A burst of anger made a "hissing" sound, as if a fountain shot out from its broken neck. Thick blood splattered onto the table, on the ground, on the bodies of several people nearby, and even on the beams about a squaint of ochre were dyed with a tragic ochre red color.
The skull rolled in the middle of the hall, with the bun leaning against the ground, the muscles and blood vessels at the neck were still twitching, and streams of blood were squeezed out and flowing randomly. The face with cracked eyes turned towards the sky, barely recognizing that the head was the newly appointed team leader of Lu Yao, who was originally a dead soldier under the command of the King of Chengdu, and Bai Xu, who had been lurking in Jisang's army for many years.
Hu Liuniang screamed for a while, then covered her mouth suddenly, holding back the scream.
The two team leaders sitting behind Bai Xu kicked the table in front of him and jumped up. These two were Bai Xu's confidant, Hou Zhen and Cao Jingzong, both of whom were extremely brave and fierce characters. But they had not yet had time to do the next move. Xiao Shi, a Bingzhou warrior who was very close to them, instantly drew his sword, pressing the blade behind their necks, causing them to lie on the ground.
In addition to Hou and Cao, several people were able to participate in the military discussion. They also exchanged glances with each other in panic, and each of them held the hilt of the knife. They were about to rise, but Chen Peili shouted like a sudden sound: "Don't move!" Chen Pei was the second second in Ji Sang's position to Liu Fei and Bai Xu, and was also a high-ranking official under the former King of Chengdu, who had prestige. When he yelled like this, everyone's emotions became a little calmer.
The next moment, Shao Xu realized. After all, he was a literati, so how could he endure such a cruel beheading scene suddenly appeared in front of him? Although he tried his best to remain calm, his knees and legs were weak and he fell to the ground. Opposite Shao Xu, Ding Yu frowned and was about to get up to help him. However, he heard Ding Miao chuckling and waved his hand and made a downward gesture, so Ding Yu took his seat again.
At this time, Bai Xu's headless corpse was still kneeling. After losing central nervous system control, the body was filled with feces and urine, emitting a faint stench. Xue Tong raised her feet and kicked the corpse over, calmly putting the knife back into the sheath. This action caused the Jisang tribe to descend and tremble for the body.
"Brothers! The man surnamed Lu burned the bridges across the river and killed people indiscriminately..." Hou Zhen, who was crushed to the ground with his back arm, shouted a little.
Xiao Shi flew up and punched his teeth, pressing the blade hard to his throat: "Don't want to die too early, don't talk or move."
"General Lu, what do you mean?" Chen Pei stood up from the seat. He looked at Xue Tong and turned to Lu Yao for a deep voice.
After all, Chen Pei had an old friend with Lu Yao, so he was not very panicked even in such a situation. However, the cold light shining in his one-eye was obviously not calm. Behind him, several team leaders gathered in a group, and their vigilant posture was fully visible.
In the direction Chen Pei was staring, Lu Yao slowly stood up with his hands on the desk.
"Don't worry, this place is not a Hongmen Banquet, and there are no ambushing hundreds of knives and axes. You may as well sit down and listen to my explanation patiently?" Lu Yao stepped down from the hall, not minding that his steps were stepping in the pool of blood, making a "click" sound. He smiled and said, "I just said it, this matter is a long story... Everyone, sit down."
Lu Yao was always so polite and polite, completely different from those fierce men from the ranks. But suddenly, everyone felt that they might as well sit down and listen to what he said.
"In the chaos in Yecheng a few days ago, we were able to kill Ji Sang and recover Yecheng. Although we rely on the soldiers to use their lives, the key lies in the help of Lu Zhi, the former king of Chengdu, who was the leader of Lu Zhi." Lu Yao nodded to Chen Pei and others and said: "You are all smart people, and you must have understood this."
Ding Miao, Xue Tong and others naturally knew about this matter. Among Ji Sang's descendants, Hou Zhen and Cao Jingzong were participants in the fight. As for Chen Pei and others, most of them witnessed the wonderful effect of the four-sided white tiger banners. However, this topic became a taboo after the war in Yecheng. After all, Sima Yue, the powerful King of East China Sea, was the mortal enemy of the King of Chengdu. If it were not necessary, no one would promote this matter and make him feel uncomfortable.
At this moment, Lu Yao made the matter publicly and immediately caused a slight commotion among the people in the hall.
Lu Yao completely ignored everyone with different expressions and continued: "When joining hands with me to fight Ji Sang, Lu Zhi made a suggestion to me. Based on the death of King Xincai, the power of the court in Yecheng was almost collapsed. He hoped to rely on the connection between Lu and the Qihuo Li Yun, supplemented with the troops of King Yu of Chengdu, to recapture Yecheng, and support the prince of Chengdu Sima Mao to fight against King Donghai. Hehe, if this plan is done, the situation in the world will be overturned again. The strategic methods of this great strategist are indeed as great as the rumor."
"Why is Lu Zidao like this?" Shao Xu asked in extreme surprise: "Since the power of the King of Chengdu was declining, the subordinates of the past had long been scattered, so how could they gather? Besides, the Hu people are eyeing each other and the court is weak, how can they withstand such civil strife? If the prince really takes over Yecheng and uprising, it will be difficult for Hebei, Central Plains to begin! Besides..." Shao Xu hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice: "How dare Lu Zidao cooperate with you with General? Did he forget what he said after the defeat of Shiheng Gong?"
Although Shao Xu was so scared by Xue Tong's violent methods that his legs were weak, his eyes were still accurate. After a few words, he talked about several major issues in Lu Zhi's plan.
"What Lu thought was just like Mr. Shao, so he immediately rejected Lu Zidao's suggestion. For the benefit of one person, one person will harm the world. How dare Lu do this? This man suffered a year of torture in the dark Weijun prison city, and he was afraid that his thoughts would become a little extreme." Lu Yao smiled bitterly and walked back and forth in the hall. If it were Lu Yao's real view, extremeness would be considered light, and it seemed to be more appropriate to describe it as mania.
"Mr. Shao naturally knew the hatred between Lu and Lu Zhi in Wu County. The dozens of lives of Shilong were destroyed by this king. If this revenge was not avenged, Lu had no face to face the elders of Jiangdong." Lu Yao pressed his temples with some headaches: "However, in the battle outside Jianchun Gate, tens of thousands of people saw Lu raise all the white tiger banners to defeat the enemy. If this matter cannot be explained clearly, it will hinder me and the Duke of Yueshi in Bingzhou, so he cannot leave Lu Zhi. Secondly, Lu Zidao finally came to an end.
I saved my life several times... Alas, how to deal with him really made me embarrassed. Therefore, I could only temporarily detain him in my own military camp. Unexpectedly, after just one day, he escaped from the military camp. Lu Zhizhi had a lot of tricks and was difficult to control. Since he escaped, he was swimming in the sea like a fish. During those days, Lu tried his best to guess where he would stay, and he spent some time. Fortunately, I then discovered that Liu Fei and Bai Xu were very clear about Lu Zidao's movements."
He stood before Bai Xu's head and looked at it with regret: "The fourteen dead soldiers who were sent by Lu Zidao in the Jisang team have been lost after many years of military service. The only ones who responded to the secret code of the White Tiger Banner outside Jianchun Gate and survived the subsequent war were Liu Fei and Bai Xu. These two are truly loyal people. They have experienced so much in the chaotic situation and are still loyal to their old masters. Lu admires them very much."
"What a pity..." Lu Yao looked at the hideous face that turned gray and yellow because of the loss of blood. Bai Xu was definitely a person with extraordinary talent under Ji Sang, who was able to be a confidant under the command of Ji Sang, who was a fierce personality. In the past few days after leading his army north, Lu Yao and Bai Xu had contacted Bai Xu many times and had great expectations for him.
"Bring it up!" Lu Yao raised his voice a little.
"Yes!" The young officer who came in was Zhu Sheng. Judging from his response speed, he had obviously been waiting outside the door for a long time. The generals and schoolmen in the hall were in agitation. No one thought why Zhu Sheng, who should have been in front of the army, suddenly appeared here.
Following Zhu Sheng, more than ten soldiers with tough expressions were seen. Some of the more careful generals noticed that these people were all warriors in Bingzhou and soldiers from Yecheng. They came in with two ragged and shackled men. Seeing the terrible appearance of the two, they seemed to have experienced terrible torture and torture.
"Brother Qingnian, you may think these people are together. But Hou Zhen and Cao Jingzong must have recognized them." Lu Yao smiled sarcastically: "When I was in Yecheng, Bai Xu never found an opportunity to hand over Lu Zhi, and my army left Yecheng was much faster than he thought. Therefore, Bai Xu could only send his confidant to go to Yecheng to meet Lu Zhi overnight, and then sneak back with various covers. Fortunately, I was prepared for this. In the past few days, I sent the elite cavalry to round up and finally caught these messengers."
Chen Pei shook his head and said, "Even if the leader of the team Bai contacts the old leader, he will be too guilty to die. General Lu..."
Lu Yao raised his hand to stop Chen Pei's words: "If I were just missing the old master, this was a righteous act, and I, Lu Yao, would never blame me. But Brother Qingnian, knew that because I heard that the chaos in Yecheng began, Ding Shao, the governor of Jizhou, led an army of 50,000 to go south at night, and the troops in the front had arrived in Guangzong. What if Bai Xu and others were ordered by Lu Zhi to plan to provoke a conflict between our army and the troops in Jizhou, or even fight?"
"What?" More than one person exclaimed.
