Chapter 250: Reverse Scales
Several guards tore open their pockets and pushed the people in their pockets into the tent, Lu Tianyang led them to hide quickly, and after a while, there were screams from the tent, torches were lit in the distance, and the guards surrounded Emperor Shenwu and came to the tent.
The corners of Lu Tianyang's mouth were slightly hooked, and he flashed as if he had just arrived, kneeling on one knee in front of Emperor Shenwu, "It's too late." ”
Lu Jiang, the Duke of Chengguo who fell behind the crowd, was shocked when he saw Lu Tianyang appear here, who was the person in the tent?
Emperor Shenwu glanced down at Lu Tianyang, "Stand down." ”
"Yes."
Lu Tianyang obediently retreated to King Qi's side, and gently touched King Qi who was stunned, "Father-in-law? ”
King Qi, who had always been very arrogant, had a solemn face, grabbed Lu Tianyang's arm to make sure that Yizi was by his side, and only then eased up a little, seeing that Emperor Shenwu walked into the tent alone, King Qi dragged Lu Tianyang to the dark, avoiding the guards and others, and whispered:
"I have a kind of ominous premonition, God, the last thing the old man can bear is the woman who others peep at him. The older he gets, the more paranoid he becomes. I was able to survive...... Or because I am the old man's own son, my mother lost her life for the old man. ”
But that's it, King Qi didn't go out of Beijing with all the mustaches, and when Lu Tianyang was picked up by King Qi, King Qi was so sick that he was about to die.
It is precisely because of the appearance of Lu Tianyang, who is highly poisonous and endures the pain of ordinary people every day, that King Qi feels that his suffering is nothing, and the four-year-old Lu Tianyang needs to be raised, so King Qi stimulates his potential and desperately earns a foundation.
Lu Tianyang asked suspiciously: "Could it be that the reason why my father-in-law left the capital back then was because of a woman?" "The woman who moved Emperor Shenwu?
Although the father-in-law is informal. But it is not so much that Xiao thinks about Emperor Shenwu's harem, does incest, and blasphemes his mother.
King Qi knew that his son was smart. smiled awkwardly: "No, no, you think too much." But the corners of his mouth raised a smug smile, how could that person be compared to the vulgar fans in the harem?
"Obviously, we are a match made in heaven, and we have to be broken up by the old man." King Qi muttered in a low voice, unwilling to let Yizi think of the only woman he had paid his affection to be the old man's concubine, "She would rather die." I won't enter the old man's harem. ”
Father and son watching the same woman's drama?
Lu Tianyang shook his head helplessly, no wonder his father-in-law was quite cold to the princess, and he didn't continue after the princess died. Although he has a good impression of the lord of Zhaohua, his father-in-law said that his affection for the lord of Zhaohua is very light.
"She's dead?"
"I don't have a hunch, she's just far away."
King Qi patted his head. "Lately, I always feel like she's still alive. And it's going to surprise me. ”
Surprise refers to the son of the stepfather?
King Qi has never been a gentleman who sits still, since he had such a big quarrel with Emperor Shenwu back then, that woman had already become a noble King of Qi.
At that time, King Qi was in his prime, and it was the time when his qi and blood were at their peak, and he had not experienced the serious illness and yang qi in the future, nor had he experienced the hardships of climbing ice and snow, so it was not difficult to leave an heir.
Lu Tianyang smiled and said: "It would be great if she appeared and could solve the problem of the righteous father and son." ”
Of course, it was also lively enough to see Emperor Shenwu's ruthlessness towards King Qi that day. Thinking about it, the beauty who confused the father and son was very much liked by Emperor Shenwu, which was different from the beauty who served Emperor Shenwu now.
King Qi's face changed. His hand pressed on Lu Tianyang's body, "It should be your responsibility, you don't want to get rid of it, let me tell you, even if this king has a son, don't think about slipping away." ”
"I want to spend more time with Ah Jiu." Lu Tianyang's face was sincere, "Recently, I've been so busy that I have less time to eat with her." ”
With his father-in-law's lazy personality, he really threw all state affairs to him, not to mention whether the courtiers listened to him or not, even those state affairs were enough for him to do his best, and then he died, how could he have the kung fu to take Ah Jiu to travel the world?
Lu Tianyang's ambition is only to push his father-in-law to the throne, keep the foundation they have worked hard for more than ten years, and let the vassals who are far away in Youyun Erzhou and the border pass have a stable and prosperous life.
By the way, he dug up the foundation of the Mu family, ruined Chengguogong's lifelong dream, and made the county lord of Zhaohua and her son kneel in front of him forever.
"If you are gone, this king would rather die as an heir."
King Qi is also very sincere, "Tianyang, if this king can sit in that position, he will make you the crown prince." ”
"Father-in-law......" Lu Tianyang was moved, knowing that King Qi was sincere, he shook his head and said: "Don't, the name is not right, the words are not good, even if I change my surname, I can't eliminate the blood of the Lu family." ”
"Heavenly raising!"
"Say no more, father-in-law, I will hand over everything in my hands to the son who continues your bloodline."
A trace of bitterness, envy, and even a hint of jealousy flashed in Lu Tianyang's eyes, he could not recognize Lu Jiang, but he could not change his bloodline.
King Qi's eyes changed, if he didn't let go, Lu Tianyang wouldn't be able to leave, the world was the world of the people of the world, since their old winner could sit on the throne, why couldn't the righteous son?
"Who's in the tent?"
"Someone who can make His Majesty angry and save his life."
Lu Tianyang's eyes were half closed, and he suddenly heard a voice from Emperor Shenwu in the tent, "Lu Tianyang, come in!" ”
Although Lu Tianyang and King Qi stood in the distance and whispered, the surroundings of the tent were very quiet, and Emperor Shenwu was furious, so his words naturally spread far away.
Even if it doesn't spread far, there will be guards to inform Lu Tianyang.
"Be careful." King Qi whispered: "If the old man is angry, you run outside, I will answer you outside, that's what I did back then, or I would have been beheaded by the old man in a rage." ”
Can I compare myself with my father? Besides, he didn't compete with Emperor Shenwu for a woman, and the real unlucky person was the man in the tent.
Lu Tianyang only needs to clear up the relationship, but why did Emperor Shenwu ask him to go in?
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Tianyang walked quickly to the tent and replied respectfully: "The ministers are here." ”
"Get in."
"Yes."
Lu Tianyang squinted at Cheng Guogong in the distance, opened the tent door and walked in. Lu Jiang had a bad feeling, which step leaked the news?
He hadn't made it yet, and was preempted by Lu Tianyang. There were not many beauties sent to Emperor Shenwu, and Lu Jiang couldn't afford to lose it.
Entering the tent, Lu Tianyang first smelled a smell of blood, Liu Meiren lay on the couch without looking at her, a red mark on her white neck, the donated blood soaked the bedding, and the donated blood that had not yet coagulated fell drop by drop.
An Guogong knelt at the feet of Emperor Shenwu. In the past, his elegant face was full of horror, and his cheeks were red and swollen, so he should have been slapped by Emperor Shenwu.
Emperor Shenwu had his back to Lu Tianyang and his hands behind his back. Lu Tianyang couldn't see Emperor Shenwu's complexion, but he could see the green tendons on the back of Emperor Shenwu's hands, with King Qi's reminder, Lu Tianyang knew that such a thing had offended Emperor Shenwu's scales.
The situation was much more serious than Lu Tianyang expected. I didn't expect Emperor Shenwu to attach so much importance to a group of beauties who were just playthings and tools to vent their desires.
Originally, Lu Tianyang thought that An Guogong should suffer a little.
But he only after the words of his father. His heart moved, did Lu Jiang also know where Emperor Shenwu's reverse scales were? If Lu Jiang knew that King Qi and Emperor Shenwu were fighting for a woman back then......
"Fang Cai An Guogong said that he was deceived by you in the name of Ah Jiu."
Emperor Shenwu's eyes were cold, "What do you say?" ”
Lu Tianyang was single-minded, and while pondering whether the events of the year had anything to do with Lu Jiang, he replied innocently: "The minister is wronged, how could the minister do such a pickled thing in the name of Ah Jiu?" ”
He attaches too much importance to Ah Jiu, and he is too good. would rather suffer a little by himself, so An Guogong didn't think that Lu Tianyang would suddenly tie himself up before he went to the appointment. It pushed him into the trap he had set.
An Guogong is more aggrieved and helpless than Lu Tianyang, perhaps this is the reason why he is losing and retreating in the secret battle with Lu Tianyang.
He is not as despicable and shameless as Lu Tianyang.
"The minister has been arranging for the guards to be deployed, and he has never seen An Guogong."
Lu Tianyang said bitterly and sadly: "The rumors are getting stronger and stronger, how dare the minister meet with An Guogong in private?" Wouldn't it be confirmed to let outsiders see the rumors? ”
Looking up, Lu Tianyang looked at Emperor Shenwu, his deep eyes did not have any flaws, and they were crystal clear. After Emperor Shenwu for a long time, he said slowly: "An Guogong has offended Shengyan, and he will be handed over to you for the time being." ”
Anguo justice; "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged."
"Don't let me really kill you!" Emperor Shenwu forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and pointed at Liu Meiren, who committed suicide to observe the festival, "You should be glad that they are just the fun of my old age, and more than 20 years ago, even my son was also killed." ”
Lu Tianyang's back tensed, pretending not to hear, but he understood in his heart how dangerous his father-in-law was at that time to save his life.
"Take care of An Guogong, and I will deal with him when I return to Beijing."
"Yes."
Lu Tianyang didn't say anything, got up and went out with An Guogong. Emperor Shenwu looked lonely, much older, and not in good spirits, "Gonggong Ma." ”
"The slave is here."
"No news from the factory guard?"
"Judging from the news that came, Marquis Yu didn't lie, the spy still saw Marquis Yu in the barracks before." Ma Gonggong replied truthfully, not daring to say a word.
"Do you believe in Marquis Yu, or Duke An Guo?"
"Slaves and lowly people, only obey Your Majesty's orders."
"You've learned to be slippery, too." Emperor Shenwu couldn't say whether he was disappointed, or what, "Bury Liu Meiren." ”
"What do you say to the outside world?"
There was a lot of trouble, Emperor Shenwu imprisoned Cheng Guogong, Liu Meiren died, and the news couldn't fly all over the sky? Emperor Shenwu's reputation was damaged.
"Whatever they say, my reputation has never been good."
"Your Majesty......" Ma Gonggong still wants to persuade him, even if he can't cover it, he has to work hard to whitewash the peace.
"I'm tired."
Emperor Shenwu left this sentence and went back to the imperial tent to rest, and he didn't call any beauties to sleep when he sang every night. Lying alone on the couch, tossing and turning, today's events awaken the memories of the past...... King Qi put it down?
Emperor Shenwu couldn't help but be a little more suspicious of King Qi.
******
Lu Tianyang set up the place where An Guogong was imprisoned very badly, very close to the horse pen, and there were leaky tents everywhere, but there was no heating anything, not even a quilt.
Everything is enough to prove how much Lu Tianyang hates An Guogong.
An Guogong ignored the embarrassing environment, as if he couldn't smell the smell of stinking horse manure: "Why me?" ”
"Anyone in the tent can't survive except you." Lu Tianyang smiled coldly, "We don't have the blessings of Duke An Guo, we were born in the Mu family, and our biological mother is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
An Guogong replied bitterly: "And I'm stupid enough, stupid enough to be called out by you with Ah Jiu's token, and I didn't bring anyone with me." Lu Tianyang, I admire your calmness and cold-bloodedness, and I also admire your acting skills. ”
"You deceived Ah Jiu, my second brother, and Jiang Shoufu."
"On the contrary, Zhaohua and our mother have seen through you, and you have been using Ah Jiu to harm us again."
Lu Tianyang calmly endured An Guogong's accusations, and An Guogong seemed to be a weak person who refused to admit his failure and found excuses to cover up his quibbles.
"Three meals a day, I will have someone bring it to you, but if you want to eat well, you can't, and it's useless for anyone to intercede."
Lu Tianyang said in a low voice: "I didn't let people starve you, I'm already very kind, An Guogong should often be so poor that he can only fill the days with water." ”
An Guogong seemed to have an understanding, and his eyes were meaningful, "King Qi...... I won't treat you badly. ”
"My father-in-law has always been with me through thick and thin." Lu Tianyang smiled proudly, "An Guogong is not angry, saying that I used Ah Jiu to calculate you, I admit it, but An Guogong, you should understand, it's not you, it's someone else, if you don't want to be the most unlucky person, you have to count everything first." ”
"Born in sorrow, die in peace."
Lu Tianyang was extremely proud, "Looking at you and Lu Lingfeng, I seem to forgive you for leaving me behind, yes, without you leaving me, how could I have a father-in-law who loves me like a son?" How can we grow today? I am living by calculation step by step, and I have built a foundation,"
Hearing the faint sound of secret signals outside, it was Ah Jiu who had arrived.
Lu Tianyang's voice was high and angry, "Dead Dao friends, immortal poor Dao!" ”
An Guogong watched Lu Tianyang turn around and leave, grabbed his scattered hair, and thought dejectedly, he actually felt sorry for Lu Tianyang! Don't even hate his design framed?
If it is certain that he is Zhaohua's son, it is good to say, but it is clear that he is not, An Guogong can't wait to pull his hair and refuse to ask the person who brought him for help.
*****
Ah Jiu looked at Lu Tianyang quietly, he was as chic and calm as ever, but it was still difficult to see a trace of uneasiness between his eyebrows.
"You took my jade pendant?"
“…… It's me. Lu Tianyang stopped at a distance of one step from Ah Jiu and explained anxiously, "I didn't want to lie to you, let alone ......."
Ah Jiu didn't seem to hear his explanation, and continued to ask: "Use the jade pendant to show An Guogong?" ”
"Yes."
"You already knew about my private meeting with An Guogong? Are you spying on me? ”
"It's not."
Lu Tianyang couldn't help but grab Ah Jiu's shoulders and said in a panic; "I know that you saw An Guogong, and I also know why you went, I never thought of spying on you and hurting you, I thought of all the ways, only this trick can make An Guogong go to the death situation instead of me."
"Why don't you tell the emperor clearly?"
“……”
"If the emperor believes it, you will lose a chance to attack An Guogong, right?"
In the face of Ah Jiu's words, Lu Tianyang was speechless, and slowly held Ah Jiu in his arms, seeing that she was not struggling, he felt a little relieved, but he could feel the coldness on Ah Jiu's body.
Ah Jiu could feel his anxiety, and only he could let a person who did not achieve his goal do this, he complained about Lu Tianyang and felt distressed, but he had no disappointment and hatred, and slowly raised his hand and stroked his tight back, "Save An Guogong's life, I think the truth will soon come out."
