As soon as King Fu finished his words, arrows shot out from the depths of the forest, instantly killing most of the guards brought by Nangong Ba.

The five thousand cavalry who were staying not far away heard a scream and just wanted to check the situation. An overwhelming rain of arrows fell into the crowd. Groups of ambush soldiers rushed out from all sides, and a melee broke out in an instant.

Seeing the soldiers from both sides fighting together, Nangong Ba drew his sword boldly, stepped out in front of Nangong Yu, looked at Zhou Tongfu warily, and shouted angrily: "Yu'er, don't be afraid! Let's fight out together!"

For some reason, Nangong Ba vaguely felt a trace of ridicule appear on Zhou Tongfu's face opposite him. Nangong Ba became furious and roared: "Seeking death!" before he raised his knife and charged forward.

"laugh!"

A sharp sword instantly penetrated Nangong Ba's chest from the back, breaking through the armor and passing through the chest.

Looking at the sword blade on his chest, Nangong Ba's face showed an indescribable shock. The old man turned around with difficulty and saw his son retreating with trembling hands.

"Father, I'm sorry, if you don't die, I will die!" Nangong Yu shouted in a tearful voice.

Nangong Ba's hand weakly grasped forward, but he could not grasp Nangong Yu's body. Blood continued to flow out. The old man fell to his knees with a plop, slowly closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth appeared before he died.

He gave a wry smile.

The dignified Duke of Dazhou Town, the leader of a century-old family, died under the sword of his own son.

The old man who has been fighting all his life never thought that one day he would be killed by a sword stabbed from behind. The owner of that sword was his most beloved son.

In the summer of the first year of Jingtai, the Duke of Dazhou Town died!

Nangong Yu knelt beside his father's body, holding back tears, and took out the military talisman from Nangong Ba's arms with trembling hands.

The five thousand elite cavalry outside the woods were surrounded by tens of thousands of Fuzhou troops in circles. The screams came one after another, breaking the tranquility of the night, and kept echoing in Nangong Yu's ears.

Zhou Tongfu walked slowly to his side, pulled Nangong Yu up with his own hands, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "No poison, no husband. After tonight, your future will be extremely brilliant."

A trace of determination flashed in Nangong Yu's eyes, and he nodded fiercely.

Early the next morning, Nangong Yu led five thousand cavalrymen and went straight to Lingzhou City and called the gate. The guard on the city tower saw that it was Nangong Yu's general flag and quickly opened the city gate.

Among the five thousand cavalry, King Fu's number one general Deng Jian'an was prominently among them.

Within the Lingzhou camp, all the generals and commanders were summoned together and formed a chaotic mess, with the fierce soldiers brought by Nangong Yu standing on both sides.

"General Yu, why did the old general go out of the city to rescue you, but when you came back, he was nowhere to be seen?" A veteran general asked first.

The veteran general's name is Di Yun. He has been Nangong Ba's deputy general for many years and has a high prestige in the army.

"Yes, where is the old general!" All the generals agreed.

The faces of the strange soldiers in the camp made everyone feel that something was wrong.

Nangong Yu sat in the first place, as if he had regained his former majesty, and said with a hint of sadness: "My father unfortunately died in the battle, and the military talisman is here. From now on, the entire army will be at my disposal!"

As soon as these words came out, it was shocking.

Many generals looked in disbelief and shouted, "How is it possible? General Nangong was fine yesterday! What happened? Why did the old general die but you were unscathed?"

Veteran Di Yun looked at Nangong Yu calmly. He always felt that Nangong Yu was different now.

Nangong Yu stared at everyone with an indifferent expression: "I said, my father died in the war, don't you understand?"

The chaotic hall gradually became quiet. Di Yun stood up and asked: "What are the general's plans now? When will he reorganize the army and go out of the city to avenge the old general?"

Everyone looked at Nangong Yu with excitement.

Nangong Yu paused and said calmly: "The Holy Emperor is young today, and the Yuwen family monopolizes power, rejects dissidents, and fights against dissenters. I have made up my mind. The Nangong family will follow King Fu to raise an army. Who has any objections!"

"Beast!" Di Yun couldn't bear it anymore and cursed angrily: "The old general just died in the hands of the enemy, and you have to turn around and join the enemy. You are still not a human being!"

A group of generals scolded Nangong Yu one after another. Among the Nangong pro-army, almost all the high-status generals were brought out by Nangong Ba back then, and they respected Nangong Ba very much.

Only a few low-level generals and some experienced disciples from the Nangong family were promoted by Nangong Yu.

Hearing the scoldings in the hall, Nangong Yu didn't care at all, stared at Di Yun and asked: "Old general, so you are unwilling to obey orders?"

Deng Jian'an, who was standing next to Nangong Yu, had slowly held his hand on the handle of the knife.

Di Yun said fiercely: "Bullshit military orders, we only recognize old generals! No one in the Nangong army will betray his master!"

"Who else?" Nangong Yu glanced around casually.

"I don't accept it either!"

"And I!"

A large group of generals were all impassioned, and no one listened to Nangong Yu's orders. Only a small group of young people felt that the atmosphere was wrong and huddled aside without saying a word.

"Let's do it." Nangong Yu closed his eyes and waved his hand slowly.

Di Yun's eyes widened angrily, and he pulled out his saber fiercely. Before he could take action, a crossbow arrow shot out from behind the screen of the camp, hitting Di Yun's forehead. The old man fell back weakly.

The soldiers on both sides immediately rushed forward, frantically slashing and killing the generals who had just jumped out to disobey Nangong Yu. A layer of soldiers quickly surrounded the camp and sealed off the camp.

The generals and soldiers in the camp were killed in a group, and they were all killed in a short time. The thick smell of blood made the remaining people tremble.

Deng Jian'an wiped the blood on the blade and looked at the remaining people with a grin.

Nangong Yu asked again: "Who else is dissatisfied?"

Everyone looked at each other, and a complimenting voice sounded: "Uncle, you are the head of the Nangong family. The old general died in the battle, so we should obey your orders."

"I only obey the general's orders!" the responses came one after another.

The remaining people eventually surrendered to Nangong Yu's butcher's knife.

Nangong Yu nodded with satisfaction, looked around at everyone and said, "From today on, you will serve me well. I guarantee that you will have inexhaustible glory and wealth in the future!"

Hearing this, everyone felt happy. Not only could they survive, but they could also gain a future. No matter whose account he was working for, who was the emperor or not?

"Everyone, go down. Remember, there is no need to show mercy to those who should not be left in the army!" Nangong Yu waved his hand.

That day there was a bloody storm in Lingzhou City, purges were going on everywhere, and all the old men loyal to Nangong Ba were killed.

Mutinies broke out in many military camps. Finally, after King Fu's army entered the city, the chaos was finally calmed down.

Looking at the blood everywhere, Nangong Yu knew that he had embarked on a path of no return. Thinking of those clansmen in the capital, his heart trembled.
