Chapter 686: Old Grievances Are Ruthless
"Dudu, the villain's crime deserves death! The villain's crime deserves 10,000 death! But the villain's family was in Lu Yifan's hands at that time, and they were also forced to be helpless!"
Late at night, in Dingbei Town, there were only two people in the inner hall of the huge border guard mansion, and Liu Tang, who came back in a hurry, knelt down in front of Chang Xu, and kept kowtowing to admit his mistake as if he was pounding garlic, while Chang Xu sat in the first place with an indifferent face, looked at Liu Tang with contempt, and said coldly: "The governor of Bendu also said that he Lu Yifan has the ability to escape the heavy search and arrest in northern Xinjiang, and it turned out that he hid in your home." Okay, you Liu Tang, as the banner owner of the Border Guard Mansion, actually shielded the wanted criminal appointed by the emperor without authorization, what crime should you be guilty of?"
"Capital crime!" Liu Tang dared to defend himself, and hurriedly admitted his mistake, "Liu Tang is a capital crime." The reason why Liu Tang dared to say this was entirely because he expected that Chang Xu would never kill him. Liu Tang's move is just to leave a way back for himself in advance, in case he dies in Jinling City in the east window incident, then he has a good relationship with Chang Xu now, and there will be room for relaxation in the future.
"Liu Tang, the governor of Pontus asked you, who personally promised to marry his daughter to me as a concubine?" Chang Xu asked in a cold voice full of anger.
"It's a villain. Although Liu Tang has scolded Chang Xuzu for the eighteen generations in his heart, he still honestly accepts all the sins.
"Pontus asks you again, since you personally promised to marry your daughter to me as a concubine, then why didn't he Lu Yifan come early or late, but came when I married your daughter?" Chang Xuyu asked.
"This ......" Liu Tang quickly calculated in his heart, and said with a wry smile, "The villain doesn't know the details of this matter, and the adults know that the villain hasn't been home for two years......"
"Nonsense!" Chang Xu slammed the teacup on the table on the ground with a "bang", and said, "Are you a fool to be the governor of Pontus?" Liu Tang, don't think that the governor of Pontus doesn't know what kind of medicine you sell in your gourd, you want to catch it from the left and right, but the governor of Bendu is now telling you that this is wishful thinking. If anything happens to Pontus, I will kill you before I die. ”
"The Governor will definitely be fine, Liu Tang is also willing to smear the Governor's liver and brain, and he will not give ......up his death" Liu Tang had already put away his past banter, and said respectfully, "But the Governor wants to beat me and scold me, and I still have a chance in the future, and there is one thing I have to tell the Governor immediately." ”
"If there's a fart, let it go, when is it, and I'm still playing dumb riddles in front of the Governor of Pontus. Chang Xu is now shocked and scared, and now the situation is chaotic and the relationship is complicated, which makes him even more timid and afraid, and he doesn't know what to do.
Liu Tang looked around left and right, and only after confirming that there was no one did he kneel forward a few steps, and said in a low voice: "Dudu, I haven't found Liu Er's figure since you left......
"Liu Er is your nephew, can't you find him and ask the governor of Pontus what he did?" Chang Xu thought that Liu Tang could tell some shocking secrets, and he listened carefully with bated breath just now, but as soon as he heard what was about Liu Er, his face suddenly sank, "Liu Er, he will die wherever he loves? ”
"My lord, if my unfortunate nephew dies, it won't be so troublesome, but I'm afraid that he won't ......die," Liu Tang whispered in his words, "but secretly went to the camp in Northern Xinjiang......
"What?" Liu Tang's words almost didn't make Chang Xu jump up from the chair, his clumsy body staggered towards Liu Tang, and almost fell to the ground when he rushed in front of Liu Tang, regardless of Liu Tang's support, Chang Xu grabbed Liu Tang's collar, stared at Liu Tang with a pair of cloudy eyes, and asked faintly: "What did Liu Er do when he went to the camp in Northern Xinjiang? Don't tell me that this kid also knows about Lu Yifan." ”
Although Liu Tang didn't want to admit it, how could he dare to hide anything now, so he could only nod lightly with a bitter face.
"You...... Bastard!" Hugh saw that Chang Xu was already seventy or eighty years old and was about to lose his breath, but once he lost his temper, he had a lot of strength, and only a crisp and loud slap was heard in the inner hall, and then Liu Tang's cheeks had already left five crimson fingerprints, and there was even a trace of scarlet blood on the corner of his mouth. After Chang Xu beat Liu Tang, he didn't forget to scold: "What are you doing? How can this kind of thing be ...... How can you let Liu Er's kid know?"
"This happened so suddenly, when I met Lu Yifan, Liu Er's kid happened to be with me. Liu Tang explained, "Although this kid is my nephew, I know him better than his father." If it is said that justice is upheld, poverty alleviation and poverty relief are not for him, but if it is said that this fake public and private and mercenary is for profit, then this kid is definitely a good hand who does not recognize his six relatives. So I suspect that this kid went to the camp in Northern Xinjiang to inform......"
"Look at your well-raised nephew. Chang Xu's gaze at Liu Tang was clearly filled with a kind of hatred of 'not enough to succeed and more to lose', "If this continues, it seems that the governor of Pontus will die in your hands sooner or later." Saying that, Chang Xu couldn't help the stuffiness in his chest, and coughed violently.
"Du Du is angry!" Liu Tang hurriedly patted Chang Xu's back and said with a wry smile, "I am also ...... about this matter I only remembered it later. ”
"Don't say it. Chang Xu waved his hand to interrupt Liu Tang's defense, and with Liu Tang's support, he first walked to the window and glanced at the sky, and then walked back to the chair quickly, and said anxiously, "There is only one plan for today, that is, Lu Yifan can leave the northern frontier before the extraneous branches, otherwise all of us will die without a place to be buried." Speaking of Lu Yifan, Chang Xu stood up from his chair again and complained: "Why hasn't this Lu Yifan come for a long time?
"The governor is too worried, Lu Yifan used to be an errand under Xi Chen, and he is naturally familiar with the Wei Mansion here. Liu Tang comforted.
"That ......"
"Whew!"
Before Chang Xu could speak, a sound of wind suddenly blew in through the window. Chang Xu and Liu Tang haven't been able to reflect yet, Lu Yifan's figure is already standing firmly in front of the two, so frightened that Chang Xu almost didn't turn his back.
"It's been a long wait. Lu Yifan opened his mouth and said, "Without further ado, Governor Chang will also take Lu to the teleportation array!"
"Okay, you come with me!" Chang Xu didn't talk nonsense, and walked towards the outside of the hall with Liu Tang's support, Chang Xu carefully opened the door and led Lu Yifan out of the inner hall, the guards in the courtyard have been all transferred by Chang Xu, and the inner courtyard is quiet tonight, and there is darkness everywhere that you can't see your fingers. Chang Xu turned around and whispered to Lu Yifan: "Sect Master Lu can be true to his word, the old man let you go today, you must not harm the old man." If you leave today, you will never be found again. ”
"Chang Dudu, rest assured, as long as you remember what you said and stop embarrassing the Liu family brothers and sisters, I will naturally not embarrass you. Lu Yifan nodded and said, "I, Lu Yifan, are true to my word and do what I say!"
"Governor Chang Xu is really worried, since Sect Master Lu has already opened the golden mouth and promised you, what else do you have to worry about?"
Suddenly, a hearty laugh suddenly came from mid-air, and then Lu Yifan only heard a soft sound of "whoosh" at the end of the sky, and in an instant, the dim night sky was illuminated red by a meteor arrow. And as the meteor sword slashed from the top of the three of them, hundreds of archers appeared on the roofs around them in an instant, and these people drew their bows and arrows and aimed them all at Lu Yifan and the three of them in the inner courtyard. Then the locked gate of the inner courtyard was kicked open by brute force, and countless sergeants rushed in with torches and swords, and in the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth around Lu Yifan and the three of them were surrounded by the sergeants of the Northern Xinjiang Battalion.
The dark courtyard was as bright as day with torches at the moment, looking at the hundreds of sergeants in armor and knives around them, the faces of Chang Xu and Liu Tang were already difficult to see, while Lu Yifan squinted his eyes and scanned the surroundings, his face was as indifferent and calm as ever.
"This is what you arranged?" Lu Yifan asked suspiciously.
"Of course not. Chang Xu was ashamed and annoyed at the moment, an old face no longer knew where to put it, his border guard mansion was unknowingly occupied by the Northern Xinjiang battalion, and now he couldn't find a crack to get into, "How could I harm myself." ”
"They are the soldiers and horses of the Northern Xinjiang battalion. Liu Tang sighed with a sad face, "The person who spoke just now should be the general of the Northern Xinjiang Battalion, Cheng Yi." It seems that Liu Er, the rabbit cub, is really ......"
"Wait a minute!" Lu Yifan abruptly interrupted Liu Tang's words, he stared at Liu Tang with a frown, and asked word by word, "What did you just say about the general of the Northern Xinjiang Battalion?"
"Cheng Yi!" Liu Tang repeated with a blank expression, "Cheng Yi, the general of the Northern Xinjiang Army who succeeded General Han Cheng, Cheng Yi, who is younger than General Han Cheng, what's the matter?
Cheng Yi ...... Cheng Yi ......" Lu Yifan's mouth silently repeated this familiar and unfamiliar name, and the scenes of his past in the Holy Soul Academy kept flashing in his mind, "Could it be that this Cheng Yi is ......?"
"Sect Master Lu doesn't need to guess, this Cheng Yi is the other Cheng Yi, the Holy Soul Academy has been separated for ten years, it's rare that Sect Master Lu can still remember it! haha......"
The words gradually fell, and the group of sergeants crowded at the gate of the courtyard suddenly separated a passage, and then saw Cheng Yi, who had a sneering face, walking forward with Leng Wu with graceful steps, and the nervous Liu Er followed behind them leisurely. This face instantly evoked Lu Yifan's memories, this person was the Cheng Yi who had been tricky and slippery with him in the Heavenly Grace Competition, and was aggressive in the Holy Soul Academy. The proud son of the heavens of the White Tiger Academy of the Holy Soul Academy, the founder of the Yimen after the Qingmen of the White Tiger Academy, Cheng Yi.
Ten years later, Lu Yifan has long forgotten this person in his memory, but he never thought that he would see him again in such an environment today. Some people will become friends after experiencing the passage of time, just like Lu Yifan, Qin Qingyu, and Chu Ding. But there are also some people, no matter how long they have disappeared, as long as they meet, the opponent is still the opponent, and everything is the same as before, and it has not changed.
Lu Yifan stared closely at Cheng Yi in armor, and said lightly: "I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for many years, but now you have become a general of Northern Xinjiang with heavy troops." ”
"I can't imagine that you Lu Yifan can reach an insurmountable high position over the years, and then quickly fall and become today's lost dog. Cheng Yi smiled undeniably, "What Dean Qiu Ming said back then was true, the Holy Soul Academy was indeed full of talents, and the people who came out of there were all people with great achievements. ”
"These people can't help me. Lu Yifan said softly, "You can't either." Instead of killing me in vain, let me go. ”
Lu Yifan's words made Cheng Yi stunned at first, and then he suddenly laughed out loud, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, he couldn't stand up with his waist, and he laughed so much that he even had to rely on the support of Leng Wu next to him to stand up, Cheng Yi stretched out his hand and pointed at Lu Yifan, and said with a smile: "Lu Yifan, I heard you right, right?
"The general heard it right, Lu Yifan is indeed begging you to ......"
"Smack!"
didn't wait for Liu Er's flattering words to finish, but Cheng Yi suddenly slapped Liu Er with his backhand, and after beating Liu Er in a circle, he fell to the ground with a "bang", and his head buzzed for a long time and he couldn't reflect what was going on.
"What identity do you dare to talk to Lu Yifan?" Cheng Yi glared at Liu Er with disdain on his face, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Er, while turning his head to look at Lu Yifan, and said with a smile, "Do you know who betrayed you? It's this kid, he made a special trip to the camp in Northern Xinjiang to tell me your news, without him, maybe you would have left Northern Xinjiang unconsciously now." ”
Liu Tang was sad and hateful to Liu Er, and opened his mouth to scold: "Second son, you beast who eats inside and out, you want to push me to death!"
"Uncle Tang, it was you who were afraid of Lu Yifan first, not me who pushed you to die. Liu Er quibbled, "We are soldiers, he Lu Yifan is a thief, where is the reason why soldiers don't catch or kill thieves when ......they see them?"
"You know you're a northern guard, and you ought to be loyal to Pontus, but you're ...... You don't ......" Chang Xu couldn't go on halfway through his words, at this moment Cheng Yi's eyes looking at him made Chang Xu's heart tremble, his brain was running rapidly, and he hurriedly said to Cheng Yi, "General Cheng, you came just in time, in fact, I was about to ......"
"I know!" Cheng Yi continued, "You're trying to catch Lu Yifan by all means, aren't you? Because you're old and fit, you can't fight hard with Lu Yifan, so you're trying to maneuver around in an attempt to outwit you, right?"
"General Cheng really has a pair of discerning eyes, and he can see the whole thing at a glance. Chang Xu got off the donkey and hurriedly nodded in response, "In fact, it was Liu Tang who betrayed the governor of Bendu first, which caught the governor of Bendu off guard and was difficult to deal with for a while. ”
Liu Tang never expected that Chang Xu would put all the blame on him when he was in danger, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "Dudu, how can you treat me like this? How can you ......?"
"You talk less nonsense. Chang Xu didn't give Liu Tang a chance to speak, at this moment, he relied on Cheng Yi and the Northern Xinjiang camp to be overwhelming, and his momentum gradually became arrogant, pointing at Liu Tang's nose and scolding, "If you hadn't deceived me into going to Shijia Village, how would I have been threatened by Lu Yifan, a thief? General Cheng, what the Governor of Bendu said is true, otherwise I will not die a good death, I don't believe you ask Liu Er!" Chang Xu squeezed his eyes desperately towards Liu Er, Liu Er first looked at Chang Xu who was winking at him in confusion, he didn't understand that it was obviously the Northern Xinjiang camp that he took the initiative to go, why did he become an order to act again at this time? But Liu Er was not a fool, he quickly reacted, and hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Yes, it is true that the Governor ordered me to kill my relatives and kill the traitors. The Governor also promised me that he would take credit for this matter, and that he would make me the banner master of the Border Guard Mansion after the matter was completed. Isn't it, the Governor?"
Liu Er was clever enough to ask for a reward, Chang Xurao was dissatisfied in his heart, and he didn't dare to disobey at this moment, so he could only go along with it, nodding his head and saying: "Yes, Liu Er, you have done a good job, from today onwards you will be the banner master of my Border Guard Mansion." In the future, you must faithfully assist the governor of Bentu and cooperate with General Cheng to govern the northern frontier. ”
"The villain obeys orders!" Liu Er was ecstatic when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed to Chang Xu again and again.
"Two despicable villains, shameless people. Lu Yifan looked at Liu Er and Chang Xu with contempt as they sang and acted, they thought that they were in a hurry to hide from the world, but Cheng Yi was not a fool, how could such a clumsy acting skill deceive Cheng Yi? ”
"That's good!" Chang Xu saw that things were turning around, and hurriedly agreed, "Where is my northern guard?
"Chang Xu, you actually pushed me into the fire pit for self-preservation, you don't have to forget that your confession is still on Sect Master Lu......"
"Liu Tang, don't threaten me!" Chang Xu sneered and leaned over to Liu Tang's side, and laughed in a low voice, "Today, Lu Yifan can't fly with wings, as long as he dies in my side of the Wei Mansion, am I still afraid that the confession will fly to Jinling City by himself?" Also, you'd better admit everything obediently, so that the governor of Pontus can still treat your children well, if not...... Hmph, you know the consequences!" After saying that, Chang Xu turned away suddenly, pointed at Liu Tang and scolded: "I don't know what to say nonsense." Liu Tang, you will kill yourself if you do too much injustice, tonight is the death of your dog thief, you know each other with a knife, and the governor of Pontus can still be regarded as a man. ”
"If you want me to die, then you old thing don't want to live!" Liu Tang, who was angry, endured the fear in his heart, and suddenly pulled the skinny Chang Xu with a hand, and the cold steel knife was also stuck on Chang Xu's neck, so frightened that Chang Xu only felt that his crotch was wet, and he peed out without a pittle. Chang Xu screamed like a pig: "Liu Tang, what do you want to do? What do you want to do?"
"What are you doing? I can't get out alive today anyway, so it's better to drag you and die together." Liu Tang roared like crazy with red eyes, "Old thing, if you want to harm my daughter, I will kill you first today." I see which of you still dares to move, if you dare to come closer, I will kill him first!" Liu Tang tried to blackmail Chang Xu in exchange for his own life.
"General Cheng save me! General Cheng save me!" Chang Xu saw Liu Tang go crazy, and hurriedly turned his pleading gaze to Cheng Yi, who was always standing motionless, he thought that Cheng Yi would save his life with the feelings of his colleagues, but he never expected Cheng Yi to reply: "If the governor of Chang is killed by traitors tonight, it will be a great misfortune in the northern Xinjiang." But please rest assured, I will definitely tell His Majesty the Emperor the truth about tonight's events, bury Chang Dudu, and add officials to the descendants of Chang Dudu!"
