Chapter 144 Killing Jiang Li

Chapter 144 Killing Jiang Li
In Gyeongju City, the setting sun pours down like molten gold.

It dyed the sky a brilliant orange-red, and covered the returning wedding procession with a layer of golden glow.

The procession was huge, and the sounds of horse hooves, wheels and festive firecrackers intertwined and echoed in Gyeongju City.

The outline of Lu Mansion gradually became clear in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The blue bricks, black tiles, flying eaves and pointed corners make the building look more solemn and festive at this moment.

In front of the door, two stone lions are guarding majestically, as if they are also looking forward to the return of the newlyweds.

The door had already been opened, letting in warm and bright light.

In the wedding procession, whether it was the relatives and friends wearing gorgeous clothes, or the guards shouldering heavy responsibilities, their faces were filled with tired but satisfied smiles.

Lu Yunyi was at the front, with some fatigue in his eyes.

As the day progressed, the wedding process was drawing to a close.

And the careful planning over the past two months will finally be completed.

Lu Yunyi felt a little satisfied. He sat high on his white horse and cast his eyes towards Liu Heying who was waiting in front of the gate of Lu Mansion.

Seeing his determined eyes and his gently nodding head,

Lu Yunyi felt relieved and a big smile broke out on his face.

"Enter the palace!"

The servants who had been waiting came forward to greet them, took the reins of the horses, and led them to the stables.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the beautifully decorated sedan chair.

The curtain of the sedan chair was gently opened, and a bride in a red wedding dress came into view.

She wore a phoenix crown, her face was covered with red silk, and her hands were entangled in front of her body.

The bridesmaid hurried forward and helped the bride carefully step out of the sedan chair.

A brazier with burning charcoal has been placed in front of the Lu Mansion.
The bride needs to step over it, which symbolizes driving away evil spirits and removing bad luck.

The bridesmaid led Miss Liu forward little by little, with a smile on her face.

Miss Liu, hiding under the red veil, looked at the brazier under her feet, felt the heat coming from it, pursed her lips slightly, and took a step over!
At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and then everyone gathered here burst into laughter!

The main hall of the Lu Mansion was decorated in a festive and solemn manner.

Big red "囍" characters were pasted on every corner, and the flickering candlelight illuminated the laughter and joy in the room.

Under the guidance of the bridesmaid, the bride slowly walked into the main hall and stood side by side with Lu Yunyi, facing the elders in the hall and the relatives and friends sitting in the room.

Sitting at the top were Mr. Lu and Liu, not far away stood many respected people of Qingzhou, and on the other side stood many military officers.

As the resounding voice of the ceremonial officer sounded, the final ceremony of the wedding, the "three bows" ceremony, officially began.
The much-anticipated banquet also began after the three bows ceremony.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

In the Qingzhou camp, Jiang Li was half lying on the bed.

Feel the afterglow of the setting sun shining in from the entrance, squint your eyes, and look comfortable.

He slowly opened his eyes and watched the sun hide in the clouds, dyeing the clouds in the sky orange-red, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He reached under the quilt and fumbled, took out the invitation and the red envelope, stood up, straightened his sleeves slightly,
He walked quickly to the cabinet on the side of the army.
He opened the first drawer, took out two daggers and inserted them into the side of his boots.
He opened the second drawer, took out five throwing knives, and put them on his back.
He opened the third drawer, took out three silver needles, and carefully fixed them on the calluses on his wrists.

Finally, he took out a small stone mine from the fourth drawer, placed it on top of his head, and hid it in his hair.

After doing all this, he put down all the clothes that had been lifted up and walked out of the military tent with a calm expression.

Jiang Li stood at the entrance of the military tent, taking in the scene of the general's camp. After noticing that there was nothing unusual around him, he walked towards the southeast gate.

Not far away, Chen Jingyi, who was hiding in the military tent, saw this scene. His pupils slightly dilated, and he clenched his fists. He quickly pulled out the Clairvoyance fixed on the tent and ordered:

"The people have come out. Let's retreat and have some drinks."

The other three soldiers in the military tent did the same thing. They pulled out their clairvoyance glasses and quickly sorted out the papers on the table.

Soon, four people walked out of the military tent in batches and disappeared into the camp.
Jiang Li walked briskly and leisurely on the stone road of the camp in the afterglow of the setting sun.
He was in a good mood today, with a barely perceptible smile on his face.

He walked past rows of neatly arranged tents, looking back and forth as he moved forward.

The busy figures of the soldiers stretched out in the setting sun as they drilled, chatted, repaired tents, and ate the treats sent by the front army.

The sounds of conversation mixed with the neighing of horses in the distance, making the military camp much noisier.

After a lot of twists and turns, Jiang Lin followed the stone road to the horse farm, which was very close to the prisoner-of-war camp.

The stench of the horses mixed with the stench of the prisoner-of-war camp, making the place smell terrible.

But Jiang Li didn't mind. Whenever he came here,

His steps would slow down, through those hard fences,

Looking at the grassland captives inside, his eyes were filled with urgency and desire.

As usual, he did not leave the camp immediately, but turned left and entered the horse farm, going deep into it and away from the soldiers guarding the gate.

Then he stood quietly and watched the grassland captives work hard.

Whenever he came, the grassland captives would work even harder and their movements would speed up.

Perhaps they thought Jiang Lin was a Ming official who came to inspect.

Jiang Li enjoyed this process very much, as it made him feel that these grassland captives were being used by him.
And here, he can find temporary relief from his tired heart.

The horse farm was filled with the stench of sweat. Jiang Lin watched the tall grassland captives working hard and muttered to himself.

The people before him were too tall and too obvious to be used as spies.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Jiang Li's eyes fixed on several of the big men, and he couldn't help but look strange.

He knew that the army's food and fodder were severely withheld.

Some grassland people were so hungry that they worked very slowly.
But today these people are different.

His movements were quick and his forehead was covered with sweat, but his eyes did not show numbness or fatigue, but rather a hint of alertness.

This discovery made Jiang Lin's eyes light up. He took two steps forward and observed from a closer distance.

The more I looked at him, the more frightened I became, and the more regretful I felt.

These guys are strong and sturdy, their movements are quick and efficient,

Although his face was somewhat unrecognizable due to hunger,

But if they are given enough food, they will surely become the bravest warriors in the army.
It’s a pity that they can only raise horses here.

At this moment, roars suddenly came from the POW camp not far away.

There followed a deafening noise, which carried through the fence into the stable.

The warhorse, which was lying prone, suddenly opened its eyes and stood up.
The hooves began to move slightly slower and looked irritable and restless.

Jiang Li frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
What he disliked was not the grassland captives who often rioted, but some people in the army who withheld food.
Those grassland captives were very obedient and would not make any noise as long as they were given enough food to keep them from starving to death.

But since returning to Gyeongju, some people have gone too far.
The demanding meals have increased from 50% to 70% now.
The originally obedient and docile sinners on the grassland could not bear it.
Of course, only a small number of people rioted. Most of the sinners on the grassland let it go, and some even looked forward to the day when they would starve to death.

As the noise grew louder, Jiang Li's brows furrowed further and he cursed inwardly,
So he planned to leave here and go to Lu Mansion for a drink.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound behind me.
"Ding Dong."

Jiang Lin's face changed slightly. That was the sound of the iron door of the stable closing gently.

Looking back, he saw a ragged prairie man standing in front of the iron door of the stable with his back to him, fiddling with something with his head down.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Li raised his eyebrows and shouted.

But the strange thing is that the grassland sinner who used to lie prone on the ground when slightly reprimanded did not move at all today, still standing with his back to the ground.
Jiang Li's face instantly turned pale, and he became alert. He quickly glanced around and noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him.

He quickly bent over and tried to pull out the dagger hidden in his boot.

But the next moment, the sound of rapid running came from behind him, and even a slight hum!

Jiang Li realized that the situation was not good, and thought to himself that it was not good. He did not grab the dagger, but rolled on the ground.
Taking advantage of this gap, he saw the tall prairie man holding a pitchfork and stabbing it hard into the place where he had been standing.

"Who are you?! What are you doing?"

Jiang Li's face was extremely ugly, and he shouted loudly, hoping to attract the guards. However, the shouting and rioting in the prisoner-of-war camp on the other side was more intense, and no one paid attention to his shouting.

Just as Jiang Li was thinking,

A prisoner rushed over from the side with a grim smile, and the iron rod in his hand hit Jiang Li's back of the head with a sound of wind.

Jiang Li's ears twitched slightly, and he turned his body to avoid the attack narrowly.
But then, another prisoner rushed up from behind him.
He took a big stick used to beat the food and hit him hard on the back, causing him to groan in pain.

It was only then that Jiang Li saw clearly what was happening in the stable. More than a dozen grassland captives approached him with grim smiles.

The other grassland captives looked fearful and hid aside tremblingly, looking at the scene in front of them with fearful eyes and confusion on their faces.

Jiang Li pursed his lips, his mind sank, and he shouted:
"Come and help me, tie them up, and I'll make sure you have food and clothing."

He hoped to escape from the current predicament by taking those normal grassland captives.

But. After he yelled like that,
The grassland prisoner who was originally standing suddenly fell down, covered his head tightly with his hands, and whimpered.

Jiang Li's face turned dark. He no longer counted on the grassland captives and began to hide in a panic.

There was chaos in the stable.
The captives were tireless and disregarded their own safety, fighting with every move at the cost of their lives.

Jiang Li is not a general in the army, and his methods are all secret methods of fighting the enemy.
Under such a desperate fighting style, it seems a bit stretched.

While dodging the attacks of the prisoners, he was looking for an opportunity to break out.

However, the captors did not intend to give him this opportunity.

They had forgotten life and death, and mechanically repeated the attack movements.
Even though he was covered in wounds, he never backed down.

At this moment, a prisoner took advantage of Jiang Li's unpreparedness, pounced on him suddenly, hugged his legs tightly with both hands, and tried to throw him to the ground.

Jiang Li's heart trembled, thinking to himself, this is not good! !
He gritted his teeth and rammed his knee hard into the prisoner's stomach.
The prisoner screamed in pain, blood spurting from the corner of his mouth, but he still did not let go.

Jiang Lin was shocked. He felt his legs being held tightly, making it extremely difficult for him to move.

At this moment, the other captives' eyes lit up.
They gave up their original attacks and instead rushed forward to surround Jiang Li.

There was a crazy gleam in their eyes, as if they wanted to tear him to pieces.

Jiang Li struggled hard, but his legs were held tightly by the captives, preventing him from exerting his full strength.

He tried to fight back with his dagger, stabbing with his palm again and again, blood spurting out.

But even though these grassland people had their mouths filled with blood, their eyes were still firm and revealed madness, and they pulled him with all their strength.

Seeing the expressions of these grassland people, Jiang Li was suddenly stunned.

He seemed to have seen this look somewhere before.

"Let me go!" Jiang Li roared, his voice full of anger and unwillingness.

However, the captives seemed not to hear his roar.

It just pulled him even more frantically, as if it wanted to tear his limbs apart.

Under this desperate tug, Jiang Li felt that his body's strength was being drained away bit by bit.

He felt his hands being tightly grasped by his captives, unable to move at all.

Despair gradually welled up in his heart, but he had not given up yet.

He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to slam his knee into the stomach of the prisoner who was holding his legs.

This time, he heard the prisoner's ribs breaking.
The man's eyes bulged slightly, and a large mouthful of blood spit out of his mouth.

But those two pairs of arms still held him tightly like iron! !

Jiang Li once again saw that determined and crazy look.

Where? Where? Where have you seen it before?
Jiang Li's body was already wet with sweat, even though he was still struggling.

But the number of prisoners was too great.
Their strength combined and overwhelmed him like a tide.

Jiang Li's breathing became more and more rapid.

His vision began to blur, and each struggle became weaker.

The dagger pierced a dozen holes in the back of a grassland captive, and the silver needle on the wrist blinded one person's eyes.

The flying knife on the back was deeply stuck in the knees of the two prisoners.

The only thing left on him now was the stone mine hidden in his hair.

But when the stone mine explodes, his head will also explode, which will make him unrecognizable and even blow his body to pieces.

In this way, if he died here, no one would be able to help him find the real culprit behind the scene.

As a member of the Imperial Guard, he knew that all this was a conspiracy against him, including the riot in the prisoner-of-war camp.

But Jiang Li didn't understand who it was and why.
As time passed, Jiang Li's struggles became less and less intense as he was pinned to the ground.

The arms were twisted irregularly, the bones had long been broken,

During the struggle with the grassland captives, the bone stumps pierced through the flesh and blood, and popped out, making a harsh and unpleasant sound as it scratched the ground.

His legs had lost all feeling and were being pulled helplessly.

Jiang Li knew that his waist was broken.

There were countless claw marks and bite marks on his chest, which was already bloody and mangled. The dozen or so people around him were like vicious dogs, constantly tearing his body apart.

They were all bathed in blood.

Strangely, Jiang Li's life was slipping away little by little.
But his mind became clearer and clearer, especially after he realized there was no hope of escape.

All the events of the past few days flashed before his eyes.

There was confusion in his eyes. Who wanted to kill him?

He looked ahead blankly; those eyes were so familiar.

Where is it? Where have you seen it before?

The next moment, Jiang Lin's ribs were broken with a loud cracking sound.

Jiang Li's head seemed to explode, and his eyes widened little by little.

He remembered that on the gentle slope of the Harazhang Line,
More than 20,000 grassland people rushed forward one after another.

It was this kind of look, a look that showed absolutely no fear!

But Jiang Li immediately became confused.
The Princess of Beiyuan is dead, and so are the more than one hundred women on the list. Who still has the ability to control these grassland people?
Jiang Li lay on the ground in a big letter shape, looking at the gradually darkening sky. The first thing he eliminated was the military candidates.
If those military officers wanted to kill him, it would be effortless and there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

Who is that?

Jiang Li's mind flashed with the faces of the army.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment, giving him enough time to think.

A steppe man had already picked up his dagger and was slashing his arm with it, one, two.
Jiang Li changed from a "big" to a "man", and blood flowed out, dyeing the earth red.

Jiang Li could no longer feel the pain at this moment, and the faces in front of him were still appearing one by one.

Soon he changed from a "man" to a "
As his limbs decreased, Jiang Li's mind became clearer and clearer.

The face in front of him froze, a handsome but gloomy face appeared,

This face kept changing back and forth, sometimes cold, sometimes reserved, sometimes immature, and sometimes crazy.

Jiang Li thought of two key names.
Hulun Ortai, Hulun Yarong!
They all disappeared. They had a very good relationship with that person and were all local slaves.

Jiang Li was breathing rapidly, blood was gushing out of his mouth, his chest was heaving and he was coughing, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter! !

It’s him, it’s him, it must be him!
"land"

Phew!

At this moment, the dagger pierced Jiang Li's neck, and blood gushed out instantly.

Jiang Li's body trembled violently, his eyes bulged, and he felt a strong sense of suffocation.
He couldn't speak, but the name was shouted out in his heart.

"Lu Yunyi."
