Become a feudal king from today - #878 - Chapter 892 The Second Wave
“This bastard is so cruel, he even kills his own people.”
On a second-floor restaurant a hundred meters away from the massacre scene.
Three people were lying on the ridge of the roof observing everything.
The person in the middle put down his telescope and couldn’t help but clicked his tongue.
They were the ANBU from the Fourth Academy ambushing in Bacheng.
Before their arrival, there were people from the Fourth Academy spying on information and doing bribery in Bacheng.
This Bazhou did not originally belong to the Wu State, but after the Xie family surrendered to the Wu State, they lent the place to the Wu State.
The officials and generals of Bazhou obeyed the Xie family, or the orthodoxy with the eldest prince as the emperor, not the Wu state at all.
Therefore, after the Wu State moved its capital here, due to a guilty conscience, it immediately replaced most of the officials and generals in Bazhou.
Although Bazhou officials and generals were angry, they were not as powerful as others, so he could only swallow his anger.
Moreover, some of these Bazhou officials and generals did not agree with the eldest prince, but believed that Emperor Zhao Heng was still in Yanzhou, and the legitimacy of Dasong was in Yanzhou.
But the governor of Bazhou chose the eldest prince, and they had nothing to do.
Therefore, when people from the Fourth Court came into contact with these officials and generals, they could easily become the internal agents of the Fourth Court in Bazhou.
With the help of these generals and officials, the Anbu sneaked into Ba City.
When King Yan won every victory, these officials and generals became even more excited.
Having been in the officialdom for many years, they understand a truth deeply.
If you make the right choice, you will have a meteoric rise, otherwise, like the Liang family now, you will fall into dire straits.
“Death is imminent, just crazy,” said another.
Then, the three of them came down from the roof, walked through the alley for a while, and came to a hidden courtyard.
Tsui Hark is waiting for them in the yard.
Last night, Xu Hark came by boat from the upper reaches of Jiujiang, west of Bazhou.
With the cooperation of internal agents, they successfully sneaked into Bacheng.
“Chief, the whole Bacheng is in chaos. Liang Feng led troops to kill the other three families. There are still a large number of soldiers looting everywhere. They are probably going to withdraw from Bacheng.” Seeing Xu Hark, one person said.
Tsui Hark nodded, “In that case, take action immediately. Hum, the Liang family has destroyed the Han family, the Wang family and the Xie family, which saves us from taking action. Then we should send the rest on their way.”
There is no doubt that the only way to withdraw from Bacheng is the dry road to Yunzhou.
Before he came here, the ANBU members had figured out this road clearly.
Plans were made as to where suitable places were for ambushes and where suitable places were for laying mines.
Now it’s just a matter of execution.
So, taking advantage of the chaos, Xu Hark and the secret troops left the city and headed for Niu Jinshan in the south of Bacheng.
Here, there is an official road to Yunzhou.
The rest of the official road is mostly hilly, which is not suitable for them to hide.
This is the only place suitable for assassination and allows them to escape unscathed.
The chaos in Bacheng lasted for just one day.
The next day, the Liang family soldiers and horses escorted a large amount of supplies to Yunzhou.
Liang Kai and other members of the Liang family set off with the army along with Brooke and Luther.
Neither Brooke nor Luther cared about the fact that the Han Zheng family was massacred by the Liang family.
From beginning to end, all they care about is money.
Right now, they are planning how to extort a large sum of money from the Liang family, so they are secretly rejoicing.
“I didn’t expect that powerful clans like Dasong would be so useless. I’m afraid Yunzhou won’t be able to hold on for a month before it will be recaptured by King Yan. By then, Dasong will be unified. Hey, this is really a terrible person.” Lu Se and Brooke walked with the mercenaries under their command and did not shy away from talking about this matter.
After all, no one else could understand what they were saying except the translator.
The translator was far ahead in the Liang family’s team.
“It is indeed disappointing, but this war is not without any value. Dasong’s national strength has been weakened due to this civil strife, and it will take time to restore agriculture and commerce. This will make King Yan have to consider delaying military operations, which will give us Gain more time,” Brooke said.
Then, he looked at the supplies escorted by the Liang family’s soldiers and horses, and said, “And the powerful people have also emptied the wealth of Jiangnan, and this wealth will belong to us in Britain.”
Luther laughed, “That’s true, but it’s a pity. It is said that Nanliang looted Jinling, the imperial capital of Dasong, and obtained countless treasures. These treasures will now fall into the hands of Beidi and the Rus people.”
“One should never be too greedy…” Before Brooke could finish his words, he suddenly felt himself flying up, and then saw fire shooting into the sky and heard a huge explosion.
Immediately, a huge pain swept through his body, and he felt like his whole body was being torn apart.
After that, he lost consciousness.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
At the same time, more explosions occurred on the road.
They are now in Taurus Mountain. After entering the ambush circle, the Anbu set off the mines.
The violent explosion tore apart the Liang family’s team, and the mercenaries who followed the Liang family’s children were also affected.
After the flying dust, blood and broken limbs fell all over the sky, a pitiful howl sounded from Jinniu Mountain.
The march was halted by the explosion.
After coming back to his senses, the generals of the Liang family immediately came to look for Liang Kai and others.
But all they found were the bodies of Liang Kai, Liang Feng and others.
Most of the core members of the Liang family were killed or injured.
“Brooke, Brooke…” Luther survived the explosion.
It was Brooke who blocked the blast wave for him.
But even so, he was wounded, a piece of shrapnel tore into his shoulder, tearing the flesh and piercing it deeply.
After shaking Brook again, Luther raised his head and looked at the surrounding mountains and forests, and said to the mercenaries under his command, “The assassins must be in the mountains. Find them.”
“Yes.” An officer immediately led the mercenaries into the forest.
But after rummaging through the mountain, he found nothing.
By this time, Luther and the remaining Liang family members had packed up the bodies.
“Your emperor and prince are both dead.” Looking at Brooke and the dead mercenary soldiers, Luther looked at Liang Kai’s body.
Liang Kai’s eyes were still open. Apparently before he died, he couldn’t believe that he would die in an assassination.
“This King Yan is really a ruthless person. This enemy is probably Xi Tu’s nightmare, but there is no choice. Between him and us, Xi Tu, there will be only one winner in the end.” Luther thought to himself.
Immediately, he continued, “Liang Feng has no heirs. Now I will give you a chance to choose a person with the closest blood to him. From now on, he will be the emperor of Wu recognized by us in Britain.”
Not long after, a man walked out surrounded by the children of the Liang family.
He is the third prince of Wu Kingdom and the third brother of Liang Feng.
Since the founding of the Wu Kingdom, he has been competing with Liang Feng for the position of crown prince, and they even went to the point of fighting each other.
Now that Liang Feng was dead, not only was he not sad, he was actually a little happy.
He was finally the emperor of Wu.
Although he was just an exiled emperor, it was better than living in Liang Feng’s shadow.
“From now on, Wu will be Britain’s slave.” Liang Du bowed deeply to Luther, looking humble.
Luther nodded and just let him continue to lead the army south.
After passing through the Niujiao Mountain Trail, Luther glanced back in the direction of Dasong.
Squinting his eyes slightly, he said: “King Yan, one day, we will meet on the battlefield. At that time, it will be time for us to attack Yan City.”
He decided to return to Tianzhu, rejoin the British army, and fight for the glory of Britain.
