Chapter 175 Are You Really Looking Forward to My Death?
Han Zheng stared at Li Tianbao, unable to tell that he was lying.
And it was already this time, so there was no need for Li Tianbao to lie.
He was also quite savage, knowing that killing Liao Hongsheng would have serious consequences, so he did not fight Liao Hongsheng to the death.
Han Zheng rubbed his head and frowned.
The man who plotted against Liao Hongsheng was really vicious, and it could be said that he wanted to completely plot against Liao Hongsheng without leaving any room for maneuver.
First, he instigated the hot-tempered Dragon King of Yanbo Lake to attack Liao Hongsheng.
The two would definitely fight to the death when they met, and no one would give in.
But this battle might not be able to completely kill Liao Hongsheng, as there were too many variables, so he arranged for Li Tianbao, the Red Flag Bandit who had a grudge against Liao Hongsheng, to take action.
But Li Tianbao's strength was too weak, and he could not even defeat the injured Liao Hongsheng, and he did not have the courage to kill Liao Hongsheng.
So that man must have had another or even two arrangements to kill Liao Hongsheng.
"Did you see the man's face clearly?"
"No, the distance was too far, I could only vaguely see his figure."
"What about the arrows and letters he shot at that time?"
"I dealt with them directly."
That was all the information that could be obtained from Li Tianbao. Han Zheng directly tore Li Tianbao's meridians one by one, and finally printed a palm on his dantian, completely abolishing his martial arts.
Li Tianbao spit out a mouthful of blood, looking at Han Zheng with red eyes: "Kill me! Kill me! I have told you everything I know, why don't you kill me!?"
With his martial arts abolished, the next days will definitely be worse than death. Li Tianbao wished he could die immediately.
"Want to die? It's not that easy.
After all, you are also a famous red flag thief. We have to go through a public trial before killing you."
The Demon-Slaying Division is still very straightforward and swift to demons. There is no need to talk about human rights. Just kill them directly.
But for these bandits and thugs, it is more valuable to capture them alive than dead. Public trial and public execution can also deter a large number of people.
Han Zheng waved his hand and had Li Tianbao's hands and feet locked up.
A moment later, Zhang Yan also came back with his men, with a look of joy on his face, and the arc of his mouth was extremely difficult to suppress.
"Sir! We made a fortune this time!
Except for some stubborn resistance, the remaining more than 70 red flag bandits were captured by us!"
Han Zheng said in a deep voice: "Some people emptied the entire red flag bandit stronghold, and the rest were responsible for escorting the red flag bandits.
If they saw any dishonest people, they would directly abolish their cultivation to prevent them from causing trouble when they returned to Yanbo Mansion."
When they came, Zhang Yan and his men only brought a small boat for speed.
When they went back, Zhang Yan and his men requisitioned all the red flag bandits' boats, and filled eight large ships with various supplies.
Han Zheng was stunned by the boatloads of silk, brocade, porcelain, fur, and all kinds of gold, silver, and jewelry.
He knew that the Red Flag Pirates must have been very rich after robbing merchant ships on Yanbo Lake over the years, but he didn't expect them to be so rich.
Seeing the accumulation of the Red Flag Pirates, Han Zheng felt that Li Tianbao was a complete waste, a house-guarding dog, and an incompetent person.
Wulao Mountain is indeed suitable for use as a base.
The normal development direction of the Red Flag Pirates should be to expand outward based on Wulao Mountain, but Li Tiancheng only wanted to guard Wulao Mountain and become a local emperor.
There were so many materials and treasures accumulated in the mountain stronghold, and some brocades were even moldy. Li Tianbao didn't give them to his men. No wonder those Red Flag Pirates were unwilling to die for him.
It was already early morning when the fleet returned to Yanbo Mansion, and even caused some misunderstandings at the beginning.
The reason why the Red Flag Pirates were called the Red Flag Pirates was because their sails were all red.
So the eight red-flag ships arrived at the dock on the east bank of Yanbo Lake, and instantly caused a commotion.
Everyone thought that the Red Flag Bandits were so bold that they were going to attack Yanbo Mansion directly.
So someone immediately reported it to the Demon-Slaying Division.
In the Demon-Slaying Division, Pei Xiuyuan and Zhao Rongye were both shocked when they received the news.
Pei Xiuyuan looked at the Black Armor Guard who came to report the news and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure? Are the Red Flag Bandits really on the shore?"
The Black Armor Guard nodded repeatedly: "Absolutely not wrong! The eight large ships are all flying the flags of the Red Flag Bandits!"
"I knew that Han Zheng was more likely to cause trouble than to help!"
Pei Xiuyuan snorted coldly: "He insisted on going to Wulao Mountain to be an undercover agent, but now he has sacrificed himself and more than 30 brothers, and he has completely angered the Red Flag Bandits, and they even dared to attack Yanbo Mansion!"
The other Jinwen team leaders who did not choose to attack Wulao Mountain with Han Zheng at the beginning were very grateful at this time.
Fortunately, they didn't get angry and didn't follow Han Zheng to do these messy things.
"Gather the brothers and fight against the Red Flag Bandits! They can be arrogant in the water, but it's not their turn to show off on the shore!
Han Zheng made a mess and can't take care of it himself, so let us take care of it!"
As he said, Pei Xiuyuan immediately gathered people to the shore of Yanbo Lake.
Zhao Rongye sighed, as if he was regretful, shook his head gently, and followed Pei Xiuyuan.
The group burst out at the fastest speed, and rushed straight to the Red Flag Bandits' large ships with murderous intent.
Pei Xiuyuan saw that the ships had already docked, and he immediately shouted: "Bold Red Flag Bandits! It's okay for you to kill Lord Han, but you dare to go ashore and attack Yanbo Mansion. You are really bold!
As long as I, Pei Xiu, are far away, you guys can't even think of stepping into... huh? "
Pei Xiuyuan was choked back before he finished speaking.
Han Zheng jumped off the boat with Zhang Yan and others, followed by the red flag bandits who were connected in a string by ropes, like candied haws.
Han Zheng looked at Pei Xiuyuan with a half-smile: "Master Pei, what are you doing with such murderous intent?"
Pei Xiuyuan's face turned red and white.
He really didn't expect that Han Zheng could actually destroy Wulaoshan!
He had participated in the battle when Liao Hongsheng led the entire Yanbo Fudang Demon Division to attack Wulaoshan.
There was an undercurrent surging around them, and many of the brothers from Dang Mo Division had no choice but to cross the undercurrent, and faced sniper attacks from city-breaking crossbows.
Liao Hongsheng was really fierce. He directly took the lead and used his powerful Gang Qi to separate the lake water and forcefully fight against the undercurrent.
At the same time, he stood at the forefront and resisted the sniper attacks from the city-breaking crossbows. The furthest they reached were as close as the shore of Wulao Mountain.
As a result, Li Tianbao led a group of red flag bandits into the water to intercept Liao Hongsheng.
Previously, Liao Hongsheng took the lead and consumed a lot of his true energy and blood power. In addition, Li Tianbao occupies a favorable location and Liao Hongsheng was not good at water combat. He finally defeated Liao Hongsheng at the cost of a large number of casualties.
That battle was extremely brutal and failed to break through Wulao Mountain. Who would have thought that Han Zheng went into Wulao Mountain undercover like a whim, and actually broke through Wulao Mountain, and even captured Li Tianbao and other red flag bandits alive!
"My subordinates thought that the Red Flag bandits were daring enough to attack the state capital, so they came to support us. Unexpectedly, it was Lord Han who returned in triumph."
Pei Xiuyuan forced a smile.
This is the first time he calls himself subordinate in front of Han Zheng.
"It seems that Master Pei has little confidence in me.
And Mr. Pei just said that it was enough for Chiqi to kill me. Is it a trivial matter for me, the Dangmo Captain who guards Yanbo Mansion, to be killed? That’s all? "
Han Zheng stared at Pei Xiuyuan closely. Although there was a smile on his face, it was a bit cold.
Pei Xiuyuan's face turned red and he whispered: "This is not what I meant."
Zhao Rongye said from the side: "Master Han, Master Pei was so anxious that he spoke openly, but he really didn't mean that.
Mr. Han is guarding Yanbo Mansion. If something happens, the whole Yanbo Mansion will be shaken. How can it be a trivial matter?
It's just that Yanbo Mansion has not been openly attacked for a long time, and he is also anxious.
I would like to congratulate Mr. Han for breaking through Wulaoshan, wiping out the Red Flag bandits, and wiping out this group of water bandits who have been causing trouble for more than ten years. It can be said to be a great achievement.
There are still many things to follow, so let’s not stand here. How about we go back and talk about it? "
Zhao Rongye is senior, so regardless of what he thinks in his heart, he is usually quite respectful to Han Zheng.
Seeing him trying to smooth things over, Han Zheng stopped targeting Pei Xiuyuan, and just waved his hand and said, "Just in time, you brought people here to put all the Red Flag thieves into prison, and then take the captured things back to the Dang Mo Si Yamen, and prepare to discuss their merits. Let’s reward him.”
Seeing Han Zheng finally leaving with the people, Pei Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief and showed a grateful smile to Zhao Rongye.
Normally, he would be a little unhappy when he saw this old guy, relying on his old age to act like a fool.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Rongye would speak for him at a time like today.
Looking at Han Zheng's back, Zhao Rongye patted Pei Xiuyuan on the shoulder and said, "Master Pei, Master Han is our boss after all. Some things are just fine on the surface."
With that said, Zhao Rongye showed a meaningful smile and followed Han Zheng away.
