Chapter 203 The Gentleman and the Beast
Lu Jia listened to the struggle between Lu Matong and Xun Jin behind him. His head was dizzy and he ran the wrong way many times. When he arrived at the capital of Jiujiang, it was already dark.
The capital gate opened wide, and the three of them were confused for a moment.
After the three of them entered the city, under the hostile eyes of the Jiujiang soldiers, they carefully dismounted in front of the royal court.
Xun Jin looked around, and unknowingly looked at the gloomy-looking Jiujiang soldier not far behind him. He was suddenly startled and had goosebumps all over his body.
Xun Jin slowly turned his head and came to Lu Jia's side, "Prime Minister Lu...Why do these people all have murderous intent? It's a bit scary..."
"Does Xun Dianke know this?" Lu Jia said displeased.
"It has not been a month since the feudal princes were enfeoffed. Isn't it normal for them to be demoted?" Xun Jin said with a smile.
"I only know that Jiujiang is so scary." Lu Matong nodded seriously.
Lu Jia took a deep breath, holding back his anger and looking directly at the two of them, "What on earth did the king want to send these two geniuses here?"
"Back to the Prime Minister, Miss Mo Fu said that I will make great achievements in the future and become rich and powerful." Lu Matong smiled and turned to look at Xun Jin with disdain, "He did not die early. With the two of us protecting him, the Prime Minister will definitely
No worries."
After Lu Sheng left, Lu Matong returned to Xianyang Palace from Yueyang, and happened to meet Mo Hui who was looking for him.
"Why die early and die later? When entering Jiujiang, isn't it the military men who have the final say?"
"I'll stab you to death with a halberd. I wonder if you can still make achievements?"
Several soldiers behind the guards of the royal court laughed endlessly, looking at them with prey eyes, and playing with the halberds in their hands provocatively from time to time.
"I am Lu Jia, the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty. I have something important to do with the King of Jiujiang. Please tell me, sir." Lu Jia quickly bent down and handed over his hand.
"Hahaha... What else do you need to report?" The guard looked at him like a monster, "If you are not afraid of death, just walk in."
Lu Jia was stunned, "Can you walk directly into the royal court?"
"Prime Minister Lu, don't panic, I will come and clear the way." Lu Matong strode forward.
"Wait a minute!"
Lu Jia quickly tried to dissuade him, but Lu Matong was unconvinced and strode forward with his chest raised, pushing hard with both hands, and the red door suddenly opened.
A thick smell of blood mixed with a disgusting smell of grease entered the nostrils of the three people.
On the ground in the courtyard were seven or eight headless corpses dressed in rich clothes. There were four or five pairs of hands on the two large cauldrons on the left and right. They seemed to have been thrown into it alive and tried their best to escape before they died.
.
The faces of Lu and Jia were pale, and their stomachs were in turmoil. Their faces twitched and they resisted the urge to vomit. For a while, the three horses were kicking their hooves randomly.
"Is this the Jiujiang Royal Court?" Lu Jia was shocked and angry, "It's so cruel, it's like a massacre and execution ground!"
"These are all envoys from various countries who came within five days. They didn't have time to clean up, which made Mr. Lu Jia laugh." The guard said with a smile, "If the three of you are afraid, you don't have to go in, but you will die at the hands of the soldiers behind you.
It’s in.”
"The two armies are fighting without killing the envoys. What's more, Jiujiang has not yet moved to defect, so why is it like this?" Lu Jia said angrily.
"Don't you know it when you go in? Why bother?" the soldier behind him urged.
Xun Jin's expression tightened, he had clasped his hand on his sword, and whispered, "Escape from the six counties to Han is the fastest. I will escort the prime minister out later."
Lu Matong's right hand moved slightly, and the three horses gradually calmed down. They only waited for Lu Jia's order before they could ride out.
"Although this trip is dangerous, it is related to Qin's great plan. There is absolutely no reason to escape!"
Lu Jia's eyes were burning and he stepped into the door. Lu Matong and Xun Jin had no choice but to follow suit.
Squeak——
The moment the three people entered, the guard quickly closed the door.
Lu Jia paused for a moment, then walked quickly across the courtyard with his chest raised and his hands folded. He stopped at the door of the house and looked at the tattooed man who was sitting on the throne and looking through the bamboo slips.
"Mr. Lu Jia?" Yingbu threw down the bamboo slips and said with an evil smile, "Did Lu Pheasant think that killing two envoys was not enough? Even Mr. Lu Jia was dispatched?"
"I am no longer a minister of Pei Gong, but now a minister of Qin." Lu Jia said respectfully.
"Looking at my memory, Mr. Lu Jia voted for Ziying in Chuying." Yingbu patted his forehead grandiosely, and his face suddenly darkened, "Since you are Ziying's man, are you tired of living in Jiujiang?"
"I have something important to discuss with you. I hope the King of Jiujiang..."
"Ben He! Kill them and give them to the Baiyue soldiers to share!" Yingbu shouted with red eyes and covered his wrist.
A big man with a sinister face rushed out of the house with a machete in hand and slashed Lu Jia's shoulder diagonally.
Xun Jin hurriedly drew his sword and swung it against the blade.
With a "clang" sound, Xun Jin's right arm was slightly numb, and he could barely grasp the sword. The machete also deviated from the direction and cut straight down Lu Jia's arm.
Lu Jia stood still, not hiding at all.
The machete blade cut through Lu Jia's sleeve and cut deeply into the stone slab.
Several people looked sideways and saw that Lu Jia's sleeves were cut, revealing his slightly intact arms.
"This Confucian scholar is so courageous..." Yingbu suddenly lost consciousness and murmured in admiration,
"The virtue of Han is more profound than that of an innocent child. Poisonous insects will not sting him, and ferocious beasts will not resist him!" Lu Jia said with cupped hands.
