Chapter 336: The changing situation, Lu Su’s change!
However, just as Lu Gong finished speaking, Lu Su, who had gotten off the carriage, stared at him quietly. Her heart was instantly overwhelmed by complex emotions. For a moment, it was difficult to tell whether she was more angry or regretful. She opened her red lips slightly, and her voice was as soft as the breeze, but her words were full of frightening majesty: "Capture Lu Gong and the rest of the people. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
Although Lu Su's voice was not loud, Lu Gong did not hear what she said clearly because of the distance. However, the soldiers standing beside Lu Su heard it clearly. They only heard a neat and loud response: "Yes!"
Immediately afterwards, these personal soldiers rushed towards where Lu Gong was like a group of tigers descending from the mountains.
Seeing this, Lu Gong and several officials and generals who followed him stood still on the spot, all with terrified expressions on their faces. They really couldn't help but feel fear, because these personal soldiers of Gao Yao were not ordinary people, they were all warriors who had followed Gao Yao through countless bloody battles. Picking one of them at random would definitely be a tough guy who could fight ten people at once. What's more, the identity of Gao Yao's personal soldiers alone was enough to make anyone respect him. To a certain extent, the actions of these personal soldiers represented the will of Gao Yao himself, who would dare to disobey easily?
"Lü Su, what do you want to do? You are so presumptuous! How dare you attack me!" Seeing Gao Yao's soldiers rushing towards him like a tide, Lü Gong was extremely anxious. He shouted to his daughter Lü Su, hoping that she would stop, and at the same time, he angrily rebuked the soldiers who were approaching step by step. However, this time, Lü Gong's shouting was like a stone sinking into the sea, and had no effect.
All of these personal soldiers were ferocious, with their shining long swords flashing a chilling light. If any of the servants brought by Lu Gong showed any sign of resistance, they would be stabbed in the head without hesitation. The sound of "puff, puff..." was heard continuously, and blood splattered everywhere, staining the ground under their feet red. In an instant, the bloody smell spread, making people sick.
In the eyes of these personal soldiers, whether Lu Gong was Gao Yao's father-in-law was irrelevant. They only knew that Gao Yao had given orders and they had to execute them. Even if the person standing here was Emperor Fusu of the Qin Dynasty, they would still kill him without mercy and would not hesitate at all. What's more, some servants only took two steps back and were caught up by the personal soldiers who were chasing them. They were killed instantly with swords.
In just a short while, nearly a hundred servants brought by Lu Gong had suffered heavy casualties, and less than 20 people were left. The servants who were originally responsible for controlling Xue Ye were already frightened out of their wits by the tragic scene before them, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground with a clang, and they no longer dared to resist.
The people who had been following Lu Gong closely were actually carefully selected and brought here by him. Their real purpose was to find a suitable opportunity to stir up trouble, seize control of the city gate, and take the opportunity to place their trusted subordinates there. However, at this moment, the situation of these people has changed drastically. They have already been firmly placed on their fragile necks with extremely sharp steel knives. With their lives seriously threatened, how could they have the courage to resist?
Lu Gong was mercilessly escorted to Lu Su. At this moment, Lu Gong's eyes were as big as copper bells, and his eyeballs were about to pop out of his eye sockets. The whole eyeball was full of bright red bloodshot, which looked very scary. He stared at Lu Su with an unbelievable look mixed with anger and astonishment, as if everything he saw was completely beyond his cognition.
Perhaps until this moment, Lu Gong still couldn't believe that his daughter, Lu Su, who always seemed timid and cowardly when encountering things, would now have such courage and boldness to dare to attack her father who gave birth to her.
"Lu Su, oh Lu Su, you are a disobedient and unfilial daughter. How dare you lay hands on your biological father? You are totally disregarding the principles of heaven and human ethics!" Lu Gong, who was humiliated and angry, could no longer suppress his anger and scolded Lu Su harshly.
Facing her father's scolding, Lu Su just sighed softly and waved her hand. Then, the two maids beside her quickly moved to Lu Gong's side and stood still. At the same time, the group of soldiers who had been responsible for escorting Lu Gong took the initiative to retreat to the side, but did not move away, but kept a certain distance.
"Father, you still don't understand. There's no way you can succeed. Give up. Tell me all the people involved in this matter. Maybe my sister and I can save your life in the future!"
At this moment, Lu Su still didn't want to take action against Lu Gong. After all, he was her father, how could she bear it? Now she wanted Lu Gong to explain everything clearly. After dealing with this hidden danger, maybe Lu Gong could still survive, even if he was imprisoned, he would still be alive.
"Lü Su, let me go! I know that you grew up under the influence of Lü Zhi, and many things were not your original intention. Even the fact that you became a Gaoyao person was probably beyond your control. Now, Lü Zhi has embarked on a path of no return, but you are different, you still have a chance."
At this point, Lu Gong paused and observed Lu Su's reaction. Lu Su's face changed slightly, as if Lu Gong's words touched some emotions deep in his heart.
Seeing this, Lu Gong struck while the iron was hot and continued, "That girl Lu Zhi has always had a strong personality. Even though you were in the same backyard, I'm sure you've suffered a lot from her and been suppressed by her, right? Lu Su, ask yourself, is this the kind of life you really want to live?"
At this time, Lu Su's lips trembled slightly, and her eyes gradually turned red, as if Lu Gong's words reminded her of the past experiences that she could not bear to look back on. Seeing this, Lu Gong was secretly happy, thinking that his persuasion had worked. So, he further increased his strength and said in a low voice: "Lu Su, if your father is not mistaken, all those who came to stop us today should have been sent by Lu Zhi. Have you ever thought about why Gao Yao would rather hand over all these people to Lu Zhi before leaving, rather than entrusting them to you? Are you really willing to live under the halo of Lu Zhi for the rest of your life, and always be an unknown and manipulated little character?"
At this moment, Lu Gong stared at Lu Su's delicate face, and saw that her brows were getting deeper and deeper, and her expression was getting more and more tangled. Seeing this scene, Lu Gong couldn't help but feel an irrepressible excitement in his heart. Because he knew clearly that the words he had just said had begun to take effect.
In fact, Lu Gong was thinking about something else deep in his heart. When he was walking towards the city gate, the other side had already taken action. Suspecting that Lu Zhi might oppose his plan, how could Lu Gong not make a perfect plan and arrange a backup plan in advance?
Time passed by minute by minute, and there was silence all around, with only the occasional sound of the wind and the noisy sounds of the distant streets. Finally, after a long silence, Lu Su slowly raised his head, looked straight at Lu Gong, and asked softly: "Father, are you waiting to go to the mansion to control the people there and succeed?"
As soon as Lu Su finished speaking, Lu Gong's face instantly became extremely ugly, as if he was struck by lightning. He widened his eyes and looked at his daughter in disbelief. He never thought that his carefully planned plan would be discovered so quickly! What surprised him even more was that Lu Su not only noticed this, but even said it to his face without any hesitation.
"Now these people should have all been killed. Father, I have already told you that you still know too little about my husband. My husband does not pay attention to you because he trusts you, not because he has lost control of the southern border. Why do you think you can take over my husband's mansion in this county city?"
"This... is impossible, I clearly..."
"It's clear that no one in the mansion can go out, and there aren't too many people in the city, right? Father, now that things have come to this, I might as well be frank. In this county city, apart from the people you can see, there are at least 5,000 people who are loyal to their husbands. Sigh..."
Listening to Lu Su's words, Lu Gong's expression finally turned gloomy. If it weren't for the two maids beside him, he would have probably collapsed to the ground powerlessly.
"Lü Su, your changes have made it difficult for me to see clearly, but I still want to remind you, don't be soft-hearted, even to me. Now Lü Zhi asked you to deal with me, just to borrow your hand. If you kill me, Lü Zhi will be fine, but how will Gao Yao see you? If you don't kill me, you still did the thing. How will Gao Yao treat you when he comes back? You have been suppressed by Lü Zhi since you were a child. If Gao Yao wins this battle, he will at least be the king in the future. You are sisters, but you may also be enemies in the future!"
"Take Lu Gong away and detain him temporarily!"
"Here"
Hearing what Lu Gong said, Lu Su's expression changed slightly, and then he ordered someone to take Lu Gong away. After Lu Su was silent for a long time, he waved his hand and called Xue Ye to his side.
"Greetings, Madam." After Xue Ye came to Lu Su's side, he immediately bowed.
"General Xue Ye, I hope you can keep today's events a secret and not let anyone else know about it. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Here"
