The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 729 The Grand Finale (5)
"Explore again."

Xiao Jintian said, the spies immediately retreated outside.

Mu Zhaoming said with a smile: "Half a month ago, it seemed that Murong Sheng was going to fight with his back."

Nangong Xintian sighed softly: "Although it is the mantis blocking the car, he is overconfident, but the clan master admires his courage." It's a pity that Murong Tongtian was too suspicious.

"In this case, the army will march towards Miancheng immediately, let's prepare to attack the city. I have already heard the excited breathing of the Gorefiend Legion." Xiao Jintian's eyes flashed with lust.

Blood Demon Legion, what is that? Nangong Xintian looked at Xiao Jintian puzzled.

Seeing his expression, Mu Zhaoming said calmly: "The dead soldiers who fought against you that day are the blood demon army trained by His Majesty Emperor Shang himself." Glancing at Xiao Jintian, he said with a faint smile: "But, always He is the commander."

Xiao Jintian showed a hearty smile when he was the Emperor of Heaven, and said boldly: "That was their first appearance, isn't it amazing?"

Nangong Xintian nodded dumbly. He was indeed amazed. He never thought that Fan Fengliu had such a trump card in his hand, the Blood Demon Legion. When the news spread to Cangdu, he didn't know what kind of storm would be caused.

Thinking back to the contest that day, the lethality of the Gorefiend Legion was absolutely top-notch in group combat.

It's just that Fan Fengliu, who is in charge of all this, is even more amazing with his ability. He can make two emperor-level figures submit to him, plus their ancient family, this ancient family.

Xiao Jintian didn't take it seriously, no one would know that the Xiao family's royal family was actually just the Fan family's royal family, a move buried in the Eastern Region hundreds of years ago.

And only Mu Zhaoming, Fan Fengliu, and the old ancestor Mingjing knew about this matter. Even his own father didn't know about it, and he only found out about it recently.

The Eastern Territory was able to unify and establish an imperial dynasty, not only because of their contributions, but also because of the role of Fanshi.

If they hadn't kept the sky in check and attracted most of the attention of the people in the world, it would be impossible for the affairs in the Eastern Region to escape the eyes of the Emperor of the Sky.

At the beginning, I was a little unwilling, but after getting in touch with Fan Fengliu, I found that everything was worth it.

Just as Nangong Xintian expected, the news about the Gorefiend Legion spread to Miancheng along with the previous part, and then spread back to Cangdu from Miancheng.

Both Murong Tongtian and Murong Sheng's father and son had a lot of headaches because of this matter. The morale of the army and the people were lost again and again.

At the court meeting, there was a proposal for the Qiu family to come forward.

Qiu Xun said coldly: "The duty of the Qiu family is to protect the safety of the royal family." He directly rejected the courtiers' proposal.

In Miancheng, Murong Sheng's approach was more direct, ordering people to find out a group of soldiers who often talked about the Gorefiend Legion in the army, and they were all cut up and executed on the grounds of spreading rumors and disturbing the morale of the army.

Then call out a group of dead soldiers that I have secretly trained over the years, and make a small appearance in the army, and the panic-stricken military spirit gradually stabilized.

It's just that he didn't expect this move to cause Murong Tongtian's suspicion, and immediately ordered to withdraw 200 million troops and put all members of the Chu family under house arrest.

The 500 million army suddenly wanted to withdraw 200 million. It was undoubtedly a thunderbolt against the defenders of Miancheng, and there was another commotion in the army for a while.

Murong Sheng stood upstairs, looking at the desolate scenery outside the city, his heart was also desolate.

Turning back to the guards, he said: "Go and invite the old marshal over, and say that this king has something important to discuss with him."

A moment later, Marshal Chu, known as the soul of the army, appeared on the tower.

Although he is seventy years old, but because of his burly figure, ruddy complexion, and vigorous steps, his majesty remains the same as before.

Without waiting for him to salute, Murong Sheng knelt down in front of him, and said with guilt on his face: "Grandpa, it's Sheng'er who has troubled your old man and the Chu family." Father is really cruel, since he listened to Murong Wuji's words, grandfather He is already 70 years old, but he is still required to go out to march and fight.

Old Marshal Chu did not avoid Murong Sheng's courtesy, and after listening to his words, he stretched out his hand to support Murong Sheng and said, "I can't blame you, maybe it's God's will." Heart, a pair of eyes that know people.

"Cheng'er, I asked someone to invite my grandfather, but it's because of His Majesty's withdrawal of two hundred troops." Old Marshal Chu's eyes were sharp even though he was old.

Murong Sheng was silent for a while, expressing his acquiescence, and then said calmly after a while: "Grandson is going to let uncle retreat, everything has been arranged for grandson, and His Majesty will not embarrass the Chu family when the time comes."

As if he had already guessed what Murong Sheng was thinking, Old Marshal Chu patted Murong Sheng on the shoulder: "Is it worth it? And if you escape one calamity, there will be another calamity."

The armies of the two dynasties were marching towards them immediately. Once Miancheng was broken and the rear was lost, death was still inevitable.

Murong Sheng said indifferently: "Grandpa don't need to worry too much, uncle and the others will be fine."

Fan Fengliu, Mu Zhaoming, and Xiao Jintian are different from their father, they are real emperors, they know how to govern the world, and they know how to buy people's loyalty.

Just a few days after the grandparents and grandchildren discussed secretly, the 200 million troops to be drawn away were determined by lottery, and the 50 troops in the hands of Murong Sheng's uncle, General Chu, were lucky enough to be drawn.

The remaining 150 million troops fell on those who had withdrawn from the front lines, and withdrew three days before the Dazhen army launched an offensive.

In front of the city gate leading to Cangdu, General Chu looked at Murong Sheng and Old Marshal Chu who came to see him off, and reluctantly said: "Father, lord, take care."

He once tried to persuade Murong Sheng to stay instead and let his old father go back, but he was mercilessly rejected.

Murong Sheng looked at the marching team, and guessed that when his uncle returned to Cangdu, the battle report from Miancheng had already been sent to Cangdu.

He said in a calm tone: "I have a gift here, I hope my uncle can deliver it to my father personally." I hope that the content of the battle report and this gift can be exchanged for the safety of the Chu family.

Looking at Murong Sheng who looked expectant, although General Chu was angry that he rejected his request, he still took the box in his hand, and said coldly: "Your grandfather is getting old, you have to take good care of him, otherwise you will be killed." It's pretty." It's a pity that he doesn't know, Murong Sheng will never see it.

The news of Miancheng's withdrawal of 200 million troops spread to Tongcheng immediately, and Xiao Jintian immediately clapped the case and applauded it.

However, Mu Zhaoming was surprised by Murong Tongtian's decision. Miancheng is the enemy's last line of defense, and he should concentrate all his strength to defend it. Why did he withdraw nearly half of the army here?
He said lightly, "Could it be fraudulent?"

Xiao Jintian said disapprovingly: "You are overthinking. There are only 300 million troops left in Miancheng, and Murong Sheng can't play tricks."
