Zhu Chaoshi gritted his teeth: "I have no grudges against him, and I can even help him. Why would he harm me like this?"
Lu Lanxiang smiled slightly: "Because your military talent poses a threat to him. Your Zhu family has been a general for generations and has great influence in Jingzhou. After we defeated the Beifu Army, your identity as an old Beifu general can also attract people. Shaobeifu soldiers join. Even though you have no soldiers and generals now, you are just a bare-bones soldier. But if you get to the back, you will slowly be able to compete with him. Just like our brothers and sisters will not allow him, a general, to suppress our leader. He will not let you, an outsider, surpass him. Especially, we are supporting you from behind to share power with him."
Zhu Chaoshi sighed: "It is true that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are interests, there will always be fights. It seems that this is inevitable whether in the Jin Army or here."
Lu Lanxiang sneered: "Aren't you a person who strives for fame and wealth? You Zhu family brothers have repeatedly jumped back and forth between Huanchu and the Beifu Army. Don't you just want to find the most beneficial backer for you to prosper your family? Do you get titles based on fame and merit? The Huan family only trusts its own people. Even if you are ranked based on seniority, it will not be your brothers' turn to take the lead. In that fight on the horse stage, five Jingzhou warriors came out and it was not your turn. This is your status. , Otherwise, how could you have switched to Liu Yu so happily?"
Zhu Chaoshi remained silent. The shouts of death and the sound of war drums on the river in the distance were getting closer and closer. Even the sound of stones and arrows hitting the water was already twenty or thirty steps away. He gritted his teeth and said, "No." Yes, we brothers just want to get ahead, but to be honest, before this battle, I never dreamed that I would actually enter the Celestial Master's Way, don't you think about how this will harm my brother?"
Lu Lanxiang said calmly: "We are here to help you, Chao Shi. Now that things have happened, I don't have to say those useless nice things to you. Once the news of you joining the cult reaches Nanyan and Liu in Guanggu, If Yu is there, then your eldest brother will undoubtedly die, but this is the only outcome that is best for you!"
Zhu Chaoshi yelled: "If you dare to harm my eldest brother, I will kill you!"
In anger, he drew out the sword from his waist and pointed it at Lu Lanxiang.
Lu Lanxiang did not dodge, and said calmly: "Kill, if you kill me, you will die, and you will not be able to save your brother. He left you here to follow He Wuji, but he followed Liu Yu went to make great achievements, can’t you guess the reason?”
Zhu Chaoshi sneered and said: "This is our brother's family matter, what does it have to do with you? We want both sides to make contributions, and we can separate and establish our own families in the future. My eldest brother and I have had a life-or-death friendship since we were young, how can we allow you to instigate it here?"
Lu Lanxiang said calmly: "No matter how we live and die together, there is only one direct descendant position for the big leader of the Zhu family. Either you separate and establish a new family, or you can only leave one person to inherit. There is no room for two tigers in this mountain." As your status rises and your merits increase, it becomes clearer and clearer.”
Zhu Chaoshi felt sad for a while. In fact, this was something he had been worried about for many years. The reason why he separated from his eldest brother this time and took the initiative to work under He Wuji was to prevent the two brothers from constraining each other and being unable to monopolize the great achievements. However, he still said bitterly: "No matter what, the eldest brother is the eldest brother, I can't harm him because of myself!"
Lu Lanxiang smiled and said: "You had no choice that day. Even if you committed suicide on the spot, the news of your rebellion and surrender to the enemy would spread. Since you are unwilling to be used by the divine religion, it is not good for us to keep the Zhu family of Jingzhou as a general. We will also not give your eldest brother the opportunity to lead troops to avenge us in the future. We will use Liu Yu's hand to destroy him first. In this way, the Zhu family, which has been a general for generations, will end in your hands. Isn't it even more pity?! "
Zhu Chaoshi said bitterly: "You have done this kind of thing too many times, and you are not afraid of retribution?!"
Lu Lanxiang sneered and said: "Retribution? The great power in this world is obtained by the power of soldiers and horses. Which emperor in the end did not win with one general and withered away thousands of bones? You, the Zhu family, have been generals for generations and killed countless people. Aren't you afraid of retribution? Do you want me? He said that if you really cut off your descendants and there will be no more Zhu family in the world, this is the best retribution for those who have died in your hands for hundreds of years! As for our retribution, you don’t need to worry about it."
Zhu Chaoshi looked up to the sky and sighed, murmuring: "Brother, it was me who hurt you, it's my fault!"
Lu Lanxiang curled up her lips: "Chaoshi, don't worry, you will be the only one in the Zhu family from now on. You will carry forward the Zhu family in the Shen Cult. As long as we can succeed and enter Jiankang, you will be the first to contribute. When the time comes, Not only will you get Jingzhou, but you will also get me. I said that as long as you don’t dislike me, I will be your wife well and bear children for you in the future, so that the incense of your Zhu family will last forever."
Zhu Chaoshi felt sad and shook his head: "I have no face to see the ancestors of my Zhu family again. Besides, I already have a family, a wife and children, so I don't need..."
At this point, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at the smiling Lu Lanxiang in front of him, stepped forward and grabbed her by the skirt, and said sternly: "You still want to harm my wife and children?!"
Lu Lanxiang smiled and said: "He is really a good man who respects brotherhood and family ties. He didn't think about his wife and children, but first thought about the safety of his eldest brother. Yes, your wife and children are in Jiankang. The Shouzai of the Jin Kingdom who stayed in Jiankang will definitely If you kill your whole family before Liu Yu, if you join this cult, you will have to abandon your family, career, wife and children, this is no joke."
Zhu Chaoshi was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood, which hit Lu Lanxiang directly. He knelt down weakly on the ground, with tears in his eyes: "Wenjun, Guo'er, it was I who hurt you, it was I who hurt you. !”
Lu Lanxiang's eyes flashed coldly: "If you really want to save your wife and children, then you have to cooperate with me. Now in the world, the only one who can save them is me!"
Zhu Chaoshi suddenly seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, he jumped up, grabbed Lu Lanxiang's arms tightly, and said: "I promise you, I promise you everything, tell me, how You can save them!"
Lu Lanxiang said coldly: "First of all, you must swear that after you rescue your wife and children, you will divorce your wife and abandon your children. I can keep them alive, but I can't stay with you anymore, because your future women can only It’s me, no one else is allowed.”
Zhu Chaoshi cursed in his heart: Bitch, go to hell. When I get my wife and children back, I will kill you first.
But he still said: "I promise you, I will definitely promise you."
Lu Lanxiang's eyes flashed coldly: "I want you to swear that if you violate this, I will teach you to fall into the enemy's hands with your brother and die with thousands of arrows piercing your heart!"
