Even if he is about to die, he still has to protect that person. It is simply hopeless!

"You want me to spare your life? Then why didn't you spare Youwei's life in the first place? If my life hadn't been saved, I would have been a ghost today! The Guan family army is the hard work of me and all the brothers, and taking it back is just a

It’s a matter of time. What qualifications do you, a traitor, have to negotiate with me? Let’s go to hell together with this piece of work!”

Guan Tianlei summoned his inner strength and swung out a sharp sword, cutting off Gao Dan's arm in the blink of an eye.

The aftermath of the sword energy shot to the surroundings, killing Liu Yingying and several concubines on the spot as they were dodging left and right.

The frightened screams spread out along with the red carpet on the ground, and Guan Tianlei shocked the entire audience with just one move.

Gao Dan looked at his fallen lover with cracked eyes, covering his wounds with shock and anger: "Guan Tianlei, you deserve to die——!"

With no weak person to protect, he no longer hesitated and rushed forward to fight as soon as he raised his sword, as if he wanted to kill the enemy to avenge Liu Yingying.

Guan Tianlei snorted coldly, and responded to Gao Dan's counterattacks with ease. In just a few moves, he defeated the opponent steadily, just like walking a dog, making Gao Dan unable to advance or retreat.

Gao Dan was thinking of ways to escape while exchanging blows, but the scars on his body were increasing one after another.

After losing too much blood, his body gradually became dizzy and exhausted, and the long sword in his hand was about to fall out.

Knowing that he would be killed if he didn't escape, Gao Dan no longer wanted to fight. He made a false move and immediately ran back. Revenge for love is just a cover to confuse his opponent.

"Quick! Cover me! The crown prince's secret guard is not far from here. Send someone to Laixi County for help immediately!"

Gao Dan directed his soldiers to take action, hoping to save his life before reinforcements arrived.

However, the Chiyan Army has always had loose military discipline and neglected training, and it had no power to resist the Song family's army, which had powerful soldiers and generals.

It is not necessary to use all the 5,000 soldiers and horses brought by Guan Tianlei. Only 1,000 people are needed to go out to fight, and the remaining people will surround the battlefield in a circle to prevent deserters from slipping through the net.

What happened next was as simple as chopping melons and vegetables. The "elite soldiers" of the Red Flame Army fell one by one in the encirclement.

Guan Tianlei, who was outside the circle, used Qinggong to catch up with Gao Dan, and used all his strength to draw the last sword.

Gao Dan was caught off guard by this heavy blow, and his scarred body immediately fell to the dusty ground. A large mouthful of blood flowed out accompanied by choking and coughing. It didn't take long for him to stare at his eyes and give up his breath.

As soon as the rest of the Red Flame Army saw that their leader had expired, they immediately fled or abandoned their weapons and surrendered. However, this team had done so many evil things following Gao Dan that Guan Tianlei would not allow them to leave alive.

After a while, the small battlefield returned to calm.

Gao Dan and his subordinates were all killed, but Guan Tianlei and the Song family army behind him were unscathed.

The group of people found some secret messages from Gao Dan's luggage, then rode away with their horses and whips.

Guan Tianlei, who had avenged his great revenge, looked at the official road leading to Laixi County, narrowed his eyes and ordered: "Send a team of seven people back to Qizhou Mansion to recover, and the rest will follow me to explore Laixi first.

"

I don’t know whether Gao Dan’s words before his death were true or false. How could the Xiao family’s spies be lurking so close?

Could Xiao Yueze be here too? He really wanted to meet this person in person.

…

Seven days later, in Datian County next door to Laixi County, Xiao Yueze was resting in a remote courtyard.

Several close subordinates stood aside, listening to the Xiao family's scouts reporting the news from the front line.

"Guan Tianlei took 5,000 soldiers and horses to search Laixi County. Our stronghold there has been completely destroyed by him. Several secret guards stationed at the stronghold were also killed. I don't know if he was interrogated before he died or what he revealed.

information."

"Before Guan Tianlei returned to Qizhou, Song Xi had already conquered Zhushan, Donglai and several surrounding prefectures. Guan Tianlei followed behind to help Song Xi organize the internal affairs of each prefecture. Beidi was also receiving a steady stream of supplies.

They provide food and support."

"Previously, we hired a group of gangsters to assassinate Song Xi. Unexpectedly, they were shot dead with an inexplicable hidden weapon as soon as they entered the camp. My subordinates observed it from a distance and felt that the hidden weapon seemed to be a long black pipe. Specifically,

I’m not sure about its appearance. I just know that the tail is slightly curved and can be held in hand. The speed of the concealed weapon is extremely fast, and even with the strongest Qinggong, it is difficult to dodge it.”

"It is said that the Song family also brought a legendary mysterious weapon to this war. My subordinates found out that it is called the 'Shenwu Cannon'. When it is launched, it will shake the world. However, Song Xi is not on the Qilu battlefield yet.

Although it has been used, my subordinates have never seen the true appearance of this Shenwu cannon. Zhang Zhiyuan did use it on the Yuzhou battlefield, but unfortunately there were no surviving witnesses from the Red Flame Army present."

The news brought by the scouts made everyone look solemn, and they didn't know where to start if they wanted to make some useful suggestions.

The speed of the Song Army's siege is too terrifying, and it may not take too long to conquer the central provinces.

But it will take a lot of time to seize the throne. They must block Song Xi's progress. Now is not the best time for the Xiao family to go to war. They have to accumulate some more strength to ensure the final victory.

Xiao Yueze thought silently, tapping his slender index finger lightly on the rosewood table.

He quickly went through all the feasible options in his mind, but no one could really stop Song Xi.

The slightly drooped peach blossom eyes looked at the map on the table again and again, and finally stopped at Gaoping Mansion, located in the south of Qilu. He remembered that there was a huge reservoir built on the mountain in Gaoping Mansion. If the reservoir collapsed...

My eyes moved slightly around the reservoir, and I found that there were several large towns nearby. The towns were connected in all directions and the official roads crisscrossed them. It was obvious that they were the only roads that the army would pass through after heading south.

If such a big problem occurs in Gaoping Mansion, Song Xi will not be able to lead the army to move forward. With so many people suffering and suffering, and there are floods blocking the road ahead, can the Song family army, known as the army of benevolence and righteousness, ignore it?

You have to spend several months in this Gaoping Mansion, right?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt this was the best plan.

"Call back all the people deployed in Qilu and use all your strength to destroy the Gaoping Reservoir. Xiao Zhong will stay to deal with the matter, and the rest will follow me to Yuzhou."

The confidants present were a little surprised by this order. They did not expect that the prince actually planned to use a flood to block the road.

But there are at least hundreds of thousands of people living near the reservoir. Wouldn't this mean that they would die inexplicably?

After thinking about it, I felt that the great cause of the Xiao family was more important. This sacrifice should be nothing. It was not the Xiao family's personnel anyway. Let Song Xi bear any sins.

Having made the decision, Xiao Yueze ignored other people's thoughts, just arranged the follow-up matters and prepared to leave.

Qilu is no longer of much use, and the rest will be left to the Chiyan Army and Flood to solve.

He now has to rush to southern Yuzhou and take advantage of the end of the plague to make another trap.

If he succeeds, he will definitely catch the Yu family. It will be much easier to control Song Xi and seize the north in the future.
