Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Three: The Secret of the City
After listening to Chu Liuyan's clever cross-examination, Lian Chengjue, who has always been unhindered in argumentation, was a little overwhelmed, and said with a sudden discoloration: "Miss Chu doesn't have to target me every word, even a certain is also for the sake of pity in her heart." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, saw that there was a great dispute between Lianchengjue and Chu Liuyan, and hurriedly made peace and said: "Today is a good day to worship King Xiao Ming, and I think the matter between the two will be discussed later." ”
Chu Liuyan originally wanted to pay a good tribute to Lianchengjue's reply, but when he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, came out to make peace, and had to sell Zhu Yuanzhang a face, he looked at Lianchengjue and said softly: "Wu Guogong said even, this matter is not trivial, and it cannot be decided in one word, but the matter of General Xu Da, please also ask General Lian to read that after General Xu Da fell into the water after King Xiaoming was overturned, he was fortunate enough to get out of trouble, and immediately went into the water to rescue King Xiaoming, and did not chase after General Xu Da to death." ”
Lian Chengjue didn't realize that Chu Liuyan, who was still violently changing his argument, actually said such a thing to himself, and suddenly felt unexpected.
Watching a beautiful woman pleading with herself, naturally she felt extremely comfortable like this, plus did she know that today was the day to sacrifice to King Xiao Ming, and it was not appropriate to see blood, so her heart softened, and she said to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu: "Wu Guogong, the soldiers of Chuzhou did not have the slightest intention of Wu Guogong to kill General Xu Da, but they just wanted Wu Guogong to make a little sincerity, and more than 100,000 Chuzhou soldiers must be able to join together." ”
After that, this person seemed to be joking and said: "Wu Guogong, please look, this place is up the Shuojiang River, and Hanyang is not far away." ”
Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and carefully smashed Liancheng Jue's words, and soon understood Liancheng Jue's words, although on the surface Liancheng Jue meant that the Chuzhou soldiers did not necessarily ask Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang to kill Xu Da, but as long as Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang killed Xu Da, then more than 100,000 soldiers in Chuzhou would be under his banner, but if he didn't agree to kill Xu Da, then the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses outside Yingtian City would be another matter. Perhaps these more than 100,000 people will defect to the Han King Chen Youliang.
As soon as I thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, broke out in a cold sweat, the power of the Han King Chen Youliang was already so grand, if the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Chuzhou went to the same again, then Ying Tian must not be able to stop the joint impact of such two great forces, if the Han King Chen Youliang annexed more than 100,000 Chuzhou soldiers and horses, and then raised troops to attack Yingtian, then Ying Tiancheng can be dangerous, and it is not impossible to go down overnight. ”
So Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang was very worried, I don't know if I should show an attitude towards this person here, at this time, there was a sudden shout outside to kill Xu Da and belong to Wu Guogong, Wu Guogong heard a shock in his heart, and didn't think much about it, so he hurriedly promised to Liancheng Jue: "Xu Da is certainly guilty, but today is the day of the memorial of King Xiao Ming, it is not appropriate to hold a ceremony, please forgive a while, wait for King Xiao Ming's funeral is not too late." ”
Lian Chengjue said with a happy face when he heard this: "Since Wu Guogong has this problem, the general of Chuzhou dares to ask again, and today I will inform the general of Chuzhou of this matter and order the rest of the people to disperse." ”
Chu Liuyan's heart was indeed tight, and he had a strong hatred for Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang's words were clearly to kill Xu Da, Chu Liuyan was angry in his heart, and originally wanted to question Wu Guogong, but Liu Bowen gave her a look, clearly signaling that he didn't have to attack, Chu Liuyan calmed down and smiled before he understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was forced to be forced by the soldiers and horses of Chuzhou, in such a dangerous situation, even if Wu Guogong wanted to save Xu Da, he had to weigh the priority of the matter first. So for Liancheng Jue's words, it may be just a reassuring word, and it should not be true, otherwise even if today is the day to pay tribute to King Xiao Ming, Xu Da can be killed and presented to King Xiao Ming.
Thinking about this clearly, Chu Liuyan's hatred for Wu Guogong suddenly eased a lot. Chu Liuyan knew that no matter what he did, he couldn't make Zhu Yuanzhang retract this sentence now, and now the only way was to wait for the generals of Chuzhou to leave, and privately inquire about Wu Guogong's true intentions.
Liu Bowen saw that Chu Liuyan's brows were slightly relieved when he saw that he was about to open his mouth to question Zhu Yuanzhang, and he already knew in his heart that Chu Liuyan had understood what he meant, so he nodded lightly at Chu Liuyan.
Chu Liuyan decided, no matter what, as soon as the Chuzhou soldiers left, they would immediately talk to Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang in detail, first of all, to know what kind of attitude Wu Guogong had towards this matter, and whether he really intended to kill Xu Da, so as to calm down such an extremely strange incident in Chuzhou.
Of course, Chu Liuyan has another question in his heart, but it is really not easy to uncover this question, Chu Liuyan wants to know why the soldiers of Chuzhou came here today to coerce Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guogong, to agree to kill Xu Da to avenge King Xiaoming. This matter seems to be logical, but Chu Liuyan has already seen some clues from some signs, this matter is not accidental, there seems to be someone behind it who is faintly manipulating, Chu Liuyan also wants to know who is behind the manipulation of this matter, and what is the purpose of doing this, is it really just to kill Xu Da, it seems that things are not as simple as they seem. ”
Therefore, Chu Liuyan really wants to know what he has to do to uncover this extremely secret mystery, speaking of which, this hidden mystery is still quietly hidden in Chu Liuyan's undetectable corner, the truth is extremely vague, but it is extremely attractive to this Chu Liuyan.
Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang lit the incense stick with his own hands and waited for a while.
"Come, General Lian, come and give King Xiao Ming a pillar of incense." Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Liancheng Jue took a step forward, took the incense stick from the hand of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, and then someone took a worship tool and spread it to Liancheng Jue, Liancheng Jue walked to the front of the worship tool, bent his knees, and then knelt down respectfully on the worship tool, kowtowed a few times to the spiritual seat of King Xiao Ming, and then stood up and inserted the incense stick in his hand into the incense burner on the case.
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, saw that this person had finished entering the incense, he immediately followed and incense the tablet of Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming.
Liancheng Jue, who was retreating to the side, saw that Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu Guogong had finished making incense, so he opened his mouth and said: "Xiao Ming Wang Yingling is above, as long as Wu Guogong acts according to his words, my Liancheng Jue will definitely be attached to Wu Guogong's account and listen to the dispatch." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that if people were attached to him, the generals of Chuzhou would inevitably be attached, so he stepped forward with a smile and helped Liancheng Jue and said with a smile: "If the prince of my country is in Chuzhou, you are also a minister in the same palace, and they are all the courtiers of King Xiaoming, and they are all in the same air, how dare you send the general at all." Since he and the general are of one heart and one mind, they will resist the foreign captives. ”
When Lian Chengjue heard this, he also echoed with a smile and said: "Since Wu Guogong is so important to me, how can I not serve Wu Guogong's account." ”
Saying that, Lian Chengjue said to the Chuzhou generals behind him: "Brothers, Wu Guogong is magnanimous, but instead of pursuing our recklessness today, his words and virtues are really rare. Such a British lord, how can we miss it, I have made up my mind, after today, I will be attached to the account of Wu Guogong, I don't know what the brothers think. If there is any objection, it can be raised in front of me and Wu Guogong, and we will refer to it together. ”
The generals of Chuzhou saw that the eldest brother expressed his attitude and belonged to Wu Guogong, and they also echoed him: "I waited for the eldest brother to listen to the eldest brother, and joined Wu Guogong with the eldest brother." ”
"Yes, if you belong to Wu Guogong, it is ten times better than being tortured by those civil servants in Chuzhou."
"Wu Guogong is indeed a British lord, and we are willing to join him."
Chu Liuyan heard someone say that he was tortured by the Wenchen of Chuzhou, and a trace of doubt appeared in his heart.
At that time, this situation was not easy to ask these high-spirited Chuzhou generals carefully, so they kept an eye on it and secretly remembered it in their hearts.
Chu Liuyan originally planned to take a look at the situation, but now when he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, had agreed to Lianchengjue's conditions, he was still extremely worried about Xu Da's matter.
Now seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu Guo, attaches so much importance to Liancheng Jue, he feels more and more unhappy in his heart, and he originally wanted to have a seizure.
Who knew that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, didn't give her a chance at all, so he turned around and said to her: "Master Chu, please go out and make a slight arrangement, and when I finish discussing the important matter with the soldiers of Chuzhou, I will go back to my house immediately." ”
