Chapter 1121: Gutter capsizes
The atmosphere of the banquet was very warm, and Zhao Youde specially arranged wonderful singing and dancing to attract Lu Tianxing's attention, so as not to let him see the flaws, and the cheerful atmosphere made everyone staggered and talked and laughed.
In Lu Tianxing's eyes, Zhao Youde and the others were completely chess pieces used to cover his smooth withdrawal, and in order to appease these unlucky guys, he naturally had to show an intimate attitude.
And Zhao Youde and others were secretly waiting for the opportunity to start, so they naturally had to have a relationship with Lu Tianxing, and kept patting Lu Tianxing's ass.
Lu Tianxing would never have known that when he entered the Green Willow Pavilion, the generals of the Ming army who were locked up in the prison were released by Zhao Youde, and they hurried to the prisoner of war camp where the Ming army prisoners were held, and led the captives equipped with weapons to quietly surround the camp of the Northern Yuan soldiers.
At the same time, the four gates of Didao City were also guarded by heavy troops to prevent the Northern Yuan soldiers from rushing out of the city, and the sky above the entire Didao City was gradually filled with a strong smell of gunsmoke.
And all this Lu Tianxing was kept in the dark, just when he thought he had controlled the situation in Di Dao City, danger had quietly come.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has introduced you to a person, I think you must be interested in getting to know him!" After Lu Tianxing drank a glass of wine, Zhao Youde, who was talking and laughing, turned around and said with a smile.
"Oh?" Lu Tianxing felt a little curious when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Youde, not knowing what Zhao Youde would bring to him who interested him.
Zhao Youde smiled slightly, looked up at the door, and saw a young man wearing a Ming army uniform walking in quickly from the door, standing in front of Lu Tianxing, looking at him with a cold expression.
Seeing that the young man was so rude, Lu Tianxing frowned slightly, and turned his head to look at Zhao Youde with some displeasure, wondering what kind of medicine was being sold in Zhao Youde's gourd.
"Tell the Privy Counsellor who you are?" Zhao Youde bowed to Lu Tianxing, and then said to the young man quietly.
"Second Prince Lu, this official is a military attache in the Ming Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and it is a great honor to meet the famous Second Prince Lu here!" When the young man heard this, he coldly revealed his identity to Lu Tianxing, and it turned out that he was Zhang Guang.
"Lord Zhao, what does this mean?" Lu Tianxing's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he looked at Zhao Youde expressionlessly, he was surprised that the person who was talking about Wutang appeared here, and at the same time there was an ominous premonition in his heart, and no one dared to call him "Second Master Lu" in front of him, which was undoubtedly revealing his scars.
"Your Excellency the Privy Envoy, he is the future son-in-law of the lower official, and this time he was ordered to come to Tao on a business trip, and he admires the Privy Envoy very much, so the lower official brought him to see the Lord." A smug look flashed on Zhao Youde's face, and after glancing at Zhang Guang, he said to Lu Tianxing with a smile.
Although Zhao Youde still called Lu Tianxing "adult", there was no previous respect in his words and deeds, and it was replaced by banter, which made Lu Tianxing's heart sink suddenly.
"It turned out to be Lord Zhao's son-in-law, and he is really young and promising, come, this official will have a drink with you." Then, Lu Tianxing picked up the wine glass in front of him and said to Zhang Guang with a smile.
"Second Prince Lu, you are a wanted criminal in the imperial court, how can this official drink with you!" Zhang Guang didn't take the olive branch thrown by Lu Tianxing, but looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Second Prince Lu, you have escaped for so long, and now you can finally be brought to justice, the court and the Zhongwu King are waiting to see you again!" ”
"Presumptuous!" When Lu Tianxing heard this, he suddenly snapped and put the wine glass in his hand on the table, glared at Zhang Guang coldly and said, "You dare to offend this official, are you impatient." ”
From Zhang Guangling's tone, Lu Tianxing knew that his comer was not good, that is to say, Zhao Youde and others wanted to attack him, otherwise how could they tolerate Zhang Guang being so arrogant and domineering, so there was no need for him to be kind and pleasant, but to show the official authority and domineering of the superior!
"Second Master Lu, do you think you can still show off your martial arts as usual?" Zhang Guangyan couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and asked in a deep voice after clapping his hands.
With Zhang Guang's clapping movements, there was a dull sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and a group of guards with crossbows rushed in, aiming the crossbow arrows in their hands at Lu Tianxing and several guards behind him, and the rest of the guards were drinking in the next room, and they had already been controlled at this time.
Seeing this situation, the guards standing behind Lu Tianxing immediately drew their waist knives and protected them in front of Lu Tianxing, and confronted the guards who rushed in with nervous expressions, which made the air at the scene suddenly tense.
Zhao Youde saw that he had already torn his face with Lu Tianxing, and he had nothing to worry about, so he waved his hand at the dancers and musicians in the house, and those people hurriedly retreated, everyone knew that the situation at the scene here was not good.
"Lord Zhao, what do you mean by this?" Lu Tianxing already knew that Zhao Youde and the others were going to rebel at this time, so he looked at Zhao Youde coldly.
"Your Excellency, I want to know what the situation in Kansai is?" Zhao Youde glared at Lu Tianxing's gaze and asked in a deep voice.
"This official said that I, Dayuan and Xi Chagatai, have been crisscrossing in Kansai, and have captured the Qinglong City, which the Ming Dynasty relies on to support in Kansai, and now Kansai is in the hands of my Dayuan."
Lu Tianxing was taken aback when he heard this, he already understood what was going on at this time, it seemed that the matter in Guanxi had been leaked out, and it was not a secret that carrier pigeons were used to transmit information between Qinglong City and Lanzhou City, but he couldn't admit it, he looked at Zhao Youde coldly and said, "Lord Zhao, do you want to rebel?" ”
"Your Excellency the Privy Envoy, this official has already asked people to investigate, General Ade did not lead his troops to attack the city but changed his itinerary halfway to Jiuquan, can you tell this official why?"
Seeing that Lu Tianxing was still stiff-mouthed at this time, the corners of Zhao Youde's mouth couldn't help but show a mocking look, "Your Excellency, the officers and soldiers of Lanzhou will go to Didao City the day after tomorrow and you will lead the army to leave tomorrow, this is too much of a coincidence!" ”
"Ridiculous, General Ade obviously led his army to attack the cities around Lanzhou, and you actually said that he led his troops back to Jiuquan City, which is really ridiculous."
Lu Tianxing knew that Zhao Youde was already clear about the current battle situation, but he would not give up resistance easily, and looked at the officials present with a cold expression, "Everyone, the army led by Taishi Tuhuan is about to arrive in Didao City, if you follow Zhao Daren to rebel, it will be difficult for this official to protect you at that time, and the city will be ruined with life, and blood will flow like a river, you can think twice." ”
"Second Prince Lu, don't be alarmist here, this official has already sent someone to contact the officials and soldiers from Lanzhou, and the exact news will come tomorrow, and this official still advises you to save some effort to repent of your past crimes in prison." Zhao Youde saw that Lu Tianxing was still resisting, so he looked at him with a sneer, did he think that everyone here was a fool who was so foolish?
"You...... You drugged your own wine? Lu Tianxing was just about to open his mouth to argue, but he felt dizzy for a while, and the scene in front of him gradually became blurred, so he shook his head vigorously and looked at Zhao Youde.
"Second Prince Lu, you are the most important prisoner in the imperial court, the sword has no eyes, and the official is worried that he will hurt you once he does it, so he adopts such a safe method." Zhao Youde didn't deny it, and said to Lu Tianxing with a smile, "Second Master Lu, don't worry, as long as you sleep for a while, the medicinal properties will pass." ”
"Escort the officer out!" Lu Tianxing knew that Zhao Youde was determined to arrest him, and after his face changed, he shouted at the guards in front of him, if he fell into Zhao Youde's hands, he would be finished.
Hearing this, several guards immediately rushed towards the soldiers with crossbows in front of them, they were all Lu Tianxing's personal guards, and they were loyal to Lu Tianxing, so although they were at a disadvantage, they still meticulously carried out Lu Tianxing's orders and wanted to fight their way out of the encirclement.
"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing this situation, Zhao Youde coldly issued an order in his mouth, "Remember, Second Prince Lu is an important criminal of the imperial court, don't hurt him!" ”
With Zhao Youde's order, Lu Tianxing's guards were full of crossbow arrows, and they fell in a pool of blood one after another, waiting for the roof with their eyes open, as if they had never thought of dying here, and they looked very unwilling.
Lu Tianxing pulled out his waist knife and wanted to resist, but as soon as he pulled out the knife, he fell to the ground in the dark, his eyes were closed and he fainted, I am afraid that he would never have imagined that he would capsize in the small Didao City gutter before, and was calculated by Zhao Youde, a small colleague.
"Quick, inform a few generals, it's time to do it." After glancing at Lu Tianxing, who had fallen to the ground and was unconscious, he gave an order to one of the guards in a deep voice.
If it weren't for the fear of startling the snake, those Ming soldiers hiding outside the Beiyuan barracks would have rushed into the camp and killed the unsuspecting Beiyuan soldiers, as long as Lu Tianxing was captured, then it was time for them to attack.
After the guard who went to deliver the news left, Zhao Youde's eyes fell on Lu Tianxing on the ground, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, with Lu Tianxing, his guilt of defecting to the enemy could be offset, and he didn't have to worry about being cut off by the imperial court.
A few days later, Blue Dragon City.
"Lord Wang, there is a piece of good news from the Duke of Zhongguo, you would never have thought of what happened over there." When Li Yuntian was discussing the next military action with Zhang Hao, Niu Shihao, Bai An and others, Lin Xin walked in with a smile and said excitedly with a note in his hand.
Li Yuntian couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to take the note, the news that Lin Xin could come in at this time was absolutely crucial, he wanted to see what was happening in the northwest to be happy.
"After more than ten years, the case is finally available now." After reading the contents of the note, Li Yuntian's face couldn't help but show a complicated look, and after smiling, he handed the note to Zhang Hao on the side, as if he didn't seem to be very happy.
Zhang Hao took it and immediately understood what was going on, Zhou Zheng told Li Yuntian on a note that Lu Tianxing had been taken by the rebels of Di Dao City and was now imprisoned in the prison of Lanzhou City.
For the grievances between Li Yuntian and Zhou Zheng, Zhang Hao is very clear, the two are not only mortal enemies, but also sympathetic opponents, Li Yuntian must want to catch Lu Tianxing with his own hands, who would have thought that Lu Tianxing would be accidentally planted in Di Dao City, which will be a pity for Li Yuntian.
However, no matter what, it is a great thing to be able to catch Lu Tianxing, Lu Tianxing and Gu Chen are the brains of Dehuan, and now that Lu Tianxing has been arrested, Gu Chen has been dragged in the Hetao by the Ming army, so it is not so easy for Tuhuan to get out.
