"Where is the Queen?"
"Where is the Privy Envoy Lian Jing?"
"Where are the Chu King's sons?"
"Where are the Chu King's concubines?"
Shen Lang's army had already sealed off a few palace gates.
On the square outside the palace, tens of thousands of people were kneeling neatly.
Most of them were eunuchs and palace maids, and some were warriors who had retreated to the palace.
But all the important members were missing.
Even the chief eunuchs were not seen.
Did they escape from the palace?
Or were they hiding in the secret underground chamber of the palace?
"Who is willing to answer me?" Shen Lang asked loudly.
The kneeling palace maids and eunuchs were shivering, and the warriors were gritting their teeth. Although they were looking at the ground, their eyes were filled with deep hatred.
Shen Lang: "Where is the Queen? Where is the Privy Envoy Lian Jing? Who can tell me? Even if you don't know! "
Still no one answered.
"If you want to kill, then kill. There is nothing to say." Suddenly, a voice roared.
"Whoosh …"
Before he could finish his sentence, an arrow pierced through his head.
Shen Lang's gaze fell on the palace maids and eunuchs.
Because the Chu King's concubines were likely to dress as palace maids, and the Chu King's sons were likely to dress as servants.
"This person, this person, this person …"
Shen Lang's finger pointed at the crowd, and then one by one, the Nirvana soldiers rushed into the crowd and grabbed them.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? We are just little palace maids! "These beautiful women shouted.
Shen Lang said, "How can a palace maid have such good skin, as plump as a cream? And palace maids even carry gems and pearls? "
These women were either the Chu King's concubines or the Chu King's daughters.
"That kid, that, that, grab them all …"
Following Shen Lang's order, six young eunuchs were dragged out.
Eunuchs had d * ck? If this was not the Chu King's son, then what was he?
Under Shen Lang's fiery eyes, all the nobles mixed among the palace maids and eunuchs were dragged out.
But there was no key person.
"Tell me, did the queen escape?" Shen Lang squatted in front of a concubine and asked.
The woman trembled and shook her head, "No, I don't know, I really don't know."
She really didn't know.
This time, Shenlang didn't just want to take over the capital. More importantly, he wanted to capture the Queen of Chu and the rest.
In this way, he could use this group of people as hostages and easily leave Chu.
His army did not want to leave through the Thousand Li Great Snow Mountain.
However, if he wanted to leave normally, he would definitely be surrounded and intercepted by the Chu army.
Now that he had successfully conquered the capital of Chu, he didn't want to fight any more battles.
Furthermore, only by capturing the Chu King and putting it on display would they be able to maximize the effects of this victory.
He asked several people, but none of them knew where the Queen was.
And it didn't seem like he was lying.
The Queen of Chu was ruthless and not very popular. Many people in the palace secretly hated her.
Therefore, her whereabouts were hidden from almost everyone.
Shen Lang had checked with X-rays and found that there were three secret passages leading to the outside of the palace. He had already sent people to block the exits of these secret passages, but he didn't find the Queen of Chu and the rest.
"The Queen has been burned to death. She won't surrender." Suddenly, a warrior shouted, "You want to catch the Queen? In your dreams."
"Swoosh …"
Another arrow was shot and pierced through his head.
Shen Lang sneered. You said that Ning Yuanxian and Concubine Bian would commit suicide. I believe you.
Would a woman like the Queen of Chu commit suicide?
How could it be possible?
Okay, Shen Lang almost understood.
"Kill everyone except the palace maids and eunuchs!"
He gave the order.
The godly archers of the Second Nirvana Army and the Sand Barbaric Tribe drew their bows.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …"
It was a precise kill.
The last batch of warriors in the capital of Chu were all killed. There were two or three thousand of them.
They wanted to resist, but before they could rush out, they were immediately shot in the head by the arrows.
Next, Shen Lang would rely on this army of less than ten thousand soldiers to control the entire capital.
He could not be soft-hearted or leave any hidden dangers.
Then, Shen Lang said to the palace maids and eunuchs present, "Find a place to hide. But remember, do not appear on the four main roads. Otherwise, you will be killed!"
"Thank you, Young Master! Thank you!"
Thousands of palace maids and eunuchs fled.
Shen Lang ordered, "Leave five hundred soldiers of the Second Nirvana Army. The rest will defend the city wall with the Third Nirvana Army. Later, the armies of Chu will come to support the capital! This is probably the best opportunity to kill. "
"Yes!"
The Second Nirvana Army had two thousand and five hundred soldiers, and Queen Sharman had more than four thousand soldiers. They left the square of the palace and headed for the city wall.
Shen Lang led two thousand soldiers of the First Nirvana Army and continued to besiege the palace, waiting for the fire to be extinguished.
He wanted to know if the fire in the palace would be extinguished sooner or if the first reinforcement of Chu would arrive sooner!
… …
The facts proved that.
The materials used to build the Chu palace were very good. The wood was so good that the fire did not extinguish even after burning for a day and a night.
Shen Lang watched as the palaces collapsed one by one.
It was really sinful.
Back when Xiangyu burned down Epang Palace, he did not know how he felt.
However, at the very least, Shen Lang did not feel much joy.
Of course, he did not feel much regret.
The flames that filled the entire palace gradually died down, turning into thick smoke that soared into the sky.
It could be seen clearly from hundreds of miles away.
At first, there were people who tried to put out the fire, but they gave up as soon as they appeared.
About twenty hours later!
The first reinforcement of Chu arrived. There were about twenty thousand soldiers.
This person was Chen Shen, the governor of Yan County.
Looking up, he saw a big "Ning" hanging on the wall of the capital.
The governor of Chu could not believe it.
When he learned that the army of the State of Yue was attacking the capital, he immediately gathered all the soldiers in the county to support them. After traveling day and night, he finally arrived.
He thought that he could cooperate with the guards in the capital and completely annihilate the army of the State of Yue.
Who would have thought that the capital had already fallen.
How … How was this possible?
The entire capital had tens of thousands of soldiers!
According to the reports, Shen Lang and Ning Zheng had sent less than ten thousand soldiers to attack the capital.
It had only been two days, and it had already fallen?
The capital was one of the strongest cities in the world. Under normal circumstances, without a hundred thousand soldiers, one would not even have the courage to attack.
What kind of heaven-defying methods did Shen Lang have? With less than ten thousand soldiers, he managed to take it down in a day?
Following that, the governor looked at the Yue army on the city walls. There were only about six thousand of them.
He suppressed the thought of attacking.
He did not negotiate, instead sending knights to report to the king.
He did not leave, instead leading his twenty thousand soldiers to surround a corner of the city walls, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
… …
The fire in the Chu palace burned for two days and two nights, before it finally died down.
The originally beautiful palace had been completely reduced to ruins.
Most of the palaces had collapsed.
In this era, most of the palaces were made of wood, especially the pillars and beams.
Now, all that was left was the black rubble.
This palace had over 300 years of history, and the successive kings had expanded it to such a scale.
How much money had been spent to build this palace?
It was impossible to calculate, but it was definitely an astronomical figure.
If they wanted to build a palace that was exactly the same, even with Chu's resources, it would take at least a few decades.
Hence, this fire from Shen Lang was enough to cause the entire Chu to vomit blood.
More importantly, it was a devastating blow to Chu's reputation.
… … …
Shen Lang led the First Nirvana Army into the palace to search.
Based on his judgement, the Chu Queen, a few princes, the important concubines, as well as the Secret Envoy Lian Jing were still in the palace.
Because the Chu royal capital had fallen too quickly and too suddenly, these people had not been able to escape in time.
Hence, they could only be in the underground chambers.
And if Shen Lang did not guess wrongly, these chambers should be under the pond.
When the fire burned the entire palace, there would be a lot of deadly smoke, and it would also cause a lack of oxygen. The deadliest thing was that once the smoke entered the underground chambers, the people inside would choke to death.
Hence, building the chambers under the pond would increase their chances of survival.
If it were anyone else, trying to find the entrance to the underground chambers in this wasteland would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But Shen Lang had X-ray vision.
Just an hour later!
He found it.
This chamber was indeed near the pond, and there was even an underground sewer around it.
The entrance was in a pile of rubble.
Li Qianqiu and Ku Tou Huan went forward to investigate.
"Young master, the entrance is a thick metal door!"
The thermite came in handy again.
He stuck it on the metal door and ignited it.
"Boom … …"
There was a dazzling white light.
The thermite emitted an astonishing temperature, burning through the thick metal door.
Then, a series of exclamations came from the underground chambers.
Li Qianqiu could clearly feel a killing intent.
Moreover, it was a grandmaster guarding the entrance to the underground chambers.
This was very normal. The State of Yue had grandmasters guarding the palace, and so did the Chu Royal Palace.
Moreover, this entrance was narrow, and it could be said that one man could hold the pass against ten thousand people.
With a grandmaster guarding there, there were probably no more than a few hundred or a few thousand people.
However, Shen Lang didn't say anything.
He directly threw a gas bomb in.
Of course, the so-called gas bomb wasn't a real biological weapon.
Its effect was even inferior to tear gas. It contained most of the refined chili powder, as well as some highly irritating gases.
But what kind of people were inside the chambers?
The Chu Queen, a few favored concubines, and a few princes and princesses.
What a pampered life.
These two days and two nights, they were already extremely terrified and almost couldn't breathe.
Shen Lang's homemade tear gas bomb exploded.
The intense stimulation was completely unbearable.
They couldn't open their eyes, as if they were completely burned, and they were going blind.
Their throats were burning, and they couldn't breathe at all.
It was really like a hellish torture.
"Ah … Ah … Ah …"
A series of ghostly wails and wolf howls could be heard.
Shen Lang said calmly, "Queen Chu, are you going to continue staying inside, or are you going to come out and surrender?"
However, the Chu Queen could no longer make a sound.
After a long while, the Chu Queen said in a hoarse voice, "Ning Zheng, Shen Lang, aren't you afraid of angering the gods? How could you do such a heinous thing? "
Immediately, Shen Lang threw another poison gas bomb into it without saying a word.
"Ah … Ah … Ah …"
"We're going to die, we're going to die. We surrender, don't throw it anymore …"
The one screaming was not the Chu Queen, but another woman's voice, as well as the wailing of a young man.
Fifteen minutes later!
Everyone in the secret room came out.
Shen Lang saw an old eunuch. His eyes were red and swollen like peaches, but he was still protecting his master.
This stance reminded Shen Lang of Li Mu, who was by Ning Yuanxian's side.
This old eunuch was also a Guru level expert.
Shen Lang took out a bottle and said, "Eunuch, you are a Guru level expert. We are worried, so please drink this bottle of medicine. You will be fine after a few days of sleep. I don't want to sever your tendons."
The old eunuch trembled, and hesitated.
Shen Lang raised his hand. Instantly, hundreds of arrows were aimed at the Chu Queen and the princes.
As long as this Guru level eunuch said no, Shen Lang would immediately shoot these Chu nobles into hedgehogs.
The old eunuch glanced at Shen Lang.
His gaze was very complicated, but there was not much hatred.
"Alas!"
After a sigh.
He drank the small bottle of medicine given by Shen Lang.
Then.
He fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
He would not wake up for the next few days and nights.
The Chu Queen's eyes were even more swollen. She looked at Shen Lang with grief and anger.
There was even a deep-seated hatred.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shen Lang asked.
The Chu Queen said coldly, "Shen Lang, you will suffer retribution. But it is not the retribution of God, but the retribution of the whole world to you. From today onwards, you are the mortal enemy of Chu, the mortal enemy for all eternity. "
"Really? I am so scared … "Shen Lang said," If I were you, I would shut up and be a captive. Isn't it good? "
Shen Lang waved his hand.
Immediately, two warriors stepped forward and grabbed the Chu Queen's hands.
"What do you want to do? I am the Chu Queen. What do you want to do? "The Chu Queen screamed crazily.
Shen Lang took out a syringe.
It directly pierced into the Chu Queen's inguinal lymph, and then injected all the liquid inside.
The Chu Queen screamed in fear, "Shen Lang, what did you inject me with? What did you inject? "
"You will know in a few days." Shen Lang said, "This is a punishment for your insolent words just now. If you continue to grumble, I guarantee that you will suffer a fate worse than death. Don't force me to give you ten liters of shit and become a captive, alright?"
The Chu Queen shuddered.
"I am asking you, can you do it?" Shen Lang asked.
The Chu Queen nodded.
"I don't want you to nod, I want you to answer, alright?" Shen Lang said coldly.
"Yes, yes!" The Chu Queen cried.
She had never suffered such humiliation.
But she was far from being as proud and brave as she imagined.
At this moment, what ruled her mind was still fear.
"Alright, let's go on a parade." Shen Lang said, "Prepare a carriage and load the Chu Queen, the princes, and the consorts onto it. Start walking around the streets of the Chu royal capital. Make sure that everyone can see clearly that this is their queen."
Next!
An even more humiliating scene happened.
The Chu Queen and all the other nobles, wearing golden paper shackles, stood on the carriage and paraded the streets.
"Everyone, come and see. This is the Chu Queen, these are the consorts, and these are the sons of the Chu King."
"The Chu Royal Family Exhibition …"
"Citizens of the Chu royal capital, quickly come and see your queen!"
Countless citizens swarmed out to see.
The first thing they felt was great humiliation.
Then disappointment!
Why did these high and mighty royalty not commit suicide?
Why were they not willing to die to preserve the dignity of the Chu Kingdom, but to be humiliated by the State of Yue?
And the Chu Queen, how high and mighty was she usually, how motherly was she?
At this moment, she was in such a sorry state, her face covered in tears and her body trembling.
And there was a wet stain in the middle of her skirt.
She was so scared that she peed her pants?
That was not true. It was Shen Lang who had ordered people to pour it on her.
For a whole few hours!
The parade was over.
The countless citizens of the Chu royal capital saw it clearly.
Countless people were furious, countless people were crying.
But the image of the royal family in their hearts collapsed almost instantly.
… …
Three days later!
Below the Chu royal capital, the Chu army was densely packed.
All the reinforcements from the surrounding cities and commanderies had arrived. There were sixty to seventy thousand of them.
But almost all of them were local garrison troops.
There were less than twenty thousand true elites in the frontline.
The sun had just risen this day.
The reinforcements of the Chu Kingdom outside the city were shocked to see such a scene.
Their Chu Queen appeared on top of the city wall, her expression haggard and terrified.
Because the virus in her body seemed to be acting up?
Her body was covered with herpes, especially in the damp corners.
And on her back, stomach, arms.
It was so densely packed that it was terrifying.
That kind of pain and numbness seemed to come from the cracks in her bones.
She could not sleep for a few days, and all her willpower and pride were completely destroyed.
She was so haggard and miserable that she did not look like the high and mighty Chu Queen.
"Ning Zheng, Shen Lang, you are despicable, despicable …"
"Shen Lang, if you have the guts, why don't you fight us with swords and spears? What kind of hero would the queen and princes be used as hostages? "
"Shen Lang, you lowly bastard, how dare you use women as hostages?"
The reinforcements of the Chu Kingdom below the city wall cursed.
Shen Lang sneered, "First, I am not a hero. Second, I have no intention of using the Chu Queen as a hostage to force you to surrender. I just want you to see what the Queen looks like now. Have you seen it clearly? Have you seen it clearly? "
"Have you seen it clearly?"
"I think so."
Shen Lang said, "Take the Queen away!"
The Chu Queen was taken away.
Shen Lang said to the reinforcements of the Chu Kingdom below, "Didn't you say you want to fight with swords and spears? You can start now! "
"Come on, come on, come on!"
His contemptuous look completely infuriated the reinforcements of the Chu Kingdom.
"Attack the city! Kill all the people of the State of Yue and save the Queen and the prince! "the reinforcements of the Chu Kingdom roared.
Then, sixty to seventy thousand Chu soldiers attacked the city!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …"
The second Nirvana Army, the sharpshooters of the Sand Barbaric Tribe shot arrows.
It felt so good to look down on them!
It was another one-sided massacre!
Four hours later!
The battle was over!
More than twenty thousand of the reinforcements of the Chu Kingdom had died. The rest had all fled.
Shen Lang shouted from the top of the city wall, "My lords, remember to come again! Call all the reinforcements here. I will not leave. I will wait for you here! "
"The Queen of Chu will not leave either. You must remember to come again. Next time, bring a hundred thousand soldiers with you!"
After hearing Shen Lang's words, the reinforcements of the Chu Kingdom and a few prefectures who had fled felt so ashamed that they wanted to die.
Then, no more reinforcements would come.
The strongest army of the entire Chu Kingdom was at the frontline, under the command of the King of Chu.
How would the King of Chu react when he hears this grievous news?
What kind of decree would he give?
… …
