Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 198 Traitor
Lai Huer led his men and rushed out of the forest, laughing wildly and uninhibitedly: "Brothers, kill me, kill the bandits and steal their wife from the village."

The officers and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty rushed down and the mountain bandits and monks who were ambushing them were immediately frightened and fled in all directions.

Yang Guang said speechlessly: "I have to talk about Lai Huer's character properly. Don't smear my name. Why are you talking about everything to others? Even if you really do it, you can't say it."

With such a huge momentum, how could a group of bandits be an opponent of the heavily armed regular army in a head-on confrontation? However, there were also desperate resisters, and the final result was of course death.

Accompanied by shouts of beating and killing, an hour later, the monk soldiers had all been dealt with. Most of them ran away, captured a few, and killed a few.

"I have to say that the bandits are really familiar with the mountains and forests. We can't chase those who are less panicked and run for their lives from the beginning."

Yang Guang counted the prisoners in front of him, captured 42 people, killed 38 people, and killed nearly 80 people in total. The harvest was pretty good, and there were only a few casualties on his side.

At this time, Qin Qiong and Zhou Wu escorted Gao Huairong back.

Gao Huairong's nose was bleeding and his eyes were panda eyes. He had obviously received good care from the two young heroes.

Qin Qiong said angrily: "Your Highness, King Jin, this guy had evil intentions when the war started. He actually wanted to shoot arrows in the direction of Your Highness. The two of us followed him and immediately killed him. He and several of his subordinates were also The traitor turned against him before the battle, but fortunately His Highness had noticed it early, so we fought to kill him and captured the traitor."

Yang Guang looked at Qin Qiong and Zhou Wu. Qin Qiong said it was easy, but there were injuries on his body and a big bloody hole on his shoulder. Zhou Wu was similar. Gao Huairong and others were not ordinary people. How could they say anything about it in a fight? It was so easy to win, but Qin Qiong was an upright person and would not deliberately describe the process as dangerous.

"Thank you for your hard work. You two should be treated first."

Yang Guang walked up to Gao Huairong, and Gao Huairong glared at him.

Leng Yan said: "Why did the dignified deputy general of Yanmen Pass become the bandit's lackey?"

Gao Huairong said angrily: "Huh, son, today my grandpa is in your hands, I think I am blind, I have to kill or cut him into pieces as I please."

"What's the use of being tough at this time? You're transporting supplies to the bandits, collaborating with the Turks, and each of the things you do is more disgusting than the last. Why do you pretend to be so righteous, and who are you doing it for?"

"Hmph! How did you find me?"

"You look down on me too much. You went to the front to detect intelligence. When you saw the ambush, you said there were 50 people, not more than 200. But since you have confirmed that there is an ambush in the front, you, a lieutenant in Yanmen Pass, must have some experience, even if you have experienced hundreds of battles. War experience, no matter how many people are ambushed and the place is well prepared, it is always extremely dangerous. You actually advised me to keep moving forward. Do you really think I don’t understand anything?"

Yang Guang's self-disguise played a decisive role in the past. Gao Huairong underestimated the enemy too much. He simply thought that Yang Guang was a fool who liked success, so he did things without thinking too much.

"Kill or behead me as you wish, Your Majesty the Wheel of Reincarnation will protect me."

Now that things have happened, Gao Huairong has stopped acting.

"I'll give you a chance to commit suicide and bury your faith."

Yang Guang's words were beyond everyone's expectations. He took out a sword and stood in front of Gao Huairong, pointing at the position of his heart: "If you move forward now, the sword will pierce your heart. You can go I see you are a Buddha."

But Gao Huairong, who was tough on his words, swallowed his saliva at this moment and did not dare to act.

If he really dared to die, he would have taken action when he was caught. The belief he shouted in his mouth did not seem to be as firm as what he said.

Yang Guang knew at the first try that he still wanted to live a greedy life, and Yang Guang was not afraid that he would really commit suicide. If he really had this consciousness, it would be useless to keep him, and he would not be able to find out anything.

Looking at Gao Huairong who was a little panicked, Yang Guang said: "I choose to give you a way to survive. What I want is to increase the credit for wiping out the bandits. It doesn't matter whether I catch or release you, a small fish and shrimp. If you can Help me destroy the bandits, and I can spare your life."

"Really...really?"

"Once a word is made, it is difficult to follow. Today, you all testify that if you help me to suppress the bandits, I will definitely let you live."

Gao Huairong wanted to live. He didn't know whether Yang Guang's words were true or false, but this was his only chance. Yang Guang immediately retreated, leaving only Li Feng.

Seeing Gao Huairong like that, Yang Guang asked him: "How do you contact the bandits?"

"I...I...I" Hesitant Gao Huairong finally spoke: "Let's start a year ago. Liu Kuang from Shuozhou City came to me with a woman. The woman was extremely beautiful. She was said to be a She is a pure and extremely beautiful saint from the Ye Tan Buddhist Kingdom. I pretended to believe in the Chakravartin Buddha to get close to the saint, and helped Liu Kuang transport supplies between the Yi Ye Tan Buddhist Kingdom, and the price Liu Kuang gave me was very high, so I kept doing it, and every day I Yue Hui will find time to go to the mountain to meet the saint, and it will be worth it just to see the saint once."

Yang Guang couldn't tell whether this was a love brain, a lustful mind, or someone who had drugged him. Looking at the way he looked when he talked about the saint, he knew that his words were probably true.

"So, you know the detailed route to the cottage." "Yes, and because my identity is hidden, the route I took is hidden and many people don't know about it."

"That's fine. Take us on a trip. The monk soldiers suffered a lot of casualties. Strike while the iron is hot."

Gao Huairong immediately said: "His Royal Highness, King Jin, Gao Huairong is willing to serve you front and back, and is willing to be your vanguard. I also ask your Highness to forgive the general for what he did before. And if your Highness can agree to the general, after defeating the bandits, can he The saint gives way to the general."

Yang Guang's eyes widened and he stared at Gao Huairong. Gao Huairong seemed to see a dark evil beast staring at him, staring at his ugly desires and endless greed, as if these dark things were his nourishment. , he wanted to swallow himself in one gulp.

"Okay! I like people like you. People have to have desires. How can we move forward without desires? Take me to the mountain village. The bandits don't know yet that you have become mine. I'm going to do it. Neiying, you can rest assured that you will have a much better future by following me than in this small pass. She is just a little saint. I will reward you. If you do well, I can reward you with many more women and money. You will have whatever you want. .”

Hearing this, Gao Huairong felt that it was a blessing in disguise. He joined King Jin's sect and this was his true rise to success.

And King Jin seems to be as full of desire and as greedy as he is.

"The general is willing to ride through fire and water for His Highness."

Yang Guang gave two personal guards to serve as Gao Huairong's subordinates, and then untied Gao Huairong. After giving instructions, he secretly released them. Before leaving, he gave one more instruction: "Gao Huairong, you are now my subordinate. Once we meet the people in the cottage, we will act according to the plan together."

"Follow your highness."

When Yang Guang came back, everyone found that Gao Huairong was missing. Qin Qiong had just treated the wound and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, where is Gao Huairong?"

Yang Guang did not answer him, but said: "The whole army is marching."

Now only Li Feng and Yang Guang know about this matter. Li Feng followed Yang Guang with some worry: "Your Highness, what if Gao Huairong regrets?"

"Now he has two choices. Believe me and do meritorious service to help me. If you don't believe me, he will join the stronghold and become a thief. He is the deputy general of Yanmen Pass and knows the strength of the Sui army best. If I return empty-handed this time, The army will surely wipe him out one day, and he will have no way to survive. As long as he is not stupid and does not truly believe in the wheeling Buddha, he should make the right choice."

Li Feng asked no more questions.

At the rear of the team, Qin Qiong and the injured Zhou Wu were walking together. Qin Qiong persuaded: "Brother Zhou Wu, there is still a long way to go to the stronghold. Your leg is injured, so you should rest where you are."

Zhou Wu said nonchalantly: "It's just a minor injury. Why don't you go and see what happened to annihilate these bandits? It's not fun if you don't see it with your own eyes."

"Brother Zhou Wu is such a sweetheart. You and I get along very well. I have to advise you that His Highness King Jin is interested in recruiting you. It is also a rare opportunity for you, brother. Why not join him?"

Looking at Yang Guang's back from a distance, Zhou Wu sighed: "I am used to being idle and have a lazy temper. If I stay with His Highness Prince Jin, I may cause trouble for His Highness at some point."

"Your Highness is a man of great wisdom. Look at Lai Hu'er's temperament, which is far worse than yours. Your Highness can tolerate him, and Lai Hu'er respects Your Highness very much."

Zhou Wu couldn't help but nodded: "His Highness is indeed a very human being. He could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Gao Huairong, so you and I should be on guard."

"So, good birds choose trees to roost in. Your Highness is truly a talented person. You and I should be able to repay him."

Zhou Wu sighed softly: "Let's wait and see. When the bandits are defeated, I will go home to say goodbye to my parents at home and go with His Highness. Although the relationship with my father is tense, I can follow His Highness. I think it will be a glorious ancestor. My parents will Will be happy."

"Brother Zhou is such a filial man. Are you a local?"

"My home is in Shuozhou City."

"That's a coincidence. When we destroy the stronghold, we will return to Shuozhou City. We are all on the same road, so we have a lot of fate."

Qin Qiong and Zhou Wu chatted happily. They were so late in meeting each other that they even wished they could become sworn brothers today. They agreed to become brothers with different surnames when they arrived in Shuozhou later.

……

Gao Huairong led two of his subordinates along his own path to the joint first. When he saw the people in the village, he yelled: "Third brother, you are not kind. I have already discussed it with you. Don't act rashly. How can you still be right?" I fired the arrow."

"That's not to say I'm a little too nervous. I've never faced an opponent of this level."

The words were gentle, but the opponent's knife had already been unsheathed and pointed directly at Gao Huairong's neck.
