Chapter 419: Repaying it with blood
"Kill, leave no one."
Li Yong's gaze became grim, these people in black who were in the way, and Shen Mei, the traitor, all deserved to die.
This is a mortal war, but the people in black and Shen Mei did not flinch, they fearlessly stuck in front of the city gate, raised the weapons in their hands, and came to kill one by one, and one by one.
The corpses on the ground were piling up more and more, and their movements were getting slower and slower, and their physical strength was almost exhausted.
"Poof..."
A black-clothed man vomited blood, with an arrow stuck in his chest, and fell.
fell one, as if tearing a hole open, the enemy's offensive became more and more intense, and gradually, more and more black-clothed people fell on the ground, and finally only the leader of the black-clothed people and Shen Mei remained.
The two of them didn't last long before they were pierced through the body with spears by a dozen soldiers.
Even though their bodies were full of spears, even if they closed their eyes lifelessly, their bodies still stood in front of the city gate, looking so majestic and tragic.
Li Xuan couldn't help but wipe his face, and he didn't know if he was wiping the rain or tears on his face, thank you for saving Weiwei.
Yang Bohan and the others couldn't help but cast admiring glances at the city gate.
Li Yong shouted loudly: "When you go out of the city, you must arrest Xiao Lingwei for me." ”
The soldiers pulled out the spears from Shen Mei and the leader of the men in black, pushed them down, and then rushed to the city gate with their corpses.
The heavy city gate opened, and the soldiers poured out of the city like a tidal wave, chasing in the direction of Xiao Lingwei's escape.
After chasing for two miles, Li Yong ran into the general of the camp in the southern suburbs, "Have you caught Xiao Lingwei?" ”
The general shook his head: "We came all the way, but we didn't find any trace of Xiao Lingwei." ”
"What? Didn't find it? Li Yong covered his chest with his hand, and the wound that had been slightly stabbed by Xiao Ling began to hurt again.
Suo Meng saw that something was wrong with him, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, are you okay?" ”
Li Yong waved his hand, held back the pain, and said, "I'm fine." Then he gave an order: "Pass my order, all the soldiers will conduct a comprehensive search, not an inch of land can be spared, even if it is three feet into the ground, Xiao Lingwei must be found out for me and killed on the spot." ”
"Yes."
"General Suo, the next operation will be under your command, and I will go back to the palace first and report to my father."
"Yes, Your Highness."
So, Suo Meng took the soldiers and left.
Li Yong stopped Li Xuan, Yang Bohan and the others, "You go back to the palace with me to resume your life." ”
......
Looking at the row of people kneeling on the ground, the emperor couldn't help but be furious: "You... One is an invincible veteran who has gone through the battlefield, the other is the god of war who guards the border pass and terrifies the Turks, and one or two are not majestic when they call for wind and rain on the battlefield, but when they arrive in the capital, they can't even catch a little girl?
"You're so good, huh?
"And the two of you, you are good sons who I have personally cultivated, I didn't expect you to be able to worry about me, what have you learned over the years?"
The emperor pointed at them, his fingers trembling with anger: "You... I gave you thousands of troops and horses, and you finally gave me such a result, and people actually ran away? ”
"Father." Li Yong couldn't help but explain: "It's Xiao Lingwei who is too cunning, and she has a lot of helpers around her, all of them are strong in martial arts, and they are not comparable to our soldiers at all..."
"Even if the martial arts are strong, what about them? Can it be worth thousands of troops? I sent such soldiers that a single spittle could drown them. The emperor's anger did not diminish in the slightest, and he scolded: "There is no need to explain, in short, if you don't catch anyone, you are incompetent." ”
Li Yong opened his mouth, and he couldn't say a word of defense, so he had to bow down and say, "My son is incompetent, please forgive my father." ”
When the others heard this, they immediately followed: "The ministers are incompetent, please forgive your majesty." ”
"You..." Seeing their obedient confession, the emperor became even more angry in his heart, thinking that he had laid a net to lure Xiao Lingwei out with Xiao Linhui and his wife, and he couldn't catch Xiao Lingwei, it was really hateful.
Xiao Linhui? By the way, it was because Xiao Linhui committed suicide and Yang Huijun also committed suicide, that Xiao Lingwei had no worries and killed out of the capital regardless of it.
No, I want them to look good.
What was in his heart, the emperor also said: "... No, I want to hang the bodies of Xiao Linhui and Yang Huijun at the gate of the city, and the wind and sun and heavy rain will wash it for three or five days, I don't believe it, Xiao Lingwei will not come back. ”
"No, Your Majesty."
"No, Father."
Several people shouted in unison.
The emperor looked over, and finally stopped his gaze on Li Xuan's body, and his eyes suddenly became fierce: "Little Four, what are you talking about?" ”
As soon as Li Xuan was about to open his mouth to speak, Yang Bohan preemptively said: "Your Majesty, today's large-scale search and arrest in the whole city has already caused public resentment.
"Although the minister was dismissed from his post and worried at home, our Yang family is by no means a cowardly and incompetent breed, Your Majesty used my little sister and brother-in-law to lure Xiao Lingwei out, once is enough, I will never allow anyone to hurt my little sister and brother-in-law again."
The emperor looked at Yang Bohan with a calm face, but saw that he straightened his waist, and said again in a tone that looked at death as if he were at home: "Yang Huijun is my little sister, although she married into the Xiao family, she is still a loving relative of our Yang family.
"Your Majesty should know very well that our Yang family is loyal to the country, and we can shed blood for the sake of the court and the people. But our Yang family also has a shortcoming, that is, we do not allow others to bully our own family.
"If anyone dares to touch our Yang family, we will repay it with blood."
The emperor's eyes were cloudy, and he squeezed out a few words from his teeth: "You... Threatening me? ”
"I don't dare." Yang Bohan said that he didn't dare, but what he said didn't mean at all: "When the first emperor was alive, although he reprimanded the Yang family for such a thing, he gave the Yang family a spear to inspire us to fight bravely against the enemy and defend the country."
"Also, Prince Huiren also supported our Yang family, saying that if you can't even protect your family, how can you protect the people and protect the country.
"Moreover, if a person dies like a lamp goes out, all the past should be written off, and if Your Majesty does this, it will be disrespectful to the dead.
"An emperor who is disrespectful to the dead, how do you make the subjects of the world submit and love?"
When it comes to Prince Huiren, the emperor's arrogance has disappeared by half, but he is on the throne under the pretext of Prince Huiren's son, his father has said so, can he, who is a "son", still refute it?
In the face of Yang Bohan's tough attitude, the emperor did not speak, but his face was extremely ugly.
Li Yong agrees with the emperor's idea in his heart, but Yang Bohan is also a hard stubble, he has a very high prestige in the army, and his power in the capital cannot be underestimated, if he really resists, it will be another tough battle. My father has just ascended the throne, but he can't stand the toss again and again.
Thinking like this, Li Yong couldn't help but persuade: "Father, the deceased is great..."
