When everyone heard this, they turned their horses and prepared to return to the battle, but Lin Jue suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I still have a few words to say." ”

Ma Bin shouted, "What else is there to say?" The old thief didn't talk nonsense again, what did he do with so much nonsense? ”

Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "I don't tell the old thief, I tell others." Just a few words. ”

The crowd had no choice but to wait for the horses. Lin Jue coughed and shouted at the palace wall: "Chen Jue, Zhu Zhirong, Liu Zhenbang, are you three here?" I have something to say to you, and you listen. ”

Chen Jue, Zhu Zhirong, and Liu Zhenbang were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't know whether to answer. Lu Zhongtian frowned and said, "Don't ignore him, release arrows to me, and shoot them." ”

Chen Jue hesitated a little, Lin Jue and the others were seventy or eighty steps away from the city wall, and they were indeed within the shooting range of the bow and arrow. However, at the moment, the defenders did not have heavy bed crossbows, only a few repeaters and bows. The opposing cavalry was on guard with shields, and when attacked, they could immediately withdraw from the range of their bows and arrows, and they were almost impossible to shoot them. Lu Zhongtian wanted to give the order to release the arrows himself, wouldn't that force the other party to attack immediately. As soon as the other party attacked, the palace gate was broken, and his more than 10,000 men and horses were not enough for the other party to stuff his teeth, and he could not escape death. But Chen Jue didn't want to die so soon, although he knew that he was not lucky today, he was also actively thinking about countermeasures, hoping to have a turnaround. Lin Jue called his name and said that he had something to say, why didn't he listen to what he said.

"Chen Jue, I want you to shoot them with arrows, didn't you hear?" Seeing Chen Jue's hesitation, Lu Zhongtian shouted angrily.

"Your Majesty, why don't you listen to what Lin Jue has to say. At this distance, the other party is heavily guarded, and I am afraid that I will not be able to shoot them. Wouldn't it be nice to hear what that guy had to say? Chen Jue arched his hand.

Lu Zhongtian's face turned pale, it was precisely because he guessed what Lin Jue was going to say that he wanted to attack to stop Lin Jue from saying those words. I didn't expect Chen Jue to disobey. Lu Zhongtian felt a chill in his heart.

"Your Majesty, it's nothing to listen to what Lin Jue said. If we don't let go of the arrows, they will attack too. We're all dead, but there's no need to rush to the road. Zhu Zhirong echoed in a low voice.

"You...... You guys...... Well, in that case, listen to what they have to say. Lu Zhongtian was about to be furious, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't want to listen to that little thief Lin Jue's nonsense, so let's go down with you. It's windy here, and it's about to go to war again, and it's dangerous. Let me go down with you and stay there. Liu Zhenbang said softly.

Lu Zhongtian nodded and smiled bitterly: "Okay, Zhenbang, you are very good." Unexpectedly, in the end, you were the most loyal to me. I finally have a loyal man by my side. Okay, you help me down. By the way, what about God's Gift? Tell him to come too, and go down with me. I'll leave it to them. The sun is going down, and it's a little cold. ”

Lu Tianci walked over timidly on the side, and his fat face was full of horror.

"Daddy!" Lu Tianci cried out mournfully.

"Let's go, God, let's go with Daddy." Lu Zhongtian touched Lu Tianci's chubby face and sighed.

The three of them supported each other and slowly descended the palace wall. But he didn't stop, and went directly to the direction of Chongzheng Palace. The setting sun dragged the figures of the three on the ground for a long, long time. The figure staggered away, disappearing into the shadows.

At the head of the city, Chen Jue and Zhu Zhirong had already spoken to Lin Jue.

"Lord Lin, but I don't know what you want to say to us?" Chen Jue and Zhu Zhirong stood side by side behind the battlements, and Chen Jue replied loudly.

Lin Jue bowed his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Chen, Lord Zhu, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed." ”

Chen Jue bowed his hand and said, "Lord Lin is polite." ”

Zhu Zhirong arched his hand and said: "Lord Lin is unharmed, and his demeanor is the same as when he was in Kaifeng Mansion." ”

Lin Jue laughed and said, "Yes, Lord Zhu didn't mention Kaifeng Mansion, I almost forgot." Back then, I was only a criminal officer in Kaifeng Mansion, and Lord Zhu was still my boss. Hehehe, think about it like yesterday. Time flies, time flies, how many years have passed in the blink of an eye? It's been four or five years. ”

Zhu Zhirong said in a deep voice: "Five whole years. ”

Lin Jue said: "Lord Zhu has a good memory. Does Master Chen still know this brother next to me? But you are also the same people you knew back then. ”

Lin [Youyou Reading] felt that Ma Bin, who was riding a horse beside him, let out a loud laugh, and laughed towards the city: "Isn't it? Chen Jue is my Ma Bin's boss, he was still the commander of the Imperial City Division back then, and now it is said that he has become a privy envoy, and this official can't catch up. Congratulations, Mr. Chen. ”

Of course Chen Jue recognized Ma Bin, Ma Bin was not a small role in the Imperial City Division back then, he was one of the deputy commanders, although this guy didn't like him, but his ability and martial arts were good, and he had always hoped to win him over. It's a pity that he didn't get his wish in the end, and this person got mixed up with Lin Jue.

"It turned out to be Master Ma, hehe, it seems that everyone is a family." Chen Jue said with a haha.

"Who is the same family with you?" Lin Jue reprimanded sharply.

Chen Jue and Zhu Zhirong were both stunned, frowning and thinking, this guy turned his face faster than turning a book. was still making friends just now, but in a blink of an eye, he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone.

I heard Lin Jue continue: "The two of you were originally important ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they were favored by the former emperor Long, and they didn't want to repay it, but instead helped the thieves to abuse the country, and followed the Lu thief to steal the country and rebel. Do you not have the slightest shame? Are you two going to follow the old thief Lu for 10,000 years? According to me, Chen Jue, your ancestor is loyal and good, Chen Linggong, the founding general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is your ancestor, and the attack on the Southern Tang Dynasty is his leading army to break the city, and he is a meritorious minister of the Great Zhou. Isn't what you are doing today a disgrace to your Chen family? Chen Linggong Quanquan knows, I'm afraid he won't recognize you, an unfilial descendant. And you, Master Zhu. You are also from a prominent family, how many good generals and virtuous ministers have been produced in the Zhu family? Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that Zhu Bacon and Zhu Peide are two brothers in the Splendid Dynasty, Zhu Bacon is the minister of the humerus and once served as the deputy minister, Zhu Peide is the general of the border town, and the official worships the deputy envoy of the privy council. Both of these are your grandfathers, right? In your lifetime, you'll be a disgrace to them. followed a dog thief like Lu Zhongtian, and worshiped him as a protégé, disgrace the face of your ancestors. It's only been less than three generations, and you have lost the reputation of your Zhu family, what face do you say you have standing here? You're still telling me that it's a family? Who's with you two incompetent losers? It didn't insult us. We're all ashamed to have been with you ever to be an official. ”

Lin Jue's merciless ridicule and sarcasm made Zhu Zhirong and Chen Jue blushing and angry. If what Lin Jue said was false, it would be fine, but what Lin Jue said was true. Chen Jue's ancestors and Zhu Zhirong's ancestors are both well-known figures, but their families are in the middle of the road, and they have actually declined in their generation, so they have to take refuge in camps. They have their own hardships, but when Lin Jue said this, it seems that they are contemptuous and want to take an evil path. In fact, the two of them have also come to this day step by step, sometimes pushed by the situation, and finally there is no turning back.

"Lin Jue! Hugh was rude. It's not your turn to take care of our business. Don't think that you are in control of the situation today, so you can point fingers at us and blame us. I don't want to eat your set. What are you? Just point fingers at Lao Tzu? Chen Jue scolded angrily.

Lin Jue laughed and said, "Who has the air to control you?" I'm just sorry for you. has a good future, a good Dazhou official, but he has become an old thief and lackey. You may have had hardships before, but the old thieves have ascended the throne and become emperors, and you are still obsessed, isn't that still death? ”

Zhu Zhirong shouted: "Lin Jue, don't talk about it, the victor is the prince and the loser is the thief, you just have the advantage, so you will point fingers at us." What if the tide turns? It's just bad luck. ”

Lin Jue sneered: "Bad luck? It's because you have offended the way of heaven, and God won't help you, and you're still obsessed. I originally wanted to give you a chance to make meritorious atonements, and let you make meritorious contributions, but I didn't expect you two fools to still be obsessed, and it seems that there is no need to give you a chance. I knew it was nonsense to talk to you, and you didn't shed tears when you didn't see the coffin. I don't need to say anything to you, but I'll talk to you with my sword in a moment. If you lose your head, you won't quibble anymore. ”

Lin Jue waved his hand as if to turn his head away on a horse, Zhu Zhirong and Chen Jue glanced at each other, their minds were connected, and they shouted almost at the same time: "Lord Lin, please stay!" ”

Lin Jue turned his head and said, "What?" What did they say before they died? ”

Chen Jue smacked his lips and winked at Zhu Zhirong to speak. Zhu Zhirong scolded secretly in his heart, and shouted: "What did Lord Lin say? What opportunity do you want to give me two meritorious service to atone for your sins? If you can't say it clearly, can you make it clearer? lest anyone be misunderstood. ”

Lin Jue sneered: "But you are asking this?" I was going to give you a chance, after all, you are just an accomplice of the old thief, and maybe you have done something bad for the old thief to coerce. To be honest, although the two of you are disappointing, I haven't really found out that you have too many bad deeds, so I am willing to give you a chance. If our army wants to attack the Imperial Palace, it will inevitably use firearms, which will cause damage to the Ouchi Palace. If you resist, you will inevitably cause a lot of casualties. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and we don't want to kill too many of Da Zhou's own people, after all, the soldiers are not guilty. The Ouchi Imperial Palace is the holy land of the Great Zhou, and the new emperor wants to settle here, and we don't want to damage it. So I originally thought that if you were willing to make meritorious deeds, turn against us before the battle, and take the initiative to surrender to us with the old thief, we might be able to give you a chance to surround you from dying. But now it seems that the two of you are obsessed, it seems that you don't need it anymore, and it's useless to say it, it's better to attack immediately. Dead people are inevitable, and the palace walls are destroyed and repaired. There's nothing to be done about that. ”

Chen Jue and Zhu Zhirong glanced at each other when they heard this, and they both saw undisguised ecstasy in each other's eyes.
