The prince is more stable

Chapter 384 A hundred secrets and one sparse

The soldiers of the Dragon Guard Camp seemed to have descended from the sky and were now busy reaping the lives of the rebels.

Five hundred strong men gathered into a black mass, each holding a knife, a spear, a sword or a halberd in their hands, looking very scary.

However, any cold weapon will eventually be crushed by firearms. They are like sheep in a sheepfold waiting to be slaughtered, with no power to resist.

It was only a hundred steps away from the first row of the Dragon Guard Battalion's soldiers, but now it seemed like an insurmountable barrier.

Bodies were shot one after another and fell to the ground. The people were dead, and the corpses were still twitching on the ground. The ground was covered with blood, and there were still living people screaming in horror, shouting and groaning in pain all around.

This picture of hell on earth completely destroyed their already fragile and guilty psychological defenses.

I can still hear Zhong Jianzhong’s loud shout. What did he say?
Yes, "treason" and "rebel".

Their nature was determined from the moment they opened their mouths: they were traitors who were committing treason and rebelling against their superiors, and their crime was punishable by the execution of their entire clan.

In addition, the enemy now has thousands of troops that are enough to crush them, and the mysterious and powerful firearms. The combat power of both sides is completely not on the same level.

To say that they are "crushed" is too much of an exaggeration. They are like bugs crawling around on the ground. The other party only needs a little finger to crush their shit out.

The five hundred strong men were completely frightened and had completely lost their fighting spirit. After groups of them fell, the remaining ones threw down their weapons, turned around and ran away, crying and screaming, and trampling on others.

The huge sum of money and official positions that Liu Qianliang promised them had long been thrown out of the window by them. At this moment, they only wanted to save their lives and just want to survive.

At this moment, the five hundred strong men gathered by Liu Qianliang were all fleeing for their lives, and no one cared about him anymore.

Liu Qianliang and a group of officials involved were standing at the gate of the mansion at this moment.

They witnessed with their own eyes that the 500 soldiers they had gathered with great difficulty were killed in batches like pigs, while the enemy remained motionless and not even a hair was touched.

The faces of Liu Qianliang and others were paler than those of the dead. Everyone stared blankly at the incident that had just happened, but their hearts suddenly sank to the bottom.

Especially Liu Qianliang, at this moment he finally felt directly that death was so close to him. The so-called surrender to the Liao Kingdom, the so-called retirement after success...

So, what's going on now?
Didn’t Zhang Lan say that he had ordered the city gates to be closed and no one was allowed to come in?

How did these thousands of soldiers from the Dragon Guard Camp enter the city?
It was precisely because of Zhang Lan's guarantee that Zhao Xiaoqian in Zhending City was only surrounded by one or two hundred imperial guards, so Liu Qianliang dared to risk the wrath of the world and decided to take action against Zhao Xiaoqian tonight.

But the current situation has obviously completely exceeded Liu Qianliang's expectations.

The Dragon Guard Battalion has entered the city!

Zhang Lan, I fuck your ancestors!

The soldiers of the Dragon Guard Camp had been waiting leisurely outside his mansion, just waiting to take their lives.

This was not only an unexpected ambush, but also a very direct humiliation to Liu Qianliang.

Zhao Xiaoqian's annoying smiling face appeared in Liu Qianliang's mind. That sarcastic smile seemed to tell him that no matter how conspiracies or tricks he played, it would be useless. No matter when and where, Zhao Xiaoqian would definitely get him, without exception.

Seeing the five hundred people he had gathered die or escape, Liu Qianliang felt hopeless and completely despaired.

He originally thought that he could kill his enemies tonight, then calmly leave the city and join his new master, starting a new life of wealth and glory.

What now?
Now he was trapped in the city, surrounded by people, like a turtle in a jar. Yes, he was the "turtle".

The last and only way to survive was finally blocked by Zhao Xiaoqian.

The bodies of Zhou Shen and Wang Shenxian were still lying on the ground in his yard. The heavy snow had covered their bodies. He didn't expect that he, Liu Qianliang, would soon follow in their footsteps.

Finally, he realized how powerful Zhao Xiaoqian was. He predicted all of Liu Qianliang's moves, then calmly mobilized troops and shattered all his confidence in person.

At this moment, Liu Qianliang was not dead yet, but Zhao Xiaoqian had killed him over and over again.

Soon, most of the five hundred men were dead, and those who escaped soon discovered they couldn't. Zhong Jianzhong's three thousand soldiers had already surrounded Liu Qianliang's residence, and no one could escape.

Those who escaped were also traitors. "Traitors" are so valuable. Zhong Jianzhong and his soldiers are waiting for them to make meritorious deeds. If any traitor escapes, it will be a great disrespect to their own future.

The corpse on the ground was already cold, the blood that was flowing out was frozen, and the body had no temperature anymore.

Liu Qianliang and a group of officials involved stood at the door in a daze, watching Zhong Jianzhong walking slowly towards them with a sword in his hand.

"Liu Qianliang?" Zhong Jianzhong glanced at him and asked with raised eyebrows.

Liu Qianliang seemed to have lost his soul. He stood straight in the snow without any reaction, his eyes numb and dull, like a dead fish.

Zhong Jianzhong frowned. As a military general, he was not a good-tempered gentleman. Seeing that Liu Qianliang did not react, Zhong Jianzhong raised his hand and slapped him hard.

With a crisp sound, Liu Qianliang's left cheek quickly became red and swollen, and he was slapped back to consciousness, letting out a scream.

"Liu Qianliang?" Zhong Jianzhong asked again.

Seeing Zhong Jianzhong's cold and indifferent eyes and murderous aura, Liu Qianliang's knees softened and he knelt uncontrollably on the cold snow. The suffocating aura emanating from Zhong Jianzhong crushed him in an instant.

“…I am Liu Qianliang.”

Zhong Jianzhong smiled with satisfaction, looking past him at the group of officials involved in the incident behind him.

The officials' performance at this time was even worse than Liu Qianliang's. When Zhong Jianzhong walked towards them, these officials were so scared that their faces turned pale. They knelt on the ground involuntarily, waiting for the verdict of fate in despair.

Thinking of Zhou Shen and Wang Shenxian at this time, everyone suddenly felt both envious and admiring of them.

It would have been great if I had died a quick and painful death like them, and I would have been spared the endless interrogation, questioning, confession and beheading.

Now that I think about it, Zhou Shen and Wang Shenxian are the truly smart people!

These people all knew very well that the crimes they had committed in Zhending Prefecture before were already punishable by death, not to mention that they were charged with such a serious crime as "treason" tonight. Moreover, the evidence was overwhelming and there was no possibility of overturning the verdict. No matter who judged, they were doomed.

Seeing the officials involved slumped to the ground, Zhong Jianzhong nodded with satisfaction.

I just like this neat and tidy happy ending picture, not a single one...

Ok?
Zhong Jianzhong suddenly frowned, carefully counting the limp officials, and then asked in a deep voice, "Where is Zhang Lan, the commander of the Imperial Guards?"

The officials shook their heads and said nothing.

Zhong Jianzhong was anxious: "Is Zhang Lan here? Tell me quickly!"

Liu Qianliang replied woodenly, "Zhang Lan hasn't been with us since this evening. He said he would personally issue an order to close the city gates..."

Zhong Jianzhong was furious, stomped his feet and cursed, "You bastard."

Tonight, he was ordered to kill the bandits, and everything went so smoothly. Zhong Jianzhong even planned to brag about his achievements in front of Zhao Xiaoqian afterwards, and test Zhao Xiaoqian's attitude. Is this achievement enough to earn him a promotion?

As a result, the most important culprit was not there?
What the hell is going on! I don't know how much my great contribution has been discounted.

Zhong Jianzhong suddenly became furious and kicked Liu Qianliang so hard that he rolled three times.

"You son of a bitch, why didn't you tell me earlier that Zhang Lan wasn't here? If he had gotten away, you would all be guilty of an even greater crime, and your entire clan would have been exterminated!"

With that, Zhong Jianzhong turned around and ran, shouting orders as he ran.

"Send out two thousand men and go to each city gate to pass on Duke Zhao's order. All gates of Zhending Prefecture are sealed. No one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Dragon Guard Battalion is searching the entire city for Zhang Lan!"
