Chapter 75 Poisoning
Chapter 75 Poisoning
"General! Then Lu Su sent someone to shout on the city wall! If we don't retreat today, he will slaughter one person every quarter of an hour until all the butchers are killed!"
Early in the morning, the top soldiers outside the Tuguan came back to report the news.That night, Huiyang soldiers didn't rest well, and every time they were about to fall asleep, they would think of the miserable couple during the day.
No matter how many people they killed on the battlefield, they still couldn't bear the slaughter of their own country's people in front of them. What a humiliation!
"Your Majesty, please issue an order to eliminate the traitors!" Zhang Ren knelt down and shouted.
If Zhang Ren's awakening is a farewell to the past, then now he wants to cut off his relationship with Lu Su completely.Lu Su is very good at swordsmanship, and he learned a large part of his sword skills from Lu Su. It is not an exaggeration to say that Lu Su was his first teacher.
But the current Lu Su is no longer the same as the Uncle Lu in his memory.
After Zhang Ren said this, the atmosphere in the barracks was quickly stirred up. All the soldiers knelt down and shouted in unison, "Your Majesty, please order! Clear out the traitors!"
Zhao Chen ordered without a trace of expression, "Li Tang, do as I said yesterday, without any mistakes."
Li Tang: "Yes!"
"The rest of the soldiers will follow me to slaughter the pass!"
"The end will follow the order!"
Zhao Chen led his men to the base of Tuguan City, and Lu Su was already waiting on the city wall. The remaining 18 people hung on the top of the city wall all night, and now they are a little dehydrated, and they can't even scream and struggle.
Lu Su looked at Zhao Chen contemptuously, "Hey, why is there a new leader now, it looks younger than the previous one, and you are here to fight?"
The soldiers behind Zhao Chen were about to step forward angrily, but he raised his hand to stop him.Zhao Chen smiled softly, unable to understand his true emotions, "General Lu doesn't need to be so hostile, the master is not angry, how can there be any reason for a guest to make trouble on someone else's territory?"
"What you mean is that you are not ready for peace talks?" Lu Su raised the sword in his hand in the air, pretending to appreciate his saber.
"Peace talks? Yes. But I really don't like General Lu's threats everywhere." Zhao Chen said coldly, Lu Su was just warning him that as long as he wanted, he could kill a few more Huiyang people at any time.
When Lu Su heard Zhao Chen's claim, he was stunned for a second and then began to laugh, "So you are the little emperor of Huiyang, and there are many "great achievements" of yours in Beirong."
He could hear him being sarcastic, but Zhao Chen wasn't annoyed at all. He'd heard these words thousands of times, and now that Lu Su is a villain, it wouldn't hurt to let him talk about it.But Zhao Chen doesn't mind, it doesn't mean others can bear it too.
Xiao Qi moved his body, frowned and just wanted to refute, but Zhang Ren grabbed his arm and shook his head at him, "Don't be impulsive."
They all know that Zhao Chen and Lu Su are not just chatting, but delaying time to increase the chance of success for their plan.
"So I'm so famous." Zhao Chen smiled, "In that case, can General Lu put down the sword in his hand and have a good talk with me?"
"Heh. A joke." Lu Su said, "I'm not stupid, this is my only bargaining chip, let them go? Wouldn't your army immediately flatten this place in the next second?"
"If you don't hurt them, I can keep you and your soldiers safe." Zhao Chen said softly, "I just want to protect Huiyang's territory."
"This is really the funniest joke I've ever heard." Lu Su looked at the sun, his eyes were squinted by the wind, "I agreed to live for a quarter of an hour, if you haven't thought about it, then this kid I will take my life first!"
He lifted the sword in his hand to the rope of the boy in front of him. The boy looked immature, how could Lu Su bear it? !
Zhao Chen hurriedly shouted, "Don't! Everything can be discussed!"
"What are you talking about?! Unless you retreat now! Otherwise..." Lu Su raised the sword in his hand again, full of threats.
"Uncle Lu!"
The sudden voice made Zhao Chen startled, and also caused the sword in Lu Su's hand to stop.He looked at the speaker, frowned, and said in a serious but gentle voice he had never used before, "You...you are?"
Zhang Ren raised his head, bit his lower lip, and finally chose to reveal his identity, "I am Xiao Ren." He paused for a second and added, "Xuanyuan Ren."
The sword in Lu Su's hand fell to the ground suddenly, and he stared dumbfounded at the young man in armor under the city wall, "How is it possible... How is it possible?! Are you still alive?"
"Yes, Uncle Lu, I'm still alive. Back then, my father..." Zhang Ren turned his head away, gritted his teeth and said, "My father protected me from fleeing, and now I'm the only one left in the entire Xuanyuan family."
Lu Su also seemed to be reminded of a long time ago. He looked into the distance, with a sad expression on his brows, "Back then when the Yi tribe was destroyed, the Xuanyuan family fell to the altar, your father died in battle, and I... I fled That hell on earth."
"The number of survivors of the Yi people is very small. I haven't seen my old friends for a long time. What I didn't expect was that, Xiao Ren, you are still alive!"
"The Xuanyuan family was originally born to protect the Yi people. When the Yi people were destroyed, the Xuanyuan family should be buried with them. I am not worthy of the family motto passed down from generation to generation by the Xuanyuan family." Zhang Ren said.
Lu Su said angrily, "What kind of bullshit is buried with you? Brother Jing was stupid back then. Such a brave man actually risked the lives of his entire family for that kind of emperor!"
"No, Uncle Lu, even so, my father was relieved before he died. His only pursuit is to sacrifice his life for the Yi people."
"That can't be..." Lu Su realized halfway through the sentence, "Are you helping Huiyang now?!"
Zhang Ren didn't speak, but looked up at Lu Su who was gradually turning from sad to angry.
"How dare you?!" Lu Su picked up the saber on the ground and pointed at Zhang Ren, "Brother Jing protects your life, just to make you work for the enemy?!"
"I'm not..." Zhang Ren retorted, "The destruction of the Yi tribe was certainly due to Huiyang, but it was far from Huiyang at all! My father told me before he died that there is no need to seek revenge from Huiyang, all of this is the fate of the Yi tribe! It was the curse left by the Yi people that led to my demise!"
"What do you know! Brother Jing doesn't want you to sacrifice your life for revenge. If it weren't for Huiyang, how could the Yi people perish so quickly, and how could all our family members and friends have died?" Lu Su looked at fiercely. The Huiyang army under the city wall said, "They killed my Yi people, and if I slaughtered their entire city, they owe me that!"
Zhang Ren seemed to understand something, "You are the one who insists on leading troops to attack Huiyang?!"
"So what if it's me, you don't want revenge, and you don't want me to take revenge? Brother Jing's death, the death of everyone in the Yi tribe, I want the blood of Huiyang people to pay for it! They are only worthy of kneeling on the ground, they We must repent to our dead Yi people!!"
"You're crazy! My father wouldn't want you to do this either!" Zhang Ren shouted, "Father is such an upright person, how could he bear the suffering of the people, even the people of other countries, he would not have the heart to hurt them And what about you! Claiming to avenge your father, but doing the evil thing he despises the most?!"
"Ha." Lu Su supported his head and sneered, "You are still young, you don't understand. You are Brother Jing's only descendant, I will not kill you. But please watch, how I took revenge, how I Make Huiyang tremble step by step!"
"What's wrong with the people of Huiyang, you can't just kill them for your own selfish desire!"
"Their fault? Their fault is that they were born in Huiyang!" Lu Su turned his blade again, aiming at the boy's rope just now, "I will use his blood today to start my great cause of revenge!"
"No!"
As soon as Zhang Ren yelled, he saw that Lu Su's hand began to tremble violently. He couldn't even hold the sword firmly. The sword in his hand fell from the city wall and landed at the bottom of the city wall.A bare sword lay under the city wall, which looked absurd and ridiculous.
Lu Su supported his chest and panted heavily. His breathing gradually became slow, and he needed a lot of strength to maintain his needs.He turned his head and looked at the soldiers around him with all his strength, all of them were just like him, and some were even far inferior to him.
Most of the people fell crookedly on the city wall, and Lu Su knew that he was finished.
Trembling, he climbed up to the city wall, tried his best to stand up, and looked at the still quiet Huiyang army under the city wall. Maybe just now, there were a few more men in black cloaks beside Zhao Chen.
Just by taking a look, Lu Su knew that this was from Nanqu.
No wonder, no wonder they delayed so much, not to save people, but to kill them!
Lu Su took a final look at the direction of the frontier. The promised reinforcements did not come, and all the soldiers in the Tuguan had been poisoned.He closed his eyes weakly, his lungs felt like an explosion, but soon, he lost consciousness.
