Chapter 61: Driving the tiger away from the mountain, right?
Chu Lu went to the interrogation room and found that it had become a mess.
The prince-in-law was furious and furious. He held a jade pendant in his hand and shouted loudly: "I want to kill you, I want to kill you, I want you to pay for Wan'er's life!"
The two soldiers held her tightly to prevent her from straying.
In front of the Prince Consort, Jiang Xuening hid behind the soldiers with a look of fear on her face, but when she heard the Prince Consort's scolding, she stuck her head out dissatisfied and said, "What do you mean you want me to pay for my life? I didn't let you kill her. I I just want you to teach her a lesson. Who thought you would hang her on the wall?"
"Besides, why are you pretending to be affectionate?" Jiang Xuening continued: "The princess has been by your side for so long, and you didn't even recognize her. I just pretended to be weak and coaxed you into believing it. I don't think you did either. Like her a lot."
Chu Lu was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself: Damn it, you are still fighting the fire at this time?
As expected, the prince-in-law suddenly became furious, with a ferocious face and veins pulsing on his forehead. He looked more like a ghost than a human.
Unfortunately, the strength is still very small.
Finally, the prince-in-law, filled with grief, anger and helplessness, burst into tears.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Xuening actually showed a trace of pride on his face, as if he had won.
Chu Lu: "..."
——It was really a bad show.
"That's enough." Chu Lu clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, "Don't cry, Prince Consort Tang."
Only then did the Prince Consort see Chu Lu, and she immediately shouted even more miserably: "Your Majesty, kill me, kill me, I don't want to live anymore! Let me go down to accompany Wan'er!"
"Nonsense, you wouldn't have survived in the first place." Chu Lu said.
"Your Majesty." Jiang Xuening said at this time: "I am willing to surrender. I know a lot about Miechi Country, which will definitely come in handy. Please don't kill me."
When the prince-in-law heard this, he immediately glared at Jiang Xuening.
Chu Lu was too lazy to pay attention. He was not interested in destroying the Red Kingdom or anything like that. This was not within the scope of his mission.
Chu Lu looked at the Prince Consort and said, "Where is Cuihua?"
The consort did not answer, but said first: "Your Majesty, that Jiang Xuening is sinister, vicious, despicable, and the culprit who killed Wan'er. You must not let her go. As long as you promise to kill her, I will tell you. "
"It's nonsense again." Chu Lu said helplessly: "I had no intention of letting her go."
Jiang Xuening's face froze.
But the prince-in-law showed a smile and said: "Okay, okay! Then I will tell you now. Cuihua is still in the imperial capital!"
"Um?"
"Cuihua never left the imperial capital from the beginning." The Prince Consort said: "She just used flying pigeons to inform me of what happened in the imperial capital, and said that you, the emperor, might come over and asked me to prepare for an ambush. . It’s best to kill you. If that fails, then I’ll try my best to delay the rest.”
Chu Lu frowned slightly. He was not too surprised. After all, he had long thought about the possibility of swaying the tiger away from the mountain.
But the problem is that this round trip only lasts about ten days. What can she accomplish in this short time?
At this time, the soldier outside the door suddenly ran in grabbing a pigeon and said, "Your Majesty, this seems to be a flying pigeon delivering a message. Looking at the direction, it seems to be coming from the imperial capital." Chu Lu was stunned and thought. Want such a coincidence? Could it be from Cuihua again?
He took off the mailbox from the pigeon's leg, took out the envelope inside, opened it, and found that he had guessed correctly.
"If someone else sees this letter, please pass it on to the Emperor. If the person reading the letter is the Emperor, then I suggest you find a chair to sit down and read it again. It should be fine. I guess I can make a living."
Chu Lu sneered and continued to look down.
"Your Majesty, if you can read this letter, it means that you have arrived at the Prince Consort's Mansion and survived the ambush on the way. I want to praise you here. You are so awesome. The Royal Forest Army is still quite capable, hehe. But. This also shows that my plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain is successful. Of course, Your Majesty, you will be wondering, what is the use of transferring you away for ten days? It's simple, three words."
"Zhen! Bei! Hou!"
"I have known the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei a long time ago, and now I have successfully instigated the Marquis of Zhenbei through her. There are a total of 500,000 troops stationed at the border. Your Majesty, do you think if these 500,000 troops suddenly leave the border? , what will happen if you attack the imperial city? Your Dayan Dynasty is about to be destroyed."
"Of course, you may think that you are the emperor, and as long as you issue an imperial edict, Zhenbeihou will naturally obey his orders. Unfortunately, it is useless. I specially sought a few days to prepare for this matter. I have successfully persuaded Zhenbei Hou, let her make up her mind to rebel to the end, and she will not pay attention to your imperial edict. "
"Your Majesty, you have only one way left now, run away and join the feudal king. That way you can live for a while longer. Don't even think about surrendering, after all, I have already said it."
"I want the throne under you and the head on your body!"
After Chu Lu read it, his face was expressionless: "So that's it. Is this her plan?"
In his mind, Xu Liniang suddenly became extremely worried and said: "Chu Lu, what should I do? The other party is well prepared! If the Marquis of Zhenbei is really instigated by her, then we, then we..."
Chu Lu looked strange when he heard this: "No, are you serious?"
"ah?"
"Forget it. If you don't say anything, just watch my actual actions." Chu Lu threw the letter away, and then said to his soldiers: "Kill all the consorts, Jiang Xuening and related people. Unrelated servants first. Send it to the government and give it to them to guard. Leave some people behind to take care of the wounded soldier, and the rest will come back to Beijing with me!"
The Royal Forest Army moved very quickly, with nimble hands and feet. Half an hour later, they left Linyang and embarked on their return journey to the imperial capital.
Four days later, Chu Lu, who was galloping on horseback, suddenly saw a figure in front of him.
The figure seemed very excited when he saw Chu Lu, and rushed over, dancing.
When I took a closer look, I realized it was actually Xiao Lizi.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I have finally found you!" Xiao Lizi burst into tears with excitement, "There in the imperial capital, there in the imperial capital... you are a traitor and a traitor! You are a traitor and traitor!"
The army stopped. Chu Lu got off his horse and came to her and said, "Calm down and speak slowly. First, why are you here?"
"I escaped." Xiao Lizi gasped for a few times before saying: "I am a quiet person, so few people care about me, and I ran away early when something bad happened, so no one stopped me. After leaving the imperial capital, I thought I must tell the emperor about this, so I ran all the way to the Prince Consort's Mansion."
Xiao Lizi continued to shout: "Your Majesty! The daughters of the Marquis of Zhenbei and others..."
"Rebellion, I know." Chu Lu said: "Tell me the specific situation in the imperial capital. How are the conditions of Su Muyun, Zhao Shilang and others? What about the Imperial Guards now?"
