Chapter 2702 What a certain family wants is a lifetime of glory and wealth, you give too little!
"Kill?!" The first reaction in General Wang Zhonglang's mind was, what did he mean, kill? Who did he want to kill?
Before he could change his mind, he heard screams and wails coming from behind him.
Wang Zhonglang turned his head fiercely, and in an instant, his liver and gallbladder were split apart...
Among the soldiers behind him, one of them had his head rolled to the ground, and the other four soldiers fell off their horses after being hacked by the Zuo Jinwu Guards.
General Wang Zhonglang's face instantly turned deathly gray. He turned his head and saw Zhang Liang with a ferocious smile on his face as he slowly pulled out the horizontal sword at his waist.
"Commander, Zhang Liang, are you going to rebel?!"
General Wang Zhonglang saw that all his own soldiers had fallen, and the blood-stained iron armor of General Jinwu Guard had eyes full of blood.
It had already fallen on him, his hands and feet were cold, and he could only shout with trembling lips and a stern voice.
"Do you know what you are doing?!"
"Put down your weapons for me, so I can leave a way for you to survive..."
Wen Langjiang, who had been very respectful and humble to him in the past few days, wiped away the blood splattered on the corner of his mouth, weighed the horizontal knife in his hand, and his smile became more and more ferocious.
"A way out, haha, a certain family wants a few lifetimes of glory and wealth, but you gave them too little!"
The moment Wang Zhonglang opened his mouth to shout, an archer among the generals immediately opened his bow and loosened the string, causing a buzzing sound.
General Wang Zhonglang felt his throat tightening, and subconsciously raised his hand to cover his throat, as well as the arrow that had penetrated deeply into his neck.
Immediately afterwards, a long spear pierced his waist and abdomen, just before his pupils dilated to the point where he could not see clearly.
Seeing Zhang Liang, who came from a lowly background, with a nervous smile, he swung the sharp sword viciously and slashed towards his neck...

Li Zhi, who was fully dressed and looked so solemn and majestic, was sitting in the car that his father Li Shimin had once ridden in.
Looking straight ahead, he really didn't expect that he would become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in this way.
My uncle had previously disliked his eldest brother Li Chengqian, who was gentle yet strong in nature, and his attitude towards the wealthy family was similar to that of a father.
Secretly formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the fourth brother Li Tai, just to drive the eldest brother out of the position of prince.
As a result, the stupid fourth brother ruined the great opportunity by himself. After that, the fourth brother jumped over the wall and started to play tricks.
He joined forces with Na Hou Junji, intending to kill his eldest brother and his family, but in the end, such a perfect opportunity failed to hurt his eldest brother at all.
After the defeat, General Hou was chopped into pieces. Although the fourth brother did not lose his life, he was demoted to the county king and went to the seaside to drink wind.
As his nephew became the grandson of the emperor, Li Zhi felt disappointed that it would be difficult for him to get close to this position again.
But he really didn't expect that those aristocratic families who were unwilling to lose their ability to influence the court and the political situation after the reform of the imperial examination system would stand up at this time.
Perhaps they were afraid of their father's prestige and power, as well as his ruthless methods, so they only dared to fight and make trouble behind the scenes.
But after their father fell seriously ill in Jinyang, they seemed to see the dying wolves of the Lion King, finally showing their fangs.
His uncle's cooperation with them finally gave him a wonderful opportunity to stay in Luoyang to supervise the Kingdom of Jin.
At the same time, I also have to thank myself for marrying the pretty, pretty, but overly arrogant daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family as the princess.
Sitting in the carriage, maintaining the majesty of the emperor, Li Zhi, whose eyes were unfocused and thinking, naturally became the focus of the team.
Both eyes fell on him, while Changsun Wuji, who was not far in front of the driver, rode his horse slowly, turning his head to look at Li Zhi from time to time.
I saw him sitting quite calmly in his chariot, stroking his long beard with satisfaction and nodding secretly.
Not far from Changsun Wuji, the already gray-haired Zheng Yuanshou looked so energetic today, wearing brand new robes and riding his horse slowly.
Right in front of Li Zhi's chariot, the rebellious ministers and traitors from the three provinces and six tribes, oh no... almost all the dignitaries were neatly gathered here.
After all, this is the coronation ceremony of the new emperor, not a school spring outing, so anyone who can move will definitely not dare to miss such a big event.
During the Tang and Song dynasties, the emperor's "big driving record" mainly consisted of the guide, the leading driver, the front and rear escorts, the front and rear drum bands, the emperor's driving, etc.
At the front of this team are the newly appointed Luoyang Order, Chang'an Cheng, Taichang Qing, Situ, Yushi Dafu, and the Minister of War. They are called "Liu Yin".
Then there are twelve "big banners", that is, big flags. Each big flag is supported by several people.
If starting from other prefectures and counties, the local governor and county magistrate will take the place. Next is the official formation headed by Changsun Wuji and others.
Behind the official formation is the emperor's chariot. This is also the core of the entire honor guard, so the security is extremely tight.
The imperial servant drove together with the driver, surrounded by dozens of drivers in front and behind. On both sides, he was escorted by generals Qian Niuwei on the left and right, and the eunuchs who followed the driver closely.
On the periphery of this team were many teams of cavalry and infantry of the Forbidden Army, each led by a general.
Equipped with bows, arrows, knives and other weapons, they are ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
Following the soldiers and horses was the ceremonial guard composed of peacock fans, small group fans, square fans, yellow horns, crimson horns, Xuanwu banners, etc.
At this moment, Zuo Qianniu Guard General Cui Min, who is responsible for the security of His Majesty and his ministers, is riding his horse next to His Majesty's chariot, looking around vigilantly.
After all, these two thousand elite Niu Guards were not only guarding Xiaoxiao, they were also worried that there were dead soldiers of His Royal Highness in the Zuo Jinwu Guards.
It would be easier to handle if the other party was clamoring to eliminate traitors for the country at the moment he jumped out.
After all, the howling voice gave him and others time to defend and counterattack. They would definitely be able to chop the person who intended to kill the king to death with a knife or directly capture him.
But if the other party is playing dirty tricks and doesn't say a word, he will shoot two cold arrows directly at him, tsk tsk...
Therefore, as a very experienced Xiao Min who once served as a bodyguard for thousands of cows beside the late emperor.
Before leaving, I had already told the elite Qianniu Guards to be vigilant on both sides of the road.
Whenever someone is found holding a crossbow, a warning must be issued immediately.
The team moved forward without incident. At this moment, they could already see where the ancestral temple was...
