Chapter 865: Aftermath
After a killing stopped, the ground was covered with corpses, and the brocade guards, who were full of ferocity just now, showed some worry and dazed looks on their faces at this time, and they all turned their heads to look at Lu Jin, who had just come out of the carriage, obviously trying to find courage and reason from their own governor.
Lu Jin's gaze also swept around the body of the palace guards on the ground, and then said coldly: "What are you still doing in a daze, check it again, don't leave it alive." โ
"Huh?" These brocade guards looked at him in surprise, they didn't expect his first words to be so unsparing. But they had long been accustomed to obeying Lu Dudu's orders, and immediately everyone split up, and came to the fallen people with swords dripping blood continuously, carefully examined their situation, and as long as they were not breathing, they quickly made up for it, and killed them completely, so that they would never suffer again.
At this time, Yao Gan, who had solved the rest of the people on the mountain, also walked down slowly, and when he saw this scene, he was not slightly stunned: "Dudu, this ......"
Lu Zhen exhaled a breath of turbid air slowly, and then said loudly in a voice that everyone could hear clearly: "Since it is no longer dead, then there must be no hidden dangers left." It can also be regarded as a signal to the enemy to let them know how serious the fate of being an enemy of ours is. โ
After a pause, he added, "Do you think it's too ruthless to do this?" After all, these people are also my Ming soldiers, so there is no need to kill them all like dealing with Tartars? Hearing him say this, many people's actions are a meal, and it is obvious that everyone does have such concerns in their hearts.
Lu Zhen also saw this, so he said coldly: "Then have you ever thought about why they can do such a thing so skillfully?" I'm afraid that long before they attacked us, these so-called royal guards did not fail to poison innocent people. It's just that this time they were unlucky and happened to bump into us. Otherwise, if they were replaced by others, they would have gone on a killing spree and killed all the innocent businessmen. โ
This is quite reasonable, and the pressure on the hearts of all his subordinates is wide. Although Jin Yiwei has always been known for his ruthlessness, there are indeed a lot of people killed this time, and in the end, it was almost a one-sided slaughter, which naturally made them a little vague.
Yao Gan had already understood at this time, and echoed casually: "What the adults said is good. I've been following them and watching them set traps in the mountains. In fact, if I hadn't broken the mechanism in time, I'm afraid that my brothers would have been caught off guard by his killing, and then they would not have been merciful to us. Now it's just a tooth for a tooth! โ
"A tooth for a tooth!" Everyone's spirit suddenly lifted, the confusion in their eyes quickly turned into a murderous machine, the movements in their hands no longer hesitated, and when the knife fell in their hands, they ended the palace guards who were still breathing on the spot.
In fact, Lu Jin's words are really good, these people are palace guards on weekdays, but what they do after receiving orders to go out is often no different from bandits and bandits. Therefore, their death can only be regarded as self-inflicted, and they are full of evil.
At this time, the rain falling from the dark sky overhead was getting heavier and heavier, and under the washing of the rain, the blood on the road flowed into the ravine on the side, making people feel more and more chilled.
With the last guard completely eliminated, everyone regathered in front of Lu Zhen and looked at him: "Dudu, what should we do with these corpses?" โ
"Just throw it on the side of the road, I think the Zhou Wangfu will definitely try its best to cover it up." The corners of Lu Jin's mouth curled, compared to his own side, it was obvious that Zhou Wangfu was more reluctant to let this matter be exposed.
Everyone thought about it for a while, and finally believed his judgment, and then they got on their horses again, escorted Lu Jin's carriage, and continued to go straight to Xingze. After a few moments, the centaurs completely disappeared into the night, in the rain.
It was a long time before a few figures peeked out of the woods, and only after they were convinced that there were no more of those terrible creatures were there were men dared to come forward. Then they saw the corpses that had been killed by the mending knife all over the ground, and they immediately exclaimed again.
Zhu Yan looked at everything in front of him with a blank expression, he hoped that all this was just a nightmare. It's a pity that this is a living fact, his entire plan failed, and it failed extremely miserably, and it also led to the death of more than 100 people at the hands of the other party.
"Steward Zhu ......" Someone glanced at him and asked and shouted.
After a while, Zhu Yan came back to his senses slightly, and said tremblingly: "Let's ...... Then go back and report the matter to the prince, so that he can decide......"

The fine Jun kiln porcelain cup of "Snap ......" fell to the ground again and shattered, but this time it was not because of King Zhou's anger and fell to the ground, but because of excessive shock, his hand trembled and loosened, and he failed to hold the cup steadily. Looking at our Zhou Wang Chitose again, you can find that his whole person is already wooden, his face has become pale, and his slightly trembling body shows the horror in his heart!
Yes, it's just horror! Because the news brought by Zhu Yan's embarrassment this time was too unbelievable and sensationalโmore than 200 palace guards were prepared to ambush only a dozen or twenty people. As a result, not only did they lose a lot, but they also lost hundreds of lives, and few people could believe such things.
But this is a fact, because these palace guards who fled back in embarrassment were almost all wounded, and they were obviously chased and killed after a defeat, and they were lucky to get their lives. And no one will lie about such things, just looking at Zhu Yan's palpitating appearance, you can see that he has already broken his courage.
"How...... How so? Aren't they just a bunch of ordinary businessmen? Why did the man sent by the king suffer such a terrible defeat? At this moment, King Zhou couldn't even get angry, he just muttered with confusion and disbelief, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
And Zhu Zhe, who was standing at the bottom of his hand, also looked frightened, he was also frightened by this result, but he was quite calm, and guessed that the guy named Zheng Lu must not be an ordinary person. This is not only because the people under his command have this combat power, and they can actually achieve one enemy and ten, but also because of the courage they showed in this matter, you must know that what they encountered was the people of the Zhou Palace, even if they could win, ordinary people would not dare to kill like this. But they just did it, and they killed hundreds of people......
But Zhu Zhe immediately discovered that in fact, the most urgent problem now is not to find out the true identity of Zheng Lu, but how to cover up the matter. Once the people outside knew that the palace guards had suffered such casualties, it was difficult to guarantee what kind of accounts would come out.
Therefore, he didn't care that King Zhou was still uncertain at this time, his face was full of apprehension, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lord Wang, the top priority now is not how to deal with Zheng Lu and his gang, but to bring back our people who died in battle, otherwise the consequences will be serious." โ
After his reminder, King Zhou came back to his senses slightly, nodded and said, "What you said is right, this matter is indeed urgent." It's up to you, and you have to get things done and nothing goes wrong. โ
"Yes, little one." Zhu Zhe hurriedly agreed, and after glancing at Zhu Zhen, who had been kneeling on the ground and did not move for half a minute after reporting everything, he went out without looking back. He knew that this failure had almost cut off all of Zhu Yan's way of life.
However, at this time, Chief Steward Zhu had no time to help his companions, and just how to bring the corpse back secretly and give a reasonable explanation to the court and the people was enough to give him a headache. After all, the palace can't always claim to the outside world that it was because it was an ambush for a certain group of merchants that they were killed by others, resulting in such a large casualty, right? The only good news is that there are not too many pedestrians due to the recent weather shortage, and as long as you move fast enough, there is still room for recovery.
After he left for a long time, King Zhou really calmed down from the panic just now, and then saw Zhu Yan who was still kneeling in front of him, and immediately found a channel to vent the horror in his heart: "You group of wastes have actually brought such a big disaster to this king!" Someone, drag him out for me, kill the dogs! โ
Zhu Yan, who was already kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, nor dared to open his mouth to beg for mercy, heard this, his body trembled even more, and he hurriedly opened his mouth and begged for mercy screaming: "The prince spares his life, the little one knows his mistakes, give the little one another chance, I will definitely not make mistakes again......"
But these words couldn't move King Zhou at all, nor could they calm the anger in his heart. At this time, several palace guards with big shoulders and round waists had already entered the palace, dragged Zhu Yan up from the ground, and dragged him outside to be tortured with a cane. Zhu Yan, who was picked up, knew that his life and death were only between this line, so he struggled again, and continued to shout: "Lord Wang, there must be something wrong with this matter, it was someone who leaked our plan, which made the other party prepared, and caused our ambush to fail...... In fact, he didn't know what the truth was, but in order to protect himself, he could only make up a nonsense, but he didn't expect to let him really say it."
However, although these words made King Zhou hesitate slightly, he did not take back his life after all, and still watched Zhu Yan being dragged out of the door, and the shouts went farther and farther...... This time the failure of the matter is naturally to find someone to take the blame, since Zhu Ke has been killed, it can only be borne by Zhu Ke.
"Is there really anyone around this king who is ventilating to the outside world?" King Zhou's face then became more and more gloomy, and he began to doubt everyone around him. A person like him, who has never suffered a defeat blow, once he encounters a setback, it is naturally impossible to reflect on himself, but to blame others for his mistakes.
