Obviously, Wanfu still doesn't know that Lu Fangxuan has already started taking action. Wan Heshun adhered to the principle of defeating the enemy, so he did not dare to make a hasty decision before getting specific information.
But Lu Fangxuan is on the defensive, so he doesn't have to be timid. He can deal with it flexibly and turn his passive into active. It is important to hide from the eyes and ears of all parties. A confidant took advantage of this and offered advice, saying: "Please leave a few people in the house, light the lamps as usual, and then turn off the lights according to the usual schedule, so that outsiders will not be suspicious; the various armies on the street can sneak in In the patrol team, if you can’t identify it clearly in the dark, it will definitely confuse others.”
Lu Fangxuan felt that this was reasonable, so he added an expedient plan: "If something happens in one area, we need to fly to the palace to report the soldiers and armor, make the lamps flicker on and off, and attract thousands of people to our country." Come up to the house and we can wait for an opportunity to escape."
Lu Fangxuan informed the generals of this plan one by one, and their responsibilities were assigned before they officially set off.
Lu Fangxuan only took a few confidants with him, and followed the footsteps of the cell leader into the long corridor. There were only a few lampstands lighting up all around, and the dark corridor was filled with the smell of blood and dust, which was overwhelming and suffocating.
Sometimes they would hear the strange sound of chains rattling, and sometimes they would hear the low sound of iron railings being knocked. In addition, their own ethereal footsteps not only did not bring relief to this depressing space, but instead extended the nameless terror layer by layer. Drive away.
Wei Chong woke up from his sleep. He was sweating, his pupils gradually dilated, his eyes wandered, and he looked around.
Directly in front of him, the light on the wall turned on, and the fire burned in his eyes.
"Secretary Wei, we just met yesterday, right?" Suddenly a dark figure came from a distance, he took off his robe, and the light hit his face.
"Lu... Mr. Lu, I've been waiting for you." Wei Chong usually has two kinds of tone when treating others, one is flattering, the other is arrogant, but now he has a cold attitude - he can feel it very well. atmosphere.
Lu Fangxuan couldn't help but say "Oh", he was also surprised by Wei Chong like this.
"Have you seen all the evidence?" Lu Fangxuan sat on the chair and asked, crossing his legs.
"Look, look..." The prison head's hand holding the document trembled, "It is consistent with what he said, Wei Chong is indeed guilty."
After Wei Chong heard this, his heart became cold. He shouted and shook the railing: "Lu Fangxuan! Old thief! I have done so many things for you with kindness. If I hadn't reminded you, you would have died at the hands of thousands of gangsters." That’s right! It’s really unconscionable to cheat now!”
Lu Fangxuan sneered: "You know what you did. I don't want to settle the score for you. But Wang Xiancheng was also ordered by me. He is just a tool like you. How can he have a conscience?"
"Where's Prince Wanjun! You want to kill me, and Prince Wanjun will definitely not agree!" His voice was almost broken.
"Haha," Lu Fangxuan rolled up his sleeves easily, "He doesn't have time, he can't make it."
"This is your one-sided statement!" Wei Chong pulled his hair frantically, "King Wanjun is right next to him, just across the street, how could he not react?"
Lu Fangxuan pulled out the dagger from his waist and showed a vicious smile, "If you don't believe it, I can spend some time here to prove that what I said...is true."
Wei Chong's face turned pale. Before he could recover, he was carried out of the prisoner's room and tied to a large wooden pillar next to him with a tight knot.
"Mr. Lu, this matter is urgent, don't treat it as a trivial matter. If the Wan Dang finds out and the guards stop him, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave Nanjing." Several confidants hurriedly knelt down to admonish.
Lu Fangxuan stood up unhurriedly and flicked the tip of the knife towards the light: "Wan Heshun has always considered himself the winner and underestimated me. Now I will make him sincerely convinced and know that I am better than him."
With a flick of his footsteps, the blade moved forward, slowly walking towards Wei Chong.
"You...you..." Wei Chong couldn't get away, his breathing became rapid, his throat seemed to be constricted, and he couldn't breathe.
"This is probably the fate of people like you." After saying that, Lu Fangxuan opened his mouth and cut out his tongue first. There was only one scream, and blood splashed all over his face.
Lu Fangxuan was finally able to release the cruel pleasure in his heart, and he had to satisfy his animal nature. He wiped the knife again and cut off the thigh again.
An hour later.
Wan Heshun's eyes and ears obviously noticed the clues. These people discovered that there were several people in military uniforms on the street who sometimes squeezed into the patrol team, sometimes left the team and scattered in all directions; this feature was found in more than one place, and their footprints even covered the entire city of Nanjing.
The informants hurriedly went back to report. Some sharp-eyed people in the Yue army discovered this and were about to return to Yue Mansion to tell the news. Suddenly they saw Lu Fangxuan wearing a robe with a bloody clothes underneath and riding out.
The soldier hurriedly stepped forward, pulled the reins, and listened to Lu Fangxuan's instructions: "You quickly go and light a fire as a signal, and order the people and horses from all streets to gather at the south gate according to the original plan!"
When the soldiers heard the order, they went to various places to light cigarettes to signal the troops.
When Wan Heshunfang got the news, he knew that it would be difficult to recover if he took advantage of the opportunity. He hurriedly notified all the military camps, including the inspection department under the prefecture, to kill the thieves together.
He and Hu Qi put on armor and mounted their horses, commanded thousands of troops, and galloped toward the south gate with military flags waving, swords and spears raised.
Ye Yongjia learned at home that although he did not dare to neglect the military order, he still deliberately ordered Jiang Tian not to encourage Wan Dang's arrogance, so he made a slight gesture and did not use any force to intercept, and actually missed a large number of Lu Fangxuan's troops.
When Lu Fangxuan arrived at the South Gate, he first burned the Zhenhuai Bridge to deter the pursuing troops. Then, taking advantage of the lack of understanding of the situation, Lu Fangxuan said to the defenders at the South Gate, "Gong Lu is moving to Zhenjiang today. Please clear the way quickly." down.
When Lu Fangxuan saw that everyone was gathered, he rode out and swarmed away.
Knowing that it was a fraud, the defenders led dozens of people on horseback to pursue him, and the general touched Fangxuan's rear army.
At this moment, Wan Heshun had just arrived at the river, built a temporary pontoon bridge, and led his troops to fight straight out. Because of the elite troops he led and the fast horses, they soon joined the front army and pushed the Vietnamese army to a dead end.
Lu Fangxuan saw that the Ten Thousand Party members were numerous and powerful, and there was a big river behind them, so he had to prepare carefully.
Wan Heshun also formed a formation, and was the first to shout: "Lu Fangxuan! I have brotherhood in my heart, and I hope you can achieve great things together, but why do you betray me!"
Lu Fangxuan pulled out the approval document from his arms: "Master Wan, why do you say this! Lu just went to Zhenjiang to be granted a title to cater to the government's wishes, and he is not an enemy of you."
"Bah!" Wan Heshun spat violently, "Don't make excuses, let's fight to the death today, and never ignore our past feelings again!"
When the Lu Party was in distress, suddenly a group of soldiers and horses came from the other side of the river. It was Zheng Shiyan who led about two thousand people and ran around, trying to attract people's attention.
"Zheng Shiyan was ordered by the Zhenjiang Prefecture to come to greet the Duke of Yue!" Zheng Shiyan ran across the bridge alone and dismounted.
