Chapter 298
Chapter 298: Die with your eyes closed
With such an order, all the soldiers of Zhennan Army were stunned for a moment.
But after a pause, the people in the inner circle of the archer camp raised their strong crossbows, and countless crossbow arrows shot towards the imperial guards.
Some of the imperial guards had been disarmed, and most of them surrounded the sunken jungle. At this moment, they pulled out their hidden swords and began to resist.
Chen Ruinian, who was a little unbearable for such a change, instantly understood something.
He said that he was an imperial guard and put down his swords and weapons, but he had already made preparations in secret. This was to gain vitality and even bite him back.
A burst of crossbow arrows shot, and there were shouts, wails and metal collisions inside the encircled imperial guards in the middle.
Old Xu was carrying a powerful crossbow and had already landed on a huge rock. Anyone who was about to rush out would raise his hand and just arrow, and it was the same as the one who was right in the middle of his eyebrows.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, there was no sound in these imperial guards, and Lu Zhi raised his hand and waved it.
The people behind came forward one after another. Although they did not give instructions, they understood what this meant and did not leave any living words.
Although these were the people of the Tang Dynasty and the imperial guards in the capital, the one they had just murdered was also the imperial guards in the Tang Dynasty, and they even wanted to blame the Zhennan Army.
Such behavior is not worthy of being called, so cruel to them is the best protection for Zhennan Army.
After checking, the dying Chen Junlin was dragged by two people and carried it to Lu Zhi and Lao Xu.
Lu Zhi jumped off his horse, took out a piece of sandalwood from his waist and threw it into his mouth. Such a cool smell could suppress the bloody smell in front of him, and also made him even more calm.
He raised his foot and kicked off the cap on Chen Junlin's head. Lu Zhi squatted down, cushioned, grabbed Chen Junlin's hair bun, and forced him to raise his head to look at him.
"Your people are all dead. Tell me who instructed you? Who instructed you to kill the escort imperial guards? Who instructed you to blame Zhennan Army? Just because you are not looking down on me, you really don't have this brain!"
Chen Junlin grinned, his teeth were covered with blood. It was obvious that he was seriously injured and was dying.
"If you are me, will you say it? Don't try hard. If you want to kill me, give me a knife. If you want to vent your anger, torture me. Hurry up and start!"
Lu Zhi shook his head.
After letting go of his hand, a soldier stepped forward, imitating Lu Zhi's appearance, grabbed his hair so that he could keep looking straight. After all, it was already hard for him to look up at this moment.
"It seems you know very well that you can't escape death today. I want to use you to have already expected this. Even your wife, children and relatives are threatened, right?"
Chen Junlin didn't say anything, but his eyes staring at Lu Zhi were less disdainful, and there was a flash of worry.
"The success and defeated the enemy, what do you say is, don't do it too much!"
Lu Zhi smiled.
He squatted directly beside Shen Conglin and waved his hand to Chen Ruinian behind him. Just now, Chen Ruinian suddenly called out the name of this person, obviously not the familiarity he had just heard of.
"General Chen comes here and tell me what's going on at the family of Shen Conglin Commander. But he has a wife and son. Looking at him, he is nearly 40 years old, and he thinks he is a family full of children, right?"
Chen Ruinian took a step forward, experiencing the previous encirclement of the village and the massacre just now. At this time, Chen Ruinian had no extra emotions to vent.
After thinking about it for a moment, he quickly said:
"There are three sons and one daughter in Chen Conglin. The wife has two sons, one of whom is less than ten years old. The other is Shen Zhibang, who is also in Shenwei Camp at the age of eighteen. The daughter married the concubine son of the left minister of the Ministry of Rites as a concubine. As for the other son, he was born in the outer room, and this son is also eighteen, and Shentuo is in Shenwu Camp.
These are just his family members. As for his father and three brothers, they all serve in various army in the capital. Their descendants and grandchildren are more than 20 in total."
Chen Ruinian said without any emotion, and described all the memories in his memory. After all, it is only such a big place in central Beijing. Although it is not allowed to keep the outdoor room, it is all used as capital for showing off, and many people are following suit.
When Chen Junlin heard it, he started to struggle and his body could not control himself.
The hatred in Chen Ruinian's eyes made him shudder. He was not surprised. He just didn't expect that the main general in front of him would inquire about his children and relatives' details, which made him panic.
"It's all Qiu Ba. When will the troubles affect their children? Are you all considered righteous gentlemen?"
Lu Zhi smiled, turned around and pointed at the soldiers and said:
"I, Lu Zhi, just care about these brothers behind me, and don't want their relatives to lose their family members. When you plotted against all this, did you ever think about whether you were a gentleman?
Without further ado, the person who came to inform him and sent someone to assassinate all the people that General Chen said just now, which can be regarded as comforting all the military robes who were murdered today.
Shen Junlin, remember that even the imperial guards around you died because of you!”
Lu Zhi stood up, pulled out his long sword, raised it high, and fell towards the sunken jungle in the next second.
At this moment, Shen Junlin panicked. He was not afraid of death. When he received this incident, he knew that he could not keep himself alive. He would either be killed or he had to act in accordance with the secret order.
And at this moment, if he didn't say anything, it would not take long for his relatives and children to end up with him, especially Chen Tuo, who was the one he owed the most.
Thinking of this, Chen Junlin yelled desperately:
"I said, can you let my family go?"
Lu Zhi paused, inserted his long sword into the ground in front of him, waved his hand behind him, and all the people from the Sagittarius camp retreated quickly. Chen Ruinian wanted to retreat, but Lao Xu raised his hand to stop him.
At this time, someone should be a witness. Chen Ruinian is the best choice. He followed him all the way and experienced everything. This conspiracy must be heard even more.
"Tell me, if you hide or lie, you will know the consequences."
Chen Junlin closed his eyes and had no support. The man was already lying on the stone. He coughed twice, vomited a mouthful of blood, and then said:
"A month ago, I received a secret order from Gong Zhixiang, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, asking me to select a team of 500 people in the name of training, set out from the capital and arrived at Crescent Valley. There was no more in the secret order, and Gong Zhixiang did not explain too much.
He just asked me if I was loyal to the prince. Of course, if I didn't, I was immediately sentenced to death. I couldn't refuse. The secret order was signed by the prince's seal. After reading the letter, Gong Zhixiang burned the letter and said that he would help me take good care of my wife and children.
I was so threatened that I was unable to resist, and then I rushed to the Crescent Valley with my men. I thought at the time that this exercise was definitely not a exercise, but I had no idea what to do next, and no one gave me the next order.
Until three days ago, a Taoist in Qingyi found me, took the prince's token and gave me a secret order, asking me to select half of the troops and finally used as bait to settle in Mengshan Village, northeast of the Crescent Valley.
After I asked me to take a team of people to carry out the mission, I changed into the armor of the imperial guards and left. I didn't understand the secret, after all, I didn't know what to do.
The Taoist took me alone to a cave, where there were black robes like a mountain, facial scarves and various weapons, which made me ambush at the entrance of the southernmost part of the Crescent Valley and blocked the imperial army that transported food and wages.
It is better to let a few escape, and then the troops are divided into two groups to evacuate. One of them has to hide in Mengshan Village as bait, fight desperately with the pursuers, and the other party has to replace the armor of the imperial guards and go back to Beijing directly. If you are caught, can you reveal a word?
After saying that, the man left and told me before leaving, "Don't look at me in Hengduan Mountain, the prince will let the Maoshan Sect control everything, and my every move is in their eyes. If there is any disobedience, hundreds of masters and servants of my Shen family will be wiped out."
After thinking about it for a day, I realized that even the final escape was just an excuse to let Zhennan Army kill us, but it was just to break the matter out of the sky. If it really made a fuss, Zhennan Army would make it alluring.
Why did you send troops north of the Hengduan Mountains? Why did you attack the imperial guards? Why did you falsely accused the imperial guards of becoming bandits? Hahaha, whether you are or me, you are just a chess piece, just a chess piece, let my wife and children go."
At the end, Shen Conglin's eyes were dissipated, and his raised hands slowly fell down, but he still stared at Lu Zhi's wide red eyes with a hint of hope.
Old Xu checked Shen Conglin's carotid artery and shook his head at Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi didn't feel much emotion or surprise, so he raised his hand and placed it on Shen Conglin's eyes.
"Don't worry, Zhennanjun is not those old-fashioned men. They keep their words and will not touch your family. But if they want to move, we will not stop this, because you could have other ways to choose from, and if you choose the wrong one, you will have to bear the consequences."
Lu Zhi stood up and waved to the person behind him.
"Come here, dig a hole, burn and bury all the bodies, I want there is no trace here!"
