Chapter 137: The Poisoner (1)
The door suddenly opened, and golden sunlight came in, illuminating the small basement. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, it was the residence of a large family in the city, but because of the large area, a large number of bluestone walls and houses were used to build walls, which was extremely strong. In addition, the place is quite large, and now it has become Kong Yanzhou's Chinese army.
In fact, this basement was originally a kitchen, and the reason why it was located on the ground was because the temperature here was very low, even in May and June, there was still a cloudy wind inexplicably. The food is also not perishable when it is placed here.
At this moment, it has become a dungeon where prisoners are held.
Illuminated by the bright sunlight, Lu Benzhong, who was lying on the ground sleeping, woke up instantly.
In his dream just now, he dreamed that he had returned to his hometown in Huaixi and was enjoying the careful service of his wife and concubine. When I opened my eyes, I realized that I was still the prisoner.
There is no red sandalwood bed, no splendid windows, and no fruit and wine on the bedside table. Some were just empty cold stone slabs, with a musty smell coming to their noses, and a few cockroaches running quickly on the ground. There was a foul smell coming from the toilet in the corner.
Then there were two heavily armed guards with hideous faces standing in front of them.
A lowly soldier stretched out his foot and kicked his body, and scolded rudely: "When are you still standing up, get out, General Kong wants to see you." ”
"But you've already received Wang Daosi's flying pigeon message?" Lu Ben jumped up and asked urgently: "Has the Sizhou army withdrawn?" ”
"Remove your!" Another soldier stepped back from him: "Don't be wordy, tell you to go, you will go." ”
Like the other soldiers of the Kong family's army, after days of hard fighting, these two guards were also covered in dirt, their tattered clothes had been dried up and dried up and down the skin, and the smell of sour sweat emitted from their bodies made people want to vomit, and even covered the stench of feces in the toilet.
They saw that Lu Benzhong's eyes were full of murderous energy, if it weren't for Kong Yanzhou's surname Lu, they were afraid that this Mr. Donglai would have been torn to pieces a long time ago.
Lu Benzhong remembered his situation, immediately came over, and said: "Yes, yes, I will go to see General Kong, I will wash my face first." ”
By the sun, there was a frightened and haggard face in the wooden basin, which did not have the demeanor of the famous man of Huaiyou back then.
Out of the basement, Lu Ben Center was worried: the Sizhou army did not withdraw, this is terrible...... Wang Shen, the wolf, looks at the eagle Gu and is extremely ambitious, if he is willing to give up the fat of Qi Chun without eating just a few words from the old man. As for my life or death, that Du Gongmei's disciple doesn't care about it, and if I were me, he would definitely do the same...... The old man waited for a good life and thought of a way to live. Ants are still stealing life, and only by living can they talk about anything else. A certain person is also a big trust, and he made such a big mistake, and he can't regret it.
……
Yes, the biggest fault with this man in Lu Benzhong is arrogance. I feel that I am a famous man all over the world, an official of the imperial court, and the head of a group of prestigious families in Huaiyou, as long as I don't meet a Jurchen barbarian. No matter who it was, they treated him with courtesy. Otherwise, if he is displeased, the political consequences will be serious.
But he forgot that although he had a great reputation, he had no real power at hand. Once you encounter the kind of murderer who doesn't care about the consequences at all, it's Xiucai who meets the soldiers.
Originally, after Kong Yanzhou's army was defeated and returned to Qichun, Lu Benzhong should have fled before him. However, Old Man Lu felt that Kong Yanzhou couldn't stay here anyway, and he would definitely find a way to withdraw to the south of the Yangtze River to eat the army in the future. But I never expected that Kong Yanzhou would not escape, and he had the posture of defending Qi Chun, and he didn't know what madness he had?
In this way, Lu Benzhong was trapped in the city and couldn't get out.
Later, Lao Lu Tou pondered and immediately understood that Kong Yanzhou was afraid of the Jurchens who were still in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was afraid of being beaten by the Jin army, otherwise he would not have let all his soldiers shave their heads and pretend to be savages. In the opinion of the surnamed Kong, crossing the river now, if you meet Jin Bing, it is undoubtedly a food delivery. We have to wait for those invading armies to retreat to the north before we can talk about anything else, and for now, we can only stay in Qi and Huang.
It was also unlucky. There were so many people crowded into the city at once, and the food was suddenly insufficient. The hungry people began to stir up and fight with each other for food, and even the rats, snakes and insects in the city were turned out and eaten by them.
The fat carrier pigeon used by Lu Benzhong to communicate with Wang Shen was naturally targeted by the remnants of Kong Yanzhou, who were so hungry that their eyes were green, they didn't dare to offend Old Man Lu, but it was still okay to steal a few pigeons from him to eat.
This theft found Wang Shen's letter.
So, Lu Benzhong was imprisoned in a dungeon.
The strange letter he wrote to Wang Shen earlier was instructed by Kong Yanzhou to deliberately exaggerate the strength of the city many times and persuade Wang Shen to withdraw his troops.
Judging by the tone of this soldier's speech, Wang Shen naturally did not retreat. Lu Benzhong also didn't care, Wang Shen's retreat from the army had nothing to do with improving his current situation.
Now, Kong Yanzhou has completely turned his face. This is a butcher, and he must be prevented from harming the old man.
Hurt the old man...... If the thief still wants to leave a way back, he won't dare to borrow ten guts.
In the past few days, Lu Benzhong was imprisoned in a prison cell, and he was extremely embarrassed, but Kong Yanzhou still didn't do anything rough with him, which made Lao Lu Tou feel a little relieved.
As he walked, he lowered his head and pondered how to fool the beast when he saw Kong Yanzhou later, and he couldn't find the north. For the hole thief, he is naturally crushed by IQ.
At this moment, boom, a loud bang suddenly sounded in the distance.
Hearing the sound coming from the direction of the siege of the Sizhou army at Shuixi Gate, Lu Benzhong couldn't help but turn his head to look west.
But I saw that a cloud of white smoke rose up and formed a mushroom in the air, which looked very powerful.
The sound of gongs and drums and the panicked shouts of soldiers and civilians sounded everywhere in the old city: "The Sizhou army has attacked the city!" ”
"Gather the troops, gather the troops!"
"Fire attack, fire attack, the west city gate is burning, go quickly!"
I saw Kong Yanzhou running towards the gate with a black face and a group of soldiers with his whole body: "Keep up, straight lady thief, the king thief is annoying, he actually dug a tunnel overnight." ”
He glared at Lu Benzhong fiercely, and ordered: "Take me to my house and wait first, and then come back to take care of this old man when Lao Tzu kills Wang Shen." ”
So, Lu Benzhong was taken to Kong Yanzhou's room.
Old man Lu was locked up in the dungeon for a few days, feeling depressed in his heart, so hungry that he didn't say anything, and he was hungry for books.
When I saw a shelf of books in the room, I didn't care about so many at the moment, so I immediately pulled out one and read it greedily. There was a voice in his mouth: "It is better to eat without meat than to study." I didn't study for three days, and I felt hateful. Hey, when was the first word of Dongpo Jushi written, but the old man had never seen this collection before. ”
"Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not chant and walk slowly. Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? A cloud of smoke and rain is Ren Ping's life. Wonderful, wonderful! ”
