477. The final battle (nine)(1/3)
When he received the report, Nangong Heng was listening to Wanwan memorizing the poem. There were four lines of a poem, and the last word of each sentence was memorized incorrectly.
"Dad, I'm so stupid, what should I do? Do you want to hit me?" Wanwan carried his little hand on his back and his cunning eyes kept floating towards Ye Ling.
"Every sentence is just wrong in the last word, which means you can do it on purpose." Ye Ling's expression was faint, "I can understand your feelings of fighting for nothing, but it won't help you."
Wanwan fell in Nangong Heng's arms, "Dad, I don't, I'm not, mom is talking nonsense."
Kaiyang's figure appeared at the door, and Ye Ling stood up and walked out.
"What's wrong?" Ye Ling asked.
Kaiyang presented a letter, "It was sent by a child, saying that a girl had paid money to hire him to send it to Prince Ning's Mansion."
The envelope is rough, with wrinkled edges and a piece of oil stain that has no sealing.
Ye Ling took apart and held the thin letter paper in his hand. Seeing the sloppy handwriting on it, his eyes suddenly became cold and stern!
"Mom, what's wrong?" The curious Wanwan had already run over, hugged Ye Ling's legs, and tiptoed to read what was written in the letter.
Ye Ling picked up Wanwan in one hand and threw it at Kaiyang, "Take her to my mother's place."
Kaiyang quickly caught the little master and responded respectfully, regardless of Wanwan's protest, and turned around and left with his arms around.
"Mom, I'll be back!"
Wanwan's crisp voice had not yet floated away, and the letter had already reached Nangong Heng's hand. After he saw it, the smile on his face disappeared, frowned and cursed, "Damn it!"
Tianshu appeared and said that many people were kneeling at the gate of Prince Ning’s Mansion, who flocked into the city early in the morning and were crying and begging for their children to save them.
Yuheng rushed over and held several notices in his hand, saying that the conspicuous places in Xiliang City were posted, which had caused riots among the people. The content on the notice was closely related to the content of the letter in Nangong Heng's hand.
The letter said that at noon this day, Nangong Heng committed suicide in public in the square in front of the Imperial Palace in Xiliang City! Otherwise, every more than a quarter of an hour, a child's head would be thrown into Ximohe!
In the notice, in addition to the content in the letter, the last sentence that makes everyone feel threatened the most is, "Go and ask Nangong Heng, please Ye Ling, otherwise, the next one will be your turn!"
When people who don’t know the truth will think that Nangong Heng and Ye Ling offended someone. As a result, the other party attacked innocent people and targeted weak children. Who can accept such a thing?
A letter, a notice, a few words, the paper is full of absurd and crazy!
The three-day agreement proposed by Duanmu Yin once, the expiration of the city massacre has long been resolved by Ye Ling.
But there were some crazy thoughts. After the father and son had signs in their hearts, as long as they were still alive, they would not give up. The more they were forced to the end of their journey, the more they became more and more violent they became like mad dogs!
Ye Ling and Nangong Heng had thought about this situation and had been trying their best to avoid it. But when it really came, it was worse and more urgent than they expected!
I thought that the worst was to replace people, and as long as the other party emerged, it would be solved.
Unexpectedly, the lunatic family wanted Nangong Heng to die.
It's very simple. Nangong Heng is their backbone and the strongest among them. It will be much easier to get rid of Nangong Heng and fight next time.
They can even continue to use such extreme means that animals are inferior to those of beasts, to get rid of Ye Ling tomorrow, to get rid of Ye Sheng the next day, and then to get rid of Ye Ying, one after another.
As long as they are not caught, they can keep threatening Ye Ling and Nangong Heng with the lives of innocent people, destroy their conscience, have no bottom line, do whatever they want, endlessly...
"Master, there are more and more people outside, and they are kneeling at the door and not leaving!" Kaiyang's face was solemn.
"When is it?" Nangong Heng asked.
Yuheng's face looked ugly, "The end of Chen and the second hour of Wu are only one hour left."
"Is there any news from Su Tang?" Ye Ling asked.
After saying that, Situ Xuan entered the door with a dusty face, "When Su Tang took us to find Linhe Village this morning, he found that ten children had been lost in the village. The oldest was ten years old and the youngest was only three years old. No one died for the time being. The people who started the battle had very strong martial arts skills. The villagers were all stolen from their sleep. No one could provide useful clues! At the end of the village, the place where Duanmu Yin and his son were suspected to have settled, and there were blood on the bed, but the people were gone! They were still searching nearby, so I will come back to report the news first! It's really something worse than a pig and dog, and they actually took surgery on the child!"
After the words came, Situ Xuan saw the notice in Yuheng's hand, took it over and took a look, and couldn't help but curse, "It should be struck by lightning!"
"They are desperate and intend to make a last try. The method they use is very clever. They know that they cannot show up and the hostages do not need to take risks to find us. Those who are far away are forcing us to bow their heads for the innocent people. It is simple, but very effective." The cold light in Ye Ling's eyes rage.
The crying outside the gate alarmed everyone in the mansion, and the matter could not be hidden.
Nangong Yu's face was as deep as a moan, "How could there be such a heartless thing in this world? Xiaoqi, don't do anything randomly! They are not just looking at you. Even if you die, they will not stop, they will only become even more crazy!"
"Yes!" Qin Zheng's face was solemn, "They must not be led by the nose!"
"But there is only one hour left. If a child is really killed..." Shangguan Peng frowned so hard that he could kill the flies.
Human nature is the most untestable.
Like Ye Ling and Ye Ying and Baili Su, they are both the people in power in the eyes of this land and they are also the people who should protect them.
The people don’t know and don’t care about right and wrong. It doesn’t matter whether Nangong Heng is wrong or not. They only look at the results.
If there is really a child killed by Duanmu Yin and his son, all the accounts will be settled in the Ning Prince's Mansion.
Objectively speaking, those lunatics did have personal grudges with the Ning Prince's Mansion and implicated the people. Therefore, they had to be saved, and no one could die.
"I'll go." Song Qingyu, who had been silent, spoke, "Since it's related to Duanmu Yan, I'll go."
Qi Miao frowned and lowered her eyes without saying anything. Fortunately, Wen Min and Xue were not here, otherwise they would have fainted when they heard Song Qingyu rushing to die.
Nangong Heng raised his hand and twitched the back of Song Qingyu's head, "Do you think you are a fairy with endless charm? Now the crazy Duanmu Yan will still put down the butcher knife for you and become a Buddha on the ground? What a mess you think! Your martial arts are useless, stay at home!"
Song Qingyu frowned, "Aheng! It's not a joke! I'm serious! Even if I'm going to die, it's not you! I might have a turnaround!"
"Qingyu, shut up!" Ye Ling held his forehead, "I understand what you mean, but no one deserves to die. For this part, there is no doubt that Duanmu Yan is already crazy and will no longer show mercy to you, because he knows that we will not really let you die, and it is related to his life and death."
Hua Li's face was solemn. Although she had no words, she still felt very guilty. After all, it was because of her intervention that Duanmu Yin and Duanmu Yan and his son escaped, and now they have implicated innocent people.
"This notice is not smart." Chu Mingze, who was sitting in the corner, sneered, "If it were me, I would just write on it, let Nangong Heng be cut in half in public, and he would die so much that he could not die again. Otherwise, if he smeared his neck and fell to the ground, who would know if he died completely? If someone needed to confirm, wouldn't it be exposed? In my opinion, I would find a substitute to go over, and whenever someone showed up, arrested him, use the Tu Zhendan to ask about the hiding place of Duanmu Yin and his son, and rushed to save the person immediately! After all, even if the other party wanted to go back to inform him, it would take time. We will be faster than them, so there would be no problem!"
"You are smart." Ye Ling hummed lightly, "If the person who showed up and confirmed did not know where Duanmu Yin and his son were? Are there still friends staring at him? It is a very simple way to prevent exposure. Do you think Duanmu Yan can't think of it? Can you afford the consequences if you act rashly?"
"Do you really plan to let Nangong Heng go?" Chu Mingze asked quietly.
"Master, I'll go!" Gossip stood up, "I used to be the master's substitute, and I have experience. Even if I die, I will be willing!"
Qixing sighed and said nothing. He was willing to do this if he had done so.
Nangong Heng and Ye Ling looked at each other, and Nangong Heng nodded, "Okay, go."
Chu Mingze raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. Although the gossip was just a subordinate, with the personalities of Nangong Heng and Ye Ling, people would not let anyone die. It seems that the couple had a plan long ago, but they didn't say it just now. Maybe Ye Ling was criticizing him because of habit?
After a while, Feng Buyi entered the door and threw a medicine bottle to Nangong Heng, "The head cannot be broken, so as to ensure that the body is not taken away by others. Leave it to me within an hour and can be rescued." After the words, he left hurriedly.
Everyone was relieved when they looked at the medicine bottle.
Chu Mingze was not surprised by this.
Nangong Heng chose to let go of gossip instead of himself, Chu Mingze thought this was very wise. Now is not the time to talk about loyalty, but the important thing is how to deal with those madmen. As the strongest person on his side, Nangong Heng must not have any trouble. He needs to rush ahead in some things, and he must not rush in some things himself.
As for whether someone will show up to verify the authenticity of Nangong Heng, the question is actually not a big deal. Even as Ye Ling said, more than one person hid in the crowd, and in their territory, can people run away? Then set up a net of heaven and earth to keep an eye on every suspicious person, even if it is verified that Nangong Heng is fake, if there is any abnormal movement at that time, it will be captured.
Using the Spit Pill, you can immediately ask where Duanmu Yin and his son are, and then rush over to save the person as quickly as possible.
Although it is still risky to do this, because the other party has a child as a hostage and will still be passive at that time, but this can be solved by being cautious.
And this is the plan of Nangong Heng and Ye Ling.
If no one shows up and can't find the other person, it will actually be more difficult, because there will be no breakthrough. Let the substitute go and alert the enemy. As long as you can catch the key figures who are informed, you can get some initiative back.
Nangong Heng quickly made arrangements. In less than an hour, he arranged his eyeliners around the square in front of the palace and everywhere in the city, with a clear division of labor, and no suspicious person is allowed to be left.
Duanmu Yin, Duanmu Yan and Liu Ying probably won’t show up in person. The people sent by each other will be perfectly hidden among the people. If they run away, it will be very troublesome.
After listening to Nangong Heng's arrangements, Chu Mingze felt that it was very reasonable, strict and cautious. The same was true for him, but there was nothing he had to do with all the deployments.
By the way, Chu Mingze took the initiative to speak, "Although I have no internal strength, I can pretend to be the people and watch it." Hiding in the crowd, maybe I can find something.
Nangong Heng glanced at Chu Mingze coldly, looked down on his majesty, "It's accurate."
Chu Mingze:...I suddenly felt that I was just a naughty person, but now I change my words and regret it, and there is a great possibility that I will be beaten up...
Ye Sheng stayed at home to avoid being taken advantage of by the other party. Although it is unlikely, he should not be taken lightly.
It was originally a common day, but because of the notices on the street and the villagers of Linhe Village who poured into Xiliang City early in the morning, the entire Xiliang City was in panic.
The streets are no longer as prosperous and lively as before. The people all have sad faces on their faces. Some gather outside the Ning Palace and some gather in the square outside the palace. There are more timid and afraid of trouble. They hide at home and close the door, and even hide children of all sizes, for fear of being caught suddenly.
Bagua has rich experience in pretending to be Nangong Heng, so he doesn't need to help. He skillfully disguised himself as Nangong Heng, put on Nangong Heng's clothes, hung Nangong Heng's sword around his waist, and hid the turtle breathing pill.
"Master, don't worry. Even if something happens, I will be happy. I will never regret it. My brother and sister-in-law have no objection." Gossip slapped his chest, looking at death, and grinned at Nangong Heng and Ye Ling.
Nangong Heng kicked the gossip, "I laughed so hard! Those who asked you to do things are not to let you commit suicide, so be clear!"
The gossip looks straight, "Yes!"
In midsummer, the sun rises and the air is hot and dull.
With two quarters of hours left before noon, the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion opened. The people looked up and saw "Nangong Heng" appearing at the door.
"Please save my child, he is only four years old!" A woman cried heartbrokenly.
It seemed as if a gate had been opened, and the crying sounds that had just stopped for a moment were heard one after another again.
The gossip expression pretending to be Nangong Heng calmly said two words: "Get out of the way."
The people made way and watched Bagua leave the Ning Prince's Mansion with two followers and walk towards the direction of the palace.
"He is..."
“No…”
