Chapter 81: Lu Deng's Wish
It is said that Lu Deng was taking care of affairs in the yamen, and saw one of his personal soldiers hurrying over, and said breathlessly: "My lord-no, the golden soldiers-from the water pass-sneak attack-success, opened--city gates, put down--suspension bridges, and a large number of golden soldiers - killed in." When Lu Deng heard this, he was taken aback, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Alas-providence, providence-"
"My lord, let's go, the Jin soldiers are about to hit the yamen, and if you don't leave, it's too late." The pro-soldier urged.
"Let's go! Lu'an Prefecture has been lost, and the people of Li have been devastated, what face do I have to live in the world again? Besides, if I killed so many golden soldiers and cut off my nose, how could they let me go? Let's go! I want to live and die with Lu'an Prefecture, and I will be loyal to the country. Lu Deng said.
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she walked out of the inner hall with her son who had not yet been weaned, and said, "Your Excellency must be loyal to the country, and your concubines will do your best for your husband." The son was handed over to the nursing mother to take care of it in order to preserve the Lu family's incense. Mrs. Lu said that she handed over the child to the nurse, and said sadly: "Sister, after the death of my lord and I, there is only such a little bit of blood and bones, you must raise him Chengren and inherit the incense of the Lu family." Sister's great kindness, our husband and wife can only repay it in the next life. When Mrs. Lu said this, she suddenly pulled out her sword from the waist of her own soldier and killed herself on the spot.
Lu Deng saw his wife die generously, and his heart was naturally grief-stricken. He bowed deeply to the child's nursing mother and said, "Sister, after we go, the child will ask you." You go quickly, if you don't leave, it's too late. Lu Deng said and sighed: "That's it, that's it, the sky is going to kill me, what can I do?" After finishing speaking, he also drew his sword and killed himself, and the blood spurted more than three feet, and the person was dead and his bones did not fall.
When everyone saw this, they were shocked, and hurriedly packed up some important things and escaped.
The nurse took the child back to the inner hall to pack her luggage and was about to escape, when she suddenly heard the chaotic footsteps outside and the fierce fighting, and she was so scared that she didn't dare to go out.
After a while, I saw a tall and mighty Jin man wearing aristocratic clothes walk in, this person was none other than the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom.
When Jin Wushu entered the door, he was dumbfounded, only to see a person holding a sword in his hand and staring at him, standing proudly.
"Who are you? The heavenly soldiers have arrived, why do they dare to be here? The Golden Vulture let out a loud shout and swung the Gorse Axe to slash at Lu Deng's corpse.
The man stood there silent, nor fell.
When Jin Wushu approached, it turned out to be Lu Deng, who had already killed himself.
"It's really strange, when Lu Deng has been dead for a long time, why is the corpse still standing there? Could it be—" Jin Wushu didn't think much about it, he looked around, only to see that there was a woman's corpse behind Lu Deng.
"This must be Mrs. Lu. She is really worthy of being a chaste martyr, admirable and respectable. Jin Wushu sighed.
"Why is Lu Deng dead, but his body is still standing, does he still have any wishes? Is he afraid that we will kill innocents indiscriminately? I'll test it. Jin Wushu thought of this and asked: "General Lu, this king knows that you love the people, and you are afraid that after we enter the city, we will kill the people and destroy the corpses of your husband and wife, so you will not fall." Don't worry, this king promises you not to kill innocents indiscriminately, and not to disturb the people and harm the people. "Jin Wushu said that he ordered the banner officer to pass the order: camp outside the city, do not disturb the people and harm the people, and those who violate the order will be beheaded.
"General Lu, don't worry! The husband is true to his word. The Golden Vulture came to the front and said.
Lu Deng still stood, staring.
Jin Wushu pondered: "Does he want to be buried with his wife?" ”
"General Lu, it must be your wife who is lying behind you, your wife is doing her best for you, do you want to be buried with your wife, don't you? Don't worry, I will bury your husband and wife together on the side of the road, so that passers-by will know that you are loyal ministers and women, how about it? Jin Wushu said.
Lu Deng's body still stands.
"What a weird thing! Could it be that he is also like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu back then, who killed himself in Wujiang, and his body stood without falling, until Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, personally bowed to him. The Golden Vulture was inexplicably surprised.
"General Lu, this king knows that you are a hero who stands up to the sky and the earth, and you deserve to be worshiped by this king." Jin Wushu knelt down after saying this, bowed three times in a row, and prayed in his mouth: "General Lu, you husband and wife go all the way, and what this king promised you will definitely do." ”
Lu Deng still stood there with his eyes wide.
Jin Wushu couldn't figure it out in his heart: "Why is a person standing so majestically after being dead for so long, is he afraid that I will enter the inner room to search?" I heard that Lu Deng has a son who has not yet been weaned, is he afraid that I will hurt his son? Where is this child now? I have to find them. ”
At this moment, I saw the military advisor Ha Mi Chi holding a woman, and the woman walked in with a child more than a year old and nearly two years old in her hand.
"Generalissimo, this woman was about to slip out of the back door with her child in her arms, and I took him, and I think he must be Lu Deng's son. I beg the marshal to hand them over to me to avenge the slitting of their noses. Ha Mi said.
Seeing his wife's frightened look, Jin Wushu asked, "Who are you?" Is the child in his hand General Lu's flesh and blood? Tell me the truth, maybe I can help you get away with this. ”
The nurse knelt down and kowtowed, crying and saying, "This child is indeed the son of Master Lu, and I am his nurse." When the old man and his wife were dying, they entrusted me with orphans and asked me to raise the child Chengren and inherit the Lu family's incense. My lord, my lord is such a son, please be merciful and let us go. ”
After hearing this, Jin Wushu suddenly realized, it turned out that Lu Dengli did not fall because he was afraid that the king would kill his son.
"General Lu, this king understands, you are afraid that this king will harm your Lu family, right? Don't worry, I will definitely raise Ling Lang Chengren, let him go home to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and inherit the Lu family's incense. As for the nurse, I will not treat her badly, I will let her stay with Ling Lang to take care of her until she is old. Jin Wushu said, and bowed again.
As soon as Jin Wushu bowed, a miracle appeared immediately, only to see Lu Deng's corpse fall down with a snap, and slowly closed his eyes.
Jin Wushu was overjoyed, and held Lu Gongzi in his arms and looked at it again and again, the child's beautiful little face, flickering eyeballs, and small lips that opened and closed from time to time, how cute and cute it was. The Golden Vulture was almost a little in love.
Seeing that the fourth prince liked Lu Deng's son, although he was unhappy, he was helpless.
Jin Wushu instructed the soldiers to bury Lu Deng and his wife next to the road, and erected a tall and large stone tablet with the words: The tomb of Lu Deng and his wife, the wife of the loyal ministers of the Great Song Dynasty.
After the burial of Lu Deng and his wife, Jin Wushu sent another 500 soldiers to escort the nurse and Lu Gongzi back to Huanglong Mansion, and he personally commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to rush to the Two Wolves Pass.
