After everyone heard this, they all rode up and prepared to return to the formation, but Lin Jue suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I have a few more words to say."
Ma Bin shouted: "What else is there to say? If the old thief doesn't talk nonsense again, why do you want to talk nonsense with him?"
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "I won't tell the old thief, I will tell others. Just a few words."
Everyone had no choice but to rein in their horses and wait. Lin Jue coughed and shouted loudly towards the palace wall: "Chen Bin, Zhu Zhirong, Liu Zhenbang, are you three here? I have something to tell you, please listen carefully."
Chen Bin, Zhu Zhirong, Liu Zhenbang were stunned when they heard this. They didn't know whether they should respond. Lu Zhongtian frowned and said, "Don't pay attention to him. Let me shoot them with arrows."
Chen Bin was hesitant. Lin Jue and others were seventy or eighty steps away from the city wall, and they were indeed within the shooting range of bows and arrows. However, at this moment, the defenders did not have heavy crossbows, only some repeating crossbows and bows and arrows. The opposing cavalry was on guard with their shields. When they are attacked, they can immediately get out of the range of the bow and arrow. It is almost impossible to kill them. But Lu Zhongtian wants to order the arrows to be released. Doesn't that force the opponent to attack immediately? As soon as the opponent attacks, the palace gate will be broken. The more than 10,000 troops of his were not enough to fill the enemy's teeth, and he could not escape death. But Chen Bin did not want to die so quickly. Although he knew that he was unlucky today, he was also actively thinking of countermeasures, hoping that there would be a turn for the better. Lin Jue called his name and said he had something to say, so why not listen to what he had to say.
"Chen Bin, I want you to shoot them with arrows, didn't you hear?" Seeing Chen Bin's hesitation, Lu Zhongtian shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, why don't you listen to what Lin Jue said. At this distance, the enemy is heavily guarded, and I'm afraid they won't be able to shoot them. Why don't you listen to what that guy said?" Chen Bin said, cupping his hands.
Lu Zhongtian's face turned pale. It was precisely because he guessed what Lin Jue was going to say that he wanted to attack to prevent Lin Jue from saying those words. Unexpectedly, Chen Bin actually wanted to disobey. Lu Zhongtian felt a chill in his heart.
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter what Lin Jue says. Even if we don't fire arrows, they will still attack. We are all dead, so there is no need to rush on the road." Zhu Zhirong echoed in a low voice.
"You...you...well, in that case, just listen to what they have to say." Lu Zhongtian planned to get angry, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to listen to that little thief Lin Jue's nonsense, so I'll go down with you. It's windy here, and there's going to be another war soon, and it's very dangerous. I'll go down with you and stay here." Liu Zhenbang said softly.
Lu Zhongtian nodded and smiled bitterly: "Okay, Zhenbang, you are very good. I didn't expect that you were the most loyal to me in the end. I finally have a loyal person around me. Okay, you help me down. By the way, where is Tianci?" Ask him to come and go down with me. I'll leave this place to them. The sun is going down and it's really a bit cold."
Lu Tianci walked over timidly from the side, with a look of horror on his plump face.
"Daddy!" Lu Tianci cried sadly.
"Let's go, Tianci, let's go with daddy." Lu Zhongtian touched Lu Tianci's chubby face and sighed.
The three people supported each other and slowly descended the palace wall. However, they did not stop and walked directly towards Chongzheng Hall. The setting sun dragged the three people's figures on the ground very, very long. The figures walked away.
, disappearing into the shadows.
On top of the city, Chen Bin and Zhu Zhirong were already talking to Lin Jue.
"Master Lin, I don't know what you want to say to us?" Chen Bin and Zhu Zhirong stood side by side behind the battlements, and Chen Bin replied loudly.
Lin Jue cupped his hands from afar and said with a smile: "Master Chen, Master Zhu, long time no see, how are you?"
Chen Bin cupped his hands and returned the courtesy: "Mr. Lin, you are polite."
Zhu Zhirong cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Lin, you are well and well, and your demeanor is just like when you were in Kaifeng Mansion."
Lin Jue laughed and said: "Yes, Master Zhu didn't mention Kaifeng Mansion, I almost forgot. Back then I was a criminal officer in Kaifeng Mansion, Master Zhu was still my boss. Hahaha, it feels like yesterday when I think about it.
Time really flies by, how many years have passed in the blink of an eye? Four or five years ago, right?"
Zhu Zhirong said solemnly: "For five years."
Lin Jue said: "Master Zhu has a good memory. Master Chen, does he still know this brother next to me? But you are also familiar people back then."
Ma Bin, who was standing on horseback next to Lin Jue, let out a loud laugh and laughed loudly toward the city, "Isn't that true? Chen Bin is my superior, Ma Bin. He was still the commander of the Imperial City Division's troops and horses back then. Now,
It is said that once you become the Privy Councilor, you will not be able to keep up with the promotion. Congratulations to Mr. Chen."
Of course Chen Bin recognized Ma Bin. Ma Bin was not a small role in the Imperial City Division back then. He was one of the deputy commanders. Although this guy didn't like him, he had good abilities and martial arts. He had always hoped to win over him.
.It’s a pity that he failed to do so in the end, and this person got together with Lin Jue.
"It turns out to be Mr. Ma. Haha, it looks like we are all one family." Chen Bin laughed and said.
"Who is your family?" Lin Jue scolded sharply.
Chen Bin and Zhu Zhirong were both stunned, frowning and thinking, this guy fell out of love faster than flipping through a book. Just a moment ago, they were building friendship, but in the blink of an eye, they turned against each other and stopped recognizing each other.
Then Lin Jue continued to say: "You two were important ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You were favored by the late emperor. You did not want to repay it. Instead, you helped Zhou to do evil and followed the thief Lu to steal the country and rebel. Don't you have the slightest feeling of shame? You two
Do you want to follow the old thief Lu and live in infamy for thousands of years? According to me, Chen Bin, your ancestor is loyal and good, and Chen Linggong, the founding general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is your ancestor. He led the army to break the city in the attack on the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he is a meritorious official of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Didn't what you did today bring shame to your Chen family? If Chen Linggong knew it well, I'm afraid he wouldn't recognize you as an unfilial descendant. And you, Mr. Zhu. You also come from a prominent family, and the Zhu family is a member of the family.
How many good generals and ministers are there? Not to mention the two brothers Zhu PeiDe and Zhu PeiDe of the Jinxiu Dynasty. Zhu PeiDe was the minister of humerus and once served as deputy prime minister. Zhu PeiDe was the general of Bianzhen and was worshiped as deputy privy envoy. Both of them are
Is he your grandfather? When it comes to your generation, you have brought shame on them. You follow a gangster like Lu Zhongtian and become his disciple, which is a disgrace to your ancestors. In less than three generations, you will
You have ruined the reputation of your Zhu family. What do you think you have the face to stand here? You still told me that we are a family? Who is a family with you two incompetent wasteful things? You have not insulted us. We
I'm ashamed to have ever served as an official with you."
Lin Jue's merciless ridicule and sarcasm made Zhu Zhirong and Chen Bin red-faced and angry. If
It’s okay that what Lin Jue said is false, but what Lin Jue said is true. Chen Bin’s ancestors and Zhu Zhirong’s ancestors were both famous people, but their family fortunes were in decline, and they had actually declined by their generation.
They had their own difficulties, but when Lin Jue said this, it seemed that they were looking down on themselves and wanted to take a wrong path. In fact, the two of them also walked step by step to where they are today.
Time was pushed away by the situation, and in the end there was no turning back.
"Lin Jue! Don't be rude. It's not your turn to take care of our affairs. Don't think that today's situation is under your control, so you can point fingers at us and accuse us. I won't accept your tricks. You don't care.
What? Are you here to point fingers at me?" Chen Bin shouted angrily.
Lin Jue laughed and said: "Who has time to take care of you? I just feel sorry for you. You have a good future and a good Zhou official, but you have become the lackey of the old thieves. You may have had difficulties before, but the old thieves have all ascended to the throne.
When you become emperor and you still persist in your obsession, isn't that just seeking death?"
Zhu Zhirong shouted: "Lin Jue, don't talk sarcastically. The winner is a prince and the loser is a thief. You just have the advantage and you are dictating to us. If the situation is reversed, what will you do? It's just bad luck."
Lin Jue sneered and said: "Bad luck? It's you who have offended the way of heaven. God won't help you. You are still stubborn. I originally wanted to give you a chance to make atonement for your sins and make you meritorious. I didn't expect that you two idiots are still stubborn. Look.
There is no need to give you a chance. I knew that talking to you would be nonsense. You will not shed tears until you see the coffin. I don’t need to talk to you anymore. I will just talk to you with a sword in a while. If you lose your head, you will not stop.
You’re just quibbling.”
After Lin Jue finished speaking, he waved his hands as if he was about to turn his horse and leave. Zhu Zhirong and Chen Bin looked at each other, with the same mind, and shouted almost at the same time: "Master Lin, please stay!"
Lin Jue turned around and said, "What? What did you two say before you died?"
Chen Bin smacked his lips and winked, gesturing for Zhu Zhirong to speak. Zhu Zhirong cursed secretly in his heart and shouted: "What did Mr. Lin just say? What opportunity do you want to give the two of us to make meritorious service and atone for our sins? It's unclear. Can you please make it clear?"
What? To avoid misunderstanding."
Lin Jue sneered and said: "But you are asking this? I originally planned to give you a chance. After all, you are just the accomplices of the old thief. Maybe you were coerced by the old thief to do some bad things. To be honest, although you two
It’s disappointing, but I haven’t really found out that you have too many bad deeds, so I’m willing to give you a chance. If my army wants to attack the palace, it will inevitably use firearms, which will cause damage to the Ouchi Palace. If you resist, you will inevitably
It will also cause a lot of casualties. God is kind and we don't want to kill too many of Dazhou's own people. After all, the soldiers are not guilty. The Imperial Palace in Dauchi is the holy land of Dazhou. The new emperor wants to settle here, and we don't want to damage it.
.So I originally thought that if you were willing to do meritorious service, switch sides in front of the battle, and take the old thief and surrender to us, we might give you a chance to avoid you. But now it seems that you two are stubborn and it seems that it is not necessary.
, It’s all in vain, it’s better to attack immediately. Death is inevitable, and the palace walls are destroyed and then repaired. There’s nothing you can do about it.”
Chen Bin and Zhu Zhirong looked at each other after hearing this, and both saw undisguised ecstasy in each other's eyes.
