Since he ate a little food in the morning, King Donghai hasn't eaten anymore. It's not that he didn't want to, but no one gave it. The whole day has passed, and the tent is frozen as iron. lost interest.
"I must have forgotten me." Donghai Wang murmured, tightening the blanket on his body, missing the life in the palace.
The sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside, and Donghai Wang Yixi was overjoyed, thinking that someone finally thought of bringing him food.
The curtain was opened, and a man came in, holding a candle, but the other hand was empty and there was no food.
Donghai Wang immediately put aside the blanket, stood up, looked at the person who came, and refused to make any moves of surrender.
Qiu Hong was also expressionless, glanced slowly, and his eyes finally landed on the pile of blankets.
"Didn't you win?" Donghai King wanted to sneer, but the muscles on his face didn't obey him. "You didn't show off, I guessed the result."
Qiu Hong snorted and stepped aside. Two more soldiers came in outside the tent, armed with long spears.
The King of the East Sea was startled, but it wasn't him that the two pointed their guns at, but the blanket on the bed.
Qiu Hong was also leaving, and the King of the East Sea shouted, "Wait a minute, what are you looking for?"
Qiu Hong did not answer, did not stop, and went straight away.
"They must have lost this battle badly. I'm really wondering, where did Your Majesty find another army?" King Donghai felt a little warmer in his heart, and simply practiced boxing on the ground. The space was small and there were no lights. I didn't dare to flex my fists, I just stretched my arms and legs, which made my stomach more hungry, but not so cold.
Pfft, Donghai King's punch hit something, and what made his hair stand on end was that his fist was bitten!
The alien army camp, the freezing night, the five fingers can't be seen... The hand that was stretched out at will was bitten by one bite, the East Sea King's soul flew away, and he could not help screaming when he opened his mouth.
The arm was bent, the biter approached, and something blocked his mouth, followed by a low voice: "Don't bark."
It turned out that it was not the bloody mouth that "bited" the fist, but the other hand.
The East Sea King was still terrified, but since the other party was a human and could speak Chu language, he was relieved and nodded.
"I'm from Chu."
The East Sea King nodded again.
"It's to assassinate the enemy chief."
The King of the East Sea finally calmed down, nodded vigorously, and the man let go.
"The gods and ghosts are not here." Donghai Wang said in a very low voice, "He is very careful. Except for a very few people, no one knows which tent he lives in."
"I'm one of those very few people," said the opposite.
"It turns out that the person Qiu Hong was looking for was you."
"Well, I deliberately made them aware of it, so as to expose the location of the enemy chief."
"Smart." Donghai King suddenly had a new hope in his heart, "Can you save me?"
"No." The opposite answer was neat and tidy.
Donghai King was disappointed, "Why are you looking for me? If you kill me, I can't help you."
"You will have the opportunity to return to the Chu army in the future."
"What do you know? Being killed is my best result. What's even worse is being taken to the extreme west by the enemy. I... alas." The other party couldn't save him from the sea of misery, and the King of the East Sea was not so polite in his words.
The person opposite did not listen to his complaints and continued: "Tell the emperor that the book is still there."
"What book?" The King of the East Sea was puzzled.
"Remember this sentence, it is very important to the emperor."
"Who are you?"
The hand that held the fist loosened, the East Sea King took a step back and raised his voice slightly, "If you don't identify yourself, I won't speak for you."
No one answered, Donghai Wang slowly stretched out his arms and groped around. There was no one else in the tent except him. Donghai Wang was flustered and rubbed his eyes hard, wondering if he had a dream.
The body was still so cold, and the stomach was still so hungry, Donghai King wrapped the blanket again, without any sleepiness.
There was a sudden noise outside, and many people were shouting, as if giving orders.
The King of the East Sea was invigorated. If that person could really assassinate the god and ghost Da Chanyu, the enemy army would be defeated, and the Chu army would win. As for the Chu envoy... he dared not think about it.
The shouting continued for a long time, and there was a faint sound of weapons colliding. The King of the East Sea went to the tent and listened, worrying about gains and losses.
Qiu Hong came in again, holding a candle in one hand and a machete in the other, looking at the King of the East Sea, "What are you doing?"
The East Sea King straightened up, "Listen to what you are doing, the Chu army has attacked?"
"Hey, it's just a few daring assassins. The Chu army is incompetent and knows that he will lose. Even this kind of trick is used."
Donghai King's heart trembled, but a smile could be squeezed out on his face, "You don't look sad enough, presumably the ghost is still alive."
"Little assassins, they couldn't even touch the emperor's side, they were all killed."
Donghai Wang shook his head, "No, you don't look proud enough, so the assassin ran away, and you didn't catch it. Be careful, the assassin might come back."
Qiu Hong took two steps forward and raised his sword to face the King of the East Sea, "Be careful when you speak, we can choose anyone to be the emperor of the surrendered army, and it doesn't have to be you."
"Looking at the current trend, you are the ones who surrendered, right? I can speak for you. The Emperor of Chu has always been generous and might spare you."
The knife in Qiu Hong's hand was resting on Donghai King's neck, and the blade was cold. Donghai King shuddered, but did not evade. Instead, he showed more smiles, but he did not dare to make more provocations.
Qiu Hong stared at the King of the East Sea, but in the end he didn't do anything, "The emperor of Chu is shameless, and he actually recruited the army of servants under the emperor's command to fight with us, but this move is doomed..."
The King of the East Sea laughed and laughed loudly. He didn't even care about the knife on his neck. Instead, Qiu Hong moved the knife away slightly, with a confused expression on his face.
"His Majesty is really good at making strange moves, and he was unprepared to attack the enemy with the enemy's soldiers, haha. If you failed to win today, it means that the army is very hard to surrender." King Donghai understood many things at once, and laughed a few times, his body Feeling warm from the inside to the outside, "The Emperor of Chu has this ability. The gods and ghosts are great for the soldiers who have been thrown away, but the Emperor of Chu can use them for his own use, and he is very handy, haha."
Qiu Hong's face was ugly, "Don't be happy, tomorrow is the emperor's order..."
"I gave an order? Qiu Hong, don't you believe it in your heart? At this stage, your odds of winning are getting smaller and smaller. The soldiers of the servant country sacrificed their lives for the gods and ghosts because of their fear. In today's battle, they found you It's not that powerful, and will they listen to the 'single order' of the god and ghost Da Chanyu again? When the next battle, their morale will definitely be boosted."
Qiu Hong was furious, "Do you think it was the first time that Emperor Zhengtian encountered a rebel? The rebel army will definitely be defeated, and the Chu army will definitely be defeated."
"It's different, which rebel army competed head-to-head with the powerful army? Probably not, Qiu Hong, what happened to make your soldiers not as good as before? Oh, the opponents are different, you guys The current opponent is the Emperor Dachu, you thought he would retreat, but he fought, you thought he would be frightened, but he was fearless, you thought he had no soldiers, but he sent a large army, you thought…”
Qiu Hong's hands were so hard that the blade pierced his skin. The King of the East Sea didn't dare to say any more, but his mood was getting better and better.
"The assassin pretended to assassinate, but actually came to save you?" Qiu Hong asked.
The King of Donghai then understood why Qiu Hong came to him in the middle of the night. He wanted to deny it, but he changed his mind, "Perhaps, with the current situation, there is no need for the Chu army to send assassins, it can be done on the battlefield. I will defeat you, but the emperor of Chu cares very much about my younger brother..."
Qiu Hong raised his machete, "Then we will use your head to demonstrate against the Chu army."
"Okay, in this way, the emperor of Great Chu doesn't have to be tolerant towards you any more." The King of the East Sea was worried, but raised his neck, showing a fearless expression.
Qiu Hong didn't do anything, paused for a moment, put away the machete, "If the assassin dares to come, let him die without a place to be buried."
The King of the East Sea curled his lips in disdain, but was a little disappointed in his heart. The assassin was haunted, but he still failed to kill the ghost, Da Chanyu.
Qiu Hong was about to leave, but turned around again, put away the machete, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and asked, "What is this?"
The King of the East Sea came closer and glanced at it by candlelight, "Chunyu Zi said: The strong become weak because of the strength, and the weak become strong because of the weak. The emperor is the strongest, but when a dynasty falls, the family and the country cannot continue, and the emperor is the weakest. Death, and the country will be harmless... 'This is a page in the book, Chunyuzi, Chunyu Xiao, how can you have this?"
"What book is this?"
"It's... a book of fortune-telling." Donghai Wang said, knowing in his heart that it was left by the assassin, but he didn't understand the purpose of it.
Qiu Hong looked confused, didn't believe it, but didn't ask any more questions, turned and walked out.
"Where did you find it? It must be the bedside of the god and ghost. The assassin used this method to tell you that he can kill the god and ghost, but Da Chu doesn't need it..."
"It's on the head of my bed." Qiu Hong strode away, and the tent was dark again.
The King of the East Sea was happy in his heart. It seemed that the Chu army still had a chance of winning, and it was a great chance. As for that page, it was left by the assassin, but what did he want to express? Qiu Hong was puzzled, and the King of the East Sea was equally puzzled.
"The book is still there." The King of the East Sea whispered the assassin's words. He didn't take it seriously at first, but now he has decided that if there is a chance, he must convey it to the emperor. Only the emperor can understand the exact meaning.
This night, the East Sea King slept and woke up for a while. The next day was not yet bright. Finally, a soldier brought a plate of cold meat and a pot of cold milk. , I heard the gongs and trumpets outside, and knew that there was going to be another war.
Qiu Hong came again, without the slightest doubt on his face, he regained his former smugness, "Are you full? Would you like to watch the battle with me?"
The King of the East Sea is of course willing, it is better than knowing nothing in the tent, "I really don't know how you are used to eating this kind of food."
"That's because you don't understand delicious food."
"You are so happy because the god and ghost Danyu didn't cut off your head in a fit of anger."
"Don't use my words, King of the East Sea, today you will see what is 'defection', and see who is the real master of the servant army."
The King of the East Sea didn't like Qiu Hong's smugness.
