Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 698 Li Hao of Fanwai (2)

  Li Hao made a ruthless attack, and in one fell swoop all the military men who were watching the excitement were deterred. One by one, they shrank rapidly.

   The injuries of the seven soldiers vary from mild to severe, and the least one has a blue nose and a swollen face. The heaviest, his legs were broken, and he kept screaming while holding the broken leg.

   Soon, a military doctor came to hear the news and put medicine on the bones of the military man with a broken leg.

  It was freezing cold outside the tent, so they had to be carried into the tent. Several injured soldiers were afraid of being beaten, so they bravely carried the one with the broken leg in. Zhang Erlang, who had lost two teeth and had blood on his face, gritted his teeth and entered the military tent.

  Li Hao sat in the corner, his face was gloomy, and he spat out a few words: "Stay away from me in the future. Otherwise, next time I will kill him!"

   That icy coldness made the spine shiver.

  Zhang Erlang wanted to snort, and when he met Li Hao's eyes full of suffocation, all his courage was gone, and he squeezed out a hum from his nose.

  Li Hao turned around and closed his eyes.

   At this time, the face of his dead younger brother Li Chang flashed in his mind, and soon it was replaced by the pale face of Emperor Yongjia and the face of the eldest prince.

   Finally, there is a pair of figures standing side by side.

   One was wearing a dragon robe and the other a phoenix. The two stood hand in hand, smiling at each other.

   This scene is obviously a picture he imagined, but it is extraordinarily clear and true.

   The hatred of taking his wife is never shared. His enemy has been enthroned as the new emperor, holding the imperial power, and is the honor of the ninety-five. He has fallen to this point, and there is no possibility of turning over again.

   Li Jing could have given him death, but he didn't. Leaving him alive and exiling him to the frontier army had no good intentions at all. This is to make his life worse than death, and let him live in piercing remorse every day.

  Lu Mingyu, is this what you would like to see too?

   You gave your heart and lungs to Li Jing's life and death, how indifferent and ruthless to me!

   That familiar and distant name surging silently between Li Hao's lips and teeth. Like a sharp sword, it pierced deeply into Li Hao's chest. It was as if blood was gurgling out.

It broke our hearts.

   That night, a slightly injured soldier approached quietly, wanting to avenge the day.

   Li Hao, who seemed to be sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, his hands like a gust of wind, and he grabbed the military man's neck. The force was so great that in just a short while, the military man's face turned purple and he was almost out of breath.

   Except for the one who couldn't move with a broken leg, the others were awakened and shouted angrily, "Let go!"

   "This is in the military camp. You dare to kill people! This is angering the military law, and you will be beheaded!"

  Li Hao's eyes were red, like a wolf that devoured people in the dark night. The subordinates continued to exert their strength, strangling the person out of breath.

   Li Hao let go, and the soldier under him fell to the ground with a thud, without breath. Li Hao's red eyes swept across the horrified faces of the soldiers: "Whoever doesn't want to live can try again."

   Even Zhang Erlang was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

   They all fought in battle, killed people, and saw blood. This is the first time I've seen someone who kills their comrades like this.

   That handsome face is like Shura who is demanding his life, who would dare to take another look.

   Those who can run and move have all run out.

   Only the soldier with the broken leg was left unable to move, facing the blue-white face that was strangled to death.

   The sleeping commander Shen was quickly alerted, and he secretly thought that he was not good, so he hurried over.

  Li Hao sat in the military tent with a blank expression. In front of him was a lifeless corpse, and a soldier with a broken leg who was crying and howling.

   Commander Shen frowned and opened his mouth to say, "In the military camp, it's okay to fight occasionally, but to kill someone by mistake is no small matter, and you will be punished severely. Young Master Li, why should you find this unhappiness for yourself."

  Li Hao didn't move, and said coldly: "It's up to you to do what you want, let them get out."

   Commander Shen: "..."

  According to military regulations, it is to be beheaded.

  But this Young Master Li, even if he is down and out, is of the blood of the heavenly family. He is a frontier army commander, how dare he attack Li Hao. If it reaches the ears of the emperor in the capital, will he still die?

   It’s not okay to not deal with it. As soon as this kind of thing spread, everyone didn't follow the military regulations, and the military was completely in chaos.

   Commander Shen took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Someone, take Li Gongzi away."

  …

   On the second day, Li Hao was sent to a border town a hundred miles away.

  This is a small border town, the walls are bumpy, neither high nor thick. The Tatars outside the customs visit at least two or three times a year.

   Young and active people are unwilling to stay, and only the old and the weak are left in the small town. There were more than 100 frontier troops guarding the city. Half of them were wounded.

   The other half, like Li Hao, was sent here for breaking military regulations. Maybe one day the Tatars will rush over on horseback and give their lives.

   The first month is just out now, and the weather is getting warmer. If it is in the capital, it is the season of spring riding on horseback. Here, it is still icy and snowy. Standing on the tower, looking up, there is ice and snow that can't be seen.

  No one likes to guard the tower, where the air is everywhere and it is freezing cold.

   After Li Hao came, he took the initiative to take over the task of guarding the tower.

   It was too cold in the border town, and he had to put on the cotton-padded clothes made by the military.

   Standing on the tower every day and watching, soon, the handsome face was blown into the vicissitudes of life. I have frostbite on my hands and feet, and when the weather is a little better, the pain is unbearable.

  The rest of the military and Han often get together to gossip together.

   "This newcomer, Li San, is very skilled and has a big temper. I heard that he has a lot of background. He was sent to the army. He killed people after only one day in the frontier army. That's why he was sent here."

   "Whatever his background is, don't even think about going out again when he gets here. Even if he dies, the body will be buried here. When he gets to the ground, he will continue to blow the cold wind."

   "Bah! Crow's mouth, what are you saying dejected. The Tartars only came here once a year ago, and they have to wait another three or five months before they come back. We can live a few more days."

   These gossips came into Li Hao's ears intermittently.

  Li Hao was always silent.

   He almost never opened his mouth to speak. Over time, he got the nickname "Li San Dumb". Some people shouted in front of him, and he lost half of his life after being beaten up. After that, no one dared to shout in front of him.

   Four months later, more than two hundred Tartar cavalry stormed the city gate.

   When the people in the city heard the screams of killing, they all turned pale and hid in their cellars. These Tartar cavalrymen rushed in to **** and kill, and then left. It won't kill them all.

   The frontier troops defending the city could neither hide nor retreat, and suffered heavy casualties every time. Every time the reinforcements came, there were corpses all over the place.

   This time, the small town lit up with wolf smoke, and the frontier army immediately sent troops to help. Commander Shen personally led the troops.

   Then, Commander Shen saw the corpses of the Tatar cavalry all over the place, as well as the third son of Li, who was covered in blood and did not retreat half a step.
