Chapter 544: "Loyal Ministers" Kill Their Relatives Righteously
Before dawn, Doreen got out of the camp from the way she came, and quickly fled while Liu Yue was still asleep in the dark. The two hugged each other for a night, and Doreen already regarded herself as Liu Yu's woman.
The next day was sunny, and yesterday a heavy rain made the valley a little sparkling in the early morning sun. Under the mottled shadows of the trees, Liu Yu walked out of the tent, and he got up very early during the extraordinary period, although he still felt that his eyelids were a little dry.
When Liu Yu came out, the soldiers were still patrolling, and the Yue women were silently fetching water by the stream to wash their clothes. There are also women who are wiping their bodies with cloths, and they seem to deliberately expose a piece of skin to seduce the group of young men under Liu Yu.
behaved frivolously, but when they saw Liu Yu come out, they all restrained their posture again, concentrated on their own things, and pretended to be like no troublemakers.
Liu Yu has a superior status in the caravan, and Liu Yu should also be their focus on "seducing", but Duo Lin has been recognized by them as the person in charge, and they naturally know that Lu Dao cannot be compared with Duo Lin, who is young and beautiful and has a common language with Liu Yue, in terms of physical capital, so they turn to Liu Yu, the old-fashioned and serious caravan leader, as the culprit who hinders their happy life in the future. Because Liu Yu had always objected to the caravan guards approaching them.
"Big boss, that kid was a little dishonest yesterday."
Liu Yu was washing his face by the stream, and Lian Hu came over to report to Liu Yu. After yesterday's disturbance of Yetou Mountain, even Hu Sheng was in charge of keeping vigil until dawn, and his eyes were a little red.
Liu Yu wiped his face with a cloth and said, "You go back to rest first, and I'll take over that kid's business." Go tell them too, it's a shift change. ”
Because the caravan entered the valley. From a mobile camp to a permanent camp. Therefore, Liu Yu also strengthened defensive patrols. Whether it is patrolling or going out to inspect, it is divided into two shifts, and as soon as there is a disturbance, Liu Yu is ready to evacuate the valley at any time.
When Liu Yu saw yesterday's captive, Xu Yuanwei, who claimed to be Xu Yuanfang's younger brother, Xu Yuanwei was reasoning with the soldiers guarding him, and Liu Yue heard from afar that this kid was fighting for his right to eat and drink water toilets.
The captives were temporarily placed in corners of the woods, with no human figures to be seen. So arranged. Liu Yu also has special considerations.
“…… You're in charge. When Xu Yuanwei saw Liu Yu, he first reminded those soldiers, and then looked at Liu Yu with a smile, if it wasn't for his hands tied to the tree, Liu Yu believed that he would definitely get up and kowtow.
In Liu Yu's opinion, this person is really greedy for life and afraid of death.
"You've got a lot of problems." Liu Yu found a wooden stake next to him and sat down, "What do you want, say." ”
"You are no ordinary business travelers, I saw it at a glance yesterday. Other...... There's no disrespect in the mean, I mean, you let me go. I can be an internal response for you, you are members of the court. If the imperial court wants to eradicate the power of a local sect like my eldest brother, I can help. ”
Liu Yu sneered slightly, there is also a "general knowledge", this kid should respond to what he says, but he is trying to get out.
"How do you know that we are members of the court?" Liu Yu waved his hand to signal the soldiers not to embarrass Xu Yuanwei for the time being, and asked instead.
"The firearms in your hands, I saw them when I was in Chuzhou, this thing is only equipped with the elite of the imperial army, and the one who can use the firearms like a god is probably the elite of the elite division."
Liu Yuxin said that this kid's knowledge is not bad, but what he said, as long as he deliberately investigates, he will know the way. This is also the reason why Liu Yu went to disturb the Xu Yuanfang army on the periphery of Yetou Mountain, making them think that the imperial army had a military operation.
"You say you are willing to respond, why should we believe you?" Liu Yu said coldly.
Xu Yuanwei sighed, as if he was a little emotional: "Actually, I have long felt that the second brother betrayed the court at fault, but please believe that the second brother is also forced by the situation." This place is far away from Lingbei, and other people around him want to work against the imperial court, how dare the second brother disobey. If you don't comply, the alien races of the surrounding southern barbarians will make some trouble, and who will be willing to help. At that time, the second brother became a loner, and the imperial army withdrew, and the second brother had nothing. ”
Liu Yu nodded, what Xu Yuanwei said was quite reasonable. This is also why some powerful forces in the south are obviously afraid of the imperial court, and they only secretly express their willingness to surrender to the imperial court, but they do not dare to take actual action or express it publicly, because they do not want to be the first bird and be hated by the surrounding forces.
Liu Yu smiled and said: "Then listen to what you mean, General Xu should have handed over a secret letter to the imperial court and was willing to surrender?" I heard that many powerful people in the south have handed over letters of surrender. ”
Xu Yuanwei smiled embarrassedly and said, "That's not true, second brother, he ...... Still a little stubborn. ”
Liu Yu secretly wondered in his heart, this kid didn't tell a lie, what forces in the south secretly communicated to the imperial court, Liu Yu, the boss, was very tight. Xu Yuanfang belongs to the kind of person who doesn't know each other, and he doesn't even bother to perfunctory the court.
"Why don't you say that General Xu intends to take refuge in the imperial court, anyway, we don't know whether it's true or not, if General Xu really intends to take refuge in the imperial court, maybe we will let you go."
Xu Yuanwei sighed: "There is nothing wrong with telling the truth, please believe me, I will test the tone of the second brother after I go back, if he insists on embarrassing the court, then I will ...... I'll just ......"
"Righteous annihilation?" Liu Yu helped him replenish.
"Right...... Righteous annihilation, I can't let the second brother be wrong again. Trust me. ”
Liu Yu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, this was the funniest joke he had heard in the past two years. A captive of unknown origin claimed to be a high-ranking officer of the enemy army, and promised to go back and kill their commander, who was still his brother, and would go back to kill his relatives.
"That's a good point." Liu Yu stood up and said, "There are such loyal ministers in the imperial court, why worry about the injustice in southern Xinjiang." Come, take him ...... Crashed! ”
Xu Yuanwei originally thought that Liu Yu was going to let him go, but who knew that Liu Yu was the most embarrassed and ordered to kill him. Xu Yuanwei immediately shouted loudly, was held to the head by a gun, and was already incontinent below, and his whole face was pale with fright.
Liu Yu stepped forward and grabbed Xu Yuanwei's collar and said, "Boy, I might as well tell you that the imperial army will go south to pacify you landlords on the same day, and we are here to come to the outpost." Hmph, if you still have the heart to come out and besiege these alien races in Lingnan, sooner or later you will be wiped out with the alien races in Lingnan! ”
Xu Yuanwei was intimidated by death threats, coupled with Liu Yu's momentum of wanting to kill, which made him have to believe that this was Liu Yu's advice to him before he died.
Liu Yu stared at Xu Yuanwei for a long time, but he didn't give the order to shoot. Liu Yu said when he parted: "Good life guard, go back and ask the above, whether to kill or release, or take it back for detailed interrogation, and wait for the arrangement." ”
Liu Yu said "above", and the soldiers were curious, wasn't the person above Liu Yu the emperor? Now whether the regent listens to the emperor, or the emperor listens to the regent, these soldiers are also very confused. But one thing is clear, Liu Yue ordered them to do it, and they didn't need to worry about the outcome of the "request".
Liu Yu came out, Lian Husheng was waiting, and Lian Husheng was still puzzled by Liu Yu's way of dealing with Xu Yuanwei. It stands to reason that at present, there are not many people and we are in danger, so we should not make any extraneous problems. But Liu Yu seems to be deliberately trying to make extraneous branches.
"It's still useful to us, and we can't kill it for the time being." Liu Yu said, "But before using him, don't let him run away." ”
"Yes!" Even Hu Sheng can only receive his life, Liu Yu's words are undoubted.
Liu Yu returned to the camp in the valley, and at this time Duo Lin also got up, and was fetching water by the stream to boil water, but her spirit was a little trance, it should have been that she didn't sleep well last night.
Seeing Liu Yu, Duo Lin's cheeks were flushed and she didn't even dare to raise her head. Although she didn't really dedicate herself to success yesterday, Liu Yu accepted her anyway, and she felt even more uneasy at this time, because she still felt that she hadn't passed Mrs. Liu Yu's level. She was thinking about what Liu Yu would tell her wife, and Qu Ning also came out to fetch water to wash her face.
Liu Yu seemed to turn a deaf ear to Qu Ning, and went over to warm up with Duo Lin for a while, until Duo Lin felt that the people around her looked at him differently, so he hurriedly saluted and said that he would go back to boil water. Liu Yu turned his head, and Qu Ning was looking back at her by the stream, with something complicated in his eyes.
"Ma'am, early." Liu Yu greeted with a smile.
"Early." Qu Ning said expressionlessly.
Liu Yu squatted down beside Qu Ning and said with a smile: "Madame, do you want to help?" ”
"No need, Xianggong should go and see if Sister Duo Lin needs help, the concubine is used to taking care of herself."
Liu Yu felt that there was a sour vinegar smell in these words, if he heard these words without knowing it, it must be because of the woman's jealousy. But Liu Yue knew that this was not, because Qu Ning's dream lover was Liu Liniang who dressed as a man, a woman who was willing to travel thousands of miles to find a husband for her lover, Liu Yu still didn't think about it.
"I don't know how Bai Yue's injuries are?" Liu Yu had no choice but to change the topic at this time and intercede with Qu Ning, but he also felt that it was boring to talk about himself.
"The girl's injuries are not serious, the other two are not so lucky, and it should be that a few people have to escort the girl out of danger and be seriously injured. Once the wound broke out, it is estimated that they will not survive these two days. ”
Liu Yu also guessed yesterday that Mi Er, as Bai Yue's daughter, was like a little princess, and Bai Yueren was desperately escorting her. Although Mill's injuries were minor, she blamed herself, presumably for her decision to kill her companions, and for her own escape because her companions sacrificed their lives to save her.
Liu Yu thought to himself, Mi Er is also a sensible girl, but what can she do now that she is sensible? If Mier had been obedient the day before yesterday, he would not have dragged his companion to his death.
"Do your best, save if you can, don't be reluctant." Liu Yu's face was solemn and he gave an order to Qu Ning.
After that, Liu Yu had to reformulate his further plan, and the success of this plan was conditional, that is, the Qi side could receive his orders as soon as possible and send cavalry to attack Kangsheng. The reason why Liu Yu chose Kangsheng as the cavalry attack point was also because the road to the north of Kangsheng was spacious and suitable for cavalry assault.
After that, Liu Yu wanted to use Xu Yuanwei, a captive, to "build momentum" for this matter. (To be continued......)
