Chapter 351 How Did He Die?

King Qian Song understood what Old Master Ji meant.

That's right, the death of these hostages actually didn't have much impact on Qian Song, the important thing was their elders in the court.

These people should also know the consequences of paying this huge ransom, but if they just ignore the hostages, it will chill the hearts of these people again.

Mr. Ji advocated that instead of paying the ransom, he would directly send someone to rescue them. The hostages would almost certainly be killed or injured, and it is unknown if they would all be killed by the prairie people to vent their anger.

But he made another rescue operation, but the prairie people were too cruel, which made the operation unsuccessful.

At that time, some people will still complain about the court, but no one can say anything, because the court did not ignore their children, but sent troops to rescue them quickly.

Ordinary people will even think that the imperial court is tough, and have a stronger hatred of the grassland people.

It's just that it would be too cruel to really do this. This is equivalent to announcing the death of those 150 people in advance!
In doing so, although on the surface they made an act of rescuing the hostages, in fact, they had no intention of actually rescuing them from the very beginning, but it was purely to calm the impact of this incident.

"I can only do this, I can only prepare for the worst... just treat them... as dead."

It was also extremely difficult for Mr. Ji to say this sentence, as if the lives of those 150 people were not their lives, but just a tiny number.

This small number is nothing compared to Qian Song's overall situation, so he made a choice—abandon it.

King Qian Song opened his mouth slightly, but was unable to speak.

As the king of Qiansong, he knows far more than ordinary people.The hostages on Dale Mountain were hijacked, and after this incident was reported, he already knew most of the details.

He knew that Lu Ning, the son of Lu Xiu, the servant of the Ministry of Justice, was the first to die. He knew that Tan Yi was killed by Nalong, and he even knew all the names of the remaining 150 people who were taken away.

Because all of this has been written down in detail by Qiu Wendong in the secret memorial presented to him.

Therefore, he knew that among the 150 seven names, two began with Ji, and they were Ji Bingyun and Ji He.

They are the granddaughter and grandson of Mr. Ji...

It is impossible for Mr. Ji not to know about the two of them going to Pingwei City.

He knew that his own granddaughter and grandson were also taken away, and he knew that they were still alive and had hope of being rescued, but he wanted to pretend that they were dead.

What he did was only for the overall situation of Qian Song Dynasty.

How cruel, how cruel...

King Qian Song asked himself, if there were children of his own among the robbed people, even if he was from the most ruthless royal family in the rumors, he might not be able to make this decision so quickly.

Human hearts are fleshy, and people are selfish.

He stood up slowly, and gave a long bow to Mr. Ji.Old Master Ji didn't help him, his face was gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

"Let me think about it again..." King Qian Song looked very tired.

Old Master Ji arched his hands slightly, got up and walked towards the study.

From the beginning to the end, the two deliberately did not mention Ji Bingyun and Ji He, as if the two of them had nothing to do with this matter.

King Qian Song lowered his head, he couldn't bear to look at Mr. Ji's slightly bent and shambling back.

boom!
The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground awakened him who was in deep thought, and then the exclamation of the palace eunuchs sounded outside.

"My lord! What's the matter with you?"

"My lord! My lord?"

King Qian Song hurriedly looked up, and saw that outside the threshold of the study, Mr. Ji fell to the ground motionless, as if he had tripped over the threshold.

He rushed over quickly, pushed aside the two palace servants who came first, squatted on the ground and hugged Mr. Ji's insignificant old body, only to find that his face had been smashed and he was in a coma. past.

"Come on! Come on! Call the imperial doctor!" he shouted.

……

An hour later, the news that the prairie people had taken 150 hostages spread, even the traffickers in the market had already heard the news.

Because Qian Song's appeal to rescue the hostages has been posted all over the street.

The proclamation briefly explained the incident, but the description of the amount of ransom demanded by the prairie people was expanded tenfold!
For a while, the people in Dingchuan City were furious, and everyone asked for a fight.

Even if the families of the hostages knew that the rescue might cause the prairie people to kill to vent their anger, they were powerless to say anything in the face of such a sky-high compensation amount. They could only choose to support King Qian Song.

They took the initiative to send practitioners from their own family as guards to assist the military with all their strength, and joined this vigorous hostage rescue operation.

……

Nalong's more than 2000 people took the hostages with them, and after traveling for hundreds of miles, there were still no pursuers behind them.

He couldn't help but wipe off the cold sweat in his heart. In fact, he was also afraid that the Qian Song people would keep doing two things and really want to keep them all there regardless of the safety of the hostages.

He knew that there were at least seven or eight Jijing people who had not come down from Changhua Mountain at that time. If the battle continued, those people would join Qiu Wendong's side. Not to mention the more than 2000 people under his command, even he might not be able to retreat unscathed.

However, now that he has completely entered the grassland, it is useless for them to chase after him.

On the grassland, how could the Qiansong people be faster than the grassland cavalry?
It seems that the value of these hostages is greater than what I imagined!If I had known earlier, I should have raised the price a bit more!

It's all because of that damn guy Su Mo, who didn't show up at the critical moment, which made him lack confidence, not to mention killing Qiu Wendong by the way!
Especially this time so many people died on my side, don't think that I will share the ransom with him equally, it would be great if he could be equal to himself, hum!
At this time, he was extremely dissatisfied with Su Mo. If he hadn't delayed the time, his own people would not have died so much.

If he had come down earlier and joined forces with himself, Qiu Wendong would never have survived!

His heart was full of anger, and then tens of thousands of prairie cavalry appeared in front of him.

After seeing these people, his heart became even more angry.

Thousands of miles around the border with Qiansong is his territory, and the people who appear here are naturally his troops.

These people were originally arranged by him in advance to meet and support him, because before departure, he could not gather so many people for a while.

He and Su Mo had ambushed near Dale Mountain yesterday, and now that the sky was getting dark, this group of people had just appeared.

This is much later than he expected!
If this group of people appeared earlier, he wouldn't even need to threaten Qiu Wendong with hostages, but would directly wipe out all the Qiansong defenders in Changhua Mountain!

Although the goal of taking hostages was finally achieved successfully, it did not make him happy.

If there were any accidents in Changhua Mountain, he would have been wiped out now!
So when the tens of thousands of cavalrymen walked more than ten feet in front of him, he couldn't help but yelled: "Sado! Hetu! What are you two doing? Why are you here so late? You two didn't eat but Did you eat feces? Your legs are weak!"

Facing his scolding, the two leaders who were named by him in the opposite ten thousand team did not say a word, and dared not refute a word.

Grassland people are respected by their strength, and there is a big difference in status, and the status is far apart.

Even though Sado and Hetu, who were at the extreme level, commanded tens of thousands of people, they didn't dare to do anything wrong in front of Nalong.

The two hurriedly dismounted and went forward to apologize and explain.

Their first sentence made Nalong pale with fright, and almost fell off his horse.

"Master Sumo has returned to the arms of the gods!"

"What did you say? Say it again?" Nalong was stunned, wondering if he heard it wrong.

"Lord Sumo is dead!" Sado repeated.

Immediately, all the people behind Nalong who heard this sentence changed their expressions.

Of the more than 500 people behind Nalong, 2000 of them are Sumo's direct descendants. As soon as the news came out, it seemed that a pot exploded behind him.

"You are talking nonsense! I don't believe it! How could Lord Sumo die! How dare you curse Lord Sumo!" Wucha roared and jumped off the horse, grabbing Sado by the collar.

His eyes were red, and he looked crazy, as if Sado refused to admit that what he was telling was a lie, and he was going to duel with the other party.

Not only him, more than 2000 people in the rear almost all pulled out their scimitars, which looked like they were going to choose someone to kill.

After Su Mo died, they were the same as the tens of thousands of cavalrymen before, naturally they were very angry and even panicked.But at the same time, there were other reasons why they were so excited.

The prairie people are not as united as Qian Song, just like Su Mo, who killed many people when he came to power.

His direct descendants attached to him and became the masters of that territory.

If he dies, someone else will soon take over his domain.

The best end for these 2000 people is to be recruited by the new owner, but because they are not direct descendants of the new owner, their status will plummet, and it will never be as good as it is now.

The worse ending would be to be dispatched, or to use them as cannon fodder for the next battle against the Moon Kingdom.

And before the arrival of the new owner, their territory will also be harassed by the surrounding territories because they do not have a boundary breaking expert...

Therefore, when Su Mo died, they were even more saddened and excited than when their parents died. Naturally, they couldn't accept this result!

Saduo is afraid of Nalong, but he is not afraid of Wucha, who is also in the extreme.

He didn't care how fierce Wucha's expression was, he pushed him away, and then took a cloth bag from the saddle behind him.

He handed the cloth bag forward, and everyone seemed to understand what was in the cloth bag.

With trembling hands, Wucha untied the cloth bag tremblingly.

Then he wailed loudly.

Not only him, but the 2000 people behind him also burst into tears.

The cloth bag had been untied, and what appeared inside was Sumo's head.

The blood under the head was not completely dry, and the eyes were not closed, and Nalong could see the strong disbelief in those wide-open eyes.

He couldn't believe it himself.

Somo actually died?Died like this?Who killed him?

One moment before, he was still complaining about his delay in showing up, but the next moment, his head appeared in front of him.

This strong impact, even Nalong in the early stage of breaking through the realm, couldn't help feeling a wave of fear!
Su Mo's strength was similar to his, so if that person could kill him, what about himself?
He tried his best to calm down and asked calmly, "How did he die?"
