Chapter 28: Smoke of the Beacon (24)

Bu Jingxian issued the same orders along the way as when the Divine Soul Army was in Wei State. The martyrs passed by, and the soldiers and civilians of Yan State were everywhere. Those who could be robbed were robbed, and those who could not be robbed were burned and destroyed. The walls of the city and towers along the way were destroyed by Bu Jingxian with their supernatural power. After this journey of killing and baptism, the martyrs of Yan State became a brutal army with high fighting spirit.

At this moment, the Zhou Kingdom had already captured the capital of South Korea and captured the King of South Korea alive.

The Zhou army swept across South Korea like a tide, and most of the South Korean territory fell into the hands of Zhou shortly afterwards. However, near the border between Chen and Qi, many Korean civil servants and military generals surrendered to the two countries when they saw that they were unable to defeat the Zhou army. Only a few defended the city and were never willing to surrender.

Although these people's insistence has nothing to do with the overall situation, it has prompted many Korean martial arts masters to gather. In addition, the largest martial arts sect in South Korea, the mighty Wuzong, launched an anti-Zhou Xinghan alliance, which has attracted more than 300 Korean martial arts sects from all over the country, and many martial arts practitioners from the martial arts world to join. All of them have the hatred of losing their country and hope to kill a few more people from the Zhou Kingdom.

Not long ago, there was a sensational figure in South Korea. Because he had cultivated the secrets of ancient magic skills, many famous Korean masters were challenged and defeated by him, so he won the honor of being the number one master in South Korea. Later, the Divine Sword Sect was established, and several elders were all his brothers and sisters. Although the number was small, they were famous.

The alliance initiated by the Virgin Sect also invited the Sect Leader of the Divine Sword Sect to serve as the deputy leader.

The anti-Zhou Xinghan martial arts cultivators alliance helped the fallen Korean generals resist several attacks from the Soul Army, but they were outnumbered and watched the Soul Army continue to capture more land that originally belonged to South Korea.

When they realized that it was impossible to withstand more than one million Zhou troops with their strength, the Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect volunteered to assassinate Princess Zhou - the sisters of Bai.

The anti-Zhou Xing and South Korea alliance carefully prepared for this and invited more than 100 South Korean most famous martial arts masters, led by the leader of the Divine Sword Sect, to the original Han capital and carry out the assassination plan!

Handu, the old Korean royal palace, Tianzhu.

The King of Han and the important civil and military officials who were unwilling to surrender were all detained here.

Among them is the former Korean Prime Minister Zheng Pi.

Zheng Pi now has a disheveled hair and a prison uniform. Her face is dirty and has not been cleaned for many days. She is locked in a cell covered with hay, and the one who is detained next to her is King Han.

When he was first sent to the cell, Zheng Pi seemed obsessed because he was unacceptable.

Every day, he held the iron railing of the cell with his eyes red and shouted, "I want to see Zhao Tian! I want to see Zhao Tian! He is a liar, he is a liar..."

At night, Zheng Pi squatted alone in a corner of the cell, allowing the old Korean ministers to scold him and curse him.

"Zheng Pi, you are a stake, Korea is destroyed by your hands..."

"Zheng Pi, you, a sinner for the ages!"

"Zheng Pi, you must die a good death. In order to personally ignore the interests of South Korea, we tried our best to dissuade them that day, but you ignored them all. Now that South Korea is destroyed, you still have the face to live and make people scold you. If I were you, I would have apologized for death!"

“…”

The shouts and scoldings like this almost never stopped.

However, King Han, who should have cursed Zheng Pi the most, never made a harsh word.

Since the King of Han was imprisoned in the heavenly prison, he has remained silent.

It was not until the morning of the second day after being locked up that I spoke the first sentence.

"Come... I'm thirsty, I'm here..."

The moans of the King of Korea asking for help in the dim sky prison were particularly clear, which caused many civil and military officials who had already fallen asleep to wake up. Knowing that it was the King of Korea's moans, many people couldn't help but cry, kneeling down and crying, "Your Majesty, Youth..." but they were helpless and wanted to give him some clean water.

Someone took the lead in slapping the iron railing and shouting people, and others followed suit.

However, the prisoner is from the north. He knows that the prisoners are full and have enough energy and shout hard. He deliberately makes them thirsty for a few days, and they can't scream when they are weak, so that they can't scream, so that they can't be able to hear them. When they hear the shouting, they simply close the door, drink and eat, and chat to pass on the boredom at night.

The Korean civil and military officials were so tired that they could not scream.

King Han was also weak and knew that the futile shouting was useless, so he closed his mouth. He only looked back on the past when he was in the palace, and couldn't help but burst into tears while thinking about it. He thought that many times in the past only focused on enjoyment but not enterprising, and ended up in the fields of today. He became more and more sad when he regretted it, and could not stop the tears.

After two days, the prison guard finally brought food and drink, but some leftovers and a bowl of water.

The King of Han didn't care about his demeanor, so he drank dry water in one breath, grabbed the rice and fed it into his mouth. The embarrassing attitude of the civil and military officials in the prison was not inferior to the King of Han.

On the contrary, although Zheng Pi was no longer crazy, he became particularly quiet. He was not hungry for the rice he sent. He just picked up the water and drank it for two sips, then put it down again. He ignored the leftovers and leaned against the corner of the wall.

After eating and drinking, some civil and military officials had the strength to miss the past and felt sorry for their eyes, crying and sighing.

At night, the jailer didn't deliver food, and they were so hungry that they could not bear it, but the jailer still ignored it.

King Han was so hungry that he saw that Zheng Pi hadn’t eaten lunch yet. He swallowed his saliva and approached the iron railing and said to Zheng Pi, “My dear, I’m hungry…”

When Zheng Pi heard this, he didn't say anything. He brought the food and handed it to King Han, and sat upright on his side.

The Han King ignored the rest of the food. When the civil and military officials nearby saw it, they all looked greedy. Zheng Pi looked up and sneered, then lowered his head. He felt that these colleagues were shouting loudly, and none of them had the character.

'How could I, Zheng Pi, use these dog foods? I would rather starve to death than live like a wild dog.'

After eating something, King Han was able to fall asleep again.

That night, another jailer sent in. Zheng Pi saw that it was General Cheng.

It happened that the prison was already full, and Zheng Pi came in the earliest, and the prison guards were too lazy to walk around, so they simply locked General Cheng to the cell closest to the door, Zheng Pi.

When the two met, they felt very happy.

"Young Master!"

"Brother!" Zheng Pi couldn't help but burst into tears. He didn't expect that General Cheng would still be willing to call him that now. He was moved and could not help but press it heavily on General Cheng's shoulder.

Then I heard General Cheng talk about how to be defeated and captured alive.

Finally, General Cheng asked him in a low voice, "Many people have surrendered, what are the plans of the young master?"

Zheng Pi shook his head. "Brother, don't worry about me, you'd better surrender."

When General Cheng heard this, he said anxiously, "Don't the young master surrender?"

Zheng Pi looked up at him and said lightly, "You know my temperament. If you lose today, you will lose. It is absolutely impossible for me to surrender to the enemy who destroyed the country!"

"Young Master! Now that things have come to this point, why do you need to destroy Han Zhong?" General Cheng did not want to see him stubborn and quickly persuaded him.

Zheng Pi chuckled and said, "I'm not trying to destroy Han Jinzhong. I just want me to surrender to the enemy and it's really humiliating. Life is worse than death!"

When General Cheng heard him say this, he couldn't help but remember Zheng Pi's overly strong self-esteem. He was both moved and secretly admired his fearlessness. Thinking of the friendship between the two over the years, Zheng Pi has been treating him as always over the years. He has never looked down on him as a rough man just because he became the prime minister, and he couldn't help but feel passionate.

"Okay! Since the young master does not surrender, I will not surrender! I will die sooner or later. I often hear others say that a friend who is slashing his neck. Isn't my brother and I still considered this kind of friendship?"

Zheng Pi was quite surprised and very moved.

"You don't have to do this. I'm due to my temperament. I really can't stand this humiliation..."

"Stop talking about it, my intention is decided!"

Zheng Pi didn't say much, otherwise he would look down on him. He just felt that he had a brother who was willing to live and die in this life, and it would not be a waste of his life.

People are sent in every day.

At first, no one went out, but from the fifth day, someone was taken out to behead his head.

Zheng Pi was a little impressed when several civil servants and military generals who were in a mess in eating and drinking in prison were dragged out to behead their heads. Although those people could not bear the pain of hunger and thirst, they were still not afraid of death and kept scolding when they were dragged out. This showed their character as a loyal minister.

Starting from the sixth day, some people disappeared inexplicably at night.

On the evening of the seventh day, Zheng Pi knew why. It turned out that many people were afraid of surrendering, and were afraid that other people who were imprisoned would be scolded, so they threw things at night, causing noise to lead the prison guards in, and surrendered secretly and were released.

On the ninth day, someone was already openly surrendered during the day and was taken away. Before leaving, he was scolded by others, but his face remained unchanged and shouted, "It's not just me who surrendered! At least I'm open and honest, but the others secretly surrendered in the middle of the night..."

In this way, more surrenders were made on the tenth day.

There were many people who refused to surrender, but they couldn't help but their families bribed the prisoners one after another to visit and cried and persuaded them. They gradually turned against King Han in tears because of family affection and left the prison.

Death, and the whole world was left. In the end, there were only eight or nine people, including King Han, Zheng Pi, and General Cheng.

Seeing that the past was only a few of the ministers who had been around him who showed loyalty and courage every day, King Han felt that the past in his memory had become ridiculous with irony. At first, King Han did not have no complaints about Zheng Pi, but when he made the decision, he did not discuss with the ministers. When he heard others scolding Zheng Pi, he naturally did not complain. Besides, he became a prisoner and had no intention of complaining about others.

Later, when he saw Zheng Pi giving food and water to himself every day, he was only moved by his loyalty. He felt that he had not misunderstood his past, so why would he be willing to care about the unnecessary things now?

Now that everyone has left, only Zheng Pi, General Cheng and others are left, King Han can't help but sigh, "You are the only ones in the true loyal and righteous Qing family around me!"

Zheng Pi's mood had improved a lot at this time, but he still refused to eat.

General Cheng advised him for many days, but it was useless. Zheng Pi always said the same thing, "I, Zheng Pi, can starve to death, but I will never eat these things."

General Cheng knew that Zheng Pi was stubborn, but he was a warrior and had the courage to face it, but it was only in such a moment. But the long-term hunger was like bone-eroding torture, which lasted forever. He didn't care about the ugly things and took care of himself.
