Six thousand taels? Isn't it a small sum of money? "Chu Wushuang couldn't help but say, but his expression seemed thoughtful. Those who can make such a big move in the capital of Chu are few and far between.
Zhaolin glanced at him and nodded, saying, "Indeed, we have been bandits and bandits all our lives. This 6000 taels deal is the first time we have encountered it. If successful, it can be said that it will be enough for our brothers to eat for a lifetime. So our brothers were immediately moved. Later, when we asked about the situation, we found out that they wanted us to set up a checkpoint in Wangyanggang, a thousand miles away from the capital of Chu, in Dading City. They said that there would be a group of imperial soldiers passing by at that time. These people suffered a defeat and brought shame to the court. Some people couldn't see it and wanted to solve them. At that time, we felt something inappropriate, but that person said it was from above. The idea is that if something goes wrong, it's not our business. As long as we solve all these people, we can get the reward." Zhaolin couldn't help but cry bitterly at this point, Hammer your chest with both hands, looking extremely sad. But do we know that this is actually a trap set by others? They're just making us scapegoats. Are they sending us to the tip of the knife
Zhaolin paused at this point, and the eyebrows of Lingxi and Chu Wushuang couldn't help but furrow.
At this point, they certainly knew in their hearts who they were intercepting this time? What a vicious scheme of borrowing a knife to kill, what a chain reaction.
If the interception is successful, all of them can be pushed onto the bandits of Dongbo Mountain, and the main envoy can reap the benefits of the fishermen. If it fails. It is also entirely the responsibility of these bandits, who can use the hands of the court to eradicate this cancer. Eliminate it all at once.
Zhaolin noticed that both of them had a contemplative expression and continued, "You don't know, but the court sends people to surround and suppress us every year, which makes it impossible for us to survive. We are also forced into helplessness. Since they don't give us a way out, we won't let them have a good life. We heard that it was the defeated soldiers who came down from the battlefield, so we don't take it seriously. We thought that if we made this last deal, we could go home and farm, and live a normal life. So we went all out of our way. Who would have thought?... But things were not like this at all
Xiaobai has also returned at this moment. Just as he heard the excitement, he couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is going on here?" In fact, he also knew the truth, but he was just randomly joining in the fun.
Unexpectedly, those people were not defeated generals at all. They were the Feng family army that won the battle, and when we arrived below, we saw the number of the flag of the Third Prince. At that time, we were completely confused. This was the army led by the Third Prince today, and we were just plucking hair from the tiger. Thinking of this, we were about to turn our horses. We didn't want a group of people to rush down from the mountain, and they indiscriminately attacked us. The large stone rollers and countless logs that had already been buried on the mountain fell on the spot. We were killed or injured by more than half. Later, although we resisted desperately, we were more than a thousand people. People are also the casualties of death and injury. Among so many people, only I and a few brothers escaped. The rest were all captured alive and sent back After Zhao Lin finished speaking, his whole body trembled with fear, and he must have thought of the terrifying scene at that moment. I still have some lingering fears.
That was a nightmare, thinking of being beaten to pieces in the head on the spot. The scene of flesh and blood flying around, he would even be startled awake when he slept at night.
Hmph, as the saying goes, self inflicted wrongdoing cannot be lived. Are you also self inflicted? Besides, you have offended the Third Prince this time. You have offended the people of the Feng family army. Aren't you seeking death? "Lingxi's phoenix eyes were filled with anger, and her face had a faint red cloud due to excitement, making her lips red and teeth white, and her appearance exceptionally beautiful.
At this moment, carrying both hands, with a calm and composed posture, the cold expression on his face made people feel a little scared. And her calm and contemplative expression at this moment was not at all the expression of a teenage girl.
An ordinary girl would have probably already hidden behind a young man when she heard such a scene, but she didn't. Instead, he even made sarcastic remarks towards Zhaolin.
Zhaolin couldn't help but show a bitter face and say, "You two, I don't think you're ordinary people. Please help me come up with an idea and save my brothers, otherwise they won't be able to see the sun in a few days. My brothers and I have gone through life and death, drinking hangovers. If something happens to them, I won't live alone." Zhaolin finished speaking and cried loudly as he pounded his head on his chest.
Although Lingxi had known that his brother and his team would be safe and sound this time, he still broke out in a cold sweat after listening to Zhaolin's account. It can be seen how thrilling the scene was at that time. If it weren't for the person who jumped out halfway to save them, I'm afraid my brother and his team would have been unlucky this time.
However, at the same time, she also felt indignant about the act of directing these bandits from Dongboshan to intercept and set up checkpoints. Since this person can set up such a scheme, he must not be a simple person, and he has considerable influence.
You should know that these bandits from Dongboshan have long been a thorn in the side of the court, a thorn in their flesh. If they can use the hands of these bandits this time to kill the Feng family and the Third Prince, it would be a win-win situation.
If there is an accident with His Highness San, who will be the beneficiaries? If something happens to the Feng family army, they can easily take away their military power.
Last time when the Ruan family made military achievements and returned, at the celebration banquet, Empress Chen calmly sidelined the military power of the three father and son members of the Ruan family. Is it their turn again for the Feng family this time.
It seems that these royal people are not for fun, are they? Wait until you make good use of the people. He kicked the person away like a ball.
But this is not the time for her to get angry. She needs to figure out the whole story to be true. Including their almost death this time, it is likely that they are also involved in the entire plan.
Cry, what's there to cry about for a big man? If you had known today, why would you have done it in the first place? Let me ask you, are you sure about the identities of those people who came out halfway to rescue the Feng family army? "Lingxi couldn't help but ask.
If I'm not mistaken, the leading young man with jade face was the newly appointed Prince Yin. At that time, I heard someone shouting such a sentence in the crowd. But because I didn't know them, I couldn't be sure. Then we were blocked by the large stones and logs that fell from the sky. Our people, with their deaths and injuries, were surrounded by people from both sides. So we almost lost our entire army. I was lucky to escape and didn't lose my life. But my remaining brothers were captured alive. I heard that they were locked up in a prison and will be executed in three days
After Zhao Lin finished speaking, he burst into tears, and the expression of his crying was extremely real. Even if his own mother and father died, it was just such an expression.
Chu Wushuang and Lingxi were lost in thought, it seemed that this was definitely a trap, and the mastermind behind it was to make these bandits from Dongboshan the scapegoat.
Now, only by following the clues and uncovering the truth can we possibly uncover those behind us.
They sat from morning until noon, and then from noon until dusk, while Zhaolin was still chattering and making a lot of noise.
