Chapter 290: Escape from the Tiger's Mouth
Lu Xuan was desperately thinking of a way to get out, only to see Wang Yong instantly take out a sharp short knife from his sleeve.
It's not the first time he's done this kind of thing, and he must be able to do what he says.
This place is in the middle of nowhere, although Lu Xuan is tied up and can't see the outside, she can also feel that there doesn't seem to be anyone around, maybe no one can really save her this time.
It seems that he can only save himself, so Lu Xuan forced his momentum to speak to Wang Yong: "I warn you, I am now the four-rank governor of His Majesty's Qinfeng, and I can be regarded as a court official, and I will be beheaded if I kill a court official privately." ”
But these words did not threaten Wang Yong, and he immediately laughed contemptuously: "The official of the court? Joke, do you think it's great to be the governor of the fourth grade now? I don't want to think about how I got to be in this official position. ”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan suddenly looked confused: "What do you mean by this?" What is called how did my official position come about? ”
Seeing Lu Xuan's reaction, Wang Yong couldn't help but joke: "It seems that our great fierce king His Royal Highness has not told you about his heroic deeds." ”
Lu Xuan originally only thought that his official position was asked by Gu Huanli to Emperor Liang Qin, but now looking at Wang Yong's reaction, things don't seem to be so simple.
After a pause, Wang Yong spoke again: "Since you are dying, I will be a good person and let you die clearly." ”
"Do you really think that His Majesty will make an exception to promote you? It's all your great fierce king in exchange for his military power. Wang Yong said.
Lu Xuan was shocked: "What? Military power? ”
Gu Huanli holds more than half of the military power of the Liang State in his hands, and it is precisely because of this that he is feared and polite everywhere, and even Liang Qindi does not dare to touch half of his hair.
But Lu Xuan knew in his heart that those people just didn't dare, their thoughts of wanting to get rid of Gu Huanli were more intense than anything else, and the military power was the biggest barrier for him to resist those attacks, if he lost the military power, I am afraid that he would immediately become the target of the public.
Seeing Lu Xuan's face in disbelief, Wang Yong didn't mind telling her in more detail - "His Royal Highness the Fierce King personally promised His Majesty that he would give you the official position of Governor of the Fourth Grade, and if you can't find out about the case, you will hand over the military power." ”
"Your Highness, how can he ......" Lu Xuan was a little unbearable for a while, she really couldn't imagine how someone as smart as Gu Huanli could make such a stupid decision.
Lu Xuan was worried, and Wang Yong approached her again: "Do you guess Your Majesty wants to see you investigate the case more, or does you want the military power in the hands of His Royal Highness the Murderous King?" ”
These words instantly woke up Lu Xuan, the matter of the treasure map is just an old case, how can Emperor Liang Qin care if it is revealed or not? On the contrary, it is the military power in Gu Huanli's hands, which king in the past dynasties did not want to keep the army firmly in his own hands?
So this is a trap at all, and all of this is not to facilitate Lu Xuan to find out the facts of the case, but just to deceive Gu Huanli of the military power in his hands.
Lu Xuan was anxious for a while, and she couldn't wait to rush out immediately to remind Gu Huanli, but now she couldn't protect herself.
"Don't worry, I killed you and obstructed your investigation of the case, His Royal Highness the Murderous King will naturally hand over the military power as promised, and then do you think Your Majesty should blame me for murdering the court official, or praise me for helping him regain the military power?" Wang Yong's expression was under his control.
Lu Xuan suddenly realized that if things really came to that point, Emperor Liang Qin's choice would naturally be the latter, so at the moment, her life was not only related to Lu Yan's reputation, but also to Gu Huanli's survival.
If this is the case, even if it is just to repay Gu Huanli's good intentions for himself for a long time, Lu Xuan will do his best to save his life.
Seeing that Wang Yong said everything that should be said and what should not be said, thinking that he probably didn't plan to let Lu Xuan leave alive today, she was in a hurry and thought of a way to save herself.
Seeing that Lu Xuan was tied up, he suddenly laughed, and his smile was extremely gorgeous, which seemed to be mixed with some kind of conspiracy that was about to be reached, which made Wang Yong feel uneasy.
"What are you laughing at when you die?" Wang Yong asked Lu Xuan.
But she never restrained her smile at all: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, you are really smart, even you know what Your Majesty has in mind for His Highness, is it not clear to Your Highness?" ”
This time, it was Wang Yong's turn to panic, and he immediately asked Lu Xuan, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Lu Xuan explained: "Your Highness has long known that someone will obstruct you on the grounds of military power, you are arresting me here now, where do you guess Your Highness is?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Yong immediately subconsciously looked around, but he didn't see half a figure, so he asked Lu Xuan again: "Where is he?" "Books.com
"Let me tell you the truth, Your Highness has known about your assassination of me at the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival for a long time, and he has been sending people to follow me, just to lure you into the bait, and when you attack me again, it will be when Your Highness will go to your house with an arrow to look for evidence of the crime." When Lu Xuan said this, he looked imposing, which made people have no doubt.
Wang Yong was naturally no exception, originally inadvertently shooting Gu Huanli that night was enough to make him panic, but now that he heard Lu Xuan mention that Gu Huanli had already learned about it, he was even more flustered.
Gu Huanli's revenge is known all over the city, if anyone dares to poke holes in him, I'm afraid he will have to pay a hundred holes in the other party before he can be willing.
Seeing Wang Yong's panicked reaction, it seemed that his words had worked, so Lu Xuan struck while the iron was hot-
"Most of the bows and arrows used in various parts of the imperial court are specially made for identification, and each arrow will have a specific emblem left on it, so Lord Wang must not have never noticed it."
Wang Yong is very arrogant and arrogant, these trivial things are always handed over to his subordinates to do, how can he pay attention to it? Lu Xuan also used his understanding of this point to dare to bet on this.
Hearing this, Wang Yong immediately fell into Lu Xuan's trap, and turned to ask her with an angry face: "So you were arrested by me on purpose?" Is this your plan to divert the tiger from the mountain? ”
Lu Xuan nodded: "That's true, but Lord Wang only realized at this time that it seems to be too late, I think His Royal Highness should have found evidence in your mansion with the secret guards at this moment, and Lord Wang may be able to bear the crime of murdering the court officials, but what about the crime of murdering the royal family?" ”
Even Emperor Liang Qin didn't dare to do anything to Gu Huanli, if the news of Wang Yong sending someone to shoot and injure him spread, I am afraid that even if Emperor Liang Qin was willing to protect him, the people of the whole world and the soldiers under Gu Huanli would not let him go.
When Lu Xuan said this, Wang Yong finally believed it, and suddenly became angry: "Okay, you dare to join forces to calculate me, do you want to deal with me?" Then I will take you to the funeral today! ”
Wang Yong raised her knife and rushed towards Lu Xuan as she spoke, but she shouted at him with the last bit of strength: "If you rush back to stop His Highness's people now, maybe it's too late!" ”
Hearing this, the movements in Wang Yong's hand paused for a moment, and Lu Xuan hurriedly took the opportunity to add: "If you delay with me here any longer, it will really be too late." ”
But these words stimulated Wang Yong, and he suddenly showed a grim smile: "Yes, I really don't have time to delay you more, so let you die a little better!" ”
Wang Yong raised his knife and slashed at Lu Xuan, and in a hurry, Lu Xuan subconsciously used the self-defense technique that Gu Huanli had personally taught her in the Fierce King's Mansion.
In fact, Gu Huanli wanted to teach Lu Xuan some kung fu early on, but he never put this matter on the agenda, and it wasn't until he saw her assassinated at the Lantern Festival that night, he didn't dare to delay any longer.
Thinking that there would probably be many people who would attack Lu Xuan in the future, Gu Huanli simply taught her a complete set of self-defense techniques and escape techniques in one go, but she didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.
I saw Lu Xuan turn around with the chair on her back, and the short knife just cut at the hemp rope that tied her wrist, and the hemp rope was cut in an instant, and she immediately lifted the chair and smashed it towards the other party's head.
Wang Yong always thought that Lu Xuan was powerless, so he was not at all defenseless against her move, and the moment he was hit by a chair, he only felt that the world was spinning, and when the hand covering his head was put down, his hands were already covered with blood.
And Lu Xuan didn't have time to think about it, he only felt that Wang Yong must have brought other entourages with him on this trip, so he immediately fled in the direction of the window after hitting him.
Seeing Lu Xuan fleeing from his eyes, Wang Yong hurriedly called someone, and someone rushed in immediately outside the main gate.
"The window, she escaped through the window, chase me!" Wang Yong covered the bleeding place on his head while angrily giving orders to his subordinates, and everyone hurriedly chased out in the direction of Lu Xuan's escape when they heard this.
Lu Xuan struggled to escape, but she also knew early on that someone would chase her, and with her physical strength, she would definitely not be able to outrun those well-trained people, so as soon as she went out, she found a place to hide, wanting to wait for the right time to leave here.
The people sent out went out to find Lu Xuan in a large circle, but Lu Xuan was missing, and Wang Yong mistakenly believed her lies, and hurriedly went back to besiege the people of the murderous palace, only to find out that he had been fooled.
"Damn, you dare to lie to me!" Wang Yong was even more angry for a while, and immediately personally led more people to search for Lu Xuan in the forest, but it was his angry move that provided information to Gu Huanli.
The secret guards who had been monitoring Wang Yong before noticed the abnormality and hurriedly came to report to Gu Huanli: "Your Highness, the commander of the Dongchang led people towards the woods on the outskirts of the city. ”
When Gu Huanli heard this, he immediately guessed something, and hurriedly ordered the secret guards to concentrate on the woods on the outskirts of the city.
At that time, Lu Xuan saw that there was no movement in the forest, and was about to run back to remind Gu Huanli of the military power, but was bumped into by the second group of men and horses sent by Wang Yong.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan turned her head and ran, but there were too many people chasing and they were all well-trained, she didn't have time to think about anything, so she could only hang her head and run forward, looking exhausted, but she bumped into something head-on.
