    "What a courage Wu Heng, the fourth-generation commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army!"

    In the lobby of the inner city guard in Guangling City, Xie An narrowed his eyes and said the above words with murderous intent on his face.

    Actually, when Xie An persuaded Liu Qing just now, he was a little anxious.  Because in Xie An's view, although many of his generals such as Fei Guo, Ma Dan, Liao Li, and Cheng Yang had almost suppressed the resistance forces in the city, this did not mean that Wu Heng had no chance to escape Guangling.

    In fact, when he learned from the generals¡¯ reports that Wu Heng had not shown up for about half an hour, Xie Anxin was already beginning to feel regret, lamenting that Wu Heng might have run away again this time.

    Of course, regrets are regrets, and you still have to fight for what you should fight for.  Therefore, Xie An immediately ordered the cavalry in the hands of Fei Guo, Ma Dan, and Cheng Yang to go out of the city to pursue Wu Heng. At the same time, he also ordered Liao Li, Ou Peng, Tang Hao, Zhang Dong and other generals to search for traces of Wu Heng throughout the city.

    ¡°After all, in Xie An¡¯s view, Wu Heng was a cunning and insidious person, and he would not fail to understand that the most dangerous place may also be the safest place. In other words, it is not impossible for him to hide in the city.

    Unexpectedly, Wu Heng's approach was more thorough and straightforward than Xie An thought. So when Xie An and Liu Qing came to the city guard's mansion, they were shocked to see Wu Heng and Liu Yan sitting opposite each other drinking.  Be as calm as possible.

    This makes Xie An, who had just searched the city for traces of Wu Heng, look like a fool.

    And Wu Heng obviously noticed the arrival of Xie An and others. He glanced at them and his expression remained calm as usual.  Only when his eyes were focused on Liu Qing, who was full of hatred for him, did Wu Heng's eyes appear slightly strange, and he seemed to be shying away from him.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Highness the Wise King!" Liu Yan took the initiative to stand up and bowed to Xie An and the Eight Wise King Li Xian, without any consciousness of being imprisoned.

    Seeing Liu Yan taking the initiative to greet him, the expression on Xie An's face softened a lot.  Firstly, Liu Yan once used the pseudonym Mo Yan to serve as his bodyguard for Xie An, and the relationship between the two was not bad.  It's quite a conversation; secondly, Liu Yan is just a puppet in Wu Heng's hands who can't help himself. Neither Xie An nor Li Xian will embarrass him too much.

    "Mo Yan, as one of our guards, slipped away halfway. Don't expect me to pay your monthly salary as usual!"

    Liu Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this, then nodded and chuckled, "That's right, that's right. I just left my post without permission, so naturally it's not easy to force my salary" As he said that, he glanced at the still sitting person inadvertently.  Wu Heng immediately showed a hint of hesitation on his face, as if he was thinking about whether he should leave at this moment.  You should still stay here.

    Seeing this, Li Xian took a step forward and said with a smile, "I can't believe that Brother Liu Yan, the famous Red Mansion Scholar in Guangling City, is so young. Xiao Wang thought he was at least a bit older than Xiao Wang.   Xiao Wang has also been admiring Brother Liu Yan¡¯s wonderful words for a long time. Come, come, let¡¯s talk in detail in the side hall!¡±

    have to say.  Li Xian is indeed very good at winning people's hearts, just like he is rescuing Liu Yan from the siege right now, he is doing it like a spring rain that moistens things without leaving any trace.

    However, Liu Yan's expression was a little embarrassed, although he also understood that Li Xian was taking the initiative to help him out, so that he could temporarily leave this embarrassing situation.  However, Liu Yan still blushed slightly when he saw Li Xian talking about the poems he had written.  After all, those so-called wonderful words were just poems he used to please and praise the women in the brothel and win their favor.  Where is the thing that can reach the level of elegance?

    In Liu Yan's view, perhaps Li Xian did have something to discuss and discuss with him, but it was definitely not just some poems as Li Xian said, but a much more important matter that related to whether Jiangnan could be stable in the future.  .

    Facts have proved that Liu Yan's guess was not bad at all. After all, he was just a puppet in Wu Heng's hands. Xie An and Li Xian also knew this very well, so how could they embarrass him too much.  On the contrary, in order to stabilize the situation in Jiangnan, Li Xian also wanted to win over the only crown prince of the old Southern Tang Dynasty, so as not to arouse the anger of the people in Jiangnan again.

    "Thank you, Sir. Xiao Wang and His Highness Liu Yan have hit it off, and they would like to choose a quiet place to discuss their literary talents, so I won't bother you here" Li Xian said with a smile as he cupped his hands towards Xie An.

    Hearing this, Xie An understood what he said, and he also cupped his hands towards Li Xian and Liu Yan, smiled and said, "You two, please help yourself!"

    "Excuse me, excuse me" After saying a few words lightly, Liu Yan followed Li Xian and left the hall. He didn't know where he went. The only people left in the hall, except Xie An and Liu Qing, were Dian Ying and E Yi.  Wait for the generals to gather two hundred soldiers.

    With the corner of his eye, he quietly watched Liu Yan go away. Wu Heng's expression did not change at all, because he was sure that with Li Xian and Xie An's vision,?It is absolutely impossible to harm Liu Yan, the only crown prince of the old Southern Tang Dynasty.  In this case, naturally it was not Wu Heng's turn to worry about Liu Yan. At best, he could only fulfill his last duty as a courtier and watch His Highness leave.

    "The rest of the gang has left. Master Xie, aren't you going to say something to Wu?"

    Seeing that Liu Yan was out of sight, Wu Heng turned his head and looked at Xie An calmly.

    [Huh?  ]

    Xie An was slightly startled. He did not expect Wu Heng to be able to talk to him so calmly at this moment. His demeanor of disregarding life and death was worthy of this man, the fourth-generation commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army.  s position.

    "I wish I could cut you into pieces!" Looking at Wu Heng and squinting his eyes, Xie An saw murderous intent in his eyes and gritted his teeth and smiled, "Come to think of it, I and Wu Shuai do have a killing plan.  Qiu Na!¡ª¡ªWu Shuai didn¡¯t forget it, right?¡±

    What Xie An was referring to was undoubtedly the incident three years ago when Wu Heng almost shot him to death with a crossbow.

    I remember that at that time, Xie An just wanted to watch a good show to see if there were six generals of the Taiping Army lurking among the confidant generals of the Lord of Northern Xinjiang, King Yan Li Mao. In the end, he inadvertently killed a Taiping Army like Wu Heng.  The big fish in.

    The result was good. In order to escape from Liang Qiu Wu and Jin Ling'er, Wu Heng actually shot Xie An with an arrow with a crossbow. At that time, Xie An, who was just thinking about watching a good show, actually had two problems in bed.  More than a month.

    Thinking of this incident still makes Xie An itchy with hatred.

    "Revenge for killing someone?" Wu Heng smiled instead of being angry when he heard this. He shook his head and said in a helpless tone, "Xie Shangshu was joking. Of course Wu remembers what happened three years ago. - Three years ago. It's because of Xie Shangshu.  With one word, Wu, who had been lurking under Li Mao for a long time, revealed his identityDoes Shangshu Xie really think that the crossbow arrow was just an unnecessary disaster?"

    Looking at Wu Heng¡¯s joking smile, Xie An felt angry and funny.  Perhaps because he saw that Wu Heng was at the end of his rope, he was not in a hurry to execute Wu Heng and shook his head.  "With just one sentence, Commander Wu used a crossbow to greet me. Isn't this a bit too much?"

    "Too much?" Wu Heng narrowed his eyes subconsciously and hummed, "Master Xie, do you know that just one word from you will make Wu's years of hard work in vain?!"

    When Wu Heng said this, there was a hint of anger. It is not difficult to guess that this incident is still fresh in his memory.

    ??In fact.  Without Xie An's words, Wu Heng could of course still be lurking safely in Northern Xinjiang, lurking next to King Yan Li Mao.  Just imagine, how can Li Mao, who is aggressive and stubborn, be the opponent of Wu Heng?  You don't need to think about it to know that Wu Heng will definitely be able to play Li Mao around.

    ?According to the situation at the time, Wu Heng could easily instigate discord between Northern Xinjiang and Hebei and Beijing, causing constant civil strife throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty. The three kings, including King Qin Li Shen, who had not yet been executed by law at the time, would also take the opportunity to become more powerful.  Coupled with the Taiping Army in Jiangnan, which has Liang Qiuhao, a peerless general, the Great Zhou Dynasty is a good country.  There is no doubt that it will split into several pieces, causing the entire world to fall into real war.

    If that time comes, it will be far worse than now!

    So, it is no wonder that Wu Heng hated Xie An deeply and did not forget to give Xie An three arrows as a "gift" before leaving.

    "Oh? So, I was just reaping the consequences at that time?" He snorted coldly.  Xie An's eyes were full of displeasure.

    Seemingly noticing the displeasure in Xie An's eyes, Wu Heng chuckled and said, "What? Do you want to take action? Wu is right here, he won't hide, let alone run away!"

    makes sense.  If Wu Heng really wanted to escape, he did have a chance to escape when Zhou Jun entered the city just now.

    Xie An also knew this very well.  Perhaps it was precisely because of knowing this that Xie An wanted to chat with Wu Heng. After all, Wu Heng could be considered a hero no matter how hard he said it.

    "That's right. I wish I could shoot you through the chest with a crossbow, but" At this point, the murderous intent in Xie An's eyes slowly dissipated, and he gently touched Liu Qing's shoulder.  He gently pushed her in front of him, looked at Wu Heng and said lightly, "But, the sufferer here this time is not me, but her!"

    "" Wu Heng's expression finally changed slightly. Didn't he see Liu Qing staring at him with extremely hateful eyes since just now?

    Looking at the half-grown woman who looked very similar to the second-generation coach of the Taiping Army and the woman whom Wu Heng once respectfully called Lady Liu Ji, Wu Heng's eyes suddenly became complicated.  Regret, panic, guilt, shame, all kinds of indescribable expressions gathered in his eyes.

    "You really want to kill me!"

    After hesitating for a long time, Wu Heng said this:These words made Xie An feel very awkward.  After all, if Xie An's tone was correct, he should be concerned.

    This time, Xie An guessed correctly again.

    When he saw Liu Qing, Wu Heng actually wanted to ask her how she was doing in the Zhou army and what her current situation was like.  But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't ask the question. In the end, he suppressed a sentence that made Xie An feel extremely awkward.

    "[Goodbye is a sworn enemyhow sad!"  ¡ª¡ªNow that things have happened, is this the only thing I can say to her?  ]

    Even though he was a hero, Wu Heng's eyes couldn't help but darken.  Maybe Wu Heng did have hatred towards Liu Qing and Liang Qiu Hao in the past, but at least 80% of it was from the old hatred when he failed to serve as the third generation coach of the Taiping Army. It was about why Liu Qian, the second generation coach, chose Liang Qiu Hao instead.  Wu Heng didn't understand why he was not chosen.

    It wasn¡¯t until Liu Yan spoke out that Wu Heng realized that he attributed all his grievances to others, but never reflected on what he had done.

    "If you want to kill me, you have to do it as soon as possible!" After drinking a glass of wine, Wu Heng looked at Liu Qing and said calmly.

    Hearing this, Liu Qingmei's eyes flashed with deep hatred. When Zhou General E Yi saw this, he immediately handed over the sword.

    And just when Liu Qing was about to grasp the hilt of the sword, Xie An grabbed her wrist and then slowly let go.

    "" Perhaps he realized something from Xie An's worried eyes, and the murderous intent in Liu Qing's eyes subsided a bit.  However, she still held the sword and slowly walked towards Wu Heng.

    Wu Heng naturally saw this scene, but after an unexpected glance, he focused all his attention on Liu Qing.

    A sharp sword blade.  Finally, he put his arm around Wu Heng's neck, but Wu Heng seemed not to notice at all and continued to drink calmly.

    "Whywhy do you do that, Wu Heng!" Liu Qing asked in a low voice.  As she spoke, her shoulders kept shaking, and the sword in her hand kept shaking.

    "" Wu Heng still drank with his eyes closed, without saying a word.

    Seeing this, Liu Qing became even more angry and shouted angrily.  "Why betray us?! Why do you want to die without saving me?! Why do you abandon all 50,000 of my brothers as abandoned children?!"

    "" Wu Heng's right hand holding the wine cup trembled slightly, but in the end, the wine cup was brought to his mouth.  He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

    "Why why I used to I used to regard you as my elder brother Brother Chen, Brother Yang, and you you have been by my side since I was sensible but why  ¡­¡±

    With a "clang", the sword in Liu Qing's hand fell to the ground. She slowly fell to the ground softly, her voice choked.  He covered his face and sobbed softly.

    Seeing this, the expressions of Zhou Jiang Dianying and E Yi changed slightly.  After all, in his opinion, if Wu Heng suddenly attacked at this moment, Liu Qing could easily be subdued and taken as a hostage.

    Thinking of this, they calmly held their weapons and walked over. However, after taking a few steps, they saw Xie An raising his hand to block them.

    "Shh!" After making a silent gesture.  Xie An slowly shook his head towards his generals Dian Ying and E Yi, signaling them not to act rashly.

    It¡¯s not that Xie An doesn¡¯t care about Liu Qing¡¯s safety, it¡¯s just that he feels that Wu Heng has no intention of harming Liu Qing at the moment.

    "Stupid!" Just as Xie An expected.  Wu Heng did not take the opportunity to subdue Liu Qing as a hostage. It should be said that he did not even change his sitting position, he just made a mockery in his mouth.

    "What did you say?" Liu Qing, who was covering her face and crying, suddenly raised her head and glared at Wu Heng fiercely.

    Wu Heng sneered and said lightly, "Immersed in the memories of the past, I can't bear to kill someone who is my mortal enemy because of my feelings That bastard Chen Suo is not only so pedantic himself, but he also taught you  Such virtue!¡ªYou don¡¯t have the talent to command a hundred thousand Taiping troops!¡±

    "You are not allowed to insult Brother Chen!" Seeing Wu Heng insulting Liang Qiuhao, Liu Qing's face turned red with anger. She picked up the sword that had fallen to the ground and put it on Wu Heng's neck again.

    "Did Wu say something wrong?!" With a heavy snort, Wu Heng said in a deep voice, "It is said that one general can make thousands of bones dry up. As a human master, you should have the consciousness to conquer the world with millions of people! - You Liu  Qing, is there any?"

    "I¡­¡­"

    "You don't have it! - You are no longer the princess of the Taiping Army" At this point, the stern look on Wu Heng's face disappeared without a trace, and he said softly in an unprecedented gentle tone, "So, do it in the future  An ordinary woman, let¡¯s live on"

    ?Wu Heng, who could even stab his own people in the back, could he be so gentle sometimes?  ]

    "Hiss" Xie An gasped in shock.

    On the other hand, Liu Qing and the Zhou soldiers in the hall were also stunned by Wu Heng's words full of concern.

    But at this moment, Wu Heng laughed, shook his head and said, "So you are stupid! Although you are extremely smart, you are still repeatedly teased by Wu in the end! - When you are stupid, you  The best opportunity to kill Wu has been lost"

    Hearing this, Xie An was suddenly startled. When he took a closer look, he discovered that there was a faint line of black blood flowing from the corner of Wu Heng's mouth.

    "The wine is poisonous!" Xie An shouted.

    When Zhou generals Dianying and E Yi heard this, they stepped forward and protected Liu Qing behind them.

    At this time, Wu Heng couldn't stop spitting out black blood from his mouth, and then his head sank, and there was no life in his eyes anymore.

    "Don't die, don't die! - I won't let you die like this! I want you to die in my hands Wu Heng, don't pretend to be dead! Don't pretend to be dead!" Zai Dianying and E Yi stopped.  Liu Qing cried loudly.

    "Military advisor, military advisor" Pulling Liu Qing, Dianying persuaded softly, "This person has committed suicide by taking poison"

    "No, he's not dead yet!" Breaking free from the pull of Kai Dianying and E Yi, Liu Qing stepped forward, shook Wu Heng's lifeless body, and cried in a choked tone, "Wu Heng,  You don¡¯t want to die, I won¡¯t allow you to die! - You haven¡¯t paid the price for what you have done, so I won¡¯t allow you to die! You give melive, you give me a life"

    "" Xie An sighed slightly, waved his hand, motioning Dianying and E Yi to pull Liu Qing away, and then looked at Wu Heng, who was sitting in the banquet even though he was dead.

    "[Oh, this extremely cruel man didn't even say an apology in the end!"  However I don't have the talent to be the commander of the Taiping Army, so I will live as an ordinary woman in the future Wu Heng, the reason why you didn't escape was because you wanted to tell her these words?  ]

    Xie An took a deep breath and slowly shook his head.  Even though he had a deep hatred for Wu Heng before, he could not deny that Wu Heng was indeed a hero.

    [Stop crying, silly girl, he has already apologized, take action]

    Looking at Liu Qing who was crying extremely hard for some reason, Xie An let out a long sigh.

    On May 15th, the fifth year of Jingzhi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Guangling City, which had fallen to the Taiping Army, was finally captured by the Zhou Army.

    During this period, Wu Heng, the son of Wu Wei, the first deputy commander of the Taiping Army and the fourth commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army, died at the age of thirty-four.

    "Wu Heng's death means that the Taiping rebellion that lasted for more than twenty years has come to an end. Even if there are still some remnants of the Taiping Army who are still alive, it will be difficult to stir up any trouble.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
