Chapter 518 Who Is Suing Me?

Of course,

Lin Chen did not intend to let the King of Wu run away.

He immediately ordered people to chase the King of Wu and vowed to capture the mastermind of the rebellion.

It must be said that

there were many brave warriors in the Tang army who were eager to make achievements.

Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and others heard the order and immediately chased after him with their own troops.

Qin Liangyu also excitedly muttered to her elder brother:

"Brother, that is the King of Wu. If he is captured, it will be the first merit of this battle!"

However, Qin Banghan was unmoved.

He knew that he had followed Lin Chen to defend Fangling Shangyong, which was a great achievement.

He didn't care about the so-called first merit.

Qin Liangyu saw that her elder brother was so dull, and angrily rolled his eyes at him, and followed with his troops.

For a time, in order to compete for the first merit, the Liangshan leaders of the two guards in Huaiyang began to compete secretly.

So a very strange scene appeared.

One Tang army can chase a hundred or so Wu soldiers, and there are more than a thousand surrenderers, but they are as obedient as sheep under the guard of a few Tang soldiers.

As for the King of Wu,

he still hasn't figured out how all his 500,000 troops were killed by Lin Chenjia.

In fact, the number of Wu rebels killed by the Tang army was only 100,000.

The rest all surrendered and fled.

In fact, almost all ancient battles where the weak defeated the strong were like this.

The number of people is often not the key to determining a battle.

Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have been burned down by the Sun-Liu coalition with less than 50,000 people in the Battle of Chibi.

"My king, there are still millions of people in your fiefdom. You only need one order to rebuild the army. You can't give up here!"

After that, the staff member also brought out some old stories to motivate the King of Wu.

This chicken soup is like spring breeze and rain, which at least cheered up the King of Wu.

However, what the staff member didn't say was

The main forces of the King of Wu were all gone in this ghost place. The court was not stupid. How could it allow the King of Wu to continue to grow in the southwest?

Anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

After this battle, even if the King of Wu could save his life, it would be difficult for him to maintain his original fiefdom.

More likely, the Wu vassal would face the disaster of the court's destruction directly.

But at the moment, the King of Wu is still their backbone, and he needs to be reorganized.

Only Hong Antong, the general who had fled with the King of Wu, looked confused at this moment.

Thinking that he had bet on the other party at the beginning, he came to serve with most of the family assets of the Shenlong Sect, hoping to create brilliance together.

But what about now?

How could the original leader of the Shenlong Sect be willing to accept that half of his life's hard work was destroyed?

What's more, the Tang army was chasing him relentlessly, and the situation was precarious.

Under the pressure of the Tang army, the King of Wu had to arrange his confidants to cover the rear in order to seek a glimmer of hope.

This act of cutting off the tail to survive finally allowed the King of Wu and his party to find a cave to temporarily shelter.

The blazing bonfire reflected the confusion and hesitation on the faces of more than ten people in the cave.

The King of Wu looked at these remaining confidants and knew in his heart that if he could not boost morale, he would not be able to return to his fiefdom and the people's hearts would be scattered.

He took a deep breath and was about to make an impassioned speech to inspire everyone with the old story of Liu Bang.

However, at this moment,

the sound of a sharp weapon piercing a human body suddenly sounded.

The King of Wu looked back in astonishment and saw that Hong Antong had killed the only two remaining Wu army generals in the team.

Without these two people, the rest were all a group of staff and civil officials, and they could not be the opponents of him, the half-step innate leader.

"Hong Antong, what do you mean!?"

The other staff saw this and subconsciously scolded Hong Antong.

"What do you mean? Of course it's a way to survive!" Hong Antong smiled coldly, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

He was unwilling to follow King Wu like this and become a dog without a home.

What he wanted was a way to live, wealth, and power!

Since King Wu could no longer give him these, he would use his head as a stepping stone to advance!

Moreover.

Hong Antong felt that he knew the secrets of the Dragon Sect and was well aware of the news of the remnants of the previous dynasty such as Su Quan.

As long as he could abandon the dark and turn to the light and tell the Li Tang court the truth, he might be able to preserve his wealth for the rest of his life!

"You...!"

The staff member pointed at Hong Antong with a trembling hand.

But before he could finish his words, he was killed by a palm from Hong Antong.

But in a moment,

all the living people in the cave had fallen down, including King Wu.

When he died in the end, his eyes were still full of astonishment and confusion.

This king of a different surname, who did not hide his ambition, was the first to raise an army and had great potential.

However, he did not expect that in just one month, he would be deserted by his friends and relatives.

Hong Antong cut off the head of King Wu without hesitation and walked out of the cave with excitement on his face.

Not long after.

A sound of horse hooves was heard from the bottom of the mountain.

"Search the mountain! King Wu must be hiding here!"

Lu Zhishen was meticulous. After discovering that King Wu was gone, he carefully searched for possible hiding places and finally found this place.

However, when he arrived, he saw Hong Antong walking out of the cave holding the head of King Wu.

"Don't do it, I killed King Wu and made a great contribution! I want to see General Lin Chenjia of the Imperial Guards!"

In order to save his life, Hong Antong immediately revealed his identity.

Sure enough.

When Hong Antong said that he was the leader of the Shenlong Sect and had secret news to tell General Yulin, Lu Zhishen put away the fierce light in his eyes.

After all, Hong Antong is alone, so killing him and seizing the head of King Wu is not a big problem.

"If you dare to deceive me, I will crush your head."

After Lu Zhishen threatened coldly, he asked Hong Antong to follow the team.

Hong Antong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

For now, his life is saved.

At the same time, in Lin Chen's military tent.

He sent all the Tang soldiers out to collect prisoners, and the Shenji Camp from the Emei Secret Realm was also sent back by him.

After all, the origin of the Shenji Camp is not easy to explain.

Fortunately, as the commander, he does not have to worry about his subordinates saying something they shouldn't say.

Just when Lin Chen was thinking about how to write a memorial to Li Zhao, he heard a burst of uproar in the camp.

"What's the matter?"

When Lin Chen was surprised, he saw Lu Zhishen and a middle-aged man in a messy figure walked in.

As soon as Hong Antong saw Lin Chen, he bowed his head and presented the head of King Wu.

"The head of the King of Wu?"

Lin Chen glanced at the round object on the ground, waved his hand to signal Lu Zhishen to take it down, pickled it with lime, and sent it to the capital to report the good news.

When only Hong Antong was left in the tent, Lin Chen looked at him with interest.

"Are you the leader of the Dragon Sect, Hong Antong?"

"Yes, I am!" Hong Antong replied quickly.

However.

As soon as Hong Antong finished speaking, he saw the general Yulin who had been wearing a ghost mask in front of him suddenly took off the bronze ghost mask.

It was an overly young and handsome face.

But for some reason, Hong Antong felt that this face was familiar.

"I heard that the leader Hong knew many secrets of the remnants of the previous dynasty?"

Hong Antong heard the inexplicable meaning in Lin Chen's words, although he was worried, he nodded truthfully.

"Yes."

In order to make Lin Chen believe, he even broke the shocking news he learned from Su Quan.

"Little... I also know that there is a prince from the previous dynasty who is still alive and intends to rebel!"

"Oh?"

Lin Chen heard this and a hint of amusement appeared on his face.

At this moment, should he shout:

"Who in the hall dares to sue me!"

...
