Chapter 82: The End of the Road
When Liu Hongji rushed to Raoyang with a dusty face, the Li character banner at the head of the city was waving in the wind. Li Jiancheng smiled and invited Liu Hongji to go into the city to take a break. Regarding His Royal Highness the Prince's order, Liu Hongji still had no way to refuse. Besides, after chasing hundreds of miles, it really needs to be repaired now.
These hundreds of miles were not in vain, at least Liu Hongji visited the entire process of Liu Heimin's execution. Li Jiancheng was too lazy to escort people back to Chang'an, and now Liu Heimin has collapsed. There is no need to keep him at all, it is much easier to send a head back to Chang'an than to send a big living person.
To Liu Hongji's surprise, after pulling out the sackcloth in his mouth. Liu Heimin didn't insult Li Tang a word, nor did he say anything about being a hero's bold words twenty years later. Instead, he viciously cursed a guy named Zhuge Dewei, saying that he was waiting for him in hell. Threatening words like biting him to death as a ghost comes out of his mouth with blood.
It seems that the hatred between Liu Heimin and this Zhuge Dewei seems to be quite big. The kind that really gnashes your teeth, the kind that clenches until your teeth are about to break.
The wide Mo knife slashed horizontally at the waists of Liu Heimin and his younger brother Liu Shiyi, in terms of killing. Li Jiancheng is not afraid of trouble, he really wants to see Liu Heimin rolling on the ground. Compared to that, it was simple and effective, and it made the prisoner suffer the most.
Liu Heimin and Liu Shiyi, who were not half of their bodies, kept rolling on the ground, and the internal organs in their stomachs flowed out with blood. That's it, Liu Heimin didn't forget to send out the blessing language of wishing Zhuge Dewei to give birth to a son.
After visiting the execution site of Liu Heimin and Liu Shiyi, Liu Hongji, who claimed to be lost, was driven out of Raoyang City by Li Jiancheng like a dog. So that a black fat man supervised the exit of the city gate, and the black fat man called himself Zhuge Dewei!
Li Jiancheng and Li Er's dog-biting matter, Yun Hao is in no mood to care. He is very troubled now, not that he has killed too many people in this battle. It's the two corpses in front of you!
The bolt was nailed straight into the skull, and the sharp arrow pierced the skull. In Datang, where there was no craniotomy, Yun Hao didn't think they had a chance of surviving. Xiong Kuohai drew a dagger and swiped it around their necks, and the two guys quickly stopped moving.
The feeling of the arrow flying over his scalp was quite terrifying, and at that moment Yun Hao even thought that he was dead!
I'm afraid! If it weren't for the two of them, it would be themselves who would have been shot through the head now. Assassination is a terrorist act that has not ceased since the day of the birth of human society. So much so that killers, prostitutes, and human traffickers are called the three oldest professions in the world.
Xiongkuohai has closed the city gate and is searching for it in Zhuozhou City. I hoped to find the killer, but for three days I found nothing.
"It's a tough idea, and it's very good. A repeating crossbow was used, with two shots at a time. By the time I chased him, he was already in the crowd. Xiong Kuohai remembered the assassination the day before yesterday, and he was also very annoyed. It's good to follow such a master, but it's sad that someone assassinates you if it's okay. But this is also understandable, if no one assassinates them, what do you want these warriors to do. It's like having no mice, and having a cat is a fart.
"You can't find him, it's the real killer. If you miss a blow, you will definitely be thousands of miles away, and the real ten steps will kill a person, and you will not stay for a thousand miles. Yun Hao reluctantly admitted that the strategy of closing the city gate and searching failed. This kind of character must have left a way out before the assassination. Maybe they've snuck out at night, but they just don't know it.
"Open the door! The gates of the city have not been opened for three days, and the buckets are full. In two days, this Zhuozhou City will stink so much. ”
In those days, people's concept of hygiene was quite weak, and people who defecated and defecated everywhere were everywhere. Yun Hao was on the side of the street, and it was not once or twice that he found one or two pieces of. If it weren't for the cold wind and ice that sealed those filth, Zhuozhou City would have been smelly a long time ago.
This year's winter is very cold, and Xu Yuanlang agrees. In front of him, there was a corpse. The hand was stretched upwards in the shape of the sky, and the most eerie smile was on his face. The whole body was frozen hard, but with a light tap on the ear, it fell to the ground and broke in half.
Many people froze to death, and every morning when the sun shone on the earth. There are always people who never wake up, and the rescuers judge whether they are dead or not. Completely based on facial expressions, as long as there is a look of pain, you may be able to save it. If it's a smiley face, lift it up and put it together. Then a fire, burned to ashes. People always have to shine, and being used as chopping wood is also a way to shine.
The person who died this morning, Xu Yuanlang was very sad. Because, this person is his son Xu Da. The frostbite-covered hand picked up his son's ear and struggled to put it together. You can let go of the two ears but separate them, open your mouth and lick them on both ears. Putting them together again, the two ears were firmly frozen together.
As concocted, Xu Yuanlang glued his son's ears to his head. It seems to be the same as when he was alive, although it needs to be activated. But as a father, Xu Yuanlang still has to do his last responsibility. At the very least, let the child have a whole corpse.
Try to hold your head high, don't dare to cry, the tears will freeze.
The defeat is like a mountain, and there is really nothing wrong with using this sentence to describe Xu Yuanlang. The battle of Zhuozhou has drained his vitality. originally wanted to use Liu Heimin to attract Li Jiancheng's attention, and he took all the elites to attack the less attractive Zhuozhou.
According to his thoughts, the troops in Zhuozhou City were all emptied. Before the war, he also said that even Luo Yi, the head snake of the land, followed Li Jiancheng to Duobaocang. In the city of Zhuozhou, there are only less than 10,000 remnants of the Zuo Wuwei army guarding. Under a sneak attack, there is no reason not to succeed. For this reason, he also led his subordinates to go out day and night, and approached Zhuozhou City hungry. Hide in the icy forest and can't eat hot food. Even if your body temperature is drained by the cold wind, you are not allowed to howl.
Everything was done perfectly, but in the end it failed. Even Xu Yuanlang didn't understand where he had lost.
The design was so perfect that even Xu Yuanlang felt that Ling Jing, who was gone, couldn't design such a perfect sneak attack. The elderly, the weak, women and children mingle in the city, and they are the easiest group of people to gain sympathy. As long as they set fires everywhere in the middle of the night, causing great chaos. You can take advantage of the chaos and capture the city gate to complete the fatal blow. Xu Yuanlang believes that the most satisfying thing about his life is this planning. He was already fantasizing about how powerful he would be when he entered the city.
But this is not the case, and it seems that only a few fires were ignited in the city before they were quickly extinguished. The people who were lying in ambush near the city gate did not move in the slightest. In the end, what he ushered in was the kind of heavenly fire that water could not extinguish. On that dark night, countless mournful screams echoed under the silver moon. Every time he dreamed back at midnight, the terrible howl gnawed at his heart like a maggot on the tarsal bones.
From the beginning of the rebellion against the Great Sui, it has only been a few years since he was defeated by Li Tang. Xu Yuanlang felt as if he had passed a few decades, and his black hair began to turn white, and it was only gray at first. When I drank the water yesterday, I found that it was all white.
But the son's hair was still black, with a luster that only young people have. The fire consumed his body mercilessly, and his black hair began to curl and wither yellow. Finally, with the steaming black smoke soaring upwards!
The branches covered with pine resin burned most violently, and the flames rose more than a foot high under the catalysis of human oil. Xu Yuanlang closed his eyes and tried to ask for help from the immortals he knew. I hope that my son can live a better life in heaven and not go to Infernal Hell like himself.
This is a good boy, and he doesn't have a single life on his hands. Everything is taken care of by him, who is an old man, anyway, he has too many lives on his shoulders. Either way, the gates of hell will be open to you.
The fire burned for an hour, leaving a layer of ash and scattered bones on the ground. Young people have hard bones and are not so easily restrained. Carefully collect the ashes, trying not to get a single piece of pine ash mixed in. Wrapped in ashes was a dirty linen cloth, the best thing Xu could find.
Efforts were made to dig a pit in the fire-baked land, and the pit was not deep. Xu Yuanlang, who hadn't eaten much for a few days, didn't have much strength, but if he thought about those foxes and mice, he wouldn't be interested in ashes. He solemnly put the ashes into the soil, and sprinkled the soil with trembling hands. There was no prosthetic hand in the whole process, and the only son naturally had to be buried by his father himself.
With his eyes closed, his face held high. I thought this would curb the flow of tears, but the tears kept pouring out. Tears flowed down his frostbite-covered face, and his stinging face hurt.
"Ah......h A long howl startled countless birds, and the sound was very much like a wolf's howl.
"King, Ding Yanping will definitely kill Yun Hao. Avenge the young master! The head of the guards tried to calm Xu Yuanlang's emotions, and now they only had two or three hundred people left. And there is a gradual decreasing trend, and just last night he hacked to death two of his subordinates who wanted to escape.
"Revenge! What revenge! We can't make calculations, and it's natural to be counterattacked. This world is Li Tang's, they are too powerful. Tell the brethren to disperse! Go home and farm well, and never come out to be a soldier again. Although it is as long as a person is horizontal and vertical, who may want to be vertical. Just leave a life and live the rest of the years in peace. Xu Yuanlang's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he walked as if he was moving.
The feet that have been purulent and flowing yellow water seem to be gnawed by ten thousand ants. It hurts and itches, and it's extremely difficult to take a step. I was helpless, so I let these most loyal subordinates disperse while I was still sober. It's good to be able to live one more person, it's too stupid to bury yourself. It's not easy to live, but it's even harder to die. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to die only a little, and it seems that there is a little bit of a mistake in saying it. At least Xu Yuanlang wants to die very much now.
Sitting against the big tree, Xu Yuanlang didn't plan to go down. Because he didn't know where the destination was, there was Li Tang's army behind him. The future is foggy, and there is no place for the world to stay.
"The king......!" The head of the guard wailed and bowed at Xu Yuanlang's feet, and the days of hardship and hardship were over. Now, the mountain-like man has fallen. The head of the guard tried to wake up Xu Yuanlang and led them to continue the fight. For the sake of future generations, make a fortune.
"Six sons! I've been with me for almost ten years, and I have suffered no less. Go for your life, I'm done! Xu Yuanlang stroked the hair like the chicken nest of the six sons, and patted it helplessly.
"King, we still have so many brothers. You can also make a comeback! ”
"Forget it! There are enough dead people, let them live well. Liuzi wanted to say something more, but suddenly felt a pain in his ribs. His eyes looked at Xu Yuanlang in disbelief, and his lips trembled and he couldn't say a word.
Xu Yuanlang let go of the hand holding the dagger and patted Liuzi's shoulder. "You've been following me since you were ten years old, and there's nowhere to go for you to go. Since I'm leaving, I'll take you with me. As for them, forget it. Let's go to hell together and fuck the fuck vigorously. Now that they have become ghosts, they are not afraid of anything. ”
Blood began to gush out of Liuzi's mouth, and his eyes widened. The sound of "cluck" and "cluck" kept coming out of his throat, but he couldn't say a word. The stiff body fell on Xu Yuanlang's body, and he didn't move after a few convulsions.
"Let's go!" Xu Yuanlang waved his hand like a fly.
I don't know who left first, anyway, after Xu Yuanlang took a nap. There was no one else in front of him except the corpse of the six sons.
I wanted to stand up and burn the six sons too. After following himself for ten years before and after saddle the horse, it would be too unrighteous to let the wolf eat it. Besides, it's not bad to make a fire to roast when it's cold. If it works, will it burn itself?
Pushed a few handfuls of the six sons lying on his body, but he couldn't push them. Dead and sinking! Dead and sinking! Dead people are really fucking sinking! didn't push the six sons, but he tired himself enough. When he gasped for breath, he realized that Liuzi's hands were frozen with the ground.
After resting for a while with his eyes closed, he finally gathered enough strength and pushed Liuzi away with his hands and feet. I endured the pain and gathered a pile of firewood, when it was almost dark. Xu Yuanlang finally gathered enough firewood, lit the fire, and saw the sixth son sitting up in the fire like his son. It's as if it suddenly came to life!
There were too many people burning, and Xu Yuanlang had long been surprised by the scene in front of him. When the flames were steaming to the top, Xu Yuanlang stood up. Those green eyes in the darkness wailed and fled in all directions.
There's a fire in front of you, and it's warm and warm when you're close. There was a slight pain, and then a sharp pain. Xu Yuanlang saw flames coming out of the clothes on his body, and the flames licked his hands. The huge blisters on the skin burst all at once, and it was so fucking painful!
A few days later, when Wei Chigong chased him to this woodland. Only two piles of coke were seen!
