The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 621: Death of Zhang Huailiang

What made Cheng Huailiang even more frightened was that Wu Qing and the soldiers he brought with him seemed to be oblivious to this.

Although Cheng Huailiang was a playboy, he had been in the army for a long time. From the agile postures of the opponents, it was easy to tell that they all had the shadow of military soldiers, and their positions blocked his possibility of escape.

Cheng Huailiang was confused for a moment. What did this mean?
Until now, Cheng Huailiang had not thought that these people were here to kill him. Finally, he saw Wu Qing and the other party meet together, and it was obvious that they were on the same road. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. He was shocked and realized the danger of his situation.

The other party obviously had bad intentions and was masked, and he exuded undisguised murderous intent, and it was obvious that he wanted to kill him.

Coincidentally, although he was wearing armor today, he did not carry any weapons. The road ahead was blocked, and there was a torrent behind him. Even if he was a good swimmer, it would be difficult to escape once he fell into the water, not to mention that he was a complete landlubber.

He is wearing armor weighing dozens of thousand weights. If he falls into the water, he will be dead for sure!

"What do you want to do? Do you know who I am?"

Cheng Huailiang couldn't figure out how he had offended such a strong man. In a panic, he said, "My father is the Duke of Lu and the General of the Right Guard, Cheng Yaojin. I am the General of the Left Guard, a fourth-rank officer of the court. Do you want to rebel?"

"Wu Qing, killing an officer without authorization is a capital crime. The entire family will be exterminated. Don't you want to live?"

"Hahaha, General Cheng, since we have gotten along well during this period of time, let me personally give you a ride today!"

Wu Qing had been feeling endlessly depressed and aggrieved in the past few years. When he saw Cheng Huailiang, the second-generation son of a general, begging him like a desperate dead dog, the burden that had been in his chest for years was suddenly released.

"There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you break in. Who told you to go somewhere else? You chose to come with the Zuotun Guards and block our way. If you don't die, who will?" Wu Qing said happily. After enduring for so long, he can finally let go and do it.

A burly man in front of him had a cold look in his eyes and said angrily: "We killed the General of the Left Guard."

Chang Sheng did not stop talking after he finished speaking. He clenched his fists and pounced towards Cheng Huailiang like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Chang Sheng is older than Cheng Huailiang. When he was in Zhongshan County in his early years, he was a famous general. In recent years, he has been fighting with Liang Shidu and the Turks in the border area of ​​Yunzhong. Not only has his martial arts not been wasted, but they have become more profound.

On the other hand, Cheng Huailiang, relying on his family background, flirted with people in Beijing every day, and mixed with the rich and powerful. Most of the fourth-rank military positions were promoted by family connections. In the past few years, he followed Cheng Yaojin to the frontier for some time, and he did not change the style of the second generation of generals in the army.

Although he learned a lot of martial arts under Cheng Yaojin's scolding, Cheng Yaojin was afraid that his son might make a mistake, so he did not dare to let him lead the army alone. Without experiencing the battlefield of blood and fire, in the eyes of people like Chang Sheng, he was nothing more than a bunch of tricks.

In addition, he was wearing Ming Guang armor weighing dozens of kilograms. Compared with Chang Sheng who was dressed in black tights, he was like a clumsy pig encountering a nimble wild wolf. After just a few encounters, Cheng Huailiang was exhausted and panting.

Cheng Huailiang was obviously unable to hold on as he was not very skilled at defending. He kept retreating, begging for mercy with the idea that a wise man should not suffer a loss in front of him.

"Brother, we have no grudges in the past or in the present, so why do we have to force each other to death? If I have really offended you, just tell me and I will apologize. My father is the general of the Right Guard, and he can afford any price. Can you spare my life?"

The more Chang Sheng listened, the colder his eyes became. He had risen to such a position by fighting on the battlefield with his sword and gun, and he didn't know how many times he had died. In the border areas, there was no officer who could be promoted to the fourth or fifth rank as useless as Cheng Huailiang. These powerful people ate, drank and had fun every day, and they were promoted faster than him.

As if venting his anger, Chang Sheng moved forward and kicked Cheng Huailiang hard in the air.

Cheng Huailiang was hit so hard that he flew backwards.

Suddenly, a flash of fear appeared in his eyes, and he found himself in the air, with the canal water flowing endlessly under his feet.

"No!"

Cheng Huailiang screamed miserably in the air, his hands constantly grasping in the air, and then with a "bang", he fell into the waves, like a huge rock falling into the water, splashing huge water, and sank without even a bubble.

Large bubbles kept floating on the water surface, but were soon washed away without a trace by the rushing water.

Chang Sheng kicked Cheng Huailiang into the water, and stood on the shore with Wu Qing for a while, until they were sure that Cheng Huailiang had no chance of survival. Wu Qing turned around, looked at the horse that Cheng Huailiang rode standing by the canal, and said to the people behind him: "Clean up the footprints on the ground, and then drive the horse into the water. You leave first, and let me handle this!"

Chang Sheng nodded, and together with a few others pushed the warhorse ridden by Cheng Huailiang into the water. Then he swiftly picked up a bunch of branches from the woods nearby, and swept them on the ground to completely remove all traces of the fight between the two.

Finally, Chang Sheng waved his hand, and several men in black went into the woods beside the canal and disappeared.

"Ma Si'er, come with me into the water and pretend to be rescuing someone!"

Wu Qing called the confidant over, and the two of them carefully climbed down along the breach, rolling their bodies into the mire, getting themselves covered in mud. At this moment, the sound of a large group of horse hooves came from afar, and Cheng Huailiang's confidants and soldiers in the barracks also rushed over.

Everyone saw only two horses on the shore, but no human figures. Just as they were wondering, a fierce howl came from the waterside: "Help, help! The general has fallen into the water."

"What."

When the soldiers heard this, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They dismounted from their horses and walked to the breach. They saw Wu Qing and a soldier salvaging something in the water.

The three of them came here together. Wu Qing and the soldier were by the water. Is there any need to ask who fell into the water?
"Major General"

Among Cheng Huailiang's confidants, the leader was Cheng You, a retainer brought from the Cheng family. Upon hearing this, his face changed, his whole body trembled, and he roared wildly, then jumped into the water without hesitation with a "bang".

Afterwards, the Cheng family's generals jumped into the water like dumplings, without caring about the fast current. If they left the shore, they might be washed away.

Wu Qing was a little shocked by this scene, but he did not hesitate and fished in the water with a sad face. More and more soldiers came over and took off their belts. Some people went to the nearby woods to cut down long trees and threw them into the water to use as handholds.

Finally, after working for half an incense stick of time, Cheng Huailiang, who had fallen into the water, was dragged up by everyone. However, at this time, Cheng Huailiang's body was swollen, his face was pale, and his mouth was filled with a lot of mud. He was already dead.

"General, Wu Qing is useless. Did Wu Qing kill you?" Seeing this, Wu Qing screamed, threw himself on Cheng Huailiang, and began to cry bitterly.

"what"

Cheng You, who was so exhausted that he was only half dead at this time, roared angrily, rushed forward with red eyes, kicked Wu Qing, and attacked hysterically and madly: "Why are both of you fine, but my major general died, what happened, tell me!"

By the time everyone stepped forward and pulled the two apart, Wu Qing's eyes were already blue, his face was red and swollen, and blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth.

Wu Qing looked distraught, as if he were dead, staring at Cheng Huailiang's body in a daze.

At this time, many officials even from the main camp rushed over. They saw that the canal in front of them had been washed away for hundreds of feet, and that the General of the Left Tunwei Yifu, who was appointed by the court, had died in front of them. They were all panicked for a moment and began to ask questions at once.

Wu Qing sobbed and said, "Just now General Cheng came here on horseback, and I was chasing him. When General Cheng came to the breach, he might have been distracted by the huge breach, so he rode too far forward. General Cheng was already a big, strong man, and he was wearing armor weighing dozens of kilograms today."

"The water was flowing fast, and the roots of the embankment were soaked and loosened, unable to withstand such a heavy load. The land where General Cheng's horse was located suddenly fell into the river, and General Cheng fell into the river with his horse. By the time my guards and I arrived, it was too late."

"At first, I was able to catch General Cheng, but he had fallen too far, and he was wearing such heavy armor. I used all my strength to pull him up, but I couldn't. He almost dragged me down. If the guards hadn't pulled me down, I'm afraid I would have drowned in the water."

Well.
Everyone looked at the steep soil at the breach that was like a cliff. As they were watching, suddenly, a large piece of soil left the shore, fell into the water with a splash, and splashed a large amount of water. Everyone was so scared that they took a few steps back to a safe place.

Everyone looked at Cheng Huailiang's body lying on the shore. He was wearing a set of shiny armor, tightly bound on a belly full of water. Many people secretly complained, "We are only repairing the canal and not fighting a war, so why the hell are you wearing such flashy armor?"
But Wu Qing and Cheng You knew in their hearts that Cheng Huailiang was afraid that when someone from the capital came to announce the decree, he would not be able to show off his power when he went to Chang'an to ask for a reward.

After hearing what Wu Qing said, they thought about how Cheng Huailiang had rushed over impatiently after learning about the breach at the Dragon King Temple, and Wu Qing was unable to catch up with him. Such a thing was indeed something no one had expected.

There were no suspicious points at the scene, and Wu Qing's explanation was reasonable. In addition, after Cheng Huailiang arrived at the Zuotunwei Army, Wu Qing was the first to surrender to him, carefully currying favor with him and being loyal to him. Moreover, the two had never had any intersection before, let alone any hatred.
