"Ouch, ouch, the backlash is so severe, my stomach hurts too!" Li Wenhao quickly added.
My heart was full of anger, Damn Li Wenheng, he will die sooner or later, he must die at this time, it will delay things too much.
I completely forgot that he asked Zhebie to shoot the first arrow!
After Li Wenhao left, the remaining people looked at Li Wenheng's body on the ground and looked at each other.
"Ahem, everyone!" Zhu Wen coughed lightly and said seriously with a straight face: "We all know now that which arrow the marquis ordered the sharpshooter to shoot is not fatal!
The Marquis did it deliberately, with the purpose of rescuing the eldest son during the chaos. Originally, everything went smoothly, and we successfully rescued the eldest son.
But there was a little accident at the end, and due to Hu Dayou's carelessness, the success fell short!
However, what we can be sure of is that the eldest son died at the hands of Langya soldiers and had nothing to do with the Marquis!"
"Yes, I can prove that the sharpshooter's arrows are very clever and perfectly avoid all the vital points. At most, they are just flesh wounds and not fatal at all!" Tianyang assured, patting his chest.
"As expected of Mr. Hou, he has a sharp mind and can come up with such a way to save people. It's a pity that we mediocre people have messed up the matter."
"Yes, Mr. Zhu is right. When I return to the family, I am willing to prove it to the Marquis."
Li Wenheng died, not hugging the Marquis' thigh at this time, and his brain went crazy. Everyone patted their chests and made promises, and the voices of admiration could not be heard.
"You are right, the arrow from the sharpshooter was not fatal. The eldest son died from the arrow that hit his face." Qiao Lang squatted down, carefully inspected the wounds on the body, and nodded.
But after he finished speaking, he glanced at Hu Dayou, who was sweating on his forehead, with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.
Li Wenhao is now a noble lord. Of course he doesn't want to see any conflicts between Li Wenhao and the Li family, but after all, Li Wenheng is the eldest son of the Li family. Now that he is dead, there is always an explanation.
Undoubtedly, Hu Dayou is the most suitable candidate to take the blame!
Everyone was not stupid. They all understood after looking at Qiao Lang's eyes. They all stared at Hu Dayou with dark eyes.
"It's none of my business, I really didn't mean to do it?" Hu Dayou was stared at by everyone, and he felt a shiver, and a line of air-conditioning flowed from the soles of his feet to the Tianling Cap, which was so cold.
I regretted it so much. Tianyang was carrying it well, so why did he want to snatch it away?
Now it's better. I slapped the horse's hooves when I flattered him, and I regretted it until my intestines turned green!
In the royal city, Li Wenhao returned to the palace and began to recover from his injuries. Two beauties, Tiangang and Li Xiangxiang, were waiting on him, leisurely.
In particular, Wei Liao, the order of the Hou Mansion, sent a list. Good guy, there are more than a dozen merchants participating in the rush to buy grain, six of which belong to seven tribes and eight surnames. A total of 800,000 bags of grain have been confiscated. It makes you smile.
The grooves are all exposed.
Outside the royal city, the Langya army withdrew to its main camp. Morale was low and the atmosphere was depressing. Not only because they lost the first battle and lost five to six thousand men, but more importantly, the king Yucha was injured.
It's because of the arrow that Li Wenhao shot when he was dizzy, and the three stars destroyed the moon!
Fortunately, this arrow wounded Yucha, and his generals hurriedly ordered a retreat, otherwise more people would have died.
Inside the tent, Yucha was lying on a soft bed with a bandage on his chest, staring blankly at the tent roof without speaking.
"Your Majesty, the spies in our city sent news from the secret passage that Li Wenhao has left the Li family in Qingyang and established his own business. The reason is that he was infected by Li Wenheng's blood curse." A sentry reported loudly.
"What, blood spell!"
Hearing this, Yucha seemed to suddenly come to life, his eyes were filled with light, and he sat up suddenly: "It turns out that it's not that my king's plan was wrong, but that the blood spell was broken. Otherwise,
Li Wenhao would never dare to do this!"
After learning that it was not his fault but the blood spell that made Li Wenhao so abnormal, Yucha's confidence returned!
"Isn't that right?" But then, Yucha frowned again and said in confusion: "Li Wenhao was hit by Li Wenheng's blood curse. How dare he kill Li Wenheng? He is not afraid of the blood curse's backlash?"
"Your Majesty, Li Wenheng may not actually be dead!" A Langya general said bravely: "According to reports from the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield, those prisoners of the Li family hid in the pile of dead people and took advantage of the chaos to escape into the city.
When they escaped, they still carried Li Wenheng on their backs, so the general suspected that Li Wenheng was probably not dead.
There was also a sharpshooter in archery, and our people also recognized him as Zhebie, who had been in our army before.
According to Zhebei's archery technique, it shouldn't be difficult to avoid vital points and save one life."
"You, you mean, I have been deceived?" Yucha straightened up abruptly, his face turned red, and his expression was ferocious, as if he wanted to eat someone.
"Okay, what a good Li Wenhao. I and him swear not to be at odds with each other. Send the order. At dawn tomorrow, the entire army will attack the city!"
At this time, Yucha was full of humiliation. He was actually deceived and tricked by a bastard in front of tens of thousands of troops!
Would his reputation be ruined for the rest of his life? How could he endure such humiliation?
And this Zhebie, wouldn’t it be good to live with this king? Why would you seek refuge with a bastard? He should be killed, he must be killed!
"No, Your Majesty!" The speaker was Prime Minister Hulu, who took the initiative to surrender and was reinstated. Whether he really surrendered or pretended to surrender is unknown: "Our army suffered heavy casualties in today's battle, and its morale is low.
Most of the captured prisoners escaped, leaving only Xuan Mochen and two or three insignificant Li family members.
We also don’t have much military rations. There are cavalry activities of the Fire Crow Army around, and Black Valley City’s food cannot be delivered at all.
For the current plan, it is better to withdraw to Black Valley City and ask for help from Mohan, Xiaoyue and other countries.
We, the countries in the Western Region, have already made an agreement to deal with the outside world. I think they will definitely send reinforcements, and it will not be too late to take revenge when they gather a large army."
"No, I won't withdraw my troops, I want to take back the royal city!"
When he heard about withdrawing troops, Yucha felt as if he had been pricked by a needle. He threw the soup on the coffee table to the ground, stared at a pair of scarlet eyes and shouted: "I still have a secret way, I can't hide this matter."
If you live too long, if you don’t use the secret passage now, you won’t have the chance in the future!
Instruct my general to repair the city today and attack the city with all our strength tomorrow!"
"We will obey the order!" Prime Minister Hulu and the generals looked at each other and bowed to accept the order.
Yu Cha is right. Many people in Langya's senior management know the existence of the secret passage in the royal city. Even if they don't know the exact location, they can find it out through careful investigation.
Therefore, this secret passage must be used as soon as possible. It is best if the royal city can be captured. If it cannot be captured, it is not too late to evacuate.
Prime Minister Hulu left the king's tent and returned to his tent alone. He retreated to the left and right, and a figure walked out of the screen. He was dressed as a scholar and had a white face and no beard. He turned out to be the former Prime Minister Haige.
