At this moment, Ronglu's back was pressed against the wall tiles of the city gate, and he used Lian Xi's body to block these dead soldiers. He was protected by his own guards on the left and right, and he was hiding in a safe corner for the time being.
At this time, he stared at Lian Xi with scarlet eyes and shouted angrily, "Have you lost your mind and gone crazy? What benefit has Hun Jun given you? What benefit has he given you?"
"His country is in danger of losing, and you still sacrifice your life for him? Your brother is such a shrewd man, how can he have a good-for-nothing brother like you?"
"Speak! Are you mute?"
Lian Xi was stabbed in both sides and injured his alveoli. When he opened his mouth, blood bubbles were spat out, with a miserable smile on his face, "Ah...hehe...I wanted to kidnap you...cough cough cough..."
Before he even finished speaking, he started coughing desperately, and blood sprayed all over Ronglu's face!
At this time, the massacre in the city gate cave was coming to an end. After all, Ronglu had tens of thousands of cavalry to supplement him, and all Lian Xi could use were his own 100 dead soldiers.
There are a thousand green camp soldiers and a thousand flag camp soldiers in Tianjin Wei inner city, and they have no intention of getting started!
Lian Xi's people died one by one, and Ronglu's people died one by one. Soon the bloody battle in the city gate ended, and the ground was covered with layers of corpses, half of which had not yet died.
More and more rebels rushed up and hacked to death the last enemies around Ronglu. A group of people held bloody butcher knives and stared at the dying Lian Xi about to attack.
At this time, Ronglu didn't know why he was crazy and shouted at his men, "Get out of here! Even if this kid dies, I have to kill him with my own hands. You all get out..."
The guards took three steps back, leaving a small circle for Ronglu. At this time, Ronglu calmed down a little, and laid Lian Xi flat on the ground, letting his back rest against several corpses.
Try to make him sit as comfortably as possible. "Lian Xi... I know you don't have the intention to kill me... things happen in a hurry. If you really want to kill me, I can't escape!"
"You actually didn't use enough strength... Your purpose was to put the knife on my neck and kidnap me, right?"
"You want to kidnap me and then use my life to threaten my men? You want to guard this Tianjin Guard and serve Emperor Tongzhi, right?"
"You smiled...Brother, you smiled, I guessed it right..."
"If you were determined to stab me in the heart or neck, I wouldn't be able to dodge at such a close distance... You wouldn't want to kill me in the end! Do you..."
Ronglu was talking to himself, tears falling down for no apparent reason, and Lian Xi also smiled. When he smiled, blood spurted out from the corner of his mouth. When he took a breath, he coughed, and even when he coughed, blood spurted out.
"Brother...brother..."
Ronglu couldn't stop crying, "What are you doing? Tell the truth... What can I do if you surrender? What kind of ecstasy did Hunjun give you?"
"What's so good about you working so hard for him? What's going on? Tell the truth..."
Lian Xi gathered up the last bit of strength before she died and said, "Brother...you...what don't you understand..."
"Our family...but...ahem...it's just hedging our bets...that's all..."
Just this sentence, like a thunder strike, lit up in Ronglu's heart. He suddenly understood that he was not stupid to begin with, but he just fought all night and his brain was temporarily short-circuited and he couldn't think of it.
With just a few words from Lian Xi, Ronglu was enlightened and understood everything!
"You...your family's decision? Are you sent to Hunjun's side?"
"Ah... I see, that's it... hedging your bets! Your brother Lian Xing has secretly taken refuge with Prince Gong. I'm afraid this happened a long time ago..."
"So the Hunjun will cause trouble for you when he comes to power. If there is no clear evidence, then first remove all your brother's errands. Your position as head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be lost..."
"But your life is different... Those old men in your family want you two to bet on both sides? Let you work for Emperor Tongzhi!"
"Haha... No matter who loses or wins, the family will always be able to continue... One person will be promoted and the other will be beheaded. There is no reason to confiscate the family..."
"Hahaha...hahaha..." Rong Lu smiled with tears streaming down his face. "Okay! A bunch of old gangsters are so willing to give up! Their children and grandchildren are just their pawns!"
"Filial piety...filial piety...I'm filial as fuck!"
Lian Xi shook his head, "Cough cough cough...don't...don't scold...cough cough cough...brother is so good to me...I remember..."
"But... ahem... the family... also has its own difficulties... we have to survive... Brother, give me a good time!"
"Give me a break... I will complete my mission only if I die... Only Lian Xi who died in battle... can... cough cough cough... can be remembered by His Majesty for his contribution..."
"If...what if...what if His Majesty wins...my life...can be exchanged for my family's...life!"
At this moment, Lian Xi had used up the last of his strength, and the wound in his lungs was getting bigger due to coughing. Ronglu grabbed his hand and started to tremble.
"Brother... it's not easy for us... Wuwuwu... People all over the world see that our bannermen and nobles are all born, and we don't have to work to enjoy the hot food..."
"Fuck my ancestors! Who knows the hellish life we live, those stinky people?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...My father, my uncles, my uncles, sold their children and grandchildren's lives to gamble on the family's wealth. What a fucking piece of shit!"
"In order to become an official, I gave my daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law to sleep with Shangguan... I was a cuckold and had to smile and kowtow to Shangguan..."
"Good old man... What a day to sell your penis to Long Yang's good master... Fuck his ancestors, what kind of ghost day is this..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuah...Brother! You are not worthy...you are not worthy!"
Ronglu hugged his younger brother and cried loudly. The guards around him took three steps back without saying a word, and then collectively turned their backs to the commander.
These domestic slave guards would never let outsiders see the weak side of their master. They drove irrelevant personnel away from the door, leaving only the Ronglu brothers.
Are there any pure bad people in this world? In fact, they are all poor people who were forced out by the situation!
Ronglu really wants to hang out with the Japanese? When he was patrolling in Shanxi, he was captured by Isiha's scapegoating army. He had no choice but to become a rebel in order to survive!
If he had escaped that time and returned to the capital, perhaps his fate would have changed again!
The man he loves in his arms is unable to control his own destiny. Who should he fight against? To the grandfather who gave him orders? biological father? Uncle uncle?
You must die if you want to. Under family orders, you don't even have the right to breathe!
Children and grandchildren are just chips for betting on both sides!
Lian Xi whispered in Ronglu's ear, "Hurry...cut the knife quickly...brother...it hurts..."
Ah... Ronglu let out a wolf howl, and stabbed Lian Xi in the heart with the sharp knife in his hand. At that moment, he saw the six or seven-year-old Lian Xi, the little brother who was chasing after him for candied haws.
Just like this blood bubble, with a pop... disillusionment!
