Chapter 241: Heaven and Earth
Xiao Ti looked at Lu Luoguang not far away again, and said in a deep voice.
"Let's talk."
Lu Luoguang was flustered and looked at him vigilantly: "What do you want to talk about?" Let me first state to you that Tang Pei's death has nothing to do with me, and I didn't kill the person. ”
Xiao Ti: "What do you mean by this that Tang Pei was killed by someone?" ”
Lu Luoguang closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Xiao Ti: "The person who killed him was Du Tao, right?" What is your relationship with Du Tao? Are you accomplices? ”
Lu Luoguang was silent.
Xiao Ti: "You don't think Du Tao will come back to save you out, right?" He doesn't trust you at all, otherwise he wouldn't even tell you where the exit to the secret passage is, he's always on the lookout for you. ”
Lu Luoguang gritted his teeth: "You don't have to sow discord, I am not familiar with Du Tao in the first place." ”
Xiao Ti: "Then why do you still want to help him keep a secret?" ”
Lu Luoguang gritted and denied it: "I have nothing to do with Du Tao at all!" I don't know anything about him! ”
Xiao Ti knew what he was worried about, he was just afraid that after confessing to Du Tao, he would implicate himself.
"I'm giving you a chance to confess and be lenient now, as long as you can be honest and explain everything, I will find a way to help you intercede afterwards."
Lu Xiaoguang didn't believe it: "You can't protect yourself now, why should you promise me?" ”
Xiao Ti said slowly: "Since I dare to follow you to Xiangtai, I naturally have a back hand."
If I don't go back for three days, someone will report the situation here back to Yujing.
Soon after, the emperor would send troops to take over Liaodong County.
When the time comes, you and your family will not be spared. ”
Lu Yaoguang's expression changed.
By now, he has become Du Tao's outcast, and it is impossible for Du Tao to risk coming back to save him, once what happened in Liaodong County is leaked, the Lu family will be the first to be blamed.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Xiaoguang finally made a choice.
"I can tell you everything I know, but I have one condition."
Xiao Ti motioned to him.
Lu Yaoguang: "No matter what kind of fate I end up with, I don't want to implicate my family." ”
Xiao Ti promised, "I will try to save your family's life." ”
Although the king of Langjun has a vicious reputation, what he says always counts, Lu Luoguang took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"Du Tao joined the Crusade four years ago.
He's a very good guy and a clever brain.
Soon after joining the Eastern Expeditionary Army, he became very familiar with the whole army.
Even Tang Pei had a good impression of him, and he once mentioned him to me.
said that he was a manufacturable material, and his future was immeasurable.
Who would have thought that this man was a wolf in sheep's clothing!
After Du Tao got acquainted with the generals in the army, he figured out the character and weakness of each general.
Then he designed to lead those generals into a trap and force those generals to collude with him.
By the time Tang Pei noticed that something was wrong, it was too late.
The trusted generals around him were all controlled by Du Tao.
This is equivalent to putting Tang Pei in the air.
Three years ago, Tang Guixi suddenly disappeared, and Tang Pei said to the outside world that she was going out to play.
But I knew in my heart that Tang Pei should have asked Tang Guixi to send a letter and wanted to ask the court for help.
However, Tang Guixi is gone, and I guess she has encountered an accident nine times out of ten.
After that, Du Tao and Tang Pei tore their faces.
At that time, Chen sent troops to harass the people on the border of Liaodong County, and Tang Pei led his troops to resist and drove Chen Guo's soldiers and horses out of Liaodong County.
It was on that battlefield that Tang Pei was injured, and then he couldn't afford to get sick.
You don't have to think about it to know that Tang Pei's injury must have something to do with Du Tao. ”
King Min couldn't help but speak: "Tang Peiming knew that Du Tao had a problem, why did he personally lead his troops to the expedition at that time?" The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, isn't he afraid of being stabbed from behind? ”
Lu Xiaoguang sighed.
"This is Tang Pei, even if he knows that there is a Longtan tiger's den in front of him, he will not take a step back because of this.
It is precisely because of his principle of not giving an inch that he can guard the borders of the Dayan Dynasty and protect the safety of the people of Liaodong County.
For so many years, Chen Guo has not been given a chance. ”
King Min didn't know for a while whether to scold Tang Pei for being stupid, or to admire Tang Pei's fearless spirit?
Lu Luoguang continued.
Tang Pei was bedridden and his movement was restricted, and Du Tao took over the Eastern Expeditionary Army in name only.
He took the opportunity to kick out all the people who were desperately following Tang Pei, and then replaced them with his own people.
Soon the entire Eastern Crusade Army fell into Du Tao's hands.
Du Tao took the initiative to find me, saying that the military expenses of the Eastern Expeditionary Army were tight, and asked me to find a way to get money.
If I don't agree, he will expose my collusion with local tyrants and wanton annexation of people's land.
I was forced to have no choice but to follow his wishes, raise the taxes in Liaodong County, and then send the overcharged part of the taxes to Du Tao.
Du Tao used that money to sell the generals in the army, and he also made it up to raise military prostitutes, in order to buy people's hearts.
On the one hand, he seized the handle and threatened, and on the other hand, he satisfied the desires of those generals.
With grace and power, he held those people firmly in the palm of his hand. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Luoguang let out a long sigh.
"You guys are too late, now that the Eastern Expeditionary Army has completely belonged to Du Tao, his position in the army is unmatched, unless Tang Pei can survive, no one can shake his position."
King Min was desperate, which meant that even if they could escape the secret passage, they would not be able to escape from Xiangtai.
With 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Eastern Expeditionary Army, it was easy to kill them.
Xiao Ti said: "This is not necessarily. ”
Facing King Min's puzzled gaze, Xiao Ti explained calmly.
"There are 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Du Tao can't firmly control everyone in his hands, he can only control those generals at the upper level, if he wants to mobilize soldiers and horses, he also needs two things - handsome seals and military talismans."
He looked at Lu Luoguang and asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, Du Tao shouldn't have gotten these two things."
Lu Luoguang smiled bitterly, he really deserved to be the king of Langjun, and he immediately grasped the key point of the matter.
"Yes, Du Tao has been looking for the handsome seal and the talisman, but he has not found anything.
Tang Pei didn't have it, neither in the military camp nor in his home.
It was precisely because of these two things that Du Tao did not dare to let Tang Pei die.
In the past three years, he has been hanging Tang Pei's life with decoction, trying to force the whereabouts of the handsome seal and the talisman from his mouth.
Tang Pei bit to death and refused to speak.
The two sides are at a stalemate.
It wasn't until a while ago that Du Tao learned that you were coming.
He knew that the paper couldn't hold the fire, so he simply killed Tang Pei without doing anything.
and laid a net of heaven and earth, intending to kill you all. ”
King Min was angry and afraid: "If King Langjun and I are here, if we go back to the emperor to investigate it, you will not be able to escape death!" ”
