Chapter 1132 Yuan Cong's father and son are getting worse and worse
Under the attack of the Eighteen Ghost Riders, the killer quickly collapsed.
Although each of these core members has a life on their hands, the gap between them and the Eighteen Ghost Riders who crawled out of the pile of dead bodies is huge.
"Surrender! I surrender..."
"Spare your life! Spare your life!"
"Run, run quickly!"
Under great fear, some people dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender, while others fled in panic.
However, no matter who surrendered or fled, none of them escaped the killing of the Eighteen Ghost Riders.
Except for Lu Jian who needs further interrogation, there is no need for these people to be kept alive.
On the other side, the fierce battle between Lu Jian and You Yi was still going on.
Lu Jian is indeed very strong.
You Yi attacked repeatedly, but not only failed to take down Lu Jian, but also accidentally had his coat cut by Lu Jian.
Lu Jian originally thought that even if this knife could not take the man's life, it could at least seriously injure him, but the sound of metal clashing shattered his fantasy.
As Youyi's outer garment was torn, the chain mail he was wearing underneath was revealed.
Seeing that You Yi was no match for Lu Jian, You Jiu, who had been watching the show for a long time, finally couldn't hold back and quickly drew his sword and stepped forward to join the battle.
Even though Lu Jian was very powerful, he found it increasingly difficult to resist the combined attack of the two, and even the weapon in his hand was cut off.
Finally, Lu Jian was kicked to the ground by You Jiu. When Lu Jian wanted to get up, You Yi stepped forward and pressed his sword against his neck.
At the same time, You Jiu quickly drew his knife and skillfully cut Lu Jian's hand and foot tendons.
The skilled look made Ying Er and the people around him secretly amazed.
How many times must one have done this to acquire such a skillful technique!
Is this the Eighteenth Rider of Ghost?
"what……"
In severe pain, Lu Jian couldn't help but let out a shrill scream.
But as soon as Lu Jiang made a sound, You Yi stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth, leaving him with nothing but sobs in pain.
The skillful cooperation between the two once again made Ying Er and others amazed, and their eyes showed deep admiration.
The most mysterious troops under the prince are indeed extraordinary!
On the other side, the rest of the people also ended the battle completely.
None of the Eighteen Ghost Riders were killed, only a few new members who had just joined were slightly injured.
Fortunately, they were wearing chain mail under their clothes, so no vital parts were hurt.
Although the battle was over, the work of the Eighteen Ghost Riders was not yet done.
They quickly spread out and finished off every corpse on the ground, slitting their throats to ensure that no one was left alive.
After finishing off the killers, they began to search the corpses, taking away any valuables from the killers.
The new team members are still a little unfamiliar, but the old team members are extremely skilled.
They have been operating behind enemy lines for a long time and have developed a habit of doing so.
As long as the situation allows, they will search the corpses and use the money they get to exchange for supplies or do other things.
"I'll leave this person to you!"
You Jiu threw Lu Jian in front of Ying Er, "His Highness orders you to bring this man back to Jingyang Prefecture!"
"well……"
Ying Er came back to his senses and asked subconsciously: "Then...what about you guys?"
"We still have our mission!" You Jiu simply replied, and immediately waved to the team members: "Retreat!"
Following You Jiu's order, the Eighteen Ghost Riders retreated quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the Eighteen Ghost Riders completely disappeared into the dense forest.
Only after they disappeared did Ying San swallow hard and said in a trembling voice: "These people are really... too scary!"
"It's really terrible!"
Ying Er nodded slightly, the shock on his face not yet completely fading, and he said with emotion: "I used to think we were great, but compared to them, I suddenly feel like we are just trash..."
Listening to Ying Er's words, many people nodded.
Their eyes involuntarily turned to the direction where the Eighteen Ghost Riders disappeared.
……
Yizhou.
Yuan Cong and his son Yuan Gui led 9,000 troops to station in Yizhou prefecture to intimidate the powerful families and clans in Yizhou.
These past few days, Yuan Cong has been very nervous, yet vaguely excited.
He received a secret letter from a stranger saying that several clans in Dengzhou and Yuzhou would join forces with the Red Moon Sect to respond to Yun Zheng.
Although Yuan Cong did not see the person who delivered the letter, he still attached great importance to this secret letter.
It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist!
To this end, he even sent Yuan Gui to personally deliver the secret letter to the imperial city.
They had bad luck in their life. While other people were promoted to higher and higher positions, he was promoted to a lower and lower position, and the number of people under his command was also decreasing.
Now, he only commands 9,000 soldiers and horses.
If this continues, he is worried that he will be demoted to the rank of captain one day!
But now, they, father and son, have the opportunity to make meritorious service!
If the content of the secret letter is true, even if they don't lead troops to arrest him, just getting the news in advance is a great achievement!
At that time, the prince will promote him no matter what.
"Father! Father!"
Just when Yuan Cong was fantasizing about getting promoted, he heard Yuan Gui's excited shout.
Soon, Yuan Gui ran in like a whirlwind.
Looking at this useless son, Yuan Cong was furious. He stepped forward and kicked Yuan Gui, who was full of excitement, to the ground. He shouted angrily: "How many times have I said this? In the camp, there are no fathers and sons, only generals and subordinates!"
He was demoted, and Yuan Gui was naturally not much better off.
In the past, Yuan Gui was at least a cavalry captain, but now he is just a general of the Qu Army.
This rebellious son has suffered so much, but he still doesn't learn his lesson!
Still not calm at all!
Yuan Gui had just rushed back from the imperial city when he was beaten. He was extremely depressed.
Fortunately, Yuan Cong did not use his full strength in this kick. He just felt some pain in the chest, but no injuries to his muscles or bones.
Yuan Gui cursed inwardly, then hurriedly got up and admitted his fault, "I admit my guilt!"
Yuan Cong glared at his son unhappily, then asked expectantly, "What did the prince say?"
"The prince's order!"
Yuan Gui's face showed excitement again. "The prince ordered the general to mobilize the troops of Dengzhou to arrest the people of the two families in Dengzhou and interrogate them strictly! The traitor in Yuzhou will be arrested by Wu Du..."
Yuan Gui spoke excitedly as he handed the prince's handwritten letter to his father.
They are in Yizhou.
There are also troops stationed in Dengzhou.
He originally thought that it was not their turn to arrest those aristocratic families and clans who intended to rebel.
Unexpectedly, the prince would actually order his father to mobilize the Dengzhou army and give them this opportunity!
If this is true, then it would be equivalent to giving them credit!
Yuan Cong was overjoyed and quickly took the prince's order and examined it carefully.
The prince's handwritten note was similar to what Yuan Gui said, but it was more detailed.
The prince asked him to arrest the people from those two families, but only to interrogate them.
Without solid evidence, no one from either family should be moved without authorization.
After reading the imperial edict, Yuan Cong almost shouted to the sky with excitement.
opportunity!
I finally got the chance!
This time, I must perform well!
