Shameless! This is outside the agreement, and you are untrustworthy. Lu Zhongtian shouted.

Lin Jue took a sip and said, "You just don't talk about credit when I don't talk about it, so what?" You don't want to think about yourself, do you talk to me? To change or not to change? If you don't change me, you'll go. When you attack, I guarantee that Lu Tianci will turn into a human stick. Don't you know what a stick looks like? You'll see for yourself what a human stick is. ”

Lu Zhongtian shouted angrily: "You are the most shameless and untrustworthy person in the world, and at this time, you have come to put forward conditions." ”

Lin Jue bared a neat row of white teeth and smiled: "Don't you dare to be, you are the first in the world, I can only go to the back row at most, maybe the top ten can't be ranked." To say yes or not to agree? I don't have time to grind. ”

In Lu Zhongtian's mind, his son's life always comes first, don't look at what he says, but as long as there is a choice, he will not rashly give up his son's life. Of course, if Lin Jue was unwilling to release Lu Tianci at this time, it would indicate that this person planned to hold Lu Tianci hostage for the rest of his life. In that case, Lu Zhongtian would never tolerate it. But now the other party is just asking for a hostage change, and the son will be released. Don't think about the rest first, it's the key to get out of danger first.

"Who are you going to take hostage? Could it be that the old man can't do it? Hmph, then your calculation is wrong. Lu Zhongtian first took a preventive shot and told Lin Juexiu that he wanted to play tricks. It is absolutely impossible for him to be a hostage, and even if his son dies, it is impossible for him to sacrifice himself to save him, this is the bottom line.

"Don't worry, I won't change you, and you don't have to remind me. He's the one I'm going to change. Lin Jue's finger pointed to Lu Zhongtian's side and said in a deep voice.

Lu Zhongtian was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and happened to see Wu Chunlai's panicked and surprised appearance.

"I ...... I...... I? Wu Chunlai was stunned, pointing to his nose and stammering.

"Yes, that's right, it's you, Lord Wu. The time has come for Lord Wu to show your loyalty, and exchange yourself for Lu Yanei, which is called sacrificing oneself to save others. Lu Xiang will definitely pay more attention to you and be moved. You wouldn't want to, would you? Lin Jue said with a smile.

Wu Chunlai shouted: "Bastard thing, it's impossible, how can I be your hostage?" You don't want to. You are deliberately hurting me. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said to Lu Zhongtian: "Lu Xiang, I have already crossed out the Dao, and it is your business to disagree." Please ask Lu Xiang to decide. ”

Lu Zhongtian frowned and said, "Can you change someone?" Lord Wu cannot be a hostage. ”

Wu Chunlai was so grateful that he almost cried.

"Lu Xiang, except for Wu Chunlai, I don't want anyone, I want him. If you don't want to, then we'll break up. Lin Jue said.

Lu Tianci screamed: "Wu Chunlai, why don't you want to?" Didn't you tell me that you would do anything for me? Now I call you to replace me, and you don't want to? You're always lying, aren't you? ”

Wu Chunlai frowned and said: "These are two different things, it's not that I don't want to, but ...... It's ......"

Wu Chun came for a long time, and he couldn't tell a reason. He vaguely understood in his heart that Lin Jue did it on purpose. He can't be a hostage, Lin Jue will definitely kill himself.

Wu Chunlai tried to persuade Lu Zhongtian not to agree to his unreasonable demands, which was obviously Lin Jue's conspiracy. But when he turned his head and saw Lu Zhongtian's eyes looking at him, he thought to himself, "Oh no." ”

"Spring comes, how does the old man treat you on weekdays?" Lu Zhongtian's tone was very kind, however, Wu Chunlai was so frightened by this sentence that he almost peed his pants.

"Lu Xiang treats me like a mountain...... But ......"

"Listen to the old man's words. The old man treats you as if you were his own son. For so many years, you have been faithful to my side before and after the saddle, and you are very compatible with the old man. The old man is also good to you, you went from a mere jinshi to become a deputy minister in less than ten years, of course, this is due to your own ability, but the old man's support is also indispensable. This time, the old man encountered such a problem, you say...... What to do? ”

Lu Zhongtian tilted his head and looked at Wu Chunlai and said in a deep voice. He saw the panic and fear in Wu Chunlai's eyes.

"No, Lu Xiang, this is their trick, trying to ...... Trying to kill me. Lu Xiang, I am old and young, it doesn't matter if something happens to me, the key is that I can't be on them. Wu Chunlai hurriedly said.

"I know...... I know. But now that the situation is deadlocked, God needs someone to change it back, what do you say? Don't worry, the old man doesn't think they will do anything, they are just looking for a hostage. You are the vice minister of Da Zhou, they will not do anything to you. You say, don't you? ”

Wu Chunlai scolded in his heart, and thought angrily: "Nothing will happen?" Then why don't you let your son stay in their hands? I have a grudge against Lin Jue, is it good to fall into his hands? ”

"No, no, no, it's not difficult to think about it. What can't they do? Lu Xiang, they hate me to the bone, you must not send me to them, then the official will be finished. Wu Chunlai waved his hand and shouted.

Lu Zhongtian sighed: "You don't want to go, do you?" ”

"It's not that I won't, but that I ......"

"That's Ken?" Lu Zhongtian interrupted him.

"It's not ...... It's because ......"

"What are you doing? If you are willing, you will be willing, if you are not willing, what will you do? What are you worried about? Afraid they'll kill you? Don't worry, my family, parents, wife and children will take care of them for the rest of my life. This time you saved my God-given life, and the old man and you are brothers, sharing blessings and difficulties. What do you think? ”

Wu Chunlai's heart was full of 10 million grass and mud horses galloping past, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Lu Zhongtian said: "Don't worry, the old man won't attack." As long as you are useful, they will not kill you. You don't have to worry. ”

Wu Chunlai gritted his teeth and said, "No, Lu Xiang should invite another Gao Ming, I'm afraid Chunlai won't be able to go." ”

Lu Zhongtian's face changed, and he said coldly: "So you don't want to?" The old man understood. ”

"It's not that I don't want to, but I ......" Wu Chunlai put the problem into a dead loop again.

"Chunlai, you'd better not force the old man to be strong." Lu Zhongtian turned his head and said coldly.

Wu Chunlai's face turned red, and he said in a deep voice: "Lu Xiang, Chunlai is loyal to Lu Xiang, and his liver and brain are smeared, but in the end, he is worthless in Lu Xiang's heart?" Do you disregard my life and death so much, and send me into the jaws of the tiger? ”

Lu Zhongtian frowned and said: "Spring comes, of course the old man doesn't want to, but they asked you to change people by name, but it wasn't the old man who chose you." ”

Wu Chunlai laughed and said angrily: "I understand, in Lu Xiang's heart, the life of the son of Yanei is much more expensive than my life Wu Chunlai." Even if I, Wu Chunlai, have done so many things for Lu Xiang, it is not as important as your incompetent Yanai Gongzi in your mind. Lu Xiang, you are too chilling. In your heart, I, Wu Chunlai, am you raising a dog, right? The bird is hidden, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and at this time, I can take it to death at will. Hehehe, it's really unpredictable, and the world is hot and cold. I should have thought of this a long time ago. ”

Lu Zhongtian said coldly: "Spring comes, don't say negative words. In the old man's heart, he regards you as a son. How has the old man treated you over the years? If it is given to them today, and they ask you to exchange it by name, what should you teach the old man to do? Maybe Tianci is really incompetent, but after all, he is the son of the old man, and he is the only seedling of my Lu family, and the old man can't help it. Don't worry, the old man will save you like a godsend. They don't dare to touch you, otherwise the old man will kill them all. You can rest assured. ”

Wu Chunlai sighed and bowed his head silently. His eyes were full of anger and resentment, but he knew that it was useless to say anything. has followed Lu Zhongtian for many years, how can he not know Lu Zhongtian's temperament. It seems to be gentle, but in fact, it is extremely ruthless inside. I will never change my mind because of my own request or defense. He just felt sorry for himself. After so many years of loyally following him, in the end he still abandoned him.

"Someone. Escort Vice Minister Wu to the opposite side to replace. Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice.

The three guards moved over and surrounded Wu Chunlai's mount on three sides, one on the left and one on the rear, leaving only one road ahead. Wu Chunlai sighed, stretched out his hand and tore off the official hat on his head, threw it to the ground, and rode away in laughter. The horseshoe stepped the official hat into the dust, and trampled the precious jade inlaid on it into pieces.

With a cold smile in his eyes, Lin Jue watched Wu Chunlai ride his horse. When Wu Chunlai came closer, Lin Jue shouted in a deep voice: "Take this guy." ”

Sun Dayong stepped forward with a brother, dragged Wu Chunlai off the horse, and brought him to Lin Jue with his clothes.

Wu Chunlai's face turned pale, and he said stubbornly: "Lin Jue, I advise you, it's better to let me go, I may be able to get you out of trouble." Taking me hostage will do you no good. ”

Lin Jue laughed and said, "At this time, are you still so arrogant? Your master has given up on you. I just said it casually, but I didn't expect your master to be willing to exchange you for you, which shows that you are just a dog in his mind. You are a character that can be sacrificed anytime and anywhere. Don't you understand that? ”

Wu Chunlai's face was pale, and he was silent.

Lin Jue no longer paid attention to him, and said in a deep voice: "Send the son of Yanei back." ”

Sun Dayong whispered beside him: "My lord, do you really want to do this? ”

Everyone around also looked at Lin Jue, they always thought that letting Lu Tianci go was an unwise move, and it was a woman's kindness. So I've always had some pimples in my heart.

Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "I have already made the truth very clear. If you still don't think it's enough, I'll say the simplest of things. Although Lu Tianci is arrogant, he is just a stubborn man after all. Despite years of conflict, there are no unforgivable crimes. If we want to attack Lu Zhongtian just because he is the son, then what is the difference between us and them? It is the simplest truth that the disaster will not affect the relatives of children and grandchildren. There is a wrongdoer, and the debtor is the owner, not their family. You should understand this truth. ”

Everyone was speechless when they heard this, indeed, although Lu Tianci was smiling, he didn't actually do anything really disgusting. made trouble several times, and they were all punished, but there were no radical actions. If you want to kill all of Lu Zhongtian's family because of Lu Zhongtian, wouldn't you be the same kind of person as Lu Zhongtian.

Ma Bin let go of Lu Tianci's arm and shouted in a deep voice: "Lu Tianci, you can go." ”

Lu Tianci's legs were weak, and he looked at Lin Jue tremblingly and asked, "You guys...... Did you really let me go? ”

Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Then there is still a fake? Don't do any more evil when you go back, you know our methods, and we will find you and catch you at any time. It's easy to take your dog's life. You have fallen into my hands twice, and you should know that I am right. ”

Lu Tianci arched his hand again and again: "I believe, I believe." I'm not convinced by anyone, so I'm convinced by you Lin Jue. My father also admires you very much, the person who dares to go against my father like this, and the person who teaches my father that you can't do anything about it, I'm afraid you are the only one. I want to be friends with you. So...... Can I go? ”

Lin Jue nodded and smiled, "You can go." ”

Lu Tianci said: "You shouldn't shoot an arrow at my back from behind?" ”

Lin Jue laughed, suddenly reached out and grabbed the crossbow in his hand, and said coldly: "You reminded me, it must be fun." Lu Tianci, let's play a game, I will only shoot you in the back, if you can make me not shoot your back, I will never do it. ”

Lu Tianci was stunned and speechless, and suddenly laughed and said, "Hehehehe, talking counts, I have a way." If I go backwards, you won't be able to. ”

As he spoke, Lu Tianci actually faced Lin Jue and stepped back backwards, Lin Jue and the others laughed and watched this clown's performance, watching him fall backwards all the way, sometimes falling to the ground by the stones behind him, and stumbling for dozens of steps, until more than a dozen guards on the other side rushed forward to answer him and brought him back to Lu Zhongtian's side.

"Lu Zhongtian, Ling Lang has returned, I haven't broken my trust in you. I hope you also keep your promises, and it's best not to provoke us. Otherwise, Vice Prime Minister Wu will fall to the ground. Lin Jue said in a loud voice.

Lu Zhongtian laughed and said: "Of course, the old man is also a trustworthy person. You must ensure the safety of Vice Minister Wu. The old man will not order the attack, rest assured. Lin Jue, just because you can release my son, the old man admires you very much. You have such a heart, the old man is ashamed of himself. ”

Lin Jue laughed and said: "Lu Xiangke doesn't want to kill me, I don't have any bearing, I have always been a person who will be revenged." All the people who killed me, the people who killed Mr. Fang and Lord Yan, and the people who killed the brothers around me, I will remember this account, and I will definitely pay for it with blood. It's just that there is a wrong, there is a debtor, and the disaster does not affect the relatives and friends of women and children. If I kill Ling Lang, will I not be like some people, and I will become an unscrupulous beast? ”

Lu Zhongtian said with a smile: "Everyone acts differently, but there is no difference between superior and inferior. Based on your trip today, the old man promises you that if you fall into my hands in the future, I will give you a whole corpse. Your wife, children, and family, and I will leave them a way to live. ”

Lin Jue laughed and said, "In this way, I seem to want to thank Lu Xiang." But don't worry, you want me to fall into your hands, unless the sun comes out in the west. I'm afraid you don't have that hope in your life. I'm leaving. Lu Xiang said goodbye, maybe never again. ”

Lu Zhongtian smiled and arched his hand: "It's okay if you don't see it, it's okay if you don't see it." Say goodbye. ”

The two sides turned their horses' heads and parted ways.

……

As the sun sets, the tired birds return home. It was a time when all things in heaven and earth were going to recuperate, but Lin Jue and the others in Akakura Town had to leave immediately. Because after handing over the trump card in his hand, Lin Jue predicted that the next attack was coming. He had to respond.

In the bluestone clearing next to the well under the locust tree at the entrance of the town, Lin Jue, Guo Bing and others gathered together to discuss.

Guo Bing's face was pale and frightened, and he hadn't closed his eyes since last night. The son was seriously injured, his injuries were getting worse, and he lost everything at once. Coupled with the night of horror in the capital, he was already haggard. The bags under his eyes were drooping, his eyes were dark and blue, and his face was full of tiredness.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I predict that the other side will attack soon. Once they cover up, we will hardly be immune. In view of the current situation, the wounded soldiers and carts could not escape the pursuit of the opposing cavalry, so we had to block them to ensure the evacuation of the wounded soldiers and wagons. It's getting late at the moment and this is a great opportunity for us. Father-in-law, I have decided to divide some of my men to protect you and leave first, while the rest ambush the pursuers in this Akakura Town. It's getting dark, and that's good for us. The cavalry brigade at night could not attack quickly, and this was not the wide streets, mountains, and rugged terrain of the city, which was not good for them. So my estimation is that even if they pursue, they won't be at night. Tonight they will move slowly and keep their distance. Tomorrow morning, it will be time for them to cover up and kill. I don't know what you think. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

"What the county horse master said is extremely true, now it is necessary to let the slow ones go first, and harass and block the pursuers. I think the terrain of Akakura Town was also taken into consideration, with a tributary of the Bianhe River to the south and a large paddy field to the north, and only one major road in the town, which made it easy for us to ambush. Because in front of Guo Bing, Shen Tan couldn't call Lin Jue a brother, so he changed his title to Jun Ma Ye.

Guo Bing wiped the sweat on his face and drank a sip of cold and tasteless well water, but he almost choked on himself, and coughed a few times before saying, "But...... Where are we going? Lin Jue, the Funiu Mountain you mentioned is still two hundred miles away, can we get there? Can we stop so many soldiers and horses from pursuing? Gee, that's not easy. ”

Lin Jue said: "Father-in-law, no matter how difficult it is, we have to fight with our lives to do it." There is no chance at all if you don't do it. The father-in-law was relieved, and the son-in-law also made some arrangements. Tonight you go west and join the Roses. They are sixty miles to the west, and they are moving more slowly, and I expect you will be able to catch up with them tomorrow morning. At that time, Cai Wei will take care of you, and you and your mother-in-law will be at ease. The convoy was carrying medicines that could treat the injured in a timely manner. As for the blocking war here, my father-in-law doesn't have to worry about it, everything has us, so you don't have to worry. ”

When Guo Bing heard Guo Caiwei's name, he smiled rarely. Nodding his head, he said, "Okay, it's just hard for you." Vile: They're just ahead? Okay, then how about catching up. Kun'er's situation is very bad, and I am really worried. ”

Ma Bin said: "Lord, you don't have to think about anything, just leave everything to Lord Lin." Don't look at our small number of people, we can kill from the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the capital, who dares to say that we can do it? I believe Brother Lin can do it. ”

Guo Bing nodded and said: "Okay, you are all good, I, Guo Bing, used to have thousands of scribes and staff in the mansion, and in the end they all scattered like birds and beasts, but what followed the king was the guards and those of you who didn't have much contact." This king really sighed about this matter, as the so-called people go to tea and cool, people who tend to be hot and powerful are unreliable, only you are trustworthy. If you can regain the good fortune one day, this king will not forget your merits. ”

Lin Jue frowned and was silent, Guo Bing said these words at this time It was really disgusting, if these people in front of him were to be prosperous and rich, they would never have come to such a point. Guo Bing and his son are afraid that they will never understand for the rest of their lives that there is not only the attraction of interests between people, but the most solid thing is not the alliance of interests, but the word affection.

"Father-in-law, before you go, we have to dispose of one person. Commander Shen, please escort Wu Chunlai up. Lin Jue said.
