Chapter two hundred and forty second ceremony
"Not bad! You must check carefully and don't let a thief go!" The voice of British Duke Zhang Yuangong also came from the carriage, but he bit the word "thief".
Li Chengliang bowed again and said, "Please rest assured, my father-in-law and the prince. I will never let a thief go!"
Amid the praises of the two, Li Chengliang came to the front of the team. He had been following him and Li Ruzhang said anxiously: "Dad! Are we really going to fight with Marquis Jingbei? Brother is still there..."
Li Chengliang waved his hand to interrupt his son and said, "Ruzhang! When I sent your elder brother to Xishan, it was for our Li family and those who followed our Li family. Now the army is still for our Li family.
If something happens to Li Fan and there is a chaos in Henggang City, if we don’t take action, there will be others who will take action. Do you understand?
That’s all I can bring your elder brother back then! I believe that the two imperial envoys will give this little face!"
"Dad! What if Li Fan didn't say the same thing as the elder brother?" Li Ruzhang continued to ask.
Li Chengliang pondered for a moment and said, "So what if Li Fan is fine? Henggang City is empty and rich. Instead of being cheaper to others, it is better to be cheaper to our Li family!"
Seeing that his son was still talking, Li Chengliang continued, "Ruzhang! You can still stand alone when you grow up. But you must remember that no matter when you arrive, you must put the Li family first, and the rest can be abandoned!"
Li Ruzhang widened his eyes, as if he didn't know his father, and he didn't say a word for a long time. Li Chengliang ignored his son and went to inspect the entire team.
Night is natural for people of this era. Especially when marching and fighting, night wars are often avoided.
People in this era generally lack vitamins and most of them suffer from night blindness. They can’t see clearly at night, so don’t mention fighting.
Often, a soldier screams at night, which will cause chaos and there will be many heavy casualties.
Without any last resort, no general will choose to fight at night, and even if the marching is at night, try to avoid it.
Li Chengliang had no choice but to order to rush to the night. Even if everyone was on torches, they were always careful, fearing accidents.
Fortunately, there was no accident along the way. It was not until a faint blue appeared in the sky that Li Chengliang's heart was relieved.
The long night is finally over, and the sky will be bright in half an hour, so there is no need to be as worried as it is now.
The soldiers should also give them some rest after walking all night. Eat and drink before going on the road, and even encounter emergencies will be easy to deal with.
Li Chengliang immediately ordered everyone to rest, the team stopped, and the soldiers couldn't wait to sit on the ground and gasp.
After a night of march, even the elite Liaodong soldiers were exhausted. Finally, they could rest for a while, and they took out the dry food and started eating it with clean water.
Li Chengliang also chose Kuai Dashi to sit down. His personal soldiers brought them to eat. He chewed the dry food in his mouth. Li Chengliang began to think about Henggang City.
If what his son said was true and Li Fan was really not dead, why did his subordinates accept the imperial edict and why did they transfer it?
Unless..., unless Henggang City is a trap!
Thinking of this, the dry food in Li Chengliang's hand fell to the ground, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on the vest.
Without waiting for his order, the sound of cannons sounded from a distance, and then shells fell from the sky and fell in front of the camp.
Li Chengliang stood up from the ground and shouted at the top of his voice: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Quickly line up!"
The soldiers who were resting heard the sound of cannons and hurriedly picked up their weapons to prepare to face the enemy. Who had the intention to find the torch in the chaos? Many soldiers who couldn't see clearly collided together.
Maybe the soldier was too nervous, maybe it was accidental, maybe it was because he had hatred before, and a soldier fell to the ground after being injured and screamed like a pig.
The explosion, the stimulation of the fire, and blood made the soldiers extremely nervous. I don’t know who stabbed his companions, and the camp was in chaos almost instantly.
The soldiers wielded their weapons mechanically, without dodging or slaughtering, and appeared in front of anyone, with flesh and blood flying around in the camp, screams kept coming.
Li Chengliang looked at the chaotic camp in a daze, and it took him a long time to spit out two words from his mouth, "Campo!"
"Dad! Why are you still here? Let's go! The soldiers are crazy and don't obey orders at all!" Li Ruzhang rushed to his father with a horse and shouted loudly.
Li Chengliang suddenly reacted, jumped onto the war horse and said, "How about the servants?"
"Dad don't worry! The servants were taken out of the camp by their children in a separate camp!" Li Ruzhang said after his father.
"That's good! That's good!" Li Chengliang felt relieved, but he always felt that he had forgotten something.
...
On a carriage in chaos, Feng Bao was so scared that his face turned pale. He lifted a corner of the curtain of the carriage, looked out, and then sat back with a scream.
Zhang Yuangong covered Feng Bao's mouth and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up! If you want to survive, don't speak out!"
At first, Feng Bao was still struggling violently, but when a steel knife pierced the carriage and exposed the tip of the knife inside, Feng Bao's eyes almost protruded, his body became soft and stopped moving, but there was an unknown liquid under him.
Zhang Yuangong didn't dare to breathe. After a while, he sent him to cover Feng Bao's hand, made a ban on voice, and said in an extremely low voice: "Eunuch Feng! This is the camp roar, the soldiers are crazy, and they can't stop until they die!
Let’s not speak out, if they don’t notice us, we can survive!”
"What if they discovered it?" Feng Bao smelled it timidly.
"Then wait for the corpse to be dismembered by the rampart!" Zhang Yuangong's words made Feng Bao dare not move.
I don’t know how long it took, but the shouts of killing outside stopped. Zhang Yuangong carefully poked his head out and took a look, and his stomach was churning.
The outside was almost stained with blood, and there were incomplete corpses everywhere. The soldiers opened their eyes wide, showing fear before their death.
Some of the soldiers who were seriously injured and undead were wailing, some were dazed, and some stabbed their swords into their bodies.
It was so miserable! Just after a glance, Zhang Yuangong couldn't help but vomit. He had heard of it ten thousand times, but it was better to see Ying Xiao with his own eyes terrifyingly.
He didn't want to stay in the camp for a moment, so he carefully climbed out of the carriage and pulled Feng Bao out.
As soon as I walked to the camp gate, the sound of chariots crushing the ground in the distance sounded, and countless chariots came over with rolling smoke and dust.
"Li..., Li Fan's army?"
Zhang Yuangong's eyes widened, his legs trembled and he didn't know whether he should go back to the camp. Feng Bao couldn't move a step and stood there at a loss.
Chapter completed!
