When Shen Lie stopped, the secret guards also stopped.
The two women hurriedly chased after him and stood awkwardly behind him: "Young Master..."
Ye Zheng looked towards Shen Lie, the moonlight had been blocked for a long time, and only Shen Lie's profile could be seen in the extremely subtle light.
Deep, silent, and cold, but his brows were slightly frowned.
Um?
Why is the young master frowning?
"Master." Ye Zheng said softly.
Shen Lie glanced at him and said calmly: "What would A Li do if she were here?"
"Miss Ah Li?"
Shen Lie didn't speak anymore.
Whether it was Zhao Ning, Mrs. Qu, the girls from Qingxiang Village, or Miss Su she met on the way, she was always kind, kind, selfless and generous to the women around her.
She didn't care about Chen Yunqi's rude remarks under the elegant corpse cave of the Ruan family.
Even for a cold and cruel killer like Chu Zheng, she can give him a decent death.
If she were here tonight, what would she do with these two women?
At least Shen Lie can confirm that once they leave like this, these two women will not have a happy ending.
After a moment of silence, Shen Lie turned his back to them and said, "Bring these two women with you."
Several secret guards were stunned for a moment before Shen Lie raised his feet and left.
Before the two thousand Loyalty Army soldiers who went to surround the village in the east could warm up their posture, they heard shouts coming from afar.
The leader, Zhuo Xilie, was made a general by Xie Zhong just last month. After hearing the report from his subordinates, he led a team of soldiers and horses and rushed down the mountain, shouting from a distance: "Why are you shouting!"
Several soldiers came running and were so frightened that one of them almost crawled on the ground.
"General Zhuo!" one person cried, "General Zhuo!!!"
Finally arriving, several soldiers stammered, and Zhuo Xilie raised his eyebrows: "So, Prime Minister Xie is dead?"
"Dead!" the soldier cried, "died in that tent!"
"Oh," Zhuo Xilie didn't feel the slightest bit sad. Instead, he showed admiration on his face. He raised his hand and touched his chin beard and said, "Prime Minister, you really have a wonderful plan!"
Everyone was puzzled.
Zhuo Xilie thought for a while and looked at the deputy general beside him: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops! We don't want these villages anymore. We will dispatch all troops and horses immediately. We will go to the northeast overnight!"
Now everyone understood that they were trying to escape!
"Yes!" the deputy general responded.
·
The little attendant sat on the ground with his knees in his arms, his face pale, looking at the corpses being carried one by one.
The soldiers arranged the corpses neatly in the open space.
After counting, including those soldiers who died sporadically, there were more than forty dead in total.
There were more than forty people, which was not many compared to thousands of people, but all of them died, including generals.
Lying in the middle were the Prime Minister who had changed beyond recognition, and the King of the Loyalty Army who had lost his head.
Even without the head, this huge body is much longer than other corpses.
Many people cast their eyes on the little follower not knowing what will happen in the future.
Apart from his pale face, the little follower was not as confused as they were.
He frowned and looked at the corpses, his small eyes looking particularly lively.
Until someone reminded him that it was time to change his pants.
The little attendant then raised his head in a daze, stood up and said, "I understand."
He didn't have many clothes with him, so he ran to the baggage cart nearby to find his small baggage.
He hugged the bundle, turned around and ran towards the mountainside on the other side.
After running for more than fifty meters under the cover of darkness, he heard the cries of women and children in a cave on the side of the rugged mountainside.
There was a candle hidden in the corner lit in the cave, and the light was very weak.
Xie Zhong leaned against the earth wall with his eyes slightly squinted, looking like an eagle or a wolf. A woman was crying and kneading his straight thighs, massaging him.
The child sat on the other side, crying softly and not daring to let go.
Apart from them, there are two personal guards in the cave who have just arrived to report the news.
"Sir!" The little attendant came over panting.
Xie Zhong was startled. He looked closely and saw that it was a young follower. He was furious: "Who asked you to come here!"
"Sir, don't be afraid!" the little attendant shouted, "No one is following me. I peed my pants and I came here to change them!"
Xie Zhong stood up and propped himself up on the dirt bed: "Okay, tell me, how is the situation outside?"
Women and children also came quickly to look.
The young attendant's face was still pale: "They all believed that he was the prime minister. I, I scratched his face!"
The woman covered her mouth with her hands and opened her eyes wide.
"Is that my daddy!" The child stood up and cried, "Did you scratch my daddy's face?"
The little attendant looked at him and thought he was noisy.
"Yes," Xie Zhong curled his lips and said, "That's your father, Yan Zhigan!"
"Bad guy!" the child cried, rushing up to beat him, "You killed my daddy!"
The two guards in the cave immediately stepped forward, pulled the child away like a pheasant, and threw the child to the ground.
"Zhuang'er!" The woman cried and went to pick up the child, but Xie Zhong grabbed her by the hair and pulled her back.
"Are you two going to bury Yan Zhigeng with him?!" Xie Zhong smiled ferociously, "I kept you two to make Yan Zhigeng more obedient. Now that Yan Zhigeng is dead, what use are you two?
?”
The woman was trembling all over: "Thank you, Prime Minister, please spare us and let us live! I took the athletes out to beg for food! I beg you, please let us go!"
Xie Zhong looked at her and suddenly said in a sharp voice: "Kill!"
One of the guards immediately drew his weapon and slashed at the child on the ground.
The woman screamed and ran to stop him, but was powerless. She could only watch her child being hacked to death by the guards.
Xie Zhong let go of his hand, and the woman crawled away in embarrassment, picked up the child's broken body, and cried loudly.
Xie Zhong stood up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Take her away, let's go find General Zhuo."
"You will not die well!" The woman raised her head angrily, "Xie Zhong, you will definitely be cut into pieces, you will not die well!"
After saying that, she suddenly stood up and ran out of the cave as fast as she could.
The little attendant at the door was knocked down by her, and the two guards immediately caught up with her.
Just when she was about to catch her, she jumped out of the mountainside and jumped down.
She was only four or five meters high on the mountainside. She fell headfirst onto a sharp, pitted rock and died on the spot.
Xie Zhong put his hands behind his hands and went out, looking down coldly.
"Sir, what should we do next?" the little attendant followed and asked.
"Why did they let you go?" Xie Zhong looked down and said calmly.
The young attendant relayed the words of the two assassins, and then said: "If you let me go north along the official road, wouldn't it mean that we are going to die."
"No, no," Xie Zhong said, "The reason why I keep you is to retain a concentrated force. I'm afraid that the group will be leaderless, which will bring disaster to the people around us. Tsk tsk, this Shen Lie seems to be quite hypocritical."
"Sir, I don't want to go back." The young attendant said aggrievedly.
"Go back? You want to go back, but I still won't," Xie Zhong said cheerfully, "Just let those soldiers who do all kinds of evil run around. The more chaotic Lingde is, the better we can fish in troubled waters!"
He raised his hand and straightened his clothes: "Let's go find Zhuo Xilie!"
