Chapter 506: Death
Li Xian shook his head, wiped off the sweat, clenched his teeth, and tried to stand up again with the help of his sword, but knelt back in vain.
The unprecedented pain made him vaguely aware of something unusual. He subconsciously looked at Allan beside him, only to see Allan staggering forward and kneeling down towards the green figure.
Li Xian's thoughts were interrupted for a moment - this idiot wanted to ask Chang Suining for mercy? Wild idea!
The next moment, Arlan kowtowed and begged, "Please give me a little more time, Envoy Chang..."
Li Xian's expression froze, and he stared at the kneeling blue figure.
Chang Suining also looked at Allan and asked calmly, "Since you returned safely, why didn't you kill him?"
If Allan had taken action earlier, Li Xian might not even be able to make the little splash he is now.
"I didn't find an opportunity when I was in the army..." As Allan spoke, he turned his head slightly to look at Li Xian, and there was no trace of humility and obedience in his eyes: "As for when we were on the way, I didn't want him to die too easily..."
"...It turned out that you were the one who poisoned me!" Li Xian was furious: "How dare you, you bitch, lie to me!"
If he had not been injured on the way and had no other choice, he would not have trusted this bitch so easily! "Lie?" Allan turned around and looked at Li Xian steadily: "Didn't the general lie to me as well?"
This is the fifth day since she left Mianyang Prefecture.
During these five days, she constantly re-examined her previous cognition...and the terrifying thing was that the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was naive and stupid before.
Hearing this, Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and then a smile that was hideous and painful suddenly appeared on his bleeding lips: "So you know..."
This was tantamount to an admission. Allan no longer had any hesitation in her heart. She suddenly became excited: "It was you who massacred my people back then!"
"They deserve to die." In this desperate situation, there was no need to cover up. Li Xian said word by word: "My father was infected with miasma at that time. I asked people to ask your father to treat him many times... He was the first to watch him die without saving him!"
Arlan felt it was ridiculous and angry: "My Wang tribe was under the jurisdiction of Nanzhao State, and the two countries were at war at that time... How could my father, as the chief of the Wang tribe, come forward to rescue the enemy's commander!"
The other party actually hated her father because of this? So they slaughtered her entire family! "Yes, you also said that it was a war between two countries..." Li Xian gritted his teeth, with a relieved smile in his eyes: "Since you have lost the war, whether you live or die is naturally up to me!"
He was suffering from bone-gnawing pain at the moment, so he tried to see an even more painful expression on Allan's face, so he said in detail: "I didn't want to kill your entire family at that time, I just wanted your father to kneel down and apologize to me..."
At that time, the war with Nanzhao was nearing its end. A remnant of the Nanzhao army was defeated and fled. When Cui Jing led his troops in pursuit, they approached the Lookout and ordered their men to surround the area and search for the whereabouts of the defeated army.
After finding out that Wang's tribe did not harbor the remnants of the army, Cui Jing did not make things difficult for them. He only ordered his troops to temporarily guard and monitor Wang's tribe, while he continued to lead his troops forward to pursue the remnants of the Nanzhao army.
And the person in charge of the rear at that time happened to be Li Xian.
After Li Xian led his troops to surround the Wang tribe, he wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate and kill the chief of the Wang tribe to vent his hatred, but this move caused the Wang tribe members to resist in an intolerable way, and Li Xian was also angered.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Li Xian knew that the Wang tribe members were good at using poison, so he asked the soldiers to threaten the women and children in the tribe.
"When those people saw their wives and children being held hostage, they lost most of their will to resist, so I took the opportunity to have them all shot to death..." Li Xian stared closely at Allan's reaction and said word by word: "Of course, I still wiped out the roots in the end... I vaguely remember that although your brother was young, he was also a very tough guy. I broke both of his arms, but he still wanted to poison me."
Allan couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes seemed to be burning with flames of hatred as he stared at Li Xian.
Li Xian looked like he was reminiscing about the past, with a sense of reminiscing about past glory.
That was his first time to kill so many people outside of a battlefield. He didn't have the courage to do it at first, and it was just an impulsive act after being provoked...
At that time, he was leading his father's old subordinates, and Cui Jing had no right to deal with him. However, Cui Jing and Chang Kuo still restricted his use of troops and reported the matter to the capital.
At that time, he was angry and a little uneasy, but his aunt did not punish him. All he received from the capital were a few words of reprimand.
It was from that time that he suddenly seemed to understand for the first time the bottom line of his aunt's actions...Looking back now, some of the seeds were planted at that time.
At this moment, seeing Allan in pain, Li Xian leaned his head closer to her and whispered, "By the way, there's also your mother... You went back to see her, right? You must have seen everything with your own eyes, right?"
"Enough!" Allan trembled, tears streaming down his face, and interrupted Li Xian with a sharp voice.
Li Xian was very satisfied with her reaction, and seemed to feel that the pain in his body had eased a lot.
After a moment, Allan seemed unable to bear the great pain and started laughing. She laughed louder and louder and fell back to the ground. Her laughter was mixed with tears and she looked a little crazy.
Seeing her staring at him while laughing, Li Xian found it more and more irritating. He leaned forward and suddenly stretched out a hand to strangle Allan's neck: "...What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at the Duke of Korea, Li Xian. He is in even more pain and misery than the people of my Wang tribe who were massacred." Allan was still laughing: "How could the Duke of Korea, who always thought highly of himself, end up in such a pitiful situation?"
"Bitch..." Li Xian gritted his teeth, wishing he could strangle her to death, but he couldn't exert any strength in his hands.
Seeing his incompetence, Arlan's laughter became even more pleasing to the ear: "This poison is very painful, right? That's how it should be. I want you to die a hundred times more painfully than the people of my Wang tribe and the people of Yuezhou..."
"You are not worthy of mentioning the people of Yuezhou!" Li Xian gritted his teeth and forced out a strange laugh: "Aren't the people of Yuezhou also blessed by you? You bitch, why are you pretending to be noble in front of me now!"
"Yes, I deserve to die too." Allan looked up at him and said with a smile, "So you should bear my pain as well!"
She did take the pill, but she had sensed Li Xian's suspicion in the camp, so she swallowed the antidote in advance.
Li Xian cursed again, and tried his best to lift the knife, and was about to force the blade towards Allan.
But the next moment, a big foot came and kicked him to the ground. When he tried to hold up his upper body, the sharp tip of the knife was already against his chest.
Shepherd's Purse held a knife and looked down at him with contempt.
"...You can't kill me!" Li Xian moved back with difficulty, but every inch he retreated, Shepherd's Purse's knife followed another inch, until he was forced to the end of the alley, with no way to retreat.
He stared at Chang Suining and said in a warning tone: "I am Li Xian, the Duke of Han, and the commander of an army appointed by the saint... You don't have an imperial edict in your hand, so you have no right to arbitrarily charge me with a crime and take my life!"
Shepherd's Purse was as if he had heard a great joke: "You are kidding me, you caused the plague first, and then led the army to rebel. Let alone my master, even if a wild boar in the forest killed you, you can still be promoted to an official position!"
When Shepherd's Purse was about to follow orders, he heard his master say, "He is right."
Shepherd's Purse turned around and looked at her master, only to see him nodding his head and saying, "I don't have an imperial edict in my hand, so I can't just kill him casually."
"Then let's wait for the imperial envoy to come." Chang Suining said, and then added: "Before that, just hang him on the tower of Yuezhou."
Li Xian's expression changed, and when he was about to curse, he heard the girl in green turned around and walked out of the alley, saying, "If Duke Hanguo doesn't live up to his expectations and dies before the imperial envoy arrives, then it will have nothing to do with me, Chang."
Ignoring Li Xian's yelling and cursing, Chang Suining said as he passed by Yuan Wenshi: "Remember to spread the word and make Li Xian's crimes known to the public."
Yuan Wenshi responded, and She Cai had already dragged Li Xian out and quickly hung him up on the city wall.
When Xiao Min and his men arrived, they saw Sister Shepherd's Purse and her men busy with the matter on the city wall. Xiao Min breathed a sigh of relief and hurried into the city to see Chang Suining: "…It was Xiao's incompetence that allowed Li Xian to escape to Yuezhou."
Chang Suining only asked: "Is there any major unrest in the army?"
"To reply to the envoy Chang Jie, there is none." General Xiao Min explained: "Those rebel generals who were beheaded were all those who harbored rebellious intentions. It is not a bad idea to take this opportunity to eliminate them."
Chang Suining nodded: "That's good, General Xiao has handled it very well."
Fang Ting, who was pale, was relieved after hearing this conversation. He then said belatedly, "It turns out that Duke Han really did intend to rebel..."
Chang Suining looked at him with a smile: "Could it be that Minister Fang just thought that I was fabricating charges against Li Xian and that I was going to rebel?"
Hearing the word "rebellion" so naturally, Fang Ting's heart was pounding, but he quickly forced a smile on his face: "Envoy Chang Jie is really humorous..."
After scaring Minister Fang, Chang Suining looked towards the direction of Yuezhou City Tower and said, "That's good. Let him leave his life here. It can be regarded as an explanation to the people of Yuezhou."
It was already dark, but many people had gathered in front of the Yuezhou city wall, and the sounds of crying and cursing could be heard everywhere.
Li Xian, who was accused of his crimes, was hung by his hands on the city wall. He almost fainted several times, but the piercing pain in his body forced him to stay awake.
The next day, as the news spread, some of the people who had been treated outside Mianzhou also rushed over.
Xiaoao threw a ball of stinking mud on Li Xian's face and cursed him fiercely: "Bad guy! You deserve it!"
Then more people followed suit, and more and more dirty things mixed with curses were thrown at the culprit hanging above the city wall.
Another child found a slingshot and shot at Li Xian.
Li Xian's vision had long been blurred. In a trance, he felt as if he had returned to his childhood at the Luoyang Flower Fair, when he was humiliated by the sons of Luoyang's gentry... From then on, he vowed to become a superior person, trample those who bullied him under his feet, and never be humiliated again in his life.
Afterwards, it seemed as if the heavens had heard the roar in his heart, and his cousin Li Xiao actually became the crown prince step by step, and his aunt first ascended to the throne, and then became the ruler of the world... At the same time, his opportunity also came.
He should have continued to move forward... instead of being trampled into the mud again!
Li Xian raised his head with difficulty and looked up at the dazzling sky. His eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment, as if he was cursing the injustice of God.
The summer heat burned him so much that he almost lost consciousness. He hoped for rain, but the sun was always high in the sky, and not even a breeze was willing to come near him.
He endured countless curses and curses about the afterlife, and this unimaginable torment until the sun set. The burning sensation finally dissipated, but the pain was still there, and because his wounds were rotting and his body was full of filth, many mosquitoes and insects surrounded him. He even slowly realized that tiny maggots began to crawl on his exposed skin.
At this point, Li Xian finally began to collapse, and a low roar came from his throat.
At this moment, he suddenly heard laughter coming from the city wall on one side.
The owner of the laughter sighed, "How pitiful."
Li Xian used his last bit of strength to turn his head and look, but all he saw was a ball of blue in the hazy night.
Allan sat on the edge of the city wall and began to sing Nanzhao songs with a smile.
Li Xian felt that the song was only increasing his pain and mocking his situation. He growled weakly, "Stop singing..."
"That's enough. I told you... to stop singing!"
Allan ignored his words and sang the tune of his hometown tirelessly, his eyes always looking towards the direction of Nanzhao.
Until the eastern sky turned slightly white, Li Xian's consciousness began to blur. Suddenly, he saw a ray of blue falling like a kite in the dawn in the peripheral light.
With a sound of falling, he saw Allan falling right below the city wall.
She chose to fall on her back, so her face was facing upwards, just looking at Li Xian.
She still had a crazy and weird smile on her face, her dress and hair were spread out, blood began to flow from the corners of her bloody mouth, and her body was twitching slightly.
Until she stopped breathing, she still kept her eyes open and "looked" at Li Xian with a smile.
Li Xian's consciousness had begun to become confused. This scene suddenly made him feel terrified. The maggots wriggling and devouring his flesh and blood gave him an illusion. He felt that Allan was lying on top of him, and her laughter and singing were still in his ears, refusing to let him go.
Soon, Li Xian felt that he was surrounded by more and more "things", including soldiers who died unjustly, tribesmen from the Hope Department, and people from Yuezhou. Those undead spirits entangled him, bit him, making him bleed all over, and then drilled into his internal organs, tearing him into countless smelly pieces, and then fell into the mud.
He began to roar and cry with fear, and in extreme agony, he bit off his tongue in an attempt to end it all. Blood flowed down his jaw, soaked his clothes, and dripped onto the Yuezhou land beneath his feet.
On the fourth day, Li Xian's body began to emit a strong stench of decay, and he finally lost his breath in the stench, which was gnawed by fear until only the last breath remained.
At this moment, the heavy rain he had been waiting for finally fell generously.
