Chapter Eighty-Eight: Trapping and Killing Dongfang Ao
"I don't know what the Holy One is talking about?" Lu Bing hugged his fist, and Zhu Houxi shook his head: "The boiled duck has a hard mouth, Lu Bing, you have been making progress over the years, and I have not been wasted." You know, I'm going to do something to you, are you scolding me in your heart, ignoring the overall situation, taking revenge or not being righteous or something, hehe. ”
Lu Bing was silent again, neither sure nor denied, just raised his head and looked at Zhu Houxi coldly.
Zhu Houxi stood up, moved his limbs and said: "The so-called righteousness can only be used for ordinary people, if the emperor is too righteous, it is not a good thing, I am afraid that the small life is pinched in the hands of others, and the small life here will be finished as soon as other people's minds move, but I am not the world can be replaced by righteousness." Therefore, it's not that I don't pay attention to righteousness, but that I am an emperor and cannot speak the word righteousness. Now that I haven't hurt the killer, I'm already thinking about the old feelings, and I can't do it, so I thought of such a compromise strategy, whether I want to blackmail you or negotiate with you. Anyway, I just don't want to see fratricide. ”
Lu Bing still didn't speak, and Zhu Houxi continued to sing a one-man show: "The overall situation in your mouth is actually related to righteousness, isn't it the secret thirteen who harmed the Ming Dynasty, you want to kill him and then quickly, isn't there a little selfishness?" What is for the country and the people is false, you want to protect me, and you also want to avenge the death of those who died in their hands, this is true. This is all righteousness, don't pretend to be high with me, the world is not yours, are you for the country and the people? ”
"So," Zhu Houxi suddenly said in a long voice: "I want to sue you, the overall situation is no longer there." Or that there will be no more zài soon, and the secret thirteen that you have been chasing for so long, I will take care of it for you. You've got nothing left to do. It's better to stay by my side with peace of mind, and be a marquis, a happy family, and enjoy the joy of family life. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Bing finally spoke, but his voice was cold at this time.
"Lu Bing, it's still the same sentence, do you think I haven't grown at all, what are you looking at." Zhu Houxi suddenly waved his long sleeves, and a wooden box placed under the dragon case suddenly flew out. It's as if it's really being urged. Even if Lu Bing's eyes were fast, he only saw a black shadow, and he didn't look carefully just now and didn't find out how Zhu Houxi did it. But when the martial arts practice reached this realm, the five senses were developed, and Lu Bing heard the sound of the spring flicking, which should be some subtle mechanism in Zhu Houxi's dragon robe. There are many talents in Daming, there are countless skilled craftsmen in the people, and there are many capable people in the palace. It's amazing to invent something like this, but it's not incredible.
Zhu Houxi was very satisfied with this effect. Pointing to the box, he said, "Lu Bing, you open it and take a look." ”
Lu Bing couldn't help but hesitate a little, for fear that what kind of hidden weapon poison flew out, and the open gun was easy to block and the dark arrow was difficult to prevent, but he heard Zhu Houxi laugh and said, "What? The famous Lu Bing also knows that he is afraid? Don't worry, although I am a little despicable, I will not do this, if I am really so nasty, it will not be the two of us talking from here. ”
Lu Bing nodded. It is true that although there are many ambushes outside the main hall, there are only two people in the main hall, Lu Bing and Zhu Houxi. This distance is not good for Lu Bing, even if it is not good for Zhu Houxi. It is also difficult for others to rescue, Zhu Houxi knows that Lu Bing is powerful, and he dares to do this, it is indeed out of his understanding and trust in Lu Bing.
The heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, Lu Bing still didn't dare to be careless, opened his body sideways to hold his breath to prevent inhaling the poisonous gas that might be spewed out, and waved his true qi and made a movement on his arm that was somewhat similar to Zhu Houxi just now. The wooden box opened in response, and the true qi opened the lid of the wooden box and at the same time rolled up gusts of wind. Zhu Houxi clapped his hands again and again like a naughty boy with a smile on his face: "It's still Lu Bing, you are amazing, this is real kung fu." ”
"Hmph, thanks for the compliment." Lu Bing looked down at the wooden box and was surprised: "Huh? ”
The wooden box contained a human head and a hand, and the person was full of white hair, which was the generation of medicine king Dongfang Ao. Lu Bing looked at it carefully in disbelief, who is this Dongfang Ao! Lu Bing looked at Zhu Houxi and said, "Is it Dongfang Ao?" How did you catch him? Aren't you afraid that Bai Yu, a madman, will be annoyed and angry? ”
"Haha, whose do you think this hand belongs to? It's Bai Yu's, I did what you didn't do, do you say I'm better than you? Zhu Houxi smiled.
Lu Bing took a deep breath and asked, "How did you do it?" ”
"It's just these days, Dongfang Ao personally entered the palace to administer medicine, and I ate the antidote you refined, so that Dongfang Ao took my pulse, naturally Dongfang Ao was shocked. I said that you have refined an antidote to everything, and any poison can be removed, and unless you kill me directly, you will not be able to threaten me. Do you think this is considered a tiger's den to get a tiger, put it to death and then be born? Zhu Houxi said.
Lu Bing nodded and said, "Indeed, admire, and then what?" ”
"I said that I wanted to get rid of Lu Bing, but this time you, Duan Qingfeng, and Ji Lianhong all came to the capital, but I am afraid that even if the army rounds up, it will be difficult to deal with, and a peerless master is needed to help me capture you. I also said that I don't want to kill you, I just want to abolish your martial arts and put you under house arrest completely. I also told them that I was going to seal Lu Yin in front of Lu Bing and others, just like I said before, that is, to use Lu Yin to threaten you or lure you into the palace. I also showed them my arrangement, and the masters under the Mi 13 were not vegetarians, and once I found out, I was indeed secretly arranging chess, and the armies of all parties also accepted the order to mobilize and rush to the direction of Shandong to deploy defenses. In order to confuse the Secret Thirteen, I can be said to have mobilized the power of the whole country. Zhu Houxi smiled contentedly: "Of course, they took the bait, and on the second day of the Wanshou Festival, Bai Yu secretly entered the palace to see me and negotiated with me in the underground palace." ”
"The dungeon?" Lu Bing hesitated slightly, he didn't know what else there was in the Forbidden City. But after thinking about it, the Zhu family, as an imperial family, how could it be that this new star could be snooped on, after several generations, there are naturally many unknown secrets, and even he doesn't know a few secret passages, so he was relieved, and then said with a smile: "Is it true that the saint is just acting for Bai Yu?" ”
"Or what do you think?" Zhu Houxi asked.
Lu Bingdao: "Two birds with one stone are unknown. ”
"Smart and smart, I won't go around the bush with you. I haven't figured out exactly what to do with you now, but I can take the opportunity to get rid of you altogether. Zhu Houxi said.
Lu Bing shook his head: "Then why don't you tell me clearly, once you explain that I can participate in it, I can act more seriously." As a result, it will confuse me, and finally make it true for me to fight with Bai Yu to lose both, and kill me at the last moment, wouldn't it be more sure to win? ”
"You still don't understand my thoughts, I haven't thought about whether to do anything to you, otherwise do you really think that your Lu family can run out of the capital?" Zhu Houxi said.
Lu Bing hugged his fists slightly mockingly and said, "That minister still wants to thank Sheng Shang for raising his noble hand to open the net?" ”
"You don't have to thank me, it's not the point. The main thing is that I don't want you to get involved. I want you to know that I can do what you can't do without you. At the same time, it will play you in the palm of your hand! Zhu Houxi looked at Lu Bing, suddenly raised his hand, pointed his finger at Lu Bing and said, "I am stronger than you, stronger than you!" ”
Lu Bing sighed and shook his head: "Is it so important who is stronger than whom." Good. This time you won. Then please ask the emperor to continue. ”
"Okay, just admit it." Zhu Houxi said: "I used you as bait to meet the two secretly in the underground palace, and we reached a consensus, in fact, there is no deep hatred between us, and I would not be the emperor without them killing the first emperor. This qiē originally had nothing to do with Lu Bing, but you have to be nosy. It was only by getting me involved that I got into these situations that followed, but in fact you are the crux of the matter. Speaking of which. In fact, if you think about it, it makes sense. So Bai Yu and they also agreed, our common enemy is you, Lu Bing! ”
"Go ahead, it's over, and I don't want to comment too much on what's right and what's wrong, because it's useless discussion." Lu Bingdao, he didn't bother to say anything righteous or righteous to Zhu Houxi, and he didn't even bother to explain the ambition of Mi Thirteen to seek power and usurp the throne, the emperors didn't care about these, they only looked at the vested immediate interests. And it's really useless to argue about these rights and wrongs, Lu Bing wants to know what happened next. Of course, if you follow Zhu Houxi's line of thought, it can't be wrong, because no one dares to infer what will happen later, if there is no Lu Bing's intervention, maybe things are not the way they are now, no one can say this, it can only be said that it is destined to make people a thing.
Zhu Houxi nodded: "It's really meaningless, but Bai Yu and they believe it." In order to confuse them deeply and paralyze them, I even secretly issued a holy decree to them, issued an official dish Wendu, and once you were to inform the world, I would allocate Yunnan and Guangxi to the Secret Thirteen. At the same time, I also withdrew the wolf soldiers from the border guards, and the herald went with Mi 13's men, which reassured them that it seemed that I was not deliberately deceiving them. ”
"It only took me two days to paralyze them, after entering Beijing, the inseparable Bai Yu and Dongfang Ao were separated by me, and Dongfang Ao stayed in the underground palace to enjoy himself, where there were more than 100 beauties and all kinds of precious medicinal materials, and I also said that once I succeeded, I could give Dongfang Ao the antidote that Lu Bing had refined that could cure the world's poison to Dongfang Ao for study. Bai Yu is very cautious, he doesn't like women very much, at least he is not close to women here, but people have to eat, but since Dongfang Ao is well versed in pharmacology, and Bai Yu relies on Dongfang Ao in everything, it means that even if he understands, he will not be too proficient. Zhu Houxi said.
Lu Bing suddenly laughed: "Then who do you mean, you ordered the ingredients in his wine and food?" ”
"That's right, it's just the way of others to govern others." Zhu Houxi said: "And the underground palace is one of the royal secrets, even I happened to know it a few years after I ascended the throne, and I have been buried in my heart, and I used it this time." I used the anti-theft mechanism in the underground palace to trap Dongfang Ao, but it's a pity that the more than 100 flower-like girls also have to be buried together as bait, so Dongfang Ao is not a loss, and now the emperor is not buried so much, so he died without a loss. The fire and mercury were combined with poisonous gas, even if Dongfang was arrogant and tight, he died in the underground palace, and I cut off his head, which was my own hand, splashing my blood. Dare to drug me, it's really looking for death! ”
"What about White Feather?" Lu Bing asked.
Zhu Houxi scratched his head in distress and said, "Hey, it's really hard to say." He is simply not human, and I also left him in the dungeon, but I just said that staying outside will inevitably be discovered by your people, and the dungeon is the safest and more unexpected. But even though Bai Yu was highly poisoned and besieged by so many good hands and tricks, he still escaped, this person is simply not human. He rushed out of the dungeon and killed nearly forty of my masters. Two of his masters were defeated by me, and the rest were stabbed in the back and killed. In the battle of the White Feather Trapped Beast, they were afraid that it would be unfavorable to them in the future if the White Feather ran away, so they bravely made their efforts, risked the danger and paid the price of being equally seriously injured, and I sent a hundred unborn masters, as well as the internal guards of the East Factory and the warriors of the Imperial Horse Prison to subdue the White Feather. ”
Although Zhu Houyu said it lightly, Lu Bing could still imagine the tragic scene of that day, it must have been a master secretly collected by Zhu Houxi, and it took his life to fill in the power of nine cows and two tigers to restrain Bai Yu. Back then, he could have trapped Bai Yu, but he couldn't bear to let his soldiers die in his own hands, and he ran away from Bai Yu after a momentary miscalculation, Zhu Houxi was more ruthless than himself, how to exclude dissidents and sit firmly in the world if he was not ruthless? !
What surprised Lu Bing even more was that such a big thing happened in the palace, and Lu Bing didn't know at all, which showed that Chen Hong had done a good job of secrecy, and Zhu Houxi had indeed grown up and become much more powerful. Lu Bing's throat moved slightly, swallowed his saliva and said: "Why is there only Dongfang Ao's head, could it be that you didn't kill Bai Yu, could it be that you still want to rely on him to deal with me?" Hmph, I'm afraid that there will be no good results for luring wolves into the house, right? ”
"Hey, what I'm worried about now is not to lure the wolf into the house, but to fight the snake and not die but to suffer from it." Zhu Houxi held his forehead and sighed.
Lu Bing was stunned and said, "Oh? How can you say this, could it be that Bai Yu ran away? (To be continued......)
