Jing He was still blaming himself and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, although it is said that we destroyed the enemy's weapons, it is still difficult to achieve the goal. The enemy's strength can be clearly seen this time. They are far stronger than we imagined.
It's amazing. Just in the armory, there are so many types of weapons that the general almost couldn't bear to burn them. Each one of them is a treasure of ingenious craftsmanship."
"Are you serious?" Mu Lianlong obviously didn't want to believe it, because he couldn't believe that his enemy was already so powerful, which would be a disaster for him.
There was no need for Jing He's serious words to deceive him, so he knew that what Jing He said was true. At this time, the suspicion that had already arisen in his mind was confirmed.
Sun Sheng is indeed not a simple guy. He has very strong strength, which is invincible to him. What can he do at this moment? Is it obviously futile to continue to strengthen the city defense.
Suddenly, the soldiers outside hurriedly ran in, knelt on the ground, and reported: "Your Majesty, it's not good. A large number of troops have been spotted in front of us. They seem to be coming in our direction. The flag of Meng is eye-catching."
It is marked with the word 'Sun', and the Emperor will decide."
When he heard that Sun Sheng was coming, Mu Lianlong's mind trembled. He couldn't escape this time. What was supposed to come would still come. What he had to face was the fate that he couldn't live without.
When Jing He heard that Sun Sheng was leading the army this time, he struggled to get up. He couldn't stand firmly and fell to the ground. The people on the side were so shocked that they hurriedly helped him up.
"General, take a rest first. I'm going to see what's going on. Changes will always come. We don't have to be too afraid. This time, let him see how powerful the so-called warriors of the Mu Kingdom are."
He turned around and shouted to his men: "Here comes, let's go, prepare to fight."
After saying that, he led his entourage towards the top of the city wall. He looked at the emperor leaving and sighed sadly. He only blamed himself for failing to live up to his expectations. How could he be so sick at this time that he couldn't even get out of bed? He thought
When he got here, he was angry at himself and struggled to remember. The slaves on the side saw him and hurriedly tried to dissuade him. When he saw the scared eyes of the slaves, he slowly gave up the struggle and lay down on the bed obediently, silently.
He closed his eyes and listened to the sounds in his ears with all his strength, as if trying to catch any sounds about the battlefield.
When Mu Lianlong came to the top of the city wall, he looked down and took a breath of air. A mile below the city wall, there was a sea of people, neatly arranged, standing quietly between heaven and earth, like a sea of people.
A powerful ghost agent may come and take away everyone's lives at any time.
"Your Majesty, look over there." Following the guidance of his entourage, Mu Lianlong saw a flying flag with the gilded character "Sun" embroidered on it. Looking at the formation in front, there were at least ten people in the group.
There are tens of thousands of people, and it looks like there is going to be a bloody battle today.
"Go and order all the artillery and archers to be ready and wait for the order to attack." After Mu Lianlong calmly looked at the scene in front of him, he said calmly, as if he was another person, completely changing the surprised look just now.
He looked like he was abandoning everything, and instantly he was the general who commanded with determination.
"Yes, my subordinates will go and give the orders." The subordinates retreated, Mu Lianlong still stared closely at the large gold-plated characters in front of him, "Sun Sheng, in this battle, we will be divided between the enemy and you. Let's see what we end up doing."
Who is better? After thinking about it, he continued to say to the servant, "Go and invite Concubine Xia here."
When the servant heard this, he hurried to find Xia Ziying. After arriving at Xia Ziying's room, he found that there was no one in the room. Even the quilt was cold. It seemed that he had not been in the room last night. The servant looked
After seeing this scene, he was very anxious and immediately reported it to Mu Lianlong. Mu Lianlong immediately turned to blood-red eyes and angrily scolded the servants, "What are you still doing standing here? Go find them quickly. If you are not alone,
If you can't find them, don't come back again, I will kill you."
He really didn't expect that Concubine Xia would run around in this chaotic time. If she was unfortunately caught, wouldn't it increase her own danger again? When he thought of this, he hit the city wall with one punch.
There was a gap in the city wall bricks under the fists.
Xia Ziying was following Ling'er around in the forest behind. I had heard that there were sour plums here, which could help the body's digestion. Now everyone in the army is in danger. Many people can't digest after eating, and the morale of the army has been unstable.
, it might be useful if everyone eats some sour plums. After asking people about it, they came here and kept picking all the way. They had already picked a basket, and it was about to be full. Suddenly,
Xia Ziying found a trace of black marks on the stone wall in front of her, so she walked over curiously and touched the stone wall. It turned out to be a sticky, black thing. Ling'er saw her touching these strange things.
If there were clean things, he said: "Sister, why are you touching these dark things? Look at how dirty your hands are. Don't touch them. Go wash your hands later!"
Xia Ziying ignored Ling'er's words and just looked at the black marks on the back of the rock wall. She reached out and touched some more, put it in front of her nose and smelled it carefully. Ling'er didn't know what her master was doing.
It looked mysterious, but it was hard to ask, so he stood aside and stared at Xia Ziying.
After smelling it for a while, Xia Ziying suddenly laughed and patted Ling'er on the shoulder, "Ling'er, we found something good this time. This is oil. We made a fortune."
"What good thing? Oil? Make a fortune?" Ling'er's brain was short-circuited for a moment, unable to connect these terms together, and still stared at Xia Ziying curiously.
Xia Ziying suddenly understood. She was so excited just now. When she discovered oil, she forgot that she had traveled to this unknown dynasty. If she were in modern times, she would already be a billionaire. Why do she still do stupid things here?
What an imperial concubine, she is a big entrepreneur, and she gets whatever she wants.
Seeing Ling'er's still confused look, she stopped talking and hurriedly put the basket on her body and said: "Let's go back quickly. Maybe this can help us defeat the Meng Kingdom."
Ling'er felt even more confused when he heard this, but as if his master was not joking in such a hurry, he took the basket with him and left quickly with Xia Ziying, running towards the city.
When I arrived at the city, I saw that everyone in the city was panicking. I grabbed one of them and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
The man only focused on walking and left one sentence, "The enemy is already preparing to attack our city. This time it is coming with great force. I'm afraid it will be very bad!" After that, he left in a hurry. It seemed that he was preparing.
Fleeed for his life.
As soon as Xia Ziying heard this, she immediately dropped the basket in her hand and ran quickly towards the camp. Seeing this, Ling'er was reluctant to throw away the basket in her hand, but she couldn't catch up with Xia Ziying, so she also threw it away.
With the basket in her hand, she chased Xia Ziying desperately.
When they arrived at the camp, the eunuch who was looking for her saw her and immediately rushed towards her, "Concubine Xia, our family has found you. The emperor has been looking for you for a long time. Now he is very angry. Please follow our family."
!”
Xia Ziying did not expect that Mu Lianlong would look for her, so she followed the eunuch to the city wall. When she saw Mu Lianlong looking at the army outside menacingly, she suddenly felt a little guilty. After all, it would be bad to leave at this time.
, Mu Lianlong saw Xia Ziying coming with the eunuch, and before he was ready to reprimand, Xia Ziying had already saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I have found something, which may help defeat Meng's attack."
Before Mu Lianlong could attack, he heard Xia Ziying's affirmation. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "What? Did you find something?"
Xia Ziying stretched out her hand and said, "This is it!"
"This? What is it?" Mu Lianlong asked curiously.
"It's petroleum, a flammable liquid that can produce powerful energy." Xia Ziying replied happily.
"Concubine Xia, we are at war now. I hope you will stop fooling around, okay?" She said with a straight face, a look of complete disbelief.
Seeing that Mu Lianlong didn't believe him, he continued: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can send me a group of soldiers. After an hour, you will definitely let the emperor understand what I said."
Mu Lianlong was dubious, "Now is the time for war. If you ask me to mobilize an army for you, wouldn't it be a big mistake in the world? Stay quietly by my side, your sword has no eyes, so I don't want to hurt you."
"
Seeing that Mu Lianlong still refused to believe her, Xia Ziying begged again, "Please the emperor send me an army, not much, just a hundred people."
"My beloved concubine, what are you going to do?" Mu Lianlong really didn't understand what she was going to do. Now is the time of war and chaos. Wouldn't this be adding to the chaos?
"I said that I will give you an explanation to the emperor, and please trust me this time." Xia Ziying said with an almost pleading tone.
Seeing her persistence, Mu Lianlong couldn't continue to refuse, so he nodded helplessly, "Okay, I believe you for now, but you have to promise not to cause me any trouble. The current situation is very serious.
There is only the slightest chance of making a mistake.”
Seeing that Mu Lianlong relented, Xia Ziying nodded and continued: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if you are still worried, I am willing to issue a military order to prove my determination."
