Seeing this, the coachman hurriedly jumped down from the carriage and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what's going on?" ”

"Deliberately playing stupid, huh?" A sentry was not polite to the other party at all, and when he went up, he put the knife on his neck: "Say, why do you keep peeping into my Sui army camp." ”

"Is it someone sent by Wang Shichong?"

"Wang Shichong? Master Jun, you misunderstood, we are just ordinary people, because we have admired the Sui Army for a long time, so we came here to pay our respects. ”

The coachman unhurriedly defended according to the words he had thought of before: "It's just that I felt the strength of the Sui army and unconsciously forgot the time, so it has been delayed until now." ”

"Then why did you run away when you saw us?" The sentry didn't believe it at all, and questioned him very harshly.

The coachman smiled helplessly: "When I see you coming, of course I have to run, this is human nature." ”

The sentry was speechless for a moment.

looked at Wu Zhongliang.

Wu Zhongliang didn't speak, but looked into the carriage and said coldly: "There should be another person in the carriage, right?" Don't want to get out soon? ”

In the carriage, it was a little quiet.

After a while, the man did not come out, but stretched out half of the baked cake.

As soon as they saw the moldy baked cake, the sentinels present were all stunned, was this person insulting them? Immediately furious, he forced his way into the carriage and taught the blind thing a lesson.

But at this moment, Wu Zhongliang suddenly shouted: "Stop! ”

"Vice Admiral Wu, what's wrong?" The sentinels paused, and then looked at Wu Zhongliang with a suspicious expression.

Wu Zhongliang's eyes turned around on the baked cake without a trace, and said with a calm expression: "Your Majesty said that we are only targeting Wang Shichong and the people under his command, and we must not harm the people of Luoyang, who dares to disobey Your Majesty's words?" I've just taken a closer look and see that the coachman doesn't look like he's lying, so let them go. ”

"Vice General Wu, I haven't figured it out yet." Several sentries were stunned at the same time.

"How else to figure it out? Do you have to bring people back to the barracks? Then if you find out that the wrong person has been arrested and Your Majesty blames it, who will bear this responsibility, me or you? Wu Zhongliang frowned, his voice with a hint of indifference.

"Okay, my subordinates understand." Several sentinels secretly struggled in their hearts.

As for whether to bring Lu Chu and the coachman back to the barracks, to be honest, they didn't care at all, they just felt a little disappointed, after all, they lost a chance to perform meritorious service.

"Don't worry, the alertness of the few of you is not bad, when I go back, I will mention a few words in the Generalissimo's ear, and it shouldn't be too much of a problem to mention it." Wu Zhongliang said lightly.

The sentinels were immediately overjoyed and thanked Wu Zhongliang again and again.

While speaking, under the leadership of Wu Zhongliang, several people let go of the coachman and Lu Chu, and turned around and walked in the direction of the barracks.

After they gradually disappeared, the coachman's hanging heart was put down, wiped the cold sweat on his face, and said with palpitations: "Lord Lu, we are so lucky, I didn't expect them to continue the investigation." ”

"It's dangerous here, the little one will take you back to Luoyang City."

"Back to Luoyang City? What do you want to do when you go back? Keep staying here. But he didn't want to, Lu Chu vetoed his proposal the next moment.

The coachman was dumbfounded: "Lord Lu, what are you?" ”

"Hehe, the official has found the person he wants to find." Inside the carriage, Lu Chu poked his head out and looked at the direction in which Wu Zhongliang and the others were leaving, his eyes were full of joy.

Just now, when Wu Zhongliang and the others approached, he heard a voice that he hadn't heard for ten years, but it was still very familiar.

It's just that because he didn't dare to be too sure of the identity of the other party, Lu Chu used the half of the moldy baked cake to test it, and the result obtained at this moment undoubtedly made Lu Chu very satisfied.

Judging from the words and deeds of the adjutant general, Lu Chu knew that he was his old acquaintance Wu Zhongliang!

Now although the latter has left temporarily, it is worth affirming that when he gets rid of those sentinels, Wu Zhongliang will definitely go and return.

So, Lu Chu waited patiently in the same place.

An hour later, the deputy general Wu Zhongliang really appeared in Lu Chu's sight.

Waiting for the other party to get closer, Lu Chu immediately jumped out of the carriage and went up to hug Wu Zhongliang: "Good brother, I haven't seen you for ten years, don't come to harm, right?" ”

"Engong, how do you know that I am in the Sui army barracks?" Wu Zhongliang was also very excited to see Lu Chu.

"Well, after the Luoyang defenders who were defeated by you went back, I asked them about the situation of the Sui army, and learned some general information from them, and when I described you, I felt more familiar with it, so I couldn't help but come to you and catch up with you." Lu Chu smiled slightly.

But Wu Zhongliang subconsciously frowned when he heard this: "Engong, how can you still come into contact with the rout?" I remember you weren't a businessman? ”

"Haha, you and I haven't seen each other for ten years, as the so-called vicissitudes of life, the world is changeable, and I am no longer the businessman I was at the beginning."

Lu Chu explained with a smile: "Now I have defected to Wang Shichong and worked for him. ”

"Wang Shichong?" Wu Zhongliang's eyes flickered, and his heart seemed to have mixed feelings, and he muttered: "Then it will be difficult to do this, Da Sui and Wang Shichong are like fire and water......"

Lu Chu raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter, will we break up because of this?" ”

"Naturally not."

Wu Zhongliang took a deep breath: "You know, I am a person who values love and righteousness, and I will never forget the kindness of half a piece of baked cake back then." It's just that the situation in Luoyang is really not optimistic at present, so I advise Engong to make plans early and escape from Luoyang before the city is broken. ”

"Please forgive me for saying bluntly, Wang Shichong is indeed not a master, even if he betrays him, it is not unkind and unjust, it can only be said that this is a move to judge the situation and size up the situation."

"It's as simple as you say."

Lu Chu shook his head, lifted the half of the baked cake, and stared at Wu Zhongliang with a hot gaze: "Ten years ago, you said that as long as you see this half of the baked cake, no matter what I ask, you will agree, you shouldn't have forgotten this matter, right?" ”

"I haven't forgotten, and I don't dare to forget." Wu Zhongliang nodded heavily.

"Very well, I really didn't misread you."

Lu Chu showed a satisfied expression: "I will return this half of the cake to you now, but you have to explain the details of the Sui army for me, and let me know whether they have the ability to attack Luoyang City." ”

"In addition, if we encircle and suppress the Sui army in turn, we will have a few percent chance of victory."

"This ......" Wu Zhongliang's expression changed slightly, and he secretly complained in his heart.

Lu Chu did this, obviously to make him betray Emperor Yang of Sui and betray the Great Sui!
