Chapter 141: Scourge of Nanning
"What are you doing? Don't run yet! Ride my horse and run! Listen to the voice, they are still four or five miles away from here, you still have a chance to run, run! ”
Yu Xuan's voice is very much like a woman, this will scream sharply, it is no different from a woman's screaming, sharp with nervousness, with despair, like a young girl when she sees her lover's sweetheart in danger, the heart-rending sound and tone she makes. - If you want to change the usual, Fat Lu will definitely lose goosebumps again.
Things came too suddenly, and the fat man Lu, who was becoming more and more sophisticated and mature, was also completely blinded, and subconsciously held Yu Xuan's reins in the past, but the fat leg had just been raised, and the fat man suddenly calmed down again, because the fat man suddenly saw that there were not only people from the Pingxi Palace, but also countless people from the Dingnan Palace, and there were countless people on both sides of the road who were watching the excitement - in this case, if Yu Xuan let himself go, how could he explain to Xiao Mazi? Even if he can ignore the life and death of the father and son of the Lian family, but with so many people reporting the news, can he run out of Guangxi?
"What are you doing? Why don't you go quickly? In a hurry, even the scheming Hu Guozhu was a little in a hurry, and he was urged by a fat man.
"No, uncle, I can't go!" Lu Fatzi shook his head, and said in a low voice to the Nanning soldiers who came to see him off, and then to the lively people on both sides of the road, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, do you see it?" There are so many outsiders here, if I leave, as long as one of them leaks the news, not only will we not be able to escape, but the father and son of the Lian family will also die! Uncle, you and the prince will also be implicated by me! ”
If the incident happened in Yunnan or Guizhou, Xiao Mazi suddenly sent someone to arrest Lu Fatzi, considering that Lu Fatzi had an important surname for Pingxi Wangfu, Wu Sangui and Hu Guozhu, whose strength had doubled one after another, really might not be afraid of Lu Fatzi's involvement, and they might not really hand over Lu Fatzi. But this is Guangxi, it is Nanning, even if you ride the fastest horse without sleeping, it will take at least two or three days to return to Yunnan and return to Wu Sangui's sphere of influence, and at the same time, the chasing troops of the brigade are less than five miles away from their side, and they can't run away, and they can't resist, so Hu Guozhu can't act carelessly.
"What then? You can't just be caught, can you? Hu Guozhu quickly asked, "Do you want to gamble?" Bet that Emperor Mazi will not kill you if he catches you in the capital? ”
Fat Lu was so confused that he didn't know how to answer for a while, and Yu Xuan had already run quickly in front of Fat Lu, pulled Fat Lu's sleeve, and shouted with a crying voice: "What are you still doing?" Not running yet? ”
"General Liusan, what should you do if I run away?" Now, Lu Fatzi's surname Suo has sold an empty favor, and he asked Yu Xuan with righteous words: "The emperor sent Qin to arrest me, and you let me go, so how can you explain to the emperor?" How can I bear it? ”
"I'm not afraid of you! I want you alive! Live well! Yu Xuan finally cried, dragging Lu Fatzi to cry and order: "Come on, hurry!" Quickly put Master Lu on the horse and send him back to Yunnan! Fast! Come on! ”
Lu Fatzi still made a few friends in Nanning, Hutongchun and Quanjie and a few other rectum fierce generals rushed over, set up Lu Fatzi and left, and urged nonsense: "Brother Lu, go quickly, don't worry about us, we will find a way ourselves." "That's right, Brother Lu, you go quickly, if something happens to you here, how can we get by on our conscience?"
"Let me go!" Fat Lu roared wildly, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he shook off Hutongchun and the others, and yelled: "No! Absolutely not! I, Lu Yifeng, sit upright and upright, and now I am framed by Annihilation and imprisoned, and I will carry the head killing Ling Chi alone, but I must not affect you! ”
"I said we're afraid you're getting involved?!" Yu Xuan's crying voice was louder than that of Lu Fatzi, "Who knows what bad things those annihilators said about you in front of the emperor again, if you are caught in the capital and something happens, how can we be worthy of our conscience?" If you have three long and two short, I ......, what should I do?! ”
"Mother! Why is this dead shemale talking so ambiguously? Fat Lu got goosebumps again, and Hutongchun and Quan Jie and others over there didn't say a word, and dragged Fat Lu directly to the horse, insisting on pushing Fat Lu onto the horse.
Lu Fatzi knows very well in his heart that there are too many people here, even if Yu Xuan and Hu Tongchun and others fight for their official positions and don't let them run away, it will be absolutely impossible for them to run out of Guangxi - instead of letting them return the favor now, it is better to let these rectums owe themselves more favors, so that they can have the hope of turning defeat into victory! At the very least, the gang of the Lian family will ensure their safety in Guangxi at all costs, and lay a safe foundation for their next step of improvisation and response to the Xiwang Mansion!
Thinking about this, Fat Lu simply grabbed the handle of the knife on Hutongchun's waist, pulled out the steel knife, raised the knife on his neck and yelled, "Get out of here!" Otherwise, Lao Tzu will die in front of you now! ”
Lu Fatzi's action really scared Yu Xuan, Hu Tongchun and the others a lot, and subconsciously stopped pulling Lu Fatzi's action, and Lu Fatzi took the opportunity to yell: "Listen to Lao Tzu!" Lao Tzu has already decided, didn't she Kong Sizhen slander and frame Lao Tzu and let the court send a messenger to arrest Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu came to Guangxi to send her to the door to kill, if you want to be caught, you are not a hero! But Lao Tzu will never run, even if you run, it will affect you, you are all my good brothers, if you want to die, I will die alone, I can't let you die with me! ”
"Brother Lu......." Yu Xuanqing couldn't help herself, and sobbed: "We are not afraid of you being involved, and I am not afraid of you being ......." ”
"Yes, Brother Lu, we are not afraid of your involvement." Hu Tongchun and the others also choked up and said, "You run quickly, if you don't run, it's too late." "Yes, we are desperate to kill our heads and rob our homes, and we can't be sorry for you."
"Fart!" Fat Lu yelled: "You all have wives and children, both wives and children, why do you want to die with me?" If you still regard me as a brother, don't persuade me, don't let my conscience be troubled! Tie me up now and hand me over to the messenger sent by the imperial court, so that you can clear your suspicions!" My name is Lu Yifeng! It's not called Sun Yanling, it's not called Dai Liangchen, and it's not called Kong Sizhen! ”
Hearing Lu Fatzi's loud words, even Hutongchun and Quan Jie and other rough men were in tears, not to mention Lu Yuxuan, who already looked like a woman, and Lian Guoan, who was so sick that he could barely stand on his feet, was even more tearful, and he didn't expect that this Lu Fatman, who looked like he was full of oil, would have such enthusiasm. Hu Guozhu secretly admired himself, the future niece and son-in-law, the matter was already in such a critical situation, and he could still say so many high-sounding nonsense words so calmly - this is simply forcing the upright father and son of the Lian family to dig out their hearts and livers.
During the stalemate, the banner of the cavalry team in the northeast was already faintly visible, and Lu Fatzi took the opportunity to shout again: "What are you still doing?" Why don't you tie me up with a rope? Do you really want those ministers in the court to make irresponsible remarks about you and fabricate a few more charges for you? Quick, tie me up, and then hand me over to the Chin Cha, and shut up those annihilators! ”
Lu Fatzi's words are really shameless to the extreme-with the surname and temper of Guoan's father and son, how could he really tie up Lu Fatzi and hand him over to the Qin sent by Xiao Mazi? The result was of course, until the Guangxi cavalry guarding Qincha rushed closer, no one from Nanning came up to make a move, and Lu Fatzi was really tied, just standing in place with tears in his eyes, and many people simply cried out like Yu Xuan.
As the chasing team got closer and closer, Lu Fatzi finally saw the face of the person who came clearly, and among the two people who were the leader, one of them was in his thirties, with a long face and triangular eyes, a pothole on his face, and he was wearing the same uniform color as the line Guoan. And when he looked at another person carefully, Fat Lu couldn't help but sink in his heart, and secretly screamed, "Oh no! Why is it that Qin Cha is Li Xu, who has an enmity with me?! This kid hates me to the core, and I'm afraid that my safety on the way to Beijing will be terrible. ”
"Wait!" Thinking about this, the bottom of Fat Lu's heart suddenly moved again, "Is it really just a coincidence?" If Xiao Mazi or Kong Sizhen's gang had my true evidence, shouldn't they send this Li Xu, who has an enmity with me? Aren't they afraid that Li Xu will take revenge on the road and kill me on the road, and there is no way to take out the secrets of the Pingxi Mansion from my mouth? Is it ......? ”
After standing still at a distance of about twenty steps from Fat Lu, Li Xu first looked at Fat Lu with a cold gaze, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly shouted: "Bold Lu Yifeng, Ben Qin was ordered to capture you, and you still dare to resist with a knife, the crime is one more degree!" Come on, give Ben Qin to take down the criminal officer Lu Yifeng! ”
Yu Xuan was anxious, and quickly stood up and retorted, "Lord Qincha, Lord Lu is not resisting arrest with a knife!" ”
"Third general, there's no need to cover up for Lu Yifeng." Dai Liangchen said with a sneer: "You assisted Lord Qincha in handling the case, arrested Lu Yifeng, the criminal officer who resisted arrest with a knife, and made great contributions to the imperial court and the Dingnan Palace. Okay, don't worry about it, take down Lu Yifeng! ”
"Lord Lu did not resist arrest! No! Hutong Chun and Quan Jie and the others all shouted. Yu Xuan was even more angry, and shouted: "The surname is Dai, don't give Lao Tzu this set, Lao Tzu won't accept your affection!" If you want to use us to add another crime to Lord Lu's head, no way! Lord Lu did not resist arrest, no! ”
"Who says no?" Dai Liangchen pointed at Lu Fatzi and said with a cruel smile: "The knife in his hand is not ironclad evidence that he resisted arrest with a knife?" ”
"The knife in his hand ......." Yu Xuan still wanted to explain, but Lu Fatzi shouted, "General Liusan, no need, if you want to add to the crime, why bother?" ”
After that, Fat Lu threw away the steel knife in his hand, pushed away the reluctant Hutong Chun and Quanjie and others in front of him, strode up to Dai Liangchen and Li Xu, and said with a sneer: "Please, you don't need to be polite." Of course, Dai Liangchen, Li Xu and the others would not be polite to Lu Fatzi, and as soon as they snorted slightly, the cavalry and guards behind them rushed up and held down Lu Fatzi with all hands and feet.
"Guard Li, it's been a long time." Fat Lu sneered at Li Xu and said, "This time, your wish has finally been granted, right?" On the way to escort me this time, are you going to poison me to death, or do you want me to fall into the water and die? ”
"Lao Tzu wants to spray water with mulberry paper, stick it on your fat face and suffocate you to death!" Li Xu roared viciously in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "What did Lord Lu say? Although there were some small unpleasantness between you and me in the past, Ben Chin sent you to Beijing on the order of the emperor, and naturally he would do his best to protect your safety and not let you be hurt in the slightest, so how could he poison you or fall into the water and die? ”
Lu Fatzi smiled, and was not in a hurry to speak, but when Yu Xuan and Hu Tongchun and the others heard such words, they were all shocked, Yu Xuan almost didn't think much about it, and immediately turned around and shouted: "Hu Tongchun, go and gather five hundred cavalry immediately, I want the most elite brothers, I will personally escort Lord Lu into Beijing!" ”
"Order, I'll go too!" Hu Tongchun agreed loudly. Over there, Li Xu, Dai Liangchen and others were first surprised, and then they were all happy, Dai Liangchen immediately smiled and said: "General Liansan is really affectionate to Lord Lu, do you think about it, personally escort Lord Lu into Beijing, and you are not afraid of implicating the old general?" ”
"Dai Dutong, don't pull it on the old generals and the third generals." Fat Lu said loudly: "You can do whatever you want to detain the basin on me, but don't pull it on the old general!" I'm just ordinary friends with them, and everything has nothing to do with them! ”
The vicious intentions of Lu Fatzi's words are only clear to himself - as a person of Guoan's father and son, hearing his own such righteous words, it is naturally impossible to ignore himself! At the same time, since Dai Liangchen is Kong Sizhen's number one confidant in Guangxi, then his relationship with the father and son of Lian Guoan must be extremely bad. In this way, the father and son of the Lian family insist on protecting themselves, and Dai Liangchen is very likely to pull the father and son of the Lian family into the water, and the father and son of the Lian family will go into the water, and the water will be muddy? If the water is muddy, won't the self nicknamed the oiled loach have more chances?
God bless and annihilate evil, Lu Fatzi's despicable intentions are vicious enough, but what Lu Fatzi didn't expect to say was that as soon as these words came out, Li Xu and Dai Liangchen actually laughed together, and the sinister appearance seemed to be more vicious and dangerous than Lu Fatzi. Fat Lu flashed in his mind, and hurriedly shouted: "Slow! The surname is Li, you haven't recited the holy decree yet, what crime am I, you read it to me! ”
"What else do you read?" Li Xu showed the holy decree issued by Xiao Mazi, and sneered: "See, this is the holy decree to arrest you, I want to know your crime, and when you enter the prison of the Criminal Department, you will understand everything?" ”
"Bold Li Xu!" Hu Guozhu was not stupid, he immediately stepped forward and shouted: "As a case handler, you were ordered to arrest the criminals, but you should not recite the holy decree to the public, and you despise the king, how many heads do you have enough to cut off?!" ”
"Who are you? How dare you speak to me like that? Li Xu asked angrily.
"General Jin Wuzuo of Pingxi Palace! Hu Guozhu! Hu Guozhu replied proudly: "The surname is Li, you said it yourself, do I dare to speak to you like this?!" ”
"Hu Guozhu?!" Li Xu's surprise was not trivial, the holy decree in his hand almost fell to the ground, and he didn't expect to meet a character here that he would definitely not be able to provoke.
"That's right!" Yu Xuan also saw that the situation was wrong, and jumped out and shouted: "According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, if you arrest Lord Lu, you must recite the holy decree in public, and hand over the holy decree to Lord Lu to check the authenticity, otherwise, Lord Lu does not have to accept the decree!" We won't hand over Lord Lu to you either! ”
"Yes, if you don't recite the holy decree, you won't hand it over to Lord Lu!" The surrounding Nanning soldiers were clamoring. Li Xu had no choice but to turn over and dismount, shouting: "What is the noise? Just read it, let you die and understand! Give me a quiet moment - when the holy decree arrives, the criminal officer Lu Yifeng kneels to take it. ”
"Lu Yifeng is here." Holding a glimmer of hope, Lu Fatzi knelt down on his knees, and Yu Xuan next to him also knelt down with Lian Guoan, Hu Guozhu and others. Li Xu unfolded the holy decree and said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: After investigation, during the period when Lu Yifeng of Daxingzhi County abandoned his official position, he instigated the Nanning capital to unify the national security and his subordinates to betray the lord and betray the imperial court, and arranged for the national security and Pingxi King Wu Sangui to join forces to embezzle Nanning Yinshan, with ill intentions and unforgivable crimes. Li Xu, the third-class guard in front of the emperor, was immediately arrested and escorted to the capital for interrogation. Chin this. ”
"The criminal minister Lu Yifeng took the order." Lu Fatzi agreed loudly, and shouted happily: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
"Fart!" Lu Fatzi happily accepted the order here, Hu Guozhu laughed over there, and Nanning soldiers such as Yu Xuan and Li Ruchun exploded, and countless people jumped up and scolded, "Let go of your mother's stinky fart!" When did Lord Lu incite us to betray the imperial court? We are suffering here, starving to guard against Annan, and stabbing us in the back, it's that bastard's stinky fart! ”
"Lord Qincha, Dai Dutong, when did Lord Lu incite our Nanning garrison to betray the imperial court?" Yu Xuan's emotions were the most excited, and his voice was the most sharp, and he screamed with red eyes: "Our Nanning army is loyal to the imperial court, when did we betray the lord and leave the imperial court?" Who said that? Old...... Lao Tzu is going to fight with him! ”
"General Liusan, calm down, calm down." Li Xu said with a sweat on his head: "That's what the holy decree says, I can't help it, and the holy decree doesn't say that you betrayed the court?" It's just that the criminal officer Lu Yifeng encouraged you to do this, and if you hand over Lu Yifeng now, won't there be nothing left? ”
"Lord Lu didn't!" Yu Xuan screamed, "Lord Lu came to Nanning, and he only did countless good things for our Nanning soldiers, and he didn't say a word to persuade us to betray the court!" ”
"Yes, Brother Lu drinks with me every day, and he has never said a word to persuade me to betray the court!" Hu Tongchun clenched his fists and roared, "It's that dog mongrel who slanders Brother Lu like this, Lao Tzu is going to fight with him!" ”
"Fight! Fight! At the same time, the soldiers defending the city in Nanning City also roared angrily, and Dai Liangchen and Li Xu and the 800 cavalry they brought were frightened to the pale, and their bodies were like chaff - although the army directly under the line Guoan was the poorly equipped in the Guangxi army, and the food and salary were also the most insufficient, but it was the most desperate in the war.
"Calm down! Calm me down! What everyone didn't expect was that the party Lu Fatzi suddenly jumped out, waved his hands desperately and shouted: "Calm down, calm down for me, listen to me, listen to me!" ”
Thanks to the blessing of the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine, Lu Fatzi has some prestige in the Nanning army, under his desperate shouting, the Nanning soldiers finally gradually calmed down, and Lu Fatzi took the opportunity to shout: "Brothers, your kindness to Lu Yifeng, I Lu Yifeng understand, and I kneel down to thank you!" However, you have found the wrong object, this Li guard, he is just a messenger, not to frame me, nor to slander you, what's the use of you being angry at him? ”
As he spoke, Fat Lu turned to Li Xu again and asked loudly: "Guard Li, if I guess correctly, when Sigege impeached me like this to the emperor, you were probably not even present, right?" ”
"Yes, I wasn't there." Li Xu, who had already been frightened, didn't even think about it, and immediately nodded in acknowledgement.
"Did Sigege tell you about it later?" Lu Fatzi asked again: "Did Sigege tell you that the old generals have betrayed the imperial court?" Are you ready to give the Phoenix Mountain Silver Mine to the prince of Pingxi? - It doesn't matter, you are only the executor, not the party, you tell the old general and the Nanning soldiers truthfully, they will not treat you badly, and they will understand your difficulties. ”
"That's right." Li Xu hurriedly said loudly: "Old generals, generals, I am really just a messenger, saying that the person who betrayed the imperial court and surrendered to the Pingxi Royal Mansion under the instigation of Lord Lu is Sigege and Xiong University, not me, I am just acting on orders, you must not misunderstand." ”
"Four grids? Four grids?! The Nanning soldiers present were all dumbfounded, and they didn't expect that Gegekong Sizhen, the Dingnan Wangfu they were loyal to, would slander themselves like this. And Lian Guoan, who was already so sick that he couldn't breathe, turned his old face pale, gradually turning from white to gray, and finally suddenly opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell on his own soldiers............
"Daddy——!"
"Handsome ————!"
In the heart-rending screams of Yu Xuan and the Nanning soldiers, Lu Fatzi and Hu Guozhu smiled fiercely at the corners of their mouths, because Lu Fatzi and Hu Guozhu both understood that buying chickens with cages was not only the silver mine of Phoenix Mountain, but also the most capable and elite Qiang Guoan Army in Guangxi, which had fallen into the hands of Pingxi Wangfu like a ripe fruit.
