Chapter 374: The Death of a Hundred Flowers

Lu Shisang shook his head and said, "Although the Holy Aunt is a little paranoid, what she said is not unreasonable. If Huzhou can be defeated, this Jiangnan will be invincible. However, Tong Guan established a new dynasty in Huzhou, I am afraid that the city has also been strengthened a lot, and we lack siege equipment, it is really difficult to capture Huzhou. ”

Shen Gang nodded and said, "What the general said is that, in my opinion, it is safer to go south to capture Fujian Road." There are also many congregants on Fujian Road, and with them to respond, I believe that we will soon be able to lay down a few state capitals and re-establish the cause of our religion. Moreover, the Song Dynasty was newly destroyed, and the state capitals were not subordinate to each other, if they waited until they were loyal to the new dynasty, then they would want to go south, but I am afraid that it would be difficult. Even if we take Huzhou and kill Tong Guan. Maybe there will be a remnant of the Zhao and Song royal families who will take over the foundation of the new dynasty, and then we will lose our troops and generals, and we will have to face the slaughter of the new dynasty, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive. ”

Lu Shisang nodded and said: "What you said is also true, the Zhao and Song royal families have gone south a lot, Tong Guan can hold one person out, and after he dies, others can also hold another person out." Although the Song Dynasty was rotten, there were still many state capitals that were willing to be loyal to the Song Dynasty. ”

"Exactly, our destruction of the new dynasty in Huzhou is only to give birth to another new dynasty, and our troops will suffer great losses because of this, and it is likely to collapse. The gains outweigh the losses. ”

When Lu Shisang heard this, he couldn't help but ponder.

Shen Gang's eyes rolled, and he said, "The last general has another word, I don't know if I should say it." ”

Lu Shisang smiled: "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

Shen Gang looked around and said, "If Huzhou is laid down and the foundation is reopened, with the Holy Aunt here, wouldn't it be necessary to build Yongle Country again." When the Holy Father first built the Yongle Kingdom, he set up the prince not to look at the status of the church, but also to learn from the Song Dynasty to make the world. If the Yongle Kingdom is rebuilt, then wouldn't the throne still have to be handed over to the people of the Fang family. ”

Lu Shisang couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he joined Manichaeism, but he wanted to take advantage of the momentum of Manichaeism to do a great career. Now that Fang La is dead, and the soldiers and horses are in his hands, how can he be willing to work hard to fight the world by himself, and then hand it over to the Fang family.

Shen Gang saw that Lu Shisang was a little moved, and said: "I teach to rebuild the foundation, all thanks to the power of the general, if I let someone else be the new emperor, how can I convince everyone, maybe my army will fall apart at that time." ”

Lu Shisang nodded and said, "Then what can you do?" ”

Shen Gang looked around again, gritted his teeth and said, "If there is no Shenggu and Fang Jie, the general will be the person with the highest status in the sect, and the general will be the best candidate for the new emperor." ”

When Lu Shisang heard this, he couldn't help but stare at Shen Gang motionlessly.

Shen Gang touched Lu Shinang's eyes full of murderous intent, and hurriedly said: "The last generals are all for the sake of the general, and they have no other intentions. ”

Lu Shisang stared at Shen Gang for a while before he said, "Holy Aunt and Fang Jie are both in the army, if they are suddenly gone, wouldn't it arouse suspicion." ”

Shen Gang was completely moved by Lu Shinang, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Everyone in the sect knows that Shenggu has an affair with Liangshan Xiaobawang, so they say that she went north to find Xiaobawang. ”

When the four kings were in alliance, Chao Yong tried his best to hold the sluice gate and was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Fang Baihua lost his temper in public, and there were many Manichaean people who witnessed it, and slowly the whole Manichaean group knew about it.

Lu Shisang frowned and said, "In this case, you have to let them out of the city." ”

Shen Gang said with a smile: "This matter is easy, the villain took some henchmen to set up an ambush outside the city, and then earned the two of them to go out of the city, shot them with a strong bow and crossbow, and found a deserted mountain to bury the corpse, and the people in the sect will definitely not find out." ”

Lu Shisang nodded and said, "Okay, this matter will be handed over to you, and you have gathered a lot of people under your command." ”

Shen Gang naturally knew what Master Lu meant, and said, "Don't worry, general, I won't use people in the sect." ”

Lu Shisang nodded and said, "Okay, the lives of 100,000 people are entrusted to you." ”

…… At this time, when Fang Baihua and Fang Jie were practicing martial arts in the courtyard, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and the door stopped abruptly.

The two stopped, only to see that the person who came was Shen Gang, the god of heaven.

Fang Jie still hated Shen Gang for speaking out against Fang Baihua, and when he saw that it was Shen Gang, he snorted coldly and turned his head.

There are only two of you left in the Fang family, and you don't know how to restrain yourself, so I will let your Fang family go to the end today.

Shen Gang thought viciously in his heart, but he looked anxious on his face, and said, "Just now I was patrolling outside the city, and I saw a man lying on the side of the road, so I asked people to check it. When the man heard that we were the Manichaean army, he said that he was a messenger sent by the prince of Daliang, and that there was a message to the Holy Aunt. When passing through Taizhou, he was interrogated by officers and soldiers, and a fight broke out, and he suffered two arrow wounds, one of which penetrated his chest. Struggling to get here, he was already dying, and I didn't dare to move him, so I had to come back and tell the Holy Aunt. ”

Fang Baihua said suspiciously: "What kind of message did he bring?" ”

Shen Gang shook his head and said, "That person didn't say it, he said that he could only say it to the Holy Aunt." ”

When Fang Baihua heard this, she couldn't help but be even more puzzled.

When Mu Hong and Li Jun went south before, they brought a letter from Chao Yong, but this time they changed it to a message. After all, the letter she sent after the breakthrough should have just arrived in Tokyo. In this way, this person must have known that the situation in Muzhou was not good, and sent someone to look for her. Because I don't know whether she is alive or dead, I don't have any letters.

Fang Baihua made up this matter in his own mind, and immediately said, "Then General Lao Shen will take me away." ”

When Fang Jie heard this, he hurriedly said, "I'll lead the horse to my aunt." ”

Fang Jie also brought his own war horse, and his intentions were self-evident.

Fang Baihua was afraid that it would be too late, so she didn't be verbose, so she immediately turned over and followed Shen Gang to the outside of the city.

The three of them walked more than ten miles out of the city, Fang Jie saw that Shen Gang was still running forward, and shouted, "How far is it?" ”

"It's not far, it's just ahead."

After running for more than a mile, he saw a small valley in which he saw two people standing on the side of the road in front of him, and another man lying on the ground, motionless.

Shen Gang slowed down his horse and pointed to the three people in front of him: "It's that person, I let the two of them watch, and I don't know if that person is still alive." ”

When Fang Baihua heard this, she didn't have time to think about it, so she rushed over.

Fang Jie also followed.

When he arrived, Fang Baihua turned over and dismounted, and said to the people on the ground: "I am Fang Baihua......"

Fang Jie jumped off the horse and saw that the man was sticking an arrow in his chest, and the clothes near the wound were already stained red with blood.

"Not right"

The arrow wound should have just been made, and although the blood stains on the clothes were dry, it was obviously not long and the color was wrong.

Fang Jie pulled out his waist knife, protected Fang Baihua, and said, "Auntie be careful." ”

Shen Gang saw the two of them passing, so he reined in the horse, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Fang Jie so quickly, for the sake of realism, the two people guarding the corpse were transferred by him later, and he didn't know it.

"Shoot the arrows."

However, both of them had already dismounted, and the archers on both sides worked together, and it was difficult for them to escape.

At the sound of the order, the archers hidden in the hills on both sides stood up and lowered their arrows downward.

Fang Jie saw that there were archers on both sides, and knew that it was difficult to block all the arrows with a knife, so he grabbed a soldier who was stunned, stuffed it to Fang Baihua, and said, "Auntie, block the front." ”。

Just as he was about to arrest another person, the guy was already scared and ran out.

Fang Jie had no choice but to lean his back against Fang Baihua and dial the arrows that were shot from the front.

"Ahh

The soldier who was blocked by Fang Baihua was shot like a hedgehog in the blink of an eye.

The two war horses were also shot with dozens of arrows, and after running forward a few feet, they fell down with a bang.

The war horse shared a lot of arrows for the two, which was also requested by Shen Gang, and the first round of arrows knocked down the war horse, saving Fang Baihua and the two of them to escape on horseback. As long as there is no war horse, it is nothing more than a matter of shooting a few more rounds, no matter how good the martial arts are, if you fall into the ambush of the archers, you will not escape death.

Fang Jie narrowly blocked the first wave of arrows, and he was also a dead soul, without the war horse to share, I am afraid he would not be able to escape in the second round.

"Retreat this way."

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded on the hill on Fang Jie's side.

Behind the archers jumped a big man, and the tiger entered the flock of sheep and killed the archers, and in an instant the archers were scattered and fled, and no one cared about releasing the arrows.

Fang Jie saw that there were no arrows falling here, so he hurriedly turned around and helped Fang Baihua dial the arrows shot from the other side, protecting Fang Baihua and retreating.

Shen Gang saw that someone had done a good thing to him, and he couldn't help but be furious, and rushed to the hillside after beating his horse, wanting to kill Cheng Yanjin, who suddenly jumped out.

"A thief, you dare to plot against the Holy Aunt."

The man killed more than a dozen archers, scattered the rest of the archers and fled for their lives, and when he saw Shen Gang rushing towards him, not only was he not afraid, but he raised his sword to meet Shen Gang.

"Shi Bao?"

The two were more than ten zhang apart, and Shen Gang saw the person coming, screamed in disbelief, and fled.

Shi Bao couldn't catch up, so he could only stop and go down the mountain to pick up Fang Baihua and the two.

The three of them retreated beyond the range of the archers on the opposite side, and Fang Jie said in surprise: "General Shi is not dead?" ”

Shi Bao smiled: "I can still save you if I die." ”

"Poof"

While the two were talking, Fang Baihua suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Auntie"

Fang Jie hurriedly ripped away Fang Baihua's body in front of him, and saw an arrow leaking out of the soldier's back, which was inserting into Fang Baihua's heart, and was torn open by Fang Jie, and a stream of blood gushed out from Fang Baihua's heart.

Fang Jie hurriedly hugged Fang Baihua and said, "Auntie, hold on, I'll take you to the doctor." ”

Fang Baihua held down his wound with one hand, shook his head and said, "The injury is in the heart, I can't do it." You and General Shi went to Chao Yong and told him that I wanted to avenge my brother, so I went to him. You don't want to ...... Lukewarm...... State ......"

After speaking, the powder neck was crooked, and the fragrance disappeared.

"Auntie"

When Fang Jie saw the death of his last relative, he couldn't help but burst into tears and was full of grief.

Shi Bao Ren Fangjie cried for a while before he said: "People can't be resurrected after death, let's find a place to bury the Holy Aunt." ”

"Ah......h

Fang Jie raised his head and shouted, picked up Fang Baihua and said, "Let's go back to Wenzhou, I want to let the brothers in the sect avenge the Holy Aunt." ”

Shi Bao frowned and said, "You forgot that the Holy Aunt didn't allow you to go back to Wenzhou." ”

Fang Jie glared at Shi Bao and said, "Why? ”

Shi Bao thought for a while and said, "If it weren't for Master Lu's instructions, Shen Gang wouldn't dare to plot against you." Since Lu Shisang dared to take this step, I am afraid that he has made other preparations, and we are afraid that we will not be able to return to Wenzhou, so we will be killed by him along the way. Besides, we haven't caught Shen Gang either, and we can't tell if we go back, I'm afraid we'll give Lu Shisang another chance to attack. ”

Fang Jie hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's do what my aunt said, go to my brother-in-law, and sooner or later one day go south to avenge my aunt." ”

Shi Bao was really worried that he couldn't make sense of Fang Jie, he and Fang La had been friends for many years, and now there was only Fang Jie left in the Fang family, and he didn't want the Fang family to cut off the incense.

"Let's go, let's leave here and bury the Holy Aunt again, so that they don't disturb the Holy Aunt's soul."

Fang Jie also felt that Shi Bao's worries were not unreasonable, and immediately hugged Fang Baihua and went away.

After walking for several miles, the two of them found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to bury Fang Baihua.

Fang Jie cried for a while before he got up and went north with Shi Bao.

After saying nothing all the way, and after walking for a few miles, Fang Jie came back to his senses and said: "When General Yue Shi blocked a group of chasing soldiers for me and my aunt, we didn't see the general killed, and we thought that the general was killed, and I didn't want the general to save my life again." ”

Shi Bao said: "After you escaped, I was surrounded by the pursuers, and I could only pick the weak point and kill it." I found a place to recuperate for a few more wounds, and after the injuries were healed, I inquired about the news of my teaching, and rushed over when I heard that the army of Lu Shisang was still there. When I arrived here today, I saw this group of archers sneaky, and I was puzzled, so I wanted to see what was going on. I didn't expect it to be Shen Gang's thief plotting against you, I knew this was the case, so I would have killed this gang of dog thieves first. ”

Fang Jie shook his head and said, "Who can know Master Lu's ambitions." ”
