Chapter 812: An Abandoned Rebellion
The snow reflected the starlight, the bright red lanterns were waving in the wind, and the chariots and horses of the envoys and officials of various countries came out of the palace gate one after another.
The Lu family couldn't wait and wanted to escape from the palace quickly, seeing that it was about to be their turn, but when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, a palace man came in a hurry, jumped off the horse, and whispered a few words to Song Yanwu.
As a result, the otherwise smooth flow of traffic suddenly became sluggish, and the Imperial Guards began to scrutinize every carriage, even the retinue had to be brought under the lamp to take a closer look.
"What's going on?" Lu Xinglu couldn't hold his breath, and hurriedly summoned someone to the front to ask, he had a very bad premonition.
The attendant soon returned: "I won't say anything." ”
Master Lu half-closed his eyes and explained to him: "Don't worry, don't panic, don't ask, do you see that they have inspected every car, or is it just for us?" ”
Lu Xinglu said: "That's not true, I asked." ”
Master Lu said: "King Wu is still on the frontier, there are two noble concubines in the palace, and they don't have any handle on us, so I don't think they will do anything to us for the time being." ”
Even so, Lu Xinglu still gave an order to the dead soldier who followed him: "Later, if you find that something is wrong, you will desperately protect us and escape!" ”
He looked at the back: "Behind is the family of Fan Guohua's family, if it doesn't work, bring his family with him and be a hostage." ”
As they spoke, it was their turn.
Lu Xinglu jumped out of the carriage and greeted Song Yanwu in person, Song Yanwu whispered in his ear: "It's Li Shang who is missing, and he didn't find it." ”
Lu Xinglu relieved himself and signaled that the dead man did not need to be too nervous, and then, sure enough, his carriage quickly passed the checkpoint and was released.
The carriage and horse walked forward, and soon joined the other part of the Lu family dead who were waiting outside, Lu Xinglu discussed with Lu Taishi: "I always feel that something is wrong, it is better to think of a way, let's escape from the city tonight......"
Lu Taishi said: "All of them fled, it is easy to startle the snake, you take Zilai and a few of them to escape, I will stay in Beijing, and the inside and outside should be together...... We still have a piece that hasn't moved......"
Before he could finish speaking, the carriage stopped suddenly.
Lu Xinglu reacted very quickly and shouted: "Be on guard!" ”
The dead drew their swords one after another, and before they could make a move, a rain of arrows like locusts had already fallen, killing and wounding a large number of people in an instant.
The arrow fell on the wall of the car, making an "aggressive" sound, Lu Xinglu and Lu Taishi were shocked, and they cowered in the car and did not dare to come out, fortunately this car was a special steel car, otherwise the two would have become hedgehogs.
After the rain of arrows, there was a sound of swords and soldiers, and the leader of the dead men ran to the front of the car and hissed: "There is an ambush, the subordinates will protect the old lady and the old man first......"
Lu Xinglu was about to open the car door, but was held down by Lu Taishi, and in the dark, he could only hear Lu Taishi's voice like a broken bellows: "Don't open it, open the door and die." ”
Sure enough, it was only a few breaths before the sound of the fight stopped, the groans of the dead were gone, and the crisp sound of the horse's hooves falling on the stone slab was getting closer and closer, like the footsteps of the Grim Reaper.
An old voice sounded: "Master Lu, don't come unharmed." ”
When the Lu father and son heard this voice, they were all shocked, this, isn't this Chen Liuhou who is already dead?
Master Lu thought for a while, opened the window a crack, and after confirming that it was Chen Liuhou, he suddenly realized: "I see." ”
Chen Liuhou stroked his beard and said, "That's right, that's it." ”
Before, Concubine Lu and the Lu family teamed up to poison his food, but he found out in time, told Chonghua, and made this trap.
Master Lu was resentful: "Looking at you quite honestly, I didn't expect to be so treacherous!" ”
Chen Liuhou said: "If I don't do this, how can I lead the snake out of the hole?" ”
Master Lu sneered: "The cunning rabbit has three holes, do you think that if Your Majesty lifts you, you are really amazing?" Just by virtue of your few hits, I want to fight with the old man, and I am a little tender! The old man originally wanted to be loyal to the country of Li and His Majesty, but he was forced to have no way out by villains and traitors! His Majesty listens to and believes, favors the demon girl of Qiu Ming, and is reckless, this is to bring the country of Li into dire straits! ”
"So what?" Chen Liuhou had a good time.
"The old man wants to do the right thing for heaven!" Lu Taishi shouted, and Lu Xinglu immediately opened another window and shot a red firework into the sky.
Chen Liuhou laughed: "Today, the old man wants to see how you do the right thing for the sky!" ”
A stick of incense passed, two pillars of incense passed, and the expected sound of soldiers did not come, and not even a single figure was seen.
Mrs. Lu was in a hurry, so he asked Lu Xinglu: "Put another one!" ”
Lu Xinglu hurriedly set off another firework.
Chen Liuhou said: "I advise you not to waste your spirit, you are waiting for your sons-in-law, right?" They have already gone to the prison and are waiting for you. ”
There is a reason why the Lu family is so confident, several outstanding daughters of Lu Taishi, except for Lu Chun who entered the palace and Lu Huanting who was to be married, the rest of them all married into powerful families, and several sons-in-law were born in military generals' families, and they all had their own people and forces.
Between in-laws, it is a relationship of both prosperity and loss, not to mention that Taishi Lu himself is not such a good person, he is scheming, and he has already mastered the other party's selfishness and vital points when he was an in-law.
Half coercion and half inducement, after many years of operation, very well prepared, the original plan was that if there was an accident today, it would simply be reversed.
They learned the lesson of Webster, reserved a city gate, and planned to escape from there if they did not succeed, and attack the nearest county town that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
At the same time, he will also take the important town of Changlian, and the second son-in-law of Lu Taishi is the deputy general there, as long as he can kill the main general and his cronies by surprise, he can control Changlian.
With these two places as strongholds, echoing with King Wu, and with the help of the Dongling people, the rebellion was half successful.
Taishi Lu is waiting at the moment, waiting for one of his sons-in-law in Beijing to come and rescue him and rebel. Hearing Chen Liuhou say this, and it was true that he had not waited for anyone to arrive for a long time, he was not sure in his heart: "Nonsense!" ”
Chen Liuhou sneered: "Do you think that the old man cheated to death, and the queen mother carried the infamy, Your Majesty has endured it for a long time, what is it for?" I'll tell you the truth! The Black Armor Army went to Changlian as early as after the old man's funeral! Today, my father and son soldiers divided into two ways, captured Lu Zilai and Li Shang all the way, and killed your accomplices all the way and waited here, quickly arrest them! ”
At the sound of an order, a group of soldiers stepped forward to overturn Taishi Lu's carriage and dragged the embarrassed father and son out.
Until the end, it didn't alarm too many people.
The envoys of various countries left the palace safely, returned to the post house, and the officials returned home, and the palace quickly became deserted.
