Chapter 196 Sending the King’s Uncle on His Journey
About two miles to the right of the post station is a low hill. A large group of birds are circling in the sky, not daring to land.

Li Hu guessed correctly, the Kong family was hiding here.

The young man named Kong was wearing a fox fur coat, with a sword hanging from his waist. He was holding a monocular telescope in his hand, pointing it towards the post station, watching the battle outside the post station.

Behind him were well-dressed men holding steel knives, wearing night clothes and covering their faces with black cloth, leaving only a pair of cold eyes.

There was a war horse lying beside each person.

To his left, a man in plain clothes was also holding a telescope, looking at the battlefield, and said, “The formation of the government troops has stabilized. If they continue to fight like this, the White Lotus Society will be wiped out.”

The young man surnamed Kong hummed, still paying attention to the battle in front of the post station.

The sounds of musketry, roars of killing, and the clash of weapons echoed over the post station.

The musketeers hid behind the prison van. When the gunshots rang out, the White Lotus members fell one after another.

The morale of the soldiers in the patrol camp was greatly boosted, and they rushed forward one after another to fight against the White Lotus Sect members who were charging towards them.

Eunuch Huang and Zhou Kui felt much more at ease and gradually became more excited.

There were flashes of swords and blood everywhere!
There were fewer and fewer White Lotus Sect members around, and fewer and fewer soldiers in the patrol camp.

The man spoke again: “The government troops already have 100 to 200 more people than the White Lotus Sect. If this continues, I estimate that only 300 people will survive. One against three, we don’t have much chance of winning.”

The young man surnamed Kong said: “I know.”

The White Lotus Sect members obviously couldn’t hold on any longer and began to retreat.

The young man surnamed Kong put down his telescope, patted the neck of the warhorse beside him, and the horse slowly stood up.

The young man surnamed Kong led his warhorse down the mountain, and the man and the man in black followed, leading their respective warhorses.

Climbing onto the horse, the young man surnamed Kong untied the reins of the warhorse, and the horse immediately raised its head and let out a long neigh!
The young man surnamed Kong drew out the long sword at his waist and swung it with a cold light: “Kill!”

Countless war horses carrying the men in black galloped towards the post station.

The White Lotus Sect was defeated, and its members were chopped down one by one.

The White Lotus leader, whose hair was disheveled, was seriously injured and surrounded by several soldiers.

“Get out of the way!” the captain of the patrol camp shouted.

The soldiers all stopped where they were.

The captain of the patrol camp held the hilt of the knife and walked towards the leader of the White Lotus Sect with a grim smile on his face.

The White Lotus leader swallowed his saliva and clenched the steel knife in his hand.

The captain of the patrol battalion swung his sword at him, and the White Lotus leader swung his sword at his head. There was a “clang” sound, and a flash of fire from the collision of weapons passed by.

The White Lotus leader was seriously injured and had much less strength, and the steel knife in his hand fell to the ground.

The captain of the patrol battalion laughed wildly, leaped up, and attacked the unarmed White Lotus leader left and right repeatedly.

The White Lotus leader lost his weapon and had to jump and dodge.

The soldiers shouted like thunder: “Okay!”

The captain of the patrol battalion brandished his sword with great vigor, forcing the White Lotus leader to gasp for breath and be at a loss where to turn.

When Eunuch Huang saw this, he smiled and said to Zhou Kui, “I never thought that the King’s uncle would have such a brave man under his command!”

How could Zhou Kui not know that he was making fun of him? But he still felt very comfortable and laughed too.

“Sir!” The voice of the confidant beside him trembled, “Look!”

Following his gaze, the smile on Zhou Kui’s face froze.

The sound of horse hooves was rapid, dust was flying, and the war horses were galloping like lightning.

The soldiers of the patrol battalion who were chasing the White Lotus Sect became confused and began to flee back towards the post station!
Two legs cannot outrun four legs. The Kong family’s cavalry instantly crashed into the fleeing crowd, and screams were heard everywhere.

The heads of the soldiers in the patrol camp flew up as the sharp swords swept past them!
“Run!” The captain of the patrol camp yelled and was about to turn around and escape, but suddenly he felt a pain in his waist. He looked down and saw a dagger stabbed into his waist.

The White Lotus leader laughed loudly, and the hand holding the hilt exerted a little more force, stabbing it hard. At this moment, he felt a chill on his neck, and then his head flew up, and he could even see the head of the patrol battalion commander flying in the air, and then his eyes went black.

The two heads collided in mid-air, then fell to the ground, and finally rolled together!
The battle situation was reversed in an instant, and the soldiers of the patrol camp were the ones who fled frantically, while the White Lotus Sect members who survived by chance followed closely behind the cavalry and fought back.
The ground was littered with corpses of soldiers from the patrol battalion!
At this time, they didn’t care whether the other party would set fire or not. Eunuch Huang and Zhou Kui had already led their men to retreat into the post station the moment the cavalry rushed up.

Dozens of White Lotus members who had managed to survive cheered thunderously, then walked towards the prison van, intending to release the imprisoned Qinglong Hall Master and Baihu Hall Master.

Just then, the cavalry surrounded them and started hacking at them with their swords without saying a word.

Those White Lotus members were chopped to the ground one after another.

There was deathly silence inside and outside the post station!

There was a sound of horse hooves, and a young man named Kong rode over on horseback, with a black cloth covering his face.

Looking at Zhou Kui and others hiding in the post station, a sneer appeared in his eyes. He slowly looked at the prison car and then waved his hand.

A dozen men in black dismounted from their horses, walked over with knives in hand, and stabbed the Qinglong Hall Master and others in the prison van. The Qinglong Hall Master and others, whose mouths were blocked by rags, could not even utter a scream.

Drops of blood dripped from the prison van onto the ground.

Eunuch Huang’s heart was bleeding. Those were not White Lotus prisoners, but Jinyiwei from the Northern Pacification Division, the killers he arranged. He didn’t expect these people to play by their own rules!

Here, Li Hu cursed directly, how could this little bastard be so mean! He stabbed them all to death without any moral integrity, and Shui Rong’s people would definitely not show up!

“They set a fire.” The Mongolian general behind him whispered.

Li Hu sighed and let Shui Rong escape again.

“Let’s go and kill someone!” Li Hu turned and walked away.
The young man surnamed Kong shouted loudly: “Burn! Burn them to death!”

The post station was already ablaze.

There was a noise coming from behind the closed door:

“Fight!”

“Yes! Fight with them!”

“Kill one to get back your investment, kill two to make a killing!”

With a loud “boom”, the gate of the post station collapsed.

“Kill!” “Kill!” The remaining dozens of patrol battalion soldiers gripped their swords tightly and rushed out with red eyes!
Eunuch Huang sighed, picked up a sword on the ground, wiped the blood off the sword with his clothes, and said to Zhou Kui: “Please go on your way, Uncle!” Then he knelt on one knee and raised the sword high with both hands.

Zhou Kui’s brain buzzed, and he was stunned for a long time before he said tremblingly: “I, I don’t, no, I can’t die”

Eunuch Huang: “Please, uncle, get on the road!”

Zhou Kui’s legs went limp and he sat on the ground. He suddenly laughed like crazy, then started crying again. He cried and wailed, “I don’t want to die. I’m the uncle of the second prince. I haven’t seen the second prince inherit the throne yet.”

“Useless!” Eunuch Huang stood up suddenly and said to the few surviving eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department, “Send the Emperor’s uncle to his death!”

Several guards from the Imperial Household Department looked at each other, responded in varying voices, “Yes,” and walked forward.

Two guards lifted Zhou Kui up, untied the jade belt from his waist, and put it around his neck. As the belt tightened, Zhou Kui’s breathing became rapid. He seemed to hear the sound of his neck breaking, and then his head tilted and he died.

Eunuch Huang sighed again, raised the sword to his neck, and said to the guards, “Throw my body and the body of the uncle into the fire later.”

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves that shook the earth and sky came from outside, followed by thunderous cheers.

“Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming!”

Eunuch Huang shuddered violently, then slowly turned around to look. Li Hu was the first to lead the cavalry into the battlefield, and the rebels were beheaded one by one!
Several guards from the Imperial Household Department shouted excitedly, “General Li is here!”

Eunuch Huang laughed bitterly. God had played a huge joke on him. Zhou Kui was dead, died in his hands. The Second Prince would not let him go.

Thinking of this, he said to several guards from the Imperial Household Department, “Report what happened here to His Majesty, and then ask our old ancestor to let you leave the capital, the farther the better.” After saying that, he looked up to the sky with a long sigh, raised his sword and tightened it around his neck!
Several guards from the Imperial Household Department were shocked and stood there in a daze, not moving a muscle.

The shouting and screaming outside gradually stopped. Several guards came to their senses, looked at each other, and walked out together.

After a while, Li Hu walked in slowly, looked at the body of Eunuch Huang and then at the body of Zhou Kui. That was good, so he didn’t have to do it himself.

Li Hu sighed, Eunuch Huang is such a good man!
