Chapter 83: The Truth II

On the road leading from Liyang to the fortress of Hungya, a cavalry team of 5,000 men was galloping rapidly. And at the forefront of this cavalry team, a slightly old figure on a horse, also had an anxious expression on his face at this moment. This slightly old figure was none other than Yi Qi, the fifth elder of the Yi family, and behind him was the most elite cavalry team of the Western Qin Principality. And the reason why Yi Qi was in such a hurry at the moment was all from a message he got ten days ago.

Ten days ago, Yi Ying rescued a dying man on the hillside of the annex. After the timely rescue of the five elders, the man finally barely saved his life. After questioning, the Fifth Elder and Yi Ying learned that this person was the soldier sent by Yi Han to ask for help. After finding Yi Han's handwritten letter on this soldier's body and opening it for viewing, the five elders and Yi Ying were all taken aback. The five elders went to the palace to see the lord of the country, Ling Zhi, to report the situation, while Yi Ying began to secretly investigate the mastermind behind the interception and killing of the soldiers asking for help.

After understanding the seriousness of the situation, Ling Zhi quickly mobilized 5,000 of the most elite cavalry of Western Qin and handed them over to the five elders, asking him to lead these cavalry to the Hungarian fortress to support. And just as the five elders were about to set off, Yi Ying collected some simple information. However, it was this simple information that also made Yi Ying realize the seriousness and complexity of the matter. When the five elders were leaving, Yi Ying also handed over this information to the five elders. After reading this information, the five elders also realized that this incident was definitely not as simple as it seemed. After letting Yi Ying stay in Liyang to continue to investigate the truth secretly, the five elders also rushed to the Hun Fortress day and night with 5,000 cavalry and the information in their hands.

On the second day after Yi Han's successful breakthrough, Nie Xia and Ling Huxian actually succeeded in breaking through at the same time. After the breakthrough, Hu Xian's cultivation was raised by a small order, from the original eighth order of the Zhizhi Realm to the ninth order of the Zhizhi Realm. And Nie Xia and the three of them successfully crossed the barrier between the Convergence Realm and the Divine Realm this time, and reached the initial stage of the Divine Realm. Seeing the success of the four of them, Yi Han's joy was beyond words. However, Nie Xia and Ling Huxian knew very well in their hearts that the reason why they were able to advance so smoothly this time was that this elixir contributed by Yi Han was definitely inextricably linked.

Seeing that all the people had not only recovered their health, but also improved their cultivation, Yi Shui's mood was also much more relaxed. After congratulating a few people, Yi Shui invited everyone into the handsome hall. After Yi Han and the others sat down, Yi Shui instructed the soldiers outside the door to invite the commander of the reinforcements. Then, under the puzzled eyes of Yi Han and the others, Yi Shui took out a stack of reports with a serious face and handed them to Yi Han and the others.

After receiving the information handed by Yi Shui, Yi Han and the others looked at it seriously, and Yi Shui sat at Yi Han's head with an expressionless face. As he carefully read the report in his hand, Yi Han's faces began to become unnatural, and the hand holding the report trembled slightly due to the change in mood.

"Alas, that's true!" Yi Han sighed after reading the report in his hand, then closed his eyes and leaned back on the back of the chair behind him. At this moment, the faces of the three Nie Xia also became solemn, and the expression on Ling Huxian's face was completely frozen.

"Ahh Looking at the emotional Ling Huxian, Yi Han also stood up and came to him. Stretching out his hand and patting Ling Huxian's shoulder, Yi Han turned his head to Yi Shui and asked, "Have you arranged the future of the brothers and civilians?"

Standing up and hugging his fist at Yi Han, Yi Shui said with a serious face: "Back to the marshal, the aftermath of sacrificing soldiers and civilians has been all arranged." In addition, for the bereavement of all the deceased, I also arranged all the arrangements on behalf of the marshal. ”

Just when Yi Shui was reporting the specific situation to Yi Han, the commander of the reinforcements also came to the marshal hall.

"The last general, Li Liang, see Marshal Yi Han!"

Glancing at the commander of the reinforcements in front of him, Yi Han picked him up with a faint smile, and then asked him with a smile: "When did General Li Liang come to serve in the army? Why have I never seen you in the army?"

Hearing Yi Han's question, Li Liang was obviously flustered, and then he replied to Yi Han in a little panic: "Marshal Hui, the last general was only a deputy general before, and he was only recently appointed as the commander of the reinforcements. ”

"Oh! I see. But in the past, you were only a lieutenant general, so why was you appointed commander of the reinforcements this time? And given your age and cultivation, I am afraid that you are not qualified for the post of commander of the reinforcements, right? Tell me! Are you hiding something from us?"

Although Yi Han's face was still smiling at this moment, everyone felt it, and the temperature in the handsome hall was obviously much lower than just now. Looking at Yi Han in front of him with a frightened face, Li Liang knelt down in front of Yi Han as soon as his legs became weak.

"Easy... Easy... Marshal Yi Han, at this time, I really don't blame the last general, it was General Pang Kui who ordered us not to march. The last general is only acting on orders, and the marshal can ask General Yi Shui if he is not limited to new ones. ”

Hearing Li Liang's words, all the people turned their eyes to Yi Shui, looked at everyone's puzzled eyes, and then looked at Li Liang who was kneeling on the ground trembling. Yi Shui let out a long breath, then stood up and told Yi Han and the others the truth of the matter.

It turned out that Yi Shui returned to the Yi family in Liyang about a month ago, and when he learned that Yi Han's father and son were actually expelled from the Yi family by everyone, Yi Shui quarreled with his father Yi Qiang, and then left Liyang directly and rushed to Biansai. However, just when Yi Shui was about to arrive at the Hungarian Fortress, he found that a large number of troops were stationed in the Shayu City behind the Hungarian Fortress. At this time, the battle of the Hungarian fortress broke out, and 2,000 recruits escorted more than 7,000 refugees to Shayu City. After seeing this situation in the air, Yi Shui temporarily stopped and entered the Sand Jade City.

After entering Shayu City, Yi Shui did not show up, but hid in the shadows to observe the situation in the city. After 2,000 recruits escorted the refugees into Shayu City, seeing that there were so many troops stationed here, they instinctively thought that reinforcements had come to support. In addition to being happy, the commander among the recruits also asked to meet the commander of the reinforcements, Pang Kui, and when he saw that the commander of the reinforcements was actually Yi Qiang's confidant Pang Kui, Yi Shui immediately guessed something.

After learning about the situation of the Hungarian fortress from the mouths of these recruits, Pang Kui not only did not order a large army to reinforce the precarious fortress, but ordered his army to surround the two thousand recruits. In the end, Pang Kui charged these recruits with rebellion, and directly ordered his army to hang these recruits. However, before Pang Kui's army could make a move, Yi Shui stood up in time.

After effortlessly subduing Pang Kui, Yi Shui quickly stabilized the 30,000 troops in front of him with the help of Pang Kui's hostage in his hand and his prestige in the Western Qin Principality. However, just as Yi Shui had just stabilized the army, an attack from the shadows also ended Pang Kui's life. Although he really wanted to chase the murderer who killed Pang Kui, he learned that the war in the Hungarian fortress was tight, and Yi Shui had no choice but to give up this plan.

After knocking on the mountain and killing several of Pang Kui's descendants, Yi Shui directly appointed Li Liang as the temporary commander of the reinforcements, and led an army of 30,000 to aid the Hungarian fortress. Then Yi Shui rushed to the Hungarian Fortress first, and everyone knew what happened after that.

After listening to Yi Shui's narration, Yi Han's faces were full of shock, and after a while, this shock also turned into endless anger. 'Pong' stood up a few steps and came to Li Liang's approach, and Ling Huxian grabbed him by the collar. Staring at Li Liang in front of him with red eyes, Hu Xian's two hands kept trembling, and then his angry roar resounded in the handsome hall.

"Why!??Why don't you send reinforcements!?Do you know what you have done? Pity my 20,000 soldiers who fought bloodily and waited for reinforcements, but you were indifferent. If you can reinforce in time, my 20,000 good sons and daughters of Western Qin will not have to die tragically at the hands of the demon soul. Why? Why did they fight for the people of Western Qin, but in the end they were guillotined by you executioners. You return the lives of my 20,000 brothers, you murderers, I will kill you today to comfort the souls of my 20,000 brothers in heaven. ”

A punch knocked Li Liang to the ground, causing Hu Xian to pull out the long sword under his ribs and step forward, and the sword light flashed and stabbed Li Liang's choked throat. Sitting on the ground trembling and watching the long sword that Ling Huxian stabbed at him, Li Liang also closed his eyes in despair. However, just as the long sword in Ling Huxian's hand was about to stab Li Liang, a powerful big hand also grabbed his wrist. Ling Huxian turned his head to look and realized that it was Yi Han who grabbed his wrist at this moment. Looking at Yi Han who stopped him, Ling Huxian asked with some anger, "Marshal, what do you mean by this?"

Dodging the long sword in Ling Huxian's hand, looking at his angry eyes, Yi Han said with some helplessness and guilt and shame: "He is not a murderer, if I guess correctly, the real murderer is actually me and Tianxing." ”

Hearing Yi Han's words, Hu Xian also guessed the truth of eight or nine points, after all, Yi Han and the affairs of his family are also well known in Xiqin. With a long sigh of relief, Ling Huxian said to Yi Han with a guilty face: "Marshal! If the marshal hadn't arrived in time, I would have sacrificed my life for the country. As for Tianxing, he is not wrong, although he is still a child, but he has protected so many people, I am afraid that even I can't do this. If it weren't for the marshal, your father and son who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die several times, I'm afraid that the Hungarian fortress would have been breached long ago. As for the real murderer, the marshal just didn't say that I could guess who it was, so the marshal didn't have to feel guilty. ”

Looking at the situation in front of them, Nie Xia and the three of them glanced at each other, and immediately stepped forward and began to persuade the two. In the end, under the circle of Nie Xia and the three of them, Yi Han and Ling Huxian could be regarded as letting go of the burden in their hearts, and Li Liang was lucky to pick up a life.

At this time, a masked figure in the Yi family of Liyang City also walked out of Yi Qiang's room, and at the same time, there was one more Rongkong Stone in his hand than before he came. Looking at the masked man who left quickly, Yi Qiang's face also had a gloomy and ruthless face.
