Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

Han Ye retreated again and again, and when he had no way to retreat, he began to curse Pang Lu.

"You villain! You were the one who betrayed me back then, and you're the one who deceived me today. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Pang Lu sneered, "Haha, Lord Han! You're still slandering me even when you're about to die. You were blinded by money and felt guilty towards Lord Gao. But now you've come to your senses and want to die to atone for your sins."

He looked at Gao Fei with gratitude in his eyes: "Master Gao, you are so righteous that you allowed me to survive until now! You let me see the end of you, a bastard."

Pang Lu's tone became increasingly intense, and he finally burst into a curse: "I am indeed a greedy villain, but you! You are a beast worse than pigs and dogs, you don't deserve to be a human being!"

Han Ye had been scolded so much in the past two days that hearing someone scold him now was nothing. He laughed heartily, "Hahaha! Now that things have come to this, you can kill me or chop me up as you please!"

"But before I die, I have one unfinished business!" Han Ye looked at Gao Fei with a serious face. "I joined the army with the Marquis. Before you showed up, I was always number one in the army. When I competed with you for the rank of lieutenant, I witnessed the best marksmanship in the world!"

Gao Fei always had an indifferent expression on his face.

Han Ye continued, "I've studied your marksmanship for years, but I've never had the chance to challenge you in a head-on duel. Today, before I die, I want to have one final duel with you. It's a battle of life and death!"

Pang Lu said to Gao Fei, "Master Gao, don't listen to his nonsense. Let's just surround and kill him!"

Just when Pang Lu ordered to surround and kill Han Ye, he was stopped by Gao Fei.

Gao Fei picked up the spear from the hand of a soldier beside him and it fell at Han Ye's feet. Han Ye picked up the spear without hesitation and bowed with his fists!

Gao Fei also clasped his fists and bowed, "Please!"

The saying "the spear is the king of all weapons" is absolutely true! As an ancient and classic weapon, it represents the perfect combination of strength, speed, and skill. While the sword is often mentioned in novels, in reality, the most commonly used weapons in military campaigns are the knife and the spear.

……

Han Ye took the first step, stabilizing his lower body and sprinting with his gun raised.

Gao Fei remained motionless, waving the butt of his gun to gently block Han Ye's charge. Gao Fei raised the butt of his gun, and Han Ye dodged it with his head. Then Gao Fei followed suit and slashed down, but Han Ye deflected each of his attacks.

Gao Fei danced the spear in his hand tightly, blocking, grabbing, stabbing and smashing incessantly.

Han Ye only felt a flash before his eyes, and Gao Fei's spear was already stabbing at him like a poisonous snake. He resisted hastily, but was forced to retreat again and again by the force of Gao Fei's spear.

Gao Fei's spear skills were sharp and tricky, and each move contained endless killing intent. Han Ye secretly groaned in his heart. He didn't expect Gao Fei's strength to be so strong. He was actually powerless in front of him.

Han Ye gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist Gao Fei's attack.

Gao Fei's shooting skills are varied, sometimes steady and cautious, sometimes violent and aggressive, especially a big sweep. If the soldiers had not crouched down in time, they would probably have died on the spot.

Gao Fei shouted "Wow!"

A burst of force injured Han Ye's left hand, and while Han Ye was holding the gun with one hand, he stabbed him twice in a row. Whenever Han Ye wanted to support the gun with his left hand, he would be attacked by Gao Fei's burst of force.

Finally, Han Ye could no longer hold on and gave up resistance. Gao Fei held the gun to Han Ye's throat, and with just a little force, Han Ye was instantly killed.

"Hahaha, it feels great. The captain's spear skills are still as good as before! It is a great honor for me to die under such exquisite spear skills! I have no regrets in dying." Han Ye closed his eyes, waiting for death to come, but he maintained this posture for a long time, and Gao Fei did not say anything.

Gao Fei put away his gun, pointed at Han Ye and ordered Pang Lu to tie him up: "Tie him up... Tie him up... Tie him up!"

Pang Lu suggested that Gao Fei kill Han Ye directly.

"Master Gao, if Han Ye is not eliminated, there may be trouble in the future!"

Gao Fei wrote in the notebook: "The Tongzhi is still in the Water Defense Camp. Han Ye's life or death depends on him!"

Pang Lu said nothing more and found a prison van for Gao Fei. Han Ye was tied up in a daze and put into an iron prison van in front of everyone.

After a simple farewell, Gao Fei braved the darkness and wanted to take Han Ye back to the water defense camp overnight.

……

The Gaoyang County Magistrate was the most panicked at this moment. Han Ye had also been captured, and now all he had to do was escape. He had to take all his belongings and several female relatives with him. He also had a son who was studying in the provincial capital, but now he could not take care of them. He drove his carriage and tried to slip away through a secret passage.

Unexpectedly, Pang Lu's men had been waiting for a long time. Although they could not arrest the county magistrate directly, they could still put him under house arrest.

I wanted to use my authority to get those soldiers to move aside, but one soldier said, "We are soldiers! We only obey military orders, not county magistrates! You are old, don't ask for trouble!"

Only when the knife was drawn did the county magistrate return home obediently.

……

On the way back to the Water Defense Camp, Han Ye sat quietly in the prison van without saying a word.

Gao Fei would glance at him from time to time to prevent any accidents, until Han Ye's snoring was heard.

After being chased for two consecutive days, Han Ye was exhausted. Now that he was caught, he relaxed and slept soundly.

The prison van was shaking all the way, and Gao Fei was vigilantly observing the movements around him. However, Han Ye seemed to have really fallen asleep, and his snoring filled the entire car.

The night's journey was exhausting, so Gao Hou decided to take a break. He found a safe spot and stopped the car. Han Ye was still sound asleep, and Gao Hou sat quietly beside him.

Just then, a breeze blew by, bringing the sound of footsteps in the distance. Gao Fei immediately became alert and picked up his spear to prepare for possible danger.

A hunter came out of the bushes with a short spear in his hand. When he saw that they were soldiers, he was so frightened that he ran away. After being caught by a cavalryman, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"What have you done wrong? Tell the truth. Why do you run away when you see us?" the cavalry asked loudly.

The hunter explained, "I didn't do anything wrong. I thought the general was coming to capture men, so I got scared and ran away!"

Seeing this, Gao Fei quickly patted the cavalryman on the shoulder, signaling him to let the hunter go. The hunter thanked him repeatedly and disappeared into the night.

Hunting in the forest during the hottest days of summer is the most dangerous. You can imagine how miserable the people's lives are, as they have to take such great risks to maintain their lives.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei knocked the iron cage hard with a wooden stick, which made a loud noise and woke Han Ye up.

Gao Fei ordered his attendants to wake Han Ye as soon as he fell asleep and not let him get too comfortable. Han Ye was woken two or three times during the journey, and in the end he could only sit in the prison van with heavy eyelids lifted, staring blankly.

……

When they arrived at the water defense camp, it was already dawn and Zhang Jingwei had been waiting for them for a long time.
