Chapter 892 The Second Wave
"This bastard is so cruel that he even killed his own people."
On the second floor of a restaurant a hundred meters away from the massacre site.
Three people were lying on the roof and observing everything.
The man in the middle put down his telescope and couldn't help but click his tongue.
They were the secret forces of the Fourth Court ambushing in Bacheng.
Before they arrived, some people from the Fourth Court had been spying on information and bribery in Bacheng.
This Bazhou did not originally belong to the Wu Kingdom, but after the Xie family surrendered to the Wu Kingdom, they lent it to the Wu Kingdom.
The officials and generals of Bazhou obeyed the Xie family, or in other words, the orthodoxy of the eldest prince as the emperor was not the Wu Kingdom at all.
So, after the Wu Kingdom moved its capital here, it immediately replaced most of the officials and generals of Bazhou because of its guilty conscience.
Although the officials and generals of Bazhou were annoyed, they were inferior to others, so they could only swallow their anger.
In addition, among these officials and generals of Bazhou, there were some who did not agree with the eldest prince, but believed that Emperor Zhao Heng was still in Yanzhou, and the orthodoxy of Dasong was in Yanzhou.
But the governor of Bazhou chose the eldest prince, and they could do nothing about it.
So, when the people of the four courtyards came into contact with these officials and generals, they could easily become the internal response of the four courtyards in Bazhou.
With the help of these generals and officials, the Anbu sneaked into Bacheng.
When the King of Yan won victory after victory, these officials and generals became more excited.
They have been in the officialdom for many years and deeply understand a truth.
If you make the right choice, you will be promoted to a high position. Otherwise, you will be like the Liang family at present, and fall into an irretrievable situation.
"It's just crazy when death is imminent." Another person said.
Then, the three of them came down from the roof, shuttled through the alley for a while, and came to a hidden courtyard.
Xu Ke was waiting for them in the courtyard.
Last night, Xu Ke came from the upper reaches of Jiujiang in the west of Bazhou by boat.
With the cooperation of the internal response, he successfully sneaked into Bacheng.
"Master, the whole Bacheng is in chaos. Liang Feng led his troops to kill the children of the other three families. There are still a large number of soldiers looting everywhere. They are probably going to withdraw from Bacheng." Seeing Xu Ke, one person said.
Xu Ke nodded, "If that's the case, take action immediately. Humph, the Liang family destroyed the Han family, the Wang family and the Xie family, which saved us from taking action. Then the rest should be sent on their way."
There is no doubt that the only way to withdraw from Bacheng is the dry road to Yunzhou.
Before he came, the members of the dark army had figured out this road clearly.
There is a plan for where to ambush and where to lay mines.
Now we just need to execute it.
So, taking advantage of the chaos, Xu Ke and the dark army members left the city and went to Niujin Mountain in the south of Bacheng.
Here, there is an official road to Yunzhou.
Other places on the official road are mostly hills, which is not suitable for them to hide.
Only here is suitable for assassination, and they can also retreat unscathed.
The chaos in Bacheng lasted exactly one day.
The next day, the Liang family soldiers escorted a large amount of supplies to Yunzhou.
Liang Kai and other Liang family members set off with Brooke and Luther.
Neither Brooke nor Luther cared about the fact that Han Zheng's three families were massacred by the Liang family.
From the beginning to the end, they only cared about silver.
At the moment, they were planning how to blackmail the Liang family for a large sum of silver, so they were secretly happy.
"I didn't expect that these powerful families in Dasong were so useless. Yunzhou may not last for a month before it will be recaptured by King Yan. At that time, Dasong will be unified. Alas, this is really a terrible person." Luther and Brooke went with their mercenaries and talked about this matter without hesitation.
After all, except for the translator, no one else could understand what they said.
And the translator was far ahead in the Liang family team.
"It is indeed disappointing, but this war is not without value. Dasong's national strength has been weakened by this civil strife, and it takes time to restore agriculture and trade. This will force King Yan to consider delaying military operations, so that we can win more time." Brooke said.
Then, he looked at the supplies escorted by the Liang family's troops and said, "And the powerful families have also emptied the wealth of Jiangnan, and these wealth will belong to us Britain."
Luther laughed, "That's true, but it's a pity. It is said that the Southern Liang looted Jinling, the imperial capital of Dasong, and obtained countless treasures. These treasures will now fall into the hands of the Beidi and Ross people."
"People can't be too greedy..." Brooke's words have not been finished yet, he suddenly felt himself flying up, and then saw the flames rising into the sky, and heard a huge explosion.
Then, a huge pain swept through his body, and he felt that his whole body was torn apart.
Then, he lost consciousness.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At the same time, more explosions appeared on the road.
They are now in Jinniu Mountain. After entering the ambush circle, the dark department detonated the landmine.
The violent explosion tore the Liang family's team apart, and the mercenaries following the Liang family's children were also affected.
After the dust, blood, and broken limbs fell all over the sky, a scream of agony was heard from Jinniu Mountain.
The marching team stopped because of the explosion.
After coming to their senses, the generals of the Liang family immediately came to look for Liang Kai and others.
But they only found 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 by chance.
It was Brooke who blocked the shock wave of the explosion for him.
But even so, he was wounded, a piece of shrapnel tore into his shoulder, ripping 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 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.
Even though he was just an exiled emperor, it was still 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.
Narrowing 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.
