Jinghong Tower

Chapter 275 The knife falls from the hand

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Deng felt a chill on his neck. Then, he felt a stream of heat spurting out from his neck. He wanted to reach out and touch it, but he couldn't lift his hand. The sword instantly His head was separated from his neck and put into a leather bag around his waist.

He Ran had heard Xiaoba talk about crybabies, and when she dared to barge in, she expected the cries of ghosts and wolves that followed one after another.

But when she cut off Zhou Deng's head, she didn't hear any crying.

Although there were no lights in the house, these people had been in the dark for a long time. Even if they couldn't see the faces of the people coming, they could still see the swords being raised and falling.

They saw it, but they didn't dare to speak out. They wished they could make themselves transparent.

Once upon a time, they were dodder flowers parasitic on Zhou Deng. Without Zhou Deng, they would not be able to survive.

But now they saw Zhou Deng dead, but they didn't want to die.

Although they are imprisoned here, they don't want to die. They are young and beautiful. Maybe Sun Wenchi will take a fancy to them and take them away from here and let them live their old life again.

They either hid under the quilt or covered their mouths tightly with their hands to prevent themselves from screaming.

He Ran's eyes swept over the women, and finally looked at the other bed.

She walked over and saw the person lying on the bed. The person was not sleeping either. He was staring at her in horror.

This is the King of Kaizhou.

The woman next to King Kaizhou trembled with fear, rolled off the bed, and rolled under the bed.

He Ran ignored them. She took a step forward and got closer to the state king.

She leaned in front of King Kaizhou and whispered: "On the first day of April, the person who achieved the first performance of the Zhou Dynasty Prime Minister in Kaizhou City was Ran Jun He Ran!"

He was the king, and He Ran gave him the respect a prince should have, letting him know the anniversary of his death, and also letting him know who killed him.

With the sword in hand, Liu Xia stepped forward and put King Kaizhou's head into the leather bag.

The two quickly exited, and it wasn't until the two jumped out of the window that the guards in the yard heard the movement.

"Someone escaped!"

Hearing the sound of rapid footsteps behind them, He Ran and Liu Xia climbed up the wall and left the courtyard.

"Zhou Deng has escaped, chase quickly, Zhou Deng has escaped!"

He Ran found it funny. When these people saw them breaking out of the window, they thought the people inside had escaped.

King Kaizhou was paralyzed on the bed, so in their opinion, the only one who could escape was Zhou Deng.

These people really overestimated Zhou Deng. Zhou Deng was seriously injured and had to be supported by his concubines when he walked. Not to mention the broken window, he had trouble even getting in and out of bed, so how could he possibly escape.

The responders rushed over and separated He Ran and Liu Xia from the pursuers.

"Master, leave quickly, we will cover you!"

He Ran nodded to them and took the lead in rushing out of the palace with Liu Xia. At dawn, people came out of the secret passage one after another. The last two people who came out carried the corpse of a companion on their shoulders.

He Ran walked over and closed their eyes with her own hands. She remembered them. They were all descendants of the He family army who followed her from Qingcang Mountain.

It was daylight, and He Dali was cursing at the city gate again. Different from the previous few days, behind He Dali today were two tall bamboo poles, with a human head hanging on each pole.

He Dali shouted loudly: "Listen to the Kaizhou army, King Kaizhou and his son Wang are dead. Now you are commanded by Sun Wenchi. His surname is Sun. He is the power of the long history, not a descendant of the Zhou family, and Kaizhou Wang has nothing to do with it.

The father and son named Sun are a bastard and a tortoise grandson. You are all good men from the Central Plains. If you are asked to work for them, are they worthy?
Did they also say that King Kaizhou was not dead and Zhou Deng was not dead, but they were both still alive and well? Are you saying this head is fake?

I bother!

Open your eyes and take a good look. Is the person on this bamboo pole the king of Kaizhou, Zhou Deng?

Brothers, don't listen to that bastard's nonsense. Those who want to open the city gates can do so. Those who want to join the Ran Army are welcome. The Ran Army will not harm the people when entering the city and will treat the prisoners well.

If you still want to continue to receive military pay, then stay in the army. We also have many brothers in the army. We used to be in the Jin army and the imperial army, but now they are like us. Everyone eats in the same pot and sleeps in the same tent. They are good brothers.

If you miss your wife and children at home, don't want to join the army, and put down your weapons, you are a common citizen and you can go home if you want, and we will never stop you. "

He Dali spoke in a rough voice, speaking plainly and occasionally with a few curse words, but when the soldiers heard it, they felt at ease.

He Dali kept shouting all morning. When he felt his mouth was dry, he drank a pot of water and continued shouting.

Ji Xiaomin ran out of the secret passage again: "Master, there's a fight in the city!"

He Ran smiled and handed him a pear. Ji Xiaomin took a bite, sweet water flowed down the corner of his mouth, and he wiped it with his sleeve.

"When Wu Chengqian's subordinates learned that King Kaizhou and his son were dead, they went to report the news to Wu Chengqian. Although Wu Chengqian was injured, his brain was not damaged. When he heard that, he became anxious and asked his son to lead the troops out of the city. Grab the heads of King Kaizhou and his son.

However, it was discovered after this troop deployment that he could not be mobilized. He was injured for only a few days before Sun Wenchi took away his military power.

Although Wu Chengqian could not mobilize the Kaizhou Army, he still had his own soldiers. Besides, he had led the army for many years. Although he had no right to mobilize the troops now, those generals and soldiers were still his.

When Wu Chengqian's son came to the army and told him, there was an uproar in the army. Only then did the soldiers know that their beloved Marshal Wu had been deprived of military power. "

He Ran laughed loudly; "Wu Chengqian rebelled?"

Ji Xiaomin nodded like a fool: "Yes, this is called mutiny. I also wanted to say rebellion. This is mutiny. When I came out, Wu Chengqian's son had already led people to surround the palace, shouting for Sun Wenchi and his father to When he came out, he also said that Sun Wenchi was pretending to be a descendant of the royal family. In fact, he was the son of Sun Changshi and was not a descendant of the Zhou family at all.

However, Sun Wenchi and his father held on and did not come out. At this moment, Wu Chengqian's son Ba Cheng had already rushed in with his troops. "

He Ran said to Xiaoli: "Tell He Dali, if Wu Chengqian and his son surrender, I will entrust him with an important task!
In addition, Zhou Xiang and his son should also be buried generously! "

If nothing else, he just pointed out that Wu Chengqian was lying on the hospital bed and wanted to snatch the heads of King Kaizhou and his son. He Ran also respected him as a hero.

He Dali was already experienced in the scolding formation. After He Ran's order, He Dali immediately changed his tone and stopped scolding his mother and using foul language. He kept respecting Wu Chengqian and his son, and promised Ruo, he would King Kaizhou and Zhou Deng were given generous burials.

He Dali kept talking about it earnestly all afternoon. In the evening, the closed city gate finally opened slowly.
