Seeing Yang An riding his horse towards him, Yang Songnu did not flee, but stood there quietly, after nearly a day of running, his body had been exhausted, and he chose to give up knowing that it was impossible for him to avoid the pursuit.

At this time, even if he died, Yang Songnu did not have much regret, in the coup d'état ten years ago, he survived, ten years later, he launched a coup d'état, killed the enemy in one fell swoop, and sat on the throne of Qiu Chigong, although this position has only been done for a short time, but for Yang Songnu, who has lived for ten years, it is already very satisfying.

Yang An led two hundred cavalry to slowly march to a position a few steps in front of Yang Songnu, looking at Yang Songnu with a calm expression and a relaxed face, Yang Anxin was slightly surprised, on the occasion of death, Yang Songnu could have such a expression, which was somewhat beyond Yang An's expectations.

"Major General, look, King Liang Shi ran to the right." A subordinate general pointed to King Liang Shi, who had escaped hundreds of paces, and said loudly.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Yang An's mouth, and he ordered: "Lead fifty cavalry to chase after him, and you must not let him escape." ”

"Yes, Major General." The general answered, and led fifty cavalry to chase in the direction of King Liang's escape.

Yang An glared at Yang Songnu angrily, and Yang Songnu looked at Yang An lightly.

"Nephew, you've finally caught up." Yang Songnu spoke first.

Yang An was furious and reprimanded: "Yang Songnu, today is your death date, you just wait to die!" After speaking, he pulled out the weapon in his hand.

Yang Songnu smiled helplessly and said softly, "Nephew." We haven't seen each other for years, and before my uncle and grandfather die, shouldn't we catch up? ”

"Yang Songnu, don't you want to play any tricks, what is there to catch up with between me and you." Yang An looked at Yang Songnu vigilantly.

"Niece, don't you remember? When you were young, your uncle and grandfather often took you hunting and personally barbecued meat for you to eat in the wild, what a beautiful life was at that time! Ha ha! On the verge of death, Yang Songnu actually recalled the beautiful past.

Yang An heard this. frowned. That was more than ten years ago, when he was only a few years old, but his body was outstanding. Far better than children of the same age. Hunting on horseback is not a problem. Yang Songnu, on the other hand, was a young and vigorous adult, and since they were men of the same family, they often went hunting in the mountains together. to connect with each other's feelings.

As a minor child, Yang An was unanimously affirmed and cared for by the adult uncles of the family, including Yang Songnu, the youngest son of the then monarch Yang Nandi.

Recalling the good past, it can always make people's hearts feel warm, Yang An thought of the scene when Yang Songnu took care of himself more than ten years ago, and suddenly a sense of family affection was born in his heart, and the hostility towards Yang Songnu in front of him also weakened a lot.

Yang An pondered for a long time, glared at Yang Songnu fiercely, and reprimanded loudly: "Yang Songnu, you killed the king and seized the throne, you killed my grandfather, I have a common enmity with you, you don't want me to let you go." ”

When Yang Songnu heard this, he smiled, and said softly: "Killing the monarch and seizing the throne, the position of the monarch of Qiuchi, is in the line of my brother Yang Yi, your grandfather Yang Chu is the first person to kill the monarch and seize the throne in Qiuchi, back then, he led the army to coup d'état, broke into the Qiuchi Mansion, killed my brother Yang Yi, and also plundered my beautiful sister-in-law. ”

Yang An was silent when he heard this, nearly ten years have passed since this incident, although when the coup happened, he was still very young and didn't understand what happened, but as he grew older and matured his thoughts, he had successively learned about his grandfather Yang Chu, some of the inside stories of killing the monarch and seizing the throne, and he couldn't find a reason to refute Yang Songnu's loud refutation.

"Nephew, why don't you speak, it seems that you already know about this matter, Yang Chu killed the king and seized the throne, killed people and took his wife, and usurped the throne of Qiu Chi for nearly ten years, shouldn't he die?" Yang Songnu shouted loudly.

"Yang Songnu, shut up, I won't allow you to insult my grandfather." Although he felt that his grandfather had done something wrong, Yang An was still a little angry when he saw Yang Songnu insulting Yang Chu so loudly, after all, Yang Chu was his own grandfather, even if he did something wrong, he didn't want others to insult him like this.

Yang Songnu said in one breath the words that had been accumulated in his heart for nearly ten years, and there was an indescribable feeling of relief all over his body, he paused, and said softly: "Nephew, don't be angry, now that I fall into your hands, it can be regarded as exhaustive, come on!" Kill me! After saying that, he closed his eyes gently.

Yang An looked up at Yang Songnu, holding the weapon in his hand, he really wanted to kill Yang Songnu to avenge his grandfather, and at the same time, there was a trace of unbearability in his heart, after all, his grandfather was also the one who killed the king and seized the throne and ascended to the throne of Qiu Chigong.

"Major General, King Liang Shiwang has been captured by the last general." At this moment, the general captured the escaped Liang Shiwang and threw it in front of Yang An.

"King Liang Shi, my grandfather is so fond of you, why do you want to take revenge?" Yang An glared at King Liang Shi and scolded angrily.

King Liang Shiwang looked back at Yang Songnu and replied, "My cousin asked me to do it, don't care about my business." ”

Seeing that King Liang Shi was putting all the responsibility on himself at this juncture, Yang Songnu slowly opened his eyes, looked at King Liang Shi, and said softly: "Cousin, no matter what you say, today is the death date of you and me. ”

Liang Shiwang was silent when he heard this, bowed his head and stopped talking.

"Major General, kill them and avenge the Lord." One of the generals said loudly.

"Kill them. Kill them. All the soldiers said in unison.

With the support of all the soldiers, Yang An raised the spear in his hand and stabbed forward violently, killing the Liang Shiwang on the ground in front of him.

After killing King Liang Shi, Yang An pulled out his spear and looked at Yang Songnu, but he didn't step forward to kill Yang Songnu.

"Nephew, what are you waiting for? Don't kill me yet. Yang Songnu looked at Yang An and said softly.

Yang An looked at the tip of the spear that was dripping blood, thought for a moment, and said softly: "Yang Songnu, I won't kill you today, you can go!" With that, he stuck the spear in his hand into the ground.

Seeing that Yang An wanted to let go of himself, Yang Songnu was greatly surprised, and the soldiers beside Yang An were even more stunned, they didn't understand why Yang An wanted to let go of his enemy.

"Let me go, why is that?" Yang Songnu couldn't believe his ears.

Yang An frowned, and said: "I let you go today, just because you took care of me back then, and the next time we meet, I won't be soft, and you won't leave quickly." ”

When Yang Songnu heard this, he finally understood Yang An's thoughts, Yang An was grateful for his care more than ten years ago, so he decided to let himself go temporarily.

"Nephew, let me go, after you go back, how will you explain to your father?" Yang Songnu asked softly.

"How to explain is my business, you don't need to care, let's go!" Yang An's attitude was very resolute.

Yang Songnu let out a long breath, smiled, and said softly: "That's it, my life, it's useless to live a few more days, since you can't do it, then I'll do it myself, kill your grandfather, it's also revenge, I have been a monarch for so many days, and I have been addicted to it, I Yang Songnu has no regrets in this life, nephew, take my corpse and get the reward!" After saying that, he drew the sword at his waist and killed himself.

Seeing Yang Songnu kill himself, Yang An suddenly felt empty in his heart, he did not have the pleasure of revenge at all, but a sense of loss.

Yang An pulled out the spear stuck in the ground, turned the horse's head, and ordered: "The whole army immediately returns to Xiafen City, and ...... on the horse."

When the soldiers heard the order, they rode their horses behind Yang An and ran in the direction of Xiabiancheng, and one of the generals cut off the heads of Yang Songnu and Liang Shiwang and tied them around his waist so that he could return to Xiabiancheng to receive the reward.

#####

At this time, in the direction of Xiabiancheng, Yang Jun's lieutenant was tracking down the assassin who assassinated Yang Shi, and at the location of the assassin's assassination, hundreds of soldiers carefully searched, hoping to find some clues.

At the same time, a large number of soldiers were sent in all directions of the city to check all kinds of people in the city, hoping to find suspicious people.

However, the results of the investigation made Yang Jun's lieutenant extremely disappointed, and there was no clue at all at the location of the assassin's assassination, and the soldiers who checked the city did not find any suspicious person at all.

These agile assassins, as if the world had evaporated, disappeared without a trace.

In fact, after Hu Hou and the other six wise men completed the task of assassinating Yang Shi, they quickly left the place where the assassination was carried out, and then, in a hidden location, hid all the murder weapons such as crossbows and poisoned arrows used in the assassination.

In order not to be discovered, Hu Hou and other smart people also changed into beggars' clothes and scattered to various locations in Xiaban City, using begging for a living, thus greatly reducing the probability of being suspected.

Think about it, who cares about an inconspicuous beggar? And it is a deaf and dumb, dirty beggar, therefore, under the strict search of Vice General Yang Jun, Hu Hou and other smart people have never been discovered, thus escaping a catastrophe, which is also a huge advantage of deaf and dumb smart people, not easy to be suspected and discovered, so as to be more suitable for dangerous and hidden tasks.

On the way back to Xiafen City, Yang An gathered the soldiers who had fallen behind when he was chasing Yang Songnu, and in just a few hours, the five hundred cavalry were all gathered together, and none of them were missing.

"Major General, look, there's a group of men and horses approaching ahead." A subordinate general pointed to the smoke and dust raised in the direction of Xiafen City and said loudly.

Yang An looked up in the direction where the smoke and dust were raised, and said softly: "It seems that there are only a few dozen horses, most of them are scouts sent by my father to investigate, let's go up and have a look." After speaking, he led five hundred cavalry and rode up to meet him. (To be continued......)
