Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 240 The expedition and the death of He Yong

News of King Yong's rebellion quickly spread back to the capital. Emperor Wen was furious and immediately ordered troops to quell the rebellion. So Ling Buyi set off with his army.

On the night of departure, after setting up camp and resting, Ling Buhuo walked into the Chinese army tent, bowed and said, "Brother, how do you plan to fight this battle? Do you have any countermeasures in mind?"

"Huh? Let me tell you what you think first. Since you have spoken, you must have thought about it, right?" Ling Busuo did not answer Ling Buhuo's question, but asked instead

"Brother, how dare I show off in front of you? I just made some small preparations. I asked someone to bring Prince Xiao here. I think he should be able to use it when the time comes." Ling Buhuo said.

"You, haha, you really didn't have the wrong name. You are really insidious." Ling Busuo said

"Brother, I just thought you were complimenting me. Brother, in fact, you and I both know that the He family is actually fine, so this battle shouldn't be that difficult."

"But there is a problem that we have to consider, that is, once the He family survives this time, let alone whether they go to Danyang or not, it will be a big trouble for He Zhaojun alone."

"After all, He Yong is not a fool. As long as he meets He Zhaojun, he will definitely understand that someone is causing trouble in all this, and he can easily guess who I am."

"When the time comes, we'll probably have one more enemy." Ling Buhuo said.

"Huh? Don't hide it from me. If you have anything to say, just say it." Ling Buyi said

"Brother, if I say that we were delayed along the way and didn't arrive in time, do you think other people will believe it?" Ling Buhuo said.

"You? Do you mean it? Are you crazy? Have you forgotten?" Ling Busuo asked

"Brother, I know you can't get over this hurdle in your heart, but if you can't get over it, there are people who can. The reason why there were problems back then was because people didn't arrive?"

"They can do it, why can't you? What's more, they are a group of people. If you can't do the same as them, how can you deal with them?" Ling Buhuo said.

"Stop talking, I won't do anything like this." Ling Busuo said

"Brother, don't worry, how could such a thing get your hands dirty? Of course all this is my attention. Of course you don't know anything about it, just like usual."

"You don't have to worry about what I do. Just stay indifferent. I will take care of the rest and make sure there won't be any mistakes."

"Even if it is exposed in the future, it is my business and has nothing to do with you, brother." Ling Buhuo said

"You, why did you do this? What is your intention?" Ling Buyue asked directly

"Brother, after so many years, don't you still understand me? Of course I want to climb up. What I want this time is just a position to go to court."

"As long as I can appear in the main hall, I don't care about anything else." Ling Buhuo said

"Hmph, your appetite is not small. You can go back. Remember, you didn't tell me anything today, and I don't know anything." Ling Busuo said

"That's natural, brother. Today we are just chatting and reminiscing about old times and discussing how to fight this battle. We haven't said anything else." Ling Buhuo said with a smile.

"I remind you that the Marquis of Zhongshui is in Feng Yi County now. If something goes wrong with him, you will be responsible for all the consequences. I can't protect you." Ling Busuo said

"Brother, don't worry, all this is my own decision and has nothing to do with anyone." Ling Buhuo said

After saying that, Ling Buhuo left the Zhongjun tent directly. Ling Busuo looked at Ling Buhuo's back, his brows furrowed. At this time, he was very entangled in his heart. He didn't know why he agreed.

According to his past personality, he would never agree to such a thing, but for some reason just now, he just acquiesced, which troubled him very much.

I feel that I have changed and become just like my enemies, just as shameless.

At this time, Ling Buhuo didn't know what his brother was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely sneer at him. How can a person with a blood feud still be moral?

In his opinion, if you want to take revenge, the first thing to do is to abandon morality. Only by being worse than the evil person can you get revenge, otherwise it is just a beautiful fantasy.

At this time, he called Lu Cheng over and gave a few instructions. Then Lu Cheng left the military tent. Time passed slowly. Three days had passed since the last time the brothers talked.

In the past three days, they marched as usual, advancing at a normal speed without any changes. Although Ling Buyi felt a little strange, he didn't ask any more questions.

Until the beginning of the fourth day, when they were marching, they encountered troubles from time to time. Either there was a landslide in front of them or there was something wrong with the carriage. The marching speed inevitably slowed down.

Ling Buhuo watched those people repairing the carriage every day. Every day, Ling Buhuo showed great anxiety. From time to time, Ling Buhuo's curses could be heard in the Chinese military tent.

But after doing so many things, there was no improvement in the marching speed. Instead, it became slower and slower. In the end, Ling Buhuo became so angry that he started killing the craftsmen directly.

After he killed ten craftsmen, the marching speed returned to normal. At this time, in Feng Yi County, He Yong could no longer hold on.

"Marquis Zhongshui, the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time. We are afraid that the worst is in danger." He Yong frowned.

"Yes, I don't know what happened to Ling Buyi this time. There has never been a delay before, so why do things happen one after another this time?" Li Zhongdao

"I have heard of General Ling's reputation. I'm afraid it won't be that simple this time. I'm afraid someone from the Xiao family got into the reinforcements." He Yong said

"I think so. I heard that Marquis Xiangwu has already killed many craftsmen in a hurry. I think General Ling must have been in a hurry." said Marquis Zhongshui.

"Yes, the people we are dealing with this time are different from the past. This King Yong is a veteran who followed His Majesty in the North and South. Many people in the court were his comrades in arms back then."

"Whether there is any collusion with him, it's hard to say right now," He Yong said.

"Hey, that's all we can do now. Okay, Brother He, I'll go back and arrange some personal soldiers first. If the situation is unfavorable, I'll send them up."

"Although there are not many of them, they are all powerful soldiers who are as powerful as ten." Li Zhongdao

"Oh, if that's the case, then thank you Brother Li." He Yong hurriedly said after hearing this

"Okay, it's time now so don't be polite. I'm leaving first." Li Zhong said and left.

Li Zhong, who returned to his military tent, called his confidant over and said, "You know everything, right? It's impossible for Marquis Xiangwu's reinforcements to arrive on time."

"Be prepared. If things change, take action directly. He Yong must not be allowed to live." Li Zhong said with a gloomy face.

Yes, Li Zhong knew Ling Buhuo's plan. Ling Buhuo had told Li Ze his plan long before the expedition, so Li Zhong naturally knew it.

This was also the reason why he behaved so kindly after arriving at Feng Yi County. After all, he would not care about a dying person. He knew that reinforcements would not come. But he was worried that He Yong could persist, so he made other preparations just in case.

At this time, Ling Busuo directly called Ling Buhuo over for discussion.

"We have to hurry up. If we delay it any longer, we will attract criticism." Ling Buyi said directly.

"Brother, don't worry. Even if we march normally now, He Yong won't be able to hold on until we arrive, so there is no need for me to do anything." Ling Buhuo said

"What? Why are you so confident? Wait, doesn't the Marquis of Zhongshui already know your plan? When did you contact him?" Ling Busuo asked

"Brother, how could I contact Marquis Zhongshui? I just told Marquis Xiuyuan the news in advance. As for what the brothers will do, I don't know." Ling Buhuo said

Haha, you are as sinister as ever. This is all part of your plan, right? "You want to force the Marquis of Zhongshui to kill He Yong, am I right?" Ling Busuo asked.

"Eldest brother is eldest brother. I knew it was impossible to hide this from you. Yes, He Yong must die in the hands of Marquis Zhongshui. Only in this way can we be truly foolproof."

"Otherwise, our benefits are likely to be in vain. We cannot do this loss-making business. Only by grasping their handle can we really trust them, right?" Ling Buhuo said.

"Although I really don't want to admit it, what you said does make sense. I can tell, did you plan all this long ago? Or was it something you thought of and perfected later?" Ling Buquestion asked.

"Brother, I should tell you that these are things I thought of later, but in fact, I already thought of them when I was doing this game."

"Actually, I can think of this thanks to you, eldest brother. If I hadn't thought of you wanting revenge, I wouldn't have done it so perfectly."

"Brother, don't you think this scene in front of you looks familiar? Does it look like the Gucheng case back then? Do you understand now why it's so difficult to avenge your revenge?" Ling Buluzhuo said.

"Yes, there are entanglements of interests, and there are excuses for each other. A big net has appeared on the head so unknowingly, and no one can save it." Ling Buyu said in a deep voice.

"Brother, this is how things are. People don't hurt tigers, but tigers can hurt people's hearts. Although He Yong is a little innocent, there are many innocent people in the world, and he is not the least of them."

"As long as his death can help you complete what you want to do, then he is dead. In these troubled times, let alone one death, it is normal for a whole family to die," Ling Buhuo said.

"Okay, stop talking. Since I chose to do this, I won't regret it. You can go out first and think about it carefully so that you don't make any mistakes." Ling Busuo said

Ling Buhuo didn't say anything after hearing this. Instead, he bowed directly and exited the Chinese military tent.

After he left, Ling Buyi had a tangled look on his face. He had never thought that he would do this before. He had always thought that he would never do this.

He is different from those people back then, but now it seems that there is no difference. They are all the same at all means to achieve their goals. There is no difference between him and them.

At this time, Ling Buhuo didn't know the inner tangle of his brother. If he knew, he would definitely feel a sense of accomplishment. After all, Ling Buyi became like this, and he played a huge role in it.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Instead, he felt that Ling Buyu's previous life was too tiring. Although he seemed to have no scruples, he had not overcome this hurdle in his heart.

Now with his own help, he has finally passed this hurdle.

Time passed slowly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, Feng Yi County was constantly fighting, and something happened that made He Yong extremely sad. His sons died one after another.

This made him very sad, so he focused on defeating King Yong and avenging his son.

"Brother He, I know your son's death makes you very sad, but you still have to take care of yourself. Although you have lost several sons, you still have a younger son after all.

"So you have to cheer up. If you fall, your He family will be finished." Li Zhongdao

"Thank you, Marquis Zhongshui, for caring about me. It's okay. The doctor came here and said that I was overthinking. It's nothing serious. I can just cultivate myself for a few days and I'll be fine." He Yong said

"Okay, that's good. Then Brother He, you have a good rest first, and I'll leave first. After all, my husband still has a lot of things to do." After Li Yong finished speaking, he left.

He Yong looked at Li Zhong's leaving figure and sighed in his heart that this person was really not an ordinary kind person.

What he didn't know was that Li Zhong had been ready for a long time. He had been waiting for an opportunity. Time soon came to the fourth day, and the opportunity Li Zhong had been waiting for finally came.

On this day, both of their personal guards were sent to the city wall. It can be said that the situation was extremely critical.

At this moment, Li Zhong appeared in He Yong's tent, and he was not alone. Before He Yong could react, he was already dead by the sword.

Looking at the dead bodies, Li Zhong said in a deep voice, "Brother He, don't worry, my Li family will take good care of your children, so you can go with peace of mind!"

The news that an assassin appeared in the camp and killed General He immediately spread throughout the camp. What happened to the soldiers would inevitably have some impact, but fortunately Li Zhong had foreseen it.

So there wasn't much fluctuation. Thanks to the friendly attitude he had maintained these days, no one in the entire camp doubted him.

Or it’s not that there was none, but that those people didn’t have time to think carefully, and Li Zhong naturally knew about it, so those smart people soon died in the hands of the enemy.

After persisting for a day, the army led by Ling Buyi finally arrived. When they walked into the camp and saw a patch of white, they knew it was done.

So after paying homage to He Yong, the three of them gathered in the Zhongjun tent and began to discuss.

"Marquis Zhongshui, first of all, I want to congratulate you. After this, will Feng Yi County be able to do it?" Ling Buhuo asked.

"Marquis Xiangwu is joking, what is there to congratulate? I really hope this kind of thing will not happen. After all, it is the people who will suffer in the end." Li Zhongdao

"The Marquis of Zhongshui cares about the people. It's really admirable. But if you think about it this way, isn't your specialty the peace of the people? I believe that with you here, Feng Yi County will definitely be better than before." Ling Buhuo said

Regarding the greetings between the two, Ling Buyi just watched quietly from the side without saying anything.
