Chapter 863: My Son
"Your Majesty, in the dark night, I can't see how many thieves there are, and there are not enough people in the hands of the ministers, please hold on for a while, and the ministers will go to transfer the soldiers and come back to rescue them immediately!"
"Aiqing, you can hurry up! If you have merit in saving the driver, I will crown you king again! β
Li You only hopes that he can escape alive and not be burned to death, and if he opens his mouth to worship the king, he will come when he opens his mouth, anyway, the officials of Daqi are not worth anything, no matter how valuable they are, can they have a life that is worth it? He didn't dare to blame Lord Yang for being lazy, for fear that this new force who had just come to defect would turn around and run away in annoyance.
Lord Yang really ran, but he didn't run far, just a few dozen meters away, in the side courtyard of King Qi's mansion.
Li Mu's bluffing roar standing on the ridge of the house frightened many people, and the news spread. Mrs. Lu, who lives in the side yard, naturally received the news as soon as possible. Before she could make a move, the Yang Island Master had already found the door.
"King Qi has been arrested!"
As soon as Lord Yang saw Mrs. Lu, he was straightforward, his face was undiminished, and he said, "This is a great opportunity!" β
"What a great opportunity?" Mrs. Lu pretended to be confused and said, "Why can't I understand what you say?" What's going on? β
"Mrs. Lu, I know the news when I live outside, can you know it in this mansion? At this time, don't be sloppy! Lord Yang said very politely: "It's true that my eldest brother owes you a favor, but that's my eldest brother's business." The eldest brother has always said that his personal debt does not implicate the brothers. The 72 islands in the South Seas are also independent on weekdays. I brought someone over, not just to help my eldest brother repay the favor, now is a good opportunity, what do you think? β
Mrs. Lu's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure, but she didn't have a seizure, and said, "You have to let me know what's going on, it's a little loud, but my people haven't gone out, how do you know what happened?" β
Although the Lord of Yang Island knew that this was deliberately pushing, he didn't bother to break it, and said directly: "The marquis outside the city and a patrol guard in the city rebelled, and sneaked into the palace at night to capture the king. The king of Qi finally escaped from the siege and was trapped in the guest house. The henchmen under King Qi were also in the guest house, and now the five of them have been stewed with a spoonful! If you agree, I'll take people over now, and they'll all have to die. β
"So, what's in it for me?" Mrs. Lu asked leisurely.
"There are too many benefits, let's capture King Qi and cut off his henchmen. The King of Qi can only be used by us, and of course the Marquis of Luoyang must also die. He died at the hands of the King of Qi and slapped the court in the face, Qi Zhou and the court must be regarded as the same and irreconcilable. After killing Li Mu, the generals and soldiers of Qizhou can only go one way to the dark, and when my eldest brother lands with the elite of the seventy-two islands, and then gathers friends on the rivers and lakes, it may not be impossible to cause trouble! β
"When the time comes," Lord Yang said yearningly, "whether to follow Cao Cao's example or set himself up as the king is all within the mind of my eldest brother." β
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "I'm asking, what good can I do by doing this?" β
The words were sharp, and the Lord of Yang Island heard it, frowned and said, "What do you mean?" β
"I think you can die." Mrs. Lu said this slowly, and her expression did not change at all. Yang Island Lord suddenly felt bad, and pulled out the blade with his hand, but it was too late, Rong Mama had already rushed out of the oblique stab, a punch hit his wrist, and a strange corner came out of the wrist, his knife fell to the ground, Rong Mama kicked out, Yang Island Lord subconsciously dodged away, turned around and ran directly, Rong Mama pulled out the knife, threw it casually, the tip of the knife passed through the chest, and it was already dead and could not die anymore.
"Miss......"
"Throw it out," said Mrs. Lu, with a light sigh, "send a message to the bearded guest, and tell him that if such a foolish thing appears in front of me again, don't blame me for turning my face and settling accounts with him!" β
"Understood." Mama Rong answered, walked over and grabbed the back of Lord Yang's neck and carried him out.
Mrs. Lu looked at the moonlight outside the window and muttered, "It's too risky, my son, how come you have gone through so many things, and you still can't get rid of your impulsiveness?" β
β¦β¦
In the guest house in King Qi's mansion, Li You and the others had already seen the movement outside through the cracks in the doors and windows. Seeing that there were piles of hay everywhere, he was also frightened, and he didn't dare to come out at the moment, he just wanted to wait for Lord Yang to bring troops to rescue, but after he left, he didn't see any movement for a long time, and he couldn't help but secretly scold outsiders for being unreliable. He peeked through the crack in the door that some guards from the Qi Palace's mansion also came, but they were only surrounded by people in the outer circle, but they did not attack, so angry that Li You was furious.
"What the hell are these dogs doing?! Wait for Lao Tzu to get out of trouble and cut you all down! β
At this time, several of the leaders of the guards, whom he scolded as incompetent, were fighting in a large room on the side.
The issue they debated was not how to save the King of Qi, but whether or not to submit to the imperial court.
Although they are all military generals who don't know much about reading, they are not stupid, and in fact, they may not have any confidence in King Qi sitting in the world. However, greed and heart blind reason, although it seems that there is not much difference now compared to before, but ...... Now they're generals!
And in the past, he only led troops in the barracks, but now it is different, the greedy have money, and the greedy have added several rooms at once, which are all benefits obtained from the rebellion of King Qi, and it is very reluctant to lose it again.
However, now that the King of Qi is trapped, can this rebellion farce continue?
Yes, there are more soldiers outside than there are people inside. All it takes is a rush up, or a few rounds of arrow rain, and those twenty or so people will definitely die, and King Qi can also be rescued. But if it does, people can light a fire. Those hay, a spark can be ignited, Hula is on fire, it will definitely be too late to save people, a dead King of Qi, what's the use?
Even if he is rescued, what can he do, can King Qi's rebellion really succeed?
Greed and reason were fighting in their hearts, and everyone was a little wavering.
"Everyone, I am reluctant to do everything now! But now that we abandon the darkness and turn to the light and return to the imperial court, you and I can at least save our lives. I look at the king, my breath is exhausted, and if I follow him further, I will not even lose my life, you and I are reluctant to give up everything now, how can I have a chance to enjoy it? β
Everyone was discussing when suddenly there was a noise outside the door. A group of black-clothed athletes hurried over, just looking at the momentum, it was extraordinary. Some people recognize that these athletes are the servants of the distinguished guest in the palace courtyard, but I didn't see that there were so many people before, and I am afraid that there must be one hundred and eighty of them, right?
"Are you here to help?" Everyone hesitated, and before they could ask, a voice came: "Where is King Qi?" β
"How is it a woman?"
When they saw the person who came, everyone silently retracted this sentence in their hearts. This is a woman, living a living King Kong.
I saw that Mama Rong was draped all over her body, with two axes hanging on the left and right, if it wasn't for the bulging pouch on her chest, it seemed that Cheng Biting Jin was coming at first glance.
These people are definitely enough to deal with the two dozen or so people in it. If they were allowed to save people, the generals would hesitate in vain. People always understand their hearts when they are most urgent, and when it comes to the matter, the generals of Daqi finally made a very difficult decision!
You have to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and you can't follow King Qi to death!
"Brothers, we can't hesitate any longer, if we let them rescue King Qi, we won't be able to turn back. It doesn't matter if we die or not, we have enjoyed it, think about the parents of our children, do you want them to become thieves? β
"No way!"
Everyone's decision was surprisingly unanimous, opened the door and came out, greeted Mama Rong, and said, "Your Excellency, stopβ"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Mama Rong laugh fiercely, picked up the axe, and the person who spoke became two halves.
"What are you doing? Come! β
The generals panicked, and some of them didn't even forget to draw their blades. didn't even let out a few screams, and was wiped out by the group of black-clothed people brought by Mama Rong.
Dozens of corpses fell to the ground horizontally, and at this point, the entire back house of the Qi Palace, those who could afford to hold swords, except for a few people trapped in the guest house, were all out of breath. There are still people from King Qi in the front yard, but there was a strict order before, and the back house of the palace is not allowed to enter and exit at will, even if there is a voice outside, there is no military order, and they dare not come in.
All the guards in the front yard gathered near the corridor at the junction of the front and back yards, stretching their necks one by one to look inside, but it was useless, there was a shadow wall blocking it, only the sound could be heard, and the scene inside could not be seen, and the morale of the guards was obviously low.
It's no wonder that when King Qi rebelled and established himself as the emperor, no matter what his strength was, at that time, morale was still quite high, and when it suddenly happened to a major event, people's blood was always hot, not to mention these young people who were strong in blood and were easily bewitched.
But after the king of Qi ascended the throne, he just closed the city gate and started to dream of being an emperor. After a long time, people will inevitably calm down. And now that he has encountered this kind of incident, the king of Qi, who established himself as the emperor, has not even come out of the city, and he has been trapped by others, which is also too frustrating.
Li Mu also heard the screams outside. But his manpower is limited, and he is afraid of fraud, so he does not dare to divide people to see it. The crowd was back to back, looking out and inside the watchman, with torches in their hands, intending to throw them out if someone rushed over, and they were going to die!
Mama Rong finished cleaning up the body, and the sky was already dark. Mrs. Lu fell asleep, just woke up, freshened up, and walked from the side house as if she were visiting her own yard.
Mama Rong, who was dressed in a military uniform and had not yet dispersed the bloody gas, greeted her, bowed down and said, "Miss, there is a lot of firewood and grass piled up inside, it seems that Luoyang Hou is really planning to play with his life." β
"Impulsive!" Mrs. Lu said with some disappointment, but there was still appreciation in her eyes, obviously Li Mu's behavior, in her heart, what she didn't see was what she said.
"Huh?"
Li Mu finally couldn't help it, came to the inside of the courtyard wall of the guest house, eavesdropped on the voices outside, and happened to hear Mama Rong and Mrs. Lu talking, and couldn't help frowning.
That's right, it's them!
For Mrs. Lu, Li Mu is not afraid. He has no fear, no matter what the situation, he only needs to show his identity, it is impossible for Mrs. Lu to do anything to him, which is also the confidence for him to dare to sneak into Qizhou City unscrupulously.
But this mother, he still doesn't plan to admit it: "It turned out to be you!" Mrs. Lu, long time no see! β
"Ears are weird." Mrs. Lu shook her head helplessly, and said to Li Mu: "Long time no see, Master Hou." β
"Madame, let me guess, I originally thought what the use of so much food was not for fighting with me. Now that the truth is revealed, Madame's plan is far-reaching. It's just that I don't understand, how smart a lady is, why would she do such a stupid thing? Do you think that just with the land of Qizhou, such a little soldiers and horses, and so much money and food, you can subvert the Tang Dynasty, right? Not to mention that Datang has millions of soldiers, let's just say that those generals in the court, just one of them, is not something that people in Qizhou can resist, how ridiculous! β
"Ridiculous?" Mrs. Lu had a smile on her face, obviously chatting with Li Mu, she was very happy: "I don't think it's ridiculous, although Qizhou has only one state, but the heir hall has the wealth of the world." There is no shortage of money and food, even if the imperial court besieges Qizhou from now until next year, I dare to guarantee that no one will starve to death here. β
"Also, the details of the step-heir hall, my stupid sister is afraid that she told you a lot, but I tell you, she doesn't know everything. Who said that there is no one in the heir hall, I have not been operating in vain in the past ten years, all over the Central Plains, in every state and county, there are my people, once the situation is successful, who will kill the deer, it is not yet known? β
Yo?
Li Mu was a little speechless, and wondered how old people were still playful. And this is not the time to be playful, your partner is dying!
"Madam, let's not mention the matter of who killed the deer, I really don't understand, what is the benefit of you working so hard? Have you found your son? β
Mrs. Lu said in her heart, I found it, isn't it you? But she didn't say it, and said, "Son, I haven't found it yet." But it doesn't matter, what needs to be done, you still have to do it. You don't seem to get any benefit from me, but do you know how much I hate Li Shimin? I don't need any benefit, he is not doing well, he is having a bad life, I am considered to be a benefit! I'm happy! It's not in vain! Mrs. Lu said in her heart, I found it, isn't it you? But she didn't say it, and said, "Son, I haven't found it yet." But it doesn't matter, what needs to be done, you still have to do it. You don't seem to get any benefit from me, but do you know how much I hate Li Shimin? I don't need any benefit, he is not doing well, he is having a bad life, I am considered to be a benefit! I'm happy! It's not in vain! β
Mrs. Lu said in her heart, I found it, isn't it you? She didn't say it, and said, "Ahhh
