"Shameless! This is outside the agreement, you are dishonest." Lu Zhongtian shouted.
Lin Jue spat and said: "Just think that I am not trustworthy, so what? You don't even think about yourself. Are you making irresponsible remarks about me? Should I change? If not, I can leave. You attack
I guarantee that Lu Tianci will turn into a human stick. Don’t you know what a human stick looks like? You will see with your own eyes what a human stick is."
Lu Zhongtian shouted angrily: "You are the most shameless and dishonest person in the world, and now you come to raise conditions."
Lin Jue showed a row of neat white teeth and said with a smile: "I dare not take it. You are the number one in the world. The most I can do is sit in the back row, maybe not even in the top ten. Agree or not? I don't have time to wait.
Talkative."
In Lu Zhongtian's mind, his son's life always comes first. Regardless of his determination, as long as he still has a choice, he will not give up his son's life rashly. Of course, if Lin Jue is unwilling to release Lu Tianci at this time
, which shows that this person intends to hold Lu Tianci hostage for the rest of his life. Lu Zhongtian will never tolerate that. But now the other party just asks for a change of hostage, and his son will be released. There is no need to consider other things. The key is to let Tianci escape first.
"Who are you going to replace as a hostage? Could it be me? Humph, then your calculation is wrong." Lu Zhongtian took a precaution first and told Lin Juexiu that he was trying to be cunning. There is absolutely no way he could be a hostage, son.
Even if he dies, he cannot sacrifice himself to save him. This is the bottom line.
"Don't worry, I won't replace you, and you don't have to remind me. The person I want to replace is him." Lin Jue pointed his finger towards Lu Zhongtian and said in a deep voice.
Lu Zhongtian was stunned, turned around and saw Wu Chunlai's panic and surprise.
"I...I...I?" Wu Chunlai was stunned and stammered, pointing to his nose.
"Yes, that's right, it's you Mr. Wu. The time has come for Mr. Wu to show your loyalty. Trade yourself for Lu Yanei. This is called sacrificing yourself to save others. Mr. Lu will definitely treat you more highly and be moved. Don't you think so?
Don't you want to?" Lin Jue smiled.
Wu Chunlai shouted: "You bastard, it's impossible. How could I be your hostage? Don't even think about it. You are deliberately harming me."
Lin Jue smiled and said to Lu Zhongtian: "Prime Minister Lu, I have already drawn the line. Whether you agree or not is your business. Please make the decision, Prime Minister Lu."
Lu Zhongtian frowned and said, "Can you change someone? Mr. Wu cannot be a hostage."
Wu Chunlai burst into tears of gratitude and almost cried.
"Prime Minister Lu, I don't want anyone except Wu Chunlai. If you don't want to, then we'll break up," Lin Jue said.
Lu Tianci screamed: "Wu Chunlai, why are you unwilling? Didn't you tell me that you would do anything for me? Now you are asked to replace me, and you are not willing? What you usually say
Is it a lie?"
Wu Chunlai frowned and hesitated: "These are two different things. It's not that I don't want to, but... but..."
Wu Chunlai had been here for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a reason. He vaguely understood in his heart that Lin Jue did this deliberately. There was no way he could be a hostage, Lin Jue would definitely kill him.
Wu Chunlai tried to persuade Lu Zhongtian not to agree to his unreasonable request. This was obviously Lin Jue's conspiracy. But when he turned his head and saw the way Lu Zhongtian looked at him, he thought for a moment: "This is terrible."
"Chunlai, how do I treat you on weekdays?" Lu Zhongtian's tone was very friendly. However, Wu Chunlai was so frightened by this sentence that he almost peed his pants.
"Mr. Lu treats me with great kindness...but..."
"Listen to what I have to say. I treat you as my own son. For so many years, you have been by my side and worked loyally, which makes me very compatible. I am also very kind to you. You have been a mere Jinshi.
It didn't take more than ten years to become the deputy prime minister. This is of course due to your own ability, but I'm afraid my support is also indispensable. This time, I encounter such a problem, what do you think... what should I do?
"
Lu Zhongtian tilted his head and looked at Wu Chunlai and said solemnly. He saw the panic and fear in Wu Chunlai's eyes.
"No, Mr. Lu, this is their trick. They are trying to...try to kill me. Mr. Lu, I have an old man and a young man. It doesn't matter if something happens to me. The key is not to be fooled by them."
Wu Chunlai said hurriedly.
"I know...I know. But now the situation is stuck here. Tianci needs someone to replace him. What do you think we should do? Don't worry, I don't think they will do anything. They are just looking for a hostage. You are the boss
Vice Minister Zhou, they won’t do anything to you. Don’t you think so?”
Wu Chunlai cursed in his heart and thought angrily: "Nothing will happen? Then why don't you let your son stay in their hands? I have a grudge against Lin Jue, so what good will happen if he falls into his hands?"
"No, no, no. Isn't it difficult for the lower officials to think about it? What can't they do? Prime Minister Lu, they hate me to the core. You must not send me into their hands. Then the lower officials will be ruined." Wu
Chun Lai waved his hand and shouted.
Lu Zhongtian sighed: "You don't want to go, do you?"
"It's not that I refuse, but..."
"Then you agree?" Lu Zhongtian interrupted him.
"It's not...but because..."
"What are you doing? You are willing to do it, but you are not willing to do it. Why are you hesitating and hesitating? What are you worried about? Are you afraid that they will kill you? Don't worry, I will take care of your family, parents, wife and children for the rest of their lives.
This time you saved my God-given life. I will become sworn brothers with you. We will share blessings and share hardships. What do you think?"
Wu Chunlai had ten million grass and mud horses galloping past in his mind, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Lu Zhongtian said: "Don't worry, I won't attack. As long as you are useful, they won't kill you. You don't have to worry."
Wu Chunlai gritted his teeth and said, "No, Prime Minister Lu should hire another Gao Ming. I'm afraid Chunlai won't be able to go."
Lu Zhongtian's expression changed and he said coldly: "So you don't want to? I understand."
"It's not unwillingness, but..." Wu Chunlai plunged the problem into an endless loop.
"Chun Lai, you'd better not force me to use force." Lu Zhongtian turned his head and said coldly.
Wu Chunlai's face turned red and he said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Lu, Chun Lai was so loyal to Prime Minister Lu that he was so heartbroken, but in the end he was worthless in Prime Minister Lu's heart? How could he be so reckless about my life and death and want to send me into the tiger's mouth?
What?"
Lu Zhongtian frowned and said, "Of course I don't want spring to come, but they asked you to replace me by name. I didn't choose you to go."
Wu Chunlai laughed loudly and said angrily: "I understand, in the heart of Lu Xiang, the life of Mr. Yamen is much more valuable than my life, Wu Chunlai. Even if I, Wu Chunlai, have done so many things for Lu Xiang, it is not as good as
Your playboy and incompetent Yameni son plays an important role in your mind. Mr. Lu, you are so disappointing. In your heart, I, Wu Chunlai, am just a dog you raise, right? When a bird is hidden, a rabbit will be cooked by a dog.
, at this time, I can just take it and die. Hahaha, people are so unpredictable and the world is so cold. I should have thought of this a long time ago."
Lu Zhongtian said coldly: "When spring comes, don't say negative words. In my heart, I regard you as my son. How have I treated you over the years? Now that the gift is in their hands, they named you to exchange it. You teach me
What should I do? Maybe Tianci is indeed a playboy and incompetent, but after all, he is my son and the only child of my Lu family. I have to save you. Don’t worry, I will save you just like I saved Tianci. They don’t dare to touch you, otherwise
I’m going to kill them all. Don’t worry.”
Wu Chunlai sighed and lowered his head in silence. His eyes were full of anger and resentment, but he knew that it was useless to say anything. Following Lu Zhongtian for many years, didn't he know Lu Zhongtian's temperament. He seemed gentle, but in fact he was extremely cruel at heart. Absolutely.
He would change his mind because of his own begging or protest. He just felt sad for himself. He had followed him loyally for so many years, but in the end he still abandoned him like worn out shoes.
"Come here. Escort Vice Minister Wu to the other side to replace him." Lu Zhongtian said solemnly.
Three guards moved their horses over and surrounded Wu Chunlai's horse on three sides, one on each side, leaving only a path in front. Wu Chunlai sighed, stretched out his hand, pulled off the official hat on his head, and threw it to the ground.
He rode off with laughter. The horse's hooves trampled the official hat into the dust, and trampled the precious jade inlaid on it into pieces.
With a cold smile in Lin Jue's eyes, he watched Wu Chunlai riding his horse. When Wu Chunlai came closer, Lin Jue shouted in a deep voice: "Take this guy."
Sun Dayong came forward with a brother, forcibly dragged Wu Chunlai off his horse, grabbed his clothes and brought him to Lin Jue.
Wu Chunlai's face turned pale, and he said stubbornly: "Lin Jue, I would like to advise you, it's best to let me go. I might be able to help you get out of trouble. Taking me as a hostage will do you no good at all."
Lin Jue laughed and said: "At this time, are you still so arrogant? Your master has given up on you. I just said it casually, but I didn't expect that your master was willing to trade you, which shows that you are in his mind.
You are nothing more than a dog. You are expendable at any time and at any time. Don’t you understand this?”
Wu Chunlai's face was ashen and he was silent.
Lin Jue stopped paying attention to him and said in a deep voice: "Send Mr. Yanei back."
Sun Dayong whispered from the side: "Sir, do you really want to do this?"
Everyone around them also looked at Lin Jue. They always thought that letting Lu Tianci go was unwise and a woman's kindness. So they always felt a little knotty in their hearts.
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "I have made the truth very clear. If you still think it is not enough, I will tell you the simplest truth again. Although Lu Tianci is a dandy and domineering, he is just a dandy and domineering after all. Although there have been conflicts over the years,
But there is no unforgivable crime. If we want to attack him just because he is Lu Zhongtian's son, then what is the difference between us and them? It is the simplest truth that the harm will not harm our descendants and relatives. Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner.
, instead of harming their families. You should understand this truth."
Everyone was speechless after hearing this. Indeed, although Lu Tianci was a playboy, he actually did not do anything truly disgusting. He was punished several times for causing trouble, but he did not do anything extreme. The harm would not harm his descendants, women and children.
If you want to kill all Lu Zhongtian's family members because of Lu Zhongtian, wouldn't you be the same type of person as Lu Zhongtian?
Ma Bin let go of Lu Tianci's arm and shouted in a deep voice: "Lu Tianci, you can go."
Lu Tianci's legs felt weak, and he looked at Lin Jue tremblingly and asked: "You...you really let me go?"
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Is there any lie? Don't do evil again after you go back. You know our methods. We will find you and catch you at any time. It's easy to kill you. You fell into my hands twice.
, you should know that what I said is true."
Lu Tianci repeatedly raised his hands and said: "I believe, I believe. I am not convinced by anyone, but I am convinced by you, Lin Jue. My father also admires you very much. You dare to go against my father like this, and teach my father to take advantage of you."
I'm afraid you are the only one who has no choice. I want to make friends with you. So... can I go?"
Lin Jue nodded and smiled: "You can go."
Lu Tianci said: "You wouldn't shoot an arrow at my back from behind, right?"
Lin Jue laughed, suddenly stretched out his hand to hold the crossbow in his hand, and said coldly: "You reminded me, it must be fun. Lu Tianci, let's play a game, I will only shoot you in the back, if you can
If I can't shoot your back, I won't do it."
Lu Tianci was stunned and speechless, and suddenly laughed and said: "Hehehehe, keep your word, I have a way. If I walk backwards, you won't be able to cum."
As he spoke, Lu Tianci actually faced Lin Jue and stepped back backwards. Lin Jue and others laughed and watched the clown's performance. They watched him fall all the way back, sometimes being knocked to the ground by the rocks behind him, stumbling.
He walked for dozens of steps until more than a dozen guards from the other side rushed forward to meet him and brought him back to Lu Zhongtian.
"Lv Zhongtian, your son has returned. I have not broken my promise to you. I hope you will keep your promise and it is best not to provoke us. Otherwise, Vice Minister Wu will be killed." Lin Jue said loudly.
Lu Zhongtian laughed and said: "Of course, I am also a man of his word. You have to ensure the safety of Deputy Prime Minister Wu. I will not order an attack, don't worry. Lin Jue, just because you can release my son,
I admire you very much. You are so generous and magnanimous, I am ashamed of myself."
Lin Jue laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Lu, please don't try to flatter me or kill me. I don't have any magnanimity. I have always been determined to retaliate. All those who harmed me, those who killed Mr. Fang and Master Yan, and the brothers around me were killed."
I will keep this account in mind and will definitely repay the debt with blood. However, the injustice has its owner and the debt has its owner, and the harm does not come to the wives, children, relatives and friends. If I kill the son-in-law, wouldn’t I be like some people who resort to unscrupulous means?
They are like beasts."
Lu Zhongtian laughed and said: "Everyone does things differently, and there is no distinction between good and bad. Just based on your trip today, I promise you that if you fall into my hands in the future, I will give you a complete corpse. Your wife and children
I will also leave my family members a way to survive."
Lin Jue laughed loudly and said: "So, I seem to have to thank Prime Minister Lu. But don't worry, you want me to fall into your hands, unless the sun comes out in the west. I'm afraid you will have no hope in this life. I have to leave.
I’ve said goodbye to Lu Xiang, maybe I won’t see you again.”
Lu Zhongtian smiled and cupped his hands and said, "It doesn't matter if I don't see you or not. I'll say goodbye."
Both sides turned their horses' heads and parted ways.
…
As the sun sets, the tired bird returns to its nest. This is the time when everything in the world needs to recuperate, but Lin Jue and others in Akicang Town must leave immediately. Because after handing over the ace in their hands, Lin Jue predicted that what will happen next
The attack is coming. He must respond.
Lin Jue, Guo Bing and others gathered together in the bluestone clearing next to the well under the locust tree at the entrance of the town to discuss.
Guo Bing's face was pale and frightened. He had not closed his eyes since last night. His son was seriously injured and his injuries were worsening. He suddenly lost everything. Coupled with the frightening night in the capital, he was already exhausted mentally and physically. Bags were drooped under his eyes, and his eyes were
Dark blue, with a tired look on his face.
"Everyone, I predict that the opponent will launch an attack soon. Once they attack in a large scale, it will be difficult for us to survive. In view of the current situation, the wounded soldiers and the carts cannot escape the pursuit of the opponent's cavalry, so we must attack them
Carry out a blockade to ensure the evacuation of the wounded soldiers and carriages. It is getting late now, and this is a rare opportunity for us. Father-in-law, I have decided to allocate some of my manpower to protect you and leave first. The rest will be in Akakura Town.
Ambush the pursuers. It's getting dark soon, which is good for us. A large group of cavalry can't launch an attack quickly at night. This is not a wide street in the city. It's a mountainous place with rugged terrain, which is bad for them. So my estimate is,
Even if they pursue them, they won't do it at night. Tonight they will move forward slowly and keep a distance. Tomorrow morning will be the time for them to massacre. I don't know what you are thinking." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"What the Commander-in-Chief said is absolutely true. Now we must let the slow-moving ones go first and harass and block the pursuers. I think the Commander-in-Chief also had some considerations in choosing the terrain of Akacang Town. To the south of here is
There are large paddy fields to the north of the Bianhe River tributary, but there is only one main road in the town, which is convenient for us to ambush." Because in front of Guo Bing, Shen Tan could not treat Lin Jue as a brother, so he changed his title to Jun Maye.
Guo Bing wiped the sweat from his face and took a sip of the tasteless cold well water, but he almost choked himself. He coughed a few times before saying: "But...where are we going? Lin Jue, that Funiu Mountain you were talking about."
It's still two hundred miles away, can we get there? With our few manpower, can we stop the pursuit of so many soldiers and horses? Oh my, this is really difficult to handle."
Lin Jue said: "Father-in-law, no matter how difficult it is, we will risk our lives to do it. If we don't do it, there will be no chance. Don't worry, father-in-law, my son-in-law has also made some arrangements. Tonight you go west and follow Caiwei and the others.
Meet up. Caiwei and the others are sixty miles away to the west. They are moving at a slower speed. I estimate that you will be able to catch up with them tomorrow morning. Caiwei will take care of you then, and you and your mother-in-law can feel at ease. The convoy over there
We have medicines that can be used to treat the injured in time. As for the resistance here, my father-in-law doesn’t have to worry about it. We are here, so you don’t have to worry."
When Guo Bing heard Guo Caiwei's name, he showed a rare smile. He nodded and said: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. Wei'er and the others are in front? Okay, then we have to catch up. Kun'er's situation is very bad, I
I’m really worried.”
Ma Bin said: "My lord, you don't have to think about anything. Just leave everything to Mr. Lin. Don't look at the small number of us. We can kill out from the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the capital. Who dares to say that we can do it? I believe Lin
Brothers can do it.”
Guo Bing nodded and said: "Okay, you are all well done. I, Guo Bing, used to have thousands of scribes and staff in my house. In the end, they all dispersed like birds and beasts. The only ones following me are the guards and you guys."
I don’t usually have many contacts with people. I really lament this matter. As the saying goes, people who follow the trend are not reliable. Only you are trustworthy. If the overall situation can be restored one day, I will not forget it.
I take credit for your efforts."
Lin Jue frowned and said nothing. It was really disgusting that Guo Bing said these words at this time. If these people in front of them were seeking glory and wealth, they would never be like this. I am afraid that Guo Bing and his son will never understand in their lifetimes the relationship between human and human beings. In fact, the attraction between people is not only about interests. The strongest thing is actually not the alliance of interests, but the word friendship.
"Father-in-law, before you set off, we have to deal with someone first. Commander Shen, please bring Wu Chunlai up." Lin Jue said.
