Chapter 721: Pull back from the precipice

Someone was already in ambush outside the window!

Xu Ziyang instantly understood, and regretted it in his heart, and his face was like dead ashes in the blink of an eye.

He tried to struggle, but jumping out of the window was already a little difficult for him, and with a short knife on his neck, he had no chance of getting out. Especially when he saw the appearance of the person in front of him clearly through the light of the stars and the moon, the last bit of luck dissipated.

Although he didn't say anything to this person, he clearly remembered that this was one of the guards who often followed Lu Jin. It can be seen that this man who is not too tall and has some foreign blood is a powerful character. Even if he let go of his hands and feet to fight with him, with his current cultivation, he is far from being his opponent, let alone being restrained by one of his moves.

And just after this capture, another figure also flew out of the window quickly, and it was Ah Hu who chased him out after saving Xu Chengzong. It wasn't until he saw Xu Ziyang being taken down by Qinggel in one fell swoop that he stood still and let out a long sigh of relief. If you let this guy get away with his own hands, it's a big responsibility.

Then he stepped forward and, together with Chingele, caught him left and right, and sent him into the house again. At this time, the two of them were still sitting on their chairs, looking really embarrassed and funny.

"Brother Lu, since you have already calculated, why do we still take this risk? He was actually drugged by him......" Xu Chengzong's face was bitter, this feeling of weakness was too uncomfortable.

"I'm just guessing, not to mention that I didn't know that he would actually be the leader of the White Lotus Sect. And if you and I weren't really poisoned, which made him let down his vigilance, how could he tell his secrets? Lu Zhen said, and glanced at Xu Ziyang who was brought in: "Sect Leader Xu, what I said is good, right?" ”

"Hmph...... Now that it's all in your hands, whatever you say is what you say. Xu Ziyang's face was full of remorse, he was indeed a little carried away before. If the identity of the White Lotus Sect Master hadn't been told just now, there would still be room for things to turn around, at least even if they took it down, they wouldn't look too closely, so there would be a chance to get out. But now, just looking at Ah Hu and the two of them holding themselves like enemies, you can know what will greet you.

And after seeing the embarrassing appearance of the two of them still unable to move, Ah Hu was a little anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Xu Zhang, you quickly take out the antidote!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and searched for a while, but found nothing, not even a single thing like medicine.

"Do you think I'll be so obedient?" Xu Ziyang's heart suddenly moved, and he felt that this might be an opportunity. But before he could continue, Xu Chengzong spoke: "Ah Hu, you don't have to be nervous, I know the medicinal properties of this soft tendon powder, it doesn't matter if there is no antidote, as long as you don't take it all year round, after a few hours, it will be naturally fine." ”

"...... you" Xu Ziyang glared angrily, and then he remembered that in order to drug Xu Xianzong, he had told the truth about the characteristics of this soft tendon. It's just that he didn't expect it, but he blocked his last retreat.

When Lu Zhen heard this, his heart was also relieved. He was really afraid that the poison of this White Lotus Sect was strange, and if the other party would rather die than hand over the antidote, he would have to suffer. Immediately, he laughed again: "Sect Master Xu, do you know, you have done the two of us a great favor this time." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xu Ziyang asked casually.

"Originally, I was going to persuade Brother Xu to let him put all the charges on you, but he also had some concerns. In addition to feeling sorry for you, the main thing is that you can't afford to be so guilty as a steward. But now it's worry-free, as the White Lotus Sect Leader Xu Ziyang, your identity is enough to bear the big crime of trying to rebel this time. Lu Zhen looked at it with a smile, and his tone was full of ridicule and the triumph of the winner.

And these words and his expression made Xu Ziyang even more angry. However, he also knew his situation, so he just stared at the other party fiercely: "Lu Jin, don't be complacent, although I am in your hands now, this time the matter is like an arrow, and you can't take it back if you want to." So it's hard to say what the result will be! ”

"yes, so that's all the more necessary for your identity." Lu Zhen nodded lightly and glanced at Xu Chengzong beside him, who looked a little dazed at this time.

In fact, if you change anyone, you will feel that the six gods have no master at this time, because the ups and downs of this day are too big. The things he had planned for many years were revealed, and he found that his henchmen who had always been loyal were actually using him, and there was another layer of identity, as well as the death of his brother and the inside story, the impact of the piles on his psychology was huge, and it was natural that he couldn't react in a short period of time.

Fortunately, there was Lu Zhen beside him, and seeing that he looked a little dazed, he reminded: "Brother Xu, as he said, the matter has indeed reached the point where it cannot be delayed, and we must suppress this matter as soon as possible." Otherwise, if something happens, you will be to blame. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Tomorrow, I will summon the relevant people to the mansion and tell the truth that all this is a conspiracy of the White Lotus Sect. I think they should be able to distinguish the priority, and there are hidden dangers inside and outside, so I think they will still accept this proposal for their own safety. Lu Jin said sincerely.

Now, Xu Chengzong doesn't seem to be able to find a second way except to follow what Lu Zhen said. So after a moment of silence, he answered. It was only then that he realized how ridiculous and unrealistic his original idea was, and he was completely used as a gun by the White Lotus Sect.

@@@@@

After listening to Xu Chengzong's explanation, the hall was suddenly silent, and the military attaches and generals who rushed over were completely dumbfounded.

In their original thoughts, since Xu Xianzong had already entered the ground yesterday, Xu Chengzong, who had really become the Duke of Wei today, was looking for himself and others to discuss the matter of raising troops. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he said that he would give up the whole plan, and pointed out that all this was actually a conspiracy of the White Lotus Sect, which was something that everyone could not accept for a while.

Of course, in addition to being surprised and dazed, many people actually feel a little relieved. Because they are also vague, this is a major event of rebellion, if it becomes a natural glory, wealth and enjoyment, everyone will become the founding hero, but what if it is defeated?

Originally, they hadn't thought about it yet. But as the time approaches, there are more thoughts about gains and losses. The thought of the devastating blow that a failure would bring to themselves and their entire families was a source of unrest for these people.

So when they heard Xu Chengzong say that they were going to give up on this matter, they felt relieved, at least they didn't have to take the risk.

However, there were also people who couldn't accept this change, and a general with a full face said very unhappily: "Guogong, we have been preparing for so many years, if we give up now, won't our previous efforts be in vain?" Also, once the news of this matter spreads, I'm afraid that our situation will be difficult. ”

This is indeed a question, and everyone frowned when they heard it: "Yes, Grandpa Xu, we can give up this matter, but once the court knows, it may not let us go." ”

Rebellion is the biggest crime, even if it's just an idea, once it is exposed, the consequences will be a big crime of stealing the family and exterminating the family. All of you here, if you count one person as one, don't think you can get out.

"Well, I have my own way. In fact, all of this was instigated by the rebels of the White Lotus Sect, and we did all this just to lure them out. Now that the White Lotus Sect Leader Xu Ziyang has fallen into our hands, as long as we send him to the capital and put all the blame on the head of the White Lotus Sect's traitors, the imperial court will naturally not pursue it too much. Xu Chengzong hurriedly reassured him according to the words he had discussed with Lu Zhen before.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be a little moved, he added: "What's more, now that our plan has long been known to Qincha, he has even sent people to contact the soldiers and horses of Zhejiang Province to watch behind, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers of Xiaolingwei are watching outside the city of Nanjing, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to get up as smoothly as expected." ”

"There is still such a thing ......" This time, the generals were completely confused. Originally, this incident was the idea of the soldiers, and they wanted to take advantage of the imperial court's failure to react to the city of Beijing. But now, everyone has taken precautions, and the rebellion is really sending them to death.

After a lot of persuasion with both hard and soft, the generals finally sighed and nodded in approval of Xu Chengzong's decision. Of course, they were a little frustrated, but fortunately, in line with the principle of secrecy, they had not yet told the soldiers below their true intentions, so the matter could still be stabilized.

After sending these people away, Xu Chengzong finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lu Jin, who came over: "In this way, things should be able to stop, right?" ”

"It's just the first step, and then it's up to them to perform." Lu Zhen smiled meaningfully.

At the same time, among the generals who left the Wei Mansion, there were still many people who were worried, and one of them frowned tightly, until he took his own soldiers and rode his horse away, and after being a little far away from everyone, he whispered to the personal guard beside him: "Something happened, Xu Chengzong suddenly regretted it, and he didn't want to raise troops as he had planned before, and even the sect leader had been taken down by him." ”

The guard was obviously stunned for a moment: "There is such a thing?" We must inform our brothers as soon as possible and save the Master! ”

That night, a carrier pigeon suddenly rose into the air from a military camp and flew straight to an unknown place.
