Not to mention how nervous his tone was, Lian Xiao's expression changed when he heard the word rebellion.
In the past, if he did not return to the army, he could find a reason to reject the order of the general. But now Cui Sheng came to personally remove him with the order of the Lord of Shu. If he did not respond, it would be an open rebellion.
"General!" At this time, the other generals also shouted anxiously, obviously wanting to say something. Of course, these people were not willing to hand over the military talisman to Lian Xiao, and how could they want Cui Sheng, a loser, to take over as the commander-in-chief.
Lian Xiao raised his hand to stop everyone. His thoughts were changing, his face was uncertain, until after a while, he said quietly:
"I definitely don't dare to rebel, and I can't bear the charge. Cui Sheng, you don't have to label me like this."
"You...what do you mean?" Cui Sheng still lacked confidence.
"Our army is still the Shu army and will never betray our master! My officers and men are definitely not greedy for life and afraid of death! However, the situation here is complicated. I, the general, cannot give you the military talisman for the time being." Lian Xiao said seriously.
"You!" Hearing this, Cui Sheng became anxious and couldn't help but raise his voice: "This is the Lord's order! How dare you disobey it! And you said you're not rebelling!?"
He said this just because he wanted to use the word rebellion to suppress Lian Xiao.
But Lian Xiao knew very well that Cui Sheng was a drunkard and wanted to hand over all the Shu troops to him. How could he bear it? It would cost the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers!
Therefore, he said without mercy: "Cui Sheng! In this situation, if I hand over the military talisman to you, my Shu army officers will die in vain!"
"You!" His words were so straightforward that no matter how stupid Cui Sheng was, he couldn't help it: "Lian Xiao! Don't bully others too much!"
"No need to say more! Go back and tell the lord that I, Lian Xiao, have disobeyed orders today. After repelling the Qin army, I will behead myself to apologize!"
His words were categorical, but Cui Sheng couldn't bear it. He couldn't help shouting: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"
Following his words, Huang Songyuan's guards all rushed in, protecting Cui Sheng in the middle, and pressed the handle of the sword with their hands, as if they were drawing out the sword.
Cui Sheng pointed at Lian Xiao and kept shouting: "Lian Xiao is rebelling! Lian Xiao is going to rebel! Take him down quickly! Take him down!"
These guards were originally sent by Huang Songyuan. After receiving the order, without saying a word, they all drew their swords and stepped forward to grab Lian Xiao.
You know, Lian Xiaoyong won the championship among the three armies, let alone them, even if there were a hundred more, they probably wouldn't be able to match him.
However, before Lian Xiao could make a move, the general in the tent couldn't bear it anymore and immediately protected Lian Xiao in front of him. The sound of swords being unsheathed was heard one after another.
"Let me see who dares to move!?"
Some generals would stare and shout angrily.
The two sides faced each other and faced each other with knives.
These were all generals in the army, and they had a murderous spirit. For a while, the guards were frightened and hesitated to move forward.
The scene was tense.
Seeing this situation, Cui Sheng jumped to his feet and said: "Wow Lian Xiao! You, you, you! You are treasonous! You are plotting to rebel! You betray your master and the enemy!"
He was scolding someone something unpleasant. When Lian Xiao heard this, his face became more and more gloomy.
"Shut up!" He yelled angrily, then looked around Konoe with a glare, and directly scolded: "Get out of here!"
The power of the general was unquestionable. The guards swallowed subconsciously, then looked at each other, and began to move back involuntarily.
Seeing this, Cui Sheng was furious. Konwei was afraid. In fact, he was even more afraid. If he stayed any longer, he would only humiliate himself. After holding it in for a long while, he said: "Lian Xiao! Just wait! Just wait for me!"
"Let's go!" As he spoke, he waved his hand and led a group of guards out of the camp.
After he left, the generals in the tent sheathed their swords one after another. Some people snorted coldly, while others looked worried.
"General, this..."
"No need to say more." Lian Xiao raised his hand to stop the general's words and said coldly: "It's still the same sentence. Our goal is to defeat the Qin army and cut off its food routes. As for the rest, you don't need to say more. No matter, after the war, I will apologize to the lord, and I, Lian Xiao, will bear all the consequences!"
His idea was simple, and the result of his second disobedience to the Lord of Shu was predictable.
Cui Sheng came and left even faster. Lian Xiao refused to accept orders. If he really wanted to rebel, he would have no life left. Therefore, he was not willing to stop. He rushed back to Yizhou without stopping and asked Huang Songyuan. Return to life.
When he came back and explained the situation, Huang Songyuan suddenly became angry.
And in the middle, Cui Sheng's added fuel and jealousy was naturally indispensable.
"He refuses to hand over the military talisman, and he wants to kill you!?"
"Yes, my lord, if my nephew hadn't seen the opportunity early, I might not have been able to come back." Cui Sheng cried out sadly, "That Lian Xiao is clearly a self-respecting soldier and plotting to rebel, my lord!"
At this time, Fu De began to say again: "My lord, from what I see, Lian Xiao may have colluded with Lord Qin a long time ago. Otherwise, I would never dare to do this."
oops! What a good thing! At this moment, Huang Songyuan was running around anxiously. In his heart, Lian Xiao had undoubtedly been designated as a rebel.
He paced back and forth above, with a look of anxiety and worry on his face. After a while, he stopped, pointed at Cui Sheng and said:
"Quick! Bring the guards, surround the general's mansion, and arrest Lian Xiao's family!"
"My nephew, I obey!" Cui Sheng responded quickly and insulted him several times. How could he not add insult to injury?
Fu De below heard this and rolled his eyes.
Huang Songyuan was preparing to arrest Lian Xiao's family, but before Cui Sheng could take action, the news had already reached Lin Chu.
With Fu De as an internal response, it can be said that the Qin army will know immediately about any decisions made in Shu.
After learning the news, Lin Chu began to hesitate.
He was hesitating whether to intervene in this matter, and his subordinates from the Snow tribe tentatively said: "Brother Lin, Huang Songyuan wants to arrest Lian Xiao's family. Let's ask the lord about this matter."
"It's too late to send the message now." Lin Chu said, and after thinking for a moment, he added: "You can ignore the other people in Lian Xiao's mansion, but his old mother must be saved!"
"But this..." the subordinate said: "Brother Lin, once we act, it will be exposed. Isn't the price too high to save an old woman?"
"No." Lin Chu said calmly: "Lian Xiao is a very filial person. His mother is more important to him than his own life. As far as this matter is concerned, I believe that the lord will definitely give such an order. , so it’s worth the risk.”
He is very shrewd. As the highest officer in charge of military intelligence, he also knows very well what is important and what is not important.
After making the decision, he immediately ordered: "Hurry and prepare! Time is running out!"
"No!" The men followed the order and left.
