Chapter 85: The Exile

"Okay, it's really a general......"

The man laughed, and when he had laughed enough, he raised his sword and pointed it at him.

"I know that today I will die, but I have been entrusted by men to be faithful. I hope you will see that I will let your wife and children go, and don't pursue my wife and children. ”

Lu Xiaowen bowed his head, he has always had revenge, if it is found out that his wife and children are indeed clean, he is not implicated in this matter...... He will not embarrass them.

When the man saw him nodding, he shouted, "You have to keep your word!" ”

With that, he instantly reversed the direction of the sword in his hand and pierced his chest.

Lu Xiaowen was shocked by the sudden change, and quickly reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to check his injuries.

"Why did you kill yourself?" Lu Xiaowen frowned, and it was clear that he had just agreed to his request.

Xiang Yu was unwilling...... Yu Wujiang killed himself. Ahem," the man's voice was weak, but he could hold on for a while, "I'm not a big hero, but ...... But there is also integrity. ”

Perhaps it was these words that touched Lu Xiaowen's heart, and his brows moved slightly.

Seeing that he was no longer a threat, Lu Xiaowen leaned down and wanted to remove his mask.

The man did not struggle, nor did he speak.

Quietly, with his eyes closed, only the sound of breathing remained.

At the moment when Lu Xiaowen's hand touched his face towel, the man's eyes suddenly opened and exploded, and his right hand pressed under him instantly took out a dagger, and with the last of his strength, it pierced deep into Lu Xiaowen's left chest.

"General Lu, entrusted by people, I ...... the matter of loyalty"

The man really couldn't do it, and he closed his eyes forever when he dropped such a sentence.

It was a deliberate suicide to lure him over, and then he tried his last strength to kill him.

The wound to his left chest was not fatal, but it left a lot of blood, and the dizziness caused him to stagger on his feet.

In the wilderness, he could only simply press the wound tightly with a strip of clean cloth to stop the trickle of blood.

The coachman carried He Shaoguang and the three of them all the way, and after the initial thrill, He Shaoguang also regained some strength.

Getting up from the ground and holding on to the wall of the car, He Shaoguang asked, "Lao Liu, how long will it take to arrive?" ”

The driver did not answer.

He Shaoguang thought that he hadn't heard, and lifted the curtain to ask again.

When she lifted the curtain, she was greeted by a completely unfamiliar sight, not at all the way they had come.

"Are we going back to Zhuangzi?" He Shaoguang had some bad premonitions, swallowed his saliva, and asked him.

"Yes, ma'am."

The coachman is not Lao Liu, who just sent them.

Under the lowered brim of her hat, an unfamiliar face was grinning at her in reply.

"Ah...... Good. He Shaoguang forced himself to calm down and retreated into the carriage.

"Mother, are we almost there? When will Father come to us? Lu Mingzhen's little face was full of worry.

"Mother, you're sweating a lot, I'll wipe it for you."

Lu Mingyan noticed that He Shaoguang was wrong, and by wiping his sweat, he leaned on He Shaoguang's ear and asked softly, "Is it the group of people just now?" ”

He Shaoguang grabbed Lu Mingyan's hand and grabbed him painfully.

She didn't say a word just now, because she saw the imposter's waist, and he grinned with a short blade that glowed with cold light.

If she had screamed, the dagger would have been in her throat right now, right?

"You're going to listen to your mother in a moment, you know?" He Shaoguang's mind was also blank, there was an unknown danger in front of him, and Lu Xiaowen didn't know the safety in the back.

In case he went to Zhuangzi and couldn't find them, He Shaoguang wanted to secretly leave some marks along the road to remind him.

So she secretly lifted the curtain behind the carriage and threw things into the grass on the side of the road, such as hairpins and ornaments, Lu Mingyan and Lu Mingzhen's purses, hair bands, and other recognizable objects.

Every once in a while, he left some traces, hoping he would find them soon.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped.

He Shaoguang, who had been closing his eyes and thinking about countermeasures, suddenly opened his eyes, waiting anxiously for the man's movements, not knowing where this place was.

The curtain was lifted, and the imposter driver, dressed in the clothes of the old driver, squinted at them.

"What are you going to do?"

He Shaoguang raised his head and looked at him levelly, his expression indifferent, making himself look not afraid.

"Of course, it's to find a place to protect your wife and the general's sons and daughters."

The imposter smiled happily: "Don't worry, when General Lu comes over, I will definitely let you go." But before that, please be honest and don't think about running out, or ...... I don't have a long knife. ”

The coachman did not know where to take out a bundle of thick hemp rope, tied the three of them up and down, and lifted them out like a string of sugar gourds.

It's humiliating, but it's important to save your life. He Shaoguang endured the pain and quickly looked around: this place is deserted, surrounded by mountains on three sides, a small ruined temple is built here, the Buddha statue is dilapidated, covered with a thick layer of ash, and it looks like no one has been here for a long time.

There were no fresh offerings in front of the Buddha statues, all the fruit of rotten maggots.

I don't know how this man found this place, so he threw them inside and tied the other end of the rope to the feet of one of the eighteen arhats.

The taste of being stared at by the arhats was uncomfortable, and the man left in a hurry for a while, and Lu Mingzhen couldn't help but cry out loud in fear.

He Shaoguang couldn't use his hands and feet, so he could only wait for her to cry for a while before he approached and comforted her softly: "Zhen girl is not afraid, my brother and mother are here." When my father comes, I can go home. ”

Lu Mingzhen cried for a while, but gradually stopped crying, sobbing and shrunk between Lu Mingyan and He Shaoguang.

Lu Mingzhen blinked: "Can my father find here?" ”

"Uh...... We've left so many clues, we should be able to, right? In fact, she herself is a little unsure, what if Lu Xiaowen can't find it?

"No, my father will come." Lu Mingyan spoke firmly.

He had just heard the man say that when his father came and let them go, it proved that their target was only one father, and they were just bargaining chips.

So, even if the father didn't know they were here, the man would try to lure him over.

He Shaoguang nodded, Lu Mingyan's analysis should be good.

As for who these people really are? Does Lu Xiaowen still have an enemy in Beijing who knows so much about his whereabouts?

I felt like my head was going to explode.

The man soon returned, without giving them much more time to be alone.

Carrying a pile of grass and trees, he walked towards them.

It turned out that he had gone to find some clean grass and spread it on the ground so that it would be easy to rest.

I didn't expect this person's professionalism to be quite high, and he treated hostages so humanely.

He Shaoguang looked up at him and smiled gratefully: "Thank you......"

The man was stunned, he didn't understand why He Shaoguang wanted to thank him, and his hand movements didn't stop.

I saw him take off his straw sandals and go to the mat that had been laid out, touch a tobacco stick, throw it into his mouth and chew it.

He Shaoguang, who thought he was a cushion for the three of them: ......
