In the governor's office of Zezhou.
Wang Yanzhang was so confused that he almost fell off his horse. Fortunately, he was caught by a group of Liang soldiers and his own soldiers.
After a long time, he stood up, and the iron gun in his hand had been thrown away in the chaos.
With a clang, he smoothly pulled out the deputy general's sword beside him, and then used his internal strength to shake away a group of soldiers and generals surrounding him.
"There are nearly one hundred thousand elite soldiers in Zezhou right now, one hundred thousand!
The prince was assassinated and died, the Xuanming Sect's Zezhou branch was wiped out, and even Master Fengdu's adopted son was killed in the battle!
There is no trace of the murderer. How can I, Wang Yanzhang, go back to see the emperor and restore my life to the late emperor?
You can take my head and return to Master Fengdu. "After saying this, he raised his hand and put the sword on his neck, about to kill himself.
"General!" A group of lieutenants and soldiers who had been shaken away by his internal force were filled with souls when they saw this.
"The general is confused!"
"General Wang, you absolutely must not!"
"General! If you do this, won't you betray Lord Fengdu's trust even more?"
When Wang Yanzhang heard the word 'Fengdu', he stopped moving. At this moment, the sword had already drawn a bloody mark on his neck.
After a long time, he dropped his sword and ordered around: "Alas...
Seal the whole city and don't let the assassins escape!
The city is searching for assassins!
Let's wait until Lord Fengdu returns and then take action! "
He deserves to die, but it is not the time for him to die yet. He has to explain good things to Lord Fengdu, a loyal minister of Liang Dynasty, and then die to apologize.
At this moment, blood dyed his clothes and chest red, and combined with his ferocious face, it looked even more ferocious.
Absolutely amazing!
Wang Yanzhang wanted to break his head at this moment, but he could not imagine how the murderer silently passed through their tight defense and assassinated the prince in the governor's palace!
Moreover, more than a hundred elite members of the Xuanming Sect were slaughtered before they even had time to send out a message.
…
The second day.
noon.
In front of Zezhou City.
Li Xingyun was dressed in green armor, a bamboo hat on his head, a red-armored copper ring mask with black patterns on his face, and a ring-headed sword on his waist. He was riding a horse, followed by hundreds of bad guys who were also riding horses and wearing black armor and ghost faces.
Horse hooves kicked up dust.
A deputy general rode out of the city with dozens of horses to meet Li Xingyun and others.
"Lord Fengdu." When the Liang Jun general saw Li Xingyun, he quickly got off his horse, walked to Li Xingyun's horse, cupped his fists and saluted.
"Where is General Wang? I have good news to tell him.
Last night I stormed into Li Cunxu's mansion and killed hundreds of his guards. Although he escaped with his life, this move will definitely frighten him and boost the morale of our army! "Li Xingyun's deep falsetto came out from behind the mask, with a hint of joy in his tone.
When the general heard this, his face became even more ugly and he did not dare to speak.
How should I tell Master Fengdu what happened in Zezhou City last night?
How should we tell Mr. Fengdu that our overnight search has no effect?
I am dead and will definitely be executed on the spot by Lord Fengdu!
"What's wrong?" Li Xingyun looked at the general who came to greet him. Of course he knew what happened in the city, and he also knew why the man in front of him was hesitating and couldn't say a word for a long time.
He arranged it.
But at this moment, Li Xingyun pretended not to know and asked.
"Sir...Sir, after you left last night, the city...in the city..." At this point, the general was so frightened that he couldn't help but prostrate himself to the ground and bowed his head in front of Li Xingyun's horse.
"What happened!?" "Fengdu" pretended to be stunned, looked at the trembling General Liang Jun who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, and asked.
The falsetto voice coming out from behind the mask was a little less happy and a little more anxious.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he, he was assassinated!" The general raised his head slightly, wanting to take a look at Lord Fengdu's face, but as soon as he raised his sight to the horse's legs, he remembered that Lord Fengdu had been behind the mask. It was impossible to see clearly the expression on his face. At this moment, Li Xingyun's horse neighed, the horse's hoofs stamped on the ground, and another burst of dust was stirred up.
The general quickly knocked his head to the ground again.
"Where's General Wang? Take me to see him!" Li Xingyun pulled the reins, and the horse roared loudly.
"Yes, sir!" The general saw that Li Xingyun had no intention of executing him, so he quickly stood up. While secretly glad that his head hung around his neck for a while longer, he got on his horse and led the way for Lord Fengdu.
Li Xingyun flicked his whip and mounted his horse to follow. The dozens of Liangjun knights and hundreds of bad guys led by the general also mounted their horses to follow.
When we entered Zezhou City, Zezhou City was already in chaos, and the streets were full of Liang soldiers who were searching.
When Li Xingyun arrived in front of the governor's mansion in Zezhou, he saw Wang Yanzhang kneeling in front of the governor's mansion with his upper body bare and a thorn on his back.
At this moment, his back was dripping with blood.
"General Wang, what happened?" Li Xingyun flashed, disappeared on horseback, came to Wang Yanzhang's side, looked at him and asked.
"I will be guilty of dishonoring my trust in Master Fengdu. Last night, the assassin assassinated me. The prince was stabbed through the heart with a sword, and his heart was broken. The entire Xuanming Cult that accompanied him to protect him was wiped out." Wang Yanzhang looked at Fengdu who was standing beside him, like As if he saw the light, he spoke.
"Is there any trace of the assassin?" Li Xingyun continued.
When Wang Yanzhang heard this, he was even more ashamed.
"Last night there were only Xuanming Cult members guarding the house. They failed to send out a signal...
It was during today's investigation that..." At this point, Wang Yanzhang has almost explained everything that needs to be explained.
"General Wang, get up first." Li Xingyun raised his hand, and a burst of internal force was wrapped with Yin Qi and shot out, breaking the rope binding Wang Yanzhang to him and the thorns.
"Come here, take General Wang down to heal his wounds." Li Xingyun looked at the vermilion gate of the Governor's Mansion in front of him and said.
"But..." Wang Yanzhang looked at Li Xingyun in front of him and said in disbelief. In his opinion, he must be fully responsible for such a big mistake when he was responsible for defending the city.
It would not be an exaggeration to use his life to pay for Zhu Youzhen's life. After all, he was the legitimate son of the late emperor.
The assassin's arrival was strange, and Zhu Youzhen's death was also strange. There were other possibilities, but Wang Yanzhang was a rough man and an upright general. Even if all these twists and turns were put in front of him, he would not think too much about it.
"And your adopted son also... dedicated himself to the prince." Wang Yanzhang was still kneeling on the ground, looking at Li Xingyun's back, and said.
'Yoshiko? 'Wang Yanzhang's words really made Li Xingyun a little confused.
"I will report to the emperor that the death of the prince is the responsibility of both you and me. General Wang, relax and go on.
I'm going to see the prince's body. "After thinking about it for a while, Li Xingyun felt that it was not a test or anything like that. It might be that something happened that he didn't know about without his knowledge.
