Chapter 309 Death of Prince Jing
It's midsummer.
But the wind on the top of Liangzhou City is still a little chilly.
The setting sun is as red as blood, and the weary birds return to the forest.
The smoke from the battlefield has not yet dissipated, but the city wall is unusually quiet at this moment.
Only a few dozen Liangzhou rebels remained, surrounded by the Nanqi Army. Li Gan stood distraught among the rebels, watching his seventh brother approach with his men.
That Li Guo who had never caught his eye!
The seventh brother was a scoundrel, uneducated and unlearned from childhood, fond of hanging out on the streets. He spent his days either cockfighting or sleeping with prostitutes, earning him a terrible reputation in Shengjing.
He never took such a person seriously.
Even later, when his seventh brother began to show his talent and gradually caught the emperor's eye, he did not regard him as his rival.
Because he doesn't deserve it!
"Pei Heng! Get out here!"
His eyes passed Li Guo and searched the crowd.
From beginning to end, he lived under Pei Heng's shadow.
It was Pei Heng who pushed him step by step into this bitter and cold place, and it was also Pei Heng who destroyed the results that were already within his grasp bit by bit.
"Pei Heng!"
Li Gan gnashed his teeth and roared at the crowd, "Even now, you're still hiding and refusing to see anyone! You coward!"
The soldiers on Nanqi's side looked at each other in confusion.
How could General Pei be here with them? This Li Gan must be crazy.
Prince Su frowned.
Li Gan's eyes swept over and finally landed on Su Yanzhi.
Su Yanzhi, dressed in a white robe, stood out among the other soldiers. His appearance and temperament were completely different from the Pei Heng he remembered, but he had a strong intuition.
This intuition told him that it was him!
A lifelong rival.
Even if his appearance has changed, he can still be recognized in the crowd at a glance.
"You really are here! Haha, Tuoba Rao said she saw you, and I said she was suspicious, but it turns out you are really here. Pei Heng, you are so good at sneaking around!"
Li Gan laughed wildly.
His slightly bitter laughter echoed on the silent city wall. As he laughed, he began to cry.
"Hahahaha, I've fallen into your hands in this life, Pei Heng, oh, no, cousin, you win! Cousin, why? Why on earth is this happening? We are obviously a family! We are obviously brothers!"
Su Yanzhi, who had been watching Li Gan's performance in silence, finally spoke softly.
"You don't know what brothers are."
"Hahahaha, hahahahahaha!!!" Li Gan laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward. "I don't understand! Yes, I don't understand!"
"Fourth brother! Surrender! Come back with me."
Prince Su shouted from the opposite side.
"Go back? Go back for what? Go back to face your judgment and then lock me up again? I will never go back to that cage-like place in my life!"
Li Gan's voice suddenly became fierce.
Even if he dies, he will take someone with him.
As he looked up, he saw a musket in his hand. With a crackling sound, he lit the fuse of the musket.
"Seventh brother, if I can't get the throne, then neither can you!"
"careful!"
Su Yanzhi was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he threw Prince Su to the ground.
The bullet grazed his body.
At the same time as the gunshots rang out from the other side, a crisp sound of a trigger being pulled was heard from this side.
boom!
Puff puff!
One after the other, two sounds rang out at the same time.
After a brief silence, everyone looked up.
On the Nanqi side, no one was injured.
On the Nanqi side, Song Ci held up the trigger of the crossbow with one hand. The crossbow was still in the triggered state, and she had shot out all the remaining arrows in the quiver in one volley.
Everyone looked in the direction of the crossbow and saw that Li Gan's chest was stuck with more than a dozen short arrows.
He looked down at his chest in disbelief, a bitter smile crossed his shocked face. He was about to say something when a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"go to hell!"
Song Ci was still not satisfied, so he drew out the long sword from his waist and stabbed towards Li Gan.
A sword pierced through the chest.
"You!" Li Gan grabbed Song Ci's shoulders, "You..."
Song Ci's face was filled with hatred, he held the sword tightly, his eyes were red and about to burst into flames,
"That's how you killed my father! I'll return the sword to you!"
"And this knife belongs to Brother Liao!"
Song Ci pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it into Li Gan's heart.
"This knife is from the Zhenbei Army!"
He pulled out the dagger and stabbed Li Gan in the neck again.
"This knife is for the people of the border town!"
"This knife is for all the innocent people who died in the North!!!"
……
Knife after knife!
Song Ci held the long sword with his left hand and stabbed again and again with his right hand, his eyes red with killing intent.
Warm blood gushed out, splashing all over Song Ci's face. But she had no intention of stopping.
"Enough! Enough, Ah Ci!"
It was not until Su Zhe rushed up and held her hand that she woke up as if from a nightmare.
Looking at Li Gan, whose eyes were already dazed and blood was spurting out of him, she immediately pulled back the dagger and sword.
Li Gan staggered and fell straight outside the city wall!
The city wall of Liangzhou City is very high.
Looking from above, the people below look like ants.
Once upon a time, Li Gan stood at the highest point, overlooking all living beings.
Those are all ants under his feet.
And at this moment...
The whistling wind blew past his ears, carrying the smell of gunpowder and blood, and the sky was getting farther and farther away from him.
He stretched out his hand, and the blue sky seemed within reach.
Just like the throne that was once only one step away.
then,
There was a loud bang!
Everything fell into dust!
On the city wall, Song Ci fell to his knees with a thud, tears streaming down his face.
"Rest in peace, father! Your daughter has avenged you!"
……
"Fourth brother."
Prince Su lay on the dilapidated city wall, looking down from above. Li Gan was lying in a pool of blood, looking extremely small.
The fourth brother who was once high and mighty and unattainable to him was really dead this time, died in the dust that he despised the most.
He sighed softly, turned around and said solemnly:
"Prince Jing, Li Gan, committed treason and collaborated with the enemy. His crime is unforgivable! He fought stubbornly in the battle of Liangzhou and refused to repent. When the city fell, he jumped from the tower and committed suicide."
"Yes!" the soldiers shouted in unison.
Prince Su glanced around again and said to Su Yanzhi:
"Also, everything you heard and saw on the city wall today, keep it to yourself. Remember, there's no Pei Heng here, only Mr. Su Yanzhi."
Speaking of Pei Heng, the soldiers could not hide their excitement.
They had never dreamed that the godlike Mr. Su was actually their General Pei. It was no wonder. Who else in this world could rival General Pei on the battlefield? Who else could be so invincible and unstoppable! Who else could terrify the Beimang witch and make her flee without a fight?
"Don't worry, Your Highness! Today, when we followed Your Highness and Mr. Su to attack the city wall, we only saw Li Gan jump to his death. Nothing else happened!"
Lin Wanfu was the first to express his opinion.
Su Zhe was even more excited. He never thought that Mr. Su was his brother-in-law. He was about to step forward but stopped abruptly.
All the soldiers swore in unison.
Although they didn't understand why, there must be a good reason why His Highness and General Pei were so cautious.
"Hahahahaha, Pei Heng, you deceived the emperor and led the troops north to plot evil. You also colluded with Prince Su to deceive the emperor. I will definitely report you to the emperor! Uh..."
