Chapter 560: The Dilemma of the Roller Blinds
In the morning glow, countless homeless people with a variety of weapons and hungry eyes trembled through the streets and alleys towards the direction of the palace.
From afar, it looks like ants everywhere.
This is really a swarm of ants, in the eyes of mortal kings, and in the eyes of the gods and Buddhas of the heavenly court.
But the roller blinds have been tossed for so long, isn't it just for them?
Build a clean kingdom......
All the decrees, the roller blinds themselves did not benefit at all, but in the end, they became what they are today.
The last loyal guards on the walls of the palace unleashed rows of bows and pointed arrows at the homeless people. The general in charge of the Praetorian Guard had already raised one hand and looked sideways at the roller blinds.
"Your Majesty, give the order. With us, these rabble can't get in. ”
The curtain just looked at the homeless people who looked like hungry ghosts, pursed their lips, and was silent.
Gradually, all the generals looked towards the shutter, and even Tianpeng and Xuanzang, who were standing beside the shutter, looked at him silently.
The morning breeze raised the banner and brushed through the cheeks of the curtains, and the beard on that face trembled slightly in the wind.
The rebels, who rushed to the foot of the wall, beat the solid walls with weapons in vain.
A few emaciated homeless people carried the broken ladder to the wall, but the ladder could not reach the height of the wall, and they quickly retreated.
More ladders were lifted, and they began to assemble the low ladders together, trying to create a ladder out of thin air over the high walls of the palace.
The Praetorian guards' hands were trembling slightly, and what little morale they had left was waning.
The roller shutter still stood silently, letting the situation unfold.
The general looked at the curtain with a slightly stunned expression.
He really didn't understand what the roller blinds were hesitating about. Order. These homeless people don't say that they have attacked the city. Even in the field, it will definitely not be able to defeat the elite troops of the palace.
At the end of the day, they're just a rabble with nothing to eat.
But if this is consumed, the morale will be completely lost, and no matter how strong the troops are, they will not be able to recover.
Soon, the elongated ladders were assembled and leaned against the city walls.
The homeless people below began to climb hard.
However, these are nothing but no experience of war. Civilians who were unorganized and had nothing to eat, did not know that such a hastily assembled ladder could not bear the weight of a person. In a short time, two ladders broke in the air, and the people on them screamed and fell into the crowd, knocking the homeless people over.
The school shouted and killed one after another under the city wall, but the silence on the city wall was terrifying.
Everyone stood silently.
Time passed slowly, and the roller blinds were still staring blankly, and the hand holding the wall tightened and tightened.
Soon, the displaced people changed their ways. They used a horse-drawn cart to bring a huge stump from nowhere, and shouted as if it were a rushing cart. Slam the palace door with all your might.
Looking from inside the palace gate, the entire palace gate was shaking in a roar, and countless dust shook off.
A strange feeling quickly spread in the hearts of the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard.
"Your Majesty, as long as a few rounds of arrow rain have passed, these rabble will not be vulnerable at all! What are you waiting for?" the Praetorian Guard general pulled out the sword at his waist with a "Qiang" sound, and looked at the curtain in a daze.
After a long time, the roller shutter sighed lightly and said, "Marshal, do you think I should give the order?"
Canopy didn't speak.
After a little hesitation, the curtain shook his head slowly, and said, "What can't be killed, just like before, can't be killed." As long as there are still people hungry, there will be people who will take up arms. And...... Kill them, then what am I? Tyrant? Hey, I'm not even as good as a tyrant. ”
Canopy still didn't speak, just turned his face to look at the roller blinds.
After being silent for a while, the curtain pursed his lips and said, "I...... Let's get out. ”
"Go out?" For a while, the generals and soldiers around were all stunned.
Tianpeng and Xuanzang stood silently without saying a word.
The roller shutter sighed softly: "I go out, I am the initiator of a qiē." I'll go out and ...... with them Surrender. ”
Before the surrounding generals could react, the blinds turned around, walked through the crowd, and walked down the stairs.
"陛xià...... You can't go!"
A moment later, one of the generals roared, and all the people around seemed to wake up, and a large crowd frantically swarmed towards the stairs and caught up with the roller blinds.
In just an instant, the stairs of the palace wall were stuffed by them.
However, on the one-foot-wide staircase, a large group of soldiers surrounded the rolling shutters in the middle.
"Your Majesty, you can't go!"
"Those are outcasts, where will they negotiate with you, they will kill you!"
"They've been hungry for days, and they won't listen to you at all!"
"Your Majesty, the last general will kowtow to you, please! Don't go out! If something happens to you, it's really all over!"
"Thank you for being with me up to this point. The curtain muttered to himself: "Kill it, kill it, anyway, I deserve to die." ”
Several generals stood in front of the shutter, and the shutter easily pushed them forward.
Those are all generals who cross the battlefield, but in front of the rolling blinds, their strength is not even as good as a baby.
"Your Majesty, you can't go!Stop Your Majesty!" one of them couldn't hold it anymore and shouted out!
The soldiers who had been surrounding immediately understood, and they swarmed up, some grabbed the hand of the curtain, some held his legs, some pulled behind, and some ran to the front and pushed back.
There were hundreds of people, and their faces turned red one by one with the strength to eat, but they were pushed hard by the roller shutter and moved forward slowly.
The school yard under the steps, the tower on the city wall, the soldiers guarding it were dumbfounded.
I heard that this king of theirs is extremely powerful and can defeat a thousand people, but no one thought that in other legends, he can defeat a thousand people, which refers to the kind of "enemy of a thousand people" that "one man is a close to ten thousand people", and the curtain is rolled. It's really "a thousand people"!
"What else are you looking at! Come and help!"
With a snort. Suddenly. The dumbfounded soldiers quickly came to their senses. One by one, they rushed over to join the warband.
For a time, nearly 1,000 people were indirectly or directly preventing the roller shutters from moving forward. It's a pity that they don't even have the strength to bend a finger of the shutter, let alone block the pace of the shutter.
The soldiers pulled one by one, pushed one by one, and in a wail, the soldiers on the city wall pulled into the stone steps, and the soldiers on the stone steps were squeezed into the school field below.
On the city wall, Xuanzang watched silently. A sigh.
"Great Sage...... How long will it take?"
Tianpeng glanced down at the jade slip in his palm, hesitated slightly, but inserted the jade slip back into his waist: "I don't know, the one who should come will always come, if you can't catch up, then there is no way." There are some things that he has to face by himself after all, even if I try to stop them, I can't stop them. ”
With a loud bang, the vermilion palace gate collapsed. It stirred up smoke and dust in the sky.
The soldiers who surrounded the shutters were startled, and hurriedly let go and retreated.
Brush the floor. The perimeter of the roller shutter was empty. A large number of soldiers with heavy shields poured forward and formed a battle queue behind the shutters.
Gradually, the dust faded, and a large number of displaced people swayed outside the palace gate.
The few who walked in the front suddenly found the roller shutter standing in front of them, and they were startled and quickly shrank back.
For a while, the palace gate was opened, but the guards and the homeless people just held their breath and confronted each other across the palace gate.
After a while, a man sprang out from among the homeless people on the opposite side, raised the sickle in his hand and shouted, "Hand over the grain!"
Suddenly, the ranks of the homeless people were so excited that they raised their weapons and shouted, facing the arrows of the guards behind their shields, but still no one took a step forward.
"Put your bows down. The roller shutter said lightly.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing here, we don't have to be afraid of them at all!"
"I said put the bow down—!"
With a roar, the soldiers looked at each other for a long time before they slowly released their bows one by one.
Raising his head, the curtain whispered, "Put down your weapons, let's surrender." I'm going to talk to them, and whatever happens, don't do anything. ”
As he spoke, the curtain opened his steps and walked towards the outside of the palace gate.
Behind him, the general in command of the Praetorian Army threw his sword to the ground in anger.
With a "clanging" sound, swords, shields, and longbows fell to the ground.
The curtain walked out of the palace gate step by step, spread his hands, and showed that he did not have any weapons in his hands.
The homeless people stepped back shoulder to shoulder, elbow to elbow, three feet away from the roller blinds. The gaze went back and forth between the roller shutter and the forbidden army behind the roller shutter.
When he walked to the middle and stood still, he shouted in a rolling voice: "The palace is yours, and everything in it is yours." However, there was no food in the palace, not really. Whether you believe it or not, there is really no food in the treasury...... I, the king, have done an incompetent job, so I announce my abdication, and you can do whatever you want with me, but I beg you to spare the people in the palace. ”
The deep voice echoed in the empty sky.
At this time, the morning sun has risen high. One by one, the outcasts clenched their weapons and looked at the king they had always hated with some dismay.
On the high wall, Xuanzang and Tianpeng watched quietly.
The roller shutter turned sideways, pointed to the palace gate and said, "All I have are inside, you go and get it." But...... There was not much gold and silver, and the treasury was empty. ”
"What's the use of treasure? Lao Tzu wants food!" In the crowd, a tall and thin middle-aged man took out a string of pearls from his coat pocket and threw it in front of the roller blind, holding his fork and shouting: "Where is the grain?
"Yes, where is the food, where are you hiding, hurry up and hand it over!" the surrounding homeless people chimed in.
"There is no food. The shutter shouted in a lengthened voice.
"You are lying, there is no food, so you let that monk take us to the capital to get food? You must have hidden it, hurry up and hand it over!"
"Hand it over, hand it over!" shouted in unison.
A homeless man rushed out of the crowd and was dragged back, waving his hoe and shouting at the shutters: "If you don't hand over the food, we will kill you!"
"Kill. The curtain closed his eyes, spread his hands and said, "Death is also a relief." ”
Everyone froze, staring at the roller blinds in a daze.
After a brief silence, a stone flew from the crowd towards the blind, slamming it on the blind's forehead.
Suddenly, countless people rushed towards the roller shutter like crazy.
"Kill him—do him!" someone roared.
"He can't kill it! He must have hidden the grain! Find the food before killing!"
However, after all, the people who blocked it were a minority, and in the blink of an eye, countless people had rushed to the side of the roller shutter, waving various weapons and beckoning towards the roller shutter.
In the midst of the sticks and hammers, the curtain seemed to be settled, and he slowly reached out to hold his head, squatted down, and let them fight.
There was chaos outside the palace gate, and inside the palace gate, the soldiers of the guards all watched quietly, with a kind of dazed eyes in their eyes.
They never dreamed that the king, who "loved his people like sons", would end up like this.
In the midst of the dust, the curtains covered their heads and closed their eyes tightly. A wisp of blood slowly flowed down from his forehead, quickly contaminated with sand and dust, turning into a dead gray color.
A mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but he snorted and laughed.
On the city wall, Xuanzang asked softly: "The curtain general is Taiyi Golden Immortal, but these people don't even have the slightest cultivation, will they die?"
"Yes. Tianpeng sighed softly: "The spiritual power protection has been removed, and only pure flesh and blood remain...... It's just a matter of time. ”
Hearing this, Xuanzang couldn't help but be silent.
Countless homeless people poured into the palace gate like a tidal wave, and the guards inside made way for them to make way for them.
They galloped all the way and soon found the so-called grain depot in the not very large royal palace.
However, when they opened the door, they saw only a few sparse bags of grain.
The homeless people, who were already hungry and faint, quickly rushed in, scrambled for it, grabbed the uncooked rice grains and stuffed them into their mouths. For a moment, the scene was even more brutal than the battlefield.
The only food was quickly snatched away, and countless homeless people poured back to the palace gate.
There, the drama of beating the king was still going on, and no one could stop it.
At first, the homeless people played roller blinds to vent their anger, and no matter how they beat them, they couldn't get angry. But slowly, people began to notice something unusual. So many people beat him, and he didn't die? And the knife could not penetrate, and the sword could not pierce.
Gradually, the men began to retreat, leaving only the scarred roller shutters lying down, looking at the sky and smiling.
"Say, where did you hide the grain, and why is there only so little grain in the granary?"
The roller shutter laughed.
At this moment, someone screamed: "Grain! Grain is coming!"
Suddenly, there was a commotion.
Before the roller shutter could react, something had already fallen from the sky and hit him in the face.
Tianpeng looked up and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "This is ...... Grain rain?" (To be continued......)
