Chapter 2688: White Dragon City, the End of the Situation
Song Zhiwen said, "You killed him."
He paused again, looked at Xue Huai'en, and said, "To be exact, was it really you who killed him?"
Xue Huai'en said: "Not bad."
He glanced at Li Bushang and said coldly, "You guessed right. I was the one who killed the Cheng family's patriarch. He had long known that we secretly disagreed with the surrender of the city, so he was completely defenseless against me and was secretly discussing the next move with me. And I took this opportunity to kill him with a single blow!"
“…”
"Qiu Ming went to see him, but all he saw was a corpse."
“…”
"However, no one noticed. He only needed to stay in there for a while, creating the illusion that the two of them were discussing something, and then leave without a trace. Then, he would just have to wait for the Cheng family patriarch's body to be discovered."
Song Zhiwen looked at them and said bitterly, "You, you really are scheming."
“…”
"But Uncle Cheng is on the same side as you. He is also an elder, an elder who has watched us grow up."
“…”
"How could you do that?"
When Cheng Ye was mentioned, a hint of guilt appeared on Murong Qiuming and Xue Huai'en's faces at this time.
Even when they took action and Murong Qiu Ming was guarding the cold corpse, he was not completely without guilt.
However, interests are interests. To them, the future and interests of the family are the most important things in this world. As for the lives of others, no matter how regrettable it is, they can be sacrificed at any time.
At this time, the Cheng family guards around were all furious.
They all shouted, "We want to avenge our patriarch!"
As they spoke, they all rushed over here, brandishing swords.
Li Bushang's eyes turned cold, and he immediately said, "Stop them!"
Tian Ye and his men reacted quickly, rushing forward and blocking the Cheng family's guards. The Murong family and the Xue family also joined them. The Cheng family's guards had just fought with them at the camp gate and were already exhausted. At this point, they were at the end of their rope.
He was stopped by these people.
Li Bushang said to them: "People need to be dealt with, but not now."
"We don't care!"
The Cheng family's guards were enraged and roared, "We want to avenge our master!"
As they spoke, they rushed forward with all their might. Although they were exhausted, they still burst out with amazing perseverance in their anger, and even Tian Ye and the others could not stop them.
Just when these people were about to kill him with knives raised, Li Bushang suddenly stood in front of them.
Originally, those people were furious and refused to admit or submit to anyone. However, when they saw Li Bushang blocking the way in front of them and met his cold, wolf-like eyes, the few people in the front couldn't help but stop.
The swords raised high were frozen in mid-air and could not be cut down.
They originally did not take this young Jinyiwei commander seriously. At one point, they even thought that he had assassinated the head of the Cheng family and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
However, everything that just happened made them realize in surprise that this person actually had such a meticulous mind and such cruel methods. This made them feel a little awe towards this person in their hearts.
Once you have awe for someone, you dare not indulge him.
What's more, by this time, the head of the Cheng family had died, and they could be said to be leaderless. As for the situation in Bailong City, the several families had been arguing endlessly and having different opinions on the issue of surrendering the city, but now, Murong Qiu Ming and Xue Huai En, to be precise, the Murong family and the Xue family, have been completely controlled by the Jinyiwei. The people of the Song family have always had a clear attitude.
The result of surrendering the city is self-evident.
Therefore, they unconsciously did not dare to act presumptuously in front of Li Bushang.
At this moment, Li Bushang looked at them coldly.
He only said: "The person has been caught here. Justice will be returned to your master sooner or later."
“…”
"But not now."
“…”
"A fair and just punishment, with redress for the injustice done, is what your deceased master truly wants to see and what he truly needs in the underworld. If you insist on killing someone, the Imperial Guard will definitely not sit idly by!"
After saying that, he waved his hand.
In addition to Tian Ye and his group, the Jinyiwei who had just escorted Xue Zhen back also rushed into the camp and surrounded it. One group of people even stepped forward and stood next to Li Bushang.
The Cheng family's guards were in a stalemate for a long time.
There was a "clang" sound, and the knife in a man's hand fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the people around also lowered their hands, and the swords in their hands fell to the ground one by one, which meant that they completely accepted the court's arrangements.
Seeing them like this, Li Bushang lowered his eyes.
He turned around and ordered the Jinyiwei, "Tie up Murong Qiuming and Xue Huai'en!"
Then, he added, "Generals on both sides, those who are unaware of the situation, do not act rashly. If anyone makes a mistake again, we will kill them all without mercy!"
Originally, only Murong Qiuming and Xue Huai'en knew about what they did, along with their close associates. The other guards were completely unaware of it and were at a loss as to what to do. When they heard Li Bushan's words, they all stepped aside, fearing that they would be implicated in this matter.
So, several Jinyiwei came forward, tied up those people neatly, and took them away.
Li Bushang turned around and looked at Song Zhiwen again.
He looked at the embarrassed backs of Murong Qiuming and Xue Huai'en as they were taken away, with pity in his eyes, but when he looked down at the letter in his hand, he was even more heartbroken.
Then he heard Li Bushang say, "Mr. Song."
Song Zhiwen looked up at him.
Li Bushang said, "The matter of surrendering the city will continue. We will continue to escort the young master to Handongwei. I have also written back to Handongwei, asking the emperor to send troops to Bailong City to report what has happened here and inform the clan leaders of your families."
“…”
Song Zhiwen looked at his cold wolf eyes that never showed any emotion.
In my heart, I sighed deeply.
Regardless of whether he agreed to surrender the city or not, he actually knew that at this point, Bailong City was doomed.
Li Bushang sent someone back to Handongwei to report the news and asked the Emperor of Yan to send people to Bailong City. It was not for the purpose of "reporting the news". In the final analysis, it was to send troops to take over directly to prevent the Murong family and other branches of the Xue family from causing trouble again.
Surrendering the city is a foregone conclusion.
Although he was happy to see it, he really didn't expect it to end in this way.
He thought for a moment, then looked up at Li Bushang and said, "There's one thing I don't understand."
