Chapter 834: Behind the Scenes (Part II)
Sure enough, it's Fan Yang's Lu family! Chen Fei had already expected this possibility before leaving, but he didn't expect that it was really them who were verified now.
In other words, the Lu family is really careful, probably because they are afraid that the letter will leak out, so they have not written their identity in the letter, and they have not been known until they meet now.
However, the two people of the Lu family probably never dreamed that the group of "Goguryeo people" in front of them was pretended to be a soldier of the Tang Dynasty!
The two members of the Lu family hadn't noticed the change in the soldiers' faces, and they still looked like they were dragged to the sky, "What's the matter?" Have you thought about it? This general of Goguryeo, you should know a little bit about the influence of my Lu family in Hebei Province, right? We can do something when the Tang army is transporting grain, so that they can't supply food at the border, and naturally there will be no friction with your country without grain and grass, whether your country wants to recuperate, or if you want to go south to Silla or Belle, isn't it all a matter of your king's thoughts? Even if necessary, we can also fund your food and grass, wouldn't we kill two birds with one stone? ”
The Lu family really had the intention of rebellion, and actually colluded with foreign countries to harm the military and people of the Tang Dynasty! The soldier's hands trembled slightly as he sat in front of the two Lu family disciples, because if the words he heard now were spread, it would be enough to wipe out a behemoth overnight!
"It's... How can I believe what you say? The soldier's voice trembled a little, he didn't expect the Lu family to have such courage.
But the soldier's nervous and trembling appearance fell in the eyes of the Lu family, but it made him mistakenly think that the other party was tempted, and he was so excited that he behaved like this.
He leaned forward and said in a low voice: "General, please rest assured, my Lu family is also a famous family, and the family has a big business, how can I not talk without words?" As long as the general can nod and agree to an alliance on behalf of the Goguryeo king, then my promise will definitely count! ”
Taking two deep breaths, the soldier calmed down slightly, leaned forward as well, and asked, "How do you count?" ”
The two Lu family disciples immediately laughed and said, "This is easy to say, easy to say." ”
With that, one of them got up and opened the shop, and the other took out two rolls of paper from his bosom, one with a seal and one with a charm.
"Since the general is suspicious, how about we sign and draw a pledge on the spot as evidence?"
Signed? I'll go, you're too prepared, aren't you? The soldier was secretly surprised, but at the same time became more and more excited.
As long as you can sign and draw the pledge smoothly, this is ironclad evidence, and you can't rely on it!
The soldier suppressed his nervousness and asked tremblingly, "You... Can you sit down on behalf of the Lu family? ”
The man thought that it was caused by the other party being too excited, so he didn't take it to heart, on the contrary, he smiled proudly: "Naturally, since the head of the family handed over the seal and tokens to us, he naturally authorized me, and I can sign an alliance with your country on behalf of the Lu family." ”
The soldier suddenly remembered that he didn't have any hanging seals related to Goguryeo, only a token representing his identity, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "But... On this secret trip, we didn't carry a hanging seal, only an identity token, I don't know if we can count? ”
The people of the Lu family smiled indifferently: "Haha! Of course, count! It's also our fault to say that we didn't mention this matter in the letter, but since they are all here, we can't let the general run in vain, as long as the general is willing to sign and draw and exchange tokens, the covenant will be counted! ”
"Good! Then please. ”
"Please!"
The content of the covenant was almost the same as what the Lu family said at the beginning, and after pretending to look at it for a while, he happily pressed his handprint on the paper and exchanged tokens with the other party.
When the man from the Lu family saw that the covenant had been signed, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. In fact, the Lu family has been spying on the military power of Goguryeo for a long time, but unfortunately they have never had the opportunity to negotiate with them, and even if they negotiate, the other party's monarch may not be a family, after all, the other party is crazy but he is not even the lord of Li Shimin.
But now that Goguryeo is under the enemy's back, it is the time when foreign aid is urgently needed, so the Lu family saw this opportunity and secretly signed an alliance with Goguryeo, and from then on the two sides were grasshoppers on a rope, and many things that they wanted to do before were now easy to do.
For example, if the Lu family provided grain, grass, and iron tools to Goguryeo, and Goguryeo sent troops to harass the Tang border, the Lu family could turn into a righteous party, save the people, buy people's hearts, and even facilitate them to install generals in the army.
So now that the contract was signed, the Lu family disciple was naturally very happy, according to the etiquette and customs of the Tang people, the two sides reached a pleasant cooperation, and naturally they wanted to salute with wine.
"General, all the heroes, it is an honor for Lu to meet you today, and today I signed a contract with your country, you should have a drink, everyone, please!"
The soldier at the head picked up his wine glass with a strange face, looking at the person from the Lu family, and in addition to ridicule in his eyes, the rest was pity.
The man from the Lu family finished the wine in the cup, and when he saw that everyone else was looking at him strangely, he couldn't help but say strangely: "Everyone...... Why not drink? Do you have any questions? ”
The soldier carefully put away the covenant and tokens for safekeeping, and sneered at the people of the Lu family: "There is one last question. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"If I tie you back to Chang'an City and send it to Your Majesty, will you still tell Your Majesty about these things like today?"
The people of the Lu family were stunned for a moment, and then they were shocked, and their bodies fell backwards to the ground, pointing at these people and saying in horror: "You... You guys..."
"Not bad! We're here to catch traitors like you! Come on, take people down! ”
At the sound of an order, the soldiers who were originally sitting in the position tore off their disguises, took out the rope sack from their waists, and neatly controlled the two Lu family disciples, and knocked them out and put them into the sacks, and resisted packing and taking them away on their shoulders.
The owner of the tavern, in particular, didn't understand what was going on, and the young man who had been chatting happily with him was suddenly knocked unconscious by the group of aliens in a sack. Then, a big pocket appeared in front of him, and then his eyes were dark, and before he could shout, he felt a numb in the back of his neck, and his body involuntarily softened, and he could only open his mouth to shout, unable to make a sound, and then he lost consciousness completely.
The three of them were put into sacks and quickly carried outside the store, and the soldiers at the head commanded several soldiers behind the palace, "Clean up this place!" Make sure you don't see anyone coming! Move fast! Slow down, Lao Tzu will suck you to death! ”
"Yes!" The soldiers moved quickly, dividing the messy shop by two, and restored it to its original state.
The soldier at the head took a cursory look, nodded with satisfaction, and then quickly walked out of the store with the rest of the people, and did not forget to close the door after going out..................
