Yang Yinglong ordered his men to focus on defense to deal with the imperial army that would soon gather at Hailongtun. At this time, Hailongtun was not as optimistic and confident as last time at Loushan Pass. That steep and difficult to attack Loushan Pass was broken in one day. Although Hailongtun was more dangerous than Loushan Pass, it was heavily surrounded. How long could it last?
Yang Yinglong's men of sacrifice were very efficient. In the next few days, news about Yang Zhaolong and Chen Xiao were sent to Yang Yinglong.
"Yang Zhaolong has been drinking alone for the past few days."
Yang Yinglong smiled coldly. "Cowardly as a mouse!"
"Chen Xiao took in two new concubines a few days ago. They are both fourteen or fifteen years old!"
Yang Yinglong looked slightly disdainful. "Drunk and dreaming!"
"Yang Zhaolong has summoned his trusted subordinates twice in a row to discuss matters."
Yang Yinglong's tone was sharp. "Find out what they discussed!"
"Chen Xiao used the opportunity of taking in concubines to send people down the mountain to buy them. But he hid his two young sons among the servants and secretly sent them out of the mountain."
Yang Yinglong's face immediately darkened. "Find out where they are and bring them all back for me!"
Another two days later, Yang Yinglong received news that the Ming vanguard, Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu, had arrived at Horse Cultivation City. The vanguard of Nanchuan Road and Yongning Road had also arrived and met up with them. At the same time, Ye Xiaotian's troops were also advancing towards the northeast of Hailongtun, faintly forming a triangular formation with Ma Qiancheng.
Ye Xiaotian only had his own troops on this journey, but Ye Xiaotian had nearly twenty thousand men. Other people were getting fewer and fewer as they fought, but Ye Xiaotian was recruiting soldiers as he fought and even recruited surrendered soldiers. So his army was gradually growing. Therefore, the strength and strength of his troops were even higher than Ma Qiancheng's three armies in Horse Cultivation City.
Just as Yang Yinglong was struggling to deal with the situation, his death guard brought him the most reliable news: Yang Zhaolong had summoned his trusted subordinates twice in a row, and the main content of the discussion was about the current situation. Yang Zhaolong did not have any expectations for the future of the Sea Dragon Tun, but he did not find out that the Sea Dragon Tun had done anything wrong, so it was inevitable that he was somewhat depressed.
Yang Yinglong couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. If Yang Zhaolong really had any ill intentions, then he would definitely kill him. But no matter what, Yang Zhaolong was still his younger brother. Killing his own brother would not make him feel comfortable.
Then, news about Chen Xiao came again. Chen Xiao took the opportunity of patrolling Green Snake Village to send a young daughter and his concubine down the mountain.
Yang Yinglong was furious. He immediately ordered his men to capture Chen Xiao on one side and his wife and young daughter on the other. Before Yang Yinglong could interrogate them, the spies who tracked down the whereabouts of Chen Xiao's two sons reported that they had entered Sinan under the escort of his loyal subordinates. Under the investigation, they disappeared on the post road to the north. If they continued to investigate, they might enter the Central Plains, which would take too long.
Hearing this, Yang Yinglong suddenly became furious and dared to do evil. When his younger brother Yang Zhaolong's suspicions gradually disappeared, his suspicions focused on Chen Xiao. Now he was even more certain that Chen Xiao was the traitor.
Chen Xiao was taken to the Heavenly King Pavilion. He looked defeated and depressed. As soon as he saw Yang Yinglong, he knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Heavenly King, I know my mistake! Heavenly King, please forgive me this once on account of my many years of hard work and loyalty. "
Yang Yinglong kicked him to the ground and said with an angry smile, "Loyalty? You colluded with the imperial court. In order to protect your own life and future, you didn't hesitate to betray your master for glory. You still have the face to say that you are loyal? "
Chen Xiao looked at Yang Yinglong in astonishment. Suddenly, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He suddenly understood. He thought that Yang Yinglong found out that he was arranging his funeral affairs and secretly sent his descendants out of Hailongtun. He didn't expect that Yang Yinglong actually thought that he had surrendered to the imperial court. The former was just out of selfishness, but the latter was an unforgivable capital crime.
Chen Xiao cried out, "Why do you say that? I was just confused for a moment. I couldn't bear to let my family die together with me, so I had a selfish thought and sent them out of the mountain. I was appreciated by Heavenly King. I don't dare to forget your kindness. Naturally, I will live and die with Heavenly King. How can I do something like surrendering to the enemy and betraying my master! "
Yang Yinglong looked up to the sky and laughed wildly. He stared at Chen Xiao and said with a murderous look, "You still dare to deceive me with flowery words! You sent your son, daughter, and even your wife out of the mountain one by one just to preserve the bloodline of your Chen family? Hehe, as long as I give you a few more days, your two adult sons will also be quietly sent away by you, right? "
At this time, Chen Xiao's eldest son and second son were also tied up and brought into the hall. After a while, his brothers, wives, concubines, and even the concubine and six-year-old daughter who were sent out of the mountain this time were brought in one by one.
Seeing that his family was arrested, Chen Xiao was terrified. He cried and begged, "Heavenly King, you really misunderstood! My eldest son and second son, I have already told them about the current situation. I want them to die for Heavenly King with me. I have never thought of sending them out of Hailongtun. "
Chen Xiao's eldest son and second son nodded repeatedly. "Yes, Heavenly King, my father did tell us so."
Yang Yinglong said coldly, "Of course you say so now."
Chen Xiao was anxious. "Heavenly King, what I said is true!"
Yang Yinglong opened his five fingers and slowly clenched the hilt of the sword. He pulled out the long sword inch by inch and said coldly, "There is no knowing what is in a man's heart. I can't tell whether you are good or evil, loyal or treacherous. Since you are loyal to me and willing to die for me, then now use your death to prove your loyalty! "
Yang Yinglong waved his hand, and the long sword flashed across the air like autumn water. One of Chen Xiao's concubines covered her throat and looked at Yang Yinglong in horror. Blood couldn't help gushing out of her throat.
A corpse fell to the ground with a plop. Seeing her mother's tragic death, the little girl was so frightened that she burst into tears. Chen Xiao's body trembled as he sobbed and said, "Heavenly King, this subordinate has never been disloyal to you, never been disloyal to you!"
Yang Yinglong was unmoved. He slowly raised the long sword in his hand again. At this time, a little girl's voice sounded. "Father!"
Yang Yinglong paused his sword and looked back. He saw a seven or eight-year-old girl with bright eyes and white teeth. Her features were as beautiful as a painting as she ran in. She was a step too late. Behind her was a helpless Tian Xiufeng and the little girl's birth mother, Yang Yinglong's seventh wife, Tian 'er.
The little girl was called Yang Hua, Yang Yinglong's youngest daughter. Yang Yinglong put on a kind smile and bent down to pick up his daughter. "Hua Hua, what are you doing here?"
Yang Hua angrily said to Yang Yinglong, "Father, Xiuxiu is my good friend. Why did you kill her mother?"
Yang Yinglong lowered the bloody long sword and said to Yang Hua, "Hua Hua, do you know that Xiuxiu's father and mother betrayed our Yang family? This Xiuxiu was just sent out of Hailong Tun by her father. Do you know why her father wanted to stay? They wanted to kill your father, kill your mother, and kill you as well. "
Chen Xiao shouted loudly, "I didn't, I didn't, I really didn't!"
The little girl called Xiuxiu also said with tears in her eyes, "My father really sent me and mother away. He said that I was still too young and that I shouldn't stay on the mountain to die with him. Father never said anything about letting down the Heavenly King. "
Huahua heard this and turned to look at Yang Yinglong. Yang Yinglong smiled at his daughter. "Huahua, do you believe Daddy's words, or do you believe them?"
Yang Hua looked at Yang Yinglong, then at the tearful Xiuxiu. She hesitated.
Yang Yinglong softly said to Yang Hua, "Huahua, in this world, anyone can harm you. Only your parents don't ask for anything in return, but they still want to pamper and dote on you. Who do you think you should believe? Your father and mother were almost killed, including you. Do you think you should still protect them?
Think about it, if it wasn't for dad discovering all of this, it would have been our family that died here. They betrayed dad and could still enjoy the glory and splendor. Xiuxiu could still wear the prettiest clothes, eat the best food, and have her parents dote on her. But what about you? "
Yang Hua listened to her father's words and gradually showed an angry expression.
Yang Yinglong slowly put down his daughter and stuffed the sword hilt into her hand. He then used his big hand to hold her hand and squatted down. He softly said in her ear, "Hua Hua, you are my daughter, Yang Yinglong. You are not an ordinary woman. You must remember, you are not ordinary. Love and hate, right and wrong, you must be clearer than an ordinary man. You must be able to take responsibility! "
Yang Yinglong slowly looked at the tearful Xiuxiu. His voice gradually turned cold. "They betrayed father and Yang family. They are our enemies. Hua Hua, Xiuxiu is your friend. If father doesn't kill her, you kill her! "
Yang Hua's small body trembled. But when she turned to see her father's encouraging eyes, her tender little hand involuntarily tightened its grip on the sword. Yang Yinglong held his daughter's hand and slowly raised the sword in her hand. He aimed it at Xiuxiu's small body.
"No! Hua Hua, we are good friends. Don't kill me! "
Xiuxiu screamed in fear. She wanted to retreat, but the guard's big hand firmly pressed down on her shoulder, making it impossible for her to move.
"Hua Hua …"
Soo Soo cried out in despair. Huahua was only an eight year old child after all. She closed her eyes in fear. However, she did not let go of the sword in her hand. She allowed her father to hold onto the sword and thrust it down on Soo Soo.
"Yang Yinglong!"
A ghost-like scream came from the Heavenly King Palace. Chen Xiao's eyes were bloodshot and his whole body trembled. "Yang Yinglong, you are inhumane! You heartless dog. I, Chen Xiao, will not let you go even if I become a ghost! "
Yang Yinglong smiled and said, "You are my dog as a human. Do you think I will be afraid of you as a ghost?"
He took back the sword from his dazed daughter's hand and slowly pointed it at Chen Xiao's second son. He smiled and asked, "How does it feel to watch your whole family die in front of you? Don't worry. You will die more miserably than any of them. I promise! "
