Chapter 517: Two Pieces of News
"I want revenge, I'll go with you!" Lao Cheng finally made his own decision.
"We give you two years, and after two years you yourself come to them for revenge. The Shadow Man said to Lao Cheng.
"Okay!" Lao Cheng agreed.
The shadow man nodded to Lao Cheng and walked forward. Lao Cheng glanced around at the people around him, engraved their appearance firmly in his heart, looked at his relatives who were lying in a pool of blood, knelt on their knees and kowtowed to them three times, knocked their foreheads bloody, and then got up and left with the two.
"Fuck, did you let you go, stop me!" shouted at the Shadow Man.
The shadow duo turned their heads at the same time, their sharp eyes looked directly at the second generation of officials like blades, and the second generation of officials was frightened and their hairs stood on end, and they immediately shut up and watched the three of them leave slowly. The group of minions who were beside the second generation of the official were also frightened and silent, until the three of them walked away and couldn't see the figure, so they began to roll up their arms and sleeves and shout loudly.
Lao Cheng followed the shadow of the people naturally joined the shadow army, for a person who is bent on revenge, although he is older, he missed the best time to practice martial arts, but, driven by hatred, he frantically tortured himself, and in two years, he still became a master of martial arts. Achieving such a high achievement in such a short period of time, it usually seems that it is absolutely impossible! Even if Ye Heng's talent is so good and he has practiced diligently, it would have taken about eight years, but Lao Cheng did it!
Of course, in order to improve quickly, he must have used some forbidden means, but he didn't care, even if he knew that the consequences of doing so would cause a lifetime of achievements limited to this, he never regretted it, because, with such strength, revenge is enough!
Two years later, Lao Cheng returned from school, came to the home of the second generation of officials alone, and killed all the men, women, and children in his family and 54 people in the nursing home overnight, and even stabbed the second generation of officials one by one. Finally, the head of the second generation of the official's family was cut off, hung high above the city gate, and the words "Murderer Cheng Pinghe" were written on the city wall.
The local officials were exterminated, and such a shocking case naturally alarmed the imperial court, and immediately sent a messenger to investigate the case. It doesn't matter if you check it out, the result is that the crimes committed by the second generation of officials and their family are too numerous to mention, and the death of their family can be said to be deserved!
Lao Cheng originally planned to spend his last days in the city drinking and drinking and meating every day. He was originally a local, and there were many people who knew him, he mentioned a word on the city wall, and he did not deliberately hide his whereabouts, he thought that the government would soon come to arrest him, but he waited left and right, and no one came, which made him completely disappointed in the court, so he wholeheartedly joined the Shadow Army and became a loyal supporter of the Shadow Lord. Overthrowing the Shuntian Empire and unifying the Tianyun Continent has become the goal he will strive for in the future.
It's just that some people, no matter how they change, can't erase the goodness in their hearts. The Shadow Army's approach in the later stage gradually aroused Lao Cheng's dissatisfaction, especially when he learned that in order to complete his ambitions, the Shadow actually colluded with the people of the Ghost Domain to kill the compatriots on the mainland.
In today's battle, Lao Cheng found that the Shadow Army was gone, and at the same time, when he saw so many people gathering in Jinzhou to fight against the ghosts for the sake of the people's well-being, the safety of the empire, and the peace of the mainland, it made him full of hope for the future of his family and country, but anyone could surrender, anyone could betray the Shadow, but he couldn't! It was the Shadow who helped him take revenge, no matter what the Shadow did wrong, but it was kind to him!
After saying goodbye to Xiao Liu, Lao Cheng's mind changed sharply, he could not surrender, and he couldn't bear to attack these enemy troops who were concerned about the safety of his family and country, and felt that his life was meaningless, and only one death could be freed.
So, Lao Cheng killed him viciously, but at the last moment, he put away his weapon and used his body to meet the spear stabbed by a cadet soldier. That student was obviously killing someone for the first time, and at the same time, he didn't expect that Lao Cheng would be automatically sent to death, so he stood on the spot for a while, not knowing what to do.
"Thank you! I'm finally free!" Lao Cheng looked at the cadet soldiers with a smile and said very calmly, "Child, don't be afraid, some people should be killed, then resolutely kill them, otherwise, they will kill more people." I hope you can become a great hero of the Suncheon Empire in the future and protect her people!"
The cadet looked at Lao Cheng stupidly, listening to him say these words, until Lao Cheng fell, he still did not come to his senses. He never dreamed that the first time he killed someone in his life would be like this.
"Brother Cheng!" Xiao Liu watched Lao Cheng fall, roared, and tears rained down. Xiao Liu knew in his heart that this middle-aged man, who usually looked cold, had a good heart. If you don't train hard, he will whip you mercilessly, and beat you to the point where your skin is broken. However, no matter what difficulties you encounter, as long as he knows about it, he will help you quietly. He doesn't want to be close to anyone and always lives alone, but he is willing to be kind to others and never bully anyone.
In Xiao Liu's view, Lao Cheng is a good person, a great good person! Such a good person, but in the end ended his life in this way, he doesn't know if Lao Cheng is right to do this, but he will definitely build a monument for Lao Cheng's grave, often go to his grave to burn paper and sacrifice wine, and talk more with him.
Lao Cheng died, he was originally an older member of the Shadow Army, his strength was not too high in the army, but his prestige was very high. If he dies in battle, it will surely arouse the hearts of many people to resist, and a brutal fierce battle will inevitably be avoided. However, Lao Cheng sought death by himself, and he died as he deserved, and walked so calmly, not only did not arouse the revenge of his comrades, but accelerated the speed of their surrender.
The Shadow Army around Lao Cheng threw away the weapons in their hands one after another, walked towards him silently, and finally came to Lao Cheng's corpse and saluted him collectively. They all know what happened to Lao Cheng, they know that it is not easy for him to live, he leaves the world in this way and reunites with his relatives, and they really don't know whether to be sad or happy for him.
The battle soon came to an end, the Martial Sect Rank Powers of the Shadow Group were killed one after another, the Shadow Army was annihilated with stubborn resistance, and those who surrendered were treated favorably and did not embarrass them. There was not much left of the Ghost Army, and seeing that the tide was gone, they also learned from the Shadow Army to throw away their weapons and raise their hands in surrender.
"Kill them all, and never accept the surrender of the ghost robbers!" Ye Heng said coldly, this sentence also decided the fate of the surviving ghost army, since then, the ghost domain people who invaded the Heavenly Fortune Continent were completely wiped out, and they lost 100,000 troops, I don't know what impact it will have on the ghost domain? Even if the ghost domain is in dire straits, it is their own fault, and they deserve it!
Ye Heng and Li Xiu were old acquaintances, and after the war, he handed over Dongning City to Li Xiu to manage, and he returned with the armed forces of Lugou Village. Li Xiu had 5,000 Mexican troops, plus teams that came to support from all over the world, and then incorporated the original defenders of Dongning City, and sorted out an army of more than 30,000 people, whether it was to manage Dongning City or protect the entire Jinzhou, the strength was enough. As long as you run in for a period of time and straighten out the affairs of the entire Golden State, you can send a certain amount of troops to Dingkun Prefecture, where nearly half of the forces of the Shuntian Empire and the main force of the Yingtian Empire are still facing each other across the river, once the war starts, it will be an earth-shattering war!
No one can afford to lose this battle, no matter who loses, the opponent's army will cross the river with its army, smash the Yellow Dragon, and overthrow the opponent's rule. Therefore, if you have any extra troops, you must go to support!
As soon as Ye Heng returned to Lugou Village, he received two messages from Yanyulou, one good and one bad. The good thing is that Lintai City and Quanshou Prefecture have been recovered, and the army of the Yingtian Empire has suffered heavy casualties, and only two or three out of ten have successfully escaped back to the south bank of the Dingjiang River.
It turned out that Li Fu, the Marquis of the Northwest, arranged in advance for Yang Ziang and his son to lead their army to the south in a roundabout way and hold the north bank of the Dingjiang River. Yang Ziang and his son secretly evacuated during the Battle of Pingcheng and took refuge in the Northwest Marquis, who did not have the slightest suspicion of this old friend who was coerced by the Taiyin Sect to join the rebels, and entrusted him with this important task to complete. The Northwest Marquis personally led 100,000 Northwest Army to the south, joined forces with the army that was originally besieging Lintai City, and took the state city of Linhan Prefecture with the momentum of destroying and decaying. Then the army moved south and approached Quanshou Prefecture.
The Yingtian Empire's army stationed in Quanshou Prefecture immediately shrank its defensive line, concentrating all its forces on the large city, only defending it without attacking it, and trying to hold it for a long time. However, the Northwest Army attacked the city and pulled out the village, and the speed of the south was extremely fast, and finally the Yingtian army had no choice but to force it, and all of them were concentrated in Yuanling City, the state capital of Quanshou Prefecture.
The Yingtian army was strong and cleared, and while holding on to the city, they asked the imperial court for help, but the letters they sent for help were intercepted by Yang Ziang's troops, and even the supplies sent by the Yingtian Empire were stopped by Yang Ziang, and the army of the Yingtian Empire was immediately trapped in Yuanling City.
It didn't take long for the Yingtian Empire's army to run out of ammunition and food, and was forced to break through and retreat to Dingjiang, wanting to abandon Quanshou Prefecture and return to the Yingtian Empire, but was ambushed by Yang Ziang and Yang Linfeng father and son, and was caught up by the Northwest Army of the Northwest Hou, after a major battle, only a small part of the Yingtian Army swam through Dingjiang to save their lives. In this way, the war in the southwestern part of the Suncheon Empire was completely quelled.
The bad news is that several forces in Yong'an City suddenly fought and launched a fierce battle for the throne, and for a while, the imperial capital was in chaos and Yong'an City was uneasy.
The number of people invested by several forces is increasing, there have been battles in almost every street and alley, and there is a bloody fight everywhere, so that the frightened people in the city do not dare to go out in broad daylight. The ruling ability of the Shuntian Empire's court was paralyzed in an instant, if it weren't for the effective control of the wars everywhere, this would not have caused a worse impact, otherwise, the imperial capital would be in chaos, the imperial court would lose its ability to govern, and the war around the empire would not be quelled, and the Shuntian Empire would survive in the wind and rain, and it was likely to perish!
