Xing Xie's red eyes fell on Li Jun.
Li Jun grinned at him.
Xing Xie looked at Shang Lijun's provocative eyes for a moment, and finally looked away. Generally speaking, animals are more sensitive to danger than humans, and in the crowd, simple-minded people are actually more malicious and threatening to others than others. Ordinary people should be sensitive. The moment Xing Xie looked at the woman next to Lu Mu, he felt the long-lost threat.
Logically speaking, Xing Xie is under the name of Qin Guoshi, and Wu Lu has made a lot of achievements after going through the battles of the rivers and lakes. He is also considered a rare opponent in the martial arts, but facing this casually dressed woman with weird hair, he only feels a chill down his spine. , the place where Lu Mu beat him up with three meals a day started to hurt again. In the past, if he met a master between brothers, he would definitely ask for advice before giving up, but now, he dare not have this at all. thought.
He didn't want to be abused unilaterally.
"Brother, since these lackeys from the Liao Kingdom have been caught, you can follow me up the mountain. A few days ago, I took over the Qingzhu Village, and now I am the head of this land with a radius of forty miles. You will not have Dangerous," Xing Xie said, "It's a coincidence that I just went to Pingyuan Town to find an inn to stay in, but I heard the conversation next door. It's unlucky for them, I don't know I'm hard of hearing For ordinary people, their voices were lowered a lot, but I still heard it. Originally, I didn't want to care about these court affairs, but this matter involves you. I sent someone to Xiangzhou to deliver a letter to you on the same day, but it was too late. "
After Xing Xie finished speaking, he was about to step forward to help Lu Mu get out of the car. Lu Mu shook his head and stopped his movements: "Xing Xie, the military situation is urgent, and I have to hurry back to Xiangzhou as soon as possible. I can't go up the mountain with you. Interrogate these... traitors here."
Seeing that Lu Mu had been injured and tortured a lot in the past few days, but he was not defeated, Xing Xie was relieved, and with a wave of his hand, his subordinates escorted Yan Wu over under his signal, and Li Jun cooperated to lift him up. He drove the chain and dragged out the woman who was dizzy in pain.
The woman inside was awakened by Li Jun's rude movements, she managed to open her eyes, only to find that she was dragged out of the carriage, her eyes went black for a while, the penetrating wound on her calf was still bleeding, and her shoulders were stretched unnaturally. Just to prevent her from making other moves, the bandits under Xing Xie didn't care that she was a delicate woman, and rudely pulled her hand behind her, held her head with one hand, and pressed her to the ground.
She opened her mouth and took a mouthful of dust, but she felt someone lift her face up. In the gradually clear sight, Lu Mu sat cross-legged in front of her, looking for seams around her ear, The ancient disguise technique is actually very simple, there will still be flaws if you look at it a little more, the expression on the face is a bit stiff, he looked at the woman a few more times when he was in the car, but he didn't expect that she was燊红.
A layer of rough skin was peeled off from the red face, revealing the white and rosy skin inside, which was as smooth as an egg with its shell removed, but Lu Mu rubbed it on his lapel as if he had touched something dirty. After two or three times, I finally asked: "I have treated you three brothers and sisters well, why are you still collaborating with the enemy and treason?"
Yan Hong raised her head in embarrassment. She never dreamed that she would be so unlucky. Few people knew what they did back then, but they were still discovered. If the matter hadn't been revealed, they would not have ended up in such a situation.
Thinking of the sisters in the carriage who were still alive or dead, Chi Hong felt a sharp pain in her heart. Even if she wanted to quibble, no matter what she said, this man would not believe her anymore, so why not admit it openly. She said in a hoarse voice: "We had to do this as a last resort, Lu Mu, if you want to blame, I will blame you for never showing mercy!"
"I never thought that you would actually sell illegal salt," Lu Mu said in a hoarse voice, "You guys know that selling illegal salt is a felony, and such a large amount is enough to hang you on the tower!"
The injured young man next to him spit out a pile of blood foam from his mouth. Xing Xie didn't hold back his hand a few times. They were all trembling. Seeing Lu Mu's disappointed eyes, he felt guilty, then gritted his teeth and looked at him, and said coldly, "Second sister, don't talk to him!"
Then he looked at Lu Mu coldly: "General, we are the ones who can't help you. If you want to kill or cut, you can listen to it!"
Lu Mu felt a little chilled by this look, and he said slowly, "Tell me, Yan Wu, why are you acting as lackeys of the Liao Kingdom."
When the young man heard this, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face dressed as a woman: "Lu Mu, do you still remember that you caught a group of merchants selling private salt two months ago?"
Lu Mu naturally remembered that the impact of that incident was too bad. The batch of good-quality fine salt shipped from outside the customs was poisoned chronically, and was investigated by Lu Mu's subordinate General Zuoyi in Xiangzhou City. The origin of this batch of salt is not correct, and the amount of salt exceeds three shi. The imperial court strictly prohibits illicit salt. Once caught selling illicit salt, the amount exceeds three shi. Illegal salt infused with chronic poison almost entered the army!
The chief culprit of the smuggling of salt and several masterminds involved were all beheaded on the spot. General Zuoyi supervised and beheaded himself, and those under his command who did not report the knowledge were all treated as military slaves, and the rest were all sent to prison. The punishment was extremely severe.
Lu Mu's face showed a bit of surprise: "The three of you are the masterminds who have not been caught?"
The young man gritted his teeth and nodded, he sneered and said: "At the beginning, our three brothers and sisters took refuge in you, and we did a lot of things for you, but it is a pity that you run the army strictly. He is quite a hero in Jianghu, and he has done a lot of robbing the rich and helping the poor. He is used to being extravagant. The little military salary you gave us was not enough for us to go to restaurants a few times, so we used the customs clearance documents and routes you gave us. This led to the sale of private salt."
"Originally, this matter was not a big deal. We have always been very careful and did not leave any traces, but we did not expect that something would happen when you were preparing for war with the Liao army, and we would be found out," said the young man. He took a breath, the pain in his chest caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead, he raised his head with a wry smile on his face, "And, on the second day when this matter was found out, when we were lucky, we received A letter."
Lu Mu asked, "What letter?"
Yan Wu said: "The letter from the Liao Kingdom, if we don't follow what they say, the evidence of our smuggling of salt will appear in your study. But there are soldiers who follow you, we people can only be regarded as dogs under your command, according to your ruthless and merciless behavior, if we are found out, all three of us brothers and sisters will die!"
Lu Mu was silent for a moment, but he heard Li Jun next to him ask, "Speaking of which, where did your private salt come from?"
The young man looked up, but saw a twenty-three or four-year-old woman in the carriage looking at him with a smile on her face. She had a long knife without a sheath on her waist, and her lips were thin. It seemed that she was definitely not weak.
He smiled miserably: "Your question is on point. We found out later that the batch of salt was tampered with by the Liao army. We didn't want to treason, but ants were greedy for life. At that time, in order to survive, we had no choice but to buy salt." Do as they say."
Lu Mu resisted the urge to chop him up with a knife, and punched him in the face, his face turned sideways, nosebleeds flowed, and Lu Mu's angry voice brewing a storm came from his ears: "Because of your lying military information, The five thousand soldiers of my Great Yan Kingdom were buried without a place to die. At the beginning, Xing Xie persuaded me that most of you people in the Jianghu are just for fame and fame, and you should not be reused. It is because I trusted you that I buried the lives of thousands of soldiers."
Yan Hong looked at Lu Mu's face twitching/twitching due to anger, and suddenly sneered: "General Zhenbei, although we deserve to die, but all of this was forced by others and we did it helplessly. The mastermind behind us That's the culprit."
Lu Mu's fingers touched the wound on his heel, and the toxins on his body were not removed. At this time, under the panic, his whole face showed an unnatural flush. Li Jun held his shoulder behind him and said : "Don't get angry, there is nothing in this world worth being angry about."
After persuading Lu Mu, Li Jun turned his head and lifted his red jaw with one foot: "Speak."
Yan Hong couldn't help but said: "General, we have said, you have to promise to spare our lives, you have to promise from the general, the general will keep his word, and we will tell the truth."
Lu Mu's eyes were about to burst into flames, but he held back. He opened his eyes to this shameless sworn brother and sister, but his expression became more gentle: "Okay."
