The former majestic patrol camp official office was now in chaos.
Ling Ning passed through the battlefield and went straight into the government office. He came to the morgue and found the body of his father Ling Xingshuang.
The dried blood dyed the python robe on his body red, and there was still a bit of majesty on his face.
"Father, the child is here to pick you up."
Ling Ning's eyes turned red, then she picked up Ling Xingshuang and walked out.
"Ling Ning! You are so brave, you dare to attack the patrol camp!" A deputy general saw Ling Ning and immediately yelled angrily, then broke through the obstruction and directly attacked Ling Ning with a knife.
Facing the incoming lieutenant, Ling Ning did not change his expression. Then, looking at the right moment, he suddenly thrust out the spear in his hand, like a dragon, and shot the opponent directly to death.
Subsequently,
Ling Ning took off the token from the deputy general's waist and walked out of the patrol camp with Ling Xingshuang on his back.
The horse galloped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, you and the prince leave first, and we will take the throne!"
It may be easy to save people, but it is not easy to escape.
Once they are pursued, they will be entangled. When reinforcements from the patrol battalion arrive, it will be a turtle in a jar.
Ma Ben and the other three understood this, so they decided to fight to the death to provide Ling Ning with sufficient time to retreat.
Ling Ning nodded and said solemnly: "Stay alive!"
Ma Ben and the others immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Ling Ning.
Afterwards, Ling Ning left quickly, escorted by more than a dozen soldiers.
…
the other side.
Wei Xiong killed all the enemy troops in the mansion at the cost of more than fifty people, but did not find the person he was looking for.
At this moment, subordinates came to report: "Commander, something happened! Someone attacked the patrol camp and took away Ling Xingshuang's body!"
"Damn it! Return for help quickly!" Wei Xiong immediately ordered.
For a moment, a rapid sound of gongs sounded in Kyoto City. The soldiers of the nearby patrol battalion received the signal and immediately rushed back to the patrol camp.
After Wei Xiong rushed back to the patrol camp, he found the enemy who was stubbornly resisting.
"It is a capital crime for you to attack the patrol camp. If you don't put down your weapons, you will be captured without mercy!" Wei Xiong shouted condescendingly on his horse.
Zhao Ying, Wang Lie, and Ma Ben looked at each other and immediately laughed.
They had bought enough time, and the prince had left safely. Next, they could fight to the death without any worries.
"kill!"
Zhao Ying, Wang Lie, and Ma Ben shouted in unison. Instead of surrendering, they took the initiative to attack.
The fierce fighting began again.
…
The city gate was closed at this time.
At this moment, a patrol battalion of more than a dozen soldiers arrived.
The leading man showed his token and said to the city guard captain: "Open the city gate quickly. We are going to mobilize troops at the city defense camp on the orders of Lord Wei Xiong, the commander of the patrol camp!"
The city guard captain checked the token and found that it was indeed held by the deputy general of the patrol battalion. However, he saw that the young man in front of him was unfamiliar and couldn't help but ask: "May I ask the general, what happened?"
The young man said with a cold face: "The remnants of the Ling family attacked the patrol camp and tried to take away Ling Xingshuang's body. In order to better hunt for it, we can only ask the city protection camp to mobilize troops. What are you doing in a daze? Open the city gate quickly, there is no delay It's a big deal, can you guys take it on?"
"I don't dare, a villain." The captain of the city guard did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered people to open the city gate.
Seeing the city gate slowly opening, the young man at the head breathed a sigh of relief.
And he is none other than Ling Ning!
When leaving the city, Ling Ning looked back in the direction of the patrol camp. He knew that Ma Ben and others were in danger, but in order to save his father, he would not hesitate to sacrifice more.
"drive--"
Afterwards, Ling Ning led the men on horseback out of the city and quickly disappeared into the night.
…
Half an hour later, countless torches lit up on the street outside the patrol camp.
Wei Xiong's face was gloomy, almost dripping with water.
He did not expect that Ling Ning's soldiers and horses were so fearless that they fought to the last man.
Although all the enemies were annihilated, the number of deaths in the patrol battalion was as high as 400.
Nearly a hundred of them were killed by wolves and dogs!
Last time it was rats, this time it was wolves and dogs. Could it be that the heir apparent of the Ling family had the ability to control animals?
As soon as this thought came out, Wei Xiong couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
then,
Wei Xiong ordered people to clean the battlefield and then reported the matter to the palace. Ling Xingshuang's body was kidnapped. It was a serious matter and he didn't dare to neglect it.
In addition, he has an unshirkable responsibility.
Soon, the news reached the ears of Emperor Liang.
Emperor Liang was bedridden because of the death of Prince Jin. At this time, he heard that Ling Ning led people to attack the patrol camp and took away Ling Xingshuang's body, which made him even more angry.
Emperor Liang roared: "Wei Xiong! What do you do for a living! You actually let Ling Ning lead people to attack the patrol camp! Didn't you say that Ling Ning was fleeing back to Northern Xinjiang? Where did he get the troops to attack the patrol camp?"
Wei Xiong explained that Ling Ning could command the dogs.
After hearing this, Emperor Liang felt dizzy.
Only then did he understand that King Jin’s death must be Ling Ning’s fault!
If he killed his father, he would kill his own son!
"Ling Ning! Ling Ning! I will cut you into pieces with thousands of knives and cut you into thousands of pieces! If anyone comes, immediately dispatch a city guard battalion of 20,000 people to search for me! Anyone who dares to hide Ling Ning secretly will be guilty of conspiracy and treason, and the whole family will be punished. Behead!" Emperor Liang roared.
Xue Zan, the internal official, did not dare to neglect and immediately sent someone to convey the order.
Emperor Liang glared at Wei Xiong again and cursed: "Wei Xiong is not doing well in his work. He should be dismissed from the post of commander of the patrol battalion! He will be punished with thirty sticks. You should reflect on yourself when you return!"
If he hadn't seen Wei Xiong following him for many years and serving as a bodyguard when he was the prince, he would have killed Wei Xiong long ago!
Wei Xiong quickly kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."
Then the defender retreated and took thirty sticks.
After leaving the palace, a trusted lieutenant hurried over and whispered a few words in Wei Xiong's ear.
Wei Xiong's expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down and said, "You handle this matter personally and say that you will lead me out of the city tonight."
"I understand!" The deputy general immediately retreated.
Wei Xiong looked toward the west of the city and murmured to himself: "This is the last time I will help you and your son before I am removed from the position of commander. From now on, you and I will be separated by yin and yang, and we will not owe each other anything!"
…
The east is white.
More than twenty miles west of Kyoto, there is a mountain named Yunshan.
The mountain is not very high, but it is often shrouded in clouds and mist. People in Kyoto say that there are immortals settling in Yunshan Mountain, which is a geomantic treasure.
Therefore, temples were built on Yunshan Mountain and the incense was very popular.
At this time, in an open area on the mountain, Ling Ning personally dug a grave and buried his father Ling Xingshuang here.
Standing here, you can look at the majestic Kyoto City.
Ling Ning knelt in front of the grave and said: "Father, I have wronged you. I am buried here temporarily. You can look at the Kyoto of Liang Dynasty from here. Sooner or later, the child will lead an army to break through the city of Kyoto and chop off the head of Emperor Liang. Come and worship you!”
With that said, Ling Ning kowtowed.
After standing up, the rising sun just jumped out of the horizon, shining golden light.
Ling Ning looked at the city of Kyoto. He felt that his revenge was not enough. He only killed a Jin king and only made Emperor Liang feel the pain of losing his son. His pain was not strong yet.
But the current Kyoto city is in danger. Emperor Liang will definitely dispatch a city protection battalion to take over the defense of Kyoto, and strict searches will be carried out when entering and exiting the city gates.
but,
There is one thing that Liang Huang and others guessed wrong.
They would have thought that after last night's battle, Ling Ning had no more soldiers available. This was indeed the case. Ma Ben and others all died.
But who told Ling Ning to have a system? Open the system:
【Are the 468 warriors coming? 】
