Treacherous ministers have deep routines
Chapter 423 The Underworld Is Waiting For You
Lin Rang was about to heal Wu Yan's wound, but Wei Man ran away with sourness, rushed forward, and said, "Or you will be alone."
Lin Rang asked suspiciously, "Duke Wei is here?"
Wei Man said sincerely: "Brother Wu Yan is hurt like this. I blame myself alone. I really can't bear it. If I don't help someone, I will feel sorry."
What Wei Man said was full of kindness, as if he was not a warrior who shocked the battlefield, but a philanthropist instead.
Wu Yan even told him that he was dumbfounded, Wei Gong suddenly became so "gentle and affectionate", isn't he usually very ruthless?
Lin Rang glanced at him again, Wei Man rushed up, took the work from Lin Rang, and said, "If you come alone, you can do it well."
As he spoke, he gave Wu Yan the wound medicine with his own hands.
Lu Jinyu watched from the side, could he not see Wei Man's little thoughts?
Although Lin Rang is usually very introverted and a delicate and transparent person, in fact Lin Rang is very "dull" in terms of human relationships and sophistication, so he didn't see Wei Man's careful thinking for a while.
Lu Jinyu said, "Let me do it."
When Wei Man heard this, he was very willing, the key is that the injured himself was also willing, so the matter was settled.
Lu Jinyu took the wound medicine and gave it to Wu Yan himself.
Wu Yan said, "Hiss—it hurts! Be gentle, hiss... hiss..."
Wu Yan kept gasping, like a poor child, but Lin Rang couldn't help it, and said, "Young General Wu, your injury is not too serious, so there is no need to filter it."
Wu Yan: "..."
Wu Yan hurriedly said to Lu Jinyu: "Jinyu, don't listen to my lord, I am the most aware of the injury, it hurts very much, please be gentle, and give me another blow."
Lu Jinyu "smiled" all over her face, and said kindly, "Then I... how about rubbing it for you again?"
When Wu Yan saw him smile, everything lost its color. Lu Jinyu, who was "brilliant", didn't even think about it, and said, "Okay, okay... okay..."
As soon as he said this, he suddenly raised his voice and screamed "Hiss—"
Looking down, it turned out that it was Lu Jinyu who really pressed on his wound. Wu Yan shuddered in pain, and woke up like a dream.
Lu Jinyu said flatly, "I've already been hurt, so I'm not being honest."
Only then did Wu Yan come to his senses, and said submissively, "Okay, okay, I'm honest, Jinyu, help me take the medicine, it really hurts, don't you feel bad?"
Lu Jinyu said, "I only know the pain now? When the fire burned you, why didn't you know the pain?"
Lin Rang and Wei Man looked at Lu Jinyu and Wu Yan flirting and scolding, Lin Rang didn't think much of it, after all he was ignorant of the world and didn't know much about it, but Wei Man was different, his teeth almost gave them sour up.
Wei Man pulled Lin Rang and said, "Let's go, let's not get in the way here. I'm afraid the burn will be half healed in an instant when Young General Wu sees Mr. Lu."
Wei Man pulled Lin Rang out and gave Wu Yan and Lu Jinyu a chance to be alone.
As soon as the two people came out, Mr. Duan Su walked towards them, as if he was looking for them.
Wei Man frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
Mr. Duan Su bowed and said: "My lord, Wu Zitai, the prefect of Huaxiang, has been shouting and arrogant since he was imprisoned, and threatened to see the lord."
Wei Man glanced at Lin Rang, because Mr. Duan Su said before that Wei Man had an "old relationship" with Wu Zitai, so Lin Rang kept eating, and Wei Man was deeply hurt by it, so he didn't dare to act rashly again.
Now that he heard about Wuzitai, he looked at Lin Rang.
Lin Rang said: "It's better for Duke Wei to go to the prison and see Wuzitai. Now this is a military camp. If Wuzitai yells and disturbs the morale of the army, it will be bad."
Wei Man felt that it made sense, so he said to Lin Rang, "You go with Gu."
Lin Rang didn't have any objections, and the two went to the cell together.
This is a marching barracks, and everything is simple camping. Although there are cells, they are not very particular, and naturally there is no sound insulation.
Before the two entered, they heard the shouting voice of Wu Zitai.
"I want to see you Duke Wei!!"
"Let Wei Man come over!"
"Wei Man and I are close friends! How dare you neglect me so much!"
"Call your Duke Wei over here! I have something to say to him!"
Wuzitai yelled, and then heard the footsteps of "Shushasha". He thought it was another soldier coming, so he yelled even louder, saying, "If you are sensible, call your Wei Gong over here! I and your Wei Gong are friends of eight obeisances." Brother Tie, if you neglect me, let me see how you end up!?"
Lin Rang said in a flat voice: "Oh? I also want to see how the general will end up blowing the cowhide to the sky."
Wu Zitai was startled when he heard the voice, and turned his head suddenly, the chains on his body made a "cracking" sound.
"Children from Luzhou!"
With a loud shout, Wu Zitai jumped up from the cell, the chains rattling loudly, rushed to the fence, and stared at Lin Rang viciously.
Wei Man stopped Lin Rang, for fear that Lin Rang would be hurt by Wu Zitai.
But in fact, it’s all worrying. After all, Wu Zitai is locked in the cell, and he is still wearing a chain. Lin Rang swaggered around, with a very "arrogant" appearance, standing outside the cell, although he was not condescending, but he was superior and squinted. His eyes squinted at Wu Zitai.
Wu Zitai knocked on the cell door and shouted, "Young Luzhou! I warn you, let me out, otherwise..."
"How about otherwise?"
Lin Rang said indifferently: "Bite me?"
Wei Man: "..."
When his words fell, Wu Zitai in the cell stopped, as if he felt that Lin Rang was too shameless, and couldn't figure it out for a while.
When Wu Zitai reacted, he yelled angrily, and said, "Luzhou boy! If you have the ability to fight me for [-] rounds, what can you do to show off your tongue!"
Lin Rang tidied up his sleeves and said, "Now you are my prisoner, why should I use force? Quick words are enough."
Wuzitai was not Lin Rang's opponent, so he yelled again in anger, making Wei Man's ears almost deaf and buzzing.
Wu Zitai looked at Wei Man and said, "Wei Gong! We are brothers who worshiped the master. In the old days in the capital, others looked down on you, but I, Wu Zitai, regarded you as a brother! Have you forgotten this friendship? ?”
Friendship...
Good guy, the friendship is coming up.
Wei Man immediately glanced at Lin Rang, feeling very guilty, and quickly explained in a low voice, "It's not what you think."
Lin Rang said lightly: "Oh? I haven't thought about it yet."
Wei Man: "..."
Wei Man coughed, and said, "Wu Zitai, although you and Gu were close friends, but you are too thoughtful and ambitious to take in the remaining traitors of Chen Zhonglu openly. How can you deal with the painstaking efforts of the master? Gu Gu I am so disappointed in you!"
Wei Man was full of justice, and said: "It's because of your acquaintance with Gu, that Gu didn't kill you immediately today. Although you are unkind, unrighteous, loyal and unfilial, Gu's heart is still flesh and blood. Yes, I can't bear it, so..."
He said something sweet, and he described himself as a living god descending to earth, then changed his voice, and continued: "I have already decided, I will go to the imperial court, and let the Lord personally decide."
"Wei Man!!"
Hearing this, Wu Zitai yelled: "Wei Man!! You can't do this! You and I are sworn brothers, what did we say when we sworn brothers!? Now it doesn't count?! I was just confused for a while, you not only Don't miss the old love, but you still want to go to the court, Wei Man, you can't be so heartless!"
Wei Man smiled faintly, and said: "Wuzitai, it's your fault... you don't have the skills, but you insist on taking on this job. Chen Zhonglu usurped the emperor, and the world punished him, but you insisted on coveting Chen Zhonglu's 30 yuan. Yubu is an enemy of the imperial court. Thirty thousand...not [-], why are you so short-sighted?"
Wei Man, the one who made trouble when he was in trouble, made a "tsk tsk" sound at the end and sighed a lot.
Wei Man turned his head to look at Lin Rang, and said: "Gu and Wu Zitai, the criminal servant, were indeed friends of eight worshipers in the past, so now we have to avoid suspicion, and leave this matter of the book to the governor."
Lin Rang arched his hands indifferently and said, "Thank you."
"Wei Man!!"
Seeing that they were about to leave, Wuzitai yelled: "Wei Man, stop!! Wei Man! You can't leave, let's talk again, I still have a lot of jewels in my deposit, I'll give them to you!"
Wei Man is really not rare at all, jewelry?
He even got the eunuch's treasure, so what jewels do he care about?
Xuanyang, the imperial palace.
"My lord, Xuanyang Lieutenant Wei Zixiu, see you."
The little emperor was sitting on the dragon chair in the hall, holding the bamboo slips submitted by the ministers in his hand, and was reviewing them.
He heard the sound and slowly raised his head.
Wei Man and Lin Rang have been away from the capital for some time now, the little emperor is just at the age of growth, he is much taller than before, his face is more handsome, just like his mother.
The little emperor threw the bamboo slips in his hand on the table with a "slap", and said, "I haven't seen Lieutenant Wei for a long time, let him come in."
"Yes, Lord."
With the sound of "treading" footsteps, the door of the palace opened, and a young man in a scarlet velvet robe and cloak strode in from outside.
He is tall and straight, his steps are swift and sharp, and his face is resolute with a refined handsomeness. Unlike the little emperor, the longer Xuanyang Lieutenant Wei Zixiu grows, the more handsome and resolute he becomes.
When the little emperor saw Wei Zixiu, he waved and said, "The lieutenant is here, please sit down."
Wei Zixiu saluted first, and said respectfully: "Wei Zixiu pays homage to the Lord, and the Lord will last for ten thousand years."
The little emperor personally helped Wei Zixiu up, held Wei Zixiu's hand, looked at him with a smile, and said, "In the past, you were an official, and you could always be by my side. Now, in a flash, you are already Lieutenant Xuanyang. Even though I stayed in Xuanyang City, you are here to guard this huge Xuanyang City, and the burden on your shoulders is unattainable. On the contrary, the time we meet is very little, as if you are not by my side Same."
The little emperor sighed softly, and Wei Zixiu listened with lowered eyes.
Indeed, although they grew up together as childhood sweethearts, the little emperor has grown up and has his own thoughts. Wei Zixiu has been named Lieutenant of Xuanyang, and he has to deal with a lot of business every day. How can he meet the little emperor often? emperor.
This coming and going, also became divided.
The little emperor was just emotional, and said: "The lieutenant came to see me in person, I'm afraid there is something wrong?"
Wei Zixiu nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Exactly, my lord, Huaizhong urgently reports. It's urgent."
As he spoke, he raised the urgent report above his head respectfully, knelt on one knee on the ground, and handed it to the little emperor.
The little emperor unfolded the urgent report slips and saw that it was Lin Rang who reported Wu Zitai.
The little emperor glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Okay! Both the Duke of Wei and the governor have lived up to my expectations. They have taken down the rebels in Chen Zhonglu, and captured the leader of the rebels, Wu Zitai."
As he spoke, he turned around and sat next to the Dragon Chair table, stretched his sleeves and sat down, picked up a pen, reviewed it on the urgent paper, and then put down the brush with a "da!".
The voice said faintly: "Wuzitai does not respect the will of heaven, does not respect the gods, and helps the tyrant and the rest of Chen Zhonglu. It is really not tolerated by the heavens. I... have to follow the will of the heavens and pass on my will so that the Hussar general Wei Man, Destroy Wuzitai personally, pay homage to the military flag, and honor the army!"
"Yes!"
Wei Zixiu knelt down to accept the order, and respectfully accepted the memorial that the little emperor had reviewed.
Wei Zixiu took the order and quickly withdrew.
Not long after he withdrew, he heard someone outside the hall say: "My lord, General Wei Tong Cheng is asking to see you."
The little emperor straightened his robes and said, "See you."
Soon, a middle-aged man with a long beard strode in from the outside, knelt on the ground and saluted, and said, "Humble general Tong Cheng, pay homage to the lord!"
The little emperor stood up and said with a smile, "Why is uncle so polite? Please hurry up."
The little emperor called Tong Cheng, the general of the guard, to be his uncle. Needless to say, the relationship between relatives.
Tong Cheng's surname is Tong, and many people will be the first to think of Tong Gao who was in Xuanyang before the chaos.
Tong Cheng did have some connection with Tong Gao. When Tong Gao was still in power, Tong Cheng was his subordinate.
But Tong Cheng and Tong Gao are just of the same clan, Tong Cheng's real identity is the nephew of Queen Mother Tong.
The Empress Dowager Tong is the grandmother of the little emperor, and Tong Cheng is a member of the Tong family's relatives. Although the Empress Dowager Tong is no longer alive, the power of the Tong family still remains. Tong Cheng wants to revive the Tong family. Run to the palace.
Tong Cheng is now General Wei, this official position is the position of the emperor's cronies, in charge of the imperial army, commander of troops and horses, gold seal and purple ribbon, and is also a high-ranking official above ten thousand people, his rank is much higher than that of Wei Zixiu.
The little emperor smiled and said: "Uncle is here today, I don't know what it is?"
Tong Cheng said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing serious, but I haven't seen the master these days, and I'm very worried about it."
The little emperor smiled and said, "Uncle Lao is thinking about it."
Tong Cheng organized his speech, and then said: "My lord, I heard that Wei Gong captured Wuzitai and made another great contribution to the court!"
The little emperor gave a faint "hmm".
Tong Cheng said with a smile: "This Duke Wei has made more and more contributions, and his achievements are getting bigger and bigger. The voice... is getting louder and louder!"
How could the little emperor fail to hear that there was something in his words, but he didn't make a sound, and Tong Cheng said again: "Xuanyang Lieutenant Wei Zixiu is Wei Gong's adopted son, and his voice in Beijing is not low. Could it be... the owner will not Are you worried?"
The little emperor smiled and said, "Oh? What are you worried about? Duke Wei's surname is not Tong, are you worried that he will become the second Tong Gao?"
When the little emperor said this, it was tantamount to naming Tong Cheng. After all, Tong Cheng's surname was Tong!
Tong Cheng's face was a little embarrassed, and he quickly knelt down and said, "Master, Bei Chen is sincere, and the world can learn from it!"
The little emperor said: "Hey, uncle, what do you mean by this? I don't mean to blame you, please hurry up."
Seeing that he touched a stone, Tong Cheng changed the subject, and said with a smile: "Master, you see that the lord is in power now, but the harem is empty and withered. Although I am a servant, I was entrusted by Queen Mother Tong on the deathbed. Dare to forget her old man's words? When will the master... prepare to take the little girl into the palace?"
Tong Cheng is the nephew of Empress Dowager Tong. When Empress Dowager Tong was alive, she loved the little emperor very much. Many people directly called the little emperor Tonghou, not because the little emperor was named Tong, but because the little emperor was deeply loved by Empress Dowager Tong. pet.
In order to consolidate the status of the little emperor and her relatives in the Tong family, Queen Mother Tong once made a verbal promise that when the little emperor grew up, she would let him accept Tong Cheng's daughter.
It was a verbal baby kiss.
Now that Empress Dowager Tong is gone, Tong's family is not as powerful as before, and the little emperor's surname is not Tong, so he just doesn't mention this matter, Tong Cheng is naturally a little anxious.
The little emperor squinted his eyes and said: "Nowadays there are internal and external troubles, the court is unstable, and the world is in turmoil. How can I care about these matters of love between children? If Tong Qianjin is brought into the palace, she will be wronged for nothing. , let’s talk about this later.”
The little emperor added a sentence after he was gone, saying: "If Tong Qianjin has someone he likes, then there is no need to wait for me."
When Tong Cheng heard it, the meaning of the little emperor's resignation was obvious, and he was very anxious.
The little emperor didn't give him a chance, and said, "Uncle, is there anything else to do? If not, I'm tired."
Tong Cheng has already been ordered to expel the guest, there is nothing else he can do, so he can only bite the bullet and say: "Yes, yes, my humble minister will resign."
Tong Cheng has entered the palace several times, and proposed to the little emperor to let his daughter into the palace, but the little emperor refused all of them.Euphemistic, obvious, there are all kinds of ways to refuse.
Tong Cheng withdrew from the hall, and within a few steps, he met Xuanyang lieutenant Wei Zixiu.
Wei Zixiu had already left, but because of something, he stopped in his tracks and was talking to someone.
When Tong Cheng came over, the man just left, Wei Zixiu cupped his hands and said, "General Wei."
Tong Cheng squinted at Wei Zixiu, and said in a calm voice: "Lieutenant, you are someone close to the emperor, and you should also persuade the master on weekdays. The master has reached his age, but he has not What does the heir of the harem look like? Even if you are busy with government affairs, you should think about it, right?"
Wei Zixiu listened, his eyes flickered, but he didn't answer.
Tong Cheng raised his hand, patted Wei Zixiu's shoulder lightly, and said, "Lieutenant, you see, we are all loyal and dedicated to the Holy Majesty. If you persuade the Holy Majesty, when the time comes, the little girl will become a queen, and you will be fine." Surely you will not forget the goodness of the lieutenant, will you?"
Wei Zixiu just listened, and said flatly: "General Wei, the last general has something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Wei Man soon received the imperial decree, the emperor ordered Wei Man to kill Wuzitai with his own hands, and use his head and blood to pay homage to the military flag, so as to cheer up the allied forces and take Yanzhou in one go.
Wei Man read the imperial decree, just in time to see Lin Feng, and said, "Where is your adoptive father?"
Lin Feng already knew Lin Rang's identity clearly, so Wei Man did not hide it from Lin Feng.
Lin Feng said: "Go back to my lord, I just went to the pharmacy, and I should still be there. If my lord has something to do, I'll call my adoptive father here."
"no no."
Wei Man waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, don't go."
Wei Man just asked, he felt more at ease when Lin Rang wasn't there, the matter of Wuzitai was very troublesome, and he didn't want Lin Rang to ask any more questions, anyway, now that he had taken the imperial decree, he directly cut down Wuzitai, which was justified.
Wei Man stood up, stepped on his Yitian sword, and went straight out of the tent of the shogunate, heading for the cell.
"Squeak-"
Pushing away the cells, Wei Man strolled in leisurely.
Wu Zitai was locked inside, much thinner than the previous days, with slightly sunken cheeks, he seemed to have no energy, and fell to the ground in a daze.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he suddenly raised his head, saw that it was Wei Man, rushed up quickly, grabbed the fence and said, "Wei Gong! Wei Gong, you are here! Are you here to see me?!"
"I knew it, we are brothers at the turn of eight worships, how could you be so cruel?"
"Wei Gong, let me out quickly, as long as you let me out, I will make all my brothers submit to Wei Gong!"
Wei Man said indifferently: "Wu Zitai, you may have misunderstood. Your soldiers and horses have already surrendered, but they did not surrender to me, but to the governor of Luzhou."
"what!?"
Wu Zitai was taken aback, and shouted, "Impossible! My brothers are all strong and strong, how could it be possible to submit to others?"
Wei Man sneered in his heart, then you underestimate Lin Rang too much.
Wei Man said lightly: "We are brothers, and I will not hide it from you alone. The emperor has decreed that your head and blood will be used to pay homage to the military flag."
"Bang!"
As soon as Wei Man's words fell, Wu Zitai suddenly fell to the ground, his eyes were dazed, and his face was blank, as if he had lost his soul.
Wu Zitai was stunned for a moment, then rushed up again, and said excitedly: "Wei Gong! We are brothers! We have been sworn brothers, you can't be so cruel! Wei Gong! Please save me, I know I was wrong, save me!" I will save it!"
"That's right! Wei Gong, I have a younger sister who is as beautiful as a flower. Wei Gong loves beauty and loves fragrance. I will betroth my younger sister to Wei Gong, how about it?"
"Please, Duke Wei, raise your hand high!"
When Wei Man heard this, he thought to himself that it was fortunate that Lin Rang was not by his side, otherwise there would be another explosion!
Just when Wei Man was so rejoicing, he heard a sneer of "Ha--", very lightly.
Not only Wu Zitai was taken aback, but Wei Man was also taken aback, really wishing he could jump up.
Because this voice is very elegant, but also exuding a sense of austerity and indifference, isn't it Lin Rang?
Lin Rang's voice came from outside the cell, and said: "What a veteran who has shocked the battlefield, is this how General Wu uses women as bargaining chips? It's shameless!"
What Wu Zitai said just now was really shameless. Before that, he wanted to betroth his younger sister to Wu Yan, but now he has transferred his sister to Wei Man. In Wu Zitai's eyes, this sister is probably just a bargaining chip for contacting forces.
Wu Zitai saw Lin Rang, who was different from his usual arrogance. He was very frightened and said palely, "Lu...the governor of Luzhou..."
A few days ago, he was still called a child in Luzhou, but now he has changed his title.
Lin Rang said lightly: "It's too late to regret it now, isn't it?"
When Wu Zitai heard Lin Rang's words, his back felt numb, and he shuddered for no reason, and said, "You...you evil spirit! It's worse for you! I, Wu Zitai, have rolled on the battlefield all my life and made great achievements. Now that you have ended up like this, how can you think that you are a treacherous minister?!"
"I will die today! Well, I will wait for you in Huangquan! Let's see how long you can last!"
"Don't think that now the owner and Wei Man are at your mercy. One day, when your interests collide, you will turn against each other!"
"Just watch! Watch!"
Wei Man's expression turned cold when he heard Wuzitai's clamor, and he would drag himself as a backrest when he was about to die.
Lin Rang was very calm, as if he didn't hear Wu Zitai's curse.
But Lin Rang did hear it.
Lin Rang said in a calm voice: "I don't know who I will turn against in the future, but what I know is that no matter what, you won't be able to see it."
Hearing Lin Rang's words, Wu Zitai shuddered suddenly, as if falling into an ice cave...
"Sacrificial flag!"
"Sacrificial flag!"
"Sacrifice flag—"
Next to the Yamen flag in the camp, Wei Man ordered Mr. Duan Su to read out the imperial decree and sprinkle the blood of Wuzitai on the flagpole.
The morale of the soldiers was high because they captured Huaxiang County. Wei Man decided to take advantage of this time to mobilize the allied forces to attack Yanzhou in one go.
At this moment, someone suddenly yelled: "Report——!"
"General Wu has returned with the letter of war!"
"General Wu is back!"
Wu De is back!
A few days ago, Lin Rang recommended Wu De to Yanzhou to send the letter of war. In fact, the purpose is very simple, and he wants Wu De to go and never return.
But they didn't expect Wu De to be so capable. Not long ago, they got the news that Wu De did not die in Yanzhou. Chen Ji failed to kill him and let Wu De escape from birth.
I have to say that Lin Rang really admired him a little bit, he was already forced to this point, and Wu De's desire to survive was really strong.
The messenger shouted, and the crowd made a commotion and whispered.
Hearing the sound of "treading" horseshoes, the horses rushed into the camp together, but it was not as glamorous as everyone imagined.
Wu De was dressed in the dust, lost a lot of weight, and darkened a lot, as if he had traveled in the desert.
He rushed in on horseback and almost fell off the horseback, extremely embarrassed.
Looking at Wu De's appearance, he also knows that he was not released from Chen Ji's hands, but...
run away.
Wu De once again resorted to housekeeping skills and escaped.
But Wu De packed his bags, took a team of soldiers and horses that Wu Yan gave him, and was about to go to Yanzhou to send the letter of war.
Wu De is an extremely insightful person, he knows in his heart that Chen Ji and Wei Man are just an old soup in muddy water, and they can't figure it out.
In short, whether there is Chen Ji but no Wei Man, and there is Wei Man but no Chen Ji, it is a matter of time.
As for Wude, it is the cannon fodder.
Although Xiao Lingxiang begged his elder brother for help, Wu Yan also sent a team of soldiers and horses to Wu De, but Wu Yan didn't really help Wu De, he also had his own ideas, if the baby sister is so determined, let her give up up.
At this point, Wu Yan and Lin Rang thought of going together, and they both wanted Wu De to go without returning.
Even a little wolf dog like Wu Yan knew Lin Rang's thoughts, so could Wu De not know?
Before he left, he had already seen through it, so he had been making plans.
Wu Deguan Wei Man borrowed some money to buy the engagement banquet, and there was still about half of it left. He took the money and didn't use it for himself. Instead, he worked tirelessly to bribe an official in Yanzhou.
Wu De devoted all his belongings to the official, just begging him to say something nice to him when the time comes.
Seeing so much money, the official felt that Wu De was just a small soldier who sent a letter of war. It would not be too much to kill him, and it would be a lot if he was not killed, so it was not a big deal.
When Wu De came to Yanzhou, he was immediately taken down by Chen Ji's soldiers, escorted, thrown into a cell to die, and he didn't even see Chen Ji.
However, Wu De had been prepared for a long time, and the officials who accepted the bribes found Chen Ji, and they understood him with reason and emotion.
He said that Wu De had always been at odds with Wei Man. When Wei Man attacked Tanzhou a few days ago, Wu De belonged to Tan Zhou. Later, Wei Man arrested him and escaped several times.
When Huaizhong was attacked, Wei Man sent Wu De to farm.
All this shows that their relationship is very tense.
After hearing this, Chen Ji felt that it made sense.
The official also said, Wu De is a small soldier, and he is an old soldier, what real ability can he have?But he really has a skill, that is, he looks good, so he is favored by Princess Lingxiang.
Today's Wu De is the quasi-husband of Princess Lingxiang, and he is short of the final marriage. Once married, Wu De will be the son-in-law of General Polu, and he will be very close to the Luzhou Army in the future.
Although Lin Rang is the governor of Luzhou, the governor is only a civil servant. Luzhou has been in the hands of the Wu family for three generations, and it is already very stable. It cannot be controlled by a governor.
To put it bluntly, the military power in Luzhou is still in the hands of the Wu family.
Now that the allied forces are preparing to attack Yanzhou, if Chen Jineng takes the opportunity to build a good relationship with Luzhou, he can draw on the bottom line and show Wei Man some color.
Chen Ji felt that what the officials said made sense. Wu De was a man who had never seen the world. If he could win Wu Dela over, he might be able to win over the Luzhou Army for his own use.
At that time, the allied soldiers will have mixed thoughts, and they only need to mediate, Yanzhou can take advantage of it, and Wei Man has nothing to fear.
Thinking of this, Chen Ji ordered Wu De to be released from the prison. Not only did he not treat Wu De harshly, but he also took care of him with good food and drink, and treated him as a distinguished guest.
If it is said that this well-behaved guest, there is a reason why he rushed back suddenly in such a desperation.
What else could be the reason?
Wu De knew that he was honored as a distinguished guest not because of Chen Ji's intention to reuse him, but because of the money he bought off the officials around Chen Ji.
It's just a matter of time. If Chen Ji finds out slowly, his son-in-law doesn't matter much in the hearts of the Wu family in Luzhou. Death, Chen Ji must be furious.
Maybe, Chen Ji will help the Wu family and behead Wu De, so that he can exchange friendship with the Wu family!
Because Wu De thought of so much, he didn't dare to eat and drink in Yanzhou at all. When he had a free time, he took out his housekeeping skills and ran away.
Knowing that Wu De escaped, Chen Ji was furious, and chased all the way, Wu De disguised himself in disguise, and was busy in the dust, which can be regarded as penetrating Chen Ji's fire line and successfully joining forces with the allied forces.
Wu De reported everything, and when everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing. They all felt that although Wu De escaped from death, this way of escaping was not done by a man, and it sounded really shameful.
When Xiao Lingxiang heard that Wu De had returned, she rushed out of the tent, shouting: "Uncle!"
She ran over while shouting, "jumped", and jumped onto Wu De, Wu De hurried to pick it up, for fear of breaking the princess, what should I do, she was already too poor to pay for it.
Xiao Lingxiang was very happy when she saw Wude, and she didn't think Wude was ashamed to escape at all, but said: "I'll just say it! Uncle is so smart! Going to Yanzhou to send the letter of war, such a narrow escape, uncle will If you are able to catch it easily, if you get hit by someone else, you will probably end up in Yanzhou! Uncle, you really beat me!"
Xiao Lingxiang kept praising Wude, but it was not very embarrassing to praise Wude.
Seeing that Princess Lingxiang "loves" Wu De so much, others dare not say anything due to the face of the Luzhou Army, and feel a little cold for a while.
Wei Man made a haha, and said with a smile: "Everyone, General Wu has returned smoothly, and the letter of war has been delivered. Son, let’s discuss the crusade against Yanzhou together.”
"Just rely on the lord to dispatch!"
Everyone immediately arched their hands and agreed, their hearts were like a bright mirror. It was just a cover to clean up Wude's dust, and they wanted to discuss matters in Yanzhou.
"Uncle," Xiao Lingxiang said with a smile, "Go and talk in Xiang'er's tent, Xiang'er has a lot of things she wants to say to uncle!"
When Wu De heard it, he and Princess Lingxiang were not married yet, if he entered the tent of Princess Lingxiang, what would it be like?
Wu De then bite the bullet and said: "Princess, the humble general is exhausted and wants to rest first, but I don't know the princess..."
Xiao Lingxiang did not doubt that he was there, she patted the back of the head, and said: "Yes! Uncle must be tired, he should take a rest, go and rest first!"
After Wu De cupped his hands, he turned and left.
Lin Rang and Wei Man watched Wu De leave, Wei Man laughed in a low voice and said, "It seems that your 'poison trick' has not succeeded, there are quite a lot of martial arts tricks."
If there are not many tricks, how can we divide the world with Wei Man?
Wu De has gone through so many tests, and it is estimated that the Wu family will have no choice but to accept this son-in-law if they want to kill them all. After all, who will Xiao Lingxiang like?
Yang Yue was in charge of bringing back a batch of grain and grass from Huaizhong. When he arrived at the gate of the camp, everyone had already dispersed, and he missed the excitement of offering military flags and Wude.
Yu Ziyuan, governor of Daizhou, met Yang Yue at the gate of the camp. As soon as Yang Yue came in, he smiled and said, "Hey, I've been away for a few days. How do you think I don't want to?"
Yang Yue doesn't have a straight face, and he "molested" Yu Ziyuan as soon as they met, but Yu Ziyuan said frankly, "Of course I want to."
Yang Yue was taken aback, clearly teasing Yu Ziyuan, unexpectedly Yu Ziyuan's answer would be so serious, now it is Yang Yue who looks confused.
Yang Yue was stunned, his cheeks gradually turned red, like boiled crabs.
"That...I..."
Yang Yue quickly changed the subject and said, "I heard that Wu De is back?"
As he said, he asked his generals to be responsible for transporting the grain and grass to the granary, and then he followed Yu Ziyuan and walked in, gossiping as he walked, and said: "I heard on the way that Wu De came back from Yanzhou, so it is true." no?"
Yu Ziyuan nodded and said: "I'm back, it's just a matter of time, I just arrived."
Yang Yue laughed, patted Yu Ziyuan on the shoulder, and said, "I also heard that he came back from a refugee. He looked like a refugee with ragged clothes. He was almost stopped by the guards at the gate of the city!"
Yu Ziyuan said, "I've never heard of that."
"Hi!"
Yang Yue waved his hand and said: "You don't know, the soldiers at the gate of the city are talking about it. This Wude, if you want a general to look like a general, and there are no three soldiers and two jujubes under his command, it is not small, and he looks like a dog. Son, coax Princess Lingxiang to turn around."
"Hiss..." Yang Yue took a breath, and said with a sigh: "You said, I am also handsome and masculine, why is there no princess or princess who has taken a fancy to me?"
He sighed unreservedly, and suddenly felt a cold gaze poking over him, and when he looked up, he happened to collide with Yu Ziyuan's gaze.
Yang Yue: "..."
Yu Ziyuan said lightly: "Emotional Yang Gong doesn't want to make meritorious deeds, but wants to climb the high branch of the Princess Princess?"
Hearing Yu Ziyuan's tone, Yang Yue felt something was wrong, not only sour, but also very cold.
Yang Yue said with a "haha" dry smile, "I...I was joking, what kind of princess or princess, I...I don't even like it."
Yu Ziyuan glanced at Yang Yue, and said lightly: "Then Yang Gong, who can you fall in love with?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Yue blushed for no reason, coughed, and said, "Can you control it?"
He said, and ran away, as if Yu Ziyuan behind him was some kind of scourge.
Seeing the two leave, a figure silently turned out from behind the tent next to it.
Lin Rang asked suspiciously, "Duke Wei is here?"
Wei Man said sincerely: "Brother Wu Yan is hurt like this. I blame myself alone. I really can't bear it. If I don't help someone, I will feel sorry."
What Wei Man said was full of kindness, as if he was not a warrior who shocked the battlefield, but a philanthropist instead.
Wu Yan even told him that he was dumbfounded, Wei Gong suddenly became so "gentle and affectionate", isn't he usually very ruthless?
Lin Rang glanced at him again, Wei Man rushed up, took the work from Lin Rang, and said, "If you come alone, you can do it well."
As he spoke, he gave Wu Yan the wound medicine with his own hands.
Lu Jinyu watched from the side, could he not see Wei Man's little thoughts?
Although Lin Rang is usually very introverted and a delicate and transparent person, in fact Lin Rang is very "dull" in terms of human relationships and sophistication, so he didn't see Wei Man's careful thinking for a while.
Lu Jinyu said, "Let me do it."
When Wei Man heard this, he was very willing, the key is that the injured himself was also willing, so the matter was settled.
Lu Jinyu took the wound medicine and gave it to Wu Yan himself.
Wu Yan said, "Hiss—it hurts! Be gentle, hiss... hiss..."
Wu Yan kept gasping, like a poor child, but Lin Rang couldn't help it, and said, "Young General Wu, your injury is not too serious, so there is no need to filter it."
Wu Yan: "..."
Wu Yan hurriedly said to Lu Jinyu: "Jinyu, don't listen to my lord, I am the most aware of the injury, it hurts very much, please be gentle, and give me another blow."
Lu Jinyu "smiled" all over her face, and said kindly, "Then I... how about rubbing it for you again?"
When Wu Yan saw him smile, everything lost its color. Lu Jinyu, who was "brilliant", didn't even think about it, and said, "Okay, okay... okay..."
As soon as he said this, he suddenly raised his voice and screamed "Hiss—"
Looking down, it turned out that it was Lu Jinyu who really pressed on his wound. Wu Yan shuddered in pain, and woke up like a dream.
Lu Jinyu said flatly, "I've already been hurt, so I'm not being honest."
Only then did Wu Yan come to his senses, and said submissively, "Okay, okay, I'm honest, Jinyu, help me take the medicine, it really hurts, don't you feel bad?"
Lu Jinyu said, "I only know the pain now? When the fire burned you, why didn't you know the pain?"
Lin Rang and Wei Man looked at Lu Jinyu and Wu Yan flirting and scolding, Lin Rang didn't think much of it, after all he was ignorant of the world and didn't know much about it, but Wei Man was different, his teeth almost gave them sour up.
Wei Man pulled Lin Rang and said, "Let's go, let's not get in the way here. I'm afraid the burn will be half healed in an instant when Young General Wu sees Mr. Lu."
Wei Man pulled Lin Rang out and gave Wu Yan and Lu Jinyu a chance to be alone.
As soon as the two people came out, Mr. Duan Su walked towards them, as if he was looking for them.
Wei Man frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
Mr. Duan Su bowed and said: "My lord, Wu Zitai, the prefect of Huaxiang, has been shouting and arrogant since he was imprisoned, and threatened to see the lord."
Wei Man glanced at Lin Rang, because Mr. Duan Su said before that Wei Man had an "old relationship" with Wu Zitai, so Lin Rang kept eating, and Wei Man was deeply hurt by it, so he didn't dare to act rashly again.
Now that he heard about Wuzitai, he looked at Lin Rang.
Lin Rang said: "It's better for Duke Wei to go to the prison and see Wuzitai. Now this is a military camp. If Wuzitai yells and disturbs the morale of the army, it will be bad."
Wei Man felt that it made sense, so he said to Lin Rang, "You go with Gu."
Lin Rang didn't have any objections, and the two went to the cell together.
This is a marching barracks, and everything is simple camping. Although there are cells, they are not very particular, and naturally there is no sound insulation.
Before the two entered, they heard the shouting voice of Wu Zitai.
"I want to see you Duke Wei!!"
"Let Wei Man come over!"
"Wei Man and I are close friends! How dare you neglect me so much!"
"Call your Duke Wei over here! I have something to say to him!"
Wuzitai yelled, and then heard the footsteps of "Shushasha". He thought it was another soldier coming, so he yelled even louder, saying, "If you are sensible, call your Wei Gong over here! I and your Wei Gong are friends of eight obeisances." Brother Tie, if you neglect me, let me see how you end up!?"
Lin Rang said in a flat voice: "Oh? I also want to see how the general will end up blowing the cowhide to the sky."
Wu Zitai was startled when he heard the voice, and turned his head suddenly, the chains on his body made a "cracking" sound.
"Children from Luzhou!"
With a loud shout, Wu Zitai jumped up from the cell, the chains rattling loudly, rushed to the fence, and stared at Lin Rang viciously.
Wei Man stopped Lin Rang, for fear that Lin Rang would be hurt by Wu Zitai.
But in fact, it’s all worrying. After all, Wu Zitai is locked in the cell, and he is still wearing a chain. Lin Rang swaggered around, with a very "arrogant" appearance, standing outside the cell, although he was not condescending, but he was superior and squinted. His eyes squinted at Wu Zitai.
Wu Zitai knocked on the cell door and shouted, "Young Luzhou! I warn you, let me out, otherwise..."
"How about otherwise?"
Lin Rang said indifferently: "Bite me?"
Wei Man: "..."
When his words fell, Wu Zitai in the cell stopped, as if he felt that Lin Rang was too shameless, and couldn't figure it out for a while.
When Wu Zitai reacted, he yelled angrily, and said, "Luzhou boy! If you have the ability to fight me for [-] rounds, what can you do to show off your tongue!"
Lin Rang tidied up his sleeves and said, "Now you are my prisoner, why should I use force? Quick words are enough."
Wuzitai was not Lin Rang's opponent, so he yelled again in anger, making Wei Man's ears almost deaf and buzzing.
Wu Zitai looked at Wei Man and said, "Wei Gong! We are brothers who worshiped the master. In the old days in the capital, others looked down on you, but I, Wu Zitai, regarded you as a brother! Have you forgotten this friendship? ?”
Friendship...
Good guy, the friendship is coming up.
Wei Man immediately glanced at Lin Rang, feeling very guilty, and quickly explained in a low voice, "It's not what you think."
Lin Rang said lightly: "Oh? I haven't thought about it yet."
Wei Man: "..."
Wei Man coughed, and said, "Wu Zitai, although you and Gu were close friends, but you are too thoughtful and ambitious to take in the remaining traitors of Chen Zhonglu openly. How can you deal with the painstaking efforts of the master? Gu Gu I am so disappointed in you!"
Wei Man was full of justice, and said: "It's because of your acquaintance with Gu, that Gu didn't kill you immediately today. Although you are unkind, unrighteous, loyal and unfilial, Gu's heart is still flesh and blood. Yes, I can't bear it, so..."
He said something sweet, and he described himself as a living god descending to earth, then changed his voice, and continued: "I have already decided, I will go to the imperial court, and let the Lord personally decide."
"Wei Man!!"
Hearing this, Wu Zitai yelled: "Wei Man!! You can't do this! You and I are sworn brothers, what did we say when we sworn brothers!? Now it doesn't count?! I was just confused for a while, you not only Don't miss the old love, but you still want to go to the court, Wei Man, you can't be so heartless!"
Wei Man smiled faintly, and said: "Wuzitai, it's your fault... you don't have the skills, but you insist on taking on this job. Chen Zhonglu usurped the emperor, and the world punished him, but you insisted on coveting Chen Zhonglu's 30 yuan. Yubu is an enemy of the imperial court. Thirty thousand...not [-], why are you so short-sighted?"
Wei Man, the one who made trouble when he was in trouble, made a "tsk tsk" sound at the end and sighed a lot.
Wei Man turned his head to look at Lin Rang, and said: "Gu and Wu Zitai, the criminal servant, were indeed friends of eight worshipers in the past, so now we have to avoid suspicion, and leave this matter of the book to the governor."
Lin Rang arched his hands indifferently and said, "Thank you."
"Wei Man!!"
Seeing that they were about to leave, Wuzitai yelled: "Wei Man, stop!! Wei Man! You can't leave, let's talk again, I still have a lot of jewels in my deposit, I'll give them to you!"
Wei Man is really not rare at all, jewelry?
He even got the eunuch's treasure, so what jewels do he care about?
Xuanyang, the imperial palace.
"My lord, Xuanyang Lieutenant Wei Zixiu, see you."
The little emperor was sitting on the dragon chair in the hall, holding the bamboo slips submitted by the ministers in his hand, and was reviewing them.
He heard the sound and slowly raised his head.
Wei Man and Lin Rang have been away from the capital for some time now, the little emperor is just at the age of growth, he is much taller than before, his face is more handsome, just like his mother.
The little emperor threw the bamboo slips in his hand on the table with a "slap", and said, "I haven't seen Lieutenant Wei for a long time, let him come in."
"Yes, Lord."
With the sound of "treading" footsteps, the door of the palace opened, and a young man in a scarlet velvet robe and cloak strode in from outside.
He is tall and straight, his steps are swift and sharp, and his face is resolute with a refined handsomeness. Unlike the little emperor, the longer Xuanyang Lieutenant Wei Zixiu grows, the more handsome and resolute he becomes.
When the little emperor saw Wei Zixiu, he waved and said, "The lieutenant is here, please sit down."
Wei Zixiu saluted first, and said respectfully: "Wei Zixiu pays homage to the Lord, and the Lord will last for ten thousand years."
The little emperor personally helped Wei Zixiu up, held Wei Zixiu's hand, looked at him with a smile, and said, "In the past, you were an official, and you could always be by my side. Now, in a flash, you are already Lieutenant Xuanyang. Even though I stayed in Xuanyang City, you are here to guard this huge Xuanyang City, and the burden on your shoulders is unattainable. On the contrary, the time we meet is very little, as if you are not by my side Same."
The little emperor sighed softly, and Wei Zixiu listened with lowered eyes.
Indeed, although they grew up together as childhood sweethearts, the little emperor has grown up and has his own thoughts. Wei Zixiu has been named Lieutenant of Xuanyang, and he has to deal with a lot of business every day. How can he meet the little emperor often? emperor.
This coming and going, also became divided.
The little emperor was just emotional, and said: "The lieutenant came to see me in person, I'm afraid there is something wrong?"
Wei Zixiu nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Exactly, my lord, Huaizhong urgently reports. It's urgent."
As he spoke, he raised the urgent report above his head respectfully, knelt on one knee on the ground, and handed it to the little emperor.
The little emperor unfolded the urgent report slips and saw that it was Lin Rang who reported Wu Zitai.
The little emperor glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Okay! Both the Duke of Wei and the governor have lived up to my expectations. They have taken down the rebels in Chen Zhonglu, and captured the leader of the rebels, Wu Zitai."
As he spoke, he turned around and sat next to the Dragon Chair table, stretched his sleeves and sat down, picked up a pen, reviewed it on the urgent paper, and then put down the brush with a "da!".
The voice said faintly: "Wuzitai does not respect the will of heaven, does not respect the gods, and helps the tyrant and the rest of Chen Zhonglu. It is really not tolerated by the heavens. I... have to follow the will of the heavens and pass on my will so that the Hussar general Wei Man, Destroy Wuzitai personally, pay homage to the military flag, and honor the army!"
"Yes!"
Wei Zixiu knelt down to accept the order, and respectfully accepted the memorial that the little emperor had reviewed.
Wei Zixiu took the order and quickly withdrew.
Not long after he withdrew, he heard someone outside the hall say: "My lord, General Wei Tong Cheng is asking to see you."
The little emperor straightened his robes and said, "See you."
Soon, a middle-aged man with a long beard strode in from the outside, knelt on the ground and saluted, and said, "Humble general Tong Cheng, pay homage to the lord!"
The little emperor stood up and said with a smile, "Why is uncle so polite? Please hurry up."
The little emperor called Tong Cheng, the general of the guard, to be his uncle. Needless to say, the relationship between relatives.
Tong Cheng's surname is Tong, and many people will be the first to think of Tong Gao who was in Xuanyang before the chaos.
Tong Cheng did have some connection with Tong Gao. When Tong Gao was still in power, Tong Cheng was his subordinate.
But Tong Cheng and Tong Gao are just of the same clan, Tong Cheng's real identity is the nephew of Queen Mother Tong.
The Empress Dowager Tong is the grandmother of the little emperor, and Tong Cheng is a member of the Tong family's relatives. Although the Empress Dowager Tong is no longer alive, the power of the Tong family still remains. Tong Cheng wants to revive the Tong family. Run to the palace.
Tong Cheng is now General Wei, this official position is the position of the emperor's cronies, in charge of the imperial army, commander of troops and horses, gold seal and purple ribbon, and is also a high-ranking official above ten thousand people, his rank is much higher than that of Wei Zixiu.
The little emperor smiled and said: "Uncle is here today, I don't know what it is?"
Tong Cheng said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing serious, but I haven't seen the master these days, and I'm very worried about it."
The little emperor smiled and said, "Uncle Lao is thinking about it."
Tong Cheng organized his speech, and then said: "My lord, I heard that Wei Gong captured Wuzitai and made another great contribution to the court!"
The little emperor gave a faint "hmm".
Tong Cheng said with a smile: "This Duke Wei has made more and more contributions, and his achievements are getting bigger and bigger. The voice... is getting louder and louder!"
How could the little emperor fail to hear that there was something in his words, but he didn't make a sound, and Tong Cheng said again: "Xuanyang Lieutenant Wei Zixiu is Wei Gong's adopted son, and his voice in Beijing is not low. Could it be... the owner will not Are you worried?"
The little emperor smiled and said, "Oh? What are you worried about? Duke Wei's surname is not Tong, are you worried that he will become the second Tong Gao?"
When the little emperor said this, it was tantamount to naming Tong Cheng. After all, Tong Cheng's surname was Tong!
Tong Cheng's face was a little embarrassed, and he quickly knelt down and said, "Master, Bei Chen is sincere, and the world can learn from it!"
The little emperor said: "Hey, uncle, what do you mean by this? I don't mean to blame you, please hurry up."
Seeing that he touched a stone, Tong Cheng changed the subject, and said with a smile: "Master, you see that the lord is in power now, but the harem is empty and withered. Although I am a servant, I was entrusted by Queen Mother Tong on the deathbed. Dare to forget her old man's words? When will the master... prepare to take the little girl into the palace?"
Tong Cheng is the nephew of Empress Dowager Tong. When Empress Dowager Tong was alive, she loved the little emperor very much. Many people directly called the little emperor Tonghou, not because the little emperor was named Tong, but because the little emperor was deeply loved by Empress Dowager Tong. pet.
In order to consolidate the status of the little emperor and her relatives in the Tong family, Queen Mother Tong once made a verbal promise that when the little emperor grew up, she would let him accept Tong Cheng's daughter.
It was a verbal baby kiss.
Now that Empress Dowager Tong is gone, Tong's family is not as powerful as before, and the little emperor's surname is not Tong, so he just doesn't mention this matter, Tong Cheng is naturally a little anxious.
The little emperor squinted his eyes and said: "Nowadays there are internal and external troubles, the court is unstable, and the world is in turmoil. How can I care about these matters of love between children? If Tong Qianjin is brought into the palace, she will be wronged for nothing. , let’s talk about this later.”
The little emperor added a sentence after he was gone, saying: "If Tong Qianjin has someone he likes, then there is no need to wait for me."
When Tong Cheng heard it, the meaning of the little emperor's resignation was obvious, and he was very anxious.
The little emperor didn't give him a chance, and said, "Uncle, is there anything else to do? If not, I'm tired."
Tong Cheng has already been ordered to expel the guest, there is nothing else he can do, so he can only bite the bullet and say: "Yes, yes, my humble minister will resign."
Tong Cheng has entered the palace several times, and proposed to the little emperor to let his daughter into the palace, but the little emperor refused all of them.Euphemistic, obvious, there are all kinds of ways to refuse.
Tong Cheng withdrew from the hall, and within a few steps, he met Xuanyang lieutenant Wei Zixiu.
Wei Zixiu had already left, but because of something, he stopped in his tracks and was talking to someone.
When Tong Cheng came over, the man just left, Wei Zixiu cupped his hands and said, "General Wei."
Tong Cheng squinted at Wei Zixiu, and said in a calm voice: "Lieutenant, you are someone close to the emperor, and you should also persuade the master on weekdays. The master has reached his age, but he has not What does the heir of the harem look like? Even if you are busy with government affairs, you should think about it, right?"
Wei Zixiu listened, his eyes flickered, but he didn't answer.
Tong Cheng raised his hand, patted Wei Zixiu's shoulder lightly, and said, "Lieutenant, you see, we are all loyal and dedicated to the Holy Majesty. If you persuade the Holy Majesty, when the time comes, the little girl will become a queen, and you will be fine." Surely you will not forget the goodness of the lieutenant, will you?"
Wei Zixiu just listened, and said flatly: "General Wei, the last general has something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Wei Man soon received the imperial decree, the emperor ordered Wei Man to kill Wuzitai with his own hands, and use his head and blood to pay homage to the military flag, so as to cheer up the allied forces and take Yanzhou in one go.
Wei Man read the imperial decree, just in time to see Lin Feng, and said, "Where is your adoptive father?"
Lin Feng already knew Lin Rang's identity clearly, so Wei Man did not hide it from Lin Feng.
Lin Feng said: "Go back to my lord, I just went to the pharmacy, and I should still be there. If my lord has something to do, I'll call my adoptive father here."
"no no."
Wei Man waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, don't go."
Wei Man just asked, he felt more at ease when Lin Rang wasn't there, the matter of Wuzitai was very troublesome, and he didn't want Lin Rang to ask any more questions, anyway, now that he had taken the imperial decree, he directly cut down Wuzitai, which was justified.
Wei Man stood up, stepped on his Yitian sword, and went straight out of the tent of the shogunate, heading for the cell.
"Squeak-"
Pushing away the cells, Wei Man strolled in leisurely.
Wu Zitai was locked inside, much thinner than the previous days, with slightly sunken cheeks, he seemed to have no energy, and fell to the ground in a daze.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he suddenly raised his head, saw that it was Wei Man, rushed up quickly, grabbed the fence and said, "Wei Gong! Wei Gong, you are here! Are you here to see me?!"
"I knew it, we are brothers at the turn of eight worships, how could you be so cruel?"
"Wei Gong, let me out quickly, as long as you let me out, I will make all my brothers submit to Wei Gong!"
Wei Man said indifferently: "Wu Zitai, you may have misunderstood. Your soldiers and horses have already surrendered, but they did not surrender to me, but to the governor of Luzhou."
"what!?"
Wu Zitai was taken aback, and shouted, "Impossible! My brothers are all strong and strong, how could it be possible to submit to others?"
Wei Man sneered in his heart, then you underestimate Lin Rang too much.
Wei Man said lightly: "We are brothers, and I will not hide it from you alone. The emperor has decreed that your head and blood will be used to pay homage to the military flag."
"Bang!"
As soon as Wei Man's words fell, Wu Zitai suddenly fell to the ground, his eyes were dazed, and his face was blank, as if he had lost his soul.
Wu Zitai was stunned for a moment, then rushed up again, and said excitedly: "Wei Gong! We are brothers! We have been sworn brothers, you can't be so cruel! Wei Gong! Please save me, I know I was wrong, save me!" I will save it!"
"That's right! Wei Gong, I have a younger sister who is as beautiful as a flower. Wei Gong loves beauty and loves fragrance. I will betroth my younger sister to Wei Gong, how about it?"
"Please, Duke Wei, raise your hand high!"
When Wei Man heard this, he thought to himself that it was fortunate that Lin Rang was not by his side, otherwise there would be another explosion!
Just when Wei Man was so rejoicing, he heard a sneer of "Ha--", very lightly.
Not only Wu Zitai was taken aback, but Wei Man was also taken aback, really wishing he could jump up.
Because this voice is very elegant, but also exuding a sense of austerity and indifference, isn't it Lin Rang?
Lin Rang's voice came from outside the cell, and said: "What a veteran who has shocked the battlefield, is this how General Wu uses women as bargaining chips? It's shameless!"
What Wu Zitai said just now was really shameless. Before that, he wanted to betroth his younger sister to Wu Yan, but now he has transferred his sister to Wei Man. In Wu Zitai's eyes, this sister is probably just a bargaining chip for contacting forces.
Wu Zitai saw Lin Rang, who was different from his usual arrogance. He was very frightened and said palely, "Lu...the governor of Luzhou..."
A few days ago, he was still called a child in Luzhou, but now he has changed his title.
Lin Rang said lightly: "It's too late to regret it now, isn't it?"
When Wu Zitai heard Lin Rang's words, his back felt numb, and he shuddered for no reason, and said, "You...you evil spirit! It's worse for you! I, Wu Zitai, have rolled on the battlefield all my life and made great achievements. Now that you have ended up like this, how can you think that you are a treacherous minister?!"
"I will die today! Well, I will wait for you in Huangquan! Let's see how long you can last!"
"Don't think that now the owner and Wei Man are at your mercy. One day, when your interests collide, you will turn against each other!"
"Just watch! Watch!"
Wei Man's expression turned cold when he heard Wuzitai's clamor, and he would drag himself as a backrest when he was about to die.
Lin Rang was very calm, as if he didn't hear Wu Zitai's curse.
But Lin Rang did hear it.
Lin Rang said in a calm voice: "I don't know who I will turn against in the future, but what I know is that no matter what, you won't be able to see it."
Hearing Lin Rang's words, Wu Zitai shuddered suddenly, as if falling into an ice cave...
"Sacrificial flag!"
"Sacrificial flag!"
"Sacrifice flag—"
Next to the Yamen flag in the camp, Wei Man ordered Mr. Duan Su to read out the imperial decree and sprinkle the blood of Wuzitai on the flagpole.
The morale of the soldiers was high because they captured Huaxiang County. Wei Man decided to take advantage of this time to mobilize the allied forces to attack Yanzhou in one go.
At this moment, someone suddenly yelled: "Report——!"
"General Wu has returned with the letter of war!"
"General Wu is back!"
Wu De is back!
A few days ago, Lin Rang recommended Wu De to Yanzhou to send the letter of war. In fact, the purpose is very simple, and he wants Wu De to go and never return.
But they didn't expect Wu De to be so capable. Not long ago, they got the news that Wu De did not die in Yanzhou. Chen Ji failed to kill him and let Wu De escape from birth.
I have to say that Lin Rang really admired him a little bit, he was already forced to this point, and Wu De's desire to survive was really strong.
The messenger shouted, and the crowd made a commotion and whispered.
Hearing the sound of "treading" horseshoes, the horses rushed into the camp together, but it was not as glamorous as everyone imagined.
Wu De was dressed in the dust, lost a lot of weight, and darkened a lot, as if he had traveled in the desert.
He rushed in on horseback and almost fell off the horseback, extremely embarrassed.
Looking at Wu De's appearance, he also knows that he was not released from Chen Ji's hands, but...
run away.
Wu De once again resorted to housekeeping skills and escaped.
But Wu De packed his bags, took a team of soldiers and horses that Wu Yan gave him, and was about to go to Yanzhou to send the letter of war.
Wu De is an extremely insightful person, he knows in his heart that Chen Ji and Wei Man are just an old soup in muddy water, and they can't figure it out.
In short, whether there is Chen Ji but no Wei Man, and there is Wei Man but no Chen Ji, it is a matter of time.
As for Wude, it is the cannon fodder.
Although Xiao Lingxiang begged his elder brother for help, Wu Yan also sent a team of soldiers and horses to Wu De, but Wu Yan didn't really help Wu De, he also had his own ideas, if the baby sister is so determined, let her give up up.
At this point, Wu Yan and Lin Rang thought of going together, and they both wanted Wu De to go without returning.
Even a little wolf dog like Wu Yan knew Lin Rang's thoughts, so could Wu De not know?
Before he left, he had already seen through it, so he had been making plans.
Wu Deguan Wei Man borrowed some money to buy the engagement banquet, and there was still about half of it left. He took the money and didn't use it for himself. Instead, he worked tirelessly to bribe an official in Yanzhou.
Wu De devoted all his belongings to the official, just begging him to say something nice to him when the time comes.
Seeing so much money, the official felt that Wu De was just a small soldier who sent a letter of war. It would not be too much to kill him, and it would be a lot if he was not killed, so it was not a big deal.
When Wu De came to Yanzhou, he was immediately taken down by Chen Ji's soldiers, escorted, thrown into a cell to die, and he didn't even see Chen Ji.
However, Wu De had been prepared for a long time, and the officials who accepted the bribes found Chen Ji, and they understood him with reason and emotion.
He said that Wu De had always been at odds with Wei Man. When Wei Man attacked Tanzhou a few days ago, Wu De belonged to Tan Zhou. Later, Wei Man arrested him and escaped several times.
When Huaizhong was attacked, Wei Man sent Wu De to farm.
All this shows that their relationship is very tense.
After hearing this, Chen Ji felt that it made sense.
The official also said, Wu De is a small soldier, and he is an old soldier, what real ability can he have?But he really has a skill, that is, he looks good, so he is favored by Princess Lingxiang.
Today's Wu De is the quasi-husband of Princess Lingxiang, and he is short of the final marriage. Once married, Wu De will be the son-in-law of General Polu, and he will be very close to the Luzhou Army in the future.
Although Lin Rang is the governor of Luzhou, the governor is only a civil servant. Luzhou has been in the hands of the Wu family for three generations, and it is already very stable. It cannot be controlled by a governor.
To put it bluntly, the military power in Luzhou is still in the hands of the Wu family.
Now that the allied forces are preparing to attack Yanzhou, if Chen Jineng takes the opportunity to build a good relationship with Luzhou, he can draw on the bottom line and show Wei Man some color.
Chen Ji felt that what the officials said made sense. Wu De was a man who had never seen the world. If he could win Wu Dela over, he might be able to win over the Luzhou Army for his own use.
At that time, the allied soldiers will have mixed thoughts, and they only need to mediate, Yanzhou can take advantage of it, and Wei Man has nothing to fear.
Thinking of this, Chen Ji ordered Wu De to be released from the prison. Not only did he not treat Wu De harshly, but he also took care of him with good food and drink, and treated him as a distinguished guest.
If it is said that this well-behaved guest, there is a reason why he rushed back suddenly in such a desperation.
What else could be the reason?
Wu De knew that he was honored as a distinguished guest not because of Chen Ji's intention to reuse him, but because of the money he bought off the officials around Chen Ji.
It's just a matter of time. If Chen Ji finds out slowly, his son-in-law doesn't matter much in the hearts of the Wu family in Luzhou. Death, Chen Ji must be furious.
Maybe, Chen Ji will help the Wu family and behead Wu De, so that he can exchange friendship with the Wu family!
Because Wu De thought of so much, he didn't dare to eat and drink in Yanzhou at all. When he had a free time, he took out his housekeeping skills and ran away.
Knowing that Wu De escaped, Chen Ji was furious, and chased all the way, Wu De disguised himself in disguise, and was busy in the dust, which can be regarded as penetrating Chen Ji's fire line and successfully joining forces with the allied forces.
Wu De reported everything, and when everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing. They all felt that although Wu De escaped from death, this way of escaping was not done by a man, and it sounded really shameful.
When Xiao Lingxiang heard that Wu De had returned, she rushed out of the tent, shouting: "Uncle!"
She ran over while shouting, "jumped", and jumped onto Wu De, Wu De hurried to pick it up, for fear of breaking the princess, what should I do, she was already too poor to pay for it.
Xiao Lingxiang was very happy when she saw Wude, and she didn't think Wude was ashamed to escape at all, but said: "I'll just say it! Uncle is so smart! Going to Yanzhou to send the letter of war, such a narrow escape, uncle will If you are able to catch it easily, if you get hit by someone else, you will probably end up in Yanzhou! Uncle, you really beat me!"
Xiao Lingxiang kept praising Wude, but it was not very embarrassing to praise Wude.
Seeing that Princess Lingxiang "loves" Wu De so much, others dare not say anything due to the face of the Luzhou Army, and feel a little cold for a while.
Wei Man made a haha, and said with a smile: "Everyone, General Wu has returned smoothly, and the letter of war has been delivered. Son, let’s discuss the crusade against Yanzhou together.”
"Just rely on the lord to dispatch!"
Everyone immediately arched their hands and agreed, their hearts were like a bright mirror. It was just a cover to clean up Wude's dust, and they wanted to discuss matters in Yanzhou.
"Uncle," Xiao Lingxiang said with a smile, "Go and talk in Xiang'er's tent, Xiang'er has a lot of things she wants to say to uncle!"
When Wu De heard it, he and Princess Lingxiang were not married yet, if he entered the tent of Princess Lingxiang, what would it be like?
Wu De then bite the bullet and said: "Princess, the humble general is exhausted and wants to rest first, but I don't know the princess..."
Xiao Lingxiang did not doubt that he was there, she patted the back of the head, and said: "Yes! Uncle must be tired, he should take a rest, go and rest first!"
After Wu De cupped his hands, he turned and left.
Lin Rang and Wei Man watched Wu De leave, Wei Man laughed in a low voice and said, "It seems that your 'poison trick' has not succeeded, there are quite a lot of martial arts tricks."
If there are not many tricks, how can we divide the world with Wei Man?
Wu De has gone through so many tests, and it is estimated that the Wu family will have no choice but to accept this son-in-law if they want to kill them all. After all, who will Xiao Lingxiang like?
Yang Yue was in charge of bringing back a batch of grain and grass from Huaizhong. When he arrived at the gate of the camp, everyone had already dispersed, and he missed the excitement of offering military flags and Wude.
Yu Ziyuan, governor of Daizhou, met Yang Yue at the gate of the camp. As soon as Yang Yue came in, he smiled and said, "Hey, I've been away for a few days. How do you think I don't want to?"
Yang Yue doesn't have a straight face, and he "molested" Yu Ziyuan as soon as they met, but Yu Ziyuan said frankly, "Of course I want to."
Yang Yue was taken aback, clearly teasing Yu Ziyuan, unexpectedly Yu Ziyuan's answer would be so serious, now it is Yang Yue who looks confused.
Yang Yue was stunned, his cheeks gradually turned red, like boiled crabs.
"That...I..."
Yang Yue quickly changed the subject and said, "I heard that Wu De is back?"
As he said, he asked his generals to be responsible for transporting the grain and grass to the granary, and then he followed Yu Ziyuan and walked in, gossiping as he walked, and said: "I heard on the way that Wu De came back from Yanzhou, so it is true." no?"
Yu Ziyuan nodded and said: "I'm back, it's just a matter of time, I just arrived."
Yang Yue laughed, patted Yu Ziyuan on the shoulder, and said, "I also heard that he came back from a refugee. He looked like a refugee with ragged clothes. He was almost stopped by the guards at the gate of the city!"
Yu Ziyuan said, "I've never heard of that."
"Hi!"
Yang Yue waved his hand and said: "You don't know, the soldiers at the gate of the city are talking about it. This Wude, if you want a general to look like a general, and there are no three soldiers and two jujubes under his command, it is not small, and he looks like a dog. Son, coax Princess Lingxiang to turn around."
"Hiss..." Yang Yue took a breath, and said with a sigh: "You said, I am also handsome and masculine, why is there no princess or princess who has taken a fancy to me?"
He sighed unreservedly, and suddenly felt a cold gaze poking over him, and when he looked up, he happened to collide with Yu Ziyuan's gaze.
Yang Yue: "..."
Yu Ziyuan said lightly: "Emotional Yang Gong doesn't want to make meritorious deeds, but wants to climb the high branch of the Princess Princess?"
Hearing Yu Ziyuan's tone, Yang Yue felt something was wrong, not only sour, but also very cold.
Yang Yue said with a "haha" dry smile, "I...I was joking, what kind of princess or princess, I...I don't even like it."
Yu Ziyuan glanced at Yang Yue, and said lightly: "Then Yang Gong, who can you fall in love with?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Yue blushed for no reason, coughed, and said, "Can you control it?"
He said, and ran away, as if Yu Ziyuan behind him was some kind of scourge.
Seeing the two leave, a figure silently turned out from behind the tent next to it.
