Chapter 1213: True Colors

Updated: 2014-05-15

Lu Cunxiao said sharply: "What the hell is going on, you explain it clearly to Lao Tzu." He clenched the battle axe in his hand, and there was a cold look in his eyes.

"Boss Lu, those girls in Piaoxiang Peak are all good girls who were snatched back from outside." Zhang Niu broke out in a cold sweat under Lu Cunxiao's questioning: "Those girls were all sent to Piaoxiang Peak and locked up in the cave to reward those who made meritorious contributions. ”

"They're all good women?" Lu Cunxiao said sharply.

Zhang Niu nodded and said: "General Qiu knows that Boss Lu is jealous and hateful, and he will not attack the people, so General Qiu arranged for us to deal with other bandits, or let us rob the things of the official yamen, and not let us rob the people." However, the men and horses of the other peaks, who are responsible for grain and grass, can only rob the common people, and by the way, rob the women of good families and bring them back to the mountain. We all know this, but everyone knows your character, and they don't dare to talk to you. ”

"Then why did you lie to me that the girl from Piaoxiang Peak was a prostitute who voluntarily went up the mountain?"

Zhang Niu smiled bitterly: "Boss, think about it yourself, even if it is a prostitute, which prostitutes are willing to go up the mountain to become prostitutes?" People who have been to Piaoxiang Peak, when they leave, will be admonished, they can only say that the girls on Piaoxiang Peak are prostitutes, and they must prove that the so-called temporary shelter girls live separately from those prostitutes...... In fact, Piaoxiang Peak is all women from good families, and they have never lived separately, they are all locked up in the mountain, the greater the credit, the longer the time in the mountain, the girls there, choose to play with at will...... It's just because you never touch these things, otherwise you can understand everything as long as you go up the mountain once. ”

Lu Cunxiao was stunned, his body shook, and the tomahawk in his hand fell to the ground.

Zhang Niu sighed: "When we went up the mountain, we said that we wanted to resist the tyrannical Qin, and at that time, I always had this thought, and I wanted to do something great with you Boss Lu." It's just that when I went up to Piaoxiang Peak that time and saw the scene there, I knew that General Qiu was not as heroic as we imagined, but I was confused for a while at that time, and when I saw those girls, I couldn't control myself...... After I was done, the people from Piaoxiang Peak warned me, and told me not to talk nonsense after I went down the peak, we knew that if you knew the truth, you would definitely scold us, so ...... I didn't tell you the truth......! ”

Lu Cunxiao suddenly raised his hand, slapped himself, and said dejectedly: "It's me who is stupid, I am in it, but I don't know that there is such a thing in the mountains." ”

Lu Mu stared at Lu Cunxiao and said calmly: "Even if you don't know this, but you have been helping General Qiu, and those girls have fallen to this, you are also unforgivable." ”

Lu Cunxiao turned around and knelt down in front of Lu's mother again, "Mother, the child is not filial, and he is abusive...... Whatever you ask your child to atone for, the child will do as you want, even if it is death! ”

Mother Lu turned her eyes to Chu Huan and said, "Lord Chu, the dog is deeply guilty, how to deal with it, you have to deal with it." ”

"Mother, he is a member of the government, and the child will never let him fall." Lu Cunxiao immediately said: "General Qiu has disappointed the child, but ...... The child would never compromise with the officials of the Qin State. ”

"Compromise?" Chu Huan didn't wait for Lu Mu to speak, and already smiled faintly: "Lu Cunxiao, this governor came to ask you, who is more beneficial to the people than you and me, what you did in Xiguan?" ”

Lu Cunxiao opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.

"This governor knows that you are bent on seeking justice for the people of Xiguan." Chu Huan said earnestly: "Actually, your original intention, the governor doesn't think it's wrong, it's just the path you took, the governor thinks it's a big mistake, do you think that if you go up the mountain and follow General Qiu, and go against the government, you can give justice to the people?" But you have also seen the facts, although there are indeed some corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the court who oppress and exploit the people, but they will not be wiped out, and they will be wiped out, and there will be no object of exploitation, but those bandits who are doing the right thing for heaven are doing what they are doing against the sky, in order to rob the people, they are all killed, and they are ruthless. ”

Lu Cunxiao's cheeks puffed out, but he just looked at Chu Huan and didn't speak.

"How much harm does it really do to the government?" Chu Huan sighed lightly: "A group of rabble, but they are just the target of the government, if the rogues want to survive and save their strength, they must need money, food and equipment, and they need a lot of manpower and material resources, do you think they can really get from the government?" In the end, it is not from the hands of the common people to snatch it, Huluzhai is the strongest bandit in Xiguan Road, but it is not the opponent of the government, and the other tributaries are robbed, how capable are they to snatch things from the hands of the government? General Qiu has to snatch it from the people, not to mention other rogues, you fight against the government, but the real poison is only the people of Xiguan. ”

"I never thought of poisoning the people." Lu Cunxiao finally sighed.

"I know you don't have that mind, but although you didn't kill him, he died because of you." Chu Huan said solemnly: "You took refuge in General Qiu, which fueled his arrogance, which gave Huluzhai the strength to poison more people...... Lu Cunxiao, you have to admit this. The governor came to Xiguan and sighed all night, knowing that the people of Xiguan had suffered too much, so he wanted to let the people live a good life as much as possible, and you just made the people's lives more miserable. ”

Lu Cunxiao was thoughtful, silent for a while, and finally asked, "Is General Qiu really the kind of person you are talking about?" Turning his gaze at Lu Mu, he said, "Mother, do you remember that we almost starved to death at the beginning, but General Qiu sent us food, if he really poisoned the people, why did he help us?" ”

"To put it bluntly, it's actually very simple." Chu Huan asked: "Ling Tang told me that before you went up the mountain, several villages had been robbed by the rogues, and it was you, Lu Cunxiao, who gathered the young men of several nearby villages to form a team to protect several villages. ”

Lu Cunxiao sneered: "When the bandits attack, the government can't control it, we always have to save ourselves." ”

Chu Huan nodded with a smile: "It is said that there were once two groups of bandits who did not know the depths and went to those villages, but they were wiped out by the team led by you, and the two groups of bandits were killed and injured and fled. ”

Lu Cunxiao's eyes showed a look of pride.

"Since your reputation is spread among the bandits, General Qiu must have naturally heard of your reputation for bravery." Chu Huan said slowly: "General Qiu is not an ordinary bandit, he is more scheming than others, Huluzhai wants to grow, in addition to money and equipment, naturally also needs talents, you are dissatisfied with the government, but you are brave and good at fighting, can't General Qiu fight your idea?" The other rogues are afraid of you and dare not invade your village again, why can't General Qiu find a way to win you over? ”

Lu Cunxiao's eyes flickered.

"You're not stupid, think about it yourself, why didn't General Qiu help other people, but instead went to help you?" Chu Huan said slowly: "You Lu Cunxiao is brave outside, and there are hundreds of people under your hands, you can take some food and take you for your own use, this deal is really cost-effective." ”

Lu Cunxiao said: "You mean that General Qiu gave us food for the purpose of making us take refuge in him?" ”

"At least that's how it turned out." Chu Huan smiled and said, "He helped you, and you did go up the mountain to drive for him." He sighed lightly: "Maybe you are just some flags that can be used in his heart, just like this situation, he can break through alone without any hanging, thousands of brothers, if you say drop it, you will drop it, if it is you Lu Cunxiao, what will happen?" ”

Lu Cunxiao bent down, picked up the giant axe that fell to the ground, stared at Chu Huan's eyes and said, "No matter what, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more." Chu Huan, I won't take advantage of people's danger, you can leave now, take your men and horses, and kill them. ”

Chu Huan said helplessly: "As far as I know, there are nearly 2,000 people in Sunset Village, if you really want to continue fighting, this governor will not show mercy, and this governor can also guarantee that when I capture Sunset Village, there will not be a single survivor." ”

Lu Cunxiao laughed and said, "Are you intimidating me? ”

"I'm just telling the truth." Chu Huan said lightly: "This governor will never be merciful to the unrepentant bandits who have caused trouble to the people. Staring at Lu Cunxiao's eyes, he said slowly: "Bendu knows very well that there is no grain storage in Sunset Peak, Bendu's soldiers and horses far surpass yours, you have no hope of breaking out of the siege at all, Bendu does not need to attack, as long as the siege continues, within half a month, you will starve to death...... The Governor found a large amount of grain and grass from the mountains, and there was no need to mobilize the grain and grass, as long as he used these grain and grass, it was enough to support the soldiers and horses for a long time. ”

The corners of Lu Cunxiao's eyes jumped, he knew that Chu Huan was telling the truth.

"Ben Du just wants to ask you now, do you really want to starve these thousands of people to death like this?" Chu Huan's voice was calm, "Bendu already knows that although there are thousands of people gathered in Hulu Village, many people who go up the mountain just want to eat together, and they don't want to fall into the grass for a coward, although there are people who poison the people, but most of them have not done anything evil, in the end, behind you, there are many people who are forced to go up the mountain just to eat together, do you really want these people to die with you in Sunset Village?" After a pause, he added, "For that cruel, ruthless, despicable and shameless general?" ”

Lu Mu finally said: "Xiao'er, you have been wrong once, and you can't be wrong again." ”

Lu Cunxiao walked to Lu's mother's side, was silent for a while, and finally asked, "Chu Huan, what do you want?" ”

Chu Huan stared at Lu Cunxiao and said calmly: "Ben Du said that a person is not afraid of doing something wrong, he is afraid of doing something bad, he can't turn back, but if he does something wrong, he can correct it, you are doing something wrong instead of doing something bad, and this governor gives you a chance to correct it...... Lu Cunxiao, the true face of General Qiu, you already know, it's not that I'm making up lies to slander him, Lingtang has also seen the tragic truth, don't be obsessed anymore, for the people of Xiguan, come down! ”
