Chapter 329 Jagged Heart

When the eastern glow dyed half of the sky red, the eyes of the Southern Han King Lu Qi were also filled with blood. In just one night, the huge change that happened was simply unbelievable. Since he heard the news from the Luo River Ferry, half an hour has passed until now, but he still has difficulty digesting the bad news of the defeat.

Of course, it was not only him who felt unacceptable. Everyone in Luocheng who participated in this plan almost stood a stunned attitude and heard what a few of the defeated soldiers who fled back in a hurry from outside the city said. Even a scheming guy like Chunyu Xian was so shocked that he threw the wine cup in his hand to the ground, and his arms trembled.

This time, he and these royal nobles chose Lu Qi as their partner because of the good relationship that both sides have maintained, and on the other hand, of course, they mainly wanted to rely on the military strength of the Southern Han army. The combat effectiveness of the Southern Han navy is beyond doubt. With the power of the rivers, they have hundreds of warships, traveling and going, and are extremely fierce. If Lu Qi can be used as foreign aid, it will of course be a good thing that both sides can get huge benefits.

The Southern Han Navy blocked the Luo River with more than 20,000 Southern Han Navy and blocked the traffic between the north and the south. Even if the people of Zhao learned about the incident in Luocheng, they could not get there for a while. If the Zhao army refused to surrender, even if they went south at the fastest speed, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties and pay a huge price to cross the Luo River under such circumstances. What's more, in the expectations of these people, as long as they hold King Zhao Chu Jiangmian in their hands, the people of Zhao would not dare to act rashly. Under the huge threat, tigers would become tamed cats and obediently obey the call.

However, whether it was the King of Southern Han Lu Qi or Chunyu Xian, they never expected that the attack had just occurred in Luocheng, and the general trend was about to come. In a short while, a large army suddenly arrived and broke through the defense line of the Luo River in one fell swoop. Even the more than 20,000 elite troops were almost wiped out! So how can we not be shocked?

"Which army is that? How could it come so quickly... But it just took a day and a night!"

Chunyu Xian, who first reacted, jumped over and grabbed the neck of the informant, and asked with a gloomy face. The King of Southern Han Lu Qi looked pale, and suddenly seemed to have grown up for decades. The naval corps, who escaped by luck, led dozens of remaining soldiers to pounce on the steps. The blood and smoke were smoky, and they were all covered in dust and extremely embarrassed. However, at this time, they didn't care about anything else. They cried and told each other about what happened last night. Even though they were far away from the Luo River and escaped from danger, they were still scared, as if the fire was behind them.

"King! Chunyu Gong... Those are from Qi! They came from Zhongshan City not far away, and took advantage of the darkness of the night and raided the Luo River Ferry... They didn't know what fire-driven objects they used, but when the fire broke out, they could not extinguish them at all. Moreover, a strong wind suddenly blew on the Luo River tonight, and most of the warships ignited a fire in a very short time. The army was in chaos without fighting... General Hu went ashore to find the enemy to fight, but unfortunately died in the chaos. Then the army was defeated and out of control... King! We escaped and rushed back to report the news, hoping to tell the king that it was not too late. Please leave Luo City quickly and let us go back to Guangling City!"

The only living commander of the army was also covered in wounds. He leaned on a broken knife and burst into tears, which was very miserable. And the other generals and schools were dead! They either died in the fire on the bow of the ship or under the sword of the Qi people. I remembered that they were still celebrating victory last night, but they did not expect that they would end up being wiped out in a blink of an eye. So far, he has not figured out why things were so bad?!

However, in the face of such a serious fact, it was no longer important whether he, a small captain, understood it or not. After hearing about the incident, everyone present looked at each other with an extremely ugly expression, and the same thought came to his mind almost at the same time.

"The army of Nanhan is over! If Luocheng cannot be defended, then everyone will probably die without a burial place!"

After hearing the bad news, Lu Qi, who seemed to be in a state of stagnation, looked down at the remaining soldiers crying and bowing to his feet, and said to himself with his lips twitching.

"Let's go? Why do we have to leave? From Guangling City to Zhongzhou, do you know how much hard work I have put in and how many years I have been waiting for? If I am destined to die this time, I will die in this Zichen Palace, and I will never leave a step!"

The prince was also a ruthless character. He stared at his blood-red eyes and pulled out the sword brought by the guards beside him. His beard and white hair could still be fought! The culprit of all this was in this palace. Even if thousands of troops came, he would have to kill the young man first!

"King! The army of Qi has crossed the river, and they will come soon... Stay with the green mountains here, don't be afraid of no firewood! King! Let's go first."

The defeated soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty knelt down and persuaded them together. However, Lu Qi has always been a stubborn person. What he knew was difficult to change. What's more, he had decided that if he didn't kill Chu Jiangmian, even if he escaped and returned to his country, he would be restless from now on!

"King, since your subordinates are so loyal... what do you mean?"

A low question came from his ear. Lu Qi stabbed it on the ground and turned his head without hesitation to look at Chunyu Xian, who was looking at him with doubts on his face. He gritted his teeth and replied.

"Mr. Chunyu, don't have to doubt it! I will advance and retreat with you... I will not be avenge this revenge, and I will not be a human being!"

"Okay! Very good! We have been with you for many years, and we did not read you wrong... Hahaha! Let's relax. Luocheng is a famous city in the world, not comparable to other places. What is the army of Qi? Even if they attacked the water army at the Luo River Ferry by luck, it was simply a dream to attack Luocheng! There are still thousands of dead soldiers in our hands, enough to defend this strong city. Now the eyes of the world are all focusing on Zhongzhou. If you don't have to hold on for too long, there will naturally be a tiger and wolf army coming to rescue. Humph! At that time, no one of these Qi people who are overestimating their abilities will escape again!"

When Lu Qi heard Chunyu Xian's confident words, he was regained his spirit and seemed to understand something. The cunning old fox on the other side did not put all the bets on him. It seemed that he had a lot of secret collusion with other princes! If he had guessed that he was right, the tiger and wolf army he mentioned must be undoubtedly the Qin people.

Chunyu Xian's mouth flashed with a faint sneer, and he deliberately turned a blind eye to Lu Qi's inquiry. The so-called cunning rabbit's three holes. He wanted to achieve great things, so he arranged more than one way out. Now that Lu Qi's power is not expected, the Qin people should come on stage. He believed very much that the King of Qin, who has been staring at the movements in Zhongzhou, would never miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! So, let them kill each other outside of Luocheng. And there are more important things to do now!

"So, since the king is willing to stay, let's help you fulfill your wish. Zhao Guo Shuzi Chu Jiangmian is in the sovereign altar behind Zichen Palace. Now let's take him to the point of killing him... If you want to kill him, you can deal with it!"

Hearing Chunyu Xian's personal promise, Lu Qi was so excited that he drew out his long sword and said viciously.

"Of course I want to kill him with my own hands! Humph! The lives of nearly 40,000 soldiers in the South Han Dynasty are inseparable from this person... No one can stop me this time!"

"Everything is the will of the Lord, just like the king's wish!"

Without further ado, they did it as soon as possible. The royal nobles who were aroused by the sudden change also responded together. With their respective followers, led by Lu Qi and Chunyu Xian, hundreds of people walked through the halls in a fierce manner and came straight to the Altar of the Back Hall.

The rays of the east dyed the roofs of the palace red, adding a lot of glory to the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The red sun finally jumped out of the horizon and a new day began in the world. However, many people's lives have been left last night, with no distinction between high and low. They can no longer see the sun on this day.

The atmosphere in the Altar of Sheji was a little abnormal. More than a dozen blood-shadowed dead men blocked their way silently. They looked at the surging armored sword-holders, their faces were dull and no one said anything. They just pulled out the swords in their hands, with a dazzling edge and no one could give in.

"Everyone goes away! We are going to see the emperor and ask him to issue another decree, Zhu kills the traitor!"

Chunyu Xian shouted angrily with a majestic expression. What he received was still silence. The blood-shadowed dead soldiers seemed to be dead, and no one gave way at the palace gate.

"Was it me to kill any thief?"

Someone responded faintly. A figure sitting cross-legged to the left of the railing of the hall was unknown how long it had been waiting here. Everyone's eyes followed the sound, and then they found that two young people were sitting and standing on the terrace over there, and their clothes were wet with the morning dew.

"Chu Jiangmian! Humph... You know yourself! Young Master Jiu, you are not here yet, don't protect him stubbornly."

Chunyu Xian glared at Chu Jiangmian. Then he pointed at Gongzi Jiu who was standing aside and signaled him to come over quickly so as not to be injured by accident. However, Gongzi Jiu, who was full of sadness, looked no one. He just lowered his head and seemed to say something to Chu Jiangmian softly. But the other party shook his head. The next moment, Chu Jiangmian, who seemed to be burning in his heart, stood up, and the sword in his hand was like a long rainbow that penetrated the sun, and jumped off the terrace in his face reflected thousands of rays of light.
