Chapter Seventy-Seven: Choose One of the Two, Kill Your Wife and Save the Country
The Son of Heaven finally returned to the ancestral city, not to mention anything else, as his base camp, there are more than 40,000 people living in the ancestral city. Their existence is still the belief of their own 8,000 soldiers.
Now, if he gives the order, ignore the current situation of the ancestral city being besieged. Then, this army with a high temperament will definitely deviate from morality.
However, his decision seems to be a little late. When he returned to the ancestral city, the people standing on the city wall were no longer soldiers of the ancestral country.
"You are the king of the ancestral country!" Although Kitakami Shenwu is a questioning sentence, his tone is an affirmative sentence.
"That's right! I am the king of the ancestral kingdom - the Son of Heaven, who are you? Looking at the fully bandaged figure, the Son of Heaven asked.
"I am the king of the kingdom of heaven - the northern god of Shenwu. Now I have conquered your kingdom. "The situation explained by Jimmu Kitakami.
“…… How are the people in the city? After a moment of silence, the Son of Heaven asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Don't worry! They were so nice! Except for a small number of people who resisted, the vast majority of me did not move. Looking at the iron-clad silver suit, like a heavenly soldier descending from the earth, Beishang Shenwu looked at the bandages on his body and sneered.
"Do you know where my injuries came from? Thanks to Kaguya, I was almost killed by her. Right now, there's a fire burning in my heart. ”
"Kaguya...... How is she? As soon as he heard Kaguya's name, the Son of Heaven immediately became a little excited.
"Don't worry, she's running away from me." Beishang Shenwu said coldly: "Otherwise, I would have withdrawn with her a long time ago, how could I still talk to you here." ”
"You...... What do you want to do? At this time, the Son of Heaven heard the voice-over of the northern Shenwu.
"I'll give you two choices!" Beishang Shenwu raised a finger and said, "One, fight to the death with me." Of course, before the decisive battle, none of the 40,000 people in the city would survive. ”
"Two, I want you to kill Kaguya and bring back her head. If you do so, I will withdraw my troops immediately, and I will not touch any more of your ancestral kingdoms. Moreover, in ten years, my kingdom of heaven will not fight your idea. ”
"That's right! I like smart, useful, good-looking women, but it's dangerous enough to easily break my neck, so forget it! ”
"How? Whether it's a country or a woman, you choose! ”
"I want a little time!" Standing there stunned, the Son of Heaven said loudly.
"No problem! It's really a difficult option to choose, and I can give you time. However, there is only one day, and I will only give you one day. After a day, if you don't give me an answer, I'll make a choice for you. After saying that, Beishang Shenwu turned around and left here.
"Lord Shenwu, if he chooses the second option, do we really want to let them go? These days, His Majesty has also seen the situation in the Kingdom of Ancestors, and as long as they are given time and their skills, it is estimated that they will grow to the point of threatening us. One position behind the northbound Shenwu, a high-ranking officer asked him a question.
"Of course I do!" Beishang Shenwu glanced at him and said, "I just promised that the Kingdom of Heaven would not trouble the Kingdom of Ancestors. As for the kingdom of the other, if they have killed nearly 30,000 people of the kingdom of the other, can the kingdom of the other take revenge? ”
"This ...... Wise adults! The officer was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, bowing to the northbound Shenwu.
……
On the other side, after getting the choice given by the king of the Kingdom of Heaven to go north to Shenwu, the Son of Heaven returned to his military camp in despair.
"Lord Tianzi......" Seeing the Son of Heaven standing in a daze, his officers asked with some concern.
"Leave me alone! Let me be quiet for a moment. Go and take precautions! Don't be attacked by the Kingdom of Heaven! ”
“…… Be! Glancing at the Son of Heaven, the officer obeyed his orders and left.
After that, time passed minute by minute. Soon, the time came the next morning.
"Huh? The smell of blood! The next day, just as the officer was about to enter the camp of the Son of Heaven to ask for instructions, he suddenly smelled a familiar smell of blood.
The next moment, his face changed drastically, and the officer quickly rushed into the barracks. Then he saw the Son of Heaven sitting at the low table unharmed.
Of course, the Son of Heaven cannot be said to be safe and sound. At this time, the Son of Heaven's hands were wrapped in white bandages, and on the bandages, there were dots of maroon blood.
And, on the face of the Son of Heaven, the officer saw his pale face that had not slept all night and his bloodshot horrified eyes.
"Lord Son of Heaven......" At this time, just as the officer was about to ask something, the Son of Heaven interrupted his questioning.
"Send a messenger to the Kingdom of Heaven, and say I'll choose the second option. Then, the rest of the troops went with me to Liangying Mountain to find Kaguya. ”
"Yes! Your Majesty understands! "Having received the order, the officer left the barracks.
After that, the army was activated, and the Son of Heaven marched in the direction of Liangying Mountain with an army of 8,000.
……
"Pick the second one?" Looking at the envoy in front of him, Beishang Shenwu asked lightly.
"Yes, that's what the Son of Heaven said." Nodding, the messenger said.
"Alright! I see, you go down! Let the envoy of the ancestral country retreat, and go north Shenwu murmured: "If you have such courage, I can't keep you!" ”
"Go! Sending scouts to spy on the other side's movements requires detailed information. Also, the more visible your movements are, the better. ”
"Yes!"
……
At this time, with the march of the army, the Son of Heaven and the others finally came to the secret place of Liangying Mountain.
Looking at the empty wooden house, the Son of Heaven stood there in silence for a moment.
"Lord Heaven, the scouts of the Kingdom of Heaven have been wandering around us." Here, the officers under the Son of Heaven reported to him.
"Ignore them, they're just the other party watching us." Speaking lightly, the Son of Heaven looked at the black marks on the ground, and he was able to make up how dangerous the situation was that day.
"Find it! Along the sealed exit, the army dispersed to find Kaguya! ”
"Yes!"
After that, with the issuance of the order, the 8,000 army of the ancestral country began to separate piecemeal.
And on the side of the Kingdom of Heaven, they also used conspicuous actions in the most conspicuous place to clearly spread the information of the Ancestral Kingdom.
Then, through a carpet search, for three days, the army of the Ancestral Country did not find any trace of Kaguya.
At this time, he was silently thinking in the heart of the Son of Heaven, so that this search operation would go on endlessly. And when he used the method of delaying time to get the army of the Kingdom of Heaven to leave, news of Kaguya appeared.
Based on the actions of the Celestial Kingdom scouts, they were able to obtain Kaguya's whereabouts through the testimony of a mountain dweller.
At this point, under the notification of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Son of Heaven got the whereabouts of Kaguya.
