The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 396 The Death of King Yong
A dead tree grows again every spring, and no one can be young again twice.

——Excerpt from "Zengguang Xianwen Part [-]"

……

Bai Fu'en was powerful and powerful, and all the rebels went their separate ways that night.Those who returned surrendered, those who ran away: the generals of the Huben Army returned, Ji Guangchen led his troops to Guangling, Yue Donghu led his troops to Jiangning, Feng Jikang led his troops to Baisha... Most of the tens of thousands of Yongwang rebels fled in an instant.

King Yong was shocked when he heard that, the Huben army is the elite of the three armies, and it is the foundation of his own army, how could he lose it!
King Yong hurriedly sent a team of soldiers to chase after Ji Guangchen.The soldiers galloped through the starry night, and finally caught up. The captain of Yongwang's soldiers said: "General, His Royal Highness Yongwang promises that as long as the general continues to assist Yongwang, Yongwang is willing to make you King Pingnan!"

Ji Guangchen smiled wryly, and said: "The King Yong is gone, and there is no possibility of separatist Jiangdong.

It was only because I was still grateful for the kindness of King Yong Zhiyu that I didn't turn around and counterattack, and only wanted to submit to the court.If you force me again, don't blame me for being ruthless and cooperating with Tang Jun to destroy you! "

……

After listening to the report from the personal soldier and captain, Yongwang Li Lin sat down on the couch, lost his mind, as if he fell from the sky to the mortal world.

At this time, only the noise from the other side was heard, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky.

Yong Wang Li Lin boarded the Danyang city tower, and saw countless torches lit on the other side of the river, spreading along the river bank for dozens of miles.

The surface of the river is indistinct and densely packed with ships, as if thousands of troops are crossing the river.

Xue Liu tremblingly said: "Your Highness, the Tang Army is cunning and cunning. It has been secretly claiming that its troops are not enough. Based on the number of torches, the Tang Army should have an army of 10,000+."

Before the words were finished, the detectives came to report one after another. Some Tang troops had already crossed the river. There were also signs of a large army gathering in the west and east of Danyang City. It seemed that the Tang army was about to attack on a large scale tonight.

General Gao Xianqi, a close confidant of Prince Yong, said urgently: "Your Highness, let's go quickly, or the Tang army will besiege the city if we don't leave!"

Yongwang Li Lin was so frightened that he didn't have time to clean up his clothes, so he escaped from Danyang City overnight with his personal guards.

……

In the big tent of the Tang army, scouts came to report: "Three lords, King Yong has left the city with the remnants of his troops and fled south.

In the current Danyang City, the four gates are open, and the officers and soldiers left behind have put down their weapons and surrendered to our army! "

The three Jiedu envoys Wei Zhi, Gao Shi and Lai Zhen looked at each other and laughed.Taking down Danyang City without spending a single soldier, such a meritorious service, if reported to the court, there will be a heavy reward.

It turned out that Bai Fu ordered the generals of the Tang army to launch an offensive at night, and the Jiangbei army was bluffing, holding two torches and approaching the river.Against the background of the water surface, it seems that four torches are burning, the scene is spectacular and the army is mighty.

At the same time, Bai Fuming's surrendered rebels did not need to cross the north, but lay in ambush in the west and east of Danyang City.As soon as he saw the fire in Jiangbei, he immediately raised the fire to respond.

In this way, the Tang army immediately turned into an army several times that of the rebels, which became the last straw to frighten the rebels.

Knowing that King Yong had escaped, Li Chengshi immediately ordered Zhao Kan to cross the river to pursue him.

The Yongwang's personal guards rode all Dawan good horses, and the horses were so fast that Zhao Kan couldn't chase them.

Seeing that he was about to escape, King Yong let out a long breath.He personally handed over the water bag, Yongwang Li Lin reined in his horse, raised the water bag, pulled out the cork, and poured it with his head raised.

Before a drop of water entered the throat, there was a "swish", and a strong arrow pierced the water bag.

Yongwang Li Lin was shocked, and the soldiers hurriedly extinguished the torches, raised their shields, and surrounded Yongwang in the cavalry.

It was pitch black around the horse team, and it was unknown where the arrow came from. There seemed to be archers in ambush in the dense forest and reeds.

Don't stay here for long.

Yong Wang Li Lin gave an order, and the personal guards accelerated to gallop.

With a sound of "嗖", another powerful arrow flew over, shooting and killing the cavalry trailing behind in the cavalry on the spot.The personal guards quickly changed their formation, from a column to a formation of wild goose feathers.

"Plop", another person fell off the horse, still the last cavalryman in the cavalry.

The archer was like a civet cat playing a mouse, deliberately teasing Yongwang Li Lin, he was not in a hurry to kill all the guards, but shot them one by one.

As long as whoever falls last in the cavalry, whoever will be killed.

The horse team galloped for less than a mile, and more than a dozen soldiers were shot dead by cold arrows.Fear pervaded the Guardsmen.

The archer must be behind!
Prince Yong's adopted son, Li Zhen, turned his horse's head and led a dozen of his own soldiers with high martial arts skills to turn around and block the attack.Behind him is the sky full of black mist, like a black abyss.Li Zhen led his army into the black mist.

……

There was no sound of fierce fighting as expected, nor horse hissing, these dozen or so people seemed to disappear out of thin air.

King Yong couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

While swallowing, a war horse slowly ran out from the black mist, and the swaying Li Fan was carried on the horse.Li Yuan's face was pale, and his eyes were hollow.

The war horse rushed to the side of the crowd, Li Fan's body tilted, and Dou Da's head fell in front of the horse, leaving only a headless corpse sitting on the horse, with blood spurting from the neck!

"Evil ghosts claim their lives!"

A primary school was frightened stupid on the spot, screamed and passed out.

The generals were terrified, panicked and fled in all directions, no longer caring about the life and death of King Yong.

Yongwang Li Lin was frightened out of his wits, whipped his horsewhip, and fled across the road, covering his head like a mouse.Half an hour later, the horse under the seat thumped and fell to the ground, panting heavily, foaming at the mouth, and died of exhaustion on the spot.

Yongwang Li Lin looked around, there was only one general Gao Xianqi and four other soldiers left, trembling, not daring to approach.

Before Li Lin could react, in the darkness, five cold arrows were fired again, killing Gao Xianqi and four of his own soldiers.

Yongwang Li Lin broke down on the spot, crying loudly.

When Yongwang Li Lin fell off his horse, his helmet was thrown off. At this time, his hair was disheveled and he looked like a madman.Yongwang slashed wildly with his long sword, and roared at the darkness behind him: "Come on, it's a man or a ghost, come out!"

The black mist slowly dissipated, and one person and one rider came out.

The person who came was wearing a black cloak, and the cloak covered his head and face, making it impossible to see his face clearly.This person holds a carved bow in his hand, the arrow is sharp and the light is cold.The black horse under the seat is solemn and vigorous, silent.

In the darkness, this person rode one by one, icy cold, exuding the breath of death, like a ghost messenger, chasing after the soul, making people shudder.

The dark man walked to the side of Yongwang Li Lin, and slowly lifted his cloak.

"It's you! Are you still alive?!" Yongwang Li Lin was terrified.

"Some people say that the 'fu' in my name means revenge! Thinking about it carefully, it really makes sense.

Even if I die, I will borrow my life from King Yan to drag you to hell. " Bai Fu said coldly.

"Let me go, I'll return your junior sister to you, I'll give you the throne, I'll promise anything you want, I'll keep you rich and rich for the rest of your life, with money and beauties!

I don't want to die! "Yong Wang Li Lin wept bitterly, knelt on the ground, his head was like garlic.

"Thank you, your woman, I'd better leave it to someone else!" Bai Fu sneered.

Yong Wang Li Lin suddenly remembered something, and took out a few books from his arms, which were the martial arts secret books that Bai Fu gave Yang Yichan back then.Yongwang Li Lin knelt on the ground, raised his hands high, and held the booklet in his palms.

Bai Fu stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air. These booklets flew into Bai Fu's hand like a siphon.Bai Fu flipped through a few pages casually, but the handwriting was still clear.

Bai Fu's face was expressionless, and with a twist of his palm, the booklet immediately turned into scraps of paper, like a butterfly, blown away by the wind.

Bai Fu reached out, grabbed Yong Wang Li Lin's neck, lifted Li Lin's feet off the ground, and hung him in the air.

Yongwang Li Lin only felt that he couldn't breathe, his eyes gradually turned out, and the feeling of dying appeared, and he suddenly felt that he was so close to death.

Li Lin was terrified, his whole body twitched, feces and urine flowed together, making the skirt armor of his lower body filthy, and the stench was suffocating.

Bai came back with a hand like lightning, five fingers like claws, penetrated Li Lin's armor, inserted into Li Lin's chest, pulled out something, and placed it in front of Li Lin's eyes.

Li Lin vaguely saw his heart beating in Bai Fu's palm...

Li Lin tilted his head, his soul flew away, and he died...

Bai Fu threw Li Lin's heart to the wild dogs on the side of the road, wiped off the blood on Li Lin's luxurious clothes, and then casually threw Yong Wang's body by the side of the road, let the horse rein, and slowly disappeared into the darkness...

……

After Bai Fu left, Jiangxi interviewer Huangfu found the body of Yongwang Li Lin.Huangfu was overjoyed, he had already received a secret order that he could not let Yongwang Li Lin return to Xuanzong alive.

Huangfu pretended to be responsible for killing Yongwang Li Lin and reported it to the court.

King Yong was defeated and died, and the news spread to the court.Suzong was heartbroken, covered his face and sobbed, and angrily reprimanded all the officials: "Since Huangfu captured my brother alive, why didn't he send him to the Supreme Emperor of Shu County?
This person dared to kill Yudi without my will, and cut off my brotherhood, his heart can be punished!He will be dismissed from his official position and will never be hired! "

Huangfu's capture and killing of King Yong was not only useless, but he was convicted.Su Zong's thoughts were predicted by Bai Fu several months ago.

……

Ding Dong had no interest in the life and death of King Yong, he played with Bai Fu's folding riding bow fondly.

This is a recurve horn bow.The bow body is made of Liaodong iron birch, and the wood is hard.The bowstring is made of thin steel wire and beef tendon twisted and woven, which is elastic and tough.

Ding Dong was so envious, he tsk-tsk praised: "Brother Fu, Sect Master Tang treats you so well, he even gave you Tang Sect's precious bow 'Xingyu'!"

Bai Fu took the Diao Bow, stroked the ridge of the bow, and said calmly: "I renamed this bow, hoping that he will seal his throat with blood."

"Oh, let's hear it." Ding Dong closed his folding fan, full of curiosity.

"Jiazi!"

Ding Dong was stunned for a moment, and laughed loudly: "Cai! What a grievance, happy to be kind and enmity, and wipe out all enemies!"
