Lu Weigui clenched his fists tightly, trembling uncontrollably all over his body, clenching his teeth and clenching his jaw, it was obvious that there was a war between heaven and man in his heart.
Qin Yining quietly stood aside, seeing Lu Weigui like this, he was not dissatisfied. After all, when it comes to the lives of family members, struggles and hesitations are inevitable. From Lu Weigui's point of view, there is nothing wrong with what Lu Heng said. She is indeed a stranger. If she can be handed over and everyone will live, it is a really good business.
Qin Yining knew that the people around her were loyal and loyal, and would rather sacrifice herself than hand her over in a crisis. But Lu Weigui and the people under his command may not think so.
"What a trick to attack the heart." Qin Yining sighed lightly, frowning slightly.
If the rest of the yamen thought about it, they would have to fight against each other without waiting for Lu Heng to act.
Qin Yining's voice was not high, but Lu Weigui could hear it clearly. He suddenly regained his senses, his hands that clenched his fists were released, and he said loudly, "You scoundrel, the court is at a time of crisis. , but doing such things to take advantage of the fire! It's so despicable! We don't want to listen to the words of a villain like you! Even if you die, I won't let you get what you want!"
"Why bother." Lu Heng smiled, the corners of his lips full of sarcasm, "I thought Master Lu was a wise man, but I thought you were a fool too. What do you want to repay, is it the imperial court, the ignorant monarch, or the common people? Huh?"
His voice came into the courtyard clearly through a door, and Lu Weigui was immediately stopped. Holding his neck for a long time, Fang roared with red face: "Don't talk nonsense again! I won't believe your words!"
"It's up to you to believe it or not." Lu Heng said loudly, "I'll give you time to think about it. If you can't hand over Princess Zhongshun within two hours, I'll order someone to storm the government office. Think about it carefully, you guys. If you can't keep it, then I won't be merciful!"
After talking, Lu Heng threw away the drumstick, turned around and placed Dan Chi.
There was no movement in the yamen courtyard for a long time, including Qin Yining, they all listened carefully to the movement outside the door, only to hear a gust of wind blowing and the rustling of leaves, it seemed that the surroundings were quieter, and the mood became more and more uneasy.
After not listening to the voice outside the door for a long time, Lu Heng seemed to really give them time to think, Qin Yining then slowly came to Lu Weigui, smiled and said, "Master Lu don't have to be so embarrassed. Let's try our best to keep this place, if not, then It's okay to hand me over."
Qin Yining has already washed and wiped off the disguising ointment given by Xie Yue, and her skin has regained its usual white luster. Her pale face makes her eyebrows look like distant mountains and her lips are like dandruff. The smile is like peaches and plums.
Lu Weigui looked at it for a while, his face flushed, and he lowered his head to salute, and said sternly: "Princess, please don't do this, I will do my best to serve the saint when I get the salary of the court. The surnamed Lu acts like this, whether it is bearable or unacceptable. Forbearance! It is my incompetence not to be able to catch the rebels. If the princess is handed over to the rebels again, then in addition to being incompetent, we big men will lose even the most basic virtues of being a human being. The princess must not mention this again. already."
Lu Weigui's voice was loud, and the officers who listened to it were also excited for a while. A man can do something or not, and many people are ashamed because of the wavering just now.
But Qin Yining knew that their hearts were shaken for a moment, and it was a matter of time before they were in danger. This is also human nature, and you can't blame them.
It's time to think of a way out.
Qin Yining had another chat with Lu Weigui and went back to the room.
Jing Zhe only left two people to guard in front of the door, and the others followed.
Ji Yun's pretty face turned pale, and she lowered her voice and said anxiously: "Princess, this servant sees that this situation is not good. If Lu Heng really leads people to storm the government office two hours later, those people are afraid that they will really hand you over."
"Yeah, princess, I just looked around carefully and found that the group of people seemed to be shaken. Why don't we go ahead while the chaos."
Liao Zhibing said anxiously: "But it's hard to get out of the sky now. The city is in chaos. You listen to the movement outside the wall. I'm afraid there are not a thousand or eight hundred people waiting outside, just waiting for us to go out."
The crowd was at a loss.
Qin Yining thought for a while and said, "This is indeed not the time to break out of the encirclement. If Lu Heng wants to arrest me, he must have arrangements in all directions where he can go out, just waiting for me to throw himself into the net, and stay in the mansion for the time being. Yali is the safest."
Looking up at the few people, Qin Yining reassured: "But I also know that even if Lu Heng captures me, he won't want my life. We are waiting to guard the government office and try our best to guard it. If we really miss, call Lu Heng. Heng's people broke in, you don't have to fight with his people recklessly, I pretended to be arrested, and you all tried to follow me, knowing my direction so that the king's brigade could come and save me."
Xiaoxue pursed her lips and said, "Princess, we will never give you to someone named Lu."
"Yes, Alliance Leader." Meng Qin was also anxious, "What are you talking about, can we watch you get arrested in a crisis? We are desperate to not want to, but also... "
"It's not worth fighting for something like this." Qin Yining interrupted Meng Qin's words and said solemnly, "It's not a matter of life or death. I'm caught and have a chance to be rescued. If you all try your best, you won't have a chance to survive. Forget it. Don't forget your identities, you have to follow my instructions. There is no need to discuss this matter, just follow my instructions. "
Qin Yining gave the tea after a strong order.
Everyone looked at each other and wanted to persuade a few more words, but they all knew Qin Yining's temperament, she would not turn back after she made a decision. Besides, they don't have a better way now.
In the blink of an eye, two hours passed, and the sky was completely dark.
In the city, the lights were not turned off at the curfew as usual. Today, the streets are extraordinarily lively, and the lights from the outside can still be seen from the high walls of the government office.
The city seemed to be extraordinarily lively, and there was no more cries and noises from the people. Qin Yining even heard someone laughing.
Lu Heng came to the front of the mansion and asked with a smile: "How is it, have you figured it out? Hand over the Princess Zhongshun, and the matter will be resolved. Otherwise, you will become grievances under the sword. Figure out whether it's worth it to lose your life for someone who doesn't have anything to do with it."
There was a dead silence in the yamen, and no one said a word.
Qin Yining led the people to the courtyard, and saw Lu Weigui wrinkling his face, clenching his fists bitterly.
Not to mention the officers, there are a few with knives in their hands, their arms hanging naturally, and they have completely lost their fighting spirit.
Qin Yining sighed lightly, knowing that it would be impossible to escape Lu Heng's hand today, either go out on his own or lose so many lives before being caught. The same time is caught, or the former is less expensive.
"I'll go with you." Qin Yining's gentle voice came out of the palace gate in the night wind.
