Chapter 164 Du Hong Died with His Eyes Open
After the others had left for a long time, Du Hong suppressed his anger and asked Xu Yan, who was not sick, "Did the left prime minister reply?"
Xu Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Our carrier pigeons have never flown out."
Du Hongcai's suppressed anger suddenly rose up again: "What a great Luo Xi, what a great job!"
He opened his mouth and cursed again.
Another day later, the County Magistrate's Mansion finally became quiet. It was not because Du Hong had stopped, but... he no longer had the energy to curse.
He collapsed weakly on the bed, his eyes full of despair: "Go, tell Luo Xi that as long as she is willing to save my life, I will agree to any condition."
The dull eyes of Changshi and the others brightened up.
Great, they won't die.
"Agreed?" Luo Xi said in a light tone: "Tsk, I thought he was so powerful, but it's only been a few days?"
"Boss, did you know he would agree?" Qi Lei was so surprised that he murmured, "How could he agree to such an outrageous condition?"
Luo Xi was not surprised. In the end times, people did more outrageous things than this just to relieve their stuttering.
"Tell him that the first step is to bring all the officers and soldiers in the city to surrender the city. As for the rest, we can talk about it later."
As for whether Du Hong has arrived yet, haha...
"That's great." Qi Lei jumped up and down with joy: "This way, the entire Nanyue County will be ours. I'll be there right away."
Le Zheng Feiyuan's eyes were also full of smiles.
When Luo Xi, Le Zheng Feiyuan and the generals of the Red Soul Army arrived at the city gate, Du Hong, Liu Wei and a group of officials and soldiers from the city were already waiting there.
Liu Wei stood straight with his head lowered in silence, as if he had accepted this outcome.
Du Hong and his subordinates looked somewhat embarrassed.
They were all carried out, their faces covered with pustules, and they lay limp on the sedan chair like dead dogs. A foul stench could be smelled from afar.
Especially Du Hong, you can’t even tell what he looks like.
"Tsk tsk, how miserable." Qi Lei's tone was full of pleasure, but the next moment, he seemed to remember something and his face looked a little horrified.
"Boss, we won't be infected if we go over there, right?" He didn't want to become like that.
"No." Luo Xi kept walking: "I asked Nan Wushang, as long as we don't come into contact with their body fluids, it will be safe."
"That's good, that's good." Qi Lei patted his chest.
Over there, Du Hong also noticed them.
He raised his head with great effort, and looked Luo Xi up and down. After a while, he said, "Good, good, you are worthy of being the head of Luoda. It is true that women are as good as men."
Although it was a compliment, the tone was full of sarcasm.
Luo Xi didn't even glance at him, and waved his hand behind him: "Le Zheng Feiyuan, take the people to take over the various places. Remember, be careful to prevent fraud."
"Don't worry, boss." Le Zheng Feiyuan said this and went over to control the soldiers outside the city. Then, he took half of the Red Soul Army and quickly walked into the city gate and began to take over various parts of the city.
Du Hong didn't even look at that side, but anxiously urged Luo Xi: "I've given you the city, but where's the medicine? Give it to me quickly."
Luo Xi curled his lips and threw one to each of them to prevent them from dying too quickly.
After all, their debt has not yet been repaid.
Du Hong was furious: "One pill is not enough, we agreed that you have to cure me."
"Do you want love? Take it away." Luo Xi left without looking back.
"You--" Du Hong was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted instantly. He didn't even take the medicine he got in exchange for, and it fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the Red Soul Army was well prepared and was relatively far away, so they were not sprayed. However, they did not want to lift Du Hong either.
"You guys, carry the person and follow us." They cleverly ordered the soldiers in the city to bring the person back to the city.
However, this time Du Hong and the others were put in a cell and left to fend for themselves without any further intervention.
Le Zheng Feiyuan worked quickly and carefully, and in just half a day, he had completely taken over the city.
"Boss, what should we do with those people in prison?" he asked.
Luo Xi looked up at him and smiled: "I'll leave it to you."
After a pause, Luo Xi said, "If possible, let him write a confession. I think Wei Qing should need that."
"Boss..." Le Zheng Feiyuan choked up and his eyes turned red.
He bowed deeply to Luo Xi: "Thank you, Boss."
On that day, Le Zheng Feiyuan forced Du Hong to write a confession. As for whether Du Hong was willing to do so, Le Zheng Feiyuan had plenty of ways to make him willing.
After it was written, everyone in the prison was taken to an open area.
There, facing the border, various offerings had been laid out, and all the Red Soul Army soldiers came in front of the offerings.
They were all dressed in mourning and looked very sad.
When Du Hong and his companions saw this, their faces suddenly changed. They wanted to run away, but they were too weak to stand up. They could only shout in a hoarse voice: "What are you going to do? What are you going to do?"
"Luo Xi promised me that if I offered the city, she would cure me. You are putting her in an unjust position by doing this."
The chief secretaries also kept shouting: "General Le Zheng, please spare our lives. It was Du Hong who caused your defeat and framed you for collaborating with the enemy. We knew nothing about it. Please let us go."
But no matter how loud they shouted, no one among the tens of thousands of soldiers paid any attention to them. All of them knelt on the ground with sullen faces and kowtowed three times towards the direction of the border.
General Feibo, brothers, thanks to the boss, today we have brought here the culprits who killed you. They will get the punishment they deserve, and you... can rest in peace.
"Execution." As Le Zheng Feiyuan's sorrowful voice fell, Du Hong and others were pierced through the hearts by thousands of arrows and died with their eyes open.
Afterwards, Le Zheng Feiyuan ordered people to burn their bodies completely and prepared to give the ashes to Wei Qing.
He knew that the Wei family had also been badly harmed by Du Hong, and Wei Qing needed these things to commemorate his dead relatives.
After returning, Le Zheng Feiyuan, together with Qi Lei and others, solemnly thanked Luo Xi.
"Thank you, Boss. If it weren't for you, the grass on our graves would be very tall, let alone revenge..."
"Okay, we're all family, stop talking nonsense." Luo Xi couldn't stand this kind of situation. It was so embarrassing.
She looked at Le Zheng Feiyuan and said, "Take your men to the former military camp in the prefectural city and clean it up. The soldiers will live there from now on. We will not go to Tongning County anymore."
"I have already sent someone to notify Yin Li and the others. I think they will move in soon."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
However, a few days later, Yin Li and his friends did come, but they brought extremely bad news.
Xiao Yi rebelled!
Not only did he take away most of the soaked seeds, he also captured Wei Qing.
Now, nowhere to be found.
Yin Li knelt down in front of Luo Xi with a plop: "I'm sorry, Boss. It's my incompetence that I failed to stop him."
Luo Xi was silent for a long time, then gently helped Yin Li up: "Get up first and then we'll talk slowly."
