At this time, Gongsun Liuxiu no longer hesitated. He looked around and said in a deep voice: "Brothers of Ju Armor Cavalry, please listen carefully to me. The lime packets over there in the east city were not fired by the Jin army, but by Gongsun. All our fellow guards can testify that we were ordered to launch from the fifth floor. Do you think this is the case?"
These escorts who had been surrounded by Gongsun Wulou and sent to each team to serve as captains had no courage to refute at this moment. Except for a dozen of them who could not bear to bite back their old masters, they bowed their heads and remained silent. Everyone else nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, Brother Sixth Cultivator is right at all. That's it."
Murong Lin gritted his teeth and said, "So, not only General Helan Harimu, but also my eldest brother and the brothers from the Qiansu Guards died at the hands of this thief?"
Gongsun Liuxiu nodded: "Yes, it was part of the plan for your brother to bring the guards there, because Helan Harimu once framed Gongsun Wulou and was imprisoned. When he saw Gongsun Wulou, he wanted to kill him. , at least they would not listen to his orders. In order to win the trust of Helan Harry, Hei Pao asked the Su Wei army, led by your brother, to follow Gongsun Wulou to the East City. This was equivalent to having the emperor's orders, Helan Harry I am a loyal person. Although I hate Gongsun Wulou very much, I will not resist the order because of this."
"But General Helan Harimu still did not allow Gongsun Wulou to go to the city to command. This is different from you, General Xiaolin. Gongsun Wulou could only stay in Wengcheng, so he held a grudge and attacked the city before the Jin army. At that time, they fired lime packets at the top of the city without distinguishing between friend and foe, and then launched water bags. When the lime meets water, it can dissolve iron and carrion. The defenders at the top of the city are all done..."
Before he finished speaking, he only heard a "Woo" sound, and suddenly there was a crossbow bolt halfway pierced into his neck. Gongsun Liuxiu had an unwilling look on his face, and took one last look at the crossbow bolt. In the direction, Gongsun Wulou raised his hand, and a pocket crossbow was placed in his hand, pointing at himself. Gongsun Wulou had a murderous look on his face: "Traitor, I have treated you like this in vain for so many years, go to hell." Bar!"
Gongsun Liuxiu moved his mouth, grabbed it with his empty hand, and a spurt of blood spurted out from where the arrow hit his throat. His men also fell off their horses, their eyes blackened, and they died.
Several guards quickly stood in front of Murong Lin and He Lanmin, raised their shields to protect them, and shouted: "Protect the young master, protect the madam!"
And more soldiers, including the guards of Gongsun Fifth Floor, all raised their long bows, mounted their bows and arrows, and pointed at Gongsun Fifth Floor. Thousands of arrows flashed with murderous intent and cold light. As long as Murong Lin gave an order, If you hit it, you can make Gongsun Fifth Floor's heart pierced by thousands of arrows!
Gongsun Wulou smiled miserably, threw down the crossbow in his hand, and sighed: "That's all, I, Gongsun Wulou, have been running my business all my life. I want to be rich and prosperous, but I didn't expect that even my own brothers would betray me in the end. I really reap what I sow. You reap what you sow, so far as it goes, I have nothing to say. Yes, Murong Lin, your eldest brother and Helan Harimu and the others were ordered by me to throw lime bags and water bags, but I did not mean to kill them. But act on orders!”
Murong Lin gritted his teeth, slowly pulled out the knife, and said word by word: "Now, you still want to spit on others, who gave you this order, who gave you the power to kill others Zhongliang, the soldier who killed Dayan?!"
Gongsun Wulou sneered: "Because your eldest brother and Helan Harimu were unable to defend the city, the Jin army came to the city in large numbers, and the wooden compartments were destroyed by their warriors who dared to die. The city is bound to be lost. We If they didn't throw the lime bags, they would definitely die. But when I brought the lime bags, I was following the order of the imperial master. Once the top of the city could no longer hold up, everything would be destroyed. Even if the city was barren of grass, the Jin army would never be allowed to step over the city wall. , captured Dongcheng. Murong Lin, you are also a soldier, have you never been forced to sacrifice your men?"
At this point, he paused: "Mu Yugang took your place to fight as a vanguard and died in the battle. What's the difference between Mu Yugang and me burning the city with lime? Murong Lin, each of us has to go to the battlefield. If you are aware that you must die, if you fail to complete your mission, you will be beheaded as a defeated general when you return!"
"The order I received is to guard Dongcheng. Just like the order I receive now, it is to open up contact with Hou Qin and welcome reinforcements. You can kill me to avenge your elder brother, but you are in the nature of rebellion. At this time, everyone in your Beihai Palace will lose their heads, so you have to think clearly!"
He turned around and looked at all the sergeants who were pointing arrows at him. He gritted his teeth and said: "I carried out the military order and killed and wounded the soldiers and horses on the city wall regardless of the enemy or ourselves. I was following the order. If you want to question this order, you can go to The Imperial Preceptor has gone, but if you dare to mutiny and kill me here now, you are committing the following crime, which is tantamount to treason. Your whole family and children are in the city, in the inner city of the Imperial Preceptor, think about the consequences!"
As soon as he said this, although all the armor and cavalry were still pointing arrows at him, they were not as determined as before, and their murderous intent was much weaker. After all, the fanaticism for revenge was still unbearable compared with the rationality of the whole family who had been punished. Less impactful. Although it was a pleasure to shoot this arrow, the consequences were unbearable for them.
When Gongsun Wulou saw that his threat was initially successful, he became more confident. He looked at his servants and guards with a sneer, and said bitterly: "As for those of you who have betrayed your master and betrayed your kindness, you should know the national laws of our country, Dayan." , Kill your master with your servant, no matter how good your reasons are, even if I am a heinous person, you will still be killed, not only you, but also your whole family! Humph, I, Gongsun Wulou, have never treated you badly. , I usually give you a lot of benefits, but in exchange for you bunch of white-eyed wolves, if I hadn’t ordered the launch of lime packets, you guys would have died at the hands of the Jin army in Dongcheng, how could you have survived until now?!"
At this point, even the guards of the Gongsun family turned pale and put down their bows and arrows. This action triggered a chain effect, and half of them also put down their bows and arrows.
Kadero gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice: "Gongsun Wulou, don't try to confuse the public with your evil words here. If only one person does something, one person is responsible. Brother Murong has saved me several times. He is my sworn brother. You killed him." , I am here to avenge you. It is my business to pursue the case after the incident. Brothers here, please help me to be a witness. Today, I will kill this thief and eliminate evil for the country!"
