Chapter 364 - I am An Zheng

There were four people when he left State of Yan and four when he returned. It was just that the Divisions Monk had been replaced with Chen Shaobai. However, after leaving the vicinity of the Western Regions, the four of them turned into three people when they passed through the State of Zhao. Chen Shaobai left in a hurry, he did not know what kind of change Purple Ivy’s flower bud could bring to his father. Chen Shaobai waerson who spoke truthfully and truthfully. Even An Zheng was unable to discern if he was lying when he said that he was a descendant of Purple Ivy or not.

In the end, he still chose to leave with An Zheng. He was not at ease with Old Cow, but in the end, he still returned.

The two of them began their journey back home, looking a little lonely.

Du Shoushou saw that An Zheng was not in a good mood, and even though he was constantly telling meat jokes along the way, he himself was more than happy.

“Tell me, exactly how many stories do you think Qi Tian has?”

Du Shoushou held a furry grass in his mouth, and his eyes were filled with yearning. “At that time, when Immortals were everywhere, it was not uncommon even for sages to see them. How awe-inspiring is it for a monkey to use an iron rod to attack the Great Thunder Lake Temple from the Immortal Palace to the Great Thunder Lake Temple? ”

An Zheng said: “Originally, it was a natural and unrestrained First Demon Sovereign, but after heading west, there was no happiness in my heart anymore.”

Du Shoushou sighed: “There must be something going on between him and the Divisions Monk, I have always thought that the Divisions Monk was lying …”

An Zheng replied: Divisions is a good monk.

Du Shoushou: “Looking down on the Buddhist Sect, my heart looks forward to it. After this trip, he realized that many things were not as well-known as meeting each other. If it were only those beautiful legends and legends, then he would still be able to feel some comfort in his heart. “I feel that the Buddhist country in the Western Regions is an extremely happy and pure land, but after actually seeing it, I know that it’s just as dirty as before.”

An Zheng: “This trip back, your ability to speak has increased quite a bit.”

Du Shoushou: “People have to improve eventually.”

He spat out the furry grass in his mouth, “An Zheng, when are we going to the Da Xi? The real martial arts world was in Da Xi. I was thinking about that Dragon Lion in my heart, but I knew that my cultivation was too weak. It was impossible for me to go to Da Xi to rescue it. “But I just want to turn the world upside down by killing him in the Da Xi world.”

An Zheng replied, “Once we help the Xiao Qi Dao stabilize the situation, we will definitely go to the Da Xi Empire. Not only the Dragon Lion, there are also a lot of things that needs to be settled in the Great Western Region. ”

As the two of them walked and talked, they noticed a small town in front of them that was bustling with people. and Du Shoushou did not want to cause too much trouble, after all, they were not very happy with the State of Zhao. The two of them planned to avoid the attack. Then, they saw a group of civilians rushing out of the town. The soldiers of Zhao Jun, on the other hand, were at the back of the crowd, unceasingly drawing their bows and shooting arrows.

Du Shoushou’s face turned cold: Why does Zhao Jun still want to kill his own citizens?

An Zheng: “Let’s go take a look.”

The town was not small, at least a few thousand people. This place was close to the border of the West Qiang, and could be considered to be one of the most important trading towns. The merchants of the State of West Qiang sold their goods here, then bought the items from the Central Plains that they needed and returned to the West. When An Zheng and the others passed by, they did not stay for long.

An Zheng noticed that the people who rushed out of the town were all elderly, women and children.

Du Shoushou could not even see this as he rushed forward and started to beat the crap out of them. The field officer in the lead was beaten up so badly by Du Shoushou that his figure was almost indiscernible.

“Why did you kill him?”

Du Shoushou asked fiercely.

The field officer replied with a sad face, “This is the order from the higher ups. I had no choice but to do it.” “If I do not follow the military order, the one who will die will be me.”

“Why?!”

Du Shoushou asked again.

The commanding officer looked around and saw that several hundred of his men had been overturned. They were either dead or crippled, and there wasn’t even a single person who could help. He could also tell that this sturdy man wauthless character. If he didn’t tell the truth, then there wouldn’t be any good ending. After hesitating for a while, he answered honestly, “Just two days ago, the border army received orders to capture strong men from all over the border to enlist in the army. The rest of the people will be killed and the blame will be placed on the State of Qiang.”

Du Shoushou was so angry that his lips were trembling. “You bunch of bastards, didn’t you kill your fellow countrymen? We are all from State of Zhao, why are you so vicious! ”

The field officer trembled as he replied, “Great sir, you can’t blame us for this. On one side of the State of Zhao was the West Qiang, while on the other side was the Great Xixi. However, if they had a choice, they would still have to get closer to Da Xi. Two days ago, people from Da Xi came to ask the State of Zhao to send troops to fight against the State of Qiang. However … A war like this, without any reason, was bound to arouse the displeasure of the people. “Therefore, the higher ups thought of a way to kill all the towns on the border. They said that it was done by the people of the West Qiang. That way, they would be able to make a name for themselves by mobilizing troops on the West Qiang.”

“You bastard!”

Du Shoushou smashed apart the field officer’s skull witunch, his face twisted in anger.

“Why is this happening?”

he asked.

An Zheng said: “Isn’t it because of the immortal palace… Da Xi wanted to occupy the immortal palace, but the immortal palace was located in the Tsukiko and a few hundred miles west of West Qiang. If he were to continue fighting like this, it would be impossible for him to make a name for himself. However, once Da Xi started a war with the Buddhist powers in the Western Regions, the vanguard would definitely use the small countries that she was attached to as cannon fodder. State of Zhao and the State of Qiang are at the border. Without question, the State of Zhao is the first cannon fodder to rush up. ”

“There are three thousand Buddhist countries in the Western Regions, but there are also hundreds of small countries that are attached to Da Xi. To be honest, this was just a battle between Golden Crown and Da Xi. The Golden Crown will make small countries like the West Qiang and the Tsukiko take the lead, and the Da Xi will of course use small countries like the State of Zhao and Korea to take the lead. ”

“King Zhao is not an idiot, of course he would understand. What should he do if he wanted to preserve the strength of his country and not offend Da Xi? First, he had to find an excuse for the border armies to kill and shift the blame to the State of Qiang. In this way, public opinion would support sending troops out in the face of domestic anger. But once they sent out their troops, the State of Zhao would not be far from being destroyed. Secondly, capture all the able-bodied men in the villages at the border. When the time comes, put on their military uniforms and pretend that the elite soldiers of the Zhao Army were going to attack the State of Qiang. “This way, I can give Da Xi an explanation.”

Du Shoushou smashed a huge boulder beside him with his fist. “F * ck his mother!”

An Zheng sighed: “It’s not just the State of Zhao, Korea is a country that is relatively close to the Western Regions, as well as the sixteen northern countries of Youlan City, I’m afraid that no one will be able to escape from here. Why was it that Da Xi didn’t allow countries to annex each other for so many years? If they fought casually, then one of them wouldn’t be able to get destroyed. Even a small country like the Zhongshan Country could survive in this situation. If it wasn’t because of the current situation, these small countries would be the first troops that Da Xi ordered. ”

Du Shoushou: “Such a Da Xi is not the Da Xi that I yearn for in my heart.”

An Zheng shook his head, “The so-called justice and divinity of Da Xi are all self-proclaimed. We have no choice but to deal with what we see and what we can’t see. Go back to the State of Yan as soon as possible. I’m afraid that Da Xi will try to suppress the State of Zhao as well. ”

Du Shoushou: “Xiao Qi Dao would never agree.”

“That’s right.”

An Zheng said: “If Xiao Qi Dao does not agree, and if we do not, that is dangerous. The moment Da Xi gave the order for the other nations to fight, the State of Yan stood out and said no, so the Da Xi would definitely be intimidated. ”

Du Shoushou said: “I would rather die than submit.”

He turned his head to look at the commoners, “Run for your lives. Your King Zhao no longer views you as his subjects. Although it is more dangerous than war, it is better to travel from here to the Mount Cang Man s from the north. ”

The citizens were extremely grateful and ran back to pack their things. Each one of them looked so sad.

Since then, they have been displaced.

An Zheng and Du Shoushou were worried about the State of Yan, they did not dare to delay along the way, and hurried back as fast as they could. The State of Zhao was close to the Western Regions, and things like what happened in that town were happening everywhere. An Zheng and the others immediately lenand when they saw it. They walked northeast for less than two hundred kilometers, saving at least tens of thousands of lives. It was obvious that King Zhao had decided to give up within a radius of two hundred miles from West Qiang.

To willfulness, this was the worst thing that could happen. But to the King Zhao, this kind of choice could only be considered as an act of helplessness. His idea was to cut off a piece of flesh to preserve most of the place. But was it really useful? Hundreds of miles to the north and south, and two hundred miles to the east and west. Within this range, at least hundreds of thousands of people would die in vain. The elderly, the weak, the children were killed, and the able-bodied men were forced to become soldiers, who then became cannon fodder to attack the West.

When it came to the border between the State of Zhao and himself, this sort of thing wasn’t over yet. The King Zhao had clearly given the order to the northern border’s army. Zhao Jun began to frantically steal the citizens of the State of Yan from the border. Those who were captured were all sent to the battlefield in the western border.

At this point, they had no allies anymore.

The border of the State of Yan was already extremely grim, but the Yan Army did not dare to start a large-scale war with the Zhao Army without permission from the Imperial Court. The skirmishes did not stop, but the troops from both sides began to retreat as soon as they came into contact with each other. Zhao Jun avoided the State of Yan armies as much as possible, and likack of wolves, he started to crazily capture the citizens at the border. Not only did they capture the citizens of the State of Yan, they did not even let the people of the State of Zhao escape.

Anyway, capture them, kill them, and give them all to the State of Yan people.

State of Yan became Glazed City.

The Yan Army’s border army general, Kuang Wei’s eyes turned red, “Still haven’t received any news from the imperial government?”

His deputy general lowered his hand and said, “General …” It’s three thousand miles to and from the capital. Even if our people did their best to deliver letters to the capital, they’ve only just arrived. “When the decree comes from the capital, it will probably be next month.”

Conway smashed the table. “I can’t wait! Zhao Jun is becoming more and more impudent, yesterday, he already penetrated fifty miles deep into the great swallow, and killed people. I rushed over with my men. They had already run away. If this continues, it won’t be long before all of our people at the border are captured. “Where is the general? Is there any news from him?”

“General?”

The deputy general’s face turned pale as he said, “Without the imperial government’s order, how could he dare to give such an order! Since it involves the relationship of an ally with the State of Zhao, who would dare to take this crime lying down their sleeves? ”

“I’ll carry it!”

Conway straightened up. “Even if I die, I can’t take it anymore. Send the order, from today onwards, if you meet Zhao Jun, kill him. Once Zhao and his army cross the border, I will bring you guys back to kill. “If the imperial government blames me, I will bear the blame myself!”

As he was speaking, a person walked in with large strides.

“You don’t have to take it, I’ll take it.”

An Zheng walked in from the outside with large strides: “I am An Zheng, I will be the one in charge of this matter!”
