"Really...... What guts! - Wu Heng, the fourth commander of the Taiping Army! ”

In the lobby of the inner city guard mansion in Guangling City, Xie An squinted his eyes and said the above words with a murderous face.

In fact, when Xie An persuaded Liu Qing just now, he was a little anxious in his heart. Because in Xie An's view, although many generals under his command, such as Fei Guo, Ma Dan, Liao Li, and Chengyang, have almost suppressed the resistance forces in the city, this does not mean that Wu Heng has no chance to escape from Guangling.

In fact, when he learned from the generals' reports that Wu Heng had not shown up for about half an hour, Xie Anxia was already faintly regretting at first, lamenting that this time he might have asked Wu Heng to run away again.

Of course, regret is regret, and what should be fought for still has to be fought for. Therefore, Xie An immediately ordered the cavalry team in the hands of Fei Guo, Ma Dan, and Cheng Yang to go out of the city to pursue Wu Heng, and at the same time asked Liao Li, Ou Peng, Tang Hao, Zhang Dong and others to search for Wu Heng's traces all over the city.

After all, in Xie An's opinion, Wu Heng is insidious and cunning, and he will not fail to understand the truth that the most dangerous place may also be the safest place, in other words, it is not impossible for him to hide in the city.

As a result, they didn't expect that Wu Heng's approach was even more thorough and crisp than Xie An thought, so that when Xie An and Liu Qing came to the City Guard Mansion, they were stunned to see Wu Heng and Liu Yan sitting and drinking opposite each other, and their demeanor was more calm and calm.

This made Xie An, who had just searched all over the city for Wu Heng's traces, look like a fool.

And Wu Heng obviously noticed the arrival of Xie An and the others, and at a glance, his expression was still calm as usual. Only when his eyes were focused on Liu Qing, who was full of hatred for him, did Wu Heng's eyes appear a little strange, and he seemed to take the initiative to shift his gaze with some shame.

"Lord Xie, His Royal Highness King Xian!" Liu Yan took the initiative to get up and saluted Xie An and Li Xian, the Eight Sages King, without the slightest consciousness of becoming a prisoner.

Seeing that Liu Yan took the initiative to greet him, the expression on Xie An's face softened a lot. First, Liu Yan once assumed the pseudonym Mo Yan as his Xie An's guard, and the relationship between the two was not bad, and they could talk about it; Second, Liu Yan is just an involuntary puppet in Wu Heng's hands, whether he Xie An or Li Xian next to him, he will not embarrass him too much.

Mo Yan. As one of the guards of the mansion, he slipped away quietly halfway, and you don't expect the mansion to pay your monthly salary as usual! ”

Liu Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this, then nodded and chuckled, "That's what I said, what I said." It's just that he left his post without permission, so naturally it's not good to force the moon to ......" As he said, he casually glanced at Wu Heng, who was still sitting, and then showed a little hesitation on his face. It was as if he was thinking about whether he should leave at this moment. Or should I continue to stay here.

See here. Li Xian stepped forward, and Lang said with a smile, "I really can't imagine it, the famous scholar of the Red Chamber in Guangling City." Brother Liu Yan is so young, Xiao Wang thought that he was at least a lap older than Xiao Wang...... Brother Liu Yan's wonderful words, Xiao Wang has also admired them for a long time, come and come, you and I will talk in detail! ”

I have to say that Li Xian is indeed quite good at winning people's hearts, just like helping Liu Yan to solve the siege right now, he is moisturizing things in the spring rain, leaving no traces.

However, Liu Yan's expression was a little embarrassed. Although he also understood that Li Xian was taking the initiative to relieve himself so that he could temporarily leave this embarrassing environment, Liu Yan still blushed slightly when he saw Li Xian talking about the poems he had made. After all, those so-called brilliant words. It was just a poem he used to please and praise the women of the Qinglou and win their favor, where is something that can be elegant.

In Liu Yan's opinion, maybe Li Xian does have something to discuss and talk about with him, but it is definitely not just some poems as Li Xian said, but a lot of important things related to whether Jiangnan can be stable in the future.

Facts have proved that Liu Yan's guess is not bad at all, after all, he is just a puppet in Wu Heng's hands, and Xie An and Li Xian also know this matter, how can they embarrass him too much. On the contrary, in order to stabilize the situation in Jiangnan, Li Xian also had to win over the sole crown prince of the old Southern Tang Dynasty, so as not to arouse the anger of the people in Jiangnan again.

"Lord Xie, Xiao Wang and His Royal Highness Liu Yan have seen each other at first sight, and if you want to choose another pure place to learn about your literary talents, I won't bother you here......" Arching his hand towards Xie An, Li Xian said with a smile.

When Xie An heard this, he also arched his hand towards Li Xian and Liu Yan, and said with a smile, "Please take care of yourself!" ”

"Retire and retire ......" said a few words lightly, Liu Yan followed Li Xian out of the hall, I don't know where to go, and still left in the hall, except for Xie An and Liu Qing, there were only Dian Ying, E Yi and other generals and two hundred Zhou soldiers.

Quietly watching Liu Yan go away with the corner of his eye, Wu Heng's face did not change at all, because he was sure that with the vision of Li Xian and Xie An, it was absolutely impossible to harm Liu Yan, the only crown prince of the old Southern Tang Dynasty. In this way, it is naturally not his turn Wu Heng to worry about Liu Yan, at best, he just did his last duty as a courtier and watched His Highness leave.

"The idle people have left, isn't Lord Xie going to say something to Wu?"

Seeing that Liu Yan had walked out of his sight, Wu Heng turned his head and looked at Xie An calmly.

[Huh?] ]

Xie Anxin was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that at this moment, Wu Heng could talk to him so calmly, with a faint bearing of putting life and death out of bounds, but he did not live up to the position of the fourth generation commander of the Taiping Army.

"This mansion, I can't wait to break your body into pieces!" Looking at Wu Heng and squinting his eyes, Xie An's eyes were full of murderous intent and gritted his teeth and smiled, "Speaking of which, this mansion and Wu Shuai do have a murderous feud!" ――Wu Shuai hasn't forgotten, right? ”

Xie An was undoubtedly referring to the incident where Wu Heng almost shot him to death with a crossbow three years ago.

I remember that at that time, Xie An just had the intention of watching a good show, to see if there were any of the six gods of the Taiping Army lurking among the henchmen and generals of Li Mao, the lord of the Northern Frontier, and finally inadvertently hung Wu Heng, a big fish in the Taiping Army.

In the end, in order to escape from the hands of Liang Qiuwu and Jin Ling'er, Wu Heng actually gave Xie An an arrow with a crossbow, so that Xie An, who was only thinking of watching a good show at that time, actually cultivated in bed for more than two months.

Thinking about this incident to this day, Xie An still hates itchy.

"Murderous revenge?" Wu Heng laughed instead of being angry when he heard this, shook his head and said in a helpless tone, "Xie Shangshu laughed, of course Wu remembered what happened three years ago. ――Three years ago, it was because of Xie Shangshu's words that Wu, who was lurking under Li Mao, revealed his identity...... Xie Shangshu really thinks that the crossbow arrow is just an unwarranted disaster? ”

Seeing Wu Heng's playful smile, Xie An was angry and funny. It may be that Wu Heng is at the end of his rope. He was not in a hurry to put Wu Heng to death, shook his head and said, "It's just a sentence, but Wu Shuai uses a crossbow to greet the mansion, this is a bit too much, right?" ”

"Too much?" Wu Heng subconsciously narrowed his eyes and snorted lightly, "Master Xie, do you know that your words made Wu's years of hard work in vain?!" ”

When Wu Heng said this, he was faintly angry, and it was not difficult to guess. He still remembers it vividly.

In fact. If it weren't for Xie An's words. Of course, Wu Heng can still lurk in the northern Xinjiang safely, lurking beside Li Mao, the king of Yan. Just imagine, how is Li Mao, who is stubborn and self-serving, the opponent of Wu Heng? You don't have to think about it to know that Wu Heng will definitely be able to play Li Mao around.

According to the situation at that time. Wu Heng can easily provoke the discord between Northern Xinjiang and Jijing, which makes the entire Great Zhou Dynasty in civil strife, and the three kings such as Li Shen, the king of Qin, who has not yet been killed at that time, will also take the opportunity to become a big force, plus the Taiping Army in Jiangnan with Liang Qiuhao, a peerless fierce general, the Great Zhou Dynasty is a good country, and it is undoubtedly divided into several pieces, which will plunge the whole world into real war.

When that happens, it's far worse than it is now!

In this way, it is no wonder that Wu Heng hates Xie An in his heart. Before leaving, he did not forget to give Xie An three arrows as a "gift".

"Oh? So, the government was reaping the consequences of its own evil at that time? With a cold snort, Xie An's eyes were full of displeasure.

As if noticing the displeasure in Xie An's eyes, Wu Heng chuckled and said, "What? Want to get your hands dirty? Wu is here. I won't hide, and I won't run! ”

is also said, if Wu Heng really wanted to escape, he would indeed have a chance to escape when the Zhou army entered the city.

Xie An also knows this. Perhaps it is precisely because he knows this that Xie An wants to chat with Wu Heng, after all, Wu Heng is still a hero no matter how good he is.

"That's right, this mansion can't wait to shoot through your chest with a bow and crossbow, but ......" Speaking of this, the murderous intent in Xie An's eyes slowly dissipated, and he gently patted Liu Qing's shoulders beside him left and right, gently pushed her in front of him, looked at Wu Heng and said lightly, "However, the bitter lord who came this time is not this mansion, but her!" ”

"......" Wu Heng's complexion finally changed slightly, why didn't he see Liu Qing staring at him with extremely hateful eyes since he was beaten?

Seeing the half-grown woman who was extremely similar to the second-generation commander of the Taiping Army and the woman who had been honored by him Wu Heng as Lord Liu Ji, Wu Heng's eyes suddenly became complicated. Remorse, panic, guilt, shame, all kinds of indescribable expressions converged in his eyes.

"You...... You'd love to kill me! ”

After hesitating for a while, Wu Heng said something that sounded awkward to Xie An. After all, if Xie An hadn't guessed wrong, he should have been concerned.

This time, Xie An guessed correctly again.

When he saw Liu Qing, Wu Heng actually wanted to ask her how she was doing in the Zhou army and how she was doing recently. But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't ask anything, so that in the end, he held back such a sentence that made Xie An feel extremely awkward.

[Goodbye is a mortal enemy who doesn't share the sky...... It's sad! ――Is this the only thing you can say to her so far? ]

Even if he is a hero, Wu Heng's eyes can't help but darken. Maybe Wu Heng did have a grudge against Liu Qing and Liang Qiuhao in the past, but at least eighty percent of that was the old hatred when he failed to serve as the third generation commander of the Taiping Army, and he didn't understand why Liu Qian, the second-generation commander-in-chief, chose Liang Qiuhao instead of Wu Heng.

It wasn't until Liu Yan said that Wu Heng realized that he had attributed all his grievances to others, but he had never reflected on what he had done.

"If you want to kill me, you have to do it early!" After drinking a glass of wine, Wu Heng looked at Liu Qing and said calmly.

Hearing this, Liu Qingmei's eyes flashed with hatred, and Zhou Yi next to him saw it, and immediately took the initiative to hand over the sword.

And just as Liu Qing was about to hold the hilt of the sword, Xie An grabbed her wrist and slowly let go.

"......" may have realized something from Xie An's worried gaze, and the murderous intent in Liu Qing's eyes subsided a little, but she still held the sword and slowly walked towards Wu Heng.

Wu Heng naturally saw this scene. However, after glancing at it with an unexpected gaze, he put all his attention on Liu Qing again.

The sharp blade finally put on Wu Heng's neck, but Wu Heng still drank calmly as if he didn't notice it at all.

"Why...... Why do that, Wu Heng! Liu Qing asked in a low voice. Her shoulders trembled as she spoke, and the sword in her hand trembled.

"......" Wu Heng still drank with his eyes closed and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Liu Qing became more and more angry. shouted angrily. "Why are you betraying us?! Why do you want to see death and not save it?! Why do you want to abandon all 50,000 of my brothers as outcasts?! ”

"......" Wu Heng's right hand holding the wine cup trembled slightly. But in the end, the wine cup still came to his lips. He drank the wine from the glass in one gulp.

"Why...... Why...... I used to ...... I used to see you as a brother...... Brother Chen, Brother Yang, and you...... You have been by my side since I was sensible...... But why ......?"

"Dangchang" sounded. The sword in Liu Qing's hand fell to the ground, and her whole body slowly fell to the ground, her tone was scolded, and she covered her face and sobbed softly.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiang Dianying and E Yi's faces changed slightly, after all, in his opinion, if Wu Heng suddenly attacked at this moment, it would be easy to subdue Liu Qing as a hostage.

Thinking of this, they quietly grabbed their blades and walked over. However, he didn't take a few steps before he saw Xie An raise his hand to stop them.

"Shh After making a silent gesture, Xie An slowly shook his head towards his subordinates, Dian Ying and E Yi, signaling them not to act rashly.

It's not that Xie An doesn't care about Liu Qing's safety, it's just that he feels it. At present, Wu Heng has no intention of harming Liu Qing at all.

"Stupid!" As Xie An expected, Wu Heng did not take the opportunity to take Liu Qing's uniform as a hostage, it should be said that he did not even change his sitting posture, but only let out a mockery from his mouth.

"What did you say?" Liu Qing, who was hiding her face and crying, raised her head suddenly and glared at Wu Heng fiercely.

I saw Wu Heng sneer, and said lightly, "Immersed in the memories of the past, I can't bear to kill the guy who is obviously a mortal enemy because of my feelings...... Chen Bei's bastard thing is not only so pedantic himself, but he also taught you to be so virtuous! - You don't have the talent to command 100,000 Taiping troops! ”

"You are not allowed to insult Brother Chen!" Seeing Wu Heng insulting Liang Qiuhao, Liu Qing's face turned red, and he picked up the sword that fell to the ground and put it on Wu Heng's neck again.

"Could it be that Wu is wrong?!" With a heavy snort, Wu Heng said in a deep voice, "The so-called one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, as the master of the people, you should have the consciousness of pouring millions of people to take the world!" - You Liu Qing, are you? ”

"I ......"

"You don't have it! --You are no longer the princess of the Taiping Army......" Speaking of this, the fierce color on Wu Heng's face disappeared without a trace, and he said softly in an unprecedentedly gentle tone, "So, in the future, you will be an ordinary woman and live......"

[Wu Heng, who is so ruthless that even his own people will stab him in the back, has such a gentle time? ] ]

"Hiss......" Xie An gasped in shock.

On the other hand, Liu Qing and the officers and soldiers of the Zhou army in the hall were also stunned by Wu Heng's words full of concern.

And at this moment, he saw Wu Heng laughing, shook his head and said, "So you're stupid!" Although he is very smart, he was repeatedly played by Wu Mou in the end! -- When you were stupid, you had lost the best ...... to kill Wu Timing ......"

Hearing this, Xie An was suddenly stunned, and when he took a closer look, he found that a black blood was faintly flowing from the corner of Wu Heng's mouth.

"Alcohol is poisonous!" Xie An let out a loud shout.

When Zhou Jiang Dianying and E Yi heard this, they stepped forward a few steps forward and protected Liu Qing behind them.

At this time, Wu Heng couldn't stop spitting out black blood from his mouth, and then his head sank, and there was no life in his eyes.

"Don't die, you don't die! - I won't let you die like this! I want you to die at my hands...... Wu Heng, don't pretend to be dead! Don't play dead! Liu Qing, who was held by Dianying and Eyi, cried loudly.

"Military advisor, military advisor ......" pulled Liu Qing, Dian Ying persuaded softly, "This person has committed suicide by taking poison......

"No, he's not dead!" Breaking free from the pull of Dianying and E Yi, Liu Qing stepped forward in a few steps, shook Wu Heng's lifeless corpse, and cried in a sinister tone, "Wu Heng, you don't want to die, this palace doesn't allow you to die!" - You haven't paid the price for what you've done, and I won't let you die! You give me ...... Come back to life, you bring me back to life......"

"......" sighed slightly, Xie An waved his hand, signaling Dian Ying and E Yi to pull Liu Qing away, and then looked at Wu Heng, who was sitting in the seat even if he died.

[Heh, this extremely ruthless man, even in the end, didn't say a word of apology!] But...... does not have the talent to be the commander of the Taiping Army, so she will live as an ordinary woman in the future...... Wu Heng, the reason why you didn't run away was because you wanted to tell her what you said? ]

Taking a deep breath, Xie An slowly shook his head. Even though he had a deep hatred for Wu Heng before, it was difficult for him to deny that Wu Heng was indeed a hero.

[Don't cry, silly girl, he's already apologized, ...... with action]

Looking at Liu Qing, who was crying extremely much for some reason, Xie An let out a long sigh.

On May 15, the fifth year of Jingzhi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Guangling City, which had fallen to the Taiping army, was finally broken by the Zhou army.

During this period, Wu Heng, the son of Wu Wei, the deputy marshal of the first Taiping Army and the fourth commander of the Taiping Army, died at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.

And Wu Heng's death means that the Taiping rebellion that lasted for more than 20 years has come to an end.
