Chapter 31 False Surrender
"You, what you said is true?" Lang Zhengxuan's face became excited.
"If there are even half-truths, it means that the Tang Dynasty will not die well, not to mention this!" He said and took out the blood-stained book from his jacket.
Lang Zhengxuan took it in his hand, looked at the handwriting, and immediately knew that the matter was absolutely true. After reading the content in the book, he had no doubts anymore, and immediately said: "Without further delay, the Dharma King's martial arts is unrivaled in the world, so I invite you to be the pioneer. Immediately
Rush to the Yi village, I will summon the imperial doctors to prepare the antidote immediately, mobilize the army, and we will arrive shortly. We must wipe out the Yi tribe!"
When Dharma King Xinyue heard him say that his martial arts skills were invincible, he wanted to say a few words of humility, but thinking of the urgency of the situation, he immediately said: "I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse!"
After saying that, he was about to go out. Tang Chao was so anxious that he couldn't help but said: "Master, I want to go with you!" He thought to himself, grandma, I'm afraid that I won't be evaporated in this Langkun Mountain home.
Come and eat.
Xinyue suddenly realized that the naughty disciples of Langkun Mountain were afraid of harming the Tang Dynasty because of their previous quarrels. He was about to ask Lang Zhengxuan to take him away, but unexpectedly Lang Zhengxuan waved his sleeves: "His Holiness, I am
You have already seen that this kid doesn't know any martial arts, and following you will only drag you down. Just go and save His Majesty, leave him to me, and I promise not to hurt him at all!"
As soon as he said these few words, Dharma King Xinyue was speechless. He nodded and said, "Okay!" and walked away.
As soon as Dharma King Xinyue left, the door of the secret room opened and a person's face appeared. Tang Chao was surprised, but it was Lang Chun who had gone to Yi Village with him. He didn't know why he appeared here.
I just heard him say: "Master, are you going to kill this kid?" Before he finished speaking, he made a beheading gesture with his hand.
Lang Zhengxuan laughed: "No need, this kid has no martial arts skills, there is still use in keeping him."
Lang Chun frowned and said, "Master, please don't underestimate this kid. He knows how to administer anesthesia, and many people have fallen into his trap?"
Lang Zhengxuan had a look of hesitation on his face: "It doesn't matter, I will use him wherever he says he will be useful. You don't have to say anything. Mr. Rong, please take him down, search all his belongings, and take him into custody."
In the dungeon."
"Yes!" A head popped up from the corner behind the secret room. It was an old man with gray hair. He was not ninety but seventy years old. He coughed and agreed.
When the Tang Dynasty saw Lang Zhengxuan's actions, he immediately thought: Oops, I wanted to come back to report the news, but I didn't expect that Lieutenant Lang was actually with Nalong. Didn't this harm His Majesty? Thinking of Li Bai's safety, he became even more anxious.
Rufen shouted: "Lang Zhengxuan, I didn't expect you to collude with the rebels?"
Lieutenant Wolf laughed twice: "Wait a minute, Mr. Rong, I have a few more questions to ask him." Mr. Rong was about to take Tang Chao away, but he didn't move after hearing the words. He turned around like a tiger.
He glanced at Tang Chao several times: "Yes, I'm not stupid, but you are still wrong. I am not colluding with Nalong, but I am supposed to be the emperor of Nanzhao. I am setting up a new dynasty.
The rebel thief Li Gesang subdues the law."
Tang Chao's eyes widened. He didn't expect that the lieutenant could say such treacherous words: "You, how could you do this?"
Lang Zhengxuan said: "I and Li Gesang were sworn brothers back then. When we became sworn brothers, we agreed that we would share hardships and share blessings. In the future, we will unify Nanzhao and divide the country equally. But when we really conquer the
With such great power, Li Gesang actually got greedy and pretended to give me the throne of Nanzhao. Think about how powerful he was at that time. Several of his confidants, such as Fang Qing and Tian Li, were all highly skilled in martial arts.
How dare I fight with him? I only said that I was willing to support him as king and help him with all my heart. For the past twenty years, I have been waiting for the opportunity. I didn't expect that he was so shrewd that he didn't make any mistakes. I thought to myself, I am a wolf in this position.
Zhengxuan is probably hopeless in this life. I never thought that God would give me this good opportunity. Do you understand?"
Tang Chao shook his head: "This is your fault. When Li Gesang gave up the throne to you, you didn't sit on it yourself, but who can you blame?"
Lang Zhengxuan looked at the Tang Dynasty with resentment: "Boy, didn't you hear clearly what I just said? Li Gesang and I agreed that after conquering Nanzhao, we would divide the world equally, but he did not do this.
Pretending to let me sit on the throne, isn't this just greed, what is self-destruction? Besides, if it weren't for my pair of iron hands, he would have died in the battle of Luzhen in Kuocang Mountain. How could he have twenty people like him?
Many years of glory?”
Tang Chao fell silent for a moment, thinking that maybe Lang Zhengxuan was telling the truth. If that was the case, there was something wrong with Li Gesang.
Seeing his move, Lang Zhengxuan hurriedly said: "Mr. Tang, you and I have never met each other. You will definitely feel strange if I tell you these intimate words. However, I see that you are smart and smart, and you are willing to die to repay your kindness. This is considered a good idea."
I am a real man and want to make a real friend with you. If you don’t mind, I will give you a big official position after I establish the dynasty. Tell me, how big of an official do you want?"
This sentence made Tang Chao's heart flutter: "You, are you going to give me as much official position as I want?"
Lang Zhengxuan pondered for a moment: "Well, I can't say death, but except for the prime minister and the three princes, you can choose the rest of the officials as you like, do you think it's okay?"
Tang Chao asked: "If I want to be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, would you agree?"
Lang Zhengxuan nodded immediately: "Of course, my words are absolutely not false!"
But Tang Chao suddenly felt something was wrong: "You, didn't you just say that I have no power to tie a chicken, what use am I to you, why are you treating me so favorably?"
Lang Zhengxuan pondered for a moment, then looked at the confused Lang Chun and Rong Gong in front of him and said, "I think you two must be wondering why I am so nice to Mr. Tang, right?"
They both nodded together.
Lang Zhengxuan said: "Mr. Tang, I regard you as a close friend, so I will tell you the truth. I want Mr. Tang to come to my side and go and do something for me now."
Tang Chao immediately felt a heavy responsibility and said solemnly: "What is it?"
Lang Zhengxuan said: "This matter is very secretive, but for Mr. Tang, it is very easy. I ask you now if you are willing to be loyal to me. If you agree, I will tell the matter immediately, otherwise
If you know the consequences, since I have told you such an important secret, I will not let you go out and talk nonsense."
From what follows, the threat is already obvious.
Tang Chao thought for a few times in confusion, knowing that what Lang Zhengxuan said was right. If he insisted on disagreeing, he would definitely kill him. Suddenly an idea came to him, why don't I pretend to agree and see what he said?
What was it, so he pretended to be very difficult and said: "I, I betrayed Prince Li Gesang by doing this, he, will he let me go in the future?"
Lang Zhengxuan laughed loudly: "Don't worry, Mr. Tang. Li Gesang has been captured and is being escorted by Nalong on his way to Dali. The Shunxing dynasty he established has come to an end since then."
, you don’t have to worry about him dealing with you in the future.”
What? Tang Chao was shocked. Could it be that Lang Zhengxuan would kill Li Gesang first? He asked eagerly: "Then, you can't spare Li Gesang's life, but, what about my elder brother Li Bai?"
"Li Bai, oh, I remembered, he was the Tang Dynasty literati who was famous for his poetry?"
"Yes, yes, please don't hurt his life. Do you agree?"
"Mr. Tang, please rest assured. I heard that Li Bai was a very famous person in the Tang Dynasty and had a wide network of friends. I don't need to make enemies with him. Besides, he insists on not joining Li Gesang, and he is not one of his. What I want is Nan."
Zhao's throne, why hurt him?"
Tang Chao was a little relieved: "In this case, you are only going to kill Li Gesang, and will you also let his daughter go?"
Lang Zhengxuan's face turned green. Seeing that Tang Chao couldn't stop asking questions, he was already upset: "Let's talk about these things after you agree to be loyal to me. Let me ask you, do you agree or not?"
Tang Chao didn't speak, thought for about ten seconds, nodded and said: "I promise you, please tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?"
"I want you to take off Li Gesang's imperial seal with your own hands on the Zen platform, and then give it to me. I heard that Li Gesang intends to betroth his newly found daughter Princess Qinglian to you. If you go and get it,
This jade seal is what others have said. Before receiving Zen, I will personally hold a glorious wedding for you, Princess Qinglian." Lang Zhengxuan said this slowly.
The Tang Dynasty was overjoyed, but at the same time he knew about Lang Zhengxuan's ambitions. Lang Zhengxuan was so powerful that he even knew about Li Bai's proposal to Li Gesang on his behalf. Now he was even more powerful. He wanted Li Gesang to marry him willingly.
He passed the throne to him and used me to realize his dream of being an emperor. He couldn't help but said: "Mr. Wolf, aren't you delusional? How could Prince Li Gesang keep silent and let you go when he saw you committing rebellion and treason?"
Manipulating?"
Lang Zhengxuan sneered: "Mr. Tang, I fulfilled your wish. You should be grateful to me. For the rest, I have my own way. You don't have to worry about me. Mr. Rong, take him down!"
Tang Chao was furious: "Mr. Wolf, I have surrendered to you. Are you still going to lock me in prison like a prisoner? Then I would rather die than obey!"
Lang Zhengxuan hesitated for a moment: "Forget it, Mr. Rong, arrange Mr. Tang to live in the Juying Building and open a private room for him. Don't neglect the supply!"
"Yes!" Rong Gong nodded lazily.
