"Fat dog! Lao Tzu cut you! ”

Hearing the ridicule in Lu Fatzi's words, and seeing the shameless smile on Lu Fatzi's fat face and the scene of the soldiers of the Guangxi army defecting to the Wu army one after another, Sun Yanling, who had been pitted by Lu Fatzi more than once, finally couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up with a roar, and was about to cut Lu Fatzi's fat face full of obscene smiles.

It's too late, it's fast, almost at the same time as Sun Yanling jumped up, the two inconspicuous soldiers behind the fat man Lu, a cross-eyed and a black fat man, all moved their bodies, and before Sun Yanling could see what was going on, the cross-eyed waist knife was already on Sun Yanling's neck, and the little black fat man grabbed Sun Yanling's right hand with the knife, Sun Yanling struggled to move as hard as he could, and the wrist bone was still pinched by the black fat man, and Sun Yanling almost burst into tears. Regardless of his face, he screamed like a pig, "Mother! My bones are about to break, you tap! ”

The incident happened suddenly, Shang Zhixiao, Geng Juzhong and Ma Xiongzhen next to him were also startled, and subconsciously jumped up together to touch the waist knife, and the entourage they brought and the Wu soldiers brought by Lu Fatzi and Wu Shizong were all scrambling to draw their swords and raise their guns, and the friendly atmosphere just now suddenly disappeared and became tense.

"Hehe, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, put down the knife." In the face of such a tense and sensitive atmosphere, Fat Lu still looked like a smiling Maitreya, beckoned everyone to calm down with a smile, and commanded: "Shiyu, Xiguan, you all let go of Sun Junmen, Sun Junmen is a little impulsive when he is angry, this is human nature and can be forgiven, you don't be too rude to him." ”

Hearing Lu Fatzi's order, Hong Xiguan and Fang Shiyu finally let go of Sun Yanling, but Sun Yanling's waist knife was still snatched away by Hong Xiguan's empty-handed white blade, and the action was so fast and accurate that Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong and others next to him were startled, and then they understood why Lu Fatzi dared to be so big, why he dared to negotiate in the middle of the battlefield - with this cross-eyed and this little black fat man's skills, more than a dozen or twenty people are not their opponents at all.

"Brother-in-law, I can't see that there are really a lot of talents around you, the skills of these two pro-soldiers, put them in the army, it should be absolutely no problem to be two assistant leaders, right?" Shang Zhixiao couldn't help but say enviously.

"Second uncle, it's not like we have to thank our eldest brother." Fat Lu smiled affectionately: "Hasn't the second uncle found out yet?" In fact, they are all Cantonese, and they were all sent by my uncle to protect me. ”

"You're all Cantonese?" Shang Zhixiao was taken aback.

Hong Xiguan nodded and replied: "Back to the second prince, the villain is from Huaxian County, Guangzhou Prefecture. Fang Shiyu also replied: "I am from Zhaoqing Mansion." The words are correct and round, all with authentic Cantonese accents, which made Shang Zhixiao stunned, and also made Sun Yanling look at Shang Zhixiao angrily, and said in his heart, Okay, after a long time, you Pingnan Wangfu and the big thief Lu Yifeng still have this friendship, no wonder they are so unreliable on the battlefield. Ma Xiongzhen also glanced at Shang Zhixiao suspiciously, and his heart became suspicious.

"Alright, alright, all sit down, all sit down again." Fat Lu beckoned to take the lead and sat down again, and smiled at Sun Yanling: "Sun Junmen, don't be angry, we didn't deliberately dig into your corner to dig your army, because we all know that there are many old men under your command, Dai Liangchen and Wang Yongnian, who are not only unreliable on the battlefield, but also a powder keg that explodes from time to time in the military camp in peacetime." The old general is highly respected, and he will recruit them for you to reintegrate in the past, and they will be returned to you in the future. ”

"Give it back to me? Are you so kind? Sun Yanling asked with a blushing face while rubbing his wrist, which had been pinched purple by Fang Shiyu.

Lu Fatzi also knew that he was unreliable in Sun Yanling's mind, and he didn't speak, but just glanced at Wu Shizong, Wu Shizong understood, and said seriously: "Sun Junmen rest assured, our Pingxi Mansion is eager to seek talents, and attaches importance to integrity, as long as you promise to submit to our Pingxi Palace, and help our prince to exterminate the Aobai Yu Party in Guangxi, the Guilin army we have recruited in the past will naturally be returned to you." ”

"And that's not all." Lu Fatzi added: "We will also help you reorganize the army, clean up the remnants of Dai Liangchen and Wang Yongnian in the army, so that you can really command this army, instead of letting you be the same as before, as the commander of the whole army, you have to look at the faces of your subordinates." ”

Sun Yanling hesitated again, Lu Fatzi smiled, deliberately left a little time for him to think, and then turned to Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong and asked, "Second uncle, second prince, what do you two say?" Are you interested in helping our Pingxi Wangfu to exterminate the Aobai remnants in Guangxi? ”

Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong glanced at each other, and after exchanging a few glances, Shang Zhixiao stepped forward and said: "Brother-in-law, don't force your second uncle and Geng Second Prince, we are all a family, so let's talk straight." Yes, we took advantage of the fire to rob and attack Nanning, but we still said that we were following orders, and we had to send them. Besides, your Pingxi Mansion is robbing our Pingnan Palace's Lianzhou, so it's only natural for us to retaliate, right? ”

"yes, we're all forced." Geng Juzhong echoed: "Brother Lu, I am Wanyan's brother-in-law, we are still brothers-in-law, do you think this is okay?" Our Guangdong army and Fujian army have withdrawn from Guangxi on all fronts, and we can return to you what we have grabbed in Guangxi these days, and you can get out of the way and let us leave, and we will stop fighting with our own family. ”

"Second uncle, brother-in-law, General Wu and I both understand your difficulties." Fat Lu smiled and said: "It's not a secret, when I discussed with General Wu, we also unanimously decided that as long as the second uncle and brother-in-law hand over the things you grabbed in Nanning, and take the initiative to withdraw from Guangxi to strike the army and make peace, we can forget it like this." Let him pass the past, the three feudatories are in the same spirit, sharing honor and disgrace, if you can not hurt the harmony, it is better not to hurt the harmony. ”

"Really? You think so too? Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong were both overjoyed and asked in surprise.

"Of course." Lu Fatzi replied with a smile: "If we have malicious intentions, we will not only recruit the Guangxi army, the troops of Guangdong and Fujian are all second uncle and brother-in-law, how can we be embarrassed to dig into your corner?" ”

"So, you're agreeing to let us go?" Shang Zhixiao asked in surprise.

"Of course." Lu Fatzi smiled even more kindly, and said: "Second uncle, brother-in-law, junior brother, I invite you to join forces with our Pingxi Wangfu to exterminate the Aobai Yu Party in Guangxi, just an invitation, by no means forcing you to do so, of course you can refuse." If you are determined to refuse, then you can leave now, put down the things you have looted in Nanning, take ten days of food and grass, and leave Nanning immediately. We can also guarantee that as long as you do not harm the people of Guangxi on the way out of Guangxi, we will not hunt you down. ”

"Alright, let's go now." Shang Zhixiao was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, second uncle, I can use my personality to vouch for it, on the way out of Guangxi, we will definitely do our best to restrain the army, never disturb the people, and never make you embarrassed." ”

"Yes, yes, let's go now." Geng Juzhong was also overjoyed, and repeatedly promised not to disturb the people on the way to retreat. Wu Shizong was a little anxious, and when he wanted to speak, Fat Lu touched him under the table with his knee, asked him to wait patiently, and said with a smile: "Second uncle, brother-in-law, then it's decided, you can go." ”

"Brother-in-law Xie. Xie Lian. Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong never dreamed that Lu Fatzi would agree to let them go so quickly, so they hurriedly thanked them and got up to leave. But at this moment, Fat Lu suddenly said slowly: "Second uncle, brother-in-law, please wait." ”

"What's wrong again?" Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong's hearts suddenly rose to their throats again - now that the Guangxi army has collapsed on its own, if the Wu army insists on taking revenge on their previous robbery and falling into the well, their own army will be wiped out at least half of it, if not all of them will be annihilated.

"Don't get me wrong, little brother, I don't mean to go back and force you to stay." Fat Lu shook his head, held his chin with a pair of fat hands on the table, and said with a smile: "Second uncle, brother-in-law, junior brother just wants to remind you that after you return to Guangdong and Fujian, it is best to send your family members to Yunnan as soon as possible. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Shang Zhixiao asked in surprise.

"Second uncle, I know a little bit about the relationship between you and your eldest brother, brother, so I remind you like this." Lu Fatzi smiled and said: "Second uncle, you were ordered by your father-in-law Pingnan to recover Lianzhou, and now not only Lianzhou has not been taken down, but also offended Pingxi Prince to his hometown, Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror, and he is not a person inside and out." Back in Guangdong, can my eldest brother not fall into the well and take advantage of the fire to rob? ”

Thinking of his bad relationship with Shang Zhixin, Shang Zhixiao's face inevitably changed greatly, and he trembled and said: "I am acting on orders, even if I lose the battle to recover Lianzhou, at most I can only be regarded as incompetent in governing the army, what can he do to me?" ”

"Really?" Lu Fatzi said slowly: "Second uncle, you seem to have forgotten one thing, the prince of Pingxi has now gone to the court to ask for peace, if this negotiation is completed, the prince of Pingxi will settle accounts after the autumn to investigate the second uncle for your crime of taking advantage of the fire to rob, plus the eldest brother fell into the well, second uncle, can you still have a good time?" If the negotiation fails, the emperor will investigate the second uncle's sin of defeating Guangxi, plus the eldest brother's downfall, the second uncle's son, I'm afraid it's even more sad, right? ”

Shang Zhixiao's face became gloomy, and then he remembered how his 'kind and gentle' eldest brother would treat him after his defeat in Guangxi, and how his father, who was notoriously short-tempered, would treat him. Lu Fatzi observed his words, and added with a smile: "Second uncle, if I remember correctly, junior brother, because of Kangxi's seven-year salary fiasco, second uncle, you seem to have been deprived of all your power, right?" How does that taste, does it feel good? This time, second brother, you can go out of the mountain again to command the army, I am afraid the biggest reason is also because the eldest brother Pingnan Wang Shizi has a good relationship with our Pingxi Palace, and his father-in-law has no one available, so he has to use you again, right? ”

"Now, our Pingxi Wangfu has broken the Aobai and annihilated the main force, and the victory is already in hand. If the emperor also makes peace with our Pingxi Palace, the prince of Pingxi and the eldest brother will not spare you! If the emperor refuses to negotiate, you will be defeated in Guangxi, and the emperor, father-in-law and uncle will not spare you! Second uncle, tell me yourself, why don't you hurry up and arrange the future way out for your family, can you? ”

Shang Zhixiao was moved by Lu Fatzi's words, and sat down slowly, while Lu Fatzi looked up at Geng Juzhong again, and said calmly: "Brother-in-law, you are the same, back then, in order to compete with the current King of Jingnan for the throne of the world, those small actions you made openly and secretly, do you think that the prince of Jingnan really doesn't know?" The prince of Jingnan gave you 5,000 second-rate troops to let you enter Guangxi to attack our Pingxi Palace, do you think he really wants you to make meritorious contributions? Brother-in-law, you read poetry and books, learn to be rich and rich, and borrow the idiom of killing people with a knife, haven't you learned it? ”

This time, Geng Juzhong's face was solemn, and after thinking about it for a long time, Geng Juzhong also sat down slowly with a pale face, and sat back opposite Lu Fatzi and Wu Shizong. Lu Fatzi smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, it seems that you finally found out, you go back now, I'm afraid that the end will be worse than the second uncle, the second uncle still has a father for the sake of father and son, but he can protect him from death, but what about you?" Who do you expect to protect you? Expect the sons of Prince Geng to take care of their family affection, and strive for their father to spare the life of your second uncle, leaving them with a big trouble in the future? ”

"So what should we do?" Geng Juzhong asked hoarsely.

"It's simple." The answer given by Fat Lu made everyone dumbfounded, "Second uncle and brother-in-law, you go back immediately, bring the army and fight us to the death, even if you die on the battlefield, you can get a posthumous title in the future, maybe you can get a little compensation for your family." ”

"Huh." Rao is Sun Yanling and Ma Xiongzhen were both preoccupied at the moment, and they were also amused by Lu Fatzi's words. And Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong will say that they can't laugh at anything, and when they think of returning to Guangdong and Fujian like this, the two ambitious and talented and timid as mice, and selfish to the extreme, have a chilling feeling.

"Yifeng, when is this? You're not kidding. Wu Shizong was not stupid, seeing that Lu Fatzi's rhetoric and intimidation threats had worked, he also took the initiative to stand up and said seriously: "The two second princes, although Yifeng likes to joke, what he said is indeed the truth, and after the two of you go back, there will definitely be no good end." Rather than this, why do you go back to ask for hardship, why don't you stay here to help our Pingxi Wangfu take Guangxi, what is the attitude of our Pingxi Wangfu towards its allies, I think you also know very well that the two generals of Nanning, Lian Guoan and Lian Yuxuan, are your examples, why don't you follow them? ”

"Second uncle." Fat Lu suddenly grabbed Shang Zhixiao's hand, and with the other hand, he grabbed Geng Juzhong's hand and called out his brother-in-law, and said very sincerely: "Second uncle, brother-in-law, with your talents, you are not under anyone, but you two dragons have never had water in your life, Guangdong and Fujian are too small to accommodate you, and there is no place for you to show your strength!" And our Pingxi Mansion is big enough to accommodate your two golden dragons, so that you can show your strengths, turn over the clouds and rain, join us, you have no chance in Guangdong and Fujian, only in Pingxi Palace, you have a chance! ”

"That's right, two second princes, join us in the Pingxi Palace." Wu Shizong also held down the hand of Geng Juzhong and monk Zhixiao respectively, and said more sincerely: "Two second princes, can you bear to let your own talent be buried like this?" In Guangdong and Fujian, you don't have a chance to show it, but in our Pingxi Palace, the situation is very different. Our Pingxi Wangfu has now annihilated the main force of Aobai, the world is shaking, even if the emperor doesn't want to hand over Guangxi, Sichuan and Huguang, we Pingxi Wangfu is not short of troops and weapons now, what is missing is the pillars of the country like you! ”

"Yes, my eldest brother sent me to Guangxi with 5,000 second-line troops, not so much to let me make meritorious contributions, but to borrow a knife to kill people, and to borrow Pingxi Wangfu to get rid of me, a thorn in the flesh." Geng Juzhong pondered in his heart, "I haven't built an inch in Guangxi now, just go back like this, my eldest brother will definitely take advantage of this to make a big fuss and beat me into the cold palace and never come out." In case the prince of Pingxi really asks the eldest brother for someone, the eldest brother will hand me over in order to please the prince of Pingxi, and he won't even blink an eyelid! Instead of this, it is better to surrender the Pingxi Palace, not only to keep the glory and wealth, but also to have more and better opportunities to get ahead in the future! ”

"Shang Zhixin's heart is notoriously vicious, even if I return to Guangdong, even if I will not be killed immediately, with his vicious surname, I will die in his hands sooner or later." Shang Zhixiao also calculated in his heart, "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if his conscience finds out that he took the wrong medicine and didn't poison me, I am destined to be trampled under his feet in this life, and in the future, I will not only have to look at his face, but also look at his son's face." Instead of going back to suffer those nests, it is better to return to the Xiwang Mansion like this, and maybe there will be a chance to trample Shang Zhixin's dog cub under his feet in the future! ”

Thinking of this, Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong exchanged glances with each other, and after nodding to each other, they suddenly got up together, knelt down on one knee to Lu Fatzi and Wu Shizong on the spot, and said in unison: "General Wu, Lord Lu, we are willing to join the army of the Western King to atone for their crimes, and work with the Pingxi Mansion to fight for thieves, exterminate the Aobai Yu Party in Guangxi, and hope to accept it." ”

"Okay, okay." Lu Fatzi and Wu Shizong laughed so hard that their mouths couldn't close together, and they hurriedly got up together to hug Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong, and comforted them gently. Over there, Sun Yanling was dumbfounded and shouted, "Won't it?" You two said yes so quickly? ”

"Of course." Shang Zhixiao nodded, and asked Sun Yanling viciously, "Sun Junmen, what about you?" Are you willing to join us in crusading against the Aobai remnants in Guangxi, or do you want to continue to work hard for the Aobai thieves and be defeated by us? ”

"Sun Junmen, please speak." Geng Juzhong pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife and asked viciously, "Are you willing to continue to be our friend?" Or when we are enemies? ”

Looking at the murderous Geng Juzhong monk's filial piety, Sun Yanling swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then looked at the scattered Guangxi army behind him under the Wu army, Sun Yanling was very smart and immediately knelt down on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "General Wu, Lord Lu, Sun Yanling is also willing to join the Xiwang Righteous Army, and together they will fight against thieves in the sky, exterminate the Aobai Yu Party in Guangxi, and hope to accept it." ”

Lu Fatzi and Wu Shizong looked at each other and laughed, and hurriedly picked up Sun Yanling together, and Sun Yanling hurriedly patted the sycophants and showed their chameleon specialties, but Lu Fatzi didn't have the heart to listen to those third-rate sycophants, just turned his gaze to Ma Xiongzhen, the last person present, the governor of Guangxi, and asked with a smile: "Ma Zhongcheng, what about you?" Would you rather be our friend, or would you like to be our enemy? ”

Under the eyes of everyone, Ma Xiongzhen's face changed a few times, and after hesitating for a moment, Ma Xiongzhen finally calmed down, raised his head and said, "Dream!" I, Ma Xiongzhen, was born in the Qing Dynasty, and died as a ghost in the Qing Dynasty, and I want me to make trouble with you traitors and dream! ”

"I knew you would answer that." Fat Lu sneered, and didn't bother to pay attention to this hardcore man, he took Sun Yanling's waist knife directly from Hong Xiguan's hand, threw it into Sun Yanling's hand, and said with a smile: "Sun Junmen, second uncle, brother-in-law, it's a chance to vote for a name, please." ”

Lu Fatzi's intentions are very vicious, and letting Sun Yanling, Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong cut off the governor of Guangxi, Ma Xiongzhen, is equivalent to cutting off their back roads, so that they will have no two hearts from now on - at least in a short period of time. And although Sun Yanling, Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong all understood Lu Fatzi's vicious intentions, but when things came to this point, they could only tremble and raise their knives together, surround Maxiong Town in a triangle, in order to leave a way back for themselves in the future, Sun Yanling asked tremblingly: "Ma Zhongcheng, this is your last chance, are you willing to be our enemy or our friend?" ”

"Anti-thief, you are dreaming!" In history, Ma Xiongzhen, who died in the hands of Sun Yanling, made a heart and roared angrily: "You thieves, you will not die a good death!" Surely there will be no good death in the future! The emperor will not spare you, and the Eight Banners Iron Rider will not spare you! ”

"Sun Junmen, second brother-in-law, brother-in-law, what are you still doing?" Fat Lu coldly urged.

"Sun Junmen, the two second princes, let's do it." Wu Shizong also insidiously urged: "When the time comes, I will report the credit of your joint efforts to kill the Aobai lackey Ma Xiongzhen to the prince, and what the consequences are, we in the Pingxi Royal Mansion will share it with you." ”

"Sun Junmen, do you still want to go down like this?" Lu Fatzi said again: "Two second princes, if you don't even have this courage, then I don't think you should fight with your two eldest brothers, and be prepared to be trampled under their feet in this life." Since ancient times, glory and wealth, fame and title, who has not been exchanged for blood on the battlefield? If your father hadn't raised his sword against Zhu Wannian and Sun Yuanhua back then, would he have the current prince Juelu? Sun Junmen, if your father-in-law hadn't raised a knife against Zhu Wannian back then, would he have been able to be crowned the prince of Guangxi? ”

"I'll count to three, let's do it together." Sun Yanling crossed his heart and yelled: "One, two, three, kill!" ”

In the roar, Sun Yanling, Shang Zhixiao and Geng Juzhong raised their knives together, and when blood splattered, Ma Xiongzhen screamed and fell to the battlefield, killing him on the spot. Lu Fatzi and Wu Shizong bowed together, and said very affectionately: "The three generals joined forces to kill Ao Bai Yu Dang Ma Xiongzhen, and their merits are high. ”

Under the joint demagogy of Lu Fatzi and Wu Shizong, the three Erwuzai joined forces to cut down the governor Ma Xiongzhen, which naturally had no way back, and while throwing their swords and kneeling to surrender, they quickly ordered the coalition forces of the three provinces to lay down their arms, surrender to the Wu army together, and accept the integrated command of the Wu army. Wu Shizong and Lu Fatzi hurriedly helped up the three Erwuzi and comforted them, and ordered the three armies to be rewarded, including the three provinces coalition forces that had just surrendered, and they could get the reward, which immediately made the three provinces coalition forces thunderous with joy and greatly reduced their hostility to the Wu army.

In the thunderous cheers, a group of Nanning cavalry rushed to the front of Lu Fatzi, and the first person turned over and dismounted, strode in front of Lu Fatzi, stared at Lu Fatzi with beautiful eyes, and was silent for a long time. Fat Lu was a little shy, smiled with a red face, and asked, "General Liusan, how are you doing lately?" ”

Yu Xuan didn't answer, but continued to stare at Lu Fatzi, and there were tears flashing in his big eyes.

"Hey, what are they doing here?" Geng Juzhong asked Shang Zhixiao in a low voice: "Brother Zhixiao, your brother-in-law and my brother-in-law, do you even want a man?" ”

"I don't know, haven't you heard of it?" Shang Zhixiao replied confused.

"And why are they like this?" Geng Juzhong asked in surprise.

"Yifeng, General Liusan, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak? Over there, Wu Shizong also asked in surprise.

Next, the actions of Yu Xuan and Lu Fatzi made Wu Shizong, Shang Zhixiao, Geng Juzhong and others almost fall to the ground - Yu Xuan actually opened his hands, threw himself into Lu Fatzi's arms, hugged Lu Fatzi's chest fat and cried loudly. Fat Lu also hugged Yu Xuan tightly, gently patting Yu Xuan's thin back, and tears flickered gently in his little eyes. In the end, Fat Lu even picked up Yu Xuan's face, which was more beautiful than a woman, and kissed it fiercely.

"Great!" A new cheer came, and Sun Yanling jumped and shouted: "Brother Yifeng, I finally believe it now, you and ...... Between is innocent, innocent! Nothing at all! Nothing like that! ”

(To be continued)
