He jumped out of the car and led several of his followers toward the opponent with murderous intent.
In mid-air, his sword glowed with light, as if it was spiritual.
"The king had expected that you would not be restrained, and that is indeed the case."
One of the attackers had a sneer on his face: "Fortunately, the king has already made arrangements." After saying this, he raised one hand, and a small box appeared in his hand.
The box opened, and a burst of black air came out, as black as ink.
A piece of armor floats and sinks in the black air, surrounded by thousands of resentful spirits, and its shape is ferocious.
Pang Nuan's expression changed slightly. The aura of this armor was so strong that it no longer seemed like an ordinary thing. It was comparable to the pressure brought by the saint realm.
In the air, Pang Nuan's sword was instantly suppressed by the black energy.
The armor was like a living thing. Although no one was wearing it, one could reach out and grab it. The five fingers were derived from the black energy. Pang Nuan's sword was immediately dragged into the darkness of the armor, as if it had been corroded by strong acid, and melted cleanly in the blink of an eye.
When the expressions of several people around Pang Nuan changed in shock, the armor had already pressed over them.
The overwhelming black air left no room to escape.
Pang Nuan and others were attacked by armor, and they all felt overwhelmed. Several attendants rushed up to block Pang Nuan, and were covered and swallowed by the black energy one after another, leaving them almost unable to resist.
The black air spread out, pressing down from all directions, and Pang Nuan was also dragged into it.
The virtual image of the battlefield appeared behind him, with thousands of soldiers and horses working together to compete with the mysterious power of the armor.
"kill!"
Pang Nuan shouted loudly and punched out. The energy and blood in his body steamed, trying to break through the black energy.
But at this moment, a voice sounded: "Pang Nuan, you forced the king to abdicate, do you still know your crime?"
Pang Nuan tried his best to open his eyes in the dark air and saw a figure appearing on the snow hill beside him. It was a Zhao minister named Ji Xiang.
This person has always been close to Guo Kai and is quite favored and trusted by Zhao Yan.
His face was sharp and thin, his eyes were menacing, and with the pride of successfully blocking Pang Nuan on his face, he walked down the snow hill with a calm pace:
"When you left Zhao, the king knew that you must have some evil plans and evil intentions.
It’s true, you said you were returning home in name, but in fact you secretly took a detour to the border between Qin and Wei. What’s your intention?”
Anger, regret, disappointment and other emotions surged into his heart at the same time... Pang Nuan didn't expect that it was Zhao Yan who asked someone to kill him.
I forced him to abdicate, but he felt that I was humiliating him and being disobedient... I complained and he still had people come to intercept and kill me. He waited until I entered the Wei-Qin border before taking action. He was worried about Li Mu and other generals and our Zhao soldiers, and was afraid of them. Know.
He killed me on the border of Qin and Wei, and he wanted to... put the blame on the Qin people and pluck himself clean... In an instant, Pang Nuan realized everything, and his eyes widened: "Hunjun..."
"Insult the king, the crime will be increased."
Ji Xiang said: "When Lian Po escaped, you and Li Mu were secretly supporting him. Do you think the king didn't know about it?
Now you want to leave Zhao and join the enemy, don't even think about it."
Pang Nuan has been completely covered by black air.
At the last moment, his mind flashed like a revolving door of scenes of him joining the army as a young man, fighting all his life, and assisting three generations of Zhao monarchs...the carefree scenes of his youth, his first wife who died young, the children at home, and all the last scenes. Fixed on Zhao Yan's face...Hunjun.
Zhao, who he had been loyal to throughout his life, was about to die!
A drop of tears welled up on Pang Nuan's face, and he died!
The Zhao minister Ji Xiang came down from the short hill: "The king said that Pang Nuan is at the pinnacle of the holy realm, and his soul after death can be used to sacrifice the soul armor. This can be regarded as his final contribution to our great Zhao."
Inside Pang Nuan's dead body, a black shadow was quickly dragged out by the armor and then absorbed by the armor.
Pang Nuan's body was spit out again by the armor and fell into the snow.
"Deploy this place, leave some broken crossbow fragments, and put the Qin army's mark on the hidden places. Don't ruin the king's plan..."
Ji Xiang curled up his lips and said, "General Pang Nuan has retired, but the Qin people still won't let him go. I, the Zhao soldiers, will fight to the death to seek justice for General Pang."
Then he said: "Leave immediately when you have finished your work. This is the border between Qin and Wei. Don't let the patrolling Qin army find our traces."
Half a quarter of an hour later, these Zhao teams quickly withdrew.
In the snow, the bodies of Pang Nuan and others were quickly covered with a thin layer of snow flakes.
According to Zhao Yan's plan, after they left, they would first let the nearby Wei people discover Pang Nuan's body, then let the matter spread and pin the blame on the Qin people.
However, not long after Zhao Ren's team left, another team appeared in the snow.
The leading woman, wearing a scarlet cloak and skirt, is tall and fit. She is Yu Gui.
She landed on the snow, glanced at Pang Nuan, and whispered: "It's still a step too late... Someone is here, collect Zhao General Pang Nuan's body and take it away!"
"promise!"
Behind her were the people from Ye Yufu who accompanied her, and they were quick to clean up the battlefield.
Yu Gui picked up a piece of bed crossbow fragment, lowered her head to look at the Qin Army mark imprinted on it, and said disdainfully: "What a deceptive means."

Handan, royal palace.
Zhao Yan woke up from his dormitory after taking a nap.
When Guo Kai came in from the outside, he saw him feeding the birds. He seemed to be in a good mood, so he stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, it's done."
Zhao Yan responded as expected.
Guo Kai continued: "The king's clever plan not only punished Pang Nuan for his crime, but also pinned the matter on the Qin army.
If our Zhao soldiers learn that the Qin army has killed General Pang Nuan, all their anger will be transferred to the Qin people and turn into mourning soldiers. In the battle against Qin, everyone will fight bravely to kill the enemy, and our army's chance of victory will greatly increase.
Moreover, if Pang Nuan is killed by the Qin people, the attention of Li Mu and others will also shift to the Qin army, and no one will come to force the king to give in.
He achieves many things with one move, and the king’s calculations are accurate, and he is a true god and man.”
Zhao Yan smiled, he was quite proud of his calculation, and said: "Go down and secretly spread the word that the Qin people took advantage of Pang Nuan's retirement and secretly attacked and killed General Pang's family, leaving no one alive."
"No!" Guo Kai walked briskly and bowed to leave.

When Zhao Huaizhong received the news that Pang Nuan had been killed, he was in the Yeyu Mansion checking out the new weapons jointly built by Lao Sikong, Ye Qi, Yue Qing, and Ji Mo, the Mohist giant who had recently joined Da Qin.
A spy under Ye Yufu came in and reported that Pang Nuan had been killed, and described the specific situation at the scene.
Zhao Huaizhong muttered: "If a foolish king destroys his country and cuts off his own arms, he is a fool."
Half an hour later, he hurriedly summoned Lu Buwei, the imperial censor, Taiwei, Wang Jian and others into the palace, and asked: "If we start a war with the Zhao people at this time, when can we send troops to attack Zhao at the earliest?"
Wang Jian said: "Your Majesty ordered us to prepare for war as early as autumn. Our army has been preparing for several months. It is now the end of February, and the weather will warm up in March, so we can send troops at any time."
Zhao Huaizhong said: "How many soldiers can our Great Qin have?"
The Taiwei, who was looking over the military affairs of the Qin Dynasty, said: "Our army has stationed 150,000 troops on the western front to guard against monsters.
There were nearly 100,000 troops on both the northern and southern fronts.
At this time, the Quanrong army was greatly defeated, and there would be no border danger in the short term. If necessary, 50,000 troops could be mobilized from the northern front.
General Meng Ao is on the eastern front, commanding 130,000 troops. South Korea has recently surrendered and has 50,000 troops stationed there.
The rest of the defense troops scattered across the counties of our Great Qin, as well as our Xianyang Guards and Imperial Guards, total 200,000. The total number of our Great Qin's soldiers is nearly 800,000, and there are nearly 500,000 who can be called elites.
Among them, the number of people who can be deployed to attack Zhao is at most 250,000 to 300,000."
Lu Buwei said: "However, our army has been engaged in many battles in recent years. The water conservancy repairs have just been completed for half a year, and the national treasury balance is limited, which may not be conducive to a long war."
Zhao Huaizhong nodded and thought for a moment: "Then let's fight. If we don't take action first, the Zhao people and the demon clan will not give up, and they will be passive in vain.
Wang Jian, when we attack Zhao, you will be the commander, Yang Ruihe, and Nei Shiteng will be the deputy generals. I will transfer General Meng Ao to guard the western front against monsters.
Attack Zhao with all your strength and let the people of Zhao know how powerful our Qin army is."
"Promise!" Wang Jian stood up solemnly, his armor clanking, and walked away with high spirits.
Chapter completed!
