"Does even God want to kill me?" Xiong Qi looked at those five big characters, as if his energy and energy had been sucked out of his body, he fell off the boat and fell into the river in despair.
However, even the cold river water could not wake up Xiong Qi, allowing him to be submerged by the river water and sinking into the mud at the bottom of the river.
In the process of sinking, Xiong Qi reviewed his life. He was a hostage to the Qin State very early in Xianyang. At that time, the Chu clan was strong and he was also the Changping Lord respected by thousands of people.
After that, he passed through King An Guo, King Zhuang Xiang, and Ying Zheng. He always held a high position in the Qin State. After eradicating Lao Poison and Lu Buwei dismissed the prime minister, he became the prime minister of the Qin State.
It’s just that he didn’t know when he started to miss his homeland, the Chu country and the land of Chu, which actually didn’t welcome him at all. Then because of a posthumous edict, he gave up his position as one person under Qin and above ten thousand people, and resolutely
He resolutely returned to Chu and Shouchun.
"Do I really want to save Chu State?"
"Or is it that what I really want is the throne that is beneath one person and above ten thousand people?"
Xiong Qi also forgot what his original intention was when he returned to Chu State in the first place.
If he had not returned to Chu State, then he would have been the Lord of Changping, one person inferior to ten thousand people, and the Prime Minister of Qin State.
"Do you regret it?" Xiong Qi asked himself again and again. If he could do it all over again, would he choose to return to Chu State?
A long branch stretches out from the water. As long as you hold it, you can live.
Xiong Qi looked at the long root that appeared in front of him and wanted to reach out to hold it, but in the end he took it back instead of holding the living long root.
"I have Chang Gao to save him, but where can the huge Chu State find such a Chang Gao?"
"If I die like this, I won't have to face the thousands of people of Chu State again!"
"If you don't die like this, you don't have to worry about those complicated things anymore!"
"Not as good as..."
In the end, Xiong Qi no longer had the strength to reach out and hold Chang Gao, and sank into the mud at the bottom of the water. The hair crown that bound his long hair was washed away by the river water, and his long hair covered his face, leaving the world no longer
Can't see his appearance clearly.
On the boat, the boatman also took off his disguise, revealing his original handsome appearance. Who else could he be if he wasn't Jin Yao?
Meng Tian and the Fire Cavalry on the river bank also quickly ended the battle. Except for the family guards who could resist a little, the other pampered nobles had no intention of resisting. When Meng Tian and the Fire Cavalry arrived, they tied their hands and waited.
was captured.
The boat docked and Jin Yao also jumped on the shore.
The fire cavalry didn't know Jin Yao, but they knew that he was the one who took Xiong Qi away, so when they saw that the other party came back alone, they all surrounded him.
"Master, where is King Xiong Qi of Chu?" the fire cavalry asked angrily.
"Don't be presumptuous!" Meng Tian hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, leaving the fire cavalrymen stunned for a long time.
"Meng Tian pays homage to Lord Long!" Meng Tian hurriedly saluted with his sword in hand after scolding the soldiers.
"Dragon Lord?" The fire cavalry soldiers were all stunned.
If Wu'an Lord Li Mu is the most respected general among all soldiers, then Long Lord is their belief.
Because this is a young man who has given up on being pampered, truly joined the military, and made a fortune from scratch, he is worthy of their trust and admiration.
"I pay my respects to Lord Long!" The soldiers of the Fire Cavalry also followed Meng Tian in saluting, but their hearts were beating.
Especially the Fire Cavalry soldiers who had just scolded them did not even dare to raise their heads.
"I actually scolded Mr. Long!"
Jin Yao smiled slightly, not paying attention to the previous commotion, but looked at Meng Tian, turned around and pointed at the Sang River, "Xiong Qi has already thrown himself into the Sang River."
"Ah?" Meng Tian also didn't expect Jin Yao to watch Xiong Qi commit suicide.
He designed Xiong Qi to commit suicide, but when Jin Yao picked up Xiong Qi, he thought Jin Yao would take Xiong Qi back to Xianyang, but he did not expect that he would watch Xiong Qi commit suicide.
"Everyone has the right to choose life and death. I gave him a chance to live, but he gave up on his own!" Jin Yao sighed and shook his head.
At his level of cultivation, he could actually see clearly what was going on under the water. He stretched out his long pole to give Xiong Qi a choice, but Xiong Qi gave up the chance of life and chose death.
Therefore, Jin Yao respects his choice.
Perhaps death may be the best choice for Xiong Qi.
Meng Tian did not ask any more questions. Since Long Jun had confirmed that Xiong Qishen was dead, it meant that he was really dead and there was no need to ask any more questions.
"What's the situation like now?" Jin Yao continued to ask.
"Most of the Chu army has been wiped out. Only Xiang Yan and the remaining troops are left to fight in the trapped beasts. The dust has probably settled now!" Meng Tian thought for a while and said.
Before they came out, the Chinese army had already determined the plan to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Chu army. Now that the sun is rising, if nothing goes wrong, the Chu army should be completely wiped out.
Jin Yao nodded. Against an extremely improved general like Li Mu, Xiang Yan had no chance of winning, let alone a situation where there were more people and fewer people.
"Well done!" Jin Yao patted Meng Tian on the shoulder and pointed to the word ant beside the river embankment.
He thought that Meng Tian was only good at conquests with large armies and might not be as good at controlling people's hearts, but he didn't expect that Meng Tian was also capable of scheming.
Without these five words, Xiong Qi's mentality would not have collapsed, let alone give up the chance of survival.
These five words were the straw that broke the camel's back.
…
On the frontal battlefield, the Qin army had the opportunity to surround and annihilate the last elite of the Chu army without any effort.
As the last elite of the Chu State and the strongest Royal Guards of the Chu State, they met the Wuling Iron Cavalry in the wild, known as the number one in field battles. After just a charge, the Imperial Guards were completely defeated.
"The day has finally arrived!"
In the Chu army commander's tent, the guards wanted to pull Xiang Yan away, but they failed.
In the big tent, Xiang Yan listened to the shouts of killing and the neighing of war horses coming from outside the tent. She knew that they were completely defeated without leaving the tent.
"It's my fault. If I hadn't underestimated the strength of the Dragon Guard, hadn't thought about training troops, and just went all out to capture Dragon City, there wouldn't have been so many troubles!"
"One wrong move and the whole game is lost!"
"This defeat is not the fault of war, but my fault, the sinner of Chu State!"
Xiang Yan took out the long sword from his waist, and the sword light reflected his old face. After carefully wiping it back and forth with a cloth, it suddenly slashed towards his neck.
For a moment, blood flowed down the long sword, and the tall figure fell directly to the ground.
The guards had already had a premonition, but when they saw Xiang Yan committing suicide, they couldn't help crying.
At the same time, the vanguard cavalry also rushed into the commander's tent, but seeing such a scene, they didn't know what to do for a while.
"Put down your weapons and those who surrender will not be killed!"
Finally, the Wuling Cavalry came to their senses and directly ordered people to guard the tent to avoid being trampled by the rebel army.
