Chapter 19: Negative Spirit
It was precisely because of this that on the balance in Lu Yu's heart, the Emperor's Mind Technique immediately gained the upper hand, so Lu Yu suddenly said coldly after a while:
"The whole of the Snake Swallowing Army is a meritorious man, throwing his head for the country, spilling blood, even if there is any mistake, it is not a crime to death! Not to mention that the army has its own rules, even if it is to be killed, it should be punished in a canonical manner, and the sentence should be pronounced in public, otherwise, what should the rules and regulations of the army do? How can you serve the people?"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Xiahou Ye was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked at Lin Fengjin with a vengeful and provocative look, but Lin Fengjin's expression on his face did not change, and it still looked faint, but his heart was as cold as the ashes of the night.
But I listened to Lu Yu and then said coldly:
"Manager Lin, I will not pursue your crime of failure to investigate, but the two heroes who served the country died here, and they always have to give a clear explanation!"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Lin Fengjin couldn't bear it anymore, what does it mean to give an explanation? That is, he has to pay for his life!
My guards followed me all the way to come here, out of loyalty to me, they gave you the Lu family their lives, doing the work of a watchdog, suffering and tired no less than others, and the same was also a bloody sacrifice in battle, such dedication and devotion to duty, in exchange for the end of the fate?
Don't talk about this, I just heard that Northern Qi was in trouble, and immediately returned thousands of miles away, you Lu Yu called, I was ordered to stay up all night for you, and what I got was such an injustice?
At this time, there was silence in the military tent, and many ill-intentioned eyes were staring at Lin Fengjin, especially Xiahou Ye's hateful and crazy eyes.
Lin Fengjin took a deep breath at this time, then raised his head and looked at Lu Yu deeply.
As soon as he came into contact with Lin Fengjin's eyes, Lu Yu suddenly chuckled in his heart, knowing that most of the temptation he had just made was a mess. Lin Fengjin's eyes were calm and profound, as if it was the sea before the storm, and after touching it, it gave people a very depressed feeling, and it seemed to explode at any time!
Immediately afterwards, Lin Fengjin said word by word:
"Although the murderer is the minister's guard, but he ordered the night patrol, if there is any abnormal movement, it is the minister who kills him, so there is a wronged head, and the debtor has the owner. Even if I want to give an explanation, I will give it! In the final analysis, it is also because I do not understand the rules and regulations of military affairs, and I arbitrarily regard such an irrelevant place as a baggage camp as a forbidden place!"
Hearing Lin Fengjin's last sentence, the faces of the generals present suddenly felt a little unbearable, only Xiahou Ye snorted coldly and said:
"It's good that you know. ”
Lin Fengjin didn't look at him, knelt on one knee, took off his official robe and hat, and said very simply:
"In that case. The minister was also shameless in staying in the position of the head of the march, and retired. ”
Lu Yu was both angry and annoyed in his heart at this time, and suddenly said with a gloomy face:
"Do you think you're just going to get away with it?"
In fact, Lu Yu said the original meaning of this sentence. I still think that Lin Fengjin is a meritorious man, if he leaves like this, some people will inevitably say that he is not rewarded and punished, and at the same time. Lu Yu himself also felt a little guilty, but he couldn't hold it on his face, and there was a little bit of reluctance for Lin Fengjin to leave.
And Lu Yu was also very angry in his heart. I feel that Lin Fengjin doesn't give himself face, because the current mainstream concept is thunder and rain and dew, all of which are Jun's grace, and it is really nothing to be wronged by the king. And Lu Yu thinks that he is not very good to you, I will let you give an explanation, if you don't want to kill your subordinates, you have to give me a step down, for example, you promise to come down on the surface, and then kill two prisoners casually to make up the number, if you really can't do it, you can't just say that the minister must go back and punish him well, you are so hard to come back, how can you step down?
If it is in the court of the Northern Qi Dynasty at this time, then naturally there are those old fritters in the officialdom who are good at observing words and emotions to come out to play a round, for example, the seniors in the Donglin Party immediately stood up and scolded Lin Fengjin for two sentences, saying that the monarch lost his manners, and he didn't know how thick the sky was, so that Lin Fengjin left, and after a few days, the anger of both parties disappeared, and then persuaded Lin Fengjin to make a painless plea of guilt, which was naturally a big thing and a small matter.
But now these people in the military tent have no friendship with Lin Fengjin, where will they come to this troubled water, they are all holding their breath and not even daring to let go of a fart, so quiet that they can even hear a needle falling.
Lin Fengjin was also full of resentment at this time, after listening to Lu Yu's words, the blood in his heart surged, and he actually pulled out the "King of Teeth" with his backhand, and wiped it on his left hand, and suddenly blood spurted out, Lin Fengjin's left little finger and ring finger immediately fell to the ground, and the blood stained a large piece of the carpet red, and then Lin Fengjin was in a stirring mood, and asked rhetorically word by word:
"Dare to ask your lordship! I ask myself if I have worked hard these days, at least I have done my best and done things honestly, it is because I am too practical and serious in doing things, which has offended all the meritorious ministers, is this enough?"
Lu Yu also didn't expect Lin Fengjin to be angry, and he actually hurt himself, and for a while, he couldn't find anything to say at all! Lin Fengjin only felt very desolate in his heart at this time, and a sense of self-harm filled his heart, he looked up to the sky and laughed miserably, turned around and walked outside.
At this time, Xiahou Ye hadn't seen the trick yet, he just thought that he had the upper hand in the whole way, and he was about to step forward and beat the water dog, so he immediately stood up and blocked Lin Fengjin, and said with a smile:
"Who are you scaring about? If you chop off two fingers, you want to exchange two lives? Grandpa, I've chopped off more hands in my life than you've ever seen! You're not the head of the camp now, where are you going?"
Lin Fengjin Huo Ran raised his head, and directly hit it with a head hammer, only to hear that the bridge of Xiahou Ye's nose suddenly made a crisp sound, I don't know how many pieces it broke into, and then Xiahou Ye covered his nose in embarrassment, and forcibly held back the severe pain and dizziness, feeling backwards, he was already grabbed by Lin Fengjin by the hair, and a knee hit the internal organs in his belly were turning upside down.
Xiahou Ye had been partying and feasting before, and immediately couldn't help but vomit, vomiting all the things he ate, and then was slightly hooked by Lin Fengjin, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
Lin Fengjin stepped on his face with the cold soles of his shoes and sneered:
"You shit look worthy of being called a famous general, can you really meet on the battlefield. A hundred of your miscellaneous pieces won't be enough for me to kill!"
After finishing speaking, Lin Fengjin walked away!
Lin Fengjin left in a bad mood, how could Lu Yu feel comfortable in his heart again? He blushed his face, and he also felt that there was nowhere to vent the anger in his heart, and his whole body was trembling slightly, seeing that Lin Fengjin had chopped off his two fingers ruthlessly, and thought that even if Lin Fengjin did have many doubts, he really deserved the eight words of dedication and solidity in doing things.
Although Lin Fengjin's behavior at this time can already be said to be quite presumptuous. It's good that Lu Yu has been the monarch for so long, and he already has a sense of reason, knowing that even if he says one more word now, if he doesn't do it well, the contradiction will continue to intensify to the point where he can't be cleaned up, so he actually endured this breath alive.
There were two or three relatively old snake swallowing army generals present who were secretly complaining in their hearts, and their hearts said that Lao Tzu was also blinded by lard today, and he came to join in the fun, this Chief Lin seemed to obviously have a very delicate relationship with the king, and even in such a situation, he could still go away with the king. Therefore, it can be seen that the king is actually extremely kind to him! Such a person is to put it bluntly, if he can't be killed with a stick, then it is inevitable that he will soar, and there is no benefit at all in being involved in this troubled water. It's really unwise to get into a mess.
At this time, there are still people who can't understand the current style, but Yeba, a general who is good friends with Xiahou Ye, feels that Lu Yu's endurance has reached the limit, and this is the time to add fire. It is a tentative way that can't help but stand up and speak solemnly:
"Your Majesty! This person is so frustrated that he actually speaks wildly in this imperial tent and wantonly beats the general. It's unreasonable, it's all unreasonable."
As long as Lu Yu nods his head, should the unlawless person be arrested first? Regardless of whether Lu Yu has murderous intent or not, this general can casually find dozens of henchmen to come out, and naturally he can do something when he asks Ying to take people, and finally bring back the news that the other party is weak and stubborn, resists arrest and escapes in fear of crime, and as a result, he "misses" and kills.
Or even if he doesn't do anything, after being caught in the encirclement of this army, a criminal prisoner has to travel thousands of miles back to Yedu, during which there are many pairs of malicious eyes looking at him, and it is normal for him to die of a sudden "violent illness".
However, before the general finished speaking, he saw Lu Yu's bloodshot eyes looking at him coldly, and he was immediately silent, Lu Yu was also angry in his heart at this time, he just wanted to knock Lin Fengjin, how did he make things so out of control?
These bastards are even more bold, listening to their tone, they have actually begun to exclude dissidents and attack Lin Fengjing? This kind of thinking has completely crossed the line, beyond Lu Yu's bottom line, and there must be a fight between courtiers, but in this way, the act of framing at every turn, and putting the other party to death will seriously affect the rise and fall of national strength, such a person can only be described as having improper intentions, and cannot stand above the court!
Therefore, Lu Yu immediately said coldly word by word:
"Get out!"
That Yeba was already thinking about how to kill Lin Fengjin without a trace, and when he heard Lu Yu come to such a sentence, he was immediately stunned and didn't come back to his senses. There is a saying called misfortune comes from the mouth, and he doesn't know that because he just interjected and said one more sentence, the originally good career has fallen and disappeared.
And Lu Yu saw that the generals in front of him were still standing here in a daze, and his heart was even more irritable and angry, and he couldn't help but pat the table in front of him, and roared angrily:
"Get out of here!"
This statement can be said to be very clear, seeing Lu Yu's sudden anger, these generals were suddenly silent and retreated one after another!
After a long while, Lu Yu felt that the flames in his chest seemed to be extinguished, but he still felt extremely hot, only felt that his temples jumped suddenly, since he was integrated with the artifact snake swallowing human weapon, Lu Yu's personality was inevitably greatly affected, and he became very irritable and irritable, and he was better in the past few years, and even drew his sword to kill people at every turn in previous years. In addition, the rest of the people are fueling the troubles, and there is even a reputation of "obedient", which is also the reason why the old monarch's opinion of Lu Yu has not been very good before.
Fortunately, at this time, the waiter next to Lu Yu knew about him, and brought a pot of honey water with ice, Lu Yu drank three cups in a row, and then realized that the fire in his heart had been extinguished, and at this time, someone had already opened the curtain of the big tent, half-knelt on the ground and said:
"Your Majesty, Manager Lin put all kinds of accounts on the table and directly called the deputy to hand them over. And then he didn't take anything with him, and rode away with his escort empty-handed, did he want to intercept it?"
The muscles on Lu Yu's face twitched, and he raised his hand, and the attendant looked at his hand intently, waiting for the moment when he waved it down, and then went down to give the order to be intercepted, but Lu Yu's hand froze in the air. In the end, he still swung it, and then said tiredly:
"Forget it, let him go. ”
At this time, after Lu Yu calmed down, he also knew that his previous temptation had been a little too much. Whether it is the time, place and entry point are absolutely wrong, if the previous test location is changed to the main hall of Yedu, then all the scholars and servants are human spirits. Naturally, someone will come out and make peace with the mud at the right time to avoid the intensification of the conflict, and Lu Yu will certainly be able to do it with ease.
Meantime. The entry point he was looking for was also wrong, and he actually asked Lin Fengjin to hand over his cronies to give an explanation, if Lin Fengjin really did this, who else would follow him in the future? To put it bluntly, if he handed over his courtiers as scapegoats because of external pressure, then it is estimated that the destruction of the Northern Qi Dynasty will not be far away, and it is also a violation of his own principles of life.
"Let's go, it's good for both sides to get out of the buffer. Lu Yu thought like this: "In short, Lin Fengjin's family, the business is in Yedu, and it can't fly out of the palm of my hand, and the future is long, and there is a chance to put a dragon head on his wild horse!"
At this time, the weather is hot again, the clouds in the sky are densely piled up quite thickly, even if there is occasionally a trace of wind blowing, it feels as if it is struggling in the paste, as long as people move slightly, it is sweating like pulp, and it should be another round of rain is coming, if this rain comes two or three days earlier, then for the Tang Army, which is dominated by the infantry army, it really has a feeling of being in a desperate situation.
But there are no ifs!
Lu Yu let out a long breath and walked outside the big tent, but a very sharp wind blew in front of him, sweeping away the sweltering heat, and his whole body was extremely cool and comfortable! As soon as Lu Yu thought of the previous battle of annihilation, which would inevitably cause a sensation in the world, his originally somewhat depressed mood returned to a good state, and he couldn't help but show a sneer from the corner of his lips, and said to himself:
"Even God is helping me, how can Zhongtanger and other clowns who jump off the beam be undefeated?"
At this time, Lu Yu thought of Lin Fengjin who hung up the crown and left, if this rain fell, it was estimated that he would suffer a lot, he sighed slightly, and after calming down, he couldn't help but feel some apologies in his heart, after all, although the two were young, their friendship was almost ten years, and there were two or three times to face the situation of life and death at the same time, and the loyalty and talent shown in that environment were the most important things for every superior.
However, Lu Yu also felt that the future was long, and he couldn't help but say that Lin Fengjin himself also had some mysteries, so he couldn't blame himself for today's incident, and after returning to Yedu, both sides also calmed down, and it should be about the same at that time, Lu Yu even considered giving the forester a reward to show his attitude and ease the relationship between the monarch and the minister.
After making up his mind in his heart, Lu Yu's mood was also completely recovered, his camp was built on a slope with the most open vision, and he could just see the surrounding camp stretching up and down, coiling for dozens of miles, at this time, in order to celebrate the victory, it was still brightly lit, and even the sound of singing and laughing kept coming.
Witnessing such a situation, Lu Yu also felt high-spirited, he was lonely all his life, his mother died early, not to mention that he had not enjoyed the warmth of his father's love, although his blood was noble, he was almost like a wild wolf struggling in a blizzard, struggling to survive, gambling with his life!
At this time, it can also be said that Lu Yu is the most high-spirited peak in his life, he has reason to believe at this time that this is just the beginning, the Northern Qi Dynasty repelled the Xirong and Tang Dynasty in this battle, and it has been rumored that the world has been coaxed, although the national strength has been damaged, the country's luck, and the people's hearts have turned their backs, but they have all come to the highest peak that has never been seen before, and at the same time, as long as the elite of the two or thirty thousand Tang soldiers who have been determined to surrender are digested, the military strength is about to be raised to a peak realm!
However, Lu Yu couldn't imagine that his farewell to Lin Fengjin today was the eternal secret!!(To be continued......
