Chapter 754: Punishment

After a while, the group returned to the barracks, and when they were about to disperse, Lan Feng specially invited Lin Xuanzhong to have dinner with the others.

Faced with Lan Feng's invitation as a friend, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't say anything to refuse, and the others had no reason to refuse, but they all knew that Lan Feng's kindness was not so simple.

Of course, Lan Feng did have some intentions in inviting Lin Xuanzhong and the others to a banquet, but Lan Feng also did nothing wrong. Among the princes, Lan Feng may be the first to go to war with the army, and he is the one with the most outstanding performance, so all this naturally makes Lan Feng particularly prominent among the many crown princes.

At present, the Night Kingdom is growing, and the atmosphere of the battle for the prince will definitely rise in the future, and Lan Feng is naturally trying to win over Lin Xuanzhong now for the position of the crown prince.

On the way to the place where Lan Feng set up a banquet, Lin Xuanzhong only felt that his current identity brought infinite pressure. On the other side, what Lan Feng felt was the power of power, and a word decided the life and death of tens of millions of people, so this status naturally became the pursuit of Lan Feng, who was born in the royal family. In order to achieve that pursuit, what Lan Feng has to do is to try his best to find help.

At present, there are frequent wars, and the biggest help Lan Feng needs is naturally in the military camp, based on the relationship with Lin Xuanzhong who knew him earlier, Lin Xuanzhong, who is now in full swing, is naturally the best choice for Lan Feng. Looking at the entire eastern army, the young Lin Xuanzhong is not only the main general, but also highly regarded by Zhao Xu and others. If he can make friends with Lin Xuanzhong, it will be of great benefit to Lan Feng to compete for the position of prince in the future, so in public and private, Lan Feng must have a good relationship with Lin Xuanzhong.

From before to now, whenever Lan Feng and Lin Xuanzhong were talking, Fang Qing, Ni Youbin and the others could feel that aura full of power, and they couldn't interject at all, so they could only listen to it from the side.

That meal was quite lively, even if Lin Xuanzhong didn't have anything to say to Lan Feng, but Fang Qing couldn't help but give Lan Feng face, so there was no embarrassing situation from beginning to end.

After eating a meal and separating from the others, Lin Xuanzhong returned to his residence alone, and he was going to go to Yidu tomorrow, and Lin Xuanzhong wanted to go back and prepare. Unlike Lin Xuanzhong, Fang Qing, Ni Youbin, and Ling Zimo were not on the expedition because their injuries were not all good, so the three of them planned to return to Ling's house.

Lin Xuanzhong felt a little sorry that he couldn't go to the Ling family with Fang Qing and them, but the letter Ling Zimo received last time said that Ling Ziyu had gone out to find his long-lost father, and the head of the Ling family had been helping the Ni family Chamber of Commerce recently, so if he went to the Ling family, he could only visit the Ling Zixin sisters who were not sure if they were at home.

Compared with this luck, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to go to Yidu more, because there was a woman there that Lin Xuanzhong wanted to see again. Unfortunately, when the two meet again, one of them may die. Although Ruan Ming and others were the main cause of Yu Tong's death, in his heart, Lin Xuanzhong still hoped that Zhao Xu could give them a way to live. It's just that about how to deal with Ruan Ming and other special prisoners, the specific situation will not be known until after going to Yidu.

After returning to the residence, he cleaned up briefly, and then had nothing to do, Lin Xuanzhong practiced swordsmanship in the courtyard again. For more than a month, based on the influence of various aspects, in terms of swordsmanship, Lin Xuanzhong can still feel that his swordsmanship has improved, at least now he understands what sword momentum is and what role sword momentum is.

There seems to be some progress in footwork, but there is always a problem that has not been clear, the six steps and eight desolations may be like the deduction technique cultivated by Xue Yin, which can only be practiced with the help of external forces, but unfortunately now Lin Xuanzhong is not even clear about what the external force he needs.

Practicing swords until the evening, because no one came to visit, Lin Xuanzhong rested early. Early the next morning, when Lin Xuanzhong and other generals went outside the city to reorganize their troops, the 100,000-strong army was already lined up outside the city. The soldiers of the three battalions were still mostly foot soldiers, followed by archers, and the cavalry was the least.

A big battle with the coalition army made the night army reap a lot of harvest, the war horses and weapons have far exceeded the needs, and the grain and grass are not a problem, so the conditions for the expansion of the army are very perfect.

As the commander of the three armies, the complete capture of the Wing Kingdom is a matter of great importance, Zhao Xu naturally had to be present in person, accompanied by Lin Xuanzhong and Fang Quyin, the two main generals, and the other three generals will be Zhang Daring as the leader while sitting in Fancheng, while assisting the right minister to complete the corresponding affairs of ruling the northern cities.

When the army set off, Ruan Sihai took some personnel in the city to see him off in person, indirectly or directly expressing to Zhao Xu that he hoped that the Night Kingdom would not severely punish their royal family. Of course, Ruan Sihai knew very well that it was not for Zhao Xu to decide how to deal with the royal family of the Wing Kingdom, Ruan Sihai just wanted to do more for those clan relatives.

After leaving Fancheng, the 100,000 army escorted Tie Xin, Shi Jiangchuan and others, as well as the tens of thousands of soldiers, rushed straight to the wing two hundred miles away.

It was five days to leave, five days ago, the royal family of the Wing Kingdom had received the news of the night army's troops, and the former Wing Emperor, who had already abdicated and expressed his submission to the night country, took the royal family to wait for the arrival of the night army in the deserted palace early in the morning on the day the night army arrived in the Wing City.

In the past month, many members of the royal family fled from the palace for fear that the Night Kingdom would execute them, and for those people, Emperor Yihuang's view was that once they escaped from the palace, they would no longer have anything to do with the Ruan family, and whether those people lived or died had nothing to do with the Ruan family.

The Wing Emperor was powerless to stop those from escaping, but he did not forget to warn those who would stay that the more people who escaped, the more likely they were to be severely punished. Moreover, the Wing Emperor also held some prisoners, who were the same people who attacked the night army's food and grass team in the first place. Although two or three months have passed since that incident, that incident is not really in the past, and the Wing Emperor knows very well that the Night Kingdom will not forget this matter, and this time he will definitely investigate the matter, so the Wing Emperor has arrested all the people involved early and prepared to hand them over to the Night Army for disposal.

The ten people rescued by Ruan Sihai at the beginning, now there are a lot of them, those people in the past can take the initiative to sacrifice themselves for the Wing Country, and now they are not afraid of dying again, but whether they die or live, the Wing Kingdom will no longer exist from now on.

The people in the city opened the city gate early in the morning, and there was not a single flag of the Wing Kingdom on the city, nor a single soldier wearing a stubborn one, and now there were all ordinary people in the Wing City, and they all looked panicked. They have made a gesture of complete submission to the Night Kingdom, but they are still worried that the Night Army will kill them when they come.

Many city residents are still hiding at home because of the arrival of the night army, not daring to go out, the streets are closed, there are few people, and the most lively market on weekdays is even more deserted than in the middle of the night. Like the city gate, the gate of the palace has long been opened, and today will be the most humiliating day of their lives for the Wing Emperor and those members of the royal family, but those who remain, one by one, still have the idea of doing the last thing for the Wing Country, and everyone has put their lives and deaths aside, just waiting for the moment to decide their fate.

When the night army entered Yicheng, Zhao Xu divided part of his forces, directly occupied the northern city gate, and then rushed straight to the palace with the remaining troops.

Jin Ge Iron Horse, the army brought by Zhao Xu today is all the elite of the night army, not only equipped with sophisticated weapons, but even some war horses are armed with armor, and those armor used to arm war horses are all obtained from the Yang army. Perhaps Yang Guo is not good at fighting, but he does have outstanding advantages in ordnance manufacturing.

After comparing the weapons of the Yang Kingdom with the weapons of the original night army, Zhao Xu directly ordered some of the soldiers to change to the weapons of the Yang Kingdom, from soldiers to war horses, most of the night troops are now fully armed, and the formation of the 100,000 army looks stronger than the 200,000 army.

After joining the army for more than a year, it was the first time Lin Xuanzhong had seen such a terrifying military appearance, and the momentum displayed by the night army alone was enough to make people fearful. Unexpectedly, the Night Army was already so powerful, and when he looked at those soldiers who were all hidden in armor, Lin Xuanzhong's eyes were only surprised.

The current army of 100,000 has indeed shown a new side after going through ups and downs, but it only feels strange to Lin Xuanzhong.

Tens of thousands of night armies marched through the city unhindered, as many of the city's citizens hid in their homes, and the whole city looked like a dead city. Still, the empty streets couldn't stop the Night Army from dissipating the remaining chill in the city.

When the sun was up, Zhao Xu gave an order, and tens of thousands of troops stopped directly in front of the palace gate, and in front of them were royal personnel lined up, large and small, men and women, all looking at the night army that finally arrived.

In the middle of that, the Wing Emperor held the jade seal of the Wing Country, with a calm face. Behind the royal family, there were also former officials who decided to live and die with the royal family. Now as soon as Zhao Xu arrived with the army, the Wing Emperor immediately led everyone to kneel down and prepare for any punishment from the Night Kingdom.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the monarch of the Yiguo country is mediocre and incompetent, afraid of the prestige of the Qingyuan power, and repeatedly sends a large army to invade our country and hurt our people, and his crime should be punished. But the Emperor of the Wing confessed his guilt sincerely, took the initiative to descend to my night country, and no longer raised troops to resist, the emperor decided to deal with leniently, and abolished all royal personnel on the same day, degraded to the border, and the three generations were not allowed to cultivate martial arts, if it violated the holy will, it should be killed. ”

The meaning of Lan Ze's decree is probably as follows: first, to point out the fault of the Wing Country's crusade against the Night Country, and then to explain the correctness of the Wing Country's voluntary surrender, and then to announce the punishment of the Wing Kingdom's royal family members based on the above two points.
