Chapter 251 I will return with thousands of horses and troops (62)
"It's good that we still know each other."
Changsun Yuchao put away his jade pendant and looked at Emperor Liang with a half-smile.
"Want to save your son's life?"
"You...you...it's you who caught my Sheng'er!"
"So what if it's me, I can tell you that he's not dead, but I can't guarantee what the future will be like. It depends on your choice."
Emperor Liang held up his arms and tried to sit up. His deeply sunken eyes were cloudy and filled with overwhelming hatred.
"I should have killed you long ago!"
"It's not that you don't want to...I'll give you ten numbers to consider. If you hand over the military talisman, I'll save your son's life. Otherwise, you can see your son when you get to the underworld. Do you understand?"
Changsun Yuchao began to count.
"One..."
"Two..."
"Three..."
Changsun Heng coughed heartbreakingly. His gray and dry hair almost stood up. His fingers, as thin as dead branches, pointed at Changsun Yuchao. His eyes almost burst out of his eyes. He was glaring at Changsun with all the strength in his life. Yu Chao.
"You!!"
"Six... think about it carefully. You will die anyway. Before you die, it depends on whether you want to take your son to hell with you... Seven..."
"Do you think Jiang Huan will survive if I hand him over now?"
"Eight..."
Changsun Yuchao's face gradually changed, and a coldness flashed across his eyes.
"The military talisman is in the acacia tree under the pavilion in the imperial garden. Please spare my life, Sheng'er."
Changsun Yuchao raised his eyebrows and immediately ordered people to look for military talismans under the acacia tree.
After telling the whereabouts of the soldier talisman, Changsun Heng seemed to have died in an instant. He was lying on the bed with all the oil and lamp dried up. He had exhausted all his strength and lost everything. "Changsun... Yu Chao, if you break your promise, even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!"
Changsun Yuchao smiled.
"Do you want to keep him alive? It's a trivial matter. When I ascend the throne, I will assign him a job to stay with me every day. What do you think...how about being the eunuch in charge?"
"You...you dare!! Changsun Yuchao is sinister and vicious!! Changsun Yuchao!! I will never let you go!!"
Changsun Heng roared with the last bit of his strength, sat up straight, stared at Changsun Yuchao, and then his eyes became distracted, his whole body twitched, he spat out a mouthful of turbid blood, and fell down on the dragon bed.
"Your Majesty... passed away——!!"
As soon as the news of his death came out, the whole country mourned.
Changsun Yuchao was supposed to observe mourning for the late emperor for one year and ascend the throne the following year. However, due to internal and external troubles in Daliang, the country could not live without a king for half a day. Therefore, the enthronement ceremony was directly scheduled on the third day of the national mourning.
Fifty thousand reinforcements rushed to Lingyang Pass overnight.
According to the schedule, it will take two days to arrive.
At this time, there was only one gate left in Lingyang Pass. Jiang Tang, with only two thousand soldiers left, defended Lingyang Pass.
On the high city wall, thousands of arrows came like raindrops. Jiang Tang stood at the front of the city wall, holding the spear in his hand, resisting Qi's attack.
Not only arrows, but also boulders weighing hundreds of kilograms were projected over the city wall.
Behind Jiang Tang, the city wall had been destroyed and devastated, and under his feet were the bodies of dead soldiers.
One wave fell, and another wave of soldiers stepped on the bodies of the brothers and continued to defend.
The silver gun in Jiang Tang's hand had turned blood red and was dripping with blood.
The silver armor was stained with blood. Jiang Tang stood at the main attack entrance. Under the city wall, Qi Bing's corpses were piled up for several meters.
No one could break through Jiang Tang's defense. Under the main attack, corpses lay everywhere.
