When Yao Mowan and Ye Junqing walked away, Ben Lei still stood there, his lips trembling and his face turned pale.
"Are you okay? In fact, so are you. Why did you run out of the military camp? There are so many people watching the prince, and he will die. If..." Leng Bingxin felt that Ben Lei's idea was too great.
If you don't carry it, your fate will be too bad.
"Nothing can happen to Huan Heng... Nothing can happen..." Before Leng Bingxin could finish speaking, Ben Lei suddenly hugged Leng Bingxin and muttered incoherently, while his body couldn't stop shaking.
Leng Bing originally wanted to give Ben Lei a big mouth, but when he felt Ben Lei's body trembling, he finally gave up the idea.
Yangshuo, Longmen Inn
"Li Xian, please see General Huan!" When the door opened, a man in plain clothes strode in. After closing the door tightly with his backhand, he saluted the person in front of him.
"I've been thinking that if I had come to see you earlier, the Battle of Yangshuo could have been avoided." Huan Heng sat at the table, stroking his white beard with his fingers, his voice filled with sadness.
"So the old general did not hesitate to take the risk to come here to persuade him to surrender?" Seeing that Huan Heng did not ask him to stand up, Li Xian stood up on his own. Although he was respectful, there was a faint coldness in his eyes.
"That's right! Li Xian, I have always thought that you are a talented person. This time I want to persuade you to surrender to Prince Su and overthrow the tyrant together. How about that?" Huan Heng always thought that the relationship between him and Li Xian was just like that.
Father and son, as long as he speaks, Li Xian will definitely nod.
"Tyrant? I forgive you, I cannot agree with you. I really cannot see how tyrannical the emperor is today, and I don't understand how General Huan, who has been favored by the emperor for decades, could surrender to the rebels regardless of his reputation. Furthermore, after passing through Yangshuo,
Zhan, do you think that even if the general is willing to surrender, He Lianpeng will allow the general to stand under the same roof with him?" Li Xian's expression was cold and his eyes were solemn.
"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place!" Huan Heng still feels heartbroken by the brutality of that battle.
"What the old general said is wrong. During the battle in Jiangcheng, didn't Ye Junqing use his golden armor to kill all the 100,000 defenders in Jiangcheng without using a single soldier? Didn't I ask the old general, at that time?
Does the old general feel heartache?" Li Xian's words left Huan Heng speechless. In fact, as a famous general of his generation, Huan Heng naturally understood the truth. On the battlefield of war and smoke, the winner represents justice, and success is king over defeat.
This is what Kou means. Only the winner is qualified to publicize his great achievements to the world and reduce the opponent to worthless.
"You and I both know very well that those 100,000 soldiers must have taken some kind of stimulating drug, which made them ignorant of pain and charging fearlessly. Even if I don't kill them, there is no way they will survive!" Huan Heng said.
explain.
"But the old general still killed them, so the meaning is different." Li Xian disagreed, his expression still indifferent.
"Li Xian, the current situation is very clear. The five countries are all friends with Prince Su and Ye Hongyi is the enemy. If you continue to help Zhou do evil, you can imagine the consequences!" Huan Heng wanted to persuade Li Xian to surrender, but he also wanted to persuade Li Xian.
It pointed out a clear path. After all, in his heart, Li Xian was still worth the trip.
"Old general, there is no need to say more. Li Xian is deeply favored by the emperor and will never betray the emperor!" Li Xian spoke solemnly, expressing his feelings.
"Come on! That's the case, I won't force you, let me take my leave!" Huan Heng came with full of hope, but didn't want to come back disappointed. The moment the door opened, Huan Heng was stunned, his eyes filled with surprise and unconcealable emotion.
disappointment.
"Since the old general is here, don't leave!" Li Xian's voice suddenly turned cold, and his eyes were filled with a faint cold light.
"Li Xian! You actually treat me like this?" Looking at the hundreds of soldiers outside the door aiming at him with sharp arrows, Huan Heng felt a chill in his heart. He had been too careless this time.
"Old general, don't blame Li for being cruel. There is no father or son on the battlefield. Now that you betrayed the imperial court, you are committing a capital crime. Since you will die sooner or later, Li Xian thinks that the old general deserves to die!" Li Xian raised his thin lips.
, said with a sinister smile.
"What is valuable?" Huan Heng asked coldly with a calm face and sharp eyes.
"If the death of the old general can lead to the promotion and title of the general, then it will be valuable!" Li Xian sneered, with a wretched glint in his eyes.
"Li Xian, do you really not remember my kindness in saving you from danger several times?" Huan Heng knew that he would not be able to escape this disaster. If there was anyone in the world he was worried about, it was his daughter.
"Hmph! Are you saving me? You want to show off your great achievements! You want the world to know how brave you are. Without you, I, Li Xian, would be poked into pieces! Huan Heng, your
Existence will cast a shadow on me! So... you must die!" Li Xian fiercely pulled out a hidden weapon from his sleeve as he spoke. Huan Heng suddenly dodged, with strong anger bursting out of his eyes. Great kindness turns into revenge, in this world
There is always someone who has a twisted heart, but unfortunately his eyes are covered with dust and he actually regards Li Xian as his own son.
Although Li Xian's martial arts skills were not as good as Huan Heng's, Huan Heng came alone without any weapons, so he naturally suffered a loss during the fight. After a dozen moves, Li Xian had already forced him out of the room.
"Huan Heng, you are really old! Shoot!" Seeing Huan Heng entering his encirclement, Li Xian gave an order, and hundreds of soldiers fired thousands of arrows. In this way, a famous general was poked into a sieve, and his body
He fell suddenly in the air and his heart was shattered. At the last moment, Huan Heng stared at Li Xian's wantonly laughing face with endless hatred in his eyes, refusing to close his eyes.
"Cai'er..." Huan Heng died. He died in the hands of the person he trusted most. His momentary carelessness brought about the end of his life. He died before he left the army. The hero was filled with tears, and the huge inn was filled with tears.
There was an indescribable sadness that made people burst into tears.
"Tsk tsk... Don't say that I don't appreciate your kindness. These tears are to repay your kindness for saving me from trouble that day!" At the railing on the second floor of the inn, Li Xian cherished it and wiped it from the corners of his eyes.
A teardrop, a smile on the lips.
"Come here, take the traitor's body back and transport it back to the imperial city soon!" Li Xian shouted loudly, his voice filled with unconcealable ecstasy. As long as you hand over Huan Heng's body, you will be promoted, rich, and famous.
Just around the corner!
Just when the soldiers were about to lift Huan Heng's body, several rays of cold light shot over, followed by a howl like a slaughtering pig.
"Li Xian! Take your life!" When she saw Huan Heng lying there covered in sharp arrows, Yin Xue's eyes were bloodshot, and she tried her best to shoot out the hidden weapon in her sleeves. She swung the weapon in a frenzy and swooped down despite the wind, rain, and lightning.
Li Xian knew something was wrong, so he abandoned his soldiers and fled toward the side door alone. Yin Xue was afraid that she would be ambushed if she pursued him, so she immediately turned back to Huan Heng, and then took Huan Heng's body out of the inn under the cover of wind, rain, thunder and lightning.
Jiangcheng, hotel
Yao Mowan sat in the front seat with a cold face, her ice-like eyes flashing with unconcealable anxiety. Yu Gong, if something happened to Huan Heng, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Chu army. In private, she was the one who led Huan Heng in the first place.
After embarking on this road of no return, she even claimed that she would protect everyone in the Huan Mansion from worries. If Huan Heng had any shortcomings, how would she explain it to Huan Cai'er?
Opposite the square table, Ye Junqing has not said a word since he came back. His face is as deep as water, and his thin lips are pursed tightly. Huan Heng's life and death are of great significance to Ye Junqing. Along the way, Huan Heng has made great contributions to him.
Without Huan Heng, he would never have attacked Jiangcheng so quickly, so he has always been grateful to Huan Heng.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince...will my old father-in-law be alright?" In the guest seat, Chu Mobei's face was filled with cold expressions. The so-called onlookers knew that Li Xian could use such a vicious trick as turning gold water against He Lianpeng's army. This person must be stubborn.
Shi, whether Huan Heng is alive or dead this time depends on whether the people sent by Yao Mowan can rescue him in time. Beside Chu Mobei, Huangfu Junxiu's eyebrows were filled with worry.
Chu Mobei did not answer Huangfu Junxiu's question because the facts were already before his eyes.
Just when everyone was worried, Yin Xue and others carried Huan Heng, who was covered in blood, into the main hall. At that moment, the atmosphere in the entire main hall suddenly dropped to freezing point. Everyone's heart seemed to be pressed by a huge stone, and their breathing
It's difficult, almost suffocating.
"Replying to the master, my subordinates failed in their duties. When they arrived, General Huan had already been ambushed by Li Xian... Thousands of arrows pierced his heart and he was killed on the spot." Yin Xue spoke sadly, with tears in her eyes.
At this moment, wind, rain, thunder and lightning had placed Huan Heng's body gently in the center of the main hall. The strong smell of blood filled the air, and everyone felt extremely heavy. Huan Heng's death was too tragic, with dozens of sharp arrows all over his body.
His eyes were as wide as bells.
"Old father-in-law...how could this happen? Who is it? Who did it?" Huangfu Junxiu staggered and crawled in front of Huan Heng, tears rolling down his face.
"Old General Huan..." Yao Mowan's tears fell, her body swayed as she walked in front of Huan Heng, and slowly leaned over, her tears dripping down and mingling with Huan Heng's blood.
"Mo Wan has let you down... Don't worry, no matter what the price, Mo Wan will make Li Xian's life worse than death! Jun Xiu, what the old general cares about most in this life is Cai'er." Yao Mowan looked at him with tearful eyes.
Huangfu Junxiu choked with sobs and spoke.
"Don't worry, father-in-law. Junxiu has sworn that he will treat Cai'er like a pearl or a treasure and never leave her. If you violate this oath, you will be struck by five thunders and suffer a bad death!" Huangfu Junxiu knelt in front of Huan Heng and swore sadly.
Perhaps Huan Heng's soul sensed Huangfu Junxiu's sincerity. Just after Huangfu Junxiu took the oath, Huan Heng's eyes widened and he slowly raised his jaw.
"Yin Xue, freeze the body of General Huan and keep it until Cai'er comes back... let the father and daughter see each other for the last time." Yao Mowan spoke in a low voice, a cold chill bursting out of her eyes. She really wanted to take it away right away.
I can't wait even a moment to take Li Xian's head.
"Old General Huan...it's all me! It's all me who hurt you! Why did I run out! Why did I, a bastard, run out!" The moment he saw Huan Heng's body, Ben Lei went crazy.
He rushed forward and beat his head with both hands. If possible, he would rather it was him lying on the ground now.
"Yin Xue! Please get General Huan out." Yao Mowan's tearful eyes glanced at Ben Lei, and her voice became colder.
"Ben Lei, please get out of the way." When the master ordered Ben Lei, Yin Xue was also there. It is true that Huan Heng's death was his fate, but if Ben Lei had not left, perhaps the situation would have been different.
After wind, rain, thunder and lightning carried Huan Heng's body out, Ben Lei knelt down in front of Yao Mowan and Ye Junqing, and knocked his head hard on the ground.
"Ben Lei is guilty. Please be punished by the master and the prince! Ben Lei is willing to pay with his life for General Huan!" Ben Lei wanted to die. Because of his dereliction of duty, Huan Heng lost his life. Even if he was alive, he would not be able to see the lieutenant general again.
.
"If your death can save Huan Heng's life, I will not hesitate!" Yao Mowan said coldly, then stood up and left the main hall.
"My lord, Ben Lei only wants to die!" Ben Lei buried his head between his knees and cried bitterly.
"All of you, please step aside. I want to be quiet for a while." From the moment he saw Huan Heng's body, Ye Junqing felt as if seawater was pouring into his chest, submerging his heart in the bitter and astringent seawater.
The feeling made him suffocate, and he suddenly doubted whether he was still the brave and capable Ye Junqing!
