Chapter 355 Little Spirit King
Chapter 355 Little Spirit King
Qin State.
The sky is overcast, Lingwang Palace.
The courtyard was quiet, with only the occasional chirping of caged birds.
The little King Ling leaned on the soft couch, twisting a golden millet on the fingertips of his left hand, and nonchalantly teasing the jade-clawed Saker Falcon in the birdcage.
The Saker Falcon is arrogant and ignores the food right in front of it.
"Tsk, you have a pretty fierce temper."
The Little Spiritual King chuckled, but there was no warmth in his eyes, instead a hint of gloom flashed across them.
This day.
It's getting more and more boring.
The young eunuch standing by held his breath and didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing his master with a perverse temper.
Perhaps because he had been standing for too long and his legs and feet were numb, he moved slightly.
呲......
The Saker Falcon was suddenly frightened and flapped its wings suddenly, rushing around in the cage frantically and making terrified screams.
The laziness on King Xiao Ling's face froze instantly.
"Dog, slave, talent!"
The young eunuch was so frightened that his soul was about to fly out of his body. He fell to his knees with a plop: "Your Highness, please spare me! Your Highness, please spare me! I didn't mean it! I..."
Before he could finish his words, the Little Spiritual King waved his hand impatiently, as if brushing away dust.
The guard immediately stepped forward and grabbed the eunuch's arm with an expressionless face.
"Please spare my life, my lord!"
"Rare..."
The cries for mercy faded away quickly.
The Little Spirit King turned his gaze back to the birdcage, his eyes dim and unclear.
at this time.
From outside the courtyard came the sound of hurried horse hooves and the friction of armor.
A messenger, led by the guards, quickly came to the courtyard, knelt on one knee, and held up a sealed silk book in both hands.
"Report!"
"Your Highness, an urgent message from He Yajun from the border!"
The little Ling King raised his eyebrows slightly, finally there was something to pass the time.
He signaled his attendant to bring the letter.
The silk book unfolded, revealing He Yajun's slightly reserved handwriting.
The letter first reported the military situation on the front line as usual, and then changed the subject and mentioned a person in considerable length.
"Oh?"
"His words and actions are eccentric, seemingly foolish but actually intelligent. The food he prepares is incredibly unique and has never been seen before."
"Lu Yuguan..."
The Little Spirit King murmured the name, tapping his fingertips lightly.
It can satisfy the general's appetite and make that arrogant old man write a letter to mention it?
interesting.
Just as he was about to give the order, he heard the eunuch's dying cry outside the palace gate:
"Xuanshan Qi's bastard!"
"Murderous and violent!"
"Not worthy of being king!"
"You will die a miserable death!"
The shouting stopped abruptly.
The air in the courtyard suddenly became stagnant.
All the servants turned pale and lowered their heads deeply, wishing they could bury themselves in the ground.
The little Ling Wang's expression did not change at all, but the warmth in his eyes completely disappeared, as if they were two bottomless cold pools.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled.
"Someone is coming."
A dark shadow appeared in the yard like a ghost, bowing and waiting for orders.
King Xiao Ling ordered, "Go to the border and find a man named Lu Yuguan. Once you find him, please return to the palace."
"Try to...stay alive."
"Yes."
The shadow responded.
Without saying a single word, he disappeared from the spot in a flash.
Little King Ling walked to the birdcage, looked at the still-calling Saker Falcon, and reached out to open the cage door.
“Gah!——”
The fingers slowly tightened.
The saker falcon's scream turned into a slight sound of bones breaking.
Unruly creatures.
After a while, it collapsed.
King Xiao Ling threw the corpse to the guards as if he were throwing away a useless toy.
"Clean it up."
After giving the instructions, he took out a silk handkerchief and wiped his fingers slowly and methodically.
-
Under the city of Han.
The dark and dense Qin army formation was like a mountain, and the murderous atmosphere stagnated the air.
The battle flags fluttered and the swords and guns flashed coldly.
Wang Jian sat upright on his warhorse, looking at the dead silent Hancheng in front of him with a frown.
"What's wrong, General Wang?"
He Yajun smiled and said, "Hancheng is right before our eyes, why are you stopping here?"
Wang Jian said calmly, "Don't worry. The Qin army has waited for three months. A little while longer won't hurt."
"Oh?"
He Yajun stroked his beard and said, "General Wang is really patient."
Wang Jian snorted coldly and went straight to the foot of the city.
"Li Mou!"
His voice was like a bell, piercing the silence and echoing among the city walls.
"Being trapped in an isolated city will only increase casualties. Open the city and surrender immediately. I will spare the lives of your soldiers out of consideration for your integrity!"
There was no one on the city wall.
Only a few tattered Zhao flags fluttered weakly in the wind.
No one answered, only the howling of the wind.
He Yajun stroked his long beard gently, a mysterious smile on his lips as he said slowly, "General, it seems that Li Mou has made up his mind to be a coward."
Wang Jian snorted coldly, "It's just bluffing. Hancheng is out of ammunition and food. Now it's just a fight of trapped beasts."
Although he said so, the presence of Tsuruga-kun had already plucked the suspicious string in his heart.
crunch...
Just now.
The gate of Hancheng actually opened on its own!
Not only Wang Jian, but all the Qin soldiers were stunned and stared at this incredible scene with wide eyes.
"All troops on alert!——"
Wang Jian shouted loudly.
However, the city gates were wide open, but no Zhao army came out.
There were only a few old soldiers in coarse clothes, holding brooms, slowly sweeping the ground.
"What the hell is Li Mou doing?!" The deputy general was shocked and confused.
There was a commotion among the Qin army.
The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what the Zhao army was up to.
Wang Jian's face was gloomy.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Li Mou's military tactics were cunning. Could there really be an ambush?
He subconsciously glanced at He Yajun, only to see that the latter was still smiling without saying a word, but there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.
This expression made Wang Jian even more suspicious.
Can be followed immediately.
An even more jaw-dropping scene appeared——
Lu Yuguan appeared on the top of the city wall!
"Is it that kid!?" Wang Jian's eyes narrowed.
He Yajun's pupils suddenly constricted, but returned to normal after a moment. He smiled and said, "General Wang, it seems that this time, you have been tricked by the Zhao army..."
Wang Jian ignored him and stared at Lu Yuguan on the top of the city wall.
"Hey, General Wang!——"
Lu Yuguan cleared his throat and waved to Wang Jian, "It's been a while since we last met. I miss you so much!"
He was wearing a Zhao army uniform, which, though ill-fitting, gave off a somewhat unruly aura.
Wang Jian frowned.
This kid.
He is indeed a spy from the Zhao army!
The deputy general beside him bowed and said, "General, this guy is extremely arrogant. Please give the order and let the soldiers capture him alive!"
Wang Jian pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "No hurry. I want to see what he's up to."
While talking.
Two attendants stood on Lu Yuguan's left and right.
One burns incense and the other strokes a fan.
Lu Yuguan sat down on the drum stool, took out a carrot-shaped object from his pocket, and coughed twice.
"Hey?"
"Hello... can you hear me?"
"Hello, friends of the Qin army!"
Wang Jian: “???”
Tsuruya-kun: “???”
All Qin troops: "???"
Zhao Zimo stood behind him and sighed, unable to bear to watch.
Not to mention where he got this clever thing from.
That's it.
Even the King of Qin would be confused if he came alone!
