Chapter 270: Don't Leave When You Come
Lying on the ground, Liao Zhong's heart was very calm, he knew that he was going to die, but he also knew that his family would have nothing to do from now on.
It's just that he has some worries, will these people cause trouble?
After all, now that the city of Hangzhou is empty, if they take someone to kill the prince, they may be in trouble.
But thinking about it, Liao Zhong didn't want to think about it, he was going to die, and people died like lights going out, how could he care about this?
But at this moment, there was a sudden movement outside the door.
Then Liao Zhong heard a popping sound, and people around him kept falling.
These people, who wanted to kill themselves just now, were all lying on the ground at this time.
They had crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies, some in the top of their heads, some in their throats, and some with several in their bodies. No matter where it is plugged in. None of these people will clearly survive.
Dense footsteps approached from outside, and someone came in.
Liao Zhong couldn't believe it, who could still kill him at this time?
He tried to stand up, but he had no choice but to look back at the door.
A bunch of people rushed in at the door, all of them with the kind of crossbow arrows in their hands, and they shot at the fish that slipped through the net. The most important thing is that they have a very fast rate of fire and at the same time a very high level of accuracy.
The traitors were all shot to the ground, and there was no resistance at all.
Seeing the black leather armor on the people who came in, Liao Zhong knew that it was the Black Dragon Guard.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really expected things like a god.
At this time, someone had already walked to Liao Zhong's side, looked at him lying on the ground, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Liao Zhong wanted to say, "Do you think I'm okay like this?" ”
But he also knew that this thing was really unspeakable, so he quickly shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I can't die for the time being." ”
"You can't die if you look like you." The person who came said with a smile, then beckoned to the person behind him, and directly ordered: "Treat his injuries, don't let him die." ”
"Second master, don't worry, you can't die from this injury." The man agreed with a smile as he knelt on the ground and began to treat Liao Zhong's wounds.
"You have a good job, you have been stabbed seven or eight times, and none of them have hurt the vital point. Otherwise, where can we come? ”
"I'm just afraid of death." Liao Zhong said helplessly: "Although I know that I will die, I always want to avoid the key point, and stay up for a while." If you come a little later, I probably won't be able to make it up. ”
"We should be a little late, so you can be a hero." The man said with a smile.
Although he chatted with Liao Zhong, the movements in his hands never stopped.
Liao Zhong looked at the person who was called the second master, and saw that he led someone to mend all the corpses on the ground.
These people did not hesitate at all, they were very fast, and their hands were clean and neat, and it could be seen that they were all veterans.
"What are we going to do next?" Liao Zhong asked as he endured the pain in his body.
"Take your people to His Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Prince is already waiting for you." Zhang Biao said with a smile: "Now it's your people's turn to do things, our brothers have worked hard enough these days." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that the people on his side were unreliable, and now that Liao Zhong also knew, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his previous thoughts, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll personally bring someone over." ”
"You're still bringing people over personally? You probably have to die on the road. Zhang Biao said angrily.
"But looking at your appearance, I won't be willing to go over. Wait a minute, I'll get someone to carry you. ”
"Thank you very much." Liao Zhong glanced at Zhang Biao gratefully.
Zhang Biao waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's just that I respect you as a man." If you just surrendered, now you are like them. After all, you still have a bit of a conscience. ”
"I'm very ashamed," Liao Zhong said with some shame: "I have done a lot of wrong things before, His Royal Highness Prince Meng doesn't care about his past suspicions, how dare Liao Zhong turn his back on it again?" My life belongs to His Royal Highness the Prince, and I will not die for others. ”
Zhang Biao glanced at Liao Zhong and said with a smile: "The big festival is not a loss, and the others are not so important." ”
For people in this era, many things are important, but many things are not so important, such as embezzling some money.
Whether it is in the civilian government or in the military generals, corruption is not a big deal.
In this era, the emphasis is on the big festival and not the loss, as for the rest, it is all minutiae.
Military generals are such things, they sometimes have to deliberately embezzle, so as not to overshadow the master, which is called self-defilement.
There is also a saying in the imperial court that it is better to make a mistake than to make a mistake. This is something peculiar to this era.
Therefore, Zhang Biao still maintained respect for Liao Zhong, mainly because he had not surrendered just now and was willing to fight to the death.
After having this, the previous things are not so important to Zhang Biao, it is nothing more than encroaching on a little land and embezzling some money and grain, which is not so important.
This is the difference between thinking from a different standpoint.
Soon everything was dealt with here, and Zhang Biao asked Liao Zhong to rush to Zhu Houzhao with people.
However, they were very secret along the way, and they made a very anxious posture, so that outsiders couldn't see whether they were going to rescue the driver or kill the prince.
West Lake, Zhu Houzhao's station.
Looking at Zhang Biao who walked in, and then at Liao Zhong who was carried in, Zhu Houzhao asked expressionlessly, "Everything is done?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the matter has been completed." Zhang Biao nodded and said.
"You did a good job on this errand, and I will reward you when I return to Beijing." Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Haven't you always wanted to lead an army?" I'll give you an army when I get back. ”
Listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhang Biao's face showed ecstasy, and he quickly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
"Alright, get up. You have been following this palace for a long time, and you should know that this palace has always been rewarded and punished. This time it was a good job, and what should be rewarded to you will be rewarded. ”
After saying this, Zhu Hou looked at Liao Zhong on the ground.
Liao Zhong is now struggling to get up.
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand directly and said, "It seems that you are not in the same league as them." ”
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is a criminal minister, but there are some things in his heart that he will not forget. The minister is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he dare not forget his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty, and His Royal Highness the Prince! Liao Zhong hurriedly said.
"It's good to have this loyalty." Zhu Houzhao nodded and said to the person beside him, "Carry him down to recuperate." ”
After Liao Zhong was carried away, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to Zhang Biao and said, "You go and arrange it immediately, we still have a big show to sing." I guess they can't wait, don't let them down. ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister will do it immediately." Zhang Biao hurriedly agreed.
Not long after Zhang Biao left, shouts of killing sounded outside.
Zhu Houzhao sat on a chair in armor, looking at the West Lake in front of him, silent.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, will they still come up from the lake?" Standing beside Zhu Houzhao, Yang Lian asked with some doubts.
Things have come to this point, and he has done a lot of things, so he ran to Zhu Houzhao's side to accompany him, and also asked the questions he had always had in his heart.
"Why didn't you come? They will definitely come. Zhu Houzhao smiled: "
The battle ahead is so fierce, this is the place to surprise and attack it unprepared. They had already tried it last time, and they would have to do it again this time. ”
Above the West Lake, more than a dozen boats are wandering.
Wang Huai stood on the bow of the boat, and there were many people at his side, all of whom were the dead soldiers he had raised.
After hearing the shouts of killing in the city, Wang Huai's face showed an excited look, and at the same time he turned to the person behind him and said, "The meritorious service is today, follow me up to capture the prince alive!" No matter who captures the prince alive, the silver woman can choose at will, and she can be named a general in the future! ”
Wang Huai loudly boosted his morale, and at the same time brandished a sword in his hand, signaling the ship to rush forward quickly.
Naturally, his men did not dare to slack off, so the boat rushed to the shore at high speed.
Not far from the shore, a person quickly ran to Zhu Houzhao's side and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we have found a boat on the lake that is approaching us. ”
Zhu Houzhao nodded, and said unhurriedly: "Let your people get ready." ”
The man ran away quickly, the binoculars hanging from his chest swaying.
He ran to a small tall building not far away, which was his observation post and where the order was issued.
After the person left, Yang Lian asked again, "His Royal Highness the Prince, will that gentleman come?" ”
"Will come." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "If I do this, I will definitely come." Because success or failure is here, I need to keep an eye on it personally, otherwise I won't be at ease. ”
"Of course, it is not excluded that he is a coward, and he does not dare to come. But judging by this man's way of acting, he is not a coward, so he will definitely come. Bengong has been waiting for him here for a long time, and if this person is not removed, Bengong will not be able to deal with King Ning with peace of mind. ”
Yang Lian didn't say anything more, just continued to watch.
After the ship docked, Wang Huai did not let people get off the boat as soon as possible.
Last time, he lost a lot of manpower here, so this time he was extra cautious.
Listening to the louder and louder shouts of killing not far away, Wang Huai's face showed an excited look. So he waved his hand and asked a team of his men to explore the way.
After they had gone far away, Wang Huai asked the others to follow them and disembark.
Some people approached the building in front of them.
Although I don't know where Zhu Houzhao is, as long as I kill it, I will definitely be able to find it.
Now Zhu Houzhao is staring at the person in front of him, and it is a good time for him to make a move.
Some of them quickly moved into the building, passing through what Wang Huai thought was the most dangerous place. But at this time, Wang Huai suddenly heard a crisp sound, and then one of the people around him fell.
Before he could react, the sound crackled like popping beans, and all the people around him lay on the ground, splashing blood flowers on their bodies.
It's a firebolt.
Wang Huai flashed these two words in his mind by the way.
But it's not like he's never seen a firecracker, and it really doesn't have such a great power. There was no room for him to think too much, and he knew he had been ambushed again.
Ignoring his subordinates, Wang Huai turned around and ran outside.
In a building not far away, Zhu Hou looked at Wang Huai, who turned around and ran, and said expressionlessly: "If you talk about strategy, he is still a good talent; But when it comes to fighting, he's far behind. ”
"Of all the people, he wears the most conspicuous outfit. It's really complacent and confident. ”
When he said this, Zhu Houzhao's tone was full of mockery.
Turning his head to look at Yang Lian, Zhu Houzhao said: "Tell them, catch them alive, don't kill that person to this palace, this palace will still be useful to keep him." ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." Yang Lian hurriedly agreed.
So the order was quickly spread.
Wang Huai ran desperately in front, resentful in his heart, and his eyes were already red.
He didn't know how things turned out like this, why was this Zhu Houzhao prepared?
But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you can't kill him. Now the city of Hangzhou is full of its own people, and the attack is still continuing in front, and Li Zhong outside the city is about to enter the city.
After Li Zhong entered the city, Hangzhou City was still his own. As long as I get out of here alive now, then everything will still be there.
When Wang Huai rushed to the lake, he was stunned, and his footsteps stopped instantly.
Because opposite him, stood a team of black dragon guards.
These black dragon guards all had fire guns in their hands, and the guns of the fire guns were all aimed at him.
As soon as the other side gives an order, he will be beaten into a sieve.
Zhang Biao looked at Wang Huai and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, since they are all here, why do you have to leave so early?" ”
On Wang Huai's side, there are still many dead soldiers. These were all running out with him, and they didn't dare to move at this time.
Just now they had seen the power of the firecrackers, and knew that there was only one way to die if they rushed forward.
Under such circumstances, they turned their heads to look at Wang Huai.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am afraid that I will not be able to live any longer today. But we can't surrender, if we surrender, we will die, and it will be a pleasure to die here! As long as we rush over, we will survive! After leaving here, the city of Hangzhou will still be ours, and there will be no less glory and wealth at that time! ”
"Now follow me!" After saying this, Wang Huai held his sword and rushed forward.
Looking at Wang Huai who rushed over, Zhang Biao smiled disdainfully, waved his hand lightly, and the sound of banging sounded instantly.
One by one, the people around Wang Huai fell to the ground, and some of the blood splashes fell on his face, wetting the corners of his clothes, and the blood stained the ground under his feet.
Zhang Biao watched this scene with no expression on his face. This new type of firearm is really easy to use, pointing to where to hit. It won't be the same as before, and what is shot out will not be the place to aim at it at all.
In the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is called a front-loading rifled gun, and I don't understand it, anyway, I know that the cost is very expensive. Now it seems that the effect is really good.
Zhang Biao liked it very much, because he saw that everyone was shot, and only Wang Huai was standing there alone.
