I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 736: Breaking through the Xianxia Pass and Approaching the Capital

Li Zheng nodded and said, "You are very smart. You know what to say and what not to say."

He clapped his hands, "Come on, drag him out and chop him up."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Fang Dahong was terrified. He was afraid to tell Li Zheng, "I said, I know where Wu Liuqi is. He must be hiding overseas."

"You are of no use now, take him away."

Two Jinyiwei came in, lifted Fang Dahong up, and dragged her out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, please spare me."

"Help, I said."

Fang Dahong was struggling and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

The lights in the hall gradually went out, leaving only Li Kan and Li Zheng. Li Kan sighed and said, "This is an idiot."

Li Zheng held his knees with both hands, "He is too greedy, he dares to covet gold and silver treasures..."

Li Kan sneered, "He is alive today because of his greed, but he doesn't know that if he doesn't tell the truth, the final outcome will be death, but he still won't do that."

Li Zheng sat down slowly, his expression silent. They are just a bunch of clowns. I would like to meet them.

At the Xianzhen Pass, which is open and closed fifty miles away, Jingnan King Geng Jingzhong was discussing whether to advance or retreat with his confidants Bai Xiangzhong, Xu Yaowen, and Wang Shiyu.

"This matter cannot be delayed any longer."

Geng Jingzhong looked at the three people and said in a deep voice: "We should have left quickly before Li Zheng sent out his troops, but you were greedy for fame and wealth and delayed military and national affairs. If we withdraw our troops today, we can continue to attack, and they can use this as an excuse to make trouble."

He glanced at the three people and said, "I am not afraid of death, but if I implicate you."

Bai Xiangzhong bowed his head and saluted, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I am willing to guarantee that no matter whether Your Majesty wants to fight or suffer, we will follow you to the death."

Wang Shiyu and Xu Yaowen both expressed their opinions.

Geng Jingzhong nodded with satisfaction and said, "I believe in you."

The three of them stood in front of the city wall and looked out. In the distance, there were mountains spreading out, clouds rolling, and even the Tang army's camp could be seen in the distance.

“The scenery here is stunning.”

"Yes, as long as we defeat Li Zheng, we can march straight in and conquer the world."

Geng Jingzhong's face was firm, "This time I want to let everyone in the world know that whoever stands in the way will die."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Everyone burst into laughter, and waves of joyful laughter echoed through the mountain stream and could be heard hundreds of miles away.

This is the charm of full power.

Under the temptation of power, countless people abandoned their original families, gave up the teachings of their ancestors, betrayed their conscience and moral bottom line, and devoted themselves to the cause of rebellion.

However, Geng Jingzhong, as a leader, thinks you are too young and is not ashamed of his behavior at all.

When the Qing Dynasty was powerful, they became its most loyal lackeys. The Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were fighting fiercely, and now the Three Feudatories were rebelling under the banner of anti-Qing and restoration of Ming. It was simply killing two birds with one stone. They had the right time, right place and right people, and they all stood up. How could he miss this opportunity?

"Everyone, all you need is victory."

Geng Jingzhong pointed to the north and grinned, "As long as Li Zheng is captured, the emperor will be imprisoned, the Ming court will collapse, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty will be under my control."

Xu Yaowen said excitedly: "Your Majesty, such a prosperous era requires your presence, otherwise, those treacherous villains will bring our country down."

He stretched out his hand and made a chopping motion, "Yes, those people must be killed."

"Kill Li Zheng."

Everyone shouted together, and morale was high for a moment.

"Kill the enemy, kill the enemy, kill the enemy." Geng Jingzhong looked at the excited look of his subordinates, nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then said to Bai Xiangzhong beside him: "Where is Fang Dahong?"

He felt that Fang Dahong should be killed to prevent future troubles.

After all, he is an insider and the only person who has seen Li Zheng without a doubt. He must be killed to eliminate future troubles.

Bai Xiangzhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, this person said he knew the whereabouts of Wu Liuqi."

Geng Jingzhong frowned and asked, "Did he say that?"

Bai Xiangzhong bowed and said, "Fang Dahong just said that Wu Liuqi is overseas."

This answer was good, but Geng Jingzhong was not satisfied with it. He ordered: "Call him over and tell him to immediately report the whereabouts of Wu Liuqi."

Fang Dahong came and knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, Ma Chaoming is telling the truth about power."

Geng Jingzhong looked at him coldly, "You are deceiving me, I will chop off your head."

Fang Dahong trembled all over and murmured, "Your Majesty, I really don't know. They send letters every month, and I don't know where they come from, but I remember they said they were looking for someone."

Geng Jingzhong snorted coldly and said, "I sent many scouts out to search, but found nothing. Aren't you curious?"

Fang Dahong raised her head and said, "I know, but, but if Your Majesty does this, they will know Zhameng's plan and will be on guard."

Geng Jingzhong narrowed his eyes and said, "Beware? If they could be on guard, they would have been on guard long ago. Why delay until now?"

"Your Majesty is wise. They dare not guard against it. They are afraid."

"Scared, hahaha."

Geng Jingzhong laughed happily, and when he had laughed enough, he said sternly: "I have met many kinds of people in my life, but this is the first time I have met such a timid person like you. But it's okay this way."

"Your Majesty is wise."

"but…"

Geng Jingzhong said in a sinister tone: "I will not kill you, because keeping you will bring us some trouble, but I will kill those accomplices, including Wu Liuqi."

He looked at Fang Dahong and asked, "You said Wu Liuqi went overseas, so where is his fleet?"

Fang Dahong's cheeks twitched, and his lips trembled as he said, "Your Highness, overseas is vast, who knows where he went? I am just guessing, and I dare not say anything."

Geng Jingzhong looked at him and said, "No, you know, but you are afraid of death, so you would rather pretend not to know."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I don't know what overseas is. I just heard them talk about it."

"What about the pirates? Where are they?"

"It's on a Nanyang island. It's said to be very secretive and protected by the government. No one can get close to it."

"Oh"

Geng Jingzhong nodded and said, "I heard that there are some naval forces in the south. Do you think they know where Wu Liuqi is?"

Fang Dahong shook his head: "Those people are just pirates, basically a bunch of bandits. Who would care about their life or death? They wouldn't."

"is it?"

Geng Jingzhong said calmly: "Have you forgotten that he has a Western cannon in his hands, which is a powerful weapon."

He suddenly turned around and said, "Prepare the car, let's go."

"Your Majesty."

Everyone followed, and after walking for several miles, Fang Dahong couldn't help but ask, "Prince, since you are going, why don't you gather more people?"

"More gathering?"

Geng Jingzhong looked into the distance and said coldly: "This time, I am prepared to go all out, regardless of the cost, and I must break through the Xianxia Pass and then press on the capital. If I cannot..."
