Chapter 960: Capsizing
Lu Qiying packed his luggage and prepared to flee, but when he thought of everything he already had and the gloomy future, his intestines were blue with remorse, and he really didn't understand why he was so gullible and participated in the conspiracy to frame the Dragon King.
Things shouldn't have been like this, according to the plan, the Dragon King would hand over the Meng family's property in embarrassment, and he and Xiao Fengchai would go to Loulan Kingdom under the protection of the army together with countless gold and silver, and watch the situation in Biyu City in the eastern part of the Western Regions.
As a result, the trap was dug at his feet.
Ten boxes, compared to the caravan owned by Lu Qiying, is a drop in the bucket, but for a fugitive, it seems too much, he is ruthless, lose more than half, and leave only four, which can be carried by four camels, which can be faster.
Lu Qiying prepared three horses for himself, and in the future, it is estimated that he will have to spend time on horseback, and even then, it will take a certain amount of luck.
The only trusted guy quietly walked in and nodded to the master, indicating that he could go.
A small procession of seven animals entered the dark streets through the back door, and the owner of the largest caravan in Biyu City pulled the camels himself, and anyone who saw this scene would have screamed in surprise.
Lu Qiying turned around and took a look, and sighed in his heart, this is Beicheng, he has only dreamed of living in it for many years, he has spent a lot of money for this house, and he has to give up before he has enjoyed many benefits.
The north city is not the south city, and there are few pedestrians on the street soon after dark, after walking out of the three streets, Lu Qiying feels a little relieved, no one stops him, maybe the dragon king has not yet discovered his betrayal, which gives him a chance to save his life.
The leader of the guards at the East City Gate silently took the small leather bag handed to him by the guy, and checked it, two hundred taels, indicating that the other party was an expert who knew the rules, so he waved his hand and ordered the guards to open the door and let this small team out.
From here to the agreed place, it was probably the most dangerous part of the journey, Lu Qiying rode on his horse, kept urging his men and camels, and even wanted to throw away two more boxes, but he couldn't go to Loulan Country empty-handed, and he had to have silver anywhere.
The Jin Mountain of the Meng Family, although Lu Qiying was full of fear, he couldn't help but fantasize about that pile of illusory wealth, unlike ordinary residents, he had enough reason to suspect that the secret treasures in the old mansion of the Meng Mansion were still fake, and the Dragon King was a smart man, and he would never give up a little benefit for no reason.
Thinking of the young man with a cold face, Lu Qiying's heart trembled, and she glanced around, feeling that there might be a killer sent by the Dragon King hidden in every room.
The house thinned and the clouds dispersed, revealing the stars and moon behind him, and Lu Qiying was surprised to find that the night could be so bright, when he was the shopkeeper of the tavern, he worked almost every day and stayed up all night, but he rarely went out of the city after dark.
The guy who led the way in front turned around and whispered, "It's here, it's ahead." ”
The rouge forest crouched in front of him like a giant beast, with bad intentions, Lu Qiying had a sudden suspicion in his heart, he would rather walk in the wilderness than enter the dark woodland, "You go over and see if they have arrived." ”
"They" are Xiao Fengchai and the Central Plains, although Pang Jing did not act according to the plan, Lu Qiying had no choice and still had to rely on his protection.
The men slapped their horses and drove to the rouge forest, the sound of hooves was so rapid that it was terrifying, but the camels were not in a hurry, and were glad to stop for a while to rest and chew quietly.
A quarter of an hour later, the man rode back, "It's all here, and I'm waiting for you." ”
Lu Qiying's trust had been exhausted, and he said, "Don't wait, let them come out, let's go, Loulan Kingdom is in the east, not in the woodland." ”
"Well, Mrs. Xiao invited the master to go in, saying that she would discuss it before leaving. ”
"The matter has come to this, what is there to discuss?" Lu Qiying looked at his man, it was a young face, he still remembered the way this face used to be, dazed and humble, if it weren't for his care, it would have rotted in the ditch of Nancheng.
"This is what Mrs. Xiao meant, the master should go over, and I will take care of the livestock. The man's voice was as calm as usual, as if he had not noticed the suspicion of his master.
"Alas, I treat you well. Lu Qiying said, and in an instant, she felt that the stars and moon had become dim.
The guy was stunned for a while, "The Dragon King treats you well." With that, he turned his horse and drove towards the woodland, shouting loudly: "Lu Qiying wants to escape, Lu Qiying wants to escape!"
Lu Qiying sighed again, he wanted to escape, but where else could he escape? The people of the Central Plains just used him to persuade Meng Mingshu to surrender, and now he is worthless.
With such an obvious fact, Lu Qiying wondered why she hadn't thought of it earlier.
There was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and Lu Qiying turned around and saw a small group of people and horses, which stopped far away, as if observing the situation here.
Lu Qiying's heart moved, these people were the soldiers of the Central Plains, he had not been completely abandoned by Pang Jing, "I'm ......" he shouted loudly, and he was immediately interrupted.
A low horn sounded, which lasted for a short time, and those who slept in the distance would think that their ears were ringing even if they heard it, but for the soldiers of the Central Plains, it had a clear meaning, and they immediately turned their horses' heads and left the same way.
Lu Qiying was impulsive and wanted to catch up with him, but his limbs were like being hit by a spell, and he couldn't move until the Central Plains soldiers disappeared, and he finally accepted his fate.
Another small group of men galloped from the Rouge Forest, led by a young swordsman.
Lu Qiying recognized Chu Nanping, "Xiao Fengchai ** me?"
Chu Nanping did not speak.
Lu Qiying looked at his four boxes, and suddenly felt that he was really stupid, "Xiao Chu, tell the Dragon King for me, Xiao Fengchai is the mastermind, I ...... I'm sorry for him. ”
"Say it yourself. Chu Nanping's answer gave Lu Qiying a glimmer of hope.
Xiao Fengchai, who was supposed to appear in the Rouge Forest, was still at home in Beicheng, and as soon as the news came that Duan Zihua, an old family member of the Meng Mansion, had changed his words to accuse her master, she knew that she had been deceived, and immediately gave up her escape plan and waited for the arrival of the Dragon King.
Liuren Lane Oiran, a man treats her as a rare plaything, she regards a man as a ladder, steps on it, never looks back, but she didn't expect to be deceived by a man in the end.
When Pang Jing frequently met with all kinds of people in Biyu City, he did not ignore Xiao Fengchai, and he came to the door in person, and he did not hesitate to praise the words, which was more straightforward than those thieves from the Western Regions who came to admire him, but the vocabulary was more refined.
Xiao Fengchai was used to hearing men's praise, of course she would not be fluttering because of a Central Plains nobleman, she received the guests politely, and then reported the whole process to the Dragon King word for word.
Then the lobbyist came to the door, knocking on the side, wanting to use the love of the Lord Protector and the strength of the Central Plains to persuade the Dragon King to arrange an extra way to retreat, Xiao Fengchai was still polite, but his heart was not shaken at all.
The lobbyist probably also saw this, so he resorted to a trump card - a gold brick of the Meng family, "The Dragon King has been lying to you and everyone, he has not grabbed the property of the Meng family at all, all the gold and silver are now in the hands of the Central Plains people, think about it, once the news comes out, people who ask for debts will flock to it, and the Dragon King can repay the debt, but you will be discredited." The most important thing is that Meng Er has nothing, and you have nothing. ”
Xiao Fengchai follows a simplest principle, she is loyal to whoever the money is, so she was tempted, and the process of persuasion was still reported to the Dragon King, but there was no mention of the gold bricks.
Pang Jing came to the door again, behaving like most men, obsessing about the most famous woman in Liuren Lane, using his position to get close, Xiao Fengchai reported to the Dragon King like this, in fact, there was no content in that meeting, but a straightforward negotiation......
Xiao Fengchai asked for 20% of the Meng family's wealth, and the conditions were the same as what she had mentioned to the Dragon King, Pang Jing agreed, and gave her a task to persuade Meng Mingshu to accuse the Dragon King.
Xiao Fengchai transferred this tricky task to Lu Qiying, concealed the important fact of who owned the property, and made up another set of arguments, which was easy for her.
Lu Qiying has long been fascinated by Xiao Fengchai, and the thing he has always deeply regretted is that when he was developed, the most famous ** in Biyu City washed his hands in a golden basin, and in the face of **, he knelt down at the speed of a young man.
"That's it. She said, her expression was calm and she didn't hide it, "It's because I'm too confident to think that there is no uncontrollable man in the world, and as a result, I stumbled here in the Central Plains." ”
Xu Xiaoyi swallowed his saliva, when he was a child, Xiao Fengchai had already become famous, and after so many years, she was still charming, "Dragon King, Dragon King has never been confused by you." He said, to hide the agitation in his heart.
"The Dragon King is not a man. Xiao Fengchai said, looking a little dazed, as if caught in a memory.
Xu Xiaoyi thought that he was a veteran of Fengyue, and suddenly understood where Xiao Fengchai's attraction was, not beauty, nor fame, but the attitude that was not far away, which made men feel that she was high, but within reach, at this moment, he had this feeling: as long as he paid a little price, he could get this seemingly impossible woman.
But he finally kept his senses, knowing that the so-called "little price" was not small at all, and that meant betraying the Dragon King.
Thinking that he was being treated as a man by Xiao Fengchai, Xu Xiaoyi couldn't help but feel a little proud, his eyes were dull, and he didn't know what to say.
Shangguan Fei felt that he had been sent for this reason, and if he hadn't been by his side to supervise, the Dragon King's intelligence director would probably have jumped like a dog begging for pleasure.
The woman is really a curse, Shangguan Fei felt proud of his preference for the first time, and the curse water was ineffective for him.
"Isn't the Dragon King a man?" Shangguan Fei said sarcastically, he could see some facts clearly, but the so-called smart people had black eyes, "Mrs. Xiao, your vision is too bad, Pang Jing is not a man, no, he is a man, a real man, but he follows me all the way, and he likes men." Dragon King, hehe, he's just too high-minded to look down on you. ”
Xu Xiaoyi was fighting fiercely in his heart, turning a deaf ear to Shangguan Fei's words, but Xiao Fengchai was shocked, and instantly understood everything, it turned out that he was not only fooled, but also capsized in the gutter, "I want to see the Dragon King, there are some things I only say to him." "She's going to hold on to a life-saving straw.
