Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 446 The Fall of a Famous General 4

Zhong Shuo swayed, he murmured for his mother, and walked towards Mrs. Zhong with difficulty. Someone pulled the iron bow and was about to shoot the second arrow, but the deputy leader stopped him. gesture.

Zhong Shuo swayed step by step, walking slower and slower, the blood in his chest kept gushing out, but he seemed to be invisible, his eyes were only on Mrs. Zhong.

In just a dozen or so steps, he exhausted all his strength, and when he finally reached Mrs. Zhong's side, the corners of his lips raised, revealing a flamboyant and childish smile, like a child in a mother's arms.

He knelt down slowly, picked up Mrs. Zhong's head with difficulty, and slowly placed it on her neck. After finishing this simple task, Zhong Mo had no strength left, and his tall body slowly fell down. Beside Mrs. Zhong, his eyes were wide open, the light in his eyes faded away little by little, and finally all the light disappeared. There was a childish smile on that young and handsome face. The last expression he left to the world was contentment. , Relaxed demeanor.

Zhong Mo stared blankly at the mother and child who had fallen together, and heard the sound of the people around him falling down. Gradually, the sound became smaller and smaller, and finally, no one made any sound, only the sound of the night wind blowing in his ears. sounds, and the barking of dogs in the distance.

Zhong Mo turned his head bit by bit, looked at the corpse lying on the ground, and suddenly smiled.

Such a smile is very complicated, with unspeakable taste, bitterness, regret, helplessness, self-blame, and all of them.

He slowly raised the sword, and everyone looked at him intently, waiting to see if he would make a final counterattack.

Unexpectedly by everyone, Zhong Mo let go of his hand, and the big knife hit the ground with a clang.

The deputy leader stared at him suspiciously, seeing that he made no further moves, he ordered the hidden guards to go forward and tie him up.

At this moment, Zhong Mo pulled out the saber from his waist in a snap, and the cold light flickered very glaringly.

He grabbed the hilt of the long sword, and the point of the sword fell to the ground. Zhong Mo looked at everyone expressionlessly, and everyone remained motionless, staring straight at him.

The deputy leader didn't move, neither did the hidden guards.

Zhong Mo slowly raised his head and looked at the vast and vast night sky. There were no stars and no moon in the sky, it was dark, like a thick and heavy curtain pressed down, and the pressure almost stopped breathing.

Zhong Mo smiled. He didn't know what he was laughing at, and neither did others. Everyone stared at him vigilantly. Zhong Mo, the only super general in the Great Zhou, had fought thousands of battles in his life. He was both wise and brave. He is extremely brave, even if he is in a desperate situation, he might fight back.

The smile on Zhong Mo's face suddenly froze, and at that moment, he suddenly raised the long sword in his hand and laid it across his neck.

Before everyone saw what was going on, they saw a fountain of blood gushing out from Zhong Mo's neck.

He was still holding the sword hilt with his right hand, and his body as tall as a mountain fell slowly. With a bang, his heavy body splashed countless dust, and the blood from his neck was still flowing out continuously, staining the ground below him red.

There was silence all around, only the sound of the night wind blowing.

A generation of famous generals died just like that, ruined their reputations, committed suicide, and just fell.

The deputy leader silently looked at Zhong Mo's body, and cupped his hands to Li Yi, "This subordinate still needs to track down one person, so I will leave the matter here to General Li."

"The deputy leader can rest assured."

The deputy leader led the hidden guards to leave quickly, and the horseshoes burst out, raising countless smoke and dust.

Li Yi looked at Zhong Mo's body and sighed deeply. Although he had already expected that Zhong Mo's ending would not be very good, Li Yi still felt very uncomfortable seeing him committing suicide.

After all, before General Long Teng appeared, the only person in the army he admired was Zhong Mo.

Unfortunately……

"Come on, bury these people well!"

The dead are the greatest, and the past grievances are put aside.

The soldiers came over silently, and carried away the corpses of Zhong Mo and others.

No one spoke, and everyone did these things in silence.

On the other side of the courtyard, the queen mother was waiting for Zhong Mo to bring back good news, when the door was suddenly knocked open, and Su Lan rushed in in panic, "The queen mother is not good! The general has lost!"

Queen Mother Huo Di stood up and asked excitedly, "Defeated? How could you lose? Isn't it just to kill Li Yi?"

"Your Majesty's hidden guards have arrived long ago, and they have arrested the general's family. They have been waiting for the general to rebel and take the opportunity to eradicate them. Queen Mother, we have fallen into a trap!"

Su Lan spoke quickly, the Queen Mother's face was as white as paper, she stared at Su Lan in disbelief, and kept shaking her head, "Impossible, I will not be defeated, Zhong Mo is a great general, he has a hundred thousand Zhong family troops , It is easy to flatten the Great Zhou, how could it be defeated? Aijia doesn't believe it, you must be lying to Aijia..."

A guard rushed in, "Queen Mother, the General's people have all been eradicated, and the General killed himself. The subordinates and brothers immediately escorted the Queen Mother to escape from the back door, and it will be too late!"

Hearing that Zhong Mo was dead, the Empress Dowager shook her body, her face became even paler, she gritted her teeth and cursed, "Useless trash!"

Su Lan didn't dare to talk, she hurriedly went to support the Queen Mother's arm, "Queen Mother, run away quickly, it will be too late if you delay!"

The Empress Dowager immediately turned her face away, a trace of anger and determination appeared on her pale face, "Go!"

Dozens of guards guarded the queen mother and rushed to the back door, and they would be blocked when they walked through the front door.

"Queen, there is no sound outside. It seems that His Majesty's hidden guards are not blocking the back door."

The captain of the guard said happily, and he asked his two men to go down and open the door.

As soon as the door opened, the alley outside was really quiet, and there was no one. A carriage and a few horses were parked in the alley.

Su Lan and the captain of the guard were just about to help the Queen Mother into the carriage, when a leisurely and smiling voice suddenly came from behind, "Where is the Queen Mother going?"

The figure of the queen mother paused, then slowly turned her head, staring coldly at Shen Wenqing who suddenly appeared, "Kill it!"

Just as the captain of the guard made his move, a cloud-piercing arrow shot from nowhere and pierced his wrist. The captain of the guard wailed and took a step back while clutching his bleeding wrist.

Numerous figures emerged from the roof, the wall, and the back and forth of the alley, trapping the Queen Mother's carriage in the very center.

"Queen Dowager, Your Majesty invites you to return to the imperial capital to take care of yourselves. The Queen Mother is old, so don't work hard outside. Anyway, no matter how hard you work, it will be useless. Why bother?"

Shen Wenqing's demeanor was leisurely and leisurely, which was particularly dazzling in the eyes of the Empress Dowager. She suddenly thought of something, "Is it the news about the northern border that you leaked?"

"Yes."

Shen Wenqing frankly admitted that the empress dowager stared at him with fiery eyes, "No one can get close to the other courtyard, and you can't get out. How did the news leak?"

"The queen mother can use beauty tricks to the general, and the humble minister can also use beauty tricks to the people around him. It is thanks to the Lingxiu girl sent by the queen mother to serve, Hui Zhilanxin, not only heard about the queen mother and the general, but also Can help Weichen send the news."

The Empress Dowager's complexion changed drastically, and she scolded sharply, "That lowly maidservant!"

"People go to high places, and water flows to low places. Miss Lingxiu is a smart woman. She knows that following the queen mother will only lead to death, just like..."

Shen Wenqing's eyes fell on Su Lan, she curled her lips into a cruel smile, "Just like Aunt Su Lan."

The Empress Dowager's face turned livid, "Su Lan has served the Ai family for so many years, what do you want to do to her?"

"The emperor said that when the queen mother returns to the imperial capital, there will be good palace servants to serve the queen mother. As for Aunt Su Lan, let her go where she should go."

Su Lan's face was as white as paper, and the queen mother said angrily, "Presumptuous! You, a little Shen Wenqing, dare to snatch someone from Ai's family?"

"Not only dare to snatch people away from the Queen Mother, but also dare to kill people in front of the Queen Mother!"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Wenqing glanced at the deputy leader, "Do it!"

The deputy leader raised his hand and waved it down heavily, "Kill! No one will be left behind!"

The hidden guards rushed forward like wolves and tigers, like wolves rushing into a flock of sheep. The remaining dozens of guards of the Queen Mother were slaughtered before they could have a cup of tea. The whole alley was dyed red, and the strong smell of blood was disgusting.

The nearby residents all heard the sound here, but no one had the courage to take a look here.

Aunt Su Lan was the only one left beside the Queen Mother, she held Su Lan's hand tightly, for fear that she would be captured and killed by the hidden guards.

Shen Wenqing glanced at the deputy leader, who was about to grab Su Lan. Su Lan was shaking like chaff, but she gritted her teeth and did not beg for mercy.

Seeing that Su Lan, who had been with her for decades, was about to die here, the queen mother finally lowered her head, which she had refused to lower, and she looked at Shen Wenqing with red eyes, "Shen Wenqing, please let Su Lan go, the Ai family only She's left."
