Chapter 254

Lu Meng lifted the red hijab, her face changed slightly, and she asked anxiously, "Where is my husband? Do you know about this?"

"I'm still entertaining guests in the lobby, I know about it." Lu Ming replied truthfully.

Lu Meng breathed a sigh of relief, sat down slowly, waved her hands and said, "Brother, don't panic, I have my own opinion."

Lu Ming responded, bowed his hands and left.

After a while, Ma Di, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, opened the door and walked in. He saw Lu Meng sitting upright at the end of the bed with her hands folded and clasped on her lower abdomen, wearing a red hijab.

Ma Di walked slowly to the bed, lifted his hijab, stared at Lu Meng, and said solemnly, "Ma'am, I have something to tell you, don't be angry when you hear it."

"The city has fallen."

Lu Meng watched Ma Su silently, her almond-shaped eyes were full of resentment.

In fact, she already knew about the momentary fall of Fucheng.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Since you and I are husband and wife, why don't you tell me the truth?"

With a "thump", Ma Di knelt in front of Lu Meng's legs, imitating Liu Bei's routine, and explained in detail how he turned over all the soldiers with tricks.

At the end, she squeezed out two more tears and cried to her: "Madam, I just want to control Yulin and find a place to hide, and I hope Madam will help me accomplish this."

"..."

After hearing this, Lu Meng was speechless, and thought to herself: I have married Ma Wu as a wife, so I am his man, how can I not be with him?However, since Fucheng was controlled by bandits, then Ma Wu... probably wasn't her husband's real name.

Thinking of this, her bright almond-shaped eyes widened, she stared straight at Ma Di, and complained: "Since we are husband and wife, why do you deceive each other with false names?"

Ma Su and Lu Meng looked at each other calmly, and said frankly, "I dare not lie to Madam, my surname is Shi Shi, and I am Shi Xie's concubine."

Shi San?Shi Xie concubine?
Lu Meng fixed Ma Su's eyes tightly, her eyebrows slightly frowned.

If Shi Xie is still alive, he must be at least 95 years old, but the husband in front of him looks to be in his thirties, and he is as powerful as a dragon.

In other words, did Shi Xie have Shi San (Ma Su) only when he was in his 60s?

Lu Meng felt that this seemed unreasonable.

But can't find anything wrong with it.

Perhaps, some people are very talented, and it is unknown if they are still able to do it in their 60s.

Lu Meng suddenly thought of another question, her beautiful eyes filled with anger: "Did my second brother die at your hands?"

"No!" Ma Di hastily raised his hand to deny: "At that time, the fire was raging and the crisis was extremely serious. I advised your second brother to surrender, but your second brother refused, so he killed himself on the spot. I failed to save him..."

Lu Yin committed suicide by slaying himself. This information is correct, but it is not really "asking for death" as Ma Di said. Lu Meng felt that he had to verify it again.

There is no other reason, any son of a big family who comes out to be an official will never die for a certain emperor.

In their hearts, the family is the first.

Lu Meng stretched out her hand to support Ma Di, and said seriously, "Although I believe what my husband said, I still want to ask the four hundred captured soldiers what happened at that time?"

"It should be, it should be." Ma Di secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted outside: "Come here, bring some prisoners up."

After a while, more than a dozen captured Wu soldiers were brought in, and they knelt on the ground in unison.

Lu Ming went forward to check one by one, and it was indeed the county soldier who was captured before, so he nodded to Lu Meng.

Lu Meng looked around at the crowd and asked in a cold voice: "Let me ask you, how did you escape from the fire when the fire broke out, and how did my second brother Lu Yin kill himself, but there are lies, and we will never let you down!"

More than a dozen soldiers kowtowed and told the "truth at that time" in a hurry.

It can be summed up in one sentence: Seeing that he was about to be buried in a sea of ​​flames, Lu Yin wanted to die with all his heart, and they couldn't stop him.Just when they thought they would be burned to death together, the bandit Shisan (Ma Su) rescued them.

Seeing what everyone said was convincing, Lu Meng turned to Ma Su and asked, "My lord, why are there only a dozen of them? Where are the other soldiers?"

Ma Di shook his head and sighed: "Madam doesn't know. Although 400 people were rescued at that time, most of them were burned and died one after another in the past few days. There are only a dozen people left."

As he spoke, Ma Di signaled these people to unbutton their shirts, showing the burn scars on their bodies.

Its ferocious appearance and terror make one's heart tremble.

Lu Meng turned her head away, unable to bear to look any further.

Ma Di waved his hand to make people take the dozen or so soldiers down, and looked at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming resigned wisely and closed the door behind him.

"Madam, my condolences are changing, and I don't want my second brother to die either..." Ma Di stretched out his arms to embrace Lu Meng from behind, and comforted him with kind words.

Lu Meng closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, feeling inexplicably sad.

When Sun Ce dominated Jiangdong, he forced her great-grandfather Lu Kang to death, and now her husband wants to dominate Jiaozhou, so he forced her second brother to death.

This made her hard to let go for a while.

Fortunately, according to the current evidence, the second brother killed himself on his own initiative, not her husband, which made Lu Meng feel a little better.

On the battlefield, people are going to die after all.

It's just that Lu Meng couldn't accept that his wishful husband had become a "scholar three" for a while.

She always thought that her husband was from the Central Plains, but he turned out to be a native of Jiaozhou.

The sudden change of identity made her at a loss.

Lu Meng sat on the bed in a daze, dazed in a daze.

Ma Di quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead and exited the inner room.

Zhang Xiu, who was waiting outside, came up immediately, made a knife with his hand, and said in a low voice: "General, I have already given those dozen soldiers to... um! There is no possibility of leaking this matter."

"very good."

Ma Di nodded and came to the backyard.

A group of Wu soldiers who woke up were ordered to stand by.

It was said that they were Wu soldiers, but in fact they were all private armed forces of the Lu family and had nothing to do with Sun Quan.

When they heard that they were just standing still, all the soldiers were relieved, put down their weapons one after another, sat down on the spot, and their emotions were stable.

Ma Di walked slowly through the crowd of Wu soldiers, and came to a wing room in the backyard. The whole process was careful, not daring to be careless.He knew that he was still far away from controlling the overall situation. The current state was very dangerous, especially since he was in the middle of two thousand soldiers, and he might be attacked by a group at any time.

Therefore, Ma Di sent a group of soldiers to guard the two exits in the backyard as a precautionary measure.

……

When a ray of sunset sunlight came in from the window of the wing room, Lu Kai woke up with a jolt, turned his head and looked around, and saw Ma Di sitting leisurely by the table, picked up a pot of tea, filled the cup, Savor it carefully.

Standing beside him was a man with a dark complexion. Although this man looked unattractive, his eyes were full of decisiveness, and a broad-bladed saber was hanging from his waist.

Lu Kai hurriedly stood up and said in surprise, "Brother-in-law, it's not good! The wine...the wine is poisonous!"

"Brother, don't panic, nothing has happened." Ma Su looked at Lu Kai with a smile.

He has already dealt with Lu Meng, and now, as long as he can deal with Lu Kai, he can take full control of Yulin County and hand over the shameful county without bloodshed.

Frankly speaking, there is a huge deviation between the current situation and Ma Di's original plan

At the beginning, his plan was: kill all the Wu soldiers—that is, the Lu family's troops in Guiping City, first capture Yulin by force, and then capture Jiaoshu, Jiuzhen, and Rinan by force, so that the four The county and the land of Shu are connected into one piece.

But when he found that Lu Mengren was beautiful, attractive, and deeply attached to him, Ma Di immediately adjusted his plan and decided to win over this Lu family, and together they would become bigger and stronger, stabbing Sun Quan in the back.

For a family like the Lu family, the interests of the family must come first, and they will definitely not die loyal to Sun Quan.

However, once the plan changed, the killing of Lu Meng's second brother Lu Yin became a huge failure.

So Ma Di ordered Zhang Xiu to secretly execute most of the four hundred captured soldiers, and then brainwashed the remaining dozen or so terrified soldiers, which led to the questioning scene by Lu Meng.

Now, those dozens of soldiers have also been silenced.

This matter has been concluded, and there is no proof of death.

He was very relieved to persuade Lu Kai.

Seeing Ma Su so calm, Lu Kai came to sit down beside the case with some embarrassment, pointed at Zhang Xiu and asked, "Who is this?"

"Shixiu." Ma Di spoke very briefly, then pointed out the window, and said to Lu Kai.

"Brother, look."

Lu Kai quickly looked out.

As the current speaker of the Lu family, Lu Kai's own IQ is definitely sufficient. When he saw his own soldiers sitting in rows in the backyard, he realized something was wrong in an instant, and immediately said angrily:

"Ma Wu, what do you want?"

"Brother, correct me, my name is not Ma Wu, but Shi San." Ma Di said casually.

Lu Kai was suddenly a little confused.

It took a while to respond.

Only then did I know that my brother-in-law turned out to be the bandit Shisan who caused trouble in Yulin County, and he had already sneaked into Guiping City, captured his younger sister Lu Meng, and took control of the situation.

At this time, three imposing generals pushed open the door of the backyard wing room and walked in.

Among them, Lu Kai knew Ma Liu (Yang Wanwan), and the other two had never met.

"Then he's not called Ma Liu anymore?" Lu Kai asked, pointing at Yang Wanwan.

"His name is Yang Wanwan, and he is my general." Ma Di replied truthfully.

"These two, one named Shi Xi and the other named Shi Sheng, are also my generals."

When Lu Kai heard this, his eyes widened with anger. Although Shi San (Ma Di) is already a done deal with his sister, he is Wu Chen after all, how can he join forces with bandits?
He took a step back, held the sword on the bedside in his hand, and shouted: "Good sir, you actually played tricks on me, Lu Kai, today, either you will die or I will die."

"Come on, come on!"

Ma Di folded his arms and watched coldly for a while, then said: "Brother, stop screaming, no one will come."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! It is impossible for soldiers of my Lu family to obey your orders!" Lu Kai was a little unbelievably annoyed.

"You must have used a demon!"

"Say, how on earth did you control the soldiers of my Lu family?!"

Ma Di laughed and said, "What else could it be? Naturally, my beautiful wife gave me the order."

After hearing this, Lu Kai drew out his sword and was about to fight Ma Di with his life.

Ma Di drew out his sword casually, knocked his long sword down, and shouted: "Brother, calm down!"

Lu Kai shouted with embarrassment and anger: "Brother? I'm not your big brother, and I don't have a brother-in-law like you!"

Ma Di said calmly, "Brother, you'd better calm down, now we are grasshoppers on the same rope, live together, die together."

Lu Kai stared at Ma Di and the other five fiercely: "Who is on the same rope with you? I am Wu Chen!"

Ma Su chuckled and said with a smile: "Brother, you don't know yet. Before you passed out, I sent a letter of distress to Lu Dai, the governor of Jiaozhou, in your name, and asked him to send three thousand troops to Yu Guishui. Fight against bandits downstream—that’s me.”

Guishui downstream?

Lu Kai was startled: "So what?"

Ma Su patiently explained: "You may not know that I have cut off the river upstream. When Lu Dai's soldiers arrive, the flood will rush down, and the 3000 men and horses will disappear for a while."

Hearing this, Lu Kai let out a long sigh: "You, you are so insidious!"

Ma Su laughed: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things."

"Brother, I have wronged you to stay here for the past two days, and I will let you out after I eliminate Lu Dai."

"By the way, you'd better not try to get out of this room, my subordinates are very grumpy."

"Also, my temper is not very good, and I am not very friendly to my wife when I am angry. Once I hear that brother, you have not stayed here in peace, it is difficult to guarantee what will happen..."

After finishing speaking, Ma Su turned and walked out.
