Chapter 174 The end of Li Chuang

People in the ditch were entangled with each other, squirming and wrestling together, like maggots in a latrine.

It was Song Xiance who made the start, and Li Chuang became a life-saving straw for other thieves. Because Ying Yi had surrendered before, those who captured and killed Li Chuang were exempted from guilt.

When a disaster strikes, even husband and wife, father and son, rarely live and die together. The gangsters gathered together not for any moral reasons, but only for interests. No matter what kind of beliefs they had, they would not be able to have them even if they were beaten to death.

Song Xiance shouted "Sir" on the trench. Instead of telling these people to stop, he became even more ferocious. He wanted to tear Li Chuang into eight pieces and give each person a talisman.

Ying Yi ordered them to disperse, but he seemed to ignore them and just struggled and tore at them, letting out a miserable roar like a dying beast. Those who pulled their hair pulled their hair, those who scratched their ears scratched their ears, those who twisted their arms twisted their arms, and those who hugged their thighs hugged their thighs.

Someone was pressing on Li Chuang's head, holding Li Chuang's forehead tightly. Some of them dug into his chest, punching him one after another, as if they had sworn hatred and wanted to beat him to a pulp.

Li Chuang struggled and fought back, but how could he defeat him? Seeing that the movement was getting smaller and smaller, I almost felt like I was about to die.

With an expressionless face, Ying Yi raised the knife, the tip of the knife flashed, and in the middle of his breath he pushed the thieves away from each other, revealing Li Chuang, who was almost no longer human.

Li Chuang was unable to move.

His hands and feet were twisted out of shape, many holes had been ripped out of his clothes, his face was muddy and mixed with blood, and his nostrils were clearly split, and no one knew who had done it.

Only one eye can still be opened, but the other one is swollen and looks ugly.

One ear was also missing, and almost all of his scalp was scratched off, revealing a blood-stained skull.

"Li Chuang?"

Ying Yi looked at him calmly.

Li Chuang rolled one eye, opened his mouth, and made a hoho sound. He was speechless. His throat had sunk.

"My lord! My lord!"

Song Xiance crawled to Ying Yi's feet like a dog: "He is a robber, yes, he is a robber!"

Ying Yi raised his foot to shake him away: "Who are you?"

Song Xiance smiled flatteringly, looking extremely disgusted despite the mud on his face: "The villain is Song Xiance! Sir, the villain has been following Li Chuang for a long time and knows many secrets."

When Ying Yi heard this, he looked at him in surprise: "Are you Song Xiance?"

Song Xiance nodded quickly.

In the trench, the seven or eight thieves who had torn apart Li Chuang had already made no sound at this time. Ying Yi provoked them with the tip of his knife and took their lives at the same time.

Song Xiance was trembling in his heart, fearing that the cracked sword would fall on his head at the next moment, so he quickly added weight in the hope of surviving.

Ying Yi nodded slightly: "Then tell me, what secrets do you know about Li Chuang? If there is weight, I might as well spare your life."

Song Xiance secretly raised his heart: "Sir, I know where Li Chuang hides his treasure! Li Chuang traveled all over the world, destroyed countless cities, collected many treasures, and hid them all!"

"oh?"

Ying Yi laughed: "Treasure?"

"Yes, yes, sir." Song Xiance kowtowed and said, "Li Chuang swept the world, and most of the gold and silver he gained was used to exchange for food. But there are still many treasures, such as calligraphy and paintings by famous people in the past dynasties, jades, porcelain, etc., if they can be realized, they can Get hundreds of millions!"

When Ying Yi heard this, his heart moved and he said, "That's fine. If you tell me honestly, I will spare your life."

Then he looked at Li Chuang in the ditch: "Is this person really Li Chuang?"

Song Xiance said: "It must be Li Chuang. My lord, Li Chuang is sinister. He fell into the trench in an attempt to escape. The villain has long wanted to abandon the dark and turn to the light..."

Ying Yi laughed heartily.

He stretched out his seven-foot sword, turned his wrist, and a big head flew out of the ditch. He grabbed it and carried it away. Song Xiance did not dare to neglect, and quickly got up, hunched over and followed.

behind. In the mud of the trench, a twisted and headless corpse lay on its back, gurgling blood with endless stains, flowing silently.

Li Chuang, who had done countless crimes for a long time, died like this.

But Li Chuang is not worthy of pity. No one will give him any mercy. He raised the flag of righteousness, but his actions were cruel and vicious, no different than an animal. For such a person, death is a good thing, and it is too late to rejoice.

Li Chuang's shadow did not leave any ripples in Ying Yi's heart. For Ying Yi, killing Li Chuang was a matter of course.

He wanted to kill Li Chuang, but Li Chuang ran away this time and would not be able to run away next time. If Li Chuang wants to survive, he depends on Ying Yi. Only if Ying Yi doesn't kill him can he live.

Speaking of which earlier, Ying Yi planned to let Li Chuang go and drive him to the north, using him as a vanguard to help Ying Yi destroy the Ming Dynasty according to the path he was supposed to take.

But Ying Yi finally changed his mind.

Time changes, and people's thoughts will change with the passage of time and what they experience. Earlier, he wanted to force Li Chuang to destroy the Ming Dynasty, but Ying Yi did not want to bear the reputation of destroying the Ming Dynasty, and was more willing to obtain famous weapons from the Ming Dynasty's own system.

But now, Ying Yi's mind has changed again.

It's not that Ying Yi was in trouble all the time. There are two reasons.

First, the famous weapons of the Ming Dynasty were not as important as Ying Yi had imagined before. He became the commander-in-chief of Huguang, but he did not feel the substantial benefits of this famous weapon.

Looking back, Ying Yi was probably still influenced by some inherent thinking. In fact, at the current stage of the Ming Dynasty, the famous weapons it possesses are extremely weak and weak. Whether it is necessary or not may be important to others, but to the increasingly powerful Ying Yi, it is not Dispensable.

This is the second one. The stronger a person is, the more energetic he will be. Why rely on outside help when you can get something with your own hands? This is confidence.

Thinking about it now, if within the system of the Ming Dynasty, one achieves the goal of annihilating the Tartars and wiping out the world, and then goes further, I am afraid that people will criticize him.

Just like Cao Mengde, it is convenient to hold the famous utensils of the imperial court, but it is also a kind of constraint.

In this case, it is better to use real swords and guns to create a bright world!

People say that uprightness of the country is clearly achieved by real swords and guns. If you take advantage of external forces, you will be underestimated.

In this case, the intruder is useless to Ying Yi. It is of no use at all, but a disaster. Driving him to Hebei, let's not say whether Mie Ming will follow the original direction of history. After all, in the original history, the intruders did not suffer in Kaifeng. Now that the power has been greatly damaged, if you rush to the north, you may not be able to easily defeat the capital.

Then the intruders came to the north and caused another disaster to the people in the north.

Kaifeng was still vivid in his mind, and Ying Yi was not willing to let the thieves go to Hebei again.

In Ying Yi's mind, Daming is worthy of admiration. Zhu Hongwu started from a young age, fought for the world with one sword and one spear, expelled the Tartars and restored China. His achievements were far greater than those of most emperors in the past. Although the Ming Dynasty today is decadent, this is inevitable for every feudal dynasty. There is nothing to criticize, but there is no doubt about the glory of the Ming Dynasty in its heyday.
