Chapter 415: Female Hero in Troubled Times (17)
The prince walked out, and then stepped out of the mansion, when an anxious report sounded.
"No! No, the wall is broken."
"What? How could it be so fast?" The prince's legs became weak and he almost fell backwards. This was like a nightmare: "Where are the generals! Are all their troops and horses just decorations?"
"The city wall was blown down. Some of them surrendered, and some of them ran away. The Divine Guards have already come in this direction. Prince, please run away!"
He didn't expect that they were so useless. They usually sang so beautifully in front of him, but now they were useless when trouble came.
At this moment, he thought of what Huo said before leaving, and his scalp went numb. He was really scared now, and he dared to go forward. He hurriedly stumbled to the mansion, and hurriedly asked his servants to pack their things and go to the mansion. Escape through a secret passage.
The prince was very glad at this moment that he secretly said this to no one, otherwise he would not know how he died.
"Let's go! Why don't you go?"
"Prince, you can't leave!"
"Why can't I go? The exit is ahead. Get out of my way." The prince walked forward, and then he stretched out his head and pointed a sharp knife at his neck.
His face instantly turned pale as a sheet, as if he had been greatly frightened. His neck also became extremely stiff due to tension, and he slowly raised his head and looked at the smiling face.
"Prince, what a coincidence!" The woman lightly opened her red lips and let out a sweet laugh, but to the man's ears it sounded as spooky and terrifying as a ghost. The smile on her face was dazzling and dazzling, making people fall in love with her. However, for the prince at this moment, such a smile made his hair stand on end and shuddered.
The prince's eyes widened and he stared blankly at the mysterious woman in front of him, his heart filled with fear and doubt.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Su Wan chuckled and did not respond to him: "Take everyone away and hand them over to General Huo."
"Yes! Lord."
The prince was restrained by the two people. When he heard the word "lord", he already knew who she was. He never thought that she would be so young and beautiful. Thinking of this, he sneered and said in a mocking tone: "No wonder Huo Lian will I chose to betray me because I was deceived by beauty.”
Su Wan raised his eyebrows lightly, with doubts on his face, and asked in confusion: "Isn't it the prince that you just listened to the slanders of those villains and designed to harm the Huo family army first? Why are you now going to reverse the blame and pin the blame on Huo Jiajun?" On the general?"
"Is this my fault? I am his monarch, and he should obey my advice and be loyal to me. But he is in the Cao camp and his heart is in the Han Dynasty. He is such a half-hearted person who pursues Qin, Mu and Chu. How can I Can you keep him?"
How could he be wrong? It was wrong to do him the right thing. The only fault was that I didn't kill him in the first place.
Su Wan was too lazy to argue with him, turned around and said, "Take the person away."
"Yes!"
Every corner of Luoyang City is covered with spies and spies from Su and Anhui, and the mansion where the prince lives has become a key surveillance target.
Naturally, wherever the secret passage in the prince's residence leads, it cannot escape Su Wan's sight.
Huo Lian led his troops to search the entire prince's residence, but there was no trace of the prince.
"General Huo, my lord intercepted the escaping prince and said that you would come and deal with it."
Huo Lian looked at the people escorted into the house from outside in surprise.
I respected the Lord even more in my heart.
The prince's face looked extremely ugly at the moment.
"Huo Lian, you are really capable. I underestimate you."
Huo Lian's expression was like an overturned five-flavor bottle, extremely complicated.
He was as cold as ice, staring at his former master, his eyes seemed to be burning with the flames of anger, and at the same time, there was endless regret and self-blame intertwined in his heart.
He regretted that he had been blind and had recognized the wrong person. He had not seen through the other person's true face earlier, and had harmed Huo Jiajun's brothers.
The prince stared at Huo Lian closely, with a hint of majesty and questioning in his voice: "Why are you looking at me like this? Do you really have the courage to kill me? Do you know what will happen if you do this? The consequences? The crime of regicide is an outrage! Aren’t you afraid of being criticized by thousands of people and cast aside by thousands of people? Also, don’t forget the solemn vows made by your family’s ancestors!”
Ancestor training! Ancestor training! It’s still ancestral teaching! Not only was he imprisoned by the so-called ancestral precepts and loyalty, he was simply tightly bound and unable to break free!
"So what if you violate it? Loyalty also depends on the object, and you are not worthy. I will use your blood to pay tribute to my dead brothers."
The prince was panicked and did not dare to continue to pose in front of him.
"Huo Lian, actually I was deceived by villains. I really never thought about harming you. They did it. It was them. I don't know anything. Really, you believe me."
He was even called "I" instead of "I".
Huo Lian felt extremely ironic at this moment. He felt ironic about his own blindness.
How can a person like him become a wise king?
"What's the use of saying this now? Can the dead come back to life? Can the hurt you have suffered be forgotten?"
Huo Lian raised his knife and executed the prince on the spot.
The prince's eyes widened and he fell to the ground, and soon became silent again.
"Take him down and bury him!" Instead of being executed in public, he was executed by Ling Chi. This could be regarded as leaving him with the last royal face, and it could also be regarded as an explanation to his ancestors of the Huo family.
When the prince was carried out, the generals who followed the prince were trembling, worried that they would be the next to be killed.
When they saw Huo Lian appear with a gloomy face, they wanted to disappear on the spot. They lowered their heads one by one, trying their best to reduce their sense of existence, for fear that they would be killed together.
Huo Lian did not attack them, because disarming and not killing was the purpose of the Divine Guards. Whether they could survive or not would depend on how many things they had done to harm the people.
The attack on Luoyang this time was like searching for something. A dozen thunders shook the sky like thunder from the blue. They were so frightened that they couldn't help but open the city gate without any effort.
Luoyang is just a paper tiger that is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
At first, the people of Luoyang were panic-stricken, like a frightened bird. But when they discovered that the Divine Guards had not burned, killed or looted the city after entering the city, they had instead opened warehouses to stockpile grain. It was like a long drought met with gentle rain, or like a cold winter met with warm sunshine. Coupled with the passionate preaching of Jiangsu and Anhui, it was more like thunder on a dry land and undoubtedly won the hearts of the people of Luoyang.
The incident in Luoyang spread quickly as if it had wings. The people in many towns, states and counties were like babies waiting to be fed, and they couldn't wait for the Divine Guards to attack immediately.
When the Divine Guards attacked Luoyang, they took a detour, and their movements were like ghosts; when they returned, they went back with great fanfare and mighty force. The towns they passed through opened their city gates and lined the streets to welcome the Divine Guards into the city, as if they had seen the savior.
Huo Lian also understood at this moment what the people's support was, and the saying "whoever wins the people's support wins the world" was vividly expressed at this moment.
Su Wan will undoubtedly be a perfect ruler.
Su and Anhui will return, but their deeds have already spread in Luoxiaji, and everyone knows it.
