stand back, let me come

Chapter 1499 1498: Finale (I) [Seeking monthly votes]

The Central Allied Forces have not had a good time recently.

The country suffered defeat in foreign wars and internal conflicts became increasingly fierce.

A roar was heard in the tent.

"Didn't you pat your chest and guarantee that that Shen guy would definitely fall? You confidently said that a locust plague could destroy people? What about now? Where is the locust plague? That Shen guy has even been reclaimed from the land!" The man who was roaring out of control at this moment happened to be the head of a large family who was fooled by the Central Allied Forces into giving up his local ancestral property and allowing the Central Allied Forces to plant locust eggs on the land under his name.

If the locust plague could be successfully controlled and the troops of Kangguo could be driven back, he could go back and recover his property. At most, he would lose a few years of farmland income. If he could get some compensation from some of the communities, it would not be a loss. But man proposes, God disposes. He lost both his plans this time. He first received a mysterious tip-off early in the morning, which told him that the locust eggs were poisonous and could pollute the farmland, leaving no grass. Before he could get angry, he received news that the shameless barbarians of Kangguo were starting to open up the wasteland.

The latter was like a slap in the face.

The beating made his head buzz.

"I didn't know that you guys were so useless that you let a useless woman run wild! While they were fighting with you, they still had the energy to open up wasteland, and they were opening up wasteland on my land. Ancestors, if you are unfilial, you can't even protect your ancestral graves..." Anger blinded his reason and made him act impulsively. He was angry one moment and wept the next. His ancestral graves were really dug up.

A man named Shen, with the reputation of being a pioneer, kept digging everywhere.

Things buried underground, not to mention human bones, even the smallest stones were sifted out, and he turned away with an innocent and kind look.

[Who allowed you to disturb the dead? ]

Shen Youli's words sounded better than her singing. She apologized and ordered the soldiers to bury the excavated bones back in the ground, but in fact, she took all the missing burial objects. As for the buried bones? We don't even know if they are original.

The generals who dug up his ancestral graves didn't even utter a word of rebuke.

Who would believe me if I say this wasn't intentional?

Who in the world doesn’t know that Shen Youli loves to make money from the dead?
"... she opened graves, exposed dead bones, plundered gold and jade for her own benefit, destroyed human bodies and ruined morals. Her crimes are too numerous to list!" Everyone in the tent waited for him to vent his emotions, then he twirled his beard and slowly started to talk nonsense, "Shen blasphemed heaven and earth, and blasphemed yin and yang. Even if she has great talent and strategy, she can't hide her greed and violence. She will be despised by gentlemen for thousands of years. It's her fault, why are you blaming us?"

"Just scolding Shen Youli to death?"

"Of course that's impossible, but——"

"But you're a piece of shit!"

"vulgar!"

"Okay, okay, you said that digging up the ancestral graves was Shen Youli's fault and you shouldn't be blamed. Then - can you tell me why those insect eggs are so poisonous? In five years, no, in ten years, I'm afraid that not a single blade of grass will grow! Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"

He had no objection to using the locust plague to deal with Kangguo.

If Kangguo withdraws its troops, he can at least keep his foundation.

What's the difference between having no grass grow for ten years and having no descendants?

He knew that the Central Division was ruthless, and that these people were ruthless, but he didn't expect them to be this ruthless! He regretted it so much. When Kangguo sent people to the Central Division camp to cause trouble and expose all those messy secrets, he should have known that he was courting death by following these people.

But he has some overflowing self-confidence.

Relying on his qualifications and background, he thought that even if he was not the one sitting at the table enjoying the food, he should not be the dish on the table. Turning around, he found that he was the menu! How could he accept this?

The expressions of the people in the tent changed subtly.

Some people didn't care at all, while others' pupils trembled.

"What do you mean?"

Which insect eggs are highly toxic?

What does it mean that there is no grass growing in ten years?
The two who raised doubts also retreated with the allied forces, transferred assets and clansmen, and abandoned the clan land and industry. They did not think that they could sit back and relax after defeating Kangguo. They also knew that the allied forces' current attitude was that they could not get any good out of it, nor could they let Kangguo take advantage. How could they live in peace when ancient diseases were used? But they never expected that the insect eggs had been tampered with.

Are the Allies deliberately hiding this from them?

The two of them shuddered in their hearts.

They looked up at Alliance Leader Zhao and opened their mouths to ask for an explanation, but they felt a sharp pain in their necks. As blood gushed out from the bowl-sized cut, the head of the big family who had been roaring and demanding responsibility was frightened and his heart skipped a beat. He was caught off guard and half of his body was sprayed with blood. His nose was filled with a strong smell of blood, and he was stunned for a moment, not even daring to breathe.

He took two steps back: "Zhao, Alliance Leader Zhao, what are you doing..."

Finally, he clearly realized that the people present were sick and mentally ill. And he himself was imprisoned and his life was in danger.

"Alliance Leader Zhao, aren't you afraid that the rulers of other countries will find out?" Facing Alliance Leader Zhao's cold eyes, he was sweating coldly while looking for a way to survive.

"So what if you know?"

He gasped sharply.

Yes, so what if I know?
The kings of the central countries are just ornaments in the hands of the central branch. The important officials of the courts of various countries either join the central branch to gain real benefits from it, or have a close relationship with the members of the branch and are completely driven by them. What kind of people are the members of the central branch? They always put their family first, themselves second, and the branch third, and have no respect for their own kings.

Who would submit to a stupid chess piece?
The royal power without any prestige is but a trembling insect in the hands of a child. It may look glorious, but it can be overthrown in a moment's thought.

Even though the allied forces suffered heavy losses, the kings of the various countries dared not even say a word, let alone hold them accountable. They might even ask the allied forces behind their backs whether they were short of food and supplies and whether they wanted to send more. Not to mention that the kings and the branch offices were in the same boat.

A secret regret arose in his heart.

I regret that I couldn't see clearly.

The kings of various countries are all chess pieces in the eyes of these people. Who in the world is not a chess piece in their eyes? They call themselves gods and use the people of the world as chess pieces to play chess. They are not pursuing any moral ideals or great undertakings, but simply because they feel bored.

He uses all human beings as chess pieces but cannot tolerate himself losing.

Arrogant, cruel, stupid and narcissistic.

It has long gone beyond the scope of normal people.

In an instant, the world became wider. It was as if he had seen the real world after the clouds had been cleared. His regrets turned from strands into a surging sea, drowning him and suffocating him. He had studied the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, studied the principles of state security, questioned the truth, and had a clear mind. He had also had the ambition to eliminate the injustices in the world. Why did he become so different today? He was wrong! He was so wrong!

All these plots are just to protect the old and the young and prosper the family.

What about now?
Putting the cart before the horse!

Sensing the killing intent of Alliance Leader Zhao, he knew that his life was doomed, so he simply threw himself at the risk, revealing his most ferocious face, and cursed: "You, you are doing evil things, you must not die a good death!"

With a thud, the head fell to the ground.

The three headless bodies were still warm.

Some onlookers felt grief for the dead and closed their eyes, while others laughed and mocked the three men for seeking death. A few soldiers came in and dragged the three bodies out, throwing them to feed the dogs, and their tribesmen naturally did not show any mercy.

Alliance Leader Zhao glanced at everyone slowly.

"Are you angry about this?"

How could anyone dare to say yes?

They all shook their heads in denial, and their true thoughts were unknown.

Alliance Leader Zhao was satisfied: "Do you know where Lin An is?"

During the retreat, Lin Su's whereabouts were unknown. Zhao ordered his men to dig deep underground to look for him, but they got a reply saying that Lin Su was crushed to death by a collapsed tunnel, and the body brought back was rotten and infested with maggots and difficult to identify. He believed this at first, but later thought about it and felt something was wrong.

How did the idiot who just died know the truth about insect eggs?

Lin Su is not someone who will die so easily. His literary skills also allow him to leak information without anyone noticing. Unfortunately, the subordinates' answers have not changed and there is no news about this person. Alliance Leader Zhao: "Then keep looking. Can he just disappear from the face of the earth?"

Evaporation?

That's impossible.

But he suspected that he would soon be wiped out of the world.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a reticulated dragon python as thick as a water tank, staring at him with its pupils. The man and the python were so close that he could even feel the latter's breath, and an indescribable gloom rushed straight to his head. Lin Su broke out in a cold sweat but did not dare to move at all.

The dragon python slid slowly around him.

Use its huge body to carve out a territory.

It coiled its body and approached with a condescending attitude. When they were closest, the man and the python were only half an arm away. The young man in Taoist robes was floating on the side, anxious, and wanted to roll up his sleeves to hold the python back: "Oh, are you stupid? Why don't you run?"

Lin Su: "..."

He wanted to run, but his instinct told him not to.

will die!

After a long while, just when he was wondering if the other party wanted to eat him to fill his hunger, the dragon python spoke in human language: "Male?"

He leaned a little closer: "Oh, I made a mistake."

Lin Su's hairs gradually smoothed out, and her heart returned to normal rhythm. The dragon python's ability to speak meant that it was not a strange beast lurking in the wilderness, but a totem form created by a brave warrior.

"Admit your mistake?"

The dragon python coiled up listlessly: "I thought it was Little Mama Lin." The periodic molting that happens two or three times a year has come. The Danfu martial energy is out of control, so he had to hide in the deep mountains and old forests and molt smoothly before coming out. After molting, he will be blind for six or seven days, and his vision will drop to zero in a very short time. Just now, I saw a blurry but familiar figure from a distance, so I went forward to recognize it. If I happen to meet Lin Feng, I can ask her to give me a ride.

As a result, "Lin Feng" didn't call him.

He felt something was very wrong.

When he got closer, he found that this person's figure was more masculine. Although he had a bit of Lin Feng's aura on him and his aura was somewhat similar to Lin Feng's, his gender was male: "What's your relationship with her?"

Lin Su wondered who this "Little Mama Lin" was.

It is most likely referring to his sister Lin Feng.

"You mean Lingde?"

"Ah."

"I am her second brother, Lin Su."

"No wonder..." The dragon python muttered a few words, and the giant python body melted into a tall figure by circulating its immature martial energy. It turned out to be a young warrior wearing a tight suit and half a set of martial armor. When Lin Su saw his attire, he immediately thought of someone.

"You are... Gong Xichou?"

It was indeed Gongxi Chou.

The young general's eyes were dull, as if he was blind.

No, why is he here?

Lin Su had studied the court of the King of Kang, so he naturally knew Gong Xichou was a strange person. In Lin Su's opinion, he and his low-key brother were two different species, and their behavior and personal style were incompatible with others. In the past two years, there was almost no news of Gong Xichou being active on the battlefield, and there was no unofficial history of Kangguo abandoning him. He didn't expect to meet him here.

Gong Xichou tilted his head slightly and listened: "Lin Su?"

The young general's voice was somewhat playful.

He naturally knew Lin Anzhi, and also knew that Lin Feng and Lin Su had fallen out, but he was not Lin Feng, and had no right to help Lin Feng clean up the mess. If the brother and sister really wanted to fight to the death, it would be up to Mama to kill her own brother: "What are you doing here sneaking around?"

Lin Su laughed: "Shouldn't I ask General Gongxi this question?"

He emphasized the pronunciation of the word "general".

Gong Xichou was reminded that as a military general of Kang State, he should normally be on standby in the central army instead of wandering around in the mountains.

Gong Xichou was puzzled: "Is your presence related to me?"

Lin Su actually came for me?

"...Of course not. Meeting the general was just a coincidence." Lin Su took a step back, fearing that Gong Xichou would kill him if he got upset. That would be too unfair. "What I mean is that I want to know why the general is so sneaky."

Gong Xichou was silent for a while.

Seriously ask: "I am shedding my skin here, are you too?"

Lin Su: "... This... is certainly not the case."

Gong Xichou is really weird, every word he says can choke people to death.

Little did he know that Gong Xichou was also secretly complaining about Lin Su's nonsense. After a few words, he could no longer see anything. After getting familiar with the darkness, he focused his attention and interrupted Lin Su impatiently: "Do you know where the troops of Kangguo are stationed?"

"...How can I know such a secret?"

"You are from the Central Allied Forces, how could you not know?"

Even if you don't know the exact location, you should at least know the general direction, right?

Lin Su was silenced again, and later realized that Gong Xichou was even more hypocritical than the rumors said, and his temperament exuded an unruly and wild nature.

Any normal person would not ask Lin Su where the Kangguo camp is when he knows that the enemy is hostile. Isn't this a complete lack of brains? If he asked where the Central Allied Army camp is, Lin Su would be willing to point the way. Gong Xichou did not give him a chance to refuse.

One hand around his throat.

Although it has not tightened, it carries an irresistible threat.

Lin Su cursed the reckless man inwardly and said anxiously, "Wait a minute!"

Gong Xichou tilted his head and chuckled: "Are you willing to tell me?"

"I'm pointing it out to you..."

"Take me there, sir."

Lin Su: "..."

Do you want to listen to yourself and see if what you say is human language?
Take Gongxichou to Kangguo camp? Walk into a trap? Why doesn't Gongxichou go by himself? Is he blind? Oh, no, Gongxichou is indeed blind now. Lin Su swallowed the dirty words and frowned. For the sake of his life, he had to choose to know the present situation.

Most of the military generals were reckless and killed people without blinking an eye.

Gong Xichou threatened calmly: "Don't try to play tricks on me. I may not be able to escape unscathed, but it won't be hard to kill you."

For a warrior of his strength, killing a scholar is no more difficult than killing a chicken. Lin Su can also test whether his weapon is sharp!

Lin Su cursed in her heart.

His face was calm: "Follow me."

The Kangguo army had just solved the problem of pests and poisons in the farmland when the Central Allied Forces took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. The two sides used a certain high ground as the battlefield. After the battle, most of the hilltops were flattened. The city that Shen Tang had conquered was almost deserted, and she was so angry that she led her troops to pursue them relentlessly. After two days and two nights, they finally intercepted the Allied Forces at a riverside. When the Allied Forces saw Shen Tang's big banner, their morale was in chaos, and they abandoned 70,000 to 80,000 refugees to cross the river.

For a while, the riverside was filled with wailing that shook the sky.

Many people jumped into the river trying to catch up with the Allied warships, and seven or eight drowned.

Because the refugees were blocking the way, Shen Tang had to give up the pursuit.

The waterways in the central region were not as complicated as those in the southwest, but they were not easy to travel either. Kangguo was fighting away from home, so it was easy for them to suffer from a lack of information. She had no choice but to suppress her anger and order the army to appease the refugees first. Those who could be persuaded to return to their hometowns were persuaded to return, and those who could not be persuaded to return were considered for another solution.

If we allow the refugees to flee, 80 to 90 percent of the 70,000 to 80,000 people will die.

The Allied forces in the central region had completely cleared the land, and there was not even a bit of green on the road. The land was desolate, and the refugees had no food and could only eat mud and dig tree roots to fill their stomachs. Of course, we also had to be wary of Allied spies who mixed in with the refugees to cause trouble, as these people had no bottom line.

"Do the Central Allied Forces think they're fighting an obstacle race? Fighting, running, and throwing things on the ground at the same time?" Shen Tang discovered that the Allied Forces' act of throwing refugees was more insidious than creating a locust plague. The locust plague might not necessarily cost Shen Tang a piece of meat, but the 70,000 to 80,000 refugees would actually eat her food.

Thanks to the Allied intimidation, the refugees initially took all the food and belongings they could carry with them, but in a hurry, the refugees were forced to throw things while running to reduce obstacles. When they reached the river, many refugees had little food left.

Refugees also steal and rob each other.

Among them, women, children, the elderly and the weak are the hardest hit.

Shen Tang couldn't just ignore them and was stopped in his tracks.

She took two water bags to cool down her temper. Jimo Qiu suddenly looked up in a certain direction and said, "Anian is back."

"Gong Xichou?" Upon hearing this name, Shen Tang suspected that he had heard it wrongly, "Didn't he get sent to support Zhai Xiaofang?"

The doctors of Xinglin guarded Kangguo, and the zombie epidemic failed to spread, but it didn't mean that this thing was a chicken. Zhai Xiaofang found a case of spreading infection near the battlefield. Even with the epidemic prevention work shared by Shen Tang, it is not so easy to copy it. Kangguo was nipped in the bud, and Quguo had already spread when it was discovered. No matter how careful you are, there are still fish that slip through the net.

It can never be completely extinguished.

If you're not careful, it will spread like a prairie fire.

The Qu Kingdom was held back and had to choose to blockade. A while ago, a message was sent to the incarnation Zixu to send people to help. The situation was a little out of control. It was not that the Qu Kingdom could not control it, but a large number of "people" suffering from the disease broke into the country from the northeastern continent.

The incarnation then sent Gong Xichou with 5,000 elite troops to provide assistance.

You shouldn't be here at all.

"Are you sure it was him?"

"I won't admit my mistake."

Shen Tang felt her head hurt again. Her intuition told her that Gong Xichou's presence here was not good news. She first communicated with her avatar Zixu, but found that Zixu didn't know the situation either: [Shouldn't he be in Quguo? Could it be that Quguo...]

I dare not say the remaining half sentence.

Incarnation Zixu: [Let me ask what's going on first. ]

Shen Tang: [Is there any movement in Qu State? ]

[Since Zhai Xiaofang sent a request for help last time, there has been no contact.]

Shen Tang pursed his lips, looked at the turbulent river rushing eastward, and suppressed the ominous premonition in his heart: [I'll go take a look. ]
