Everyone in the Mingjiao remained silent. None of the people present were fools. Now that the Mingjiao uprising failed, death would not be an accident. However, according to the imperial court's usual practice, they would definitely be sentenced to death as a warning to the world.
"Leader Sun, can you give us some time?"
Lou Minzhong looked at Sun Lei and said.
At this time, Deng Yuanjue was already sitting in front of Fang La's body, reciting sutras for salvation.
"I can give you time, but you can't take Fang La's body away!"
Sun Lei said.
"What do you mean!"
Shi Bao looked at Sun Lei and asked, Fang La is dead, does Sun Lei want to destroy his body?
"Shi Bao!"
Lou Minzhong glared at Shi Bao fiercely. Sun Lei now had the advantage and there was no need to do such a thing.
"Fang La is dead, but the officers and soldiers have not retreated! What should you do with the old, weak, women, children and their families in Yuanyuan Cave?"
Sun Lei pointed in the direction Han Shizhong came from.
The faces of Wang Yin, Shi Bao and others instantly turned pale, and their family members were also helping Yuandong. The old, weak, women and children were not as strong as the young and could not outrun the officers and soldiers.
"You have committed the crime of killing the nine tribes, and the government and army will not spare your family members!"
Sun Lei looked at Lou Minzhong and others and said.
These words directly caused everyone in the Ming Cult to bow their heads in silence, and each one of them was thinking of a solution.
"You want to hand over the Holy Duke's body to the army?"
Lou Minzhong immediately understood what Sun Lei meant. Looking at the corpse that Deng Yuanjue saved, a look of struggle flashed across his face. Although Fang La failed to live up to their expectations, after all, he once led them to resist tyranny.
"It's just a skin. What's more, Fang La is not only saving your family members, he is also saving his own family members and the innocent people of the Ming Cult."
Sun Lei looked at Lou Minzhong and said, Fang La's entire family must be killed by the court.
"Death is like a lamp going out. One corpse can save ten thousand people in the Ming Cult. The Holy Duke will not refuse!"
After reciting the sutra, Deng Yuanjue opened his eyes and said.
Lou Minzhong and others were also silent, which was regarded as acquiescence. It was not that they did not want to bring back Fang La's body, but that the officers and soldiers were pursuing too quickly, and there were too many women and children in Bangyuan Cave.
"Let's go, I don't have much time to delay!"
Sun Lei looked at Lou Minzhong and others and said.
"Walk!"
Lou Minzhong is also a decisive person. Now is not the time to hesitate. Tens of thousands of women and children in Bangyuan Cave are still waiting for them to evacuate.
"Brother, in this battle, we killed Fang La, Fang Qifu, Li Tianrun, Li Tianyou, and Du Wei, and escaped Fang Tianding!"
Jiao Ting came over and said.
"Fang Tianding ran away?"
Sun Lei asked with a frown.
"Seeing that something was wrong, this kid ran into the dense forest and climbed down the mountain. Shi Qian has already gone after him!"
Jiao Ting said.
"Well, let's go meet Han Shizhong!"
Sun Lei nodded and said, if Shi Qian chases him, he will definitely be killed.
At this moment, Han Shizhong was commanding the army to attack and kill, but he had given up on fighting generals. He could not defeat Yue Fei, and fighting generals would only be a waste of time.
However, Yue Fei's army had already occupied the advantageous terrain. Han Shizhong commanded the army to charge several times but was repulsed.
"Han Shizhong, we meet again!"
Sun Lei's voice sounded, and Han Shizhong's face changed slightly.
"You're really here!"
Han Shizhong looked behind Sun Lei. There was no sound. It seemed that the war was over.
"I'll give you a greeting gift!"
Sun Lei clapped his hands, and the soldiers carried Fang La's body out.
"Fang La!"
Han Shizhong looked at the corpse in front of him and immediately recognized it as Fang La.
"You killed Fang La!"
Han Shizhong didn't know what expression he should make when facing Sun Lei. The enemy they had fought for so long with an army of hundreds of thousands was easily defeated by Sun Lei.
"Fang La has done many evil things, and I, Liangshan, do justice for heaven, so naturally I will not let him go!"
Sun Lei nodded.
"Then what do you mean?"
Han Shizhong pointed to Fang La's body and said.
"I asked you to take it to ask for merit. Zhao Ji said that the one who wins Fangla's head will be awarded the Liangzhen Festival Yue!"
Sun Lei looked at Han Shizhong and smiled and said, Jiedu Envoy, Han Shizhong is dozens of levels higher than Han Shizhong, who is now a low-ranking Jinyi captain.
"You want to bribe me?"
Han Shizhong looked at Sun Lei with squinted eyes. He was trying to be courteous for nothing, but he was either committing adultery or stealing. Sun Lei must have some agenda when he gave Fang La's body to him.
"Haha! Just take it as such!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"What if I don't accept it?"
Han Shizhong looked at Sun Lei and said rudely.
"Don't accept it? Then I will give it to someone else? Jiedushi! I think many people want it in their dreams!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
Han Shizhong had some struggle on his face. He wanted Fang La's body very much, but he was unwilling to accept Sun Lei's bribe.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Han Shizhong looked at Sun Lei and asked. He didn't understand what Sun Lei was thinking.
"I'll make a bet with you!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"Betting? What are you betting on?"
Han Shizhong's heart moved, and he asked following Sun Lei's words. He wanted to find out Sun Lei's true purpose.
"I bet you won't get the military glory you deserve!"
Sun Lei looked at Han Shizhong and smiled.
Hearing Sun Lei's words, Yue Fei looked over with an unusual expression. He knew very well that Han Shizhong was brave. If he brought Fang La's body back with him, it would be a great achievement. The emperor had already spoken and awarded the two towns the Jie Yue!
"What if I win!"
Han Shizhong suddenly wanted to take a gamble because he had a great chance of winning.
"You won't win!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"What is the bet? Tell me!"
Han Shizhong looked at Sun Lei and said.
"What if I said, if you lose, you will surrender to me? Will you agree?"
Sun Lei smiled.
"You're dreaming!"
Han Shizhong immediately refused.
"Dream or not, you will know later! You will soon see the power of the imperial court again!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
Han Shizhong just stared at Sun Lei, but didn't say anything else. His plan to test Sun Lei failed, and he would not bet with Sun Lei.
"Take Fang La's body and leave!"
Sun Lei waved his hand and said.
"What if I don't leave!"
Han Shizhong held the pen knife in his hand and said coldly, he was not willing to be led by Sun Lei.
"Then let's just waste it? If I take action, you have no chance of winning!"
Sun Lei looked at Han Shizhong and said, he had a lot of people on his side and had an absolute advantage. Han Shizhong didn't have enough people.
Pang Wanchun shot an arrow, and the arrow went straight towards Han Shizhong's head. Han Shizhong immediately lowered his head to hide.
Han Shizhong's hand had already touched the hard bow on the saddle. He stood up, opened the bow and shot an arrow to the place where the arrow had just come.
Pang Wanchun shot another arrow, and the two arrows collided and fell to the ground. However, Pang Wanchun used a chain of arrows this time, and the second arrow continued to shoot at Han Shizhong.
Han Shizhong was startled, but his hand was not slow, he fired his bow again, and the arrow shot down the flying arrow.
Pang Wanchun stopped attacking, and all the crossbowmen around him showed up, with hundreds of crossbows pointed at Han Shizhong.
Han Shizhong's face was gloomy. In the mountainous terrain here, the lethality of crossbows skyrocketed. Hundreds of crossbows could kill them in two or three rounds.
"Brother asked you to leave, but you still haven't left!"
Pang Wanchun looked at Han Shizhong and said coldly.
Han Shizhong's face was ashen, but the situation was pressing and he could only endure it.
"Lieutenant, let's retreat first!"
The officers on the side were all thinking of retreating and did not dare to fight the Liangshan army, not to mention Fang La's body. It was the wisest time to leave at this time. (End of chapter)
