Chapter 436 You Dare to Kill Me

The long sword pierced Huo Yang's body. He was in so much pain that he couldn't control himself. He couldn't control the madly running horse and was thrown off his back, falling heavily in the snow.

When Jiang Hao flew forward, he heard the sound of a broken bone. Huo Yang's face was distorted with pain, and he collapsed in the snow, unable to get up.

Huo Yang's leg was really broken this time.

Previously, in order to refuse the task of going to Xizhou to quell the rebellion, he pretended to fall off a horse and break his leg as soon as he left the palace. Now he really broke his leg.

It's also karma.

Jiang Hao dismounted and directly pulled out the long sword that had pierced Huo Yang's body. He kicked the man over and plunged the blood from the sword into Huo Yang's body. A cold arc appeared on the corner of his mouth. "You run fast. If you offend me, you will never escape even if you go to heaven or hell."

Huo Yang raised his hand to cover the wound that was bleeding, "You, you dare to kill me..."

"Why wouldn't I be afraid?" Jiang Hao said, "You're not a good person. You're a traitor who plotted to usurp the throne, slay the emperor, and murder his father. I killed you to clean up the court and stabilize the country. The King of Chang'an should count this as a great achievement of mine."

If Song Wan'er had not been detained in Prince Rui's Mansion, the sword that Jiang Hao had just thrown would not have only seriously injured Huo Yang, but would have taken his life.

Jiang Hao had to spare Huo Yang's life to ensure Song Wan'er's safety, lest the people in Prince Rui's Mansion do something desperate and foolish.

Huo Yang's guards were thrown into disarray when they saw their master being captured by Jiang Hao, and were quickly captured by the men Jiang Hao brought with him.

Jiang Hao lifted Huo Yang up from the ground and said, "Don't pretend to be dead, or I will make you go to see the King of Hell."

Huo Yang had nearly closed his eyes, but upon hearing Jiang Hao's words, he forced them open again, glaring at him angrily. "Do you think Huo Zheng would still dare to use someone like you? From today on, you'll only have a nominal position at best. It's far less promising than following me!"

Huo Yang really couldn't understand why Jiang Hao wanted to help Huo Zheng, since he could obviously give Jiang Hao much more than Huo Zheng could.

Although he sent people to capture Jiang Hao's wife and detained her in Prince Rui's Mansion, he did not treat his wife badly.

Huo Yang even thought that as long as Jiang Hao could stop Huo Zheng from attacking the city this time, he would use Jiang Hao in the future and treat him as his own.

As a result, Jiang Hao actually took the military command and opened the city to support the Xizhou army. He was simply crazy.

"You think too highly of yourself," Jiang Hao sneered. "If a loser like you becomes emperor, the Huo family's empire will be over."

"you!"

Huo Yang was almost irritated by Jiang Hao.

He wanted to say something else, but Jiang Hao didn't want to waste time talking. He directly ordered his subordinates who were walking towards him, "Tie him up."

"yes."

When everyone responded and tied up Huo Yang, they poured some golden medicine on his wound and wrapped it twice with white cloth.

Prince Rui cannot die yet, he is still useful.

When Jiang Hao led his men to capture King Rui, Huo Zheng had already arranged to take over the defense of Jiangyang City, captured all of King Rui's men, and was heading this way.

Jiang Hao led his men to escort Huo Yang to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, where they saw Prince Chang'an leading his men. He led his men to escort Huo Yang forward and said, "Huo Yang is here, and you can decide his fate."

Huo Zheng reined in his horse and stood, looking down at Huo Yang, who was covered in blood and unable to stand, and could only be dragged along. "Take him in."

Huo Yang was being looked down upon by Huo Zheng, and an unbearable pain welled up in his heart. He couldn't help but curse, "Huo Zheng, you claim to be a man of deep affection and loyalty, but for the throne you abandoned your wife and children, and the people of Xizhou! Your talk of loyalty and loyalty is all bullshit!"

Huo Zheng said, "Do you really think Suo Hongkai can lead the Northern Province Army to take over Western Province?"

Huo Yang was stunned when he heard this.

Why can’t we take it?

Why?

He roared in his heart!

Jiang He, who had come from Xizhou to Jiangyang City to report the news, rode forward and said, "Prince Rui, wake up! Stop dreaming."

Jiang He was a fast runner. After the Great Khan of Beili came with the Beili Wolf Cavalry to relieve the danger in Xizhou, the princess immediately sent him to Jiangyang City with people to report the news, and asked him to rush to the front line as quickly as possible to report safety to the prince.

This is to prevent the prince from falling into Huo Yang's trap and withdrawing his troops after hearing that Xizhou was besieged by the Beizhou army.

When Jiang He arrived at Jiangyang City, he happened to see the Xizhou army entering the city. He hurried to find the prince and reported to him in person that the danger of Xizhou City had been resolved, that the princess was brave and fearless, that the princess had unparalleled skills, that the young prince was intelligent, and that the people of Xizhou worked together to defend the city.

When Huo Zheng heard that Chunzhi and the others were not only fine but also managed to defend Xizhou City, he couldn't help but feel proud to have such a princess and such a sister.

Tuoba Ying did not take advantage of the situation and was a trustworthy person. It was worth it that Huo Zheng risked his life to help him quell the civil strife in Beili.

When everyone heard that Xizhou City had been defended, they were extremely relieved. They kept praising the princess and the king, and were proud of the unity of the people of Xizhou.

Originally, after the prince entered the city to deal with Prince Rui and his party, he was going to turn back immediately to save Xizhou. Now that Xizhou is safe, they don't have to turn back halfway and can continue to enter the capital to rectify the court order.

On the other hand, in Jiangyang City, Huo Yang didn't even dare to go out of the city to fight in person. He was almost injured by arrows while standing on the city wall. He didn't even dare to stand on the city wall. He handed the military command to his generals and left in a hurry.

Jiang He said, "Xizhou City is safe, the princess is safe, the prince is safe, and the people are doing well. On the contrary, Xizhou's commander, Suo Hongkai, died tragically. King Rui, you are useless, and your men are also useless."

"No, it's impossible—"

Huo Yang didn't want to believe that this was true. Beizhou and Beili were neighbors, and battles of varying sizes had often occurred there in the past. Suo Hongkai was not an incompetent person, so how could he fail to take over Xizhou, which had few troops left?

But Huo Yang was seriously injured, and for a moment he was so angry that a fishy and sweet taste rushed up his throat, and he suddenly couldn't say anything.

Jiang He, however, saw what Huo Yang was thinking, and without him having to ask, he spoke again, "The princess personally went up to the city wall and beat drums to cheer the soldiers on. They defended the city gate for three days and three nights. Princess Changning and the Great Chanyu of Beili led the Beili Wolf Riders and our soldiers who defended the city to attack the Beizhou army from both inside and outside. Those people you sent to attack Xizhou never set foot in Xizhou!"

When Huo Yang heard this, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Seeing this, Jiang He immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand to feel Huo Yang's breath. After a moment, he said with some regret: "He's not dead yet."

"Wake him up." Huo Zheng ordered in a deep voice, "I want him to tell me what he did."

"Yes." Jiang Hao did what he was best at and asked someone to bring a bucket of water to wake Huo Yang up.

Huo Yang, who had just fainted, was forcibly woken up by the pouring water. He opened his eyes and saw the person he least wanted to see. He wished he could faint again.

Jiang He said, "If he faints, just splash him again to wake him up. There's plenty of snow water anyway."

Huo Yang was filled with hatred when he heard this.

Huo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Drag him in and interrogate him carefully."
