Text Chapter 608: The Imperial Eagle Dog Loses Its Conscience

In the early morning, the head of Yang Fan, a retainer of the Northern Qi Mansion, was hung high on the city gate as a sign of punishment, and Tang Lan's notice was posted beside it, saying that the laws of the empire are the same in Bailing City. Killing must also pay for life!

...

"when!"

A heavy palm landed on the Jinsimu table, Bei Qi Ying, who was nearly sixty years old, looked angry. He was the only one in Yihe Kingdom who could write heavenly scriptures, and he was the only one in Yihe Kingdom who could write heavenly scriptures. Tiandi, the second level of Tianjing, how could he stand such aggrieved, and shouted angrily: "My Beiqi Mansion and the Empire are incompatible! Lin Muyu killed my son Beiqi Huan, and now Tang Lan is bullying too much , Killing Yang Fan of my Northern Qi Mansion, it is truly abominable!"

On the side, the eldest son Bei Qi said shyly: "Father, don't get angry... Huh, this old thief Tang Lan only has less than 10,000 soldiers in his hands. After distributing them to the four major city gates, he only has a few hundred people to use, and our Bei Qi Mansion There are 2,000 people in the private army, plus hundreds of heavenly books, and you are afraid that Tang Lan will not be able to succeed? As long as the father gives an order, the child will immediately lead the nursing home and the private army to the south of the town to kill Tang Lan. , drive this group of imperial eagle dogs out of Bailing City!"

As he said that, Bei Qi raised his lips in embarrassment, and said, "Father, Dadutong is trapped in the Jiange, but Marshal Long Qianlin is already on his way back. Once he welcomes Dadutong, he will definitely point his troops at Bailing City. At this time, our Northern Qi Mansion can take Bailing City by itself and dedicate it to Dadutong, then our Northern Qi Mansion can be called the number one meritorious service of the Yihe Kingdom, what does father think?"

"Nan'er, you still haven't thought deeply enough."

Bei Qiying sneered: "Tang Lan is an old man, why do we have to do it ourselves to get rid of him? We just need to move our mouths and spend a few gold coins, and Tang Lan can send his head to the tower by himself!"

"Oh? What is father going to do?"

"Just so..."

...

At noon, a large group of civilians from the Yihe Kingdom surrounded the Zhennan Palace. Everyone's faces were full of righteous indignation, and they waved their fists loudly at the soldiers holding shields in front of the gate of the palace with panicked expressions on their faces. Swearing while writing a line in red ink on a long piece of white cloth

"Imperial eagles are devastated, I will live and die with Yihe!"

Not only that, these thousands of people even waved their arms and shouted this slogan in unison. Tang Lan must give an explanation, otherwise they will continue to make trouble and surround the palace, making Tang Lan unable to advance or retreat.

In the afternoon, the gate of the palace was finally opened, and Tang Lan came out in a brocade robe, wearing a three-star Ziyinhua military badge around his neck, looking at the troublemakers outside the palace with cold eyes, and said: "Give me all of them." Quiet, tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Among the crowd, an old man came out and said tremblingly: "The old man sees His Royal Highness King Qihai!"

"You don't need to be too polite, just tell me."

The old man nodded and said: "Yihe Kingdom has always promoted the equality of all living beings and treating people as benevolence, but now the empire has seized our city and slaughtered our robes. , killed many people of the Yihe Kingdom, everyone said that the female emperor Qin Yin was lenient, but now we don't see any lenient, how are you different from wild beasts when you commit such atrocities?"

"Yang Fan killed someone in private, and he deserves to die." Tang Lan said coldly.

"This is the territory of the Yihe Kingdom, so the laws of the Yihe Kingdom should be implemented. Killing people in heaven is not a violation of the law."

"Presumptuous!" Tang Lan's eyes turned cold: "Bailing City has been the territory of the empire for thousands of years, so it should obey the laws of the empire and kill people for their lives. There is no need to say anything."

The old man gritted his teeth: "Your Highness is so indistinguishable from red and green, it's really disappointing. We are all free citizens of Yihe Kingdom, and we absolutely don't want to be slaves of the empire. Your Highness insists on going his own way, and we have no choice but to die!"

"you!"

Tang Lan's eyes were cold, and he pointed five fingers together, and said, "Tang Bi, set up an offensive formation and block the entrance of the palace, and those who block the entrance of the palace will be killed without mercy!"

"yes!"

Tang Bi led a group of soldiers from the Tang family to rush forward and directly hacked and killed several people. The blood directly stained the steps of the palace red. When they saw the dead, many people were frightened, but a few people in the crowd picked up the dead man. The bricks were thrown at the soldiers of the Tang family, and Tang Bi became angry for a while, holding a steel knife and said: "Kill me, these troublemakers!"

"yes!"

The people started to kill, arrows were fired, all the troublemakers were killed in a blink of an eye, and the soldiers were also red-eyed, rushed out of the mansion with their weapons in hand, and even killed people on the street.

"Kill it! Kill it! The Imperial Eagle is going to slaughter the city!"

Some people were shouting, and it was the afternoon business hours of Bailing City. Countless merchants and passers-by on the street were all terrified, especially when they saw the soldiers of the Tang family killing people with knives in the distance, One by one, they ran away in a panic, and the street was already in chaos in the blink of an eye.

Throughout the afternoon, the news spread all over the streets and alleys in the city, and no one knew who was spreading the news that Tang Lan was about to slaughter the city. Almost millions of people in Bailing City knew that Tang Lan was about to wield the butcher knife !

When night fell, the gates of the four cities had been attacked again and again. Countless people asked to leave the city. When the guards did not open the gates, many mercenaries and warriors from the Knights' Hall chose to attack. This night was doomed. It was a night full of turmoil.

...

In the early morning of the next day, Tang Lan didn't sleep all night, and his hair was all gray.

"Your Highness..."

Tang Bi said with a pale expression: "The defenders at the south gate lost more than 300 people last night, and more at the north gate, nearly a thousand people were lost. We don't even know who killed them. It's sad. ...As soldiers of the empire, we should have died on the battlefield, but now we are dying under the swords of these despicable people!"

"Tang Bi."

Tang Lan looked at the old man without any charm in his eyes, and said: "I, Tang Lan, said that I was scheming, but now I have to die under someone else's scheming, I am not reconciled..."

Tang Bi said: "Your Highness, who do you think this group of people are?"

"It doesn't matter who it is." Tang Lan seemed to have aged for decades, and said, "Qin Yin wants me to die, and Qin Yi also wants me to die. Peeling and eating meat, now even these troublemakers from the Yihe Kingdom want me to die... Northern Qi Mansion, Northern Qi Mansion, I, Tang Lan, have ruled the world all my life. I have never been afraid of such a villain, but now... I actually want to rely on others, It is subject to the checks and balances of the Northern Qi government."

"Your Highness..." Tang Bi was heartbroken, and said, "We still have at least 5,000 troops in our hands. There is no need to be restrained by the Northern Qi Mansion. They have the heavenly scriptures, and we have them too. Why should we be afraid?"

Tang Lan shook his head slowly: "It's useless...it's useless, I'm Tang Lan's fault, not you, Tang Bi, you immediately gather your troops and lead these 5,000 people to break out of the city, Your Highness Yin just ordered me to stay guard City, then... let me, Tang Lan, guard Bailing City alone, life or death is entirely up to the destiny."

"No!"

Tang Bi gritted his teeth: "The veteran will never leave His Highness. If he dies, he will die together. The veteran will call everyone to guard the palace!"

"well……"

Tang Lan sighed: "Why are you doing this?"

Tang Bi smiled: "This is my last loyalty as a general of the Tang family, please give me this opportunity, Your Highness, let me die on the battlefield with you, and fight against them , I die without regret.”

"good!"

...

At noon, Tang Lan's army abandoned the four city gates and gathered all 5,000 people in the palace. It seemed... Tang Lan was already contending with the forces of the entire Yihe Kingdom.

Amidst the sound of horseshoes, a column of cavalry galloped forward and confronted Tang Lan's army from a distance.

"Who are they?"

Tang Lan was dressed in armor, holding a steel knife and asking the people around him.

Tang Bi said: "It's a mercenary, a mercenary from the Yihe Kingdom."

"Oh?" Tang Lan couldn't help laughing: "Yihe Kingdom actually hired mercenaries to kill me?"

"It seems so." Tang Bi smiled wryly.

At this time, a mercenary wearing a senior military rank rode forward, with a beard on his face, holding a heavy battle ax in his hand, and said with a smile, "You old fellows... which one is Tang Lan?"

Tang Lan rode out: "This is the old man."

The mercenary laughed loudly: "So it's you, it seems that I can't stand up to my ax at all... Tang Lan, listen carefully, I am the president of the Yihe Kingdom's Sharp Mercenary Guild, and his name is Li Dalei. In the name of Lao Tzu, people from the Northern Qi Mansion offered 20 million gold Yin coins to buy your head, as long as we get your head, we will have nothing to worry about in this life."

Tang Lan sneered and said, "It turns out that my head is so precious. Li Dalei, if you want the old man's head, come and get it, if you have the ability!"

"Stop talking nonsense and kill me!"

Li Dalei gave an order, and the mercenaries charged immediately.

"Array, defensive array!"

When Tang Bi gave an order, a group of veterans moved with shields in their hands. Although they were old, their fighting ability was tens of thousands of times stronger than this group of mercenaries!

There were many shields, spears piercing, and the echelon gun array of three consecutive lines of defense made the mercenaries' horses attack useless. Soon, each mercenary became a skewer on the tip of the spear.

"Grandfather's!"

Li Dalei became angry from embarrassment: "All charge!"

Nearly 2,000 mercenaries came in under cover, and a bloody battle immediately kicked off in front of the palace.

...

On February 23rd, the sharp edge mercenary army was wiped out, and Tang Lan's army also lost nearly a thousand people.

In the early morning, another group of people started to attack the palace. They came from the counties and counties under the jurisdiction of Bailing City. There were more than 4,000 people in total. They were well-equipped, and after a few rounds of arrow shooting, they killed Tang Lan's men. Hundreds of people, at this time, Tang Lan's army was also showing signs of fatigue, and their physical strength and energy were already exhausted.

However, there were more and more troops outside the mansion, and the flags of the Yihe Kingdom joined together.

At noon, the crowd parted, and Bei Qi Ying, the patriarch of the Northern Qi Mansion, came out wearing a long gown, clasped his fists and smiled, "Tang Lan, Lord Lan, His Royal Highness King Qihai, this old man is here to see you off!"
