Chapter 2087: Concealing evil intentions
Lu Qingbang said firmly: "Yaguo's 200,000 troops will not be sent to Bailie, otherwise they would have done so long ago; Bega's offensive will definitely slow down. As long as we hold on until then, Mouguo will be able to spare some time to repel Yaguo."
"Don't you understand?" Lu Zhensheng laughed instead of getting angry. "Now the Mou Kingdom doesn't want to fight anymore! General Lu has issued an ultimatum, asking us to move closer to the conditions proposed by the Ya Kingdom, otherwise the Mou army will withdraw half of its troops within three days; after three days, if we still refuse to agree..."
He looked at Lu Qingbang, sighed, and walked away.
"What do you mean?" His eyes made Lu Zhenxian feel uneasy, and he quickly stopped him, "Brother, tell me clearly, what will happen if we don't agree in three days?"
Lu Zhensheng just said: "You'd better agree."
After saying that, he pushed Lao Liu away with force and left the house.
Lu Zhenxian's forehead was covered with cold sweat and his legs went weak.
Lu Qingbang hurried to help him: "Father..."
"Bailie is weak, there is not much point for you and your sister to stay here." Even though he was extremely unwilling, Lu Zhenxian still prioritized his son's life, "I will arrange some help, you leave tonight!"
Lu Qingbang shook his head: "I won't leave!"
"Don't you understand? Now it's the Mou Kingdom that doesn't want to fight anymore. I guess it regrets sending troops this time, so it wants to cut the Gordian knot. The Ya Kingdom is advancing step by step, and the clan leader dare not disobey the Mou Kingdom." Lu Zhen first pointed out the seriousness of the situation, "Bang'er, you will be in danger if you don't leave now!"
Since all the troubles in the negotiations are concentrated on Lu Qingbang, then...
"My own people want to take my life, so why do I try to please the enemy? This is ridiculous!" Lu Qingbang laughed three times towards the sky, "I won't leave! I want to see who will take my head!"
When his stubborn temper comes up, he is much more powerful than Lu Feiyan.
Lu Zhenxian's legs went weak and he collapsed in the chair.
Three days later, Mou State indeed withdrew half of its troops, and Ya State quickly advanced to fill the gap left by them.
When Lu Qingbang wanted to lead his troops to fight, his entire family tried to stop him, fearing that he would be ambushed on the battlefield.
It is easy to dodge the enemy's open attack, but difficult to guard against the hidden arrows from your own people.
No matter how willful Lu Qingbang was, he had to stay because the old man threatened to die. His grandfather Miao An was also the gatekeeper of Bailie. He wanted to stay to take care of his grandson, but the Ya country was killing, burning and looting along the way, and the people suffered. Miao An weighed the pros and cons several times, and was persuaded by Lu Qingbang's brother and sister, so he had to sigh and go to the front line to lead the army to stop the enemy.
As for Lu Liu, the whole family was in a state of gloom. Lu Zhenxian was unable to sleep or eat, and was sighing all day long. His originally plump figure became much smaller in just a few days, and he also had several large blisters in his mouth, which hurt terribly when touched.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he grabbed the teacup next to him and smashed it.
With a clang, fragments flew everywhere, right at the feet of someone who had just walked in.
This is Lu Zhenxian’s aide, Mo Shubai.
He took leave a month ago to go home to attend a funeral and just came back today.
"Master, please take care of yourself."
Lu Zhenxian hung his head in dejection: "I'm afraid there won't be any masters soon."
He finally realized what it felt like to be at the end of his rope.
Seeing that he was dressed neatly, Mo Shubai couldn't help but ask, "Did the master just come back?"
"No, I'm just going to Lu Zhensheng's place." Lu Zhenxian said casually, "He came to discuss something with me, and he's probably going to threaten me again."
Mo Shubai said, "You'd better not go."
"What do you mean?"
Mo Shubai first walked outside the door, looked around, and then closed the door.
Lu Zhenxian became nervous when he saw his movements.
"The negotiations between Mou and Ya have been stuck here, young master, with no progress. The clan leader must find a way to resolve it." Mo Shubai said, "There is only one way to make the young master nod his head."
After saying that, he stared straight at Lu Zhenxian.
Lu Zhenxian was frightened by his gaze and subconsciously pointed at himself: "Me? Boss Lu dares to deal with me?"
"Think about it carefully, is there such a possibility?" Mo Shubai said softly, "If soft tactics don't work, we'll have to use hard tactics. As long as we can control you, the clan leader will also be able to control the young master."
Lu Zhenxian gritted his teeth: "Boss Lu wants to drive my son away in exchange for the safety of his whole family!"
Yes, if we go now, what can we discuss? It is likely that, as Mo Shubai said, they will use him as Lu Qingbang's weakness to force Ah Bang to leave the country.
“Master, Master, you are…” Mo Shubai shook his head repeatedly, “You think too simply about who the Deer Clan leader is!”
"Ah?" Is this easy?
"Thanks to Master Bang's straightforwardness and refusal to yield, he was able to hold out until I came back." Mo Shubai's voice became even lower. "Look at the method that Chief Lu came up with. He let Master Bang escape secretly, and he found a substitute to chop off his head, and then said that Master Bang voluntarily sacrificed his life in exchange for Bailie's peace, right?"
"Yes." To be honest, Lu Zhenxian was reluctant when he first heard it, but the pressure in the past few days was too great. He thought about it over and over again and felt that it might not be impossible.
At least my son can save his life.
Mo Shubai laughed, "If Master Bang publicly stated that he was willing to sacrifice his life, but quietly left the country, what would Chief Lu have to be afraid of? Why would he offer a fake head when he can offer a real one to Ya Country?"
“You, you mean…” Hearing the words “real head”, Lu Zhenxian’s blood boiled and he stuttered, “You said Boss Lu has evil intentions and wanted to kill Ah Bang all along?!”
"I am 80% sure that once Young Master Bang escapes, Chief Lu will definitely hunt him down! By then, Young Master Bang will have no soldiers or power, how can he escape this catastrophe?" Mo Shubai said in one breath, "Even if Young Master Bang survives by chance, can he still show up in public in Bailie? Can he still accuse Chief Lu of trying to kill him? Don't forget that Young Master Bang has already stated that he is willing to sacrifice himself in exchange for the peace of Bailie!"
Lu Zhenxian was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Fortunately, fortunately Ah Bang has a strong character and escaped!" He gritted his teeth again, "Boss Lu has such a cruel heart. My son fought wholeheartedly for Bailie to resist the enemy, but Boss Lu schemed against my family like this. He wished that I would have no descendants! Good, good!"
At this moment, all the memories of how Lu Zhensheng had suppressed his family came to his mind, and he was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe.
Mo Shubai quickly supported him: "Master, calm down. For Master Bang, you must not get sick now!"
A man has to take responsibility. His family needs his care, so what does it mean if he just throws up his hands and collapses?
Lu Zhenxian quickly took a few heart-protecting pills, and after a long rest, his heartbeat slowly returned to normal.
Mo Shubai suggested: "Why not decline politely and say that you have been anxious and worried for the past few days and have fallen ill and cannot go."
Lu Zhenxian nodded, but there was no trace of worry on his face.
In the end, the current difficulties are still insurmountable. Now the problem has returned to the starting point. Yaguo will not give up. What should his son do? What should Bailie do?
