My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 242 Da Qin must have the King of Chu who belongs to Da Qin!
Zhaocen Mansion.

King Han of Chu came directly to Zhaocen's mansion after leaving the city wall.

While at the city wall, Zhaocen was able to leave with an excuse.

But at home, where can Zhaocen go?

He could only sit opposite Chu King Han in the main hall, listening to Chu King Han's sincere persuasion: "I know how many difficulties every clan has..."

"boom!"

A loud noise interrupted King Chu Han's words.

Just like a teacher faced with the bell ringing, King Chu Han had to stop temporarily, and then continued: "However, [-] Qin troops are hoarding outside now, and we have [-] troops defending the city..."

"boom!!"

There was another roar, and King Chu endured the anxiety in his heart and waited for a few breaths before speaking again: "Even if the Qin army cannot be completely wiped out in this battle, Shouchun City will be as stable as Mount Tai!"

"If the Zhao family is still unwilling to send private soldiers to join the war, I don't blame the Zhao family."

"But Zhaozuo Yin is willing to let the Jing family take all the credit for this battle?"

The roar sounded again, but King Chu Han lost his anxiety.

What he wanted to say has been said, and what awaits next is Zhaocen's decision.

However, to the disappointment of King Chu Han, Zhaocen handed over his offer apologetically: "Your Majesty, I, the Zhao family, have never chosen not to recruit private soldiers because of profit."

"The Zhao family is really unable to recruit more private soldiers, so I can only watch Shouchun City being surrounded and can do nothing."

"As long as the Zhao family has a little bit of strength, they will definitely do their best for my great Chu!"

King Chu Han's eyes were gloomy: "Zhao Zuoyin, are you really unwilling to help me?"

Zhaocen handed over his hand again: "I am incompetent!"

King Chu Han wanted to persuade him again, but a eunuch quickly ran to Chu King Han and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, there are cracks in the east city wall."

Chu Wanghan's pupils shrank suddenly: "Really?!"

How long has it been since the war started?

It's less than a day away!

As a result, the east city wall cracked?
If this is true, then not only the east city wall will be cracked, but also Chu King Han!
The eunuch immediately said: "How dare you deceive the king!"

Having never seen it with his own eyes, King Chu Han didn't believe it at all.

Not in the mood to persuade Zhao Cen anymore, King Chu stood up and said, "Zhao Zuo Yin can think more."

"I am waiting for you, my beloved!"

Zhaocen immediately handed over his hand and said: "My lord, thank you for your favor!"

After seeing King Han of Chu leave the mansion, Zhaocen immediately ordered: "Go to the city wall quickly to inquire about the battle situation!"

After the soldiers left, Zhaocen strode back to the main hall and saw two figures walking into the main hall from the side hall.

Zhaocen hurriedly raised his hands and greeted with a smile: "Young Master Fuchu, Master Qi, please wait for a long time!"

"I hope you two gentlemen will forgive me!"

Xiong Fuchu smiled warmly: "What crime did Zhao Zuoyin commit?"

"It's just an evil guest who came to disturb our elegance."

Xiong Fuchu compared the King of Chu to an evil guest, but Zhaocen did not dare to agree.

After smiling, Zhaocen changed the subject: "The king came up to look for my Zhao family to increase his troops, but he suddenly left just now."

"It seems that the situation in this battle is not going well."

Xiong Qi nodded: "As far as I know, Lord Chang'an has come up with many new siege equipment."

"Shouchun City's defense alone will hardly be able to withstand it for too long."

Zhaocen looked surprised: "Although Shouchun City is not a majestic city, it can also be called a strong city."

"This city can't stop Lord Chang'an's siege equipment for too long?"

Xiong Qi said with enthusiasm: "Let's talk about Chang'an Jun's newly built catapult."

"I haven't seen his true appearance yet, but from watching the military report, we can tell that even if he is as powerful as Daliang City, he is as afraid of a catapult as a tiger."

"If Daliang City is like this, let alone our Shouchun City?"

"The roar now should be caused by the catapult throwing flying stones and hitting the city wall."

Xiong Fuchu immediately asked: "Do you know how to build that catapult?"

Xiong Qi shook his head: "I don't know why, your Majesty and Lord Chang'an guard your younger brother like a wolf."

"This is the true goal of Da Qin's expedition. I only found out about it after General Wang Jian entered the territory of Zhao State."

"Not to mention these new weapons."

Xiong Fuchu sighed softly: "How could it be like this?"

Xiong Qi also thought that Xiong Fuchu was regretting that he could not get Qin's new ordnance.

As a result, Xiong Negichu looked at him with pity: "How could they treat my brother like this?"

"My brother must have had a very difficult time in Qin these years."

One sentence brought Xiong Qi to tears.

My brother has had a hard time living in Qin these past few years.

After all, he is also the Prime Minister of Great Qin!

How come the king and Lord Chang'an guard against the truth as much as they guard against outsiders!

Xiong Qi shook his head bitterly: "Even the Prime Minister of Qin is far inferior to the Young Master of Chu!"

While he was talking, the soldiers quickly entered the main hall.

Just as he was about to whisper into Zhaocen's ear, he heard Zhaocen's instructions: "Both young masters trust people, and I, the Zhao family, have nothing to say to others."

"Say it straight."

The soldier immediately handed over his hand and said, "Only through my humble inquiry did I find out that the Qin army's flying rocks caused serious damage to our Shouchun City wall."

"There are cracks in the east city wall!"

"In addition, the Qin army has just released a thousand prisoners, and these prisoners are screaming for help outside the south city gate."

Zhaocen and Xiong Fuchu both stood up and asked in disbelief: "Is the east city wall cracked?!"

Although the cracks do not mean the city is broken.

But how long has it been since the Qin army began to attack the city?
It’s not even a day yet!

The soldier bowed his hands and saluted: "I went to the east city wall to see it myself. There are indeed cracks."

Even Xiong Qidu was so shocked.

He had indeed heard that the catapult built by Ying Chengyu was very powerful.

But he never expected that the catapult built by Ying Chengyu would be so powerful!
But after all, Xiong Qi had heard of the reputation of the catapult, so he quickly accepted this fact and noticed another strange thing.

"Brother Uncle (Second Brother)." Xiong Qi said solemnly: "The Qin Army will not release a thousand prisoners for no reason."

"Chang'an Jun may be getting in touch with my brother through this method."

Xiong Fuchu said clearly: "Leave this matter to my brother."

With Xiong Fuchu's cooperation, Zhuang Jia not only entered Shouchun City smoothly, but also entered Zhaocen's mansion unimpeded.

Looking at Zhao Cen and Xiong Qi sitting in the main hall, Zhuang Jia solemnly raised his hands: "Zhuang Jia, the Marquis of Great Qin, pays homage to Xiangbang and pays homage to Zhao Zuoyin!"

Xiong Qi nodded slightly: "Why did Lord Chang'an send you to the city?" Zhuang Jia took a few steps forward, took out the bamboo slip and presented it with both hands: "Here is the handwriting of Lord Chang'an. Please read it to the Prime Minister!"

After taking the bamboo slip and checking the sealing mud, Xiong Qi cut open the sealing mud and unfolded the bamboo slip, and a line of writing came into view.

[Our troops have arrived outside Shouchun City and are attacking Shouchun City. 】

[Of course, I don’t want to commit more murderous crimes and only yearn for peace. 】

[Therefore, I ask the prime minister to lobby the Zhao family and inform the Zhao family that if the Jing family defends the city, it will be a great disadvantage to the Zhao family. I will use this to lure the Zhao family. If the Zhao family agrees, please set fire to three places in the south of the city after nightfall to inform them. . 】

[Please tell the Jing family again, Shouchun is the Shouchun of the King of Chu, but Gusu is the Gusu of the Jing family. 】

[If the Jing family is stubborn and still resists, then I will send my troops south to attack Gusu and massacre it! 】

[If Mr. Jing is willing to make peace with me, please raise three fires in the north of the city after nightfall to let him know. 】

[Later, I ask the Prime Minister to lobby the King of Chu, convey my yearning for peace, and strive to reach a peace treaty with the King of Chu. 】

There are many words for "peace" on the bamboo slips, but there are two words written between the lines on the bamboo slips: "kill"!
On weekdays, Ying Chengyu is not a gentleman, but he has a kind heart towards Qian Shou.

But it was such a pitiful general who now clearly carried out the 'City Slaughter' as a threat!
Holding the bamboo slips, Xiong Qi could already feel the violence and anger in Ying Chengyu's heart.

[The prince of Chang'an has become a dragon, and I would like to express my gratitude to the Prime Minister! 】

[I also wish Xiangbang can act appropriately in the Chu Kingdom. Although this battle weakens the authority of the King of Chu, it may enable Xiangbang to get help from the clans! 】

Seeing the last sentence, Xiong Qi's heart skipped a beat.

What does this mean?
If Shouchun City is really breached, Chu King Han's authority will inevitably be severely damaged.

If Xiong Qi can get the support of many clans at this time, then Xiong Qi...

hiss~
Xiong Han is the son of King Chu Kaolie, and I, Xiong Qi, am also the son of King Chu Kaolie.

He, Xiong Han, can sit on the throne of King Chu, why can't I, Xiong Qi, do it?
No, no!
In addition to Xiong Han, King Chu Kaolie also had a legitimate son, Xiong You.

Unless Xiong You also dies, it is possible for Xiong Qi to ascend to a high position with the help of the clan!
Unless Xiong You is also dead...

Once this idea emerges, it is difficult to suppress it.

Xiong Qi silently put the bamboo slips into the stove and said quietly: "The truth is that I know Lord Chang'an's intentions."

"Please Zhuanghou, please stay in Shouchun City temporarily and listen to the Prime Minister's instructions."

Zhuang Jia solemnly raised his hands: "Wei!"

After Zhuang Jia left with his soldiers, Xiong Fuchu walked into the main hall again.

Smelling the smell of the bamboo being roasted, Xiong Zicuchu asked casually: "Brother Qi, what do you want Lord Chang'an to do?"

Xiong Qi said in a deep voice: "Xiang Rong's troops should have arrived at Xinzheng City."

"Mr. Chang'an is in a hurry."

Xiong Fuchu smiled and clapped his hands: "You are worthy of being the son of our great Chu Shangzhu Kingdom. You are really brave!"

Xiong Qi shook his head: "The relationship between Chang'an Lord and Qin Wangzheng is very good."

"If the King of Qin dies, Lord Chang'an will definitely attack Shouchun City and massacre the city after conquering Shouchun City!"

Xiong Fuchu couldn't stop laughing: "Won't Lord Chang'an return to the army immediately to seize the throne?"

Shouchun City was breached, which was a good thing for Xiong Fuchu.

But if Ying Chengyu massacres the city after breaking it, then Xiong Fuchu has no chance of escaping Shouchun City alive!
After Xiong Qi pondered for a while, he shook his head again: "If Lord Chang'an wanted to be powerful, he wouldn't have endured until now."

"Even if Lord Chang'an kills Shouchun first and then returns to Qin, as long as Lord Chang'an does not die, no one in the Qin Dynasty can seize the throne from Lord Chang'an!"

"I believe that the Zhao family can help the Qin State, the clan, and even Shouchun City!"

Xiong Fuchu nodded slowly: "I think so too."

Zhaocen bowed his hands and said, "The Zhao family will not betray Da Chu."

"I will send the soldiers in the mansion to guard the city together."

"Of course, the number of my soldiers is exhausted, and it is beyond my control to feel sleepy and weak while defending the city."

Xiong Qi stood up and smiled: "Good!"

"Brother, I still need to go lobby the Jing family, so I'll say goodbye!"

After hurriedly leaving the Zhao clan's land, Xiong Qizhi entered the Jing clan's land and saw Jing Chou sitting alone in the main hall with a serious expression on his face.

Looking up at Xiong Qi, Jingchou forced a smile and bowed his hands: "I wonder why Young Master Qi is here?"

Xiong Qi cupped his hands and returned the courtesy: "I am here to convey Lord Chang'an's wishes."

"Chang'an Jun wants to make peace with the Jing family, but I wonder what Jing Mo Ao wants?"

Jingchou was so angry that he laughed: "Is his Lord Chang'an and my Jing family reconciled?"

"I, the Jing family, and Lord Chang'an must be inseparable!"

Why didn't you say it was fixed when you pressed me, Jing, on the head and beat her hard?
Why didn't you say it was fixed when you threw shit and urine on my head, Mr. Jing?
Tribe, you kill.

Disgusting, you are disgusted.

Now you want to make peace with me, the Jing family? !
Xiong Qi said in a deep voice: "The reason why Lord Chang'an wants to make peace with the Jing family is because of Lord Chang'an's good intentions, rather than because Lord Chang'an is afraid of the Jing family."

"If the Jing family rejects Lord Chang'an's kindness, Lord Chang'an will immediately send troops south to attack Gusu and massacre them!"

Jingchou slapped the table and stood up, shouting angrily: "On the battlefield, both armies are their own masters."

"He Yingcheng Jian'an dared to kill my Gusu to threaten my Jing family!"

Xiong Qi said quietly: "Xiang City has been destroyed."

"During the entire siege, Lord Chang'an never persuaded us to surrender."

In one sentence, Jingchou was said to be mute.

Ying Chengyu almost slaughtered Xiang Cheng, so why should he be afraid of slaughtering another Gusu?
Xiong Qi said warmly: "And why would the Jing family harm the Jing family soldiers to share the worries of the King of Chu?"

"The clan is the foundation of Chu, not the King of Chu!"

Jingchou looked at Xiong Qi unexpectedly: "Young Master actually has such an idea?"

Xiong Qi smiled: "If you value the clan, great Chu will prosper."

"If you neglect the clan, the great Chu will be defeated."

"Over the past hundreds of years, countless Chu kings have used examples to tell me how important the clan is to Chu."

"How can I, the young master, not be able to distinguish between the important and the important?"

If someone else said this, Jingchou would not have any emotions.

But it was the son of the late king, Young Master Xiong Qi, who said this!

Jingchou immediately felt close to Xiong Qisi, and even felt regret in his heart.

How great it would be if Xiong Qi was the legitimate son of the late king!

After pondering for a long time, Jingchou said solemnly: "The Jing family will not betray Dachu."

"But I will try my best to cooperate with Lord Chang'an."

"Of course, I also have a request."

Xiong Qi immediately said: "Please Jing Mo Ao speak frankly."

Jingchou said seriously: "It's too thin to just say that it will be repaired with just empty words."

"If Lord Chang'an really wants to make peace with me, the Jing family."

"Please Chang'an Lord, marry me, the Jing family's daughter!"
