"Speed up! Catch up from behind! We must cross the mountain tonight!" The commander and soldiers were shouting loudly on both sides of the troop train, while the hastening soldiers rushed forward with their heads down.

  Under the command of General Lan Yu, 50,000 elite soldiers were getting closer and closer to Kunming City. With his proud and arrogant personality, Lan Yu had already made a deal with Mu Ying to take the city first, so he was confident that he could capture Kunming City, which would be the achievement he wanted to establish.

  "General! Our army only needs to cross this mountain in front of us and Kunming will be within reach. According to the scouts who went ahead, the gates of Kunming City are now tightly closed with strict defense measures in place. I think our army should first head to Songming Prefecture to regroup before considering attacking the city." A deputy general bowed his hands and offered his opinion.

  "No! My mind is made up! The military speed will not change, I want to see the walls of Kunming tomorrow!" Blue Jade said expressionlessly. The long-distance rush was for Kunming City, and this rest would give the enemy a chance to breathe. They had killed and captured many Yuan soldiers along the way, but there was no sign of Prince Liang. Blue Jade was always worried that Prince Liang would reach Kunming before him, which would be troublesome.

  Although he didn't care about Liang Wang's head, after all, he was the highest commander of the Kunming Yuan army. If he took the initiative to reorganize the troops, then this Kunming city would not be easy to attack. The opportunity for a surprise attack that they had obtained would be wasted in vain. Therefore, they must hurry to Kunming City, even if Liang Wang had already entered the city, they still had to disrupt his chance to regroup.

  At this time, the exhausted Liang Wang was fleeing with only a few people left, including Ha Duo. The others had either run away or been swept away by the chaotic army and dispersed. Now, even eating became a problem for Liang Wang.

  When did the beautiful ladies sing and dance, and the great King Liang of Yuan held them in his arms? Now, at this moment, he is like a tattered beggar sitting on a green stone, staring silently at the charred rabbit meat in his hand. He misses the fine clothes and food of the past, and the beautiful wine and delicacies of just a few days ago, but all those are now impossible to attain.

  "Master Wang, just make do with it, the craftsmanship is not fine but now there's only this to eat." Ha Duo looked at that half piece of charred rabbit meat and swallowed his saliva. The three of them could only share the remaining bit of rabbit meat, which was their first meat in days. Although it was burnt and unappetizing, it was still a delicacy in Ha Duo's eyes. To think that previously they had nothing to eat, and wild herbs were considered filling food. Today, being able to catch a scrawny wild rabbit was already a great stroke of luck.

  "Alas..." King Liang sighed helplessly and handed the meat in his hand to Hado. "I can't eat anymore, so I'll give this meat to you as a reward."

  “Th...” Ha hesitated and didn't dare to move forward, who knew whether the moody King Liang was telling the truth or not. What if he was punished instead? However, his eyes were fixed on the rabbit meat with a shining gaze of desire.

  "Here, here! I've given you an order, what are you afraid of? Quickly take it and eat it!" Liang Wang disdainfully threw the meat on the ground, with a face full of impatience. If it weren't for the current situation still requiring them to escort him back to Kunming, just this charred rabbit meat would be enough to punish Ha Duo for his disrespect.

  At this time, Ha didn't care about anything else. Seeing the meat fall to the ground and hearing Liang Wang's words, he couldn't help but rush over, pick up the rabbit meat, carefully clean off the dirt and grass clippings on top, use a small knife to divide it into three equal portions, and then call over two of his subordinates to come and share the rabbit meat together.

  Can't help but say that Ha Duo is still a good boss, if it were someone else, they would have taken all the meat for themselves by now, and wouldn't be sharing the little food they had with their subordinates like he did.

  "Halt! I ask you, where are we now? How far is the road from my Kunming City?" King Liang kicked Haduo and said.

  "Wu... reporting to the king... calculating our pace, we are not far from Kunming City now. If we rush through the night, we should be able to arrive in Kunming by dawn tomorrow..." Ha Duo wolfed down his share of meat, and Liang Wang's sudden movement almost choked him to death.

  "What are you waiting for! Hurry up and get going! You three fools, what are you squatting on the ground eating? Quickly take me back to Kunming! Once we arrive at the palace, do you still need to eat that broken rabbit meat? There's even roasted lamb to eat." As soon as Liang Wang heard that Kunming was so close, he couldn't wait any longer and urged the three of them to set off quickly.

  Three people who had just been eating charred rabbit meat heard the roasted mutton and involuntarily drooled, they were clearly unable to withstand this temptation after many days of hunger and cold, Hado hurriedly clapped his hands to signal everyone to set off, and Liang Wang was also carried along by the crowd.

  These days, Liang Wang has been walking with the support of others, and it's not that his legs have any problems, he's just scared. After almost being shot dead by a Ming army arrow while escaping, Liang Wang's legs turned soft as soon as they touched the ground. He had no choice but to find someone to support him on the road, which is also why two of his guards haven't dispersed yet.

  But Ha Duo was also a bit puzzled at this time, just now it was clearly the king himself who said he wanted to take a break and have a meal, why did he scold the three of them as fools, really can't figure it out...

  "General! Ahead is the city of Kunming! Should we take a short rest before attacking?" The deputy general, who had been traveling continuously, rode up to Lan Yu's side.

  "Alright! Give the army a time to rest and recover, then we'll attack Kunming City with our soldiers at their best. I must take down this city!" Lan Yu nodded in agreement with his deputy general's proposal. The continuous march had indeed taken a toll on his soldiers, so it was just as well that they were resting here to regain their strength. After a while, when the battle began, he believed that even if Prince Liang had already entered Kunming City, he would not be able to stop him.

  The fact is just as Lan Yu thought, Liang Wang has just entered Kunming City at this time, but the difference lies in that Liang Wang simply does not have the ability to reorganize his troops to defend the city. He is already satisfied with being able to keep the knife from coming down on his neck.

  "Right... Right Chancellor... What do you mean by this? Are you planning to rebel and establish yourself as the ruler? When has our king ever treated you unfairly, that you would treat our king like this?"

  Liang Wang was trembling with fear, not daring to move. At this moment, he was facing his own Right Chancellor Guanyinbao, while the three of them were lying on the ground motionless. If they turned over and took a look, they would find that the three of them had already stopped breathing.

  The current situation made Liang Wang unable to understand why things were happening this way. First, he was captured after entering the city and arriving at the palace, then his subordinates were killed, and he himself had a knife held to his throat by the very person he trusted most, Guanyinbao...
