Chapter 399: Death of Du Hongyun

In Huya Gorge, there were piles of earth, which were temporary residences for the dead soldiers. Everyone stood in front of these piles, closed their eyes and mourned in silence. //?www.//

Shi Yan took out several jars of fine wine from the storage space, tore open the seals, let everyone take a turn to drink, and then everyone fell in front of the pile of earth.

"There's nothing I can do now, so I can only treat everyone to a jar of good wine." Shi Yan squatted in front of the mound and sighed softly, "Although we haven't spent much time together and even had some minor conflicts during that time, I already regard you as my brothers of Haotian. Brothers, let's drink together and pick up girls together. I can't help you find them. If there really is a hell, you can look for it down there by yourselves. My sweet soldiers are the best soldiers, and they need a beautiful woman to serve them even when they die."

As he spoke, his eyes became moist unconsciously. Shi Yan wiped them and shouted: "You are the best soldiers under my command, and you are my best brothers now and in the future. You will also send my brothers on their last journey."

Everyone came over and bowed in front of the mound. Some of these soldiers were ruffians, and some were newly joined imperial guards. But at this moment, there was no distinction between ruffians and imperial guards. They were all brothers.

"Bring Du Hongyun up," Shi Yan said calmly.

The barbarian came over with Du Hongyun, who was tied up like a dumpling, and threw him in front of the mound. Du Hongyun was dazed, and he only felt a mixture of the smell of earth, blood and alcohol. His stomach moved and he vomited. He didn't eat much last night, and after a night of torture, his stomach was already empty, and he vomited large mouthfuls of clear water.

Seeing him vomiting in front of his brothers' residence, Manzi was furious. He walked over and grabbed Du Hongyun's hair. Without saying a word, he slapped him twice and cursed: "Shut up, if you don't stop, I will beat you again!"

Du Hongyun was weak and opened his eyes to look at Shi Yan, begging: "Let me go, let me go."

Shi Yan looked at him calmly without saying anything. When Manzi heard his begging for mercy, he became even more furious, "Let you go? I tell you that at least you are still alive, but my brothers are dead. Did you let them go? They didn't even beg for mercy. They are men and don't need to beg for mercy? It's ridiculous. The commander-in-chief of the Tianlong Realm is not as good as our ragtag army. It's ridiculous."

Du Hongyun continued to beg Shi Yan, tears and snot streaming down his face. Is this still the young master of the Du family who was so high-spirited and ambitious?

Shi Yan sneered, "Can letting you go save our dead brothers? But I'll give you one chance. As long as the brothers behind me agree, I'll let you go." Behind Shi Yan, the surviving soldiers all glared at Du Hongyun, wishing they could skin him alive. How could they forgive him and agree to let him go?

"General, it would be useful for us to keep Du Hongyun," Shi Xingyuan said as he walked over.

Du Hongyun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly said: "Yes, that's right, I am still useful, just use me, you can get a lot of things with me around"

Shi Yan looked at him and asked, "Is it okay even if I use you to deal with your father?"

Du Hongyun was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind, "Okay, as long as you let me go, I will cooperate with you, and I will do whatever you want me to do."

Shi Yan laughed loudly, "Du Hongyun, ah Du Hongyun, I didn't expect you to be more cruel than your father. In order to survive, you actually sold your father out. If your father knew that he gave birth to such a bastard like you, he would probably vomit three liters of blood and die immediately."

A hint of sternness flashed across Du Hongyun's brows, but it quickly disappeared.

"Why should I believe you? Or how can you make me believe you?" Shi Yan approached, his eyes like two sharp swords, piercing people's hearts.

"My father. No, Du Tianmo is not a good person. He is a scoundrel. He relies on the support of old man Wenren to do evil things and cooperates with Qingtian. I have evidence. All the evidence is under the rockery in my backyard. I believe that with these things, His Majesty Huang Tian will be able to send troops to capture Du Tianmo." Du Hongyun thought for a while and said, "There are many transaction records between Du Tianmo and old man Wenren, and there is also a list of old man Wenren's lackeys and some dark forces. With the existence of these things, it may be easier for the third prince to deal with old man Wenrou."

Shi Yan frowned. He didn't expect to get so much information from him. It was really unexpected.

"How do you have these things?"

Seeing Shi Yan's expression relaxed, Du Hongyun was overjoyed and struck while the iron was hot, "These are all my father's. If I want to keep them for longer, I naturally have to make more plans for myself. These things are left here just in case the old man Wenren wants to take my Du family one day."

Shi Yan nodded with satisfaction, "In that case, then you can get on your way."

Du Hongyun was overjoyed, "Thank you, what for?"

"I meant to send you off," Shi Yan repeated with a cold snort.

Shi Xingyuan stepped forward and advised: "General, I think it would be more useful to keep him here."

Shi Yan waved his hands and said: "Of course I know that he is more useful alive than dead, but look, these densely packed piles of earth are all our brothers, and they were all killed by his father. Do you think I can let him continue to live? I am giving an explanation to all my brothers and his father. We will go and take his life ourselves. I believe that even without him, we can still take him down."

Seeing his determined look, Shi Xingyuan sighed and stopped talking.

"Manzi, this task is left to you." Shi Yan looked at Manzi, walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

The barbarian hesitated a little, "Really behead him? I think what the old man said is right."

When he said "behead", Yan didn't say much, just said "behead".

The barbarian nodded solemnly, "Okay, it's worth it to kill a brother like you, General."

Having said that, he ignored Du Hongyun's pleas for mercy, swung his hand, and slashed down with his heavy sword.

rustle.

Heads flew out and blood splattered on the graves of the dead soldiers.

The Dayu Dragon Boat slowly landed on the other side of Huya Gorge. The gate opened, and Mo Zixie accompanied the Third Prince down from the Dayu Dragon Boat.

Shi Yan rushed over and saw that the outer wall of the Dayu Dragon Boat was covered with claw marks, all of which were left by flying beasts. When they broke into the beast group last night, the ape beast turned to attack the Dayu Dragon Boat, and it was because of this that the Dayu Dragon Boat did not have time to provide support.

The third prince strode forward, gave Shi Yan a big hug, and said excitedly: "Brother Haotian, I'm so glad to see that you are okay."

Shi Yan was stunned. He always felt that the Third Prince had changed a little. Although he had always called him Brother Haotian before, it was just for the purpose of recruiting him. There was a slight gap between them. But now, he felt that the Third Prince's calling him Brother was more sincere, and the gap seemed to have disappeared.

When Shi Yan thought of this, he laughed and gave him a big hug. The two of them were as close as brothers.

"By the way, how did you get rid of that ape beast?" asked the barbarian curiously.

The third prince smiled and said, "This is all thanks to Master Mo and this Dayu Dragon Boat."

Mo Zixie stroked his long beard and smiled modestly: "No, no, it's all thanks to this Dayu Dragon Boat."

Under Shi Yan's surprised gaze, the Third Prince bowed deeply to Mo Zixie and said, "Old sir, you are too modest. If you hadn't risked your life to save me, I might not be here anymore."

"What's going on?" Everyone was confused.

It turned out that when they were counterattacking and the outer deck was deployed, a flying beast somehow broke through the heavy fire blockade and rushed in, aiming at the Third Prince. If Mo Zixie hadn't stood in front of him and repelled the flying beast regardless of his own safety, the Third Prince would have been caught by the flying beast and torn to pieces.

Mo Zixie smiled bitterly and said, "I designed this ship. If there is such a mistake, it should be my responsibility. Besides, you are a prince, so I will naturally protect you."

Hearing him say that he designed the ship, Li Tiancheng respected him even more.

"What are you going to do next?" asked the third prince at this time.

Shi Yan thought for a moment and said, "Let's counterattack now."

"Counterattack?"

Shi Yan nodded, "That's right, now that Qingtian's troops have revealed their whereabouts, we should seize the opportunity to catch them. Otherwise, if we let them go, it will be even more troublesome to catch them again."

"General Haotian is right." Shi Xingyuan said: "At this moment, they are alone deep in our Huangtian territory. If it were usual, we would not have to worry at all, and we only need to encircle and suppress them with the garrison troops from all walks of life. But now is the most dangerous time for our Huangtian territory. The two fronts have collapsed, and the troops of the entire Huangtian territory are basically pressed on the last front. The military strength is tight, leaving them with a huge space. If they escape, it will be like a fish in the sea. It will be troublesome to catch them again."

"Yes, that's what I mean. Besides, after last night, they are seriously injured. If we don't pursue them aggressively, it will be even more difficult to let them recover."

Mo Zixie nodded and said, "Yes, we killed all of the flying beasts of the Beast General. Without the flying beasts, we can completely suppress them by driving the Dayu Dragon Boat."

"By the way, how many poisonous scorpions are left?"

Shi Yan said: "When we were attacked by flying beasts last night, we collected all the poisonous scorpions, so not a single one was missing."

Mo Zixie nodded. "After the battle last night, we discovered many deficiencies in the poisonous scorpions. Fortunately, this batch is for trial use. We can take them all out to fight against the beast general's war beasts without any problems. The most important thing is that we can collect more data and modify the poisonous scorpions."

"In this way, if there are no major mistakes, we can win without losing a single soldier."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the Third Prince knew that he had to make a decision. "Brother Haotian, if you are okay, I can go back to Binhai Realm with peace of mind. And you are the new general of the Ruffian Army, I think you will lead the Ruffian Army to the top."

The meaning is very clear. From now on, all the arrangements of the ruffian army will be left to you.

That night, following clues, Daewoo Dragon Boat arrived ten miles away from the Qingtian troops’ base.
