiting in the house with his sword in hand.

The rain was heavy and the wind was howling.

The lights in the room flickered, but Wei Ci was not in a hurry.

I don't know how long it took, but the door opened and several men in black robes walked in.

"Jixia's dead soldiers are under strict supervision. Why did you find us here?"

There was a bit of uneasiness in his voice, but Wei Ci didn't care.

He stood up and picked up the light.

Under the light of the lamp, his face completely lost the gentleness and elegance of a Confucian scholar in the past, and what was left was a face full of ambition.

"I will bring you a fortune."

"What did you say?"

Wei Ci smiled softly, opened the box on the side, took out some jade bone scrolls, and unfolded them on the table.

"What's this?"

Everyone gathered around and looked at the scroll on the table. But Wei Ci had already explained.

"This is the edict from the king and your title."

"You are actually Zhao Shuang's person!"

For a moment, these men in black robes were frightened and frightened, but they looked at the exquisite scroll on the table, which was a symbol of status and wealth.

Especially the four words "hereditary" seem to have a kind of magic power, making people unable to take their eyes away.

"What do we need to do?"

"The main force of the Qi army is outside, and Jibei's troops are in the hands of a few people at this time. This is a golden opportunity to make achievements."

Wei Ci spoke leisurely, and his words were full of great ambition.
