Chapter 739: There is only one person left, how can it be called an extermination of the whole famil
The fire was raging and the entire He Mansion was burned down.
Chu Ning stood in front of the He residence with an expressionless face.
At this time, the soldier stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, how should the bodies of the people in He's house be dealt with?"
Chu Ning raised his eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "Except for He Qingyun's body, all other bodies will be thrown into the fire."
"As for He Qingyun's body, send someone to hang it on the city wall. No one is allowed to take the body down without my order!"
"Yes!" the soldier responded and immediately threw the bodies of the He family into the sea of fire.
The way the bodies were handled was exactly the same as that of the killed Bingzhou soldiers and migrant workers.
Chu Ning wanted to use this method to avenge them!
He wanted to declare to all those who were loyal to him that as long as they were his, Chu Ning's, he would not treat them unfairly.
Even if he is killed, he will avenge them!
The raging fire shot up into the sky, frightening the people around.
Although the people heard the conversation between Chu Ning and He Qingyun, none of them expected that Chu Ning would actually destroy the He family.
But soon, someone shouted: "Well done!"
"They robbed His Royal Highness the King of Chu of refined salt, so they should be punished."
"He Qingyun even dared to kill an official appointed by the imperial court and a county governor. He is so bold and presumptuous."
"Your Highness the King of Chu is eliminating harm for the people!"
Amid the cheers of the people, Chu Ning lowered his head and remained silent.
He knew that burning down the He Mansion would definitely trigger a series of subsequent events.
Although he had a great time today, he had to deal with what was to come.
At the same time, the fourth prince Chu Ying was in a stalemate with Ran Ming in the city defense camp.
"Ran Ming, I know you have made great contributions and are good at martial arts, but this is the city defense camp, and you cannot do whatever you want!"
Chu Ying looked at the white horse cavalrymen who had already come out of the city defense camp and said coldly: "Put down the things you took from the camp. I will pretend that nothing happened."
But Ran Ming snorted coldly when he heard this: "Fourth Prince, I am here to search for refined salt under the order of His Royal Highness the King of Chu."
"These are all stolen goods and must be taken back!"
"Search? Stolen goods?"
Chu Ying raised his eyebrows, a look of surprise flashed across his face: "You mean, the city defense camp stole the refined salt?"
"Not bad!"
Ran Ming said with a righteous look on his face: "Lord Ni Heng and the transport team escorting refined salt came to Kyoto City, but unexpectedly they met He Qingshan and the city defense battalion outside the city."
"They killed you and the escorting laborers, and stole the refined salt, so His Royal Highness the King of Chu sent me to search."
After these words came out, Chu Ying's face looked a little ugly.
He thought Chu Ning would attack the city defense camp directly, so he could take the opportunity to capture the cavalry under Chu Ning's command.
But what no one expected was that Chu Ning did take action, but he didn't do it completely.
In order to do it, they even made up an excuse to steal refined salt!
His wishful thinking failed.
While thinking, Ran Ming looked impatient: "Fourth Prince, tell your men to get out of the way, or I will order a charge!"
At this moment, the White Horse Cavalry had already searched the city defense camp and found refined salt and were preparing to return.
After these words were spoken, Chu Ying's already ugly face became even gloomier.
"Are you threatening me?"
"I dare not say it is a threat, but I want to report to His Royal Highness the King of Chu. If anyone tries to stop me, don't blame the ruthless warhorse!"
Ran Ming's eyes widened, he raised his spear in his right hand, and shouted loudly: "Everyone prepare to charge!"
He didn't want to get entangled with the Fourth Prince here. He didn't know what the situation was at the He Mansion, so he had to rush there as soon as possible.
Chu Ying felt a little frightened when he saw Ran Ming's ferocious face and the white horse cavalry around him who looked ready to charge at any time.
These are the White Horse Cavalry, the elite troops of the Chu State.
If a real charge were to take place, the troops behind him would be unable to stop him.
But if he let Ran Ming leave like this, he would lose face.
Just when Chu Ying was in a dilemma, a soldier suddenly pointed at the flames rising into the sky in the distance and shouted:
"Your Highness, there's a fire over there!"
Chu Ning frowned, turned around and looked, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
That’s where the He Mansion is!
Chu Ning is not here, he must have gone to He Mansion, and the fire in He Mansion at this moment must have been caused by Chu Ning.
Chu Ning still couldn't keep his composure!
This way, the situation was very good for him.
All he needs to do is to stir up a dispute between Chu Ning and the prince, and he can reap the benefits.
Chu Ning, Chu Ning, you have been smart all your life, but in the end you fell into the trap.
Chu Ying laughed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he looked righteous and said in a deep voice:
"This is a vital area of Kyoto City. There must be something important going on with such a big fire. Everyone, follow me to put out the fire!"
At the order, Chu Ying took the lead, turned his horse around and headed straight for He's mansion.
Ran Ming, who was behind him, raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Go and support His Highness immediately!"
They had no idea about the battle situation in He Mansion and were worried about Chu Ning's safety, so they wanted to rush to He Mansion immediately.
In a moment, the two armies quickly headed towards He's mansion.
But halfway through their journey, they encountered cavalrymen on white horses carrying He Qingyun's body on the street.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Fourth Prince!" The crowd carried the corpse and retreated to the street to salute.
Chu Ying looked at the headless body and felt familiar with it. He couldn't help but ask, "Whose body is this?"
"Your Highness, this is He Qingyun's body!"
When these words came out, Chu Ying was overjoyed.
He dismounted from his horse, reached out and lifted up the disheveled head, revealing He Qingyun's horrified face.
Not long after his death, He Qingyun's head still retained the appearance he had before death, with his eyes wide open, as if he died with his eyes open!
"Did the King of Chu kill General He?" Chu Ying asked in a cold voice as he covered the head with a cloth.
The soldier lowered his head and dared not answer.
Chu Ying sneered, jumped on his horse, and continued to rush towards He's house.
Soon, a group of people came to He's house, but at this moment the fire was raging and had completely burned down He's house.
The blood all over the ground testifies to the fierce battle just now!
Chu Ying glanced at the scene, and then fixed his eyes on Chu Ning: "Good eighteenth brother, you actually wiped out the He family!"
Chu Ning said calmly: "Fourth brother is wrong."
"Ok?"
"The He family still has a Lord He, how can you say that they were wiped out?"
"You...what do you mean by this? Do you still want to take action against Lord He?" Chu Ying pretended to be surprised.
Chu Ning stared at him coldly: "Fourth brother, why do you have to pretend? Isn't this exactly what you want?"
"You just wanted to stir up a dispute between the king and the prince. Now it's your wish!"
"However, once things get beyond your control, I will definitely drag you into it. Don't even think about staying out of it!"
After saying that, Chu Ning waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go back home!"
At the command, the white horse cavalry immediately gathered and quickly left with Chu Ning.
Chu Ying stared at Chu Ning's back and sneered, "Eighteenth brother, you are so arrogant. I want to see how you can drag me down with you!"
"Today you have exterminated the entire He family. This is such a heinous crime. I will definitely report you to my father!"
The conflict between the two sides has been exposed, and now it depends on who has more sophisticated means.
