Chapter 217: Comeback
After a quick check of the troops, the gate of Yangming Town was opened!
Liang Jingyao rode out on a warhorse, followed by the Cheetah Army, whose numbers had increased.
"Dong dong dong!" The sound of war horses marching in unison came from far away and appeared in front of the left prime minister.
The left prime minister sneered, "Liang Jingyao, how are you?"
Liang Jingyao didn't look at him in a good mood and replied, "Left Prime Minister, there's no need to be so hypocritical and polite to me! Retreat, you can't defeat me!"
The left prime minister seemed to have heard a joke!
He patted his chest and said, "Do you know who I am now?"
Liang Jingyao looked at Zuo Xiang in confusion and asked, "Aren't you Zuo Xiang? Who else could it be?"
The Left Prime Minister said with satisfaction, "The Emperor has bestowed upon me the title of King of Loyalty and Bravery, and has also bestowed upon me your Prince Rong's Palace! Tell me, who am I now?"
Liang Jingyao clenched his fists. He had never imagined the Emperor Liang could be so shameless! Prince Rong's Mansion was a gift from the late Emperor to his father. It was the largest and most luxurious mansion in the entire capital! How could the Emperor Liang give it away so easily? This was outrageous!
"The late emperor and my father are brothers. The late emperor hoped that my father would have many sons and grandsons in the future, so he gave the largest mansion in the capital to my father. If you are not afraid that the late emperor will come to question you in the middle of the night, you can move in! I think the late emperor must have a lot to talk to you!" Liang Jingyao said angrily.
The Left Prime Minister felt a chill run down his spine and shouted, "Bullshit! I don't believe your nonsense! I'm the master of Prince Rong's mansion now, and all you can do is stare at me!"
Liang Jingyao looked at the Left Prime Minister coldly, as if he were looking at a dead man. He drew his sword and shouted, "Everyone, listen to my order! Take the Left Prime Minister's head and kill him without mercy!"
The Cheetah Army drew their swords and charged towards the Iron Cavalry Army. "Ah! Kill!"
Zuo Xiang was suddenly panicked. He had no martial arts skills at all, and he didn't expect Liang Jingyao to start killing as soon as he said so!
"Protect me, everyone! Protect me first!" He quickly turned around and found a place to hide.
The Iron Cavalry were so busy fighting that they couldn't get away, and besides, they had no feelings towards the Left Prime Minister, so they ignored him and let him scream and shout!
Liang Jingyao seized the opportunity and chased after him on horseback, "Left Prime Minister, don't even think about escaping! Today is the day you die!"
The Left Prime Minister was so frightened that he didn't even dare to turn his head. He even began to regret leading the troops to the battle. This was really not a job for a human being. If a real fighting broke out, who would care about him?
He kept whipping the horse, which felt pain and almost jumped up. Fortunately, Zuo Xiang held the reins tightly, otherwise the horse would have probably fallen off the horse!
Then he would be the first left prime minister in history to be killed by General Ma!
The Left Prime Minister turned around and cursed unwillingly, "Liang Jingyao, why are you chasing me? If you kill me, you think you can return to the capital? Humph, the emperor is definitely not the only one in the capital who wants your life. Who made your Prince Rong's Mansion such an eyesore!"
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Left Prime Minister, Liang Jingyao carefully stood up on his horse, then leaped up and sat directly behind the Left Prime Minister. "Really? Then I'll kill you first. You're dreaming about living in my Prince Rong's mansion!"
The sharp sword pierced through Zuo Xiang's back and directly penetrated his chest, and blood gushed out like a broken dam.
Zuo Xiang tried to cover his chest in disbelief, but before he could raise his hand, he was already dead.
Liang Jingyao drew his sword and swung it back, and a bloody head fell into his hand.
"Your left prime minister is dead. Either surrender or get out!" Liang Jingyao shouted loudly.
When the Iron Cavalry saw the head in Liang Jingyao's hand, they were undecided and looked at Brigadier General Yuan Jiancheng.
A gleam flashed in Yuan Jiancheng's eyes, and he raised his hand and shouted, "Everyone, listen up! Retreat!"
The Iron Cavalry immediately followed Yuan Jiancheng away, but they did not forget to take away Zuo Xiang's body when they left.
Liang Jingyao proudly carried the head of the Left Prime Minister back to Yangming Town. The Cheetah Army surrounded him and shouted loudly: "Mighty! Mighty!"
Liang Jingyao threw the head of the Left Prime Minister to the dusty Zhan Hu and said, "Hang it on the city wall and let those people see what happens if they go against me, Liang Jingyao!"
Zhan Hu excitedly took it and said, "Okay, I'll go right away!"
Liang Jingyao wanted to return to the valley to deliver the good news. He pulled Chen Hu aside and warned him, "I have to go back and deliver the good news to the Queen Mother. Perhaps she'll get better faster after hearing it! You're here, so don't let your guard down like you did before! We were able to win this time because the Iron Cavalry were led by the Duke of Zhenguo, not the Left Prime Minister. They were so insubordinate that I was able to kill the Left Prime Minister so easily. But who will come next? I don't know! Do you understand?"
Chen Hu responded loudly, "Understood! I will definitely guard the city gates. I won't let even a fly get away!"
Liang Jingyao said with satisfaction: "Very good! And there's that house on the tower that's still burning. Send someone up there to put out the fire! If it's not put out, the house will collapse and you'll all be in danger!"
Chen Hu nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, don't worry, Master! I will do it immediately!"
In the bamboo courtyard in the valley, it was after lunch. Lin Xiaoyue pulled Chen Yunyun to prepare to grind beans. Although Lin Xiaoyue disliked the Queen Mother, she didn't want to waste the beans since they had been soaked.
"Yunyun, I'll scoop out the soybeans, and you go clean up the stone mill outside." Lin Xiaoyue rolled up her sleeves and began to scoop out the soybeans soaked in water.
"Okay, I'll go wipe it right away." Chen Yunyun took a rag and a broom and walked out. After taking two steps, she saw Liang Jingyao enter the yard. She quickly ran back to the kitchen and said, "Sister Lin, Brother Liang is back! There's so much blood on him!"
Lin Xiaoyue wiped her hands and ran out in a hurry, and sure enough, she saw Liang Jingyao covered in blood.
"Brother Liang, are you really back? I thought Yunyun was lying to me. Why are you covered in so much blood? Are you injured? Let me take you to see my dad!"
Liang Jingyao grabbed Lin Xiaoyue's hand and stopped her, saying, "Don't go. I'm fine! The blood on my body belongs to Zuo Xiang. I cut off his head and it's hanging on the city wall! It's a pity you didn't see it."
Lin Xiaoyue said in surprise: "What? You beat them back so quickly? And killed Zuo Xiang? You are really amazing! What do you want to eat? I will make it for you!"
Liang Jingyao really thought about it carefully and said, "I want to eat the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that you make."
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said, "That's easy. I'll make it for you tonight."
Liang Jingyao said with a smile: "Okay, I'll come over during dinner. Can we do it here? If not, we can do it another day!"
Lin Xiaoyue counted the ingredients in her mind. Most of them were available in the kitchen, and the ones that were not available were also available in her own space, so there was no problem making Buddhist noodles here.
She nodded and said, "Sure, I brought a lot of ingredients, so I can satisfy whatever you want to eat."
At this moment, Princess Mingzhu came out and interrupted their conversation, "Jingyao, your mother invites you in."
