Reborn Princess Chasing Her Husband Crematorium

Chapter 188, Not good! Tang Zongheng is dying

At the junction of the eastern part of Xi State and Lan State, there is a flat land as far as the eye can see.

The place is deserted all year round and the land is dry. There is only a huge boundary monument that distinguishes the border between the two countries.

However, a few months ago, the people of Lan State broke through this land and planted their flag in the territory of Xi State.

Now this place is filled with soldiers and camps from Lan State.

Shangguan Qi was currently in his tent looking at the sand table.

Standing beside him were his lieutenants and subordinates.

Shangguan Qi has a square face, thick eyebrows, sharp eyes, a rough build, and very well-developed muscles all over his body.

He is Shangguan Lan's brother.

Shangguan Lan was raised as a craftsman from birth, and was brought to Xi State since he was a child. Over the years, he conveyed a lot of information about Xi State to Lan State.

Shangguan Qi vaguely remembered the scene when he sent Shangguan Lan to Xi State many years ago.

His younger brother was famously handsome from the Lan Kingdom, and his smiling face had fascinated many women from the Lan Kingdom.

"Be careful." He said to Shangguan Lan.

"I will, brother. If you come back this time, it will be over." Shangguan Lan said.

"Brother, I'll wait for you to come home." He hugged Shangguan Lan.

"Yeah!" Shangguan Lan hugged Shangguan Qi back.

But Shangguan Qi never expected that this would be the last time the two of them would see each other in their lives.

When I saw him again, Shangguan Lan was just a handful of ashes.

The other party also gave him a final letter written by Shangguan Lan himself.

It details the causes and consequences of the incident, including Shen Qing's changes and Fang Jixiang's rebellion.

However, he was unable to take revenge on the spot.

So he endured it until now, and then poured out all his anger on Xi Guo.

In Shangguan Qi's view, the ten cities of Xi Kingdom are just an explanation for Shangguan Lan's death.

What he wants is not just ten cities, he wants to go straight to the Imperial Palace of Xi Kingdom!

This is far from enough.

Shangguan Qi stared at the current situation of the two armies on the sand table and said nothing for a long time.

He wanted to conquer the entire Xi Kingdom, and given the geographical location of Lan Kingdom, the only breakthrough was Xi Dong.

But Xi Dong is indestructible as long as the Tang family is here.

Therefore, the Tang family must be destroyed first no matter what.

Now he is half successful.

First Tang Zongheng, then Tang Zongjiu!

No one can escape.

"Have you found the Tang family?" Shangguan Qi asked.

"Still looking." One of the adjutants said, "The only thing that's certain is that it's not within the city we occupied."

"There's no rush," Shangguan Qi raised his eyes and looked outside the tent, "As long as Tang Zongheng is in our hands, I don't believe they will come."

At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared outside the camp.

"Report——! Oh no! Tang Zongheng was poisoned and is now half dead!"

Shangguan Qi suddenly raised his head: "What did you say!"

"General, Tang Zongheng is going to die!" the visitor said anxiously.

"Go and call all the doctors in the camp!" Shangguan Qi grabbed the adjutant beside him and said, "Bring the one named Wu here too."

"Yes!" The adjutant took the order and ran out quickly.

After saying that, Shangguan Qi quickly left the camp and walked towards the cage where Tang Zongheng was imprisoned.

The Lan people have a special kind of cage for treating prisoners.

This kind of cage is used to imprison ferocious beasts. There are spikes on the front, back, left and right of the cage. The people locked in it can only sit inside, even if they are resting, they can only sit upright. Normal people cannot survive seven days.

Tang Zongheng has been detained here for more than a month.

During this period of time, Tang Zongheng had been tortured to a state of disgrace, but Shangguan Qi was unable to pry a single word out of his mouth.

When Shangguan Qi got tired, he asked others to continue. Even if Tang Zongheng didn't say a word, it was good to just look at his pained and forbearing expression.

Not being able to cut off Tang Zongheng's head directly was Shangguan Qi's biggest regret.

The emperor's orders are hard to disobey.

Therefore, Shangguan Qi only abused Tang Zongheng, but never thought about Tang Zongheng's death.

He cannot bear this responsibility.

Shangguan Qi quickly came to Tang Zongheng's cage.

Tang Zongjiu was seen curled up in the cage, foaming at the mouth, his eyes had been closed, and his whole body was motionless.

"Do you think pretending to be dead will be useful?" Shangguan Qi said with a little anger in his tone, "I didn't expect that the dignified general of the Tang Army would still play this trick. Don't you want to know the news about your parents?"

Tang Zongheng didn't react at all.

Shangguan Qi winked at the people around him.

The people around him understood, took out the handle of the knife, and poked Tang Zongjiu a few times.

Tang Zongheng couldn't help but touch the spikes on the side, but in the sight of so many people, he still didn't react.

Shangguan Qi's face sank to the bottom of his face.

If Tang Zongheng died at this time and affected the emperor's plan, then his responsibility would be greater.

"Where's the doctor?!" Shangguan Qi shouted.

"Coming, coming, coming!" The adjutant on the side hurried over, followed by the doctors of Lan State.

"Show me quickly! If he doesn't wake up, you will all be buried with him!" Shangguan Qi said sternly.

"Yes! Yes!" The doctors responded, lowered their bodies and began to check.

But the gap between the iron bars of the cage was too small, not enough for a person to put his hand in, so the doctors could only try to observe from the outside.

Shangguan Lan frowned and finally ordered: "Open the cage for me!"

After saying that, the soldiers of Lan State stood ready one by one, with the swords in their hands pointing at Tang Zongheng from all directions.

One of them stepped forward, holding a key in his hand. When he opened the lock, he dropped the lock once because he was too nervous.

"My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me!" The soldier opened the cage before the superior officers could all attack him.

The moment the cage opened, the other soldiers who were prepared simultaneously raised their weapons and stepped forward.

However, after taking a breath, Tang Zongheng still had no reaction.

"Damn it." Shangguan Qi cursed, "Why are you still standing there?! Come and save me!"

The doctors immediately laid Tang Zong down on his back, taking his pulse, rolling his eyelids, and stroking his neck.

Shangguan Qi looked around.

The large position where his camp is located belongs to the Lan Kingdom on the border.

The place is endless as far as the eye can see. Except for the prisoners of Xi State, they are all from Lan State.

There are Lan soldiers patrolling at every fixed time, and they will not miss any place.

The entire position can be said to be watertight, not even a fly from Xi State can fly in.

Tang Zongheng's cage was under special supervision, and someone was watching it at all times twelve hours a day.

Moreover, the people who were staring at Tang Zongheng were all captain-level generals. As long as there was a slight disturbance, they would be able to capture him in a short time.

Therefore, let’s not forget that the Tang family was completely prepared to give up on Tang Zongheng.

Who on earth, and by what method, put this poison into Tang Zongheng's mouth.

But what Shangguan Qi didn't know was that under the watchful eyes of everyone, there was a cockroach scurrying through the Lan Kingdom's tents one by one. With light steps, it walked out of the Lan Kingdom's position, crossed the entire border, and came to what was originally the In a small forest on the border of Xi State.

Finally, it crawled next to a pair of children's shoes, turned over, and died. (End of chapter)
