Although the other party was targeting him, Lu Heng didn't feel any hatred or anger in his heart. Instead, he felt relaxed and comfortable.
After all, if you plot against someone you don't know, you will always feel a little guilty.
However, today's great gift from King Jin finally made Lu Heng feel better.
Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being rude!
Just like before, all Lu Heng did was lay a trap on an untraveled road. But you insisted on walking up and killed me aggressively. In the end, you fell into the trap and died without a burial place, then...
You only have yourself to blame.
In the yard, the fire was blazing, and the fiery red light shone on the waiter's face, which was covered in cold sweat, and looked a little scary.
Sitting opposite, Lu Heng made a cup of tea, brought it to the waiter, and asked lightly: "Tea?"
The waiter shivered, stretched out his hand cautiously, took the tea, took a sip, raised his hand to wipe his mouth, and said with a dry smile: "Thank you!"
Lu Heng took the tea and took a sip, then said calmly: "The apricot blossoms in Taiyuan, Shanxi should have fallen in the past few days, right?"
He raised his head, glanced at the waiter, and saw him nodding with deep feeling. Lu Heng withdrew his gaze, leaned on the chair, and smiled noncommittally.
"Yes, it should be over in early April!" The waiter sighed, then suddenly realized it, with a look of fear in his eyes, and said with a dry smile: "The villain's ancestral home is in Shanxi.
So I know a thing or two!”
Lu Heng shook his head and smiled, while blowing the tea. He looked at him sideways and said with a smile: "I didn't ask anything else!"
The waiter seemed very uneasy and restless. Lu Heng shook his head in a funny way, pointed at the teacup in his hand, and said, "Drink tea, drink tea!"
The waiter smiled with lingering fear, then raised his head and looked at the scholar with a look full of vigilance.
Next to me, the charcoal fire in the stove was a little weak, and the blue smoke made my eyes hurt.
Lu Heng stood up, walked to the stove, bent down and picked up some firewood. When he was about to put it in, soldiers from the Snow Wolf Battalion took over.
Lu Heng smiled and sat down again. While patting the sawdust in his hands, he raised his head and looked at the waiter who was sitting in front of him with sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Working as an errand in Prince Jin's Mansion must be very tiring!"
Seeing the clear smile in the scholar's clear eyes, the waiter was shocked and knew that there was no point in pretending.
However, I was very surprised as to how Lu Heng concluded that he was the King of Jin.
Moreover, there is a shopkeeper here. Why does he insist that he is King Jin's man?
"Here, look at your hands!" Lu Heng took a sip of tea, raised his chin, and said vaguely.
hand?
The waiter stretched out his hand. He glanced at his clean hands, raised his head and looked at the scholar, his eyes full of doubts.
Lu Heng put down the teacup, looked at him, smiled and said: "More delicate than the shopkeeper's hands, tell me. Who is the shopkeeper here?"
Hearing this, the waiter's body shook violently, and he suddenly realized.
"I didn't expect that a flaw was revealed here!" The waiter looked at the scholar in shock for a long time. After looking away, he shook his head and said with a bitter smile. He sighed helplessly, raised his head, looked at Lu Heng and said, "Human
People say that you are so intelligent that you are almost a monster, but when I see you today, you really live up to your reputation!"
"But, how did you conclude that I am from the palace?" The waiter was very surprised. Even if he knew that he was the person in charge of this inn, he might not be able to guess that he was from the palace.
.
When asked this question, the waiter in the shop looked curiously at this scholar who was rumored to be a miraculous person by people in the circle, and he was full of puzzlement.
"Ha... Actually, I don't know either!" Lu Heng looked at the waiter's expression and smiled a little sheepishly. He spread his hands and said with a smile: "Actually, I just made a random guess. I didn't expect you to be so fast.
Just admit it!”
Guess?
Hearing this, the waiter was stunned for a moment.
Looking at the scholar's faint smile, the waiter almost died of depression.
After being depressed for a long time, the waiter suddenly burst out laughing, looking up to the sky and laughing like crazy.
"I pride myself on being extremely smart, but I turn out to be a fool!" The waiter laughed at himself, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
Seeing the waiter in the shop, he suddenly seemed to be going crazy. The bodies of the Snow Wolf Battalion soldiers guarding the surroundings suddenly tensed up, like a group of leopards ready to attack, ready to attack at any time.
When Lu Heng saw this, he waved his hand to signal the soldiers of the Snow Wolf Battalion not to be nervous.
After the waiter in the shop calmed down, Lu Heng smiled slightly, raised his hand, pointed at the chair behind him and said, "Say something?"
The waiter sat down generously, with a calm expression on his face. He was no longer as frightened as he was at the beginning. Now he showed his true character as a counselor.
"I am Wang Pinggui! I am one of the staff of His Highness the King of Jin!" The waiter straightened his clothes, cupped his fists and formally introduced himself to Lu Heng.
"Lu Heng, Lu Yongzheng!" Lu Heng nodded and replied with a smile, which was regarded as an answer.
"I have long admired your name!" Wang Pinggui smiled and looked at Lu Hengdao.
Seeing Lu Heng smiling and nodding, Wang Pinggui put down his hand. After staring at Lu Heng for a moment, he suddenly said: "Do you know why King Jin asked us to intercept and kill you here?"
"Oh?" Listening to Wang Pinggui's tone, it seemed that he also knew that the success was not high. But when asked at this time, it was obvious that there was something hidden. Lu Heng frowned and thought for a moment, but he couldn't figure it out. He cupped his fists and said:
"I hope you can teach me!
"It's very simple, delaying your arrival in Beijing!" Wang Pinggui smiled coldly.
Seeing that Lu Heng's eyes were slightly focused, as if he had thought of something, Wang Pinggui laughed and said with some pride: "Yes, the real purpose of this operation is not actually you. It is the woman in your family!"
After finishing this, Wang Pinggui looked at Lu Heng teasingly, waiting for his surprised reaction.
Lu Heng's eyes were cold and twinkling. He looked at him and said calmly: "Go on!"
Such a calm expression surprised Wang Pinggui, and he secretly speculated. Could it be that the scholar was secretly prepared?
It's impossible. This plan was devised by Princess Qinglan, and there will definitely be no mistakes. He must have forced himself to calm down and disturbed his mind.
After taking a deep breath and calming down, Wang Pinggui looked intently at the pale-faced Lu Heng and said, "If I tell you where your wife is hiding, can you let me live?"
Hearing the temptation in the other party's words, a smile appeared on Lu Heng's calm face. He squinted at Wang Pinggui and said, "Do you think Lu is a person who can be manipulated by others? Or do you think Lu
Is someone a reckless and incompetent person?"
"What do you mean by this?" Wang Pinggui's expression changed and he asked in a deep voice.
Lu Heng looked at him and smiled, picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said, "Have you ever heard of Ximen Chuixue?"
"Of course I know, he is your personal bodyguard!" Wang Pinggui looked at Lu Heng in surprise, and suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.
Yes, there are rumors outside that Ximen Chuixue is Lu Heng's personal bodyguard and stays with him every step of the way. But why didn't he see his shadow today?
Lu Heng looked at Wang Pinggui's surprised face and smiled slightly. After putting down the tea cup, he looked at him seriously and said, "It seems you have already thought of it!"
Before returning from Goryeo, Lu Heng asked Agui to take more than ten Snow Wolf Battalion soldiers back to Dazhou secretly. The mission was naturally to secretly protect Liu Qingqing. Although the emperor had also said that he would secretly protect Liu Qingqing.
Protect Liu Qingqing's safety. However, Lu Heng still felt that the strength was not enough. That's why he made such a decision.
The order Agui carried was that no one was allowed to approach Liu Qingqing except Lu Heng.
The last life-saving straw that Wang Pinggui relied on has now been lost, and his body can't help but tremble. In the face of death, no one can be calm.
Wang Pinggui swallowed hard. He raised his head and looked at the victorious scholar in front of him. In an almost pleading tone, he asked, "Will you let me live?"
Lu Heng stood up, stretched out his hand to straighten his gown, and walked to the stove. He picked up a branch and stirred the fire. He turned his head, looked at the ashen-faced Wang Pinggui, and said lightly: "Since you
He is the staff of King Jin, so let’s talk about things that the staff should know and should say!”
After making the fire brighter, Lu Heng threw the branch into the fire, clapped his hands, turned his head, looked at Wang Pinggui and said: "As for whether I can save your life, it depends on your sincerity!"
When Wang Pinggui heard this, his body shook violently.
He knew what Lu Heng said the staff should say.
However, once he said these words, even if the scholar bypassed him, King Jin would not let him go.
He lowered his head and thought, his eyes turning rapidly. Thinking of the dilemma he faced, Wang Pinggui couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
By the fire, Lu Heng glanced at Wang Pinggui indifferently. Seeing his expression, he naturally knew in his heart that he was thinking about the degree of gain and loss.
After a while, Lu Heng turned his head and continued to pick up the charcoal in the fire. With his back to Wang Pinggui, he said lightly: "Mr. Wang, I don't know if you have ever thought about the fact that the King of Jin planned to assassinate me. No matter whether it is successful or not,
No, everyone involved will definitely die. And why did His Highness King Jin choose you?"
Behind him, Wang Pinggui heard the words, his body suddenly stiffened, and his eyes looked frightened.
Lu Heng turned his head, looked at him, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Huh..., the only explanation is that your position in the heart of His Highness Prince Jin is much lighter than you think! Even..."
Lu Heng lost the smile on his face and was replaced by seriousness and seriousness. He stared at Wang Pinggui and said word by word: "Even a discarded chess piece!"
Wang Pinggui saw sweat on his forehead, and with his body weak, he slumped on the ground with a look of disbelief in his eyes. He shook his head and murmured: "No, no." His Highness King Jin also said that if it is done at this time, he will
I will let Princess Qinglan marry me! No!"
Ah……,
So that’s it!
With the beautiful Princess Qinglan of Taiyuan as bait and thousands of treasures, it is estimated that no one in the world can resist this temptation.
No wonder, even though Wang Pinggui fell into his hands, he still looked so calm just now.
only……
The dignified prince of the Jin Dynasty actually came up with such a strategy, and moreover, he used his own sister as bait. This strategy, this person, is really a bit unkind.
Lu Heng turned his head and glanced at Wang Pinggui, who was getting paler and paler. Seeing that he was still looking uneasy, sitting on the ground mumbling to himself, as if he had lost his mind. Lu Heng thought for a while and walked slowly
After passing by, he stretched out his hand and pressed on Wang Pinggui's shoulder, and said calmly: "I have already said what needs to be said. Where to go? Brother Wang was born as an aide, so it is not difficult to think clearly!"
Feeling Wang Pinggui's trembling body, Lu Heng said calmly: "Even if you want to be loyal to the King of Jin and die to prove your ambition, you should also think about whether this master who can abandon his subordinates at will is worthy of your loyalty. And..."
There was a pause in his tone, and when he saw Wang Pinggui turning his head, Lu Heng looked at him steadily and said in a deep voice: "And your family!"
After letting go of his hand, Lu Heng glanced at him and said: "Now that we have said that, Brother Wang can make his own decision as to where to go. By the way, Lu will rest here tonight. If Brother Wang wants to understand, you can come directly."
Find me!"
After saying that, Lu Heng turned around and headed towards the inn lobby.
Behind him, in the blazing fire, Wang Pinggui was slumped on the ground with an uncertain expression and his body was shaking violently.
"Wait!" Just when Lu Heng was about to enter the hall, Wang Pinggui suddenly called out.
Seeing Lu Heng stop and turn his head to look at himself, Wang Pinggui took a deep breath, stood up from the ground, and strode over.
"On the fifth day of June, the south bank of the Yellow River bursts!" Wang Pinggui took a deep breath, thought about it, then spoke in Lu Heng's ear with a solemn look on his face.
"Yellow River?" After hearing this, Lu Heng, who was prepared in his heart, was also shocked by the news. His face changed, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he looked at Wang Pinggui.
"Yes!" Wang Pinggui took a deep breath, as if he had made a lot of determination. He raised his head, looked at Lu Heng and said: "The Yellow River bursts at the south bank of the embankment a hundred miles away from Luoyang City! By that time
, while the Yellow River bursts and Tokyo is in chaos, His Highness the King of Jin will launch a mutiny!"
Hearing this, Lu Heng took a breath. He didn't expect that King Jin would be so crazy for a throne.
Once the Yellow River bursts, thousands of kilometers of land on the south bank will instantly turn into a vast ocean. At that time, refugees will be displaced and plague will be rampant. If the Turkic cavalry takes the opportunity to go south, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be in danger!
After taking a deep breath and suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Lu Heng turned his head, looked at Wang Pinggui with a crazy smile on his face and said, "How did you know?"
The matter was so important that Lu Heng had to ask clearly.
When Wang Pinggui heard this, he shook his head and smiled. He pointed at Lu Heng and said matter-of-factly: "You and I are both staff. As staff, isn't it very easy to leave a way out for yourself?" (To be continued)
