When Xiao Lingzi was fighting with the men in black, four or five men in black appeared from nowhere. They surrounded the unarmed Xiao Lingzi and looked at him fiercely, as if they were determined to tear him into pieces.
Looking at these strangers, Xiao Lingzi's eyebrows and eyes showed a bit of gloom. He snorted coldly and asked loudly:
"Who are you? Anyone who dares to touch Prince Yu's mansion must be tired of living."
"Hahaha!"
As soon as Xiao Lingzi finished speaking, one of them started laughing wildly, and then replied with disdain:
"We know you're from Prince Yu's Mansion, so we want to kill you, General Ling. Today is the day you die. If you know what's good for you, surrender quickly. We brothers might be able to leave you with an intact body. Otherwise, you'll die without a burial place."
The other party's arrogant attitude made Xiao Lingzi instantly furious.
He narrowed his eyes alertly and shouted angrily:
"You are just a bunch of lunatics who only dare to do things with their faces covered. Stop talking nonsense and come on!"
As he spoke, Xiao Lingzi clenched his fists and glanced at Huaiyu who was still unconscious on the horse. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, that is, even if it cost him his life, he had to bring Huaiyu back to Prince Yu's Mansion.
Seeing this, the men in black rushed forward without saying a word.
Even though Xiao Lingzi possessed special skills, he was no match for the opponent's superior numbers. In addition, he had no weapons in his hands, so after a few rounds, he was somewhat overwhelmed.
Just as he was about to grab the sword from one of them, a muffled sound suddenly came from behind him, and then he felt a numbness in his body.
He stared with horrified eyes, not having time to look back. The other party had already pulled out the long sword that had pierced his body. Then, he struck again. The blood spurted from the tip of the sword, staining his clothes red...
His eyelids blinked weakly, bright red blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. He heard the sound of wind blowing past his ears, as if his son, who had just learned to speak, was calling out "Dad"...
General Ling of the Great Ning Kingdom, Leng Yu's most capable general, was ambushed and fell in a pool of blood.
Looking at Xiao Lingzi lying on the ground, one of them was about to pick up his sword and go forward to hit him a few more times, but was stopped by Yang Feng, whose face was covered with a black cloth.
"He was a general after all, and he had made great contributions to the Daning Kingdom. This time, he will undoubtedly die. Please do not harm his body anymore. Let him go with dignity!"
No matter what, he knew Xiao Lingzi. Although he did not kill him personally, he was directly related to him.
He couldn't bear to see him, who had already died, being humiliated again.
A look of pity flashed in his eyes, and then he muttered to himself:
"The man is dead, your mission is complete, go!"
The man in black frowned upon hearing this, quickly retracted his sword, and shouted to the others:
"Walk……"
At his command, the group of men in black who had just appeared from nowhere quickly left the place at lightning speed and disappeared without a trace in a short while.
The man in black who stayed behind was Yang Feng. He looked at Xiao Lingzi lying on the ground, covered in blood, and clenched the sword in his hand with cruel force. He gritted his teeth in hatred, turned around, walked to the horse, carried Huaiyu off the horse's back, threw it directly next to him, then jumped on the horse and rode away.
Perhaps because of the impact on his head, Huaiyu regained consciousness after a while. He covered his head with his hands and sat up from the ground.
When he saw Xiao Lingzi covered in blood, he was stunned and covered his mouth, looking at him in horror.
He bit his lips tightly and called out softly, "Uncle Ling..."
"Uncle Ling, you can't die, Uncle Ling..."
At this moment, he thought of the scenes when Uncle Ling took him to play and practice martial arts when he was a child. He suddenly felt very scared. He was afraid that Uncle Ling would die like this.
"Uncle Ling..."
He kept shouting. At this moment, he felt a little regretful. He regretted that he shouldn't have harmed Uncle Ling. As for his desire for revenge, he was innocent and he shouldn't have paid with his life for it.
Uncle Ling's child was only three years old, but now because of him, another child had lost his father. He felt that he was an unforgivable person and that he deserved to die.
Just as he was blankly thinking about this, Leng Yu and others who got the news came on horseback.
When he saw Xiao Lingzi lying on the ground with blood all over his body, he immediately shouted to the sky.
"My brother..."
His cries of grief resounded through the sky. Only those who knew the truth understood that he could not believe what he saw with his own eyes, and he also could not believe that his brother had died in this way.
The little twins, Zhang Yuan and others who came with him also shed tears when they saw this scene.
The little twins gnashed their teeth and shouted angrily:
"Who is it? Who harmed Brother Ling? Get out here, or I'll kill you."
He vented his anger with all his might until the sound echoed in the nearby mountains and forests.
Huaiyu stood there with her hands hanging, feeling somewhat timid and guilty, wiping her tears and biting her lips tightly.
At this time, Leng Yu suddenly asked:
"Huaiyu, what's going on?"
Hearing Leng Yu calling his name, Huaiyu subconsciously shrank back, then shook his head vigorously.
"I... I don't know either. Someone pulled me onto a horse and knocked me unconscious. When I woke up, I saw Uncle Ling lying here."
Leng Yu panted heavily and shouted angrily to the people around him:
"Search within a ten-mile radius. If you find anyone suspicious, kill them without mercy."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhang Yuan waved to the people around him and left quickly with them.
Little Shuangzi knelt in front of Xiao Lingzi, touched his face with his hands, and murmured in sorrow with a trembling voice,
"Brother Ling, we were still joking around this morning. It's only been less than a few hours, and you... why did you leave? Brother Ling, you said we would watch the prince ascend the throne together, and that we would get drunk on that day to make up for all the hardship we've endured over the years."
The little twins' words made Leng Yu unable to hold back her tears any longer.
He covered his face with one hand, recalling the scene when Xiao Lingzi first came back from Ningguta, and recalling the little things he and Xiao Lingzi had experienced together over the years, and tears suddenly flowed from his eyes.
The little twin raised his hands and helped him straighten his collar, muttering,
"Brother Ling, how could you bear to abandon our brothers? Your son is only three years old and he just started calling me dad. Why did you leave?"
At this moment, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed:
"Your Highness, Brother Ling is still breathing, Brother Ling is still breathing..."
Hearing this, Leng Yu looked at Little Twins as if he didn't understand, then put his hand on his neck. When he felt his weak pulse still beating, he suddenly said to Little Twins in surprise:
"Quick, take him back to Prince Yu's Mansion and inform the princess. Perhaps he can still be saved."
