Since When Did This King Have You, the Son of a Famous General, as My Little Brother?
At the border of Jiannan Road.
The panicked refugees finally regained some calmness.
The bandits who had suddenly rushed out were also dealt with by the soldiers in black armor who arrived in time and claimed to be the soldiers of the Yizhou Army.
Now, other than Hou Liang, the leader of the Mountain Bandits, who was known as the Mountain King, who had been captured alive, the rest of the Mountain Bandits had all been annihilated.
Five thousand corpses were piled up together and were currently being burned by the raging fire.
In ancient times, burning corpses was one of the best ways to deal with them. After all, if there were too many corpses, if they were not dealt with in time, it would cause an epidemic and cause more people to die.
Therefore, in order to avoid these problems, burning it on the spot became the simplest method.
Over 5,000 corpses were piled up like a small mountain. At this moment, the blazing fire was also extremely spectacular.
Of course, this spectacular sight was only for the refugees who were venting their hatred. To Hou Liang, this simply made his hands and feet go cold, and he was incomparably terrified.
Hou Liang had originally followed his plan and rushed out to kill the commoners. He had already made up his mind that he would personally kill a thousand or eight hundred people today to train his killing skills.
However, who knew that not long after he led the Mountain Bandits into the crowd and had not killed two people, he suddenly heard a thunderous sound of hooves approaching from afar.
At first, he thought that his father had come early, which made him spit out in anger. After all, he hadn't started killing yet.
However, when he turned around and saw the soldiers in black armor, even their horses were covered in black armor. Their bodies were filled with an incomparably cold aura, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.
That was because they were not his father's elites at all.
Hou Junji's troops were all clad in red armor, so…was there a problem?
Hou Liang immediately grew nervous, but before he could react, the army had already charged into his ranks. They wielded large sabers and began to slash and kill.
His men had no way to resist this sudden flood of steel.
It had only been fifteen minutes, and all his subordinates had been killed except for him.
And he himself had been captured alive.
All of this made him tremble in fear, and his entire body trembled as if he was trembling.
Looking at the burning flames and smelling the nauseating smell of blood, his face was extremely pale.
"Speak, who are you?"
At this moment, the only person in white armor walked over.
This person held a long spear in his hand, and his gaze was like lightning as he stared at Hou Liang. Hou Liang felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious tiger. If Hou Liang didn't behave himself, he would definitely be torn apart in the next moment.
This feeling made him take a step back.
" I, I, I'll confess, I'll confess everything. I'm from Yizhou. I'm the King of Shu's man. It was the King of Shu who sent us to pretend to be mountain bandits to kill these refugees. Then, the King of Shu would send people to save these people, so that the people would trust and be more grateful to the King of Shu.”
Hou Liang still didn't know that Hou Junji had been killed, so he still harbored hope that Hou Junji would quickly come to save him. As a result, he had followed the Imperial Court's orders to frame Li Ke.
As expected, when the surrounding commoners heard Hou Liang's words, their expressions changed drastically.
Pa!
However, who knew that at this moment, the person in white armor suddenly slapped Hou Liang to the ground.
He said coldly," How dare you frame His Highness the King of Shu when you are about to die? I am Xue Rengui, the personal guard of the King of Shu. His Highness the King of Shu learned that the mountain bandits were rebelling. In order to protect the people, he asked me to come and save them!”
"His Highness the King of Shu loves his people like his own children. How can you slander him like this?”
Xue Rengui turned around and looked at the panic-stricken commoners, saying,""Everyone, don't believe the words of this dog thief. If he was really sent by His Highness the King of Shu, why would he speak the truth at this time?”
"Therefore, he is deliberately slandering His Highness the King of Shu because His Highness the King of Shu has foiled his scheme. He bears a grudge and wants His Highness the King of Shu to lose his reputation. Think about it, His Highness the King of Shu has done good deeds. In order to let everyone live, he has given out porridge and done so many good deeds. How can he be such a sinister person?”
Li Ke's reputation as a wise man had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the commoners. Furthermore, the commoners were not stupid. They knew that if Hou Liang was really Li Ke's man, he would definitely not say Li Ke's name at this time. After all, Li Ke's men were all around. There was no need for him to tell the truth.
Therefore, they quickly understood that Hou Liang was deliberately smearing Li Ke, smearing the hero in their hearts.
All of this made them extremely furious!
"You really deserve to die. His Highness the King of Shu is such a virtuous and kind person. You actually framed His Highness the King of Shu.”
"That's right, kill him!"
"Your Highness the King of Shu cannot be slandered!"
"Why are you slandering His Highness the King of Shu like this? His Highness the King of Shu is such a good person. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?”
The commoners roared angrily. Their voices spread from one to ten, then to a hundred. Soon, these tens of thousands of refugees were all shouting angrily.
All of this caused Hou Liang to be greatly shocked.
No, this was completely wrong. The reaction of the people was completely different from what he had expected.
" Don't be fooled by Li Ke. I am Li Ke's man. I am Li Ke's man who wants to kill you-" Hou Liang shouted again.
"Ha! How could this king not know that this king had such a stupid subordinate like you?”
At this moment, an extremely indifferent voice suddenly sounded.
At this moment, the commoners noticed that a handsome man in a white python robe was slowly walking over.
Seeing this, Xue Rengui and the others hurriedly bowed to Li Ke and said,"Greetings, Your Highness!"
"He is…His Highness the King of Shu?"
"Is it really His Highness the King of Shu?"
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving our lives!"
"Thank you for taking us in, Your Highness!"
When the commoners heard Xue Rengui and the others addressing him, they were incomparably surprised and bowed to Li Ke.
After so many things, they were really grateful to Li Ke.
Seeing this, Li Ke gently waved his hand at the commoners. Then, he walked in front of Hou Liang, who had his eyes wide open, and chuckled,"Hou Liang, you said you are this king's man? But why doesn't this king remember that you, the son of Hou Junji, are this king's man? When did you join this king? Tell me, let this king hear.”
Hou Liang watched Li Ke who was smiling warmly. Watching Li Ke take out his father's head as a stool and sit on it, Hou Liang felt as if he was struck by lightning as he was completely dumbfounded...
