Chapter 715: A false scam, wasting one's life
"Did you lose in the end?"
"Damn it, damn it! They're really not afraid of being investigated by the Tiance Mansion after they do this?"
"These people have gone completely crazy."
"I thought the cultivator from Wanbao Tower could lead us out. Damn it! Lu Yu is the deputy general of Tiance Mansion after all. How dare he do this? How dare he collude with those people!"
"..."
When they watched helplessly as the man who defeated Mei Huaping was captured by Lu Yu, the monks in the city who had originally been expecting something and even wanted to join Gu Xiu in the resistance.
The courage that I had accumulated with great difficulty finally collapsed again.
What made everyone even more desperate was that, facing the angry but silent looks of the crowd, Lu Yu, who had just defeated Gu Xiu, turned his head and looked at everyone:
"As an ant, you should have the awareness of an ant."
"Tomorrow morning, I will kill this brat in public. All of you must come and see it."
"If anyone dares not to come..."
"Hum hum!"
Say it.
Lu Yu looked very proud as he swept through the group of frightened people in the city before turning around and leaving. The military guards in the city also immediately began to clear out the people in the city, mainly to prevent them from staying on the streets at will.
The only thing to be thankful for is.
Perhaps because Mei Huaping was seriously injured and unconscious, the Tiance Army in the city did not kill people as wantonly as Mei Huaping did. They just kept the city gate leading to Zhongzhou closed and did not allow anyone to enter.
But this is obviously not a good thing.
Many people in the city began to secretly plan and discuss, hoping to find a chance to escape from the North Gate. Meanwhile, there were also a few people whose eyes, amidst their fear and panic, concealed a hint of sharpness. This was especially true when they looked at Gu Xiu, who had been taken away by the Tiance Army, with a look of scrutiny...
but.
No matter if they were frightened or had undercurrents, Lu Yu paid no attention to the reactions of these people from beginning to end. He was strong enough and had absolute say in the North Gate Pass. Lu Yu seemed very happy to have defeated the powerful enemy this time, and immediately held a grand banquet in the general's mansion.
Cooking cattle and slaughtering sheep, singing and dancing!
Of course, he did not forget his "good friend" Mei Huaping. He immediately arranged for a military doctor to accompany him. Later, when the military doctor's treatment was ineffective, he sent people to search the city for doctors with relevant abilities, hoping to find someone to cure Mei Huaping.
There are many monks in the city, and some of them are good at medicine.
Soon, three people volunteered to go to the general's mansion to treat Mei Huaping.
Lu Yu ignored these people and continued to drink and get drunk that day. In the end, he had to be supported by his concubines to go back to his room to rest.
Just arrived in the room.
Lu Yu, who was originally still drunk, with hazy eyes and unsteady steps, immediately regained his composure. His eyes were frighteningly clear, without a trace of drunkenness. He asked:
"how's it going?"
"Just as you guessed, sir, the three doctors are here to investigate the situation." Someone responded secretly.
Lu Yu asked: "What about the dungeon?"
"A few people have sneaked in, but the dungeon is guarded by our elite troops, and those people are currently unable to actually enter and contact the target." The man in the dark replied.
Lu Yu nodded and subconsciously began to move his fingers lightly.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let them in for a while."
"This..." The person in the dark hesitated: "Isn't it too risky? If they confirm Gu Xiu's identity, all our efforts will be wasted."
"If we don't let them in, they won't feel at ease until they see anyone." Lu Yu shook his head.
"As for whether Gu Xiu's identity can be confirmed..."
"Gu Xiu won't let our efforts go to waste. He will cooperate with the acting. If all else fails, we'll give them another half a cup of tea to find out the truth. After that, we'll send someone to apprehend the thief who broke into the dungeon to rescue Guan Qiyu!"
As soon as these words came out, the people in the dark immediately reacted:
"good idea!"
"If you're being fake, then be real; if you're being real, then be fake. As long as Gu Xiu doesn't let you down, General, down on your kindness, he'll definitely not reveal his identity on purpose. Then we can take advantage of the opportunity to clean up the reputation of the thieves and get rid of the flies we've identified in the city. It's like killing two birds with one stone!"
"My subordinates will do it now!"
"No." Lu Yu shook his head and stopped the other party: "We have identified the people in the city who are related to the secret window. There is no need to waste too much energy to clean them up. Remember, our most urgent and important task is to ensure that Gu Xiu is safely sent out of the city. As for the situation in the city..."
"As long as we can buy time and ensure that Gu Xiu is safe, that will be enough."
The secret guard fell silent and disappeared immediately. He reappeared a moment later and said, "Sir, I have explained everything."
"Okay, I got it." Lu Yu nodded and continued to wipe a wine jug in front of him.
The wine jug was obviously old, but it was well maintained and polished to a shiny finish.
The room fell silent.
And in the long silence, the secret guard couldn't help but speak:
"Sir, this Gu Xiu..."
"Can you really be the key to this battle?"
"even……"
"Is it worth it for us to give up the North Gate?"
"Whether it's worth it or not, it's not up to me to say, and neither is it up to you." Lu Yu shook his head and smiled, still wiping the wine jug in his hand carefully, as if this wine jug looked nothing special.
It's like a rare treasure.
The secret guard couldn't help but ask, "Since the establishment of the North Gate Pass, our mission as guards has been to keep the gate alive while the people remain, and to destroy it while the people perish. Now, for just one person, we have to completely abandon the North Gate Pass. Isn't this... too much to pay?"
As a member of the Tiance Mansion, all soldiers must absolutely obey the orders of their superiors and will never hesitate.
But not hesitating doesn’t mean they won’t have their own doubts.
Lu Yu did not reprimand the other party, but was silent for a while, then said:
"If it were anyone else, I'm not sure."
"But if it's Gu Xiu..."
"North Gate Pass, maybe it really doesn't mean anything."
"Sir, are you so optimistic about Gu Xiu?" The secret guard was surprised.
"I'm not optimistic." Lu Yu shook his head. "I just have a good understanding of Gu Xiu. Because of this understanding, I believe that this person has a righteous heart and his future achievements will not be too low."
learn……
The secret guard was a little puzzled. He knew that Lu Yu had met Gu Xiu five hundred years ago, and even knew him together with Ye Wentian. However, Lu Yu was the commander-in-chief of a pass at that time, and his status and position were extraordinary. Even if he had met Gu Xiu, Gu Xiu was just a young man with some talent.
Why treat me so differently?
"Do you know that before Qingxuan was destroyed, I left Beimenguan for a while and went to Qingxuan to watch the battle?" Lu Yu asked.
"I know about this." The secret guard nodded, but soon became puzzled: "But didn't you say that time, sir, that you were just there to join in the fun?"
"It's true that we're joining in the fun, but there's another purpose."
"what?"
"If the situation gets bad, I'll take action against Gu Xiu."
"What...what?" The secret guard was surprised. He never expected that his master had even thought of taking action against Gu Xiu?
"Isn't it strange?" Lu Yu asked with a grin.
The secret guard nodded.
But Lu Yu lowered his head again, carefully wiped the wine jug in his hand, and then spoke slowly:
"In my life, I have lived up to the heavens and the earth, and lived up to justice and the people's hearts."
"I'm only sorry for one woman."
The secret guard was surprised and didn't understand why his master suddenly said this. What surprised him even more was that Lu Yu said, "I have a child."
Varied……
what!
The secret guard was completely shocked.
He had followed Lu Yu for many years and had always known that his master had laughed, scolded, and acted recklessly in the past, but in fact he was only concerned with being loyal to the Heavenly Strategy and justice, and had almost nothing to do with women, not to mention that he had no children.
But now, Lu Yu said that he had a child but he was completely unaware of it.
This is the most unimaginable thing.
But then, he suddenly realized something: "Sir, your child...isn't he in Qingxuan?"
"Yeah." Lu Yu nodded, wiping the wine jug and saying softly:
"I've been a secret agent for three hundred years. During these three hundred years, I've done a lot of things, big and small, and even used many different identities. But every time, no matter what identity it was, I knew what it was and what my mission was."
"Only that one time, twenty years ago, did I even think about using that identity for the rest of my life, away from all disputes."
Twenty years ago…
The secret guard pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered: "Twenty years ago, the master went to the Eastern Wasteland to track down clues about the secret window. He used the alias of a cultivator named Song and was a wanted criminal by our Tiance Mansion!"
"Yes, that time." Lu Yu's eyes flashed with reminiscence:
“The mission went smoothly and was ultimately completed very well.”
"It was just a little accident."
"I met a wonderful woman, wonderful, wonderful. She is chivalrous and righteous. She doesn't despise my background or care about my past. She is willing to share the good and bad times with me and travel the world with me."
"It's just a pity..."
"People like us don't deserve someone like this, so after completing the mission, I faked my own death and escaped, intending to end everything."
The secret guard remained silent, understanding Lu Yu's thoughts.
"Later, I almost forgot about that person. I thought someone as carefree as her should have forgotten me long ago. But I never expected that many years later I would find out that the woman had never let me go and even gave birth to a son for me."
"even……"
"She has been working hard to clear the name of my fake identity. She tried her best to overturn the verdict of my fake identity's death. But later she found that she was powerless and had no background, so she sent our child to Qingxuan, hoping that he could learn advanced cultivation there."
"Before she died, she wrote a letter to Qingxuan, telling our children."
"His father is a good man..."
Speaking of this, Lu Yu, such a man, had tears in his eyes.
The secret guard next to him also felt sympathetic when he heard this.
Lu Yu said it simply, but he could hear a deep sadness in the other person's tone.
This is a misunderstanding.
A man who was originally playing around in the world and planned to get away safely after completing his mission. He thought that the woman would be able to let go and start over like him.
But I didn't expect it.
Some people really let go, but some people are still trapped in it and unwilling to leave.
even……
For a false scam.
But it took a lifetime.
Suddenly, the secret guard suddenly thought of something:
"Sir, you...your child..."
"Is it Song Xingchen?"
