Chapter 769: The Family Is Broken
The next day, the smoke billowed in the city of Bianliang, the fire of Nangong's house overnight has not been extinguished, and the towering and majestic "Qianqiu Tower" in the past has now turned into a black ruin, reflecting the decay and desolation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Hundreds of people up and down the Nangong family, almost all of them died tragically under Meng Yuan's knife, except for Nangong Jiao, who escaped through the tunnel and didn't know where to go, none of the others were lucky......
At the end of the hour, the courtyard of the Murong family, Bishui Yao Pond......
After a night of slaughter, Murong Zun died heroically, and his wife died with martyrdom, although he did not suffer the same bloodbath as the Nangong family, but the status of the Murong family also existed in name only.
Even if he killed his parents with his own hands, Murong Xin now seems to have completely lost his humanity, and he is extremely cold-blooded and crazy. According to Wang Dasheng, since his father died, he naturally inherited the status of the head of the Murong family - his "goal" was achieved, everything the Murong family had obtained, but it was stained with the blood of his biological parents, and Murong Xin had an indescribable bitterness in his heart, which was a kind of numbness and hesitation for the heinous crimes he had committed......
Now Murong Xin is dressed in the outfit of the imperial court officialdom and officially "takes over" the Murong family, accompanied by Wang Dasheng's army, and it seems that he has to do something......
"General, the Nangong family has found ......" A guard quietly leaned into Wang Dasheng's ear and counted, "The body of Nangong Ce, the second son of the Nangong family, was found in the Nangong family's tunnel......"
"That's it......" Wang Dasheng seemed to be thinking in his heart, "In this way, except for Nangong Jun, everyone in the Nangong family is dead, right...... Hmph, very good, the Nangong family will be destroyed, now as long as you wait for Nangong Jun's eyes to come to revenge, General Wuliang's task will be completed...... By the way, have you done what I ordered you to send?"
"That's done, ......General," the guard continued, "everything is fine, as long as nothing happens, it should be delivered to the vanguard camp by noon......
"Very good, everything is planned smoothly...... Wang Dasheng said with a hint of evil, "Nangong Jun, as well as Murong Fei, should be regarded as a gift to you, in order to 'compensate' for the 'hurried farewell' outside the city the night before, hum ......"
It seems that there is a conspiracy in this......
At the "Bishui Yao Pond", Murong Xin stood at the entrance of the main road, looking at the crystal clear pond on weekdays, but his heart was very stuffy. In front of Murong Xin, there were two people who were tightly bound and kneeling on the ground, and there were also Meng Yuan officers and soldiers escorted with knives next to him, looking very uncomfortable.
I only heard one of them speak: "Big brother, you let us go, we are willing to listen to your ......"
It turned out that these two people were none other than Murong Xin's two younger brothers, the second brother Murong Xiao and the third brother Murong Tiefeng. Although he has become the leader of the Murong family, after all, he is stained with the blood of his parents, and the great rebellion is not spread to the public. And his two younger brothers secretly competed with him for power and profit in the past, and if he continued to stay by his side, he would be a disaster...... Wang Dasheng knew this reason, and the Nangong family was destroyed, so he sent troops to the Murong family to detain Murong Xiao and Murong Tiefeng in time......
"Don't call me big brother, I killed my father and mother, and committed a great crime of rebellion, if you look at the righteousness of the world, I am a vicious scum......" Murong Xin didn't look at his two younger brothers directly, and whispered without godliness, "So, by analogy, if you are too close to me, I will kill you too...... You have been secretly fighting with me in your days, and you have formed a bond with each other, and now that I am in the high position of the army, it is easy to kill you, and now you are kneeling like dogs and begging for mercy, why do you have to do it?"
"You...... What do you want?" asked Murong Xiaodou.
Murong Xin shook his head, his thoughts were a little confused, and he said, "I don't know...... I don't want to kill people anymore, let alone my own siblings...... But if I don't kill you, you will kill me one day, and you will kill me for the crime of killing my relatives...... Ahh
Good siblings, but now they have become sinister and calculating enemies of each other, and their fate is terrible, not counting the destruction of their families, but they also demagogue, good and evil, and brothers kill each other......
"That's right, if you don't kill them, they will kill you one day......" Who knows, at this time, Wang Dasheng walked past with a sneer, put a knife on Murong Tiefeng's neck, and looked at Murong Xindao with a smile, "Those who become big things can be killed!" Now that you are the leader of the Murong family, you should no longer leave disasters around you, even if it is your own relatives, who have calculated and framed themselves, you should not hesitate to eradicate them, otherwise there will be endless disasters in the future-"
Murong Xin listened to Wang Dasheng's words, and his heart ached even more, but there was a little more fierceness in his eyes.
"Look at the predecessors, history is a mirror, even Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty sang praises of virtue, didn't he also take the throne with the blood of his own brothers?" Wang Dasheng continued to instigate, "You don't want to be despised and laughed at by the world......, do you?
Murong Xin held the knife, but he didn't react for a long time - he seemed to be very scared, saying that he had killed his parents, but after all, the person who wielded the knife with his own hand was not himself...... And now, he is his own brother who wants to really kill himself, but Murong Xin can't do anything......
And Murong Xiao and Murong Tiefeng, who were kneeling on the ground helplessly, looked at Murong Xin with nervous expressions, and the two brothers knew that Murong Xin's choice would determine the fate of the two brothers......
"Are you still hesitating......" Wang Dasheng closed his eyes, as if he was about to make a move......
"Rub-" "Ah-" Suddenly, Wang Dasheng's hand rose and fell, without any warning, and a sharp blade roared, taking Murong Tiefeng's life right in the middle. Murong Tiefeng screamed miserably, and died tragically in a pool of blood......
"Third brother!-" Murong Xiao couldn't help but shout loudly when he saw the third brother die tragically, but it was too late.
Murong Xin was also shocked, he didn't expect his younger brother to die tragically in front of his eyes like this - the red under his eyes, the knife edge was constantly dripping with blood, and the aftermath of the screams lingered for a long time, making Murong Xin panic for a moment......
"It's like this...... "Wang Dasheng finished killing, but he still had a cold-blooded and ruthless smile, no matter who the other party was, the murderous eyes were not in a hurry and his heart was not beating, and it was really Wang Dasheng's style, "Now it's your turn, use your own knife to decide your fate......" After speaking, Wang Dasheng looked at Murong Xin who was wandering and hesitating.
Murong was holding a knife in his hand, but his hands were trembling. Blood continued to fill his nerves, and at this moment, Murong Xin himself was also mentally numb in terror and pain......
However, an unexpected scene...... "Murong Xin, you brute!" Murong Xiao, who was still afraid of death on the side just now, seemed to be out of the way this time, knelt on the ground, raised his head and scolded Murong Xin, "For the sake of your own future, you did not hesitate to collude with the Mengyuan Imperial Court, killing your father and mother, and killing your own brother, you are simply in vain!"
Murong Xin heard his younger brother's curse, and for some reason, the blood in his brain rushed up.
Murong Xiao didn't seem to have scolded enough, anyway, today was a mortal situation, Murong Xiao seemed to want to vent all his curses and grievances against Murong Xin during his lifetime: "You are a brute, a scum, you have lost all the face of the Murong family! Even if you get the position of the Murong family, I will curse you for everything in this life! If you go down to the Yellow Spring, our Murong family will not let you go- In the Netherworld, I will tear your body into ten thousand pieces and throw you into the purgatory furnace, I will dig out your heart and liver, gnaw your bones, and make you suffer from ten thousand arrows in this life and the next! I will make you ......."
However, Murong Xin's eyes were bloodshot, and without waiting for Murong Xiao to finish speaking, he roared and swung away.
"Ahh
However, Murong Xin didn't seem to stop there, even though his younger brother had already died, the knife in his hand still didn't stop......
"Ahh......h Ah......h With every slash, Murong Xin roared, and blood splattered on his face, looking extremely frenzied......
"Whew...... Call...... ...... "It wasn't until he cut his brother's body into a bloody blur that Murong Xin stopped and stood aside, panting in horror - now Murong Xin is completely crazy, and he did not hesitate to kill his parents and brothers for his "future......
Wang Dasheng watched it from the side, and sneered: "That's right, if you want to achieve great things, you must not care about the feelings of flesh and blood......
Murong Xin didn't speak, but just looked at the tragic scene of the bloody corpse with frightened eyes, dropped the knife in his hand, and stood in place for a long time without coming back to his senses. The blood on his hands slowly fell along his fingers, and the blood of his own blood blade brothers stained the crystal clear "Bishui Yao Pool" in the past......
After a night, Nangong Murong was slaughtered, and the nobles who were once prosperous for a lifetime now ended up with their families ruined......
Outside Bianliang City, at the foot of Liangweng Mountain, the pioneer barracks......
"Knock...... Boom...... Boom...... Knock ......" "Dash Dash...... Da Da Da ...... Da ...... "The battalion and colonel, the sound of war drums and horses' hooves is constantly stacked, and the battle of Bianliang is imminent, and the vanguard army led by Tang Zhan is still stepping up training for the "Five Absolute Formations" in order to do the final training. The officers and men in the battalion were also full of ambition, and the infantry and cavalry phalanx were in an orderly manner, as if they were on the battlefield, and their morale was high......
Needless to say, Tang Zhan commanded as the main general, and the most uplifting in the training array was Zhao Zichuan - he was determined to avenge his wife and eldest brother, his spirit was uplifted, his expression was calm, and he seemed to be impatient to wave his troops in the next moment and kill the enemy Wuliang Todo on the battlefield with his own hands.
Lu Jing is the same, swearing to the dead Li Yuru, to himself, and to all the people around him that in the battle of Bianliang, he will definitely go all out, raise troops to take the city, and return home victorious......
However, not all of them are so excited, Nangong Jun and Murong Fei, for some reason, today's training seems to be a little out of shape. It's not that there was anything wrong with the marching array, but I just felt that Nangong Murong and the others did not drive the morale of the whole army - not only did they not say a word in the morning training, but when they attacked the phalanx training, their own mounts were also in the formation, and they rarely stepped forward......
It was almost noon, and the soldiers rested for a while in the middle of the training, and all the soldiers were able to breathe, and Nangong Jun and Murong Fei were no exception......
Walking back to the tent, others also felt that Nangong Murong and the others were not in the right spirit, especially Nangong Jun, who returned to the tent from the school field, and bowed his head silently alone. He has a lot of words on weekdays, but he looks lifeless, as if he has an inexplicable heart knot......
"What happened to Brother Nangong?" Outside the camp gate, Xiao Tian said with some doubts, "I was fine when I led the troops out the day before yesterday, but when I came back from the jungle outside the city, I became like this, and I was not interested in training......
"Could it be that I didn't sleep last night......" Su Jia remembered what Nangong Jun had woken up at night last night, and muttered silently.
"If you haven't slept well, Jia'er, you seem to be ...... too" Xiao Tian looked at Su Jia's expression and seemed to be in a trance, and couldn't help but care, "Last night, you patrolled and kept vigil, Jia'er, you didn't rest well......
Who knows, Su Jia teased on the side: "I think everyone is like you......?
The two of them were still concerned about Nangong Jun's state, and in the middle of the camp, Hu Yidi flew over quickly for some reason, looking nervous, as if he had something important to tell him.
"Why did you only come back now?" Xiao Tian watched Hu Yidi respond in the morning, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't you be arranged to be stationed in front of the city last night to observe the movements of the enemy army?
Last night, Hu Yidi led the reconnaissance to stay in front of Bianliang City for a night, intending to observe the movements of the Mengyuan defenders, and stayed all night. However, when he returned early this morning, Hu Yidi's expression was solemn, and it seemed that things were not so simple.
"On the contrary...... "Hu Yidi said in a scripture, "last night, in Bianliang City, it seems that something terrible happened—"
"Big deal?" Xiao Tian continued to ask, "What's the big deal, you're so nervous......
"I haven't been to Bianliang, so I don......'t know," Hu Yidi continued, "Let me ask you, is the tall white tower in Bianliang City very famous?"
"High ...... White Tower?" Xiao Tian asked with a little confusion.
"What he said should be the 'Qianqiu Tower' of the Nangong family......" Su Jia answered on the side, "You forgot, when we went to Bianliang two years ago, Brother Huang Ji mentioned to us - the 'Qianqiu Tower' of the Nangong family, the landmark building of Bianliang......"
"Oh, it seems that there is such a thing, I almost forgot about it......" Xiao Tian patted his head, and then asked Hu Yidi, "Yes, what's wrong with that tower?"
Hu Yidi looked nervous, "That tower last night...... It's burning—"
"Huh?" Xiao Tian and Su Jia said in surprise at the same time.
"What do you mean, burn...... Got up?" Xiao Tian didn't quite understand.
"It was last night that there was a fire in the city!" Hu Yidi emphatically said, "The fire burned all night, and the white tower was surrounded by fire, and the flames were not extinguished until dawn......
"Last night in the city...... On fire, or are you ...... the 'Thousand Autumn Tower'?" Su Jia asked with some uneasiness.
"Yes, it should be good there, it burned all night, and you can smell the soot outside the city, it's terrible......," Hu Yidi gradually recalled yesterday's scene.
"Hey, what the hell is going on in the city, haven't you gone to see it?" Xiao Tian also gradually realized that something was wrong, and asked nervously.
"How do I get in?" Hu Yidi said with his hand open, "The war is imminent, and now the people of the entire Bianliang City are panicked, and the whole city is confined, so there is no chance to sneak into the city......
"The 'Qianqiu Tower' is in the Nangong compound, where it is all on fire, can it be said that ......" Su Jia unconsciously had a terrible thought in her heart......
"What are you talking about here?" Tang Zhan and Lu Jing only came back from the school at this time, looking at Xiao Tian and the others chatting here with "interest", and seeing that Hu Yidi had only returned to the camp at this time, he couldn't help asking, "Hu Yidi, you let you reconnoiter the enemy in front of the city last night, why did you come back now?"
"Sister Jing, something terrible has happened in Bianliang...... Su Jia turned her head and said nervously at Lu Jing, "There was a fire in the city last night, and the Nangong family's 'Qianqiu Tower' burned up-"
"What are you talking about, the fire? or ...... at Nangong's house" Lu Jing seemed to realize something, and her eyes couldn't help but widen......
"General Tang, the military advisor, and the enemy envoy sent someone to deliver a package-" As he spoke, a messenger soldier suddenly ran to him and reported to Tang Zhan and the others, "It is said that it is the 'former gift' sent by Wang Dasheng, the general of Bianliang, before the war, and the ...... to the two generals of Nangong Murong."
When Lu Jing heard this, she couldn't help but feel stunned...... (To be continued.) )
