After about half an hour, the door of the secret room opened.
The lights also turned on.
After a night of wind and rain, the clear air seeped in, which instantly relieved his depression and grief.
There were three people, an old man in his sixties and two young people.
"you're awake?"
The old man had a gentle voice and a kind face, so he was not expected to be a bad person.
He smiled gratefully and wanted to stand up to salute, but found a sharp pain that made it difficult to move.
"Thank you for saving me, husband! I'm sorry that I can't get up."
The old man also smiled.
"It's a simple task, don't worry about it! Your Excellency is wearing a suit of armor. I guess you have a high status in the army, but why were you in such a miserable state last night?"
Mr. Lu stopped beating around the bush and asked directly.
This question made him hesitate again in grief, and he was speechless for a while.
When Mr. Lu saw this situation, he knew that he must have ulterior motives. But if you don't understand this person's identity, you will feel uneasy after all.
"My surname is Lu. As the owner of the Shangluo Guild Hall, I have made a living by opening a boxing gym for generations. I can get along well with the local officials. I can still talk to you about ordinary things. If you are really a rebel, I There is nothing you can do. Therefore, I can only advise you to recover from your injuries and leave as soon as possible. From now on, never say a word about Shangluo Guild Hall again, let alone whether it is kindness or not."
When I say this, I actually mean that even if you are a rebel, I recognize you, but I don’t need to remember this kindness anymore. After you recover from your injuries, you can go your own way without disturbing me.
Naturally he understood it as soon as he heard it.
"Alas, rebels!"
After sighing softly, he seemed to have made a lot of determination and slowly told his story.
It turned out that he was Jin Ba, the general under King Cheng. His real name was Jin Tianxing. Because Munanji was named Yunnanba, he changed his name to Jinba like Lu Xianyun.
Jin Ba was well versed in the art of using troops and was the most valued general of King Cheng. This time, King Cheng launched an uprising and pretended to leave Tongguan, crossing the Qinling Mountains and passing Shangluo. Unexpectedly, somehow, their march plan was fully known to the imperial court.
The Tongguan route was led by the eldest son of King Cheng, with the intention of creating the illusion that King Cheng was heading west from this point. The Shangluo road was led by King Cheng himself, who planned to use unexpected troops to control Xiangyang, from the south to the north.
This book is also a good move. If the eldest prince's advance is unfavorable, he can retreat to Tongguan. Due to the natural dangers, the imperial army will be in trouble. And as long as Shangluo's extraordinary troops come out and take control of Jingchu, the situation will be greatly different.
Unfortunately, the strange soldiers were ambushed by the imperial army just halfway out. How many heroes have their bones buried in the vast Qinling Mountains.
Jin Ba was separated from King Cheng in a chaotic battle. He led a group of personal guards to break through the encirclement. When they fled to Shangluo, there was not much left. Fortunately, it was windy and rainy, which caused certain difficulties for the enemy's pursuit. In order to cover him, the remaining guards voluntarily stayed behind and gave him a chance to run to Shangluo Guild Hall.
As soon as Jin Ba finished speaking, Mr. Lu and the Lu brothers had basically understood. The group of people last night were undoubtedly members of the imperial court. No wonder they were not given any face.
But what they didn't know was that as early as half a month ago, the imperial court had secretly mobilized a large army to pass through Shangluo and lie down in the Qinling Mountains. The local garrison in Shangluo had also been secretly controlled by the imperial court.
However, Mr. Lu never cared about these things, so he naturally didn't hear any trouble.
However, Mr. Lu still admires King Cheng very much. Since King Cheng came to the northwest, the people in the northwest have been at peace, and everyone praises him. Like Shangluo, although it faces Chang'an across the Qinling Mountains, King Cheng's favor still benefits him.
So, now that he figured out Jin Ba's identity, Mr. Lu made a decision.
"General Jin, just stay at Shangluo Guild Hall. I will protect you with my life and property!"
