"Six thousand taels? It's not a small gesture?" Chu Wushuang couldn't help but say, but the expression on his face looked thoughtful. There are only a handful of people in Chudu who can make such a generous move.
Zhaolin glanced at him, nodded and said: "Indeed, we have been bandits all our lives. This is the first time we have encountered this deal of six thousand taels. If it succeeds, it can be said to be enough for us brothers to last a lifetime.
Yes. So our brothers were moved on the spot. After asking about the matter, we found out that they wanted us to set up a checkpoint in Wangyanggang, a place thousands of miles away from the capital of Chu, in Dading City. They said that there would be a team then.
The soldiers of the imperial court passed by. These people suffered a defeat and brought shame to the imperial court. Some people couldn't see it and wanted to get rid of them. At that time, we felt that something was wrong, but the person said that it was the idea of the people above and something happened.
, it's none of our business, as long as we deal with all these people, we can get the reward." When Zhaolin said this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and hammered his chest with his hands, looking extremely sad. "But,
How do we know that this is actually a trap set by others? They are just making us a scapegoat and sending us to the edge of a knife?"
When Zhaolin said this, he paused for a moment, and Lingxi and Chu Wushuang couldn't help but frown. Of course they knew very well at this time, who was the target of their interception this time? A vicious plot to kill with a borrowed knife, so good
A serial strategy.
If the interception and killing is successful, all the blame can be put on these rogue bandits in Dongbo Mountain, and the envoy can reap the benefits. If it fails, these rogue bandits will bear all the responsibility. It just so happens that with the help of the imperial court,
Eradicate this cancer at once.
Seeing that both of them had pensive expressions, Zhaolin continued: "You don't know, the imperial court sends people to encircle and suppress us every year, which makes it impossible for us to survive. We are also forced to have no choice? Since they don't
Even if they give us a way to survive, we won't let them live a good life. We heard that they were the defeated soldiers who came down from the battlefield, and we didn't take it seriously. We thought that if we make this last deal, we can go home.
Farming and living a normal life. So I just risked my life...Who would have thought?...Who would have thought that things are not like this at all."
Xiaobai also came back at this time. He happened to hear the exciting part and couldn't help but ask aloud: "Then what is this thing about?" In fact, he also knew the truth, but he was just randomly joining in the fun.
"Who would have thought that those people were not the defeated generals at all. They were the Feng family troops who had won the battle. Moreover, when we got down there, we also saw the serial number with the flag of His Highness the Third Highness. When we saw it at that time, we were blind.
Okay. This is the army led by the current Third Highness. Aren’t we plucking the hair out of a tiger? Thinking of this, he screamed that he had been fooled and was about to turn around. He didn’t want to rush down a group of people from the mountain. They were indiscriminate.
Then we were violently beaten. The large stone rollers and countless logs that had been buried on the mountain were smashed down on the spot. More than half of us were killed or injured. Later, although we resisted desperately, more than a thousand people were still dead or injured. So,
"Of many people, only I and a few brothers escaped. The rest were all captured alive." After Zhaolin finished speaking, his whole body trembled because of fear. He must have thought at this time.
The horrific scene at that time still left some lingering fear in his heart. It was a nightmare. Thinking of the scene where his head was beaten into minced meat and bloody and bloody, he would be frightened awake even at night.
"Hmph, the so-called self-inflicted evil is your own fault, you are also bringing it upon yourself? What's more, the person you offended this time is His Highness the Third Highness, the people of the Feng Family Army, aren't you looking for death?" Lingxi Feng's eyes were filled with anger, and there was a look of because on his face.
There was a faint red cloud in her excitement, which made her lips red and teeth white, making her extremely beautiful.
At this time, she had her hands behind her back, a calm and composed posture, and the cold expression on her face made people a little scared. And her calm and thoughtful expression at this time was not that of a teenage girl at all.
expression.
When ordinary girls heard such a scene, they would have hid behind the young man, but she did not. Instead, she ridiculed Zhaolin.
Zhaolin couldn't help but show a bitter face and said: "You two, I think you two are not ordinary people. Please help me come up with ideas and save my brothers. Otherwise, they really won't be able to see you in a few days."
The sun is shining brightly. My brothers and I have been drinking guillotine through life and death. If something happens to them, I won't be alone." After Zhaolin finished speaking, he started pounding his head and crying loudly.
Although Lingxi had already known that his brother and the others would be safe this time, he still broke into a cold sweat after listening to Zhaolin's narration. It can be seen how thrilling the scene was at that time. If it weren't for the person who jumped out to save him halfway,
I'm just afraid that my brother and the others will be in trouble this time.
But at the same time, she also felt resentful towards the person who instigated these Dongbo Mountain bandits to intercept Sheka. Since this person could set up such a poisonous plan, he must not be a simple person, and he has a lot of power.
You must know that these bandits from Dongbo Mountain have long been a thorn in the side of the imperial court. If they can use the hands of these bandits to kill the Feng family and His Highness the Third Prince this time, it will be a matter of killing three birds with one stone.
If something happens to His Highness, who will be the beneficiary? And if something happens to the Feng family army, then they can easily take away the military power of their Feng family.
Last time the Ruan family came back after achieving military exploits, at the celebration banquet, Empress Chen quietly removed the military power of the three Ruan family fathers and sons. This time it was the Feng family's turn again.
It seems that these royal people are not fun to play, right? Once they are fully utilized, they will be kicked away like a ball.
But this is not the time for her to be angry. She needs to find out the whole story to make it true. Including that they almost died this time, I'm afraid it is also involved in the whole plan.
"Crying, what is there for a grown man to cry about? If I had known what would happen today, why would you have done it in the first place? Let me ask you, are you sure about the identities of those people who came out from the road to rescue the Feng family army?" Lingxi
I couldn't help but ask.
"If I'm not mistaken, the leading jade-faced young man is the newly promoted Prince Yin. At that time, I heard someone in the crowd shouting this. But because I didn't know him, I wasn't sure. Then.
We were blocked by the large rocks and logs falling from the sky. Our people were killed and wounded, and were surrounded by people from both sides. As a result, our army was almost wiped out. I was lucky enough to escape.
They did not lose their lives. However, my remaining brothers were captured alive. I heard that they were imprisoned in the sky prison at this time and will be executed in three days."
After Zhaolin finished speaking, he started to cry bitterly. The expression of crying in pain was extremely real. His mother and I would only have such an expression after they died.
Chu Wushuang and Lingxi were lost in thought. It seemed that this time was definitely a trap. The man behind the scenes made these bandits from Dongbo Mountain act as scapegoats.
Now only by following the clues and finding out the truth can we find out the person behind it.
They sat there from morning to noon, and from noon to dusk. Zhaolin was still chattering there, which was very noisy.
