Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 620
Chapter 620 What Does It Have to Do with Me
As the Senior General spoke, two lines of tears began to slowly flow down his face!
The hundred thousand troops had followed him through life and death, but now, they were completely annihilated in the blink of an eye. This kind of blow was something that the Senior General could not withstand no matter what. In an instant, his hair turned white, and it was as if he had aged ten years in an instant!
The lieutenant general looked at the old general’s current appearance and was also filled with sorrow. His face was filled with sorrow as he said loudly, “Old general, you can’t think like this, can’t!”
The Senior General suddenly pushed the deputy away and said loudly, “You go, leave this place and flee far away. Never come back.” From afar, he saw a few figures moving in this direction. Right now, only the two of them were left in the hundred thousand troops. He could not let the deputy suffer an accident!
However, the lieutenant general was unwilling to leave alone. He had been pulling the Senior General, wanting to take him away with him.
However, the Senior General pushed him away again and took out the sword that he had always carried with him.
The treasured sword was unsheathed. The sharp sword light flashed with a cold light under the moonlight. The Senior General had a smile on his face as if he was looking at death. Then, he wanted to stab the treasured sword into his abdomen.
The lieutenant general was stunned by this scene. Only when the sword light reflected on his face did he react. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to snatch the sword from the veteran general. However, he was still somewhat far away from the veteran general. Clearly, it was already too late for him to run over.
Just as the sharp sword was about to pierce through the Senior General’s abdomen, a bright light suddenly flashed in front of the deputy general’s eyes. With a crisp “ding” sound, he saw the sword in the Senior General’s hand shattered into pieces. Only the hilt of the sword remained in his hand and was tightly gripped towards the Senior General’s abdomen.
The Senior General and the Lieutenant General looked at the hilt of the sword in his hand with astonishment. Neither of them knew what exactly had happened.
This treasured sword that was as sharp as mud was clearly in his hand, but why did it turn into powder in just an instant?
Right at this moment, a gentle voice sounded not far away. “Not bad, he’s a man!”
The Senior General and the Deputy General looked in the direction of the voice. Under the moonlight, they saw a man dressed in a moonlight robe walking towards them. This man had a slender figure, exquisite features, and a faint smile on his gentle face.
Behind the man was a group of men and women, each of whom had an undisguised look of shock on their faces.
The Senior General frowned as he looked at the man and woman who had suddenly appeared. He coldly said, “Who are you?”
“Rong Jin,” Rong Jin said calmly. His voice was still warm, making it impossible for anyone to recognize any abnormality in his voice.
However, the Senior General was slightly stunned. He looked in Rong Jin’s direction. So he was Rong Jin!
That frightening Swallow King!
However, the Senior General never expected that Rong Jin would have such a harmless appearance.
The Senior General had his lieutenant help him up and slightly cupped his hands in Rong Jin’s direction. Even if he lost, he still needed backbone. The Senior General said loudly, “It was you who set up this trap? Kill all of us here!”
Rong Jin only gave a faint kindness. There wasn’t any anger on his warm face. He just said calmly, “It’s me.”
“Why are you so despicable? This is a hundred thousand troops! A hundred thousand people! You actually killed all of them here …” The Senior General’s expression turned ugly when he heard Rong Jin admit that he was so calm.
Rong Jin’s gentle face still didn’t show any anger when he was criticized by the Senior General like this. However, his pair of dark and fantastic eyes had an undetectable surge.
After listening to Senior General’s series of accusations, he said calmly, “These 100,000 troops are all from your Eastern Jin Dynasty. What does it matter to me whether they live or die?”
The Senior General did not expect Rong Jin to say such a thing. His face was filled with anger, “You!” After he finished saying that word, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of dirty blood.
This time, it wasn’t just Veteran General Yuan who looked at Rong Jin angrily. Even the people behind him looked at Rong Jin in astonishment. They hadn’t recovered from the reaction when they saw the 100,000 strong army being annihilated.
However, Rong Jin did not stop his conversation just because the Senior General vomited blood.
His pair of black eyes swept faintly into the depths of the forest. When he saw the corpses and blood on the ground, he frowned and said, “The people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty burned our grain and attacked us in the middle of the night. If we hadn’t noticed it earlier, it would have been the people of Country of Xiyue. At that time, would the Senior General have said how many people died in Country of Xiyue?”
“There are 500,000 people stationed here in Country of Xiyue. These 500,000 people were caught off guard by your men. When the two armies meet, will you show mercy to the soldiers and horses of Country of Xiyue? At that time, I’m afraid all the casualties will not be 100,000, right?” Rong Jin’s voice was faint, without any ripples, but everyone’s hearts jumped when they heard it.
Indeed, if the two armies fought, it wouldn’t just be the death of these 100,000 people, right?
They now felt that Rong Jin had killed these 100,000 people in the blink of an eye. They felt that Rong Jin was cruel, but who would have thought that if the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty fought over, the number of casualties would definitely not be too optimistic once the war broke out.
If all the goals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were fulfilled today, the grain of the Western Yue would be burned, and the Western Yue army would become a mess. The soldiers of the Western Yue would only become lambs to be slaughtered, and at that time, the entire country would be lost.
Moreover, with Zhou Jingyan’s obstinate and arrogant personality, they would not be at ease ruling the country!
They could do without this world, but they had to hand over the people of this world to an emperor who would truly care for them!
The Senior General hadn’t thought of so many things before. Now that he heard Rong Jin speak about this matter in the most calm tone, he felt that his face was also extremely embarrassed.
Rong Jin was right. If the two armies were to start a war, the war would not end so quickly, and the number of dead and injured soldiers would not be so small.
At this moment, At the end, Zhou Jingxu signaled for the person who was pushing him to take a few steps forward. He sat in a wheelchair and looked like a ten-year-old Senior General. He said calmly, “General Yuan, it’s been hard on you today. Those 70,000 soldiers are only temporarily unconscious. They’re not dead. If you trust me, why don’t you come with me to the tent in Country of Xiyue?”
However, Zhou Jingxu’s words caused the surrounding people to be slightly stunned. Zhou Jingxu actually said that the people who fell into the pit were not dead? What the hell was going on?
The Senior General was also stunned. Previously, he had been crushed by the death of the last 70,000 troops and the last strand of his tense nerves. Only then did he go completely mad.
But now, Zhou Jingxu actually said that the lives of those 70,000 soldiers were still alive?
The Senior General’s expression was one of shock. He looked in Zhou Jingxu’s direction and frowned slightly, “Your Highness the Ninth Prince?” His Highness the Ninth Prince was the Crown Prince’s younger brother. What he said was definitely not false, but he still found it hard to believe.
Upon hearing Zhou Jingxu’s words, the lieutenant general on his side immediately ran towards the huge pit. Looking down from the pit, he saw the soldiers lying on the ground in all sorts of different positions. He looked over one by one and did not see any wounds on those people’s bodies.
However, those who were lying motionless made the lieutenant general frown slightly. However, upon seeing those people’s undulating chests, a wisp of joy appeared on the lieutenant general’s face. He quickly ran towards the direction of the elder general. As he ran, he said loudly, “General, general, they are not dead, they are still alive!” “These 100,000 troops are still alive!”
The lieutenant general’s words caused a smile to appear on the Senior General’s face. He looked at the lieutenant general who was running over and his eyes stiffened for a moment before he said loudly, “Are you saying that these 70,000 people are not dead? Are they really not dead?”
“Not dead, still alive! It’s just that for some reason, everyone seems to be asleep.” The deputy general’s voice still couldn’t conceal his joy.
The Senior General’s mind only kept responding to the words of the lieutenant general. The 70,000 plus people were still alive, and there was nothing else in his mind at this moment!
Only after he was shaken a few times did he rashly react and knelt respectfully in Rong Jin’s direction. “Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness Prince Yan.”
Rong Jin only replied calmly. The surge in his dark eyes slowly dissipated. “Don’t thank me, they will be better off alive than dead.” And now that he had a family, a wife and children, his heart unconsciously softened a little.
Although Rong Jin said this, the Senior General still respectfully nodded three times in Rong Jin’s direction before saying, “Your Highness, may I ask why those people fainted?”
“If you’re drugged, you’ll wake up in an hour,” Rong Jin said indifferently. When he had someone dig that hole, he had someone put a drug in it that could make you drowsy.
When those soldiers fell into the pit, all their emotions were replaced by panic. Naturally, they would not pay attention to the medicinal fragrance. The pit had been smoked with medicine earlier, so the medicinal smell was extremely rich. Once these soldiers fell, they could smell such a strong medicinal smell.
The medicinal properties of this medicine were very poisonous. As long as one smelled a little, they would fall into a coma.
Therefore, without going to check, they would mistakenly think that all of these people were dead because of the illusion they had before.
Speaking of which, it was still at the last moment that Rong Jin’s heart softened. Otherwise, what he put in would not be medicine that could make people unconscious.
