Chapter 81: Calculation

The brothers, whose legs trembled, stepped into the dilapidated gate of Jiujiang City, and were greeted by the corpses pillowing along the street. The cruelty of war has transformed these villagers from humans into wild beasts, and their atrocities are simply outrageous without restraint.

The bodies of the men were mutilated, some of them had their skulls shattered. Some were cut off to see their heads, and some even had their limbs cut off and left to bleed to death.

Occasionally, one or two corpses of women and children appeared, most of them in tattered clothes, and many of them still maintained their fighting posture. Some of the houses were blazing with blazing fires, and the smoke was filled with the smell of burnt flesh.

"What have we done, Master Hou...... Will Master Hou correct us! Canglan looked at Zheng Bin with a weak heart, and Zheng Bin was also pale at this time. He didn't answer Canglan's words, just looked helplessly at the tragic scene on the street, and no one could understand what he was saying.

The chubby Liu Ji's face turned pale with fright, and the heart-rending howls and the woman's sharp and piercing screams made Liu Ji restless. The palace concubines and palace maids in the palace were so frightened that they trembled, and they didn't dare to imagine what would happen to them if the city was broken.

"Lord Wang, the concubine doesn't want to die! Rajah. Liu Ji's favorite concubine grabbed Liu Ji's sleeve, and there were already two corpses of favorite concubines lying on the ground.

"Aifei, I don't want you to die either. But those mobs rushed in, and you ...... Lone doesn't want you to be ruined by them! Rest assured, it will be fine soon. As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword had already stabbed into the towering chest.

Liu Ji's chubby face was filled with tears, and he reached out to grab a pregnant palace person. "Lord Wang. Please, don't! I still have your baby in my belly! The cry of the palace people made Liu Ji's hand stagnate slightly, and he hesitated for a moment but grabbed it without hesitation.

His ruddy face turned pale, and his well-maintained body seemed to have aged by more than ten years all of a sudden. Under the crown, the white hair fluttered, and the flying silver hair was like rain in the thick fog. The blood-dripping sword slashed across the neck of the palace man, as if an old peasant in the countryside was killing chickens.

Hot blood gushed out, squirting on Liu Ji's royal robe and soaking a large area. Liu Ji felt a sudden heat on his face, and reached out to touch his hand, but there was bright red blood. The muddy old tears poured down in an instant, and he not only ended the life of the palace man, but also the life of the unborn child. The palace people kneeling around seemed to see a devouring demon.

They screamed. Panicked and fled everywhere. The guards around him drew their swords one after another, and the screams and screams of the women came and went. It was just a short tea time, and the hall was quiet. The screams, the screams, and the moans of the women were all gone.

Liu Ji walked in the quiet hall. With every step, you can step on half-dried blood. Slippery, sticky blood stained the soles of the shoes. Walking makes a "hiss" and "hiss" sound. Liu Ji looked at the corpses scattered all over the hall. Laugh out loud. The laughter was full of desolation, and the laughter was wantonly flying old tears.

The guards bowed their heads, the blood on their swords solidified black. They are all Liu Ji's diehards. Although Liu Ji is mean and unkind. But he still did some good things, and there are still some people who follow him at this moment.

"Find some firewood, Lone is the dragon species of the Tianhuang Noble Emperor. He enjoyed all the wealth of the world during his lifetime, and he did not want to be humiliated in front of others after death. You guys...... You will burn me on fire, and it can be regarded as the last errand for solitude. ”

Liu Ji's tone was desolate and sad, like a dying old cow. Tears can flow down silently.

"Lord Wang! Now that the palace is not broken, the prince really can't do a senseless move! The general's reinforcements were all wiped out, but the days of the Huainan King's reinforcements should be approaching. As long as we hold on for a few more days, are we afraid that there will be no way out? Rajah! We've survived the siege for more than a month, so why can't we wait a few more days. ”

Ignoring the strong smell of blood, the chief of the guard knelt down in a pool of blood with a "poof". The hand tightly grasped the hand that Liu Ji held the sword, and refused to part with it.

"The general trend has gone, the general trend has gone! If he, Liu An, wanted to help, the soldiers and horses should have arrived a long time ago. Now that the thieves have been besieging the city for more than a month, he can climb from Huainan even if he climbs. What is the same clan and the same clan, what blood is compatible and blood is thicker than water.

Bullshit! It's all his mother's deception, the husband and wife are the same forest birds, and they fly separately when disaster comes. The person sleeping next to the pillow in the same bed is still like this, let alone the brothers of the same clan who can only see each other in a few years. Count on him, huh! ”

Liu Ji also lived to the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, how could he not know the warmth and coldness of the world. Don't look at these Liu clan relatives, they are polite to see in Chang'an during the festival. is all comparisons in his bones, and whoever has a luxurious life will say a few strange words bitterly. Whoever has a poor life will be condescending and give some worthless comfort. But if you open your mouth to borrow money from them, you will definitely not have a word.

People's hearts are cold, and people say that ruthlessness is the most emperor's family. Liu Ji has been a prince all his life, don't you know that this prince has a little Jiujiu in his heart. I'm afraid that some people are still looking forward to the time when he divides the land in the future after his vein is broken. Jiujiang, a rich land, may be called king by them.

Liu An's army of 50,000 set off from Huainan last month, and has been on the road for more than a month now. Anyway, it should have arrived, but now I can't even see the shadow of a soldier. Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, saw that the Wu family had no heirs and robbed the king of Changsha of the Wu family. His 30,000 soldiers and horses were close at hand, and it was an exaggeration to say that the morning and evening were coming, but they were always in time for three or five days.

The princes and kings of the Liu family are still like this, and those Taishou county orders appointed by the imperial court are even more wise to protect themselves. Only one Dou Yuan came to reinforce himself, and he was burned by Canglan overnight and the whole army was annihilated. Now it is convenient to count on Liu An's army to count on the heavenly soldiers and generals who fell from the sky to help him defend this palace city.

"There will be no reinforcements, there will be no more. The lineage of the King of Jiujiang has spread to Lone here, even if it is a desperate household. The only thing Lone regrets is that he didn't treat you well before. Now that you are lonely and ruined, you can't give you more wealth. There are so many of you, grandpa and dad are all lonely's guards. has worked hard for several generations, just to ask for a wife and a son. But I can't give you anything, but I owe you alone in this life. If there is an afterlife, I will repay you one by one. ”

Liu Ji looked at his subordinates who were kneeling on the ground, and deeply regretted his previous meanness. These people can still follow them at this time, and they are all loyal and righteous people. I have been a miser all my life, and now there are mountains of gold and silver in the treasury. If I knew today, it would have been better to disperse earlier and make the lives of these guards better.

"Lord Wang, all of us have received the grace of the Lord for generations. It is appropriate to repay the prince, and his subordinates persuade the prince to settle down for a few days. If this palace is about to be destroyed, it is not too late to kill himself. The chief guard knelt on the ground and begged, and the guards next to him were also miscellaneous.

Seeing that the guards unanimously persuaded him, Liu Ji reluctantly let go of his hand. The blood-stained sword fell to the ground with a thud. "Well, since you have persuaded the orphan to survive for a few days. If the heavens do not kill me, reinforcements will arrive in the imperial court. The lonely king swore to the sky, if so, but there was a glimmer of life. In the future, loneliness and waiting will not forget each other. ”

The guards wiped away their tears, leaving the two on duty, and the rest of the men retreated with the chief of guards.

"The second and third children have listened to it, and those who want to live are optimistic about the prince. Our lives are all on this prince alone, if anyone doesn't watch carefully, don't blame your brothers for being ruthless. ”

"Big brother, this prince has become like this. We still protect him, how can his life and death be related to the life and death of our brothers. The younger brother of the chief of the guard asked puzzled.

"Pig brain, let's keep it for a few days. Although this palace is not as tall as the city walls, it is better than the small area. It is estimated that it can be held for a few days, if no reinforcements arrive after three days. Let's tie up this old horseman and go to the Yun family to change his life, maybe we can even mix some rewards. ”

"The eldest brother is smart, the third can't wear these words into the ears of the fourth person. Otherwise, the life of the eldest brother will not be guaranteed, if the prince is saved, our family will not be rich, you know no. ”

"Yes, yes." The third child hurriedly nodded his head and kowtowed.

Liu Ji never imagined that the captain of the guard, who spoke sincerely, did such a calculation.

The blood-like remnant sun slowly set over the horizon, and inky darkness covered the land. The crescent moon hung in the sky only a little, as if it didn't want to hear the wails of the poor people of Jiujiang.

As night fell, the chaos in Jiujiang City reached its climax. Looting and killing were everywhere, and the howls of men and the screams of women could be heard in almost every street. Jiujiang City has completely fallen into hell, Canglan and Zheng Bin can't do anything about it, and those guys who have snatched the red eyes have begun to get angry because of the uneven distribution of spoils.

Bloodshed and carnage filled Jiujiang City, and the fires in the city had spread. Canglan and Zheng Bin could only take their direct subordinates and hold the city gate to the death. Leave a glimmer of life for those who have fled.

Those villagers saw that the Yun family did not participate in the robbery, but they did not dare to provoke the Yun family. The people of Jiujiang are like rats, hiding in dark corners. Seeing a gap, he rushed out of the streets and ran out of the city gate frantically.

Cang Lan sighed, although he was able to gather these rabble. But it was too difficult to restrain them, and that's when he understood. Why did Yun Xiao say that it would only bring disaster if it was not for the sake of leading the troops. It's not your own, it's someone else's.

"Don't attack the palace, just surround it. Looking at the current situation, it may not be a good thing to take the palace. After this battle, I should think that Master Hou will ask for guilt. Please ask Hou Ye to appoint another meritocracy to run Jiangnan. (To be continued......)
