Li Yuan finally got horses and enough dry food with the help of the mysterious general, but when he hurriedly and slowly arrived at Huaicheng, he found that the army had already entered the city.

Huaicheng, filled with gunpowder smoke, was so terrifying that it made Li Yuan tremble all over.

Unwilling to give up, he found an army uniform and put it on, then swaggered into Huaicheng, hoping to find out some information about Ling Palace.

Although Huaicheng is in ruins, according to Ling Gong's intelligence, there should be no problem in escaping.

"Puff puff puff~"

Li Yuan walked around the city with a spear, and finally saw a few soldiers sitting and resting at a well. He immediately said hello:

"Damn, this battle is really annoying. I want to go home a long time ago."

This short sentence aroused the resonance of these soldiers. An old-looking veteran replied: "Who says it's not the case? With my body and bones, I will fall apart if I am beaten again, but fortunately in Huaicheng

It's been taken down, and the war is estimated to be over soon.

My daughter is getting married soon, and she is still waiting for me to come home to get married~"

"Hey, I heard from our leader that we can go home after this battle. Now the only thing left is Changcheng that has not yet been conquered."

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Brother, you are really well informed. What is the situation in Changcheng now?"

After being praised by Li Yuan, the soldier said with some pride: "I don't even know this, I must be ignorant.

That Wu Zhiyong was defeated in Jiuchang Road. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were killed and blood flowed in rivers. He led the remaining troops to withdraw into Changcheng. Now the fifth man led his troops to surround Changcheng. This Changwang has now become

A turtle in a urn~"

Li Yuan's heart trembled, but he muttered with no expression on his face: "These people are really capable. They have been fighting for so long and they are capable. Aren't Chen Tiansheng and the others just farmers? Why are they so powerful?"

"Damn, what you said is wrong." The old soldier lowered his voice and said: "It's not people like Chen Tiansheng who are capable. It is said that it is the counselor named Ling Gong who comes up with the idea behind the scenes. Without him,

These guys have long been defeated and killed."

Perhaps because it was a bit dangerous to talk about this kind of thing, everyone involuntarily lowered their voices, but their faces showed great interest.

As for the big-headed soldiers, they always have to have something to kill time on weekdays, and these various gossips are what they love to hear most.

Hearing Ling Gong's name, Li Yuan finally shook his brows, and then said casually: "I am still knowledgeable, but I just don't know what will happen to this counselor."

"I'll end up dead~" the veteran muttered.

"Dead?" Li Yuan's pupils shrank, and what he feared most happened.

"Little brother, you still have no information." The veteran patted his shoulder triumphantly: "I heard that Ling Gong was imprisoned in the Jinglue Envoy's Mansion after the city was broken. But just early this morning, the Jinglue Envoy's Mansion came out.

When the fire broke out, it burned really hard.

It turns out that this counselor was also a tough guy, and he was unwilling to be caught and humiliated, so he burned himself to death with a candle."

The surrounding soldiers all looked in disbelief when they heard this: "Old man Wang, are you bragging again? Why haven't we heard about it?"

Li Yuan's eyes widened even more. He now hoped that this old man was bragging.

"Bragging? Do I need to brag?" The old soldier said seriously: "The fire burned for half an hour, and the Ling Palace was burned into a charred corpse. Now it is hanging outside the east city gate."

Li Yuan's heart dropped. Judging from the veteran's expression, he shouldn't be bragging.

His breathing quickened involuntarily, and he hated himself for being a step too late.

"Really? Hanging it outside the east gate? How about we go and see it too?"

A group of soldiers immediately became interested. After all, this was a famous figure. After taking a look, he would have some bragging rights.

"Let's go, let's go together!"

A group of people stood up and walked towards the east city gate together. Li Yuan naturally mixed in. With this group of soldiers as cover, it would be easier for him to leave the city.

After a while, everyone arrived outside the east city gate. Sure enough, there were several wooden piles standing about one mile outside the city, with a corpse hanging on each wooden pile.

With a quick glance, Li Yuan recognized that these were generals in the army. They were obviously defeated and killed, and the charred corpse in the middle must be Ling Gong.

Li Yuan's eyes turned red, with a trace of tears in his eyes.

In fact, if Ling Gong wanted to live, he still had a chance, but he probably thought it was boring to live, so he chose to die, or maybe he was tortured to death by those officials.

…

As night fell, it was quiet outside the east city. Three or four infantrymen stood guarding the corpses, casually looking at the surrounding night.

Their mission is to look at these corpses as a warning to those who want to rebel.

"This night wind is really killing me, it's so cold!"

"Damn it, hurry up and have someone come over tomorrow to change the defenses. I can't stay in this damn place any longer!"

Everyone had a look of dissatisfaction on their faces. It was very unlucky to stay with dead bodies so late at night.

"laugh!"

Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out of the night and slit the throat of a soldier almost instantly.

"who!"

The remaining three people were shocked at the same time.

Li Yuan burst out of the darkness like a god of death. He turned around and wiped the other person's throat with a knife. Blood spurted out. At the same time, he swung a dagger with his left hand and hit the other person in the chest.

The only remaining guard was frightened and ran away. Li Yuan picked up a spear and threw it hard.

"Pfft!"

The infantry fell in response.

Killing four people in the blink of an eye, Li Yuan's skills were indeed impressive.

Li Yuan walked to the charred corpse with an expressionless face and silently put him down.

The corpse was burned to a disgraceful state and exuded a foul odor. It was impossible to tell that it was Ling Gong. Li Yuan could only vaguely recognize that the figure was somewhat similar to Ling Gong.

Li Yuan wrapped the corpses in clothes and carried them into the distance, one after another.

When the sky became slightly brighter, there were already several more tombs on a hillside not far from Huaicheng.

Li Yuan spent a whole night burying all these former comrades. There was no tombstone, just a lonely grave.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Li Yuan kowtowed heavily to Ling Gong's grave and remained silent.

"Sir, Li Yuan will remember your teachings forever!"

After kowtowing, he got up, mounted his horse, and rode away.

He was going to Changcheng. Chen Tiansheng died, Qin Xiaotian died, Ling Gong died, and only Wu Zhiyong was left to hold on in Changcheng.

Even if there was only a chance, Li Yuan would give it a try to see if he could be rescued.
