Chapter 270: The fish is dead and the net is broken.

Chapter 270 The fish is dead and the net is broken.

The shining tip of the knife was only more than a foot away from the tip of Liuli's nose. There seemed to be a chill piercing her eyes. Liuli subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but immediately gritted her teeth and raised her head to look at Captain Zhou. Her voice became clearer and clearer, "Excuse me, Captain." , How can I be bold?"

Colonel Zhou shouted sternly, "You dare to slander Daduhu for treason with your empty teeth. I think you are the one who is going to rebel! As my captain, do you really dare not kill you?"

Seeing Mrs. Chang Shi being pointed at a knife and saying the word "kill", both the hundreds of Xizhou people who were watching and the hundreds of soldiers from the government immediately started making noises, and the soldiers came together again Shu drew his sword out of its sheath. Not to be outdone, the Yizhou border troops also faced each other with their swords. The atmosphere immediately became tense again. Just as Yunyi and Feng Piaopiao were about to step forward, the Xizhou Tuanzheng rushed over with a single stride and blocked it with a cold wave of his knife, "I want to see what you are capable of killing someone in front of someone's eyes!"

 Zhou Xiaowei said angrily, "Okay, okay! We are really going to rebel!"

Liuli laughed loudly, "The captain's words are very interesting. He is going to rebel against everything. What do you mean by empty words and white teeth, slandering the capital to protect the capital for rebellion? I would like to ask, you sent troops to seize the city and surrounded the government office, but... Is there any evidence of guilt? If not, why don't you just accuse the officials of Xizhou of plotting rebellion? You can do it, so why can't I tell you that this is Xizhou of the Tang Dynasty, not the Su family? In Xizhou, the governor of Xizhou and the governor of Xizhou are all imperial officials, not servants of the Su family. The people of Xizhou and the soldiers of Xizhou are all people of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the pigs and dogs of the Su family. , you sent troops to fight and kill without the permission of the court, what is this but treason? Remember the tragedy of Tadu back then, it is thanks to Protector Su that we don’t use bows and swords now! It's just rebellion. If you put down your bow and sword, you'll kill him anyway. Why should you slaughter him like a pig or a sheep?"

"Also, you keep saying that you are slandering the Great Protector, which means you want to rebel or kill me. So what if you say that I have not slandered you, but you are slandering me? Conspiracy and rebellion, rebellion against the Tang Dynasty, and rebellion against the Holy Emperor are treason, but you don't know that the Great Protector is slandering. It is written in the law of the Tang Dynasty that slandering Su Haizheng, the Protector of Su, is treason. Could it be that in your hearts, Su Haizheng is the imperial court and the Holy Emperor? Just by your words, it is conclusive evidence that he is guilty and deserves to be punished! "

Colonel Zhou’s face suddenly turned purple, and he almost wanted to slash the woman in front of him with a clear voice and heart-wrenching words. But I heard someone from the Xizhou crowd gathering at the other end of the long street shouting loudly, "Exactly, you people say that Xizhou people are comrades with the traitors without any evidence. I think you are the traitors." If your fellow thieves were not guilty, why would you kill people in the street and silence them? Who do you think you are? Whoever you say rebels is a rebel, and whoever you say you want to kill will be killed. Do you think we Xizhou people are all chickens, ducks, and cows? Sheep?" Someone else shouted, "Let's go back and get our bows and arrows, and teach these thieves what it means to be a Xizhou person!"

Lu Qingyan's face had changed several times, and he was frightened and angry. He really didn't know whether this Kudi had seen something or was just talking nonsense, so he could confuse people like this. He calmed down, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Chang Shi, you are also a daughter of an official family. Don't you know how guilty it is to slander Shangfeng? If you continue to talk nonsense like this, don't blame me for offending you!"

Liuli replied, "Excuse me, Master Lu, why did I slander Shangfeng? Xizhou is not a military camp. Who gave Su Dadu Protector such great authority that he could send troops to surround the government office and arrest third-rank officials without reporting to the court? Who knows that this dispatch of troops in Western Xinjiang is all thanks to Governor Qu's dedicated efforts to raise grain and rice military supplies, which is a lot of money. In order to protect the military supplies, Prince Qu and Pei Changshi have just killed more than a thousand thieves. They have made outstanding contributions. The leader said that they were rebelling, which is really unreasonable! If they are also rebelling, who in Western Xinjiang can be innocent?"

She looked at Lu Qingyan with a sarcastic smile, "If you hadn't been wearing the official robes and armor of the Tang Dynasty, who in the world would have believed that you were arresting traitors? I'm afraid you are here to avenge those horse thieves!"

Lu Qingyan's face suddenly changed, and he shouted angrily, "What are you talking nonsense!" Captain Zhou's face, which was originally red and purple, suddenly turned pale, and thousands of people seemed to appear in front of him again. A scene of ice-cold heads piled up at the gate of the Great Protectorate.

Liuli looked at them quietly, suddenly smiled, and raised her voice a little higher, "If Master Lu thinks I'm talking nonsense, it's easy to say. Why don't you ask Su Dadu to fold the protective gear and show it to the court?" Look, is he trying to frame his subordinates, or am I slandering Shangfeng? I think the imperial court must be very interested in the sudden appearance of thousands of horse thieves in Western Xinjiang, and it will be even more interesting that the people who killed the horse thieves happened to be from the Xingxi Death Khan. Interested, Chief Lu, do you think so or not?”

Master Lu felt a cold feeling in his heart. He couldn't imagine how the woman in front of him could see through the trap at a glance. He couldn't help but look at Captain Zhou, but he also saw the same feeling in his eyes. A sudden panic followed by a cold murderous intention.

His mind was in confusion, but he heard Liuli say calmly, "Master Lu, I am just a woman, and I have no interest in this troublesome Khan and horse thieves. As long as my family and friends are safe, that's fine. But if someone insists on forcing me, , I am not afraid of the fish dying and the net being broken, and we will die together! Anyway, if I am killed in Xizhou today, there will be noble people who will avenge me afterwards and kill the murderer. Those who are willing to put the lives of their families at risk may as well do it now. "

Colonel Zhou was stunned when he heard these words, but Lu Qingyan suddenly remembered all the rumors about the Kudi family in Chang'an. I heard that this Kudi family not only served the current queen, but also donated millions of family assets to the queen's family. This queen's skills are known to the world. Those who serve her, such as those in Li Yifu, can do anything no matter how arrogant and domineering they are. Those who were protected by her but offended them ended up in a miserable state, which shows how much she holds grudges and defends her shortcomings. If she really kills Cudi in public, her words of "ransacking the house and exterminating the family" are definitely not empty threats...

Thinking of this, the murderous intention in his heart suddenly turned into a chill. He quickly grabbed Colonel Zhou and whispered, "This Kudisi once served the current queen and is very favored by the queen."

 Today’s Queen? Of course Captain Zhou had also heard about the **** storm that swept through the imperial court a few years ago. The hand that was clinging to the handle of the knife with protruding veins suddenly lost seven percent of its strength.

Lu Qingyan's mind also turned around several times: Pei Xingjian was the son of a hero of the Tang Dynasty. He came from a famous family. It was originally too unbelievable to say that he colluded with the Turkic Khan to rebel. Su Dadu only planned to let him "commit suicide", but now it seems that he has colluded with the Turkic Khan to rebel. We have to make other plans. Anyway, we need to stabilize this Cudi first! He made up his mind, but his voice was still a bit stern when he spoke, "Mrs. Kudi, I don't know what you are talking nonsense about. What a serious crime this rebel and traitor has committed. How can you be allowed to be so comfortable with the officials of the Tang Dynasty?" , please respect yourself and stop saying stupid things about killing people!"

Liuli secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Chief Lu knew a lot of things and was not willing to put his family and life on the line... She couldn't help but smile, "The Chief said it well. He is a traitor to the Party and a traitor. How can such a serious crime be allowed to be committed by someone with ulterior motives on a member of the imperial court? Master Lu can’t do it, and neither can I.” Lu Qingyan took a breath and nodded with a smile on his face, “Mrs. Kudi. He is indeed a sensible person. Speaking of which, Changshi Pei was originally a pillar of the Tang Dynasty, so he would not have anything to do with the rebels. He is just Governor Qu and the Crown Prince. Some matters still need to be asked to accompany the army to the capital to protect the account..."

Before he finished speaking, Tuan Zheng said sternly, "Don't even think about it!"

Liuli looked at Lu Qingyan and nodded gently, "Exactly, don't even think about it."

Lu Qingyan’s face couldn’t help but look even more ugly—this Kudisi was actually pushing the envelope! Before I could think of what to say, I heard someone behind me exclaim, "What are they going to do?"

But on the high walls on both sides of West Long Street, dozens of Xizhou men had appeared at some point, holding bows and quivers on their waists, looking fiercely at these Yizhou frontier troops. Behind them, Behind them, there were still figures emerging one after another. Although their clothes were of various kinds, they were all armed with knives and arrows. Their fierceness and unruly demeanor were also the same.

Lu Qingyan and Captain Zhou looked at each other, feeling chilled. They naturally knew that the people of Xizhou were fierce and brave, and the Qu family and Pei Xingjian were very popular, so they had to guard the city gate as quickly as possible and capture Qu. The father and son were taken out of the city, but they never thought about it...

Liuli's eyes turned to the wall, and a smile appeared on his face. These Xizhou men did not disappoint anyone. They might not dare to fight against thousands of officers and soldiers with their own strength, but if they aroused their anger and Fear made them fight side by side with hundreds of Xizhou children, and they still had this **** spirit.

Looking at Lu Qingyan's face, she smiled and lowered her voice, "Master Lu is familiar with the classics and history, so he naturally knows that the laws of heaven have common sense and the people's will cannot be violated. It is said that those who understand current affairs are heroes. There are some things that cannot be contained in paper. , Taking risks in desperation may lead to self-destruction, and the sky is the limit for retreating! The most important thing is that once the killing is successful, who knows whose turn it will be in this world? , there is nothing more important than your own wealth and life, Master Lu, I advise you to think more carefully and take care of yourself. "

Lu Qingyan snorted coldly and did not answer. Captain Zhou glared at Liuli fiercely, and couldn't help but look at Lu Qingyan, "Master Lu, what should we do now?"

Lu Qingyan's face was as dark as water, and he said coldly, "I will repay the favor, sir. Guard the gates of Xizhou City and the front and rear of the Governor's Mansion. Not even a mosquito can fly out!" He turned and walked towards the gate of the Governor's Mansion. Go, the wind no longer glances at Liuli.

Liuli smiled slightly, turned to Yunyi and Fengpianpian behind him and said, "This Master Lu is actually a smart man."

The sound was neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough to reach Colonel Zhou's ears. He was shocked. Looking at Lu Qingyan's back, a trace of suspicion appeared on his face.

In the Dudu's Mansion, dozens of Su Haizheng's soldiers were surrounded outside the main hall. There were twenty or thirty officers and servants of the Dudu's Mansion standing under the steps. There were also dozens of officers and officials standing not far away. On one side, the faces varied.

In the silence, Qu Zhizhan's voice came out clearly in the main hall. The voice was always gentle, but now it was as sharp as a blade, "Master Su, Qu is an official of the imperial court. Protecting temperance, life and death appointments are not decided by him. If you want to take me today, unless you ask for the Holy Emperor's edict, or with a military order, you want Qu to follow you and leave Xizhou for no reason. Even if I am willing, the court system is also No! There are also these five hundred Xizhou soldiers, you might as well go and see if they are willing!"

Su Nanjin in the main room looked at Qu Zhizhan with an angry face. Commander Qu was usually so cowardly, but today he was so weak. He had tried to evade the situation before, but now he was getting tougher and tougher. Thinking of the reward he received just now from his own soldiers. , and his heart was filled with anger. Qu Zhizhan dared to disobey military orders. Could it be that the soldiers of Xizhou Prefecture also dared to disobey military orders? Just as I was feeling depressed and angry, someone outside the door said, "Sir, the master has something to report."

Su Nanjin glanced at Qu Zhizhan again, turned around and walked out quickly. After hearing Lu Qingyan's report, his face was already livid, he thought for a moment and said in a cold voice, "In this case, we don't need to do anything extra. Take them out of the city, simply..." He put his palm down and sneered, "Isn't it all done in one go?"

Uploaded at midnight, asking for the guaranteed pink color in March... If you all support it, I will work hard to code it. Let's see how Liuli and Pei Jiu combine their swords to turn the world upside down.

There will be another chapter in the afternoon!
