Chapter 1357

She will confer a title on him.

To be honest, Cui Lie doesn't care much about this title.

But at the same time, Empress Dowager Dong also said that if he didn't come, this position of the Three Excellencies would not be guaranteed.

Cui Lie was also helpless.

Sitting in the carriage, the more Cui Lie thought about it, the more upset he became.

"How much longer until we arrive at Hongmen Pavilion." Cui Lie lifted his buttocks, which were aching from the bumping, and asked outside.

The deputy envoy immediately rode forward two steps: "My lord, we will be there soon. Fifteen miles ahead is Hongmen Pavilion."

Hongmen Pavilion.

As the name suggests, it is named after Hongmen.

Back then, after the Han Gao Zu Liu Bang entered the pass, he had a banquet here with the Overlord Xiang Yu that concerned his life and death.

Cui Lie rubbed his aching buttocks angrily and sat back in his seat.

Although a layer upon layer of blankets had been laid underneath, the bumping carriage still made Cui Lie feel as if his internal organs had shifted.

Unable to eat because of worry and bumping every day, Cui Lie looked two sizes thinner.

Just as Cui Lie was rubbing his buttocks, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the front.

The heart that had just calmed down became irritable again.

However, this time, before Cui Lie could take the initiative to ask, fast horses were already galloping from the front.

"It's not good, it's not good, the road ahead is blocked, there are troops blocking the way ahead!"

Listening to the shouting outside, Cui Lie was startled, and then hurriedly poked half of his face out of the carriage window to look outside.

This look was not a big deal, but it scared his soul away.

I saw that the guards who were riding horses in front were actually running back at high speed.

"Stop, all stop, don't run, don't run!"

Cui Lie's deputy envoy outside the carriage shouted loudly, but it was of no use.

The fleeing guards rode their war horses and passed quickly from both sides of Cui Lie's carriage, directly hitting the deputy envoy who was blocking the way, and then the deputy envoy's wailing sound rang out a few times under the horse's hooves and then went out.

Cui Lie stared with a pair of eyes full of horror.

"Quick, quick, turn around." Cui Lie shouted loudly at the coachman.

However, as soon as Cui Lie's voice fell, he saw that the coachman had already run away toward the back.

In front, the sound of horse hooves like thunder sounded.

The anxious Cui Lie pushed open the back door of the carriage and jumped out directly.

However, I don't know if it was because his legs were soft from the bumping of the carriage, or because his physical fitness was poor.

Cui Lie, who jumped out of the carriage, screamed, and then covered his ankle with a painful expression.

Rumble!

The sound of horse hooves got closer and closer.

When Cui Lie endured the severe pain from his foot and raised his head, he realized that a black-armored general was riding on a war horse, holding a huge mountain-opening axe, and was looking down at him with a pair of cold eyes.

"Are you Cui Lie?"

Xu Huang on the horse looked down at Cui Lie from a high position.

Cui Lie pursed his lips, his eyes terrified and silent.

But soon, several people accompanying the mission were caught back and pressed to the ground.

"Is he Cui Lie?" Xu Huang looked at the few people who were caught back and asked.

Those attendants did not dare to look up at Cui Lie, but nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"You..."

Cui Lie, knowing that he couldn't hide it anymore, covered his ankle and looked at Xu Huang on the horse: "You... what are you doing, I am the Minister of Works, you..."

Xu Huang grinned, and the big axe in his hand slashed down along Cui Lie's crown.

"I'm here to send you on your way!"

Pfft!

The big mountain-opening axe split Cui Lie's head in two.

Blood and brains were sprayed on the attendants accompanying the mission, and several people were so scared that they wailed.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive!" Xu Huang gave an order.

Accompanied by Xu Huang's order, the hundreds of cavalry behind began a massacre.

Xu Huang looked at the big mountain-opening axe in his hand and smiled: "This weapon is still easy to use."

Not long after, when the sky was about to turn dark, Wu Xi, full of blood, came from the direction Cui Lie came from with a team of cavalry.

"Dead?" Wu Xi looked at Xu Huang.

Xu Huang pursed his lips and pointed at Cui Lie, who was already dead, on the ground: "Throw him into the woods, and he will be gnawed by wild wolves until not even bones are left in two days."

"Let's go, go back and report to the general."

After the two confirmed that there were no survivors around, they set fire to all the carriages and then left.

Two days later, in the study of Duan Yu's residence.

Liu Bai Tu stood in Duan Yu's study with the news of Cui Lie's death.

In addition to Duan Yu sitting in the main seat, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Cheng Yu, and Xun You were also there.

Duan Yu frowned.
