Chapter 290 Extreme joy leads to sorrow
Gumo City.

"Dry!"

"drink."

"Your Majesty, please."

……

Gumo City, which was once used by the Qin army as a stepping stone to establish itself in the Western Regions, was not greatly affected by the war between the Qin army and the Jingjue Kingdom. On the contrary, after the Qin army retreated, the King of Gumo immediately knelt at the feet of the Queen of Jingjue and declared that Gumo was willing to be loyal to Jingjue forever.

Although the Queen of Jingjue won, she did not have the extra power to control Gumo. Therefore, after looting, she was satisfied and led her army back to Jingjue City. Although the Qin army was defeated by Jingjue, in the eyes of Gumo people, it was still a rare victory.

On this day, Gumo City was immersed in a sea of ​​joy, with lanterns hanging high. The palace, which was insignificant in the Central Plains but was considered a luxurious building in the Western Desert, was hung with red silk. As night fell, the hanging lanterns were lit, releasing dim lights, creating an ambiguous atmosphere for Gumo City.

A group of Gumo high-ranking officials, led by the King of Gumo, left their magnificent mansion and wandered through the streets and alleys of Gumo City. Looking around, there were wine jars everywhere in Gumo City, no one was taking care of them, and people were allowed to drink from them. Almost everyone was holding a jar of wine that had not been cleaned out of the lees. The rich aroma of wine filled the air, making it a veritable "wine doesn't make people drunk, but people get drunk by themselves"!
"Everyone."

King Gumo, who had a full beard, a high nose and deep eyes, and was obviously not from Middle-earth, walked around Gumo City with his son, Prince Gumo, and a group of his most trusted ministers, and then returned to the square in front of the palace.

Bonfires were lit on the gravel-paved square, and cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock were gutted and roasted over the bonfires, making the palace square filled with the aroma of meat and wine, creating a peaceful and happy land.

King Gumo stood on the steps in front of the palace, overlooking the people in the square. He spoke Gumo, his mother tongue, raised the jar of wine in his hand and gestured to everyone.

No matter how servile and submissive the King of Gumo was in front of the powerful Qin army and the strange Jingjue, he always had supreme authority in Gumo. As soon as he opened his mouth, the noise in the square disappeared, and everyone turned their heads to face the King of Gumo.

"Today is the annual wine festival of Gumo! Hundreds of years ago, Gumo was invaded by a powerful enemy and the situation was critical. The king at that time heard that the enemy liked to drink, so he collected all the wine in Gumo and gave it to the enemy. The enemy was drunk in front of the massive amount of wine. At this time, the army of Gumo rushed out of the city and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop."

King Gumo's dark eyes flashed with faint reminiscence, narrating the ancient history.

"To thank the wine, from then on, my Gumo has designated the day of defeating the enemy as the Wine Festival, and we celebrate it every year on this day." After telling the origin of wine and Gumo, King Gumo changed the subject, his tone filled with endless pride, "A few months ago, my Gumo successfully repelled the Qin people who wanted to occupy our ancestral land."

"At that time, my son suggested to me that we should designate that day as a festival." At this point, King Gumo paused and looked at his son, Prince Gumo, who looked embarrassed and lowered his head. "But I rejected it."

"I think that instead of setting up another festival, it would be better to hold the celebration at this wine festival!"

"Everyone, on this wine festival, I toast to you." King Gumo raised the wine jar in his hand, which was estimated to weigh seven or eight kilograms, and gestured to his subjects, "Today, we will not stop until we are drunk!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The words of the King of Gumo inspired the enthusiasm of the people of Gumo. As soon as the words fell, the people of Gumo who had gathered in the square raised their wine jars, wine glasses, wine bottles and other objects, and cheered in unison, full of endless excitement. Amid the roaring cheers, every Gumo person brought the wine to their lips. Hualala!
The turbid wine poured into Zhang Zhang's mouth. Such a heroic way of drinking caused a lot of wine to leak out and fall to the ground along the lapels, making a sound like a waterfall falling straight down, as if the sky was cracking and the Milky Way in the sky was falling into the world.

boom! boom! boom!
King Gumo had a great tolerance for alcohol. He drank a jar of wine weighing more than 15 kilograms in one breath. Droplets of wine condensed onto his beard. King Gumo threw the empty jar to the ground and smashed it to pieces.

Seeing this, the people of Gumo who were present smashed their drinking utensils to the ground one after another. The continuous crisp sounds echoed in the square, so loud that they suppressed the thunderous roar coming from outside Gumo City.

…………

"Qin Feng!"

"Gumo City, Grandpa is back again!"

"The smoke of war rises from the mountains and rivers, and we look northward..."

……

In Gumo City, the people of Gumo, who unceremoniously took the credit for defeating the Qin army, celebrated with great fanfare during the Wine Festival, a traditional festival that has been passed down in Gumo for hundreds of years. Outside Gumo City, the morale of the Qin army soldiers, who came with the thought of revenge, came to the foot of Gumo City under the guidance of the night.

Today, for the people of Gumo, it is a more festive day than the New Year's Eve in the Central Plains. In addition, after the Qin army retreated, Gumo once again relied on the great support of Jingjue. From the King of Gumo to the ordinary people of Gumo, no one dared to attack Gumo again. Therefore, when the Qin army soldiers arrived at the city of Gumo, they faced a city that was almost defenseless, and even the soldiers on duty were drunk and staggering.

Listening carefully, the Qin soldiers could hear cheers and shouts coming from the city. Although no one knew what the Gumo people were saying, based on the joy and happiness in their voices, the Qin soldiers were sure that the Gumo people were probably celebrating, and most likely celebrating their previous defeat.

Instantly, most of the Qin soldiers who followed Tianxuan's orders and rode a mechanical sand boat to the city of Gumo had red eyes. Those Qin soldiers who had left in disgrace before were even more aroused to the desire for revenge.

"Today, I will turn this Gumo City into a dead city!"

Li Shang, thinking back to the time when he was forced to withdraw from Gumo City, the people of Gumo in the city took advantage of his misfortune. His eyes turned blood red and a low growl came from his throat.

"Same!" Chen Ping, who had a face as beautiful as a girl, was standing beside Li Shang. His eyes were extremely cold and he sparingly uttered two words.

"kill!"

The words with endless killing intent came out of Li Shang's mouth, like a hand loosening a taut bowstring. When the 3,000 Qin soldiers who served as the vanguard heard this word, they shouted different slogans and rushed into Gumo City like hungry wolves. The thousands of soldiers galloped and landed on the ground, making a thunderous roar, as if an earthquake that was enough to destroy Gumo City had hit.
