Now the six of them except Lin Yi couldn't figure out why Tan Meng risked the world's disapproval to kidnap the emperor. Now they heard Tan Meng tell him the reason.
They really didn't expect that Tan Meng and Prime Minister Lu were actually brothers.
In this case, Tan E has nothing to say anymore.
After a meal, Peng Jian shouted from a high place: "It's coming, it's coming!"
Several people also looked towards the fields in front of the foothills.
I saw a carriage speeding towards me.
As the carriage approached, Lin Yitanmeng and Lu Jun became excited.
Prime Minister Lu can finally be rescued.
The carriage approached and stopped a few feet away from Tan Meng.
The Sixth Prince hurried to the carriage and opened the carriage.
There were two people in the carriage, one was Prime Minister Lu and the other was a master from Dali Temple who was escorting him.
Xiang Lu's clothes were in rags, his hair was disheveled and his face was dirty, like a beggar. During his imprisonment in the Demon Prison, Xiang Lu suffered all kinds of torture, and his body is now extremely weak. The wounds on his body have all healed.
Prime Minister Lu still wears heavy iron chains on his hands and feet.
Prime Minister Lu still didn't know that his brother had captured the emperor, and he was still confused when he was escorted out of the prison.
The Sixth Prince personally helped Lu Xiang out of the car.
Only then did Prime Minister Lu see his brothers holding the emperor hostage, with Lin Yi, Teng Bin and others standing aside.
Prime Minister Lu suddenly seemed to understand something, and his spirit was lifted.
Suddenly, Prime Minister Lu raised his head and laughed several times towards the sky, and said excitedly: "The sky has eyes! I can still see the sun again..."
Tan Meng and Lu Jun were even more excited to see Lu Xiang.
Lu Jun rushed over and pushed the Sixth Prince away and supported Lu Xiang. Lu Jun said with tears in his eyes: "Master Xiang, you have suffered."
Although Lu Jun was now wearing a grass-leaf suit and a hood, as soon as he heard his voice, Prime Minister Lu knew it was Lu Jun.
Lu Jun said to the Sixth Prince again: "Take off the iron shackles on the Prime Minister's body."
The Sixth Prince looked at the emperor and asked for his opinion.
The emperor nodded slightly, and the Sixth Prince ordered the Dali Temple official to remove all the iron shackles on Prime Minister Lu's body. After the iron shackles were removed, Teng Bin also clasped a hand on Prime Minister Lu's neck, and Teng Bin stared at Tan like a sharp blade.
The dream said: "I will release Prime Minister Lu, and you will release the Emperor."
Tan Meng said: "Amitabha, Master Teng thinks that I am a three-year-old child. Now that I let the emperor go, it will be difficult for us to escape."
Lin Yi also stared at Tan Meng and said, "Then what do you want?"
Tan Meng said: "I will stay and let my people take the prime minister away. When they get to a safe place, I will let the emperor go."
The Sixth Prince also spoke, and said: "You may not let the Emperor go as soon as Prime Minister Lu leaves. I don't believe you, let's let him go now."
Tan Meng said: "Amitabha, you can only believe in it."
After saying that, Tan Meng used the tip of the knife to pierce the skin of the emperor's throat, and blood flowed down the emperor's neck. The emperor's face changed in shock, and he shouted loudly: "Master, please release Prime Minister Lu immediately!"
The Sixth Prince also quickly shouted to Teng Bin, asking him to let go.
Teng Bin released his hand from Xiang Lu's throat.
Before Prime Minister Lu left, Lu Jun helped him walk to the emperor.
Prime Minister Lu stared at the Emperor, and the Emperor looked at Prime Minister Lu.
In so many years, this was the first time that Prime Minister Lu looked directly at the Emperor.
This made the emperor feel uneasy.
Prime Minister Lu asked: "How are you doing, Your Majesty?"
The emperor said: "I'm fine."
Prime Minister Lu said in a resentful tone: "But I'm not good. Very bad."
The emperor is now being held to his neck with a knife. He can only say: "I listened to Shangguan Minghong's slander and wrongly blamed you. It's all my fault. Whatever compensation you want, I will give it to you..."
Prime Minister Lu said quietly: "How dare I ask the emperor for compensation. You are the emperor, and everything you do is right. After all, I have worked hard for the country and the emperor for so many years. I just came here to say goodbye to the emperor. As the saying goes, there is a beginning and an end.
.Today you and I, the king and my ministers, say goodbye. No matter how many years pass, as long as I don’t die, we will definitely meet again someday!”
Xiang Lu’s words are profound.
The emperor said: "In that case, I have something to ask Prime Minister Lu."
Prime Minister Lu said: "Ask."
The emperor said: "Are you Empress Lu Zheng?"
A smile appeared on Xiang Lu's face, which was unpredictable, and he said: "Your Majesty, please guess?"
The emperor said: "I...I can't guess. I just want to hear it from the Prime Minister's own mouth."
Prime Minister Lu reached out and patted the emperor's shoulder gently and said: "Then I will tell the emperor personally. But not today, but tomorrow when the king and his ministers meet again. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. One day, I will come to find you! I hope you will be there every night
Can sleep well..."
Prime Minister Lu's words were like a cold wind, making the emperor shudder.
Lu Xiang will look at Tan Meng again, and Tan Meng will also look at Lu Xiang.
Xiang Lu asked: "Is the plan thorough?"
Tan Meng said: "Think carefully."
Prime Minister Lu nodded. He was worried that after he left, it would be difficult for his brother to escape.
Now that everything was done, he felt relieved.
Prime Minister Lu said: "Then I'll leave first."
Since Prime Minister Lu is now weak and his power has been blocked with medicine by the Emperor's order, if he wants to escape now, Lu Jun can only carry him on his back.
Lu Jun carried Prime Minister Lu on his back, and Tan Meng raised his voice and said to Lu Jun: "If you find someone following you, or if there is any abnormality, send a signal, and I will take action. If everything goes well, send a safe signal when you get there, and I will let the emperor go."
."
Tan Meng said this to the Sixth Prince and others, to tell them not to play tricks.
Lu Jun nodded, then carried Lu Xiang on his back and walked into the mountain.
From beginning to end, Prime Minister Lu did not communicate with Lin Yi in any way.
Because Xiang Lu knew that Lin Yi was most likely secretly involved in today's rescue plan. Xiang Lu was very grateful for this, so he avoided suspicion and did not want people to suspect Lin Yi.
Lu Jun and Lu Xiang left. Master Tan Meng held a knife against the emperor with one hand, and flew up with the emperor in his arms.
Along with him, Lin Yi, Teng Bin and others also flew up.
It's just that they all keep a distance from Tan Meng.
Don't dare to step forward rashly.
Tan Meng took the emperor hostage and dropped him from a high place, and Lin Yi and others also dropped down around them one after another.
Then the two sides stood in place as if in a stalemate.
Time passed slowly. After nearly an hour, Tan Meng saw a red centipede kite rising in a direction in the distance. This was a signal from Lu Jun to report that he was safe.
It means that Xiang Lu is safe now.
Teng Bin and Lin Yi also followed Tan Meng's gaze and saw the centipede kite.
Teng Bin said to Tan Meng: "Can we let the emperor go now?"
Tan Meng said: "Everyone retreat, twenty feet away from the mountain, and I will let the emperor go."
The Sixth Prince and Teng Bin exchanged glances, and then the Sixth Prince ordered them all to step back twenty feet.
They stepped back twenty feet, and Tan Meng's knife was also removed from the emperor's throat.
Tan Meng said: "Your Majesty is frightened. What I did today has nothing to do with the Daxiangguo Temple. I hope the emperor will not express his anger."
After saying that, Tan Meng let go of the emperor and quickly fell into the forest.
After all this ordeal, the emperor's body collapsed on the hill.
At the same time, Lin Yi Tengbin and others also rushed towards the hill.
Lin Yi, Teng Bin and Tan E were the first to come. Lin Yi was the first to fall down and quickly helped the emperor up.
Teng Bin and Tan E knelt on the ground. Teng Bin said: "Teng Bin failed to protect the emperor and frightened the emperor. Please punish me."
Tan Echeng said in fear: "As the abbot of the Great Xiangguo Temple, and also as senior brother Tan Meng, I cannot escape the blame for my oversight and dereliction of duty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
