[69 Book Bar - www.] I shook my head and said: "Anyway, they saved my life this time. They didn't reward me, but they tortured me for no reason, which is not justified in theory. So, Lian Baice and I
Let's go ask them together." Lian Baice is resourceful and very good at observing people's faces. Let him ask them together and he will be able to find out the details.
Cao Wendao said: "Otherwise, I will take dozens of brothers with me."
"No need, they rescued me earlier, so of course they didn't have any intention of harming me. They took people there, I'm afraid they would be too worried." I smiled and said, "Maybe they have other plans, just make it clear.
"
Cao Wendao said anxiously: "If they are really the remnants of Lu Gongxing's death squad, what if they want to avenge their lord?"
"No. If they want to take revenge, they will have plenty of opportunities when I am in the hands of the snake people, and they will not wait until now."
Cao Wendao thought for a moment and said, "That's right. I'll ask Lian Baice to come in."
Lian Baice is now highly valued by me in the Hengye Army, but he is too careless. If I just call a soldier to call him over, I am afraid that Lian Baice will have random thoughts. Although Cao Wendao is rude, but these places are not
Very attentive.
After a while, Cao Wendao came over with Lian Baice. After being captured by Mu Kun, he was still in shock. When he saw me, he made a big salute and said: "General Chu, at the end of the day, ten thousand generals will die. Let the general
In dangerous places..."
I said: "Brother Lian, don't say these unimportant words, come with me to ask Feng Qi."
Lian Baice was startled and said, "What's wrong?"
I summarized what Chen Zhong said, and Lian Baice frowned and said, "What did General Chen Zhong say? That's not wrong. But what are their plans?"
Cao Wendao smiled on the side and said: "The second prince has been beheaded. They fell down the tree and scattered the hozens. They probably want to surrender to the ruler."
As soon as he said these words, Lian Baice's face turned red. I knew that these words offended him again, so I hurriedly said: "As the ancients said, good birds choose trees to live in. This is what heroes do."
Let’s go.”
Lian Baice glanced at me and said nothing, but there was a look of gratitude in his eyes. It is true that a good bird chooses a tree to roost, but it cannot be said to be a heroic act. He had deserted Shaofengguan when he was in trouble.
, he probably always regretted it in his heart, so naturally he was very moved by my words.
Feng Qi and the others were resting in an empty room where the Hengye Army was stationed. As soon as we entered, Feng Qi and the others were eating steamed buns with beef. They entered Dongping City in the middle of the army, but they suffered a lot on the way.
We were eating in full swing. As soon as we walked in, they put down the steamed buns and all ten of us stood up straight.
I glanced at them and said with a smile, "Okay, General Feng."
Feng Qi was shocked and stuttered: "Chu... General Chu, are you saying you will accept us?"
I sat down and said, "Of course. But I also have something to ask you."
Feng Qi glanced at his companion, swallowed the beef and steamed buns in his mouth, and said: "General Chu, I don't think I can hide it from you. We are members of the death squad under General Lu."
It was Lian Baice's and I's turn to be surprised. I brought Lian Baice here because I wanted to make some insinuations and find out their details, but I didn't expect Feng Qi to tell them directly. I said, "Is that true? Then what did you say before?
Why didn’t you say it?”
Feng Qidao: "Since you are the last general, if you tell us directly before the war, how can you, General Chu, believe us? If you don't kill us, you are being loyal."
I laughed. Indeed, if they hadn’t saved me once, and if they had known that they were members of the Death Squadron, I wouldn’t have believed them even if they were beaten to death. I said, “Since you are under General Lu, why do you want to join our army again?”
Feng Qi suddenly smiled, with a bitterness in his smile, and said: "The defeated general really shouldn't show his face anymore. The ten of us are known as the ten swordsmen. What a villain. That time, General Lu was given the honor of His Highness the Second Highness.
He ordered us to attack the East Palace. Knowing that the chance of victory was very slim, he told us that if the battle in the East Palace was successful, we would break into the forbidden area and capture the emperor in the chaos, otherwise." He paused and said, "We are required to join Chu in the future.
Under the general’s command.”
I was shocked. Before the Second Prince's incident, I was already a confidant of Marquis Wen. As a confidant of the Second Prince, Lu Gongxing should be at odds with me. How could there be such an order? I said: "Really?"
Feng Qi said: "We brothers couldn't figure it out at first, but these days, we gradually understand what General Lu means. General Lu only said that day, when General Chu asked about the reason, he said that raising tigers is a danger, and there must be someone who can control the tigers.
Already."
I suddenly realized. Before Lu Gongxing committed suicide, he told me that Marquis Wen would one day be disobedient and asked me to be careful. He knew that if the Second Prince's affairs failed, there would be no one in the DPRK who could control Marquis Wen.
I hope someone can compete with Marquis Wen will appear, but I didn’t expect him to have such high expectations for me.
.I really don’t know what to say. In the East Palace, I had an earth-shattering fight with Lu Gongxing. I was merciless to him at that time, but he was always hesitant towards me. Maybe at that time he knew that the second prince was not a man of success.
But everyone is their own master. Once you embark on this road, there is no possibility of turning back.
I sighed and said, "General Lu, do you believe that I can take you in?"
Feng Qi hesitated for a moment and said: "We originally had our doubts and did not dare to come rashly. But General Lu said that the hero of the time was General Chu, the only one who was kind and generous. Although he and General Lu were not walking the same path, they were still on the same path as General Lu.
But the goal is the same. The future of the empire will ultimately be borne by General Chu alone."
I smiled bitterly, but my heart was tumbling with uncertainty. Lu Gongxing thought too highly of me, but could I really do what he expected? Feng Qi probably saw that I was silent, and then said: "General Chu, I don't dare to take the credit."
Shi En, if General Chu is unwilling to take us in, the generals and others will not dare to hold grudges and will grow old in the mountains and forests. I wish that would be enough."
I thought for a while and said: "Since General Feng won't give up, then stay in our army."
Feng Qi's face showed joy and he said: "Really?" All ten of them suddenly knelt down and said: "Thank you General Chu for taking me in."
They are Lu Gongxing's old subordinates. With Marquis Wen's methods, if I don't take them in, they will have no choice but to flee under aliases to a place where no one lives. They have extraordinary abilities, and Lu Gongxing must have spent a lot of effort training them.
.Attack on the East Palace, Lu Gong
Xing himself also knew that there was no chance of victory, so he probably couldn't bear to let these ten good players die in vain, so he pointed out this escape route for them. I didn't expect that Lu Gongxing would give me such a favor after his death. Maybe, it's really
The truth is that there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies.
After leaving Feng Qi's residence, Lian Baice whispered: "General Chu, do you want to hide this matter from Lord Wenhou?"
I was surprised and said: "Why do you want to hide it from Mr. Wenhou? At that time, everyone was their master, and now they are willing to contribute to the country, which is a good thing. After returning to the imperial capital, I will report it to Mr. Wenhou, and he will definitely approve it."
Back in Fudun City, I fell into Tao Shouzhuo's plan and had Xiao Xinyu killed. I didn't dare to tell Marquis Wen about it later, but Marquis Wen revealed it in one word. At that time, I was scared out of my mind. No matter where this matter comes from,
I didn't dare to hide it from Marquis Wen anymore. Lian Baice opened his mouth when he heard what I said, as if he wanted to say something more, but still didn't say anything. After a long while, he said: "General, no matter what you say, this time
