As a result, the horse beneath him sped up considerably.
He was determined to catch Liu Er and settle this matter once and for all.
While running, he kept shooting arrows.
Though not hitting the mark every ti, he managed about fifty to sixty percent accuracy.
Thus, he traveled persistently along the way.
The number of people remaining by Liu Er’s side dwindled.
In contrast, on Feng Qi’s side, there were originally a dozen, and that number remained unchanged.
Without any battle damage whatsoever.
Instead, amidst this pursuit, the frenzy in his blood beca more apparent.
So he shouted loudly while pursuing.
"Bandit Liu Er, surrender quickly."
This made Liu Er so angry that his rage shot from his soles to the top of his head.
He had never been insulted like this before!
"Damn you, who do you think is the bandit? I’m Liu Er of the Northwest Army!"
In the past, anyone daring to provoke him like this would not have survived half a day.
But now, he could only swallow this anger.
Once back at the base, he was determined to personally lead people to grind Feng Qi and his n into dust and ashes.
After running over ten miles in one breath, Feng Qi realized this couldn’t continue.
He had to stop them quickly.
So he shouted to the soldiers behind him.
"Form the formation!"
"Yes!"
Then he saw three people imdiately ride their horses ahead of Feng Qi.
Joining hands tightly, they ford a line.
Feng Qi imdiately leaped onto his horse and, stepping on the shoulder of the person in the middle, drew a full bow.
This ti, two arrows were shot simultaneously.
Shooting straight towards Liu Er’s body.
The whistling wind behind him filled Liu Er with unprecedented fear.
He wanted to dodge but it was too late.
With two consecutive thuds, the sound of arrows piercing bone.
One arrow hit directly into his thigh, another pierced through his shoulder.
Longing in pain, he flipped over and fell off his horse.
"General!"
His followers naturally dismounted and rushed to support him.
They found blood gushing from the pierced shoulder, which couldn’t be stopped no matter what.
They carried no hemostatic powder with them.
So, if left unchecked, he might bleed to death.
At this mont, Liu Er showed so virtue and told the two beside him.
"Quick, go back and tell the commander that father’s and third brother’s plans were discovered, and they were dealt with by the Little Emperor. Tell my elder brother not to worry and to raise troops imdiately to rebel against the treacherous Little Emperor of the Liu family!"
"Yes!"
Even in impending death, he was thinking of Liu Family’s rebellion.
Seeing they were powerless to save Liu Er, the two pain-stakingly nodded and agreed.
They mounted their horses to leave but were intercepted by Feng Qi’s n who had caught up.
With a single slash each, they were executed on the spot.
Thus, this pursuit finally concluded.
Looking at the nearly lifeless Liu Er on the ground, Feng Qi thought of Master Liu.
These were generals who once rendered great service to Da Wei.
Surely they shouldn’t et such ends.
But why must they rebel?
Feng Qi did not know.
But as Emperor’s confidant, betrayal was impossible for him.
Before Liu Er could speak, he had already determined his cri!
"Rebel Liu Qijin, what else do you have to say?"
"Hahaha, rebel? Who are you to judge this general? Even if I die today, do you think the Dog Emperor’s reign will be stable?"
"Hmph, stubborn even on the brink of death!"
Indeed, the Liu Family all shared the sa nature.
From the Marquis of Northwest to Master Liu, from Imperial Consort Yi to Liu Er.
Each with bones as hard as their tongues.
Feng Qi did not wish to entangle with him any longer and ca up intending to bind him up and take him away.
But Liu Er knew there was no chance of survival.
Rather than leaving this life as an obstacle to Liu Family’s grand cause, it was better to die now.
He gritted his teeth and tore open the bleeding wound on his shoulder.
After such an act, the pain intensified and the bleeding increased rapidly.
Soon, his face showed the pallor of excessive blood loss.
"No one will obstruct the Liu Family’s road to kingship. All of you, just wait for my brother’s army to march into the capital, the whole clan will be dood."
Laughing eerily.
Then he gradually slumped down, and after a while, breathed his last.
Died from excessive blood loss.
Another corpse lay on the desolate ground.
Looking at it, Feng Qi truly felt the entire Liu Family might be cursed.
Why were they all unafraid of death, willing to sacrifice for Liu Family’s grand ambition?
If it were on the battlefield, for the people of Da Wei.
That spirit and attitude would admire Feng Qi.
But now, there was no trace of rcy in Feng Qi’s eyes.
Instead, he felt it was delusional.
Kneeling down to check Liu Er’s breath, confirming he was dead.
Feng Qi then spoke to his soldiers.
"Liu Er has t his end, now only Uncle Liu remains, and he has a stubborn streak. Stay alert! Understood?"
"Yes!"
The reason why Feng Qi said he was stubborn.
Firstly, he inherited most of the Marquis of Northwest’s abilities.
Secondly, he commanded the sixty thousand strong Northwest Army.
Even if Feng Qi did not want to admit it, he knew well.
Even if twenty thousand soldiers of the Imperial Armor Army were deployed, victory was uncertain.
Compared to them, the Northwest Army had more field experience.
After all, frequent harassnt by Da Jin provided them many battlefield opportunities.
Sixty thousand troops, to confront head-on.
Affirmatively, it was impossible.
Thinking it over, Jiang Huanqing’s strategy seed the most feasible.
Divide and conquer, that was the best approach.
"Let’s go, return to rendezvous with General Liang."
"Yes."
Liu Er’s remains were also lifted onto a horse.
He wasn’t as important as the Marquis of Northwest, so his death was trivial.
However, when the body was delivered to Liang Qingde.
Liang Qingde couldn’t help but be startled.
Feng Qi, however, imdiately cut off his path.
Liu Er dead, even if Liang Qingde had any thoughts, they were refuted.
How could Uncle Liu ever accept the person indirectly responsible for his brother’s death?
Reflecting on this, his loyalty to the Emperor’s faction beca clearer.
Facing Feng Qi he said.
"Of the Marquis’s three sons, the most outstanding are Uncle and the eldest grandson. Now the Marquis, Er, and Third Masters died by your hands, beware of this."
A friendly reminder.
For they were now on the sa ship.
If Uncle Liu capsized, his survival was uncertain.
Since Feng Qi dared to co, he had put life and death aside.
He nodded and said.
"Thanks General Liang for the reminder. I will be cautious. But for now, let’s consider how to settle the refugees, staying in the military camp is not a long-term solution."
