Sun Dayong quickly came to the curtain, approached the gap in the door curtain and looked outside. After a while, he turned around and whispered: "There are indeed a lot of people outside. It seems that they have indeed prevented us from escaping and increased the manpower around us."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Don't worry about them. We can't escape unless they increase their manpower. This is a military camp with hundreds of thousands of people, and our horses have been taken away by them for safekeeping. It's impossible to escape. Come on."
Being hard will only anger Wanyan Aguda, and I don't want to anger him and kill us all here."
"Husband, what should we do? Do you want to stay here and be the Jurchen's son-in-law? Are you... going to divorce us all?" Bai Bing asked blankly.
Hearing this, Gao Muqing also opened his eyes wide and stared at Lin Jue. Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "How is it possible? You are overthinking, how could I be like this? Then who have I become? It is impossible for me to marry Wan Yan Mingyue, but
It's not because there's anything wrong with her. In fact, Wanyan Mingyue is a good woman. I have no ill feelings towards her, and she doesn't have bad intentions towards us either. It's because of... her identity. It's impossible for me to hang out with Jurchens.
Together, otherwise, my reputation will be tarnished and reviled by thousands of people. I will immediately be accused of colluding with foreign enemies to bring disaster to the Zhou Dynasty. I even suspect that the reason why Wanyan Aguda forced me to marry Wanyan Mingyue was not only because he wanted to marry Wanyan Mingyue.
I will make suggestions for him, and I may even use our Funiu Mountain Luoyan Army troops to support his future ambitions. Any possibility is possible. Therefore, the only way to prevent this is to resolutely not agree to his request.
We have to find a way to escape."
Sun Dayong nodded and said: "What you said is absolutely true. You have said that the Jurchens are not good people at all, and you must be wary of them in every possible way. Wanyan Aguda may really want to win over you, and it is useless to use the power of our Luoyan Army for him."
You know. In short, we have to find a way to escape. But...how to escape? Sir, do you have a plan?"
Lin Jue frowned and shook his head slightly: "It happened suddenly. I don't have any countermeasures for the time being. I have to think about it carefully. I just want to ventilate with you and let you know what happened tonight and our current situation. I pretended to be drunk and got away.
I hope that I can have a night to think carefully about countermeasures, and you can also think about solutions. We can brainstorm ways to solve the situation."
Gao Muqing gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't I go into Wanyan Aguda's camp tonight and kidnap him, forcing them to let us go."
Lin Jue was startled, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, Mu Qing, don't act rashly. Wanyan Aguda is surrounded by tight security, you won't succeed. Once you miss, there will be no room for maneuver. If you act recklessly,
It’s just costing everyone’s life.”
Gao Muqing sighed and remained silent. Of course she also knew that doing so was too risky, but she just blurted it out in anxiety. Lin Jue disagreed, and she would never do that.
Lin Jue was about to comfort her when he suddenly heard the noise outside the tent. It seemed that someone was approaching and was intercepted by soldiers of the Luoyan Army. The two sides were negotiating. Sun Dayong hurriedly went out to check, and came in after a while to report: "Sir, it's Princess Jinhua who is here.
I brought some sobering products to visit you."
Lin Jue was stunned, Gao Muqing snorted, Bai Bing quickly took Gao Muqing's hand and squeezed it, signaling her not to be angry.
Lin Jue frowned and said, "I came back pretending to be drunk, so it was not easy to see her. Bing'er went to see her and said that I was still drunk and thanked her for her kindness."
Bai Bing nodded in agreement, turned around and walked out. Gao Muqing said, "I'll go too."
Lin Jue frowned and said, "Mu Qing..."
Gao Muqing said: "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with her. I'm not a person who doesn't know right from wrong. Why are you so worried?"
Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "That's fine, you can just go."
Bai Bing and Gao Muqing left the tent. Sun Dayong looked at Lin Jue and said, "What do you have in mind, sir? How can we get out of trouble?"
Lin Jue said softly: "I already have some ideas and I will act accordingly tomorrow. You can go back and rest. Brothers have been working hard all the way. It will be a noisy night tonight. Just ask everyone to sleep with their ears covered. What? Don’t worry about it.”
Sun Dayong nodded in agreement, bowed and left.
Bai Bing and Gao Muqing turned around not long after. Bai Bing was holding a package in his hand and placed it on the bed. Before Lin Jue asked, Bai Bing said: "This is the sobering gift given by the princess. There are a few ginseng and Bai Bing." Damn it, they say it can help you sober up after drinking it. The princess asked me to apologize to my husband, and she said she would advise her brother not to embarrass us."
Lin Jue nodded and sighed.
Bai Bing smiled and said: "The princess is wearing the clothes of our Zhou people, not to mention she is so beautiful. No wonder my husband likes her. I like her when I see her."
Lin Jue said hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense, when did I fall in love with her? Bing'er, you think it's not chaotic enough?"
Gao Muqing snorted and said, "I just like you, so why are you so secretive? If nothing happened between you, how could the princess be so nice to you? Only you know what you did in the Snake Island Cave in those two days. .”
Lin Jue was so helpless that he swore and swore to explain. Gao Muqing shook his head and lay on his bed, saying: "There's no need for this. Just tell whoever you like. We just don't like people being secretive. Men." If a man does something, he does it, and he won't admit anything."
Lin Jue was completely speechless. This kind of thing got darker and darker the more he described it, and the more he explained it, the more suspicious it became. It was completely unnecessary for him to explain the matter. Gao Muqing's behavior was not entirely jealous, but because he was impatient and in a bad mood, so there was no need for him to explain it. Go argue with her. Gao Muqing does seem to be a different person recently, and Lin Jue is also quite confused. But at this moment, he can't communicate with her in detail, so he has to give up.
At that moment, Lin Jue told Bai Bing to turn off the lights and go to bed. The three of them lay down in their clothes, each thinking about their own thoughts, and soon they all fell asleep.
…
It was really a noisy night. The Jurchens drank to their heart's content. After getting drunk, they sang, danced, screamed and made noise around the bonfire. It was like a group of demons dancing wildly. The carnival lasted until after the third watch, and then finally stopped. What followed was full of people. The camp snores like thunder.
Early the next morning, when Lin Jue was talking to Sun Dayong on the grass outside the tent, Wanyan Aguda galloped over on his horse with a large group of cavalry behind him.
"Have you thought about it? Do you have an answer?" Wanyan Agu asked loudly while sitting on his horse.
Lin Jue cupped his hands and said, "What did the chief say? Didn't you understand?"
Wanyan Aguda sneered and said, "Are you pretending to be deaf and dumb with me? It won't do you any good. I have to leave now because I have something to do. When I come back in the afternoon, you must give me an answer. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. If you want to live, just agree. My condition, if you want to die, I can fulfill it for you. Think about it carefully."
After that, Wanyan Agu whipped his horse and galloped away through the forest with a group of cavalry.
Lin Jue's face was ashen. He ate a few mouthfuls of dry food and immediately summoned everyone to the tent to discuss the matter. Only seven or eight key people participated in the discussion. Everyone already knew the seriousness of the matter. Seeing Master Lin's serious look, they all
Everyone looked solemn.
"Everyone, the Jurchens are not going to let us leave. Wanyan Aguda has made a condition, asking me to marry his sister and stay in the Jurchen tribe to work for him, otherwise he will kill us all. What do you think?
, what should we do?" Lin Jue asked in a deep voice.
Everyone has known about the gossip about Lin Jue and the Jurchen Golden Flower Princess for a long time. Sun Dayong also told several key members in private about what happened last night. In fact, everyone did not sleep well last night. On the one hand, it was because of the women in the camp.
The real people kept making noises. On the one hand, they were thinking about how to solve the problem. But in fact, no one could find a good solution.
"Master Lin, the Jurchens are really hateful. How can Master Lin stay here? Who will lead our Luoyan Army? Simply, your Excellency ordered us to break out. In the morning, a few brothers and I went to sneak around and inquire.
When we reach the position of the horses, they are in the woods to the east. Let's rush over and grab the horses and fight them out." The person who spoke was a captain named Li from the Luoyan Army Guards Camp.
"That's right, what Brother Li said is true. Sir, let's just take action. Even if we die in battle, we can't be used as dogs to the Jurchens. Kill one without losing anything, kill two and gain one." Several key members agreed.
Lin Jue frowned and said: "Is this a countermeasure? Is it a countermeasure to fight hard at all times? Fighting with more than a hundred people against hundreds of thousands of others? Is there any chance of winning? What's the good of dying? Of course, if you die, a hundred will be eliminated, but what about the Luoyan Army?
?Where are the hundreds of thousands of people in Funiu Mountain? What about the major event of our Luoyan Army? Isn’t it all in smoke?"
Lin Jue's rebuke made everyone bow their heads and be speechless. Lin Jue looked at Sun Dayong and said, "Brother Sun, what solution have you come up with?"
Sun Dayong shook his head and smacked his lips and said, "I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I really can't think of any good solution."
Lin Jue asked Bai Bing and Gao Muqing again, and both women shook their heads. Although they racked their brains, they were indeed not resourceful enough and could not come up with a good strategy in this situation.
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Since you all have no good solution, I have a solution here. You can listen and see if it can be used."
Everyone was overjoyed. It turned out that Mr. Lin had a countermeasure, so what else could he say? Mr. Lin's plan must be exquisite. If he had known it, there would be no need to waste words.
"Sir, please tell me what to do. I'll just listen to you." Everyone said one after another.
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Using your best is a bad idea. It makes no sense for everyone to die here. We have to leave here alive. I thought about it, and under the current situation, there is only one way. That is to agree to Wanyan Agu's conditions.
, I will marry Princess Jinhua."
"What?" Everyone's eyes were rolling on the ground and they cried out.
"Husband...are you serious about agreeing to their conditions, divorcing your wife and marrying the Golden Flower Princess?" Bai Bing said in a trembling voice.
Gao Muqing frowned and looked at Lin Jue. She knew in her heart that Lin Jue would never do that, but she felt uneasy at the moment. After all, she felt a little panicked.
"Where are you thinking? How could I do this? It's just a trick." Lin Jue whispered.
Sun Dayong said in a deep voice: "My lord, what you are saying is... is it a pretense of consent, waiting for them to relax their vigilance and wait for an opportunity to escape?"
Lin Jue shook his head slightly and said: "Brother Sun was half right. I was indeed pretending to agree, but it was not to wait for an opportunity to escape. Rather... I want to reach a condition with Wanyan Aguda. I can promise him to stay with me.
The premise for Wanyan Mingyue to get married is...he must let you go. If he agrees, you can escape."
Everyone was stunned, Gao Muqing said softly: "What about you?"
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "As long as you escape, I will be relieved. It is me they want, and you don't have to stay here to die with me. You are safe, and I am alone, so I have nothing to worry about."
.You are all the backbone of our Luoyan Army. We are escaping one by one to preserve the strength of our Luoyan Army. Otherwise, we will all die here. Do you understand?"
Before anyone could speak, Gao Muqing gritted his teeth and said, "No, we have to fight to the death together. I don't care about others, but I, Gao Muqing, will never abandon my husband and escape alone."
Bai Bing also shook his head and said: "Me too, I will not escape alone. How could it be done by a woman? Doesn't that correspond to the saying, 'Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when the south approaches'?"
If that were the case, how could Sister Mu Qing and I have the dignity to return to Yangu?
?How else to face the people in the Lu family and the people in the Luoyan Army?"
Sun Dayong also said in a deep voice: "Sir, brothers will not do such an unkind and unjust thing. When the situation comes, they will run away and leave you alone here. Isn't this what we do? Teach us how to do it in the future.
How can we stand between heaven and earth? Aren't we tortured by our conscience and reviled by the world? Sir, don't try to trap us brothers in injustice."
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said, "What are you doing? I'm not going to die if I stay. What are you doing? I'm staying to get married. Do you think I'm going to die if I stay?"
Sun Dayong shook his head and said: "Sir, I know you somewhat. Since you came up with such an idea, you are ready to be killed. You don't want us to die together, so you let us get away. Then you will
There will be a big showdown with Wanyan Agu, right?"
Everyone nodded, thinking, if your Excellency is really willing to marry Wanyan Mingyue, why do you want us to leave first? This must be a desperate attempt.
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "You are wrong. If you are an ant, you are still alive. How could I be willing to die in the hands of the Jurchens? I did this so that we can all escape. It's just divided into two steps. The first step is
It’s you who escape, and the second step is for me to escape myself. I also have my own strategy to escape, and I am definitely not going to die in the hands of the Jurchens as you think. Of course, you are right about one thing, I will not fight with Wanyan
Mingyue is really married, and all this is just a pretense. Don't think too much, I will definitely escape successfully and then find you. Don't worry."
Sun Dayong frowned and shook his head, and everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces. Lin Jue turned to Bai Bing and Gao Muqing and said: "Mu Qing, Bing'er, you should believe that I have the ability to escape from danger, you don't believe it either.
"
Bai Bing and Gao Muqing shook their heads at the same time: "I don't believe it!"
Lin Jue spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Why don't you believe it?"
Gao Muqing said: "Husband, if you really have a way to escape, please tell us how to escape and make us feel at ease."
Lin Jue pondered for a long time and said: "I can't say it, it won't work if I say it. In short, I will definitely get away."
Gao Muqing slowly shook his head and said: "You can't tell it, because there is no way to escape. Unless... you really become the Jurchen's son-in-law and really divorce your wife as they do. Maybe if you do that, the three of them will
After five years, you can take advantage of them to relax their vigilance and escape, but by then, I'm afraid everything will be too late. I'm afraid you won't be able to find us when you go back, because the moment you receive the divorce letter, the Lin family sisters are afraid that
They are all going to die."
Lin Jue frowned and said angrily: "Mu Qing, don't get into trouble. I have already said that I will not agree to their conditions, and I can escape. What else do you want? This is the only way I can think of for everyone to escape at the moment. You guys
They all made random guesses and refused to listen to me. So, if any of you has better suggestions, please do so. Or we might as well just kill them right now and everyone will die here. Wouldn’t that be what you wanted?
What's on your mind? Don't you want to kill one to get enough money, and kill two to earn one? Then let's kill and die. Come on, follow me, let's die. What are you doing standing there in a daze?"
Lin Jue spoke sternly, stood up and pulled out the box of bastards from his waist, looking as if he was furious and ready to fight. Bai Bing hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his arm and said: "Don't be upset, husband, isn't it because everyone is worried about your safety?"
What?"
Lin Jue shouted: "You're nothing to worry about. I told you I'd be fine. How did you fucking listen? If you don't listen to me, why should I bother? Everyone has no brains to commit suicide. Then
It’s the easiest and most mindless decision. It really pisses me off.”
No one had ever seen Lin Jue look so annoyed. Although Lin Jue was usually serious sometimes, his expression was definitely not like this. He always maintained a certain demeanor. But now, he even cursed.
"Sir, please don't be angry. We are not disobeying orders, but we are concerned about your safety. Please calm down." Sun Dayong stood up and handed over his hands, and several captains also hurriedly apologized.
Lin Jue snorted silently, and Sun Dayong looked at Bai Bing and Gao Muqing awkwardly, hoping that the two women would come forward to speak. Gao Muqing sighed and said softly: "Husband, since you said so, we will naturally obey your order.
However, Mu Qing has kept his words in mind. We can act according to your husband's plan and leave first. But if something happens to your husband, we will not be able to return to Funiu Mountain alive. Even if we die by then, we will still have to fight for it.
Husband, take revenge. If your husband is just trying to deceive us, then it is better to die together in a bloody battle today. Your husband should remember your original words, live together and die together."
Lin Jue stared at Gao Muqing, who had a determined look on his face. "Live together, die together" is a sentence that Lin Jue is very familiar with. He remembered that when he was in danger on Peach Blossom Island, in the stormy hurricane sea, he was underground.
When the warehouse exploded and she was trapped in a cave filled with water, this was the oath she and Gao Muqing made. Gao Muqing said this today to remind herself that she would not forget her original oath. Lin Jue absolutely believed that,
If something unexpected happens to him, Gao Muqing will die for himself without hesitation.
"Mu Qing, believe me. I won't die, and I won't let Wanyan Agu succeed." Lin Jue finally spoke softly.
Gao Muqing nodded slightly and said: "Okay, since your husband said so, we will listen to you and let you arrange everything. Brother Sun, don't say any more. I believe that your husband will have a way to escape. The worst case... we will come back later.
Just break into the Jurchen camp."
Sun Dayong nodded slightly and said: "Okay, in that case, we will obey your order."
Everyone also cupped their hands and said, "We will follow your orders."
