Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 404 Death of the King

"There are enemies!" Cao Wenzong's voice sounded a little vague: "On the left!"

With the help of the fire, Wang Wenzuo saw a group of enemies lined up in a tight formation, rushing towards him. Obviously, the enemy also adopted the same tactics as Wang Wenzuo, but the detour team came late for some reason point.Since it was too late to find out, it was too late to shoot the scorpion. After shooting the last arrow, the soldiers of the Tang army lined up in a tight horizontal line, ready to fight.

"It's all entrusted to you!" Wang Wenzuo patted Cao Wenzong on the shoulder.

"Minggong, please sit down and watch me kill the thief!" Cao Wenzong tightened his belt, tightened his scales, and stood in the center of the line.The Baekje people had already rushed up at this time, most of them wore iron helmets with nose guards, leather armor covered with iron pieces, many of them were holding ring-shoulders, iron axes, and some were two meters long. Under the light of the fire in the shrine not far away, the leaf-shaped spear tips shone red. They shouted loudly, stabbed with spears, and hacked with iron axes, blood spattered like rubies.

"It's strange, why do these people seem to be speaking Baekje dialect!" Wang Wenzuo asked suddenly.

Empress Qiyu listened attentively, and nodded: "It does sound like Baekje, at least not from our country!"

Wang Wenzuo and Empress Qiyu exchanged glances, and there is only one possibility for the Baekje people here and now.

"Fuyu Fengzhang? This fellow is so bold!" Princess Saitama gritted her teeth, "No wonder he dared to set fire to all over Asuka, even Amaterasu Shrine!"

"We can't be sure yet!" Wang Wenzuo persuaded, "We'll talk about it after the truth is revealed. The most important thing right now is to defeat these thieves first!"

While Wang Wenzuo was talking to Princess Qiyu, the situation had completely changed. Cao Wenzong and his apprentices were in the center of the horizontal line and had already killed and forced back the enemies on the opposite side, especially the one holding the double halberds. Li Bo, he rushed into the ranks of the Baekjes and tore a huge gap in them. People kept falling in front of his halberds until there was no one left—he had already broken through the Baekjes' line.Under the scolding of the officers, the Baekje people tried to get back to the front line and retreated in an orderly manner, but under the heavy pressure of the Tang army, more and more people began to turn around and flee, and a very small number of the bravest people were killed from several directions at the same time. The attack was knocked down, and the retreat finally turned into a rout.

"It's over!" Wang Wenzuo smiled easily: "The enemy has collapsed!"

"What a beautiful victory!" Princess Saitama smiled and said, "Now we can pursue!"

"No need, it's too dangerous to chase at night!" Wang Wenzuo smiled and said, "If they are really Fuyu Fengzhang, his strength must be very limited, otherwise he would have been discovered by your outposts long ago! With the current situation, wait until the sky. As soon as the light comes on, he's finished! If I were Fuyu Fengzhang, I should find a way out!"

"Retreat? He still wants to have a retreat?" Princess Saitama's teeth were chattering: "I will issue an order to arrest him at dawn, and the Ampere Department will also be caught!"

"Ampei Department?" Wang Wenzuo was taken aback. Although from the perspective of personal interests, he also hoped that Ampei Birov would die. Without collusion, otherwise Fuyu Fengzhang would have much more troops than now, and he would not have won so easily.

"That's right, Fuyu Fengzhang married Abe Hirov's daughter, since Fuyu Fengzhang committed the crime of treason, Abe Hirov has to pay the price!" Speaking of this, Princess Saitama suddenly laughed: "Actually Isn't this a good thing for you? Then you don't have to worry about Abebirov refusing to hand over the relic!"

Wang Wenzuo smiled, did not continue the topic, and asked, "What about the sea man? How is he doing now?"

"I don't know, I took people to put out the fire before, and there is no news for so long, so it's probably not good!" Empress Qiyu's tone was flat, with no worry on her face: "We can only send people to look for it after dawn. Already!"

"Well, that's the only way to go!" Wang Wenzuo was not surprised at the calmness of Empress Qiyu. It is indeed a bit difficult for the emperor's family to maintain brotherhood. Datang has no right to laugh at the Japanese in this respect. .

"By the way, Wang Shijun!" Princess Saitama laughed suddenly: "I have a question I want to ask you, and please don't hesitate to let me know!"

"Don't dare, please tell me, princess!"

"Do you think Fuyu Fengzhang did the burning of Asuka capital alone, or was someone instigated behind it?"

"Do it by one person? Someone instigates behind it?" Wang Wenzuo was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood the intention of Princess Qiyu, thinking to himself that this woman has such a vicious mind, she just repelled the enemy in front of her, and she wanted to take advantage of it so quickly Construct a big prison and eradicate dissidents.

"Princess, from what my ministers have seen, the most important thing for you right now is to stabilize the foundation first, and it is not appropriate to make too many enemies at once!"

"What Wang Shijun said is true!" Princess Qiyu laughed and said: "But what I'm talking about is Katsuragi. He and I are mortal enemies, so it can't be said that he has made too many enemies!"

"Brother Zhong, Prince?"

"Yes, Fuyu Fengzhang is just an exile. If there is no one behind him, how dare he set fire to the capital? There must be someone behind him who can pardon his crimes afterwards! This person is Ge Cheng!"

Wang Wenzuo frowned. There were many omissions in the reasoning of Princess Saitama, but this kind of thing does not need to convince the judge and jury, as long as it can be won on the battlefield, there is a justifiable charge.Anyway, Prince Zhong is No. 1 on the eradication list in his mind, so why should he say so much if Princess Saitama wants to attack him.

"The princess is right. The eldest brother, the prince, is indeed the only one who can forgive Fu Yu Fengzhang's crimes. He is probably the person behind the scenes this time!"

"Nakatomi Kamazu must also be involved. The two of them are always hiding in the Kawahara Palace on weekdays, discussing something furtively. He must know about this time!"

Wang Wenzuo saw the resentment on Princess Qiyu's face, and he couldn't help but secretly complained for Zhongchen Lianzu, and his subordinate monk Huicheng was Zhongchen Lianzu's own son, so he said with a smile: "After all, Zhongchen Lianzu is not the culprit. Don't let it go for now?"

"No!" Princess Qiyu resolutely refused: "My brother died at the hands of this guy, and this guy has been a loyal dog to Katsuragi for more than [-] years, and I don't know how many people have been killed, so don't kill him It's hard to solve the hatred in my heart!" At this point, Empress Qiyu grabbed Wang Wenzuo's hand and pressed it to her chest: "Mr. Lord, it's not that I'm cruel, it's just that Nakatomi Kamazu is too deeply involved with Katsuragi. If you kill Katsuragi but don't kill him, there will be future troubles!"

--------------------------

"Water, who still has water?" Fuyu Fengzhang's voice was hoarse, his thirst was like a blunt knife stirring in his throat, and there was only sulfur and blood in his mouth.

A soldier took out a water bag from his waist, and Fu Yu Fengzhang snatched it quickly, but when he opened it, he found that the bottom of the water bag had been cut at some point, and all the water had leaked out. He licked, threw the water bag on the ground, and asked, "Who still has water?"

"Your Majesty, go east to the lake!" Sha Zha Xiangru said, "Not only is there water there, but we can also find a boat!"

"ferry?"

"Yes, it's almost dawn. After dawn, the enemy will definitely search for us everywhere. We must leave here as soon as possible!"

Fuyu Fengzhang looked at Sha Zha Xiangru, this man abandoned his territory and family, and followed him from Baekje to the present, but his face was covered with dust, his lips were chapped, and he had nothing to gain.

"Xiangru!" Fuyu Fengzhang grabbed Sha Zha Xiangru's palm: "If the country is restored in the future, it will be half of the country!"

"Your Majesty!" Sha Zha lowered his head like a shamed woman: "Why do you say that, let's go to the lake quickly and find the escaped boat before dawn!"

"En!" Fu Yu Fengzhang nodded vigorously, he stood up and said to the soldiers beside him: "Now let's go east and find a boat by the lake!"

In order to avoid being discovered by the pursuers, Fuyu Fengzhang and his party did not have torches, so they could only grope eastward with the faint light of the fire. Some people fell to the ground and could no longer get up. In fact, Fuyu Fengzhang himself was paralyzed to the ground , leaving everything to fate, but with strong perseverance, he finally persevered and arrived at the lake when a wisp of fish maw appeared on the horizon.

"Look, there is a fishing village over there, and there are fishing nets drying, there must be fishing boats!" Sha Zhaxiangru pointed to the village not far away.

"Everyone work hard, if you find the boat, you will be able to survive!" Fu Yu Fengzhang encouraged the soldiers behind him. At this time, there were only more than [-] people around him.

Seeing the vast water, the morale of the crowd immediately rose, and the soldiers rushed in, first had a drink, and then searched for some dried fish in the village, but they only found a small boat, which could accommodate all of them. Four or five people.Sha Zha Xiangru boarded the boat first, and said to Fuyu Fengzhang: "Your Highness, get on the boat quickly, don't delay!"

Fu Yu Fengzhang got on the boat quickly, and three soldiers came up to act as oarsmen, and they pushed the boat into the water with bamboo poles. Seeing this, the soldiers on the shore had to scatter in all directions.

"Your Majesty, eat some dried fish first!" Sha Zha Xiangru handed over the dried fish, Fu Yu Fengzhang took the dried fish, broke off a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed, a salty smell radiated in his mouth Open, he almost vomited out, had to hold back.

"Your Majesty, what are your plans next?" Sha Zha asked.

"Next?" Fuyu Fengzhang pondered for a while: "Go back to Omi first, the eldest brother and the prince are going to compete for the throne with Princess Qitama and the people of Haihai, and they will definitely use us when they are still employing people! There are others in Kitakyushu. Tens of thousands of Baekje people, they all listen to my orders, and the Ampere Department, as long as we can escape this time, we will have a chance to make a comeback in the future!"

"Your Majesty is really indomitable!" Sha Zha Xiangru praised: "Wu Zixu in ancient times is in the current situation, and he can't do better than you!"

Hearing Sha Zha Xiangru's praise, Fu Yu Fengzhang couldn't help feeling happy: Yes, although I lost this time, how many of the ancients who made great achievements never suffered setbacks?No ancient emperor could compare with Han Gaozu, but Han Gaozu was also forced by Xiang Yu to abandon his children, wives and fathers, but in the end he was able to achieve great things. Is he better now than when Han Gaozu was in distress?He was about to say something when he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. When he looked up, he found that Sha Zha Xiangru was stabbing his chest with a sword.

"You, why are you doing this?" Fu Yu Fengzhang looked at Sha Zha Xiangru dumbfounded, only to see Sha Zha Xiangru whistled, and two soldiers had already thrown the remaining body of the man into the lake.

"The two of them don't want to follow you to Jinjiang!" Sha Zha shrugged his shoulders: "I don't want to either!"

"Are you crazy?" Blood overflowed from Fuyu Fengzhang's mouth, and he struggled with all his strength: "We set fire to Amaterasu Shrine, and the Japanese will not spare you!"

"That's right, but as long as you have your head, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty will pardon us and reward us!" Sha Zha Xiangru drew back his long sword and held it high above his head: "Your Majesty, what last words do you have to say? Is it?"

————————————————————————————

It's already dawn.

"It's from Baekje. Look at this weapon and armor! You can't go wrong!" Cui Hongdu turned the corpse on the ground with his feet. Sky.

"Damn it, three years of fighting in Baekje is not enough, and we still have to fight when we go to Japan!" Wang Wenzuo spat, looking at the corpses all over the ground, these familiar enemies are still so tenacious, or stubborn, even though last night The victor was himself, but he also paid the price of more than [-] casualties.

"The captives are still unwilling to speak, but Fuyu Fengzhang is most likely behind the scenes!" Cui Hongdu said in a low voice.

Wang Wenzuo didn't speak, he knew that what Cui Hongdu said was right, the information that Sha Zhaxiangru had confided to him before had already revealed everything, maybe that guy was among them last night, I hope he won't die in the chaos!
"What shall we do next?" Cui Hongdu asked.

"Wait and see what happens!" Wang Wenzuo said in a low voice: "This is the war of the Japanese themselves. The less blood shed by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the better!"

"I see! What about the Japanese captives in Baekje?"

"Don't panic, let Princess Qiyu speak up herself, this battle is for her to fight, let's not be too aggressive!"

"Yes!" Cui Hongdu nodded understandingly.

At this time, there was a wailing sound from a distance, Wang Wenzuo and Cui Hongdu exchanged glances, and went up to meet them.

"What's going on?" Cui Hongdu asked the Japanese interpreter.

"Prince Hairen is dead!" The interpreter's broad forehead was covered with beads of sweat, like dew on the surface of a melon: "It's too terrible. After a few days, both the eldest brother Zhong and the Hairen prince passed away. It must be the evil spirits. !"

"Prince Hairen is also dead? Are you sure?" Wang Wenzuo asked.

"Sure! The corpse is there!" The interpreter pointed to the line not far away: "The corpse was found on the side of the road. There was only one wound on the whole body, but it was breathless!"

The body of the Haihai man was placed on a white cloth stretcher by the Japanese. Just as the interpreter said, there was a wound on his left chest. Judging from the marks, it should be pierced by an arrow. Most likely, he was attacked by surprise. This nobleman has not had time to display his martial arts. He was shot to the point by the ambushing enemy.
