Chapter 57 Reunion of Brothers

The sunset is like blood, sprinkled in the ancient city, giving people a sense of vicissitudes and simplicity.

Although it was almost evening, few pedestrians were seen on the street, and even if there were, they were in a hurry and looked like a big disaster was coming.

Fusheng Inn, it is said that this is an old shop with a century-old name. It occupies a vast area and a good location. The business has always been very good, but since the defeat of Huan Xuanbing, the business has obviously been much more depressed.

Obviously, the past merchants knew that the war was coming, so they took a detour.

When Lu Qiang's motorcade of more than 50 people came over under the leadership of the brothers who entered the city first, it made the shopkeeper and the clerk very happy. This is a big deal! Immediately vacated a large courtyard for Lu Qiang and the others, and he was busy preparing meals, and the horses were also fed with refined materials.

Seeing that this guy is so busy, Lu Qiang happily ordered the husband to reward him after a simple wash.

These soldiers are usually the ones who can't save money, and they don't know how to show off when they have money in their pockets. After Lu Qiang's order to reward, the doctor immediately took out an ingot and threw it over.

You can't earn so much in a year! After taking the ingot, I almost fainted and waited more attentively, so I almost licked Lu Qiang's toes.

"Little brother, I heard that there is going to be a war. What's going on?"

Lu Qiang asked inexprehensibility. The brothers who came in before were still collecting information and didn't come back. They first inquired about the situation in the city.

With his hand short, of course, the man knew nothing about it, and he didn't feel anything to keep secret.

sighed and said, "The guest officer doesn't know anything, and Lord Huan doesn't know that the line is wrong. A good minister should not be used to usurp the throne as emperor. This is good and arouses public anger. I can't say whether his life can be saved."

A man in an inn in Jiangling City dared to say that about Huan Xuan, which made Lu Qiang very surprised. I can't help asking, "Isn't Huan Xuan afraid that someone will denounce you?"

The man seemed to know that he had spilled the beans, but he still said bluntly, "Now the people in Jiangling City, who doesn't hate Huan Xuan? Seeing that the army of the imperial court is about to come, I don't know how many people will suffer! That's not what I said. That's what all the neighbors say."

Lu Qiang couldn't help nodding. Although he didn't say much, he also expressed a kind of public opinion from the other hand. This will undoubtedly inspire him to govern this place in the future. At the same time, it also added some confidence in this operation.

After asking about some local customs, he sent out the clerk, and it was getting dark.

As the brothers of the advanced city came one after another, Lu Qiang ordered people to strengthen the cross-hospital vigilance, and then listened to the brothers of the advanced city tell him the information of reconnaissance.

The advanced city is also an old scout named He Guangsheng. After arriving at the inn, he first hid back in the room, drew a sketch of the reconnaissance situation, and then took it out to show it to Lu Qiang.

He Guangsheng also came to Jiangling for the first time, and the picture is not very comprehensive. However, as a senior scout, of course he knows what is important, so although he simply marked the target location, it is all accurate.

One is the residence of Huan Xuan, and the other is the place where the deposed emperor is imprisoned.

Looking at this simple sketch, Lu Qiang didn't say anything. After all, he is the leader. He is also responsible for not doing a good job in preparing.

"How about the guards in these two places?"

"General Hui, the current situation in Jiangling is very special, which can also be described as a tight and inner loose. Although the place where Huan Xuan lives is not far from the place where the emperor is imprisoned, the guard on the emperor's side is obviously much weaker, as if he does not attach importance to his majesty at all, which is very suspicious."

Of course, Lu Qiang knows the reason, because the one locked up is not the emperor at all.

According to the water course, Zhou Kui and the others should arrive in Jiangling in two days, but Lu Qiang had already told them not to fight with Huan Xuan's water army and find a hidden place to wait for their orders.

And the news that they passed by Xunyang obviously can't hide Liu Yu for too long. Maybe Liu Yu has now sent a large army to kill Jiangling.

So there is not much time for Lu Qiang.

However, Lu Qiang believes that Huan Xuan must not have thought that someone would follow Jiangling so soon. This is his opportunity.

After meditating for a moment, he said, "Wang Kai and Guangsheng, I will go with you tonight to see your majesty. The Master will take care of the house and tell the brothers not to act rashly and wait for my order at any time."

Although Lu Qiang is very confident in his skills, two old scouts are by his side, which can still solve his inexperience.

The weather is nearly three times, and the weather tonight seems to be very strong. Unexpectedly, it is still a dark and windy night. With the strong wind, it rains again in the sky.

In this way, even the patrolling soldiers can't see the empty streets.

Lu Qiang and the other three changed into black clothes, put weapons on their backs, and turned out of the back wall. Then, under the guidance of He Guangsheng, quickly touched the place where Sima Dewen was imprisoned in the dark.

In fact, from the moment he entered the city, Lu Qiang had a feeling that the city lacked vitality. After listening to the words of the inn, he knew that it was all because of Huan Xuan's unpopularity.

Now looking at the empty streets, Lu Qiang believes more and more that it doesn't need too much. As long as there are 20,000 troops under the city, Huan Xuan's people will definitely collapse without fighting.

The place where Sima Dewen was imprisoned is not far from Huan Xuan's mansion. He is invisible in the dark, but you can see that the security in front of Huan Xuan's mansion is still strict. From time to time, patrol soldiers passed by, but few people looked at this side.

In the house where Sima Dewen was imprisoned, except for four soldiers sheltering from the rain under the eaves, no other soldiers could be seen.

The three people carefully turned in from behind, and then Wang Kai guarded the wall to be on guard. Lu Qiang and He Guangsheng continued to touch inside.

However, the two soon became worried, because looking around, it was dark and could not tell that Sima Dewen was locked in that room.

What can I do?

Lu Qiang gritted his teeth and prepared to touch a room first, and then grabbed a man to ask.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a light in a room not far ahead, and then I heard someone shouting.

"Come on, everyone has gone there? How can people live in this house if it leaks?

Hearing this sound, Lu Qiang's heart suddenly raised it. Isn't this Sima Dewen's voice? Huan Xuan actually gave him a leaky house, which was really preferential to him.

In fact, Lu Qiang can only vaguely guess the reason why Huan Xuan brought Sima Dewen with him. To say that he is always in danger, this brother seems to be in a much better situation than him. Because Huan Xuan didn't even treat him as a human at all. At best, he was just an unusable amulet.

With Sma Dewen's shouting, the light in the next room quickly lit up. Then I heard an impatient voice shouting, "What's it called? It's good to have a place to live, and then kill you, damn it. I really don't understand why your majesty has to carry such a waste?

Soon the lights dimmed again.

Lu Qiang understood. No wonder there were only a few guards outside. It turned out that there were guards inside, but obviously he was not a master of ability.

After a while, it is estimated that the guard has fallen asleep. Lu Qiang wink at He Guangsheng and asked him to look at the guards in the room next to him, and he quickly came to Sima Dewen's room.

Seeing that he was about to see this cheap brother, Lu Qiang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, which was a kind of excitement and joy to see his relatives.

Take a deep breath, gently push the door in, and then close the door with his backhand.

At this time, Sima Dewen was still standing in the room sulking, but there was nothing he could do. Now there is no family around him. As Lu Qiang thought, Huan Xuan did not treat him as a person at all. Maybe when he is in a bad mood, he will kill him.

When he heard someone open the door and come in, Sima Dewen suddenly turned around and was about to scold angrily. After seeing that it was a man in black, he could no longer scold him anymore. His intuition told him that this person was not malicious to him.

The light is very dark, and Sima Dewen can't see this person's appearance clearly, but anyway, the two of them also crawled out of a mother's belly, which is a kind of natural telepathy.

"You..."

Lu Qiang was also very excited. He took two steps and lowered his voice as much as possible: "German, can't you recognize me?"

"Ah..."

Sima Dewen also took a few steps and came to Lu Qiang. With the dim candlelight, he looked at Lu Qiang carefully for a while. The more he looked at him, the more he looked like his brother.

"Brother... Brother? It's really you..."

He suddenly grabbed Lu Qiang's arm, but tears flowed down uncontrollably. His fingers were so hard that he actually grabbed Lu Qiang with some pain. Although Lu Qiang's appearance has changed a lot, he can't hide it from his brother after all.

Lu Qiang's heart was also sour, pulling Sma Dewen a few steps inside, lest they speak too loudly and wake up the guard.

Within a few steps, Sima Dewen suddenly knelt down, hugged Lu Qiang's leg, and cried in a low voice. He could feel that he was very hard.

"Brother, brother, I want to be my brother..."

Speaking of this, Sima Dewen suddenly raised his tearful face and said in surprise, "Brother, you... Have you recovered from your illness?

Lu Qiang pulled Sima Dewen up and sat down with him side by side, and then briefly told him what he had experienced during this period.

Listening to his brother's repeated adventures, Sima Dewen was excited and incoherent: "The sky has eyes, the ancestors appear, and I have been saved..."

After Sima Dewen's mood stabilized a little, Lu Qiang's expression became solemn and said, "Devin, I'll take you away. There is another thing I want to say to you. I believe that you think the same as me, that is, the country left by our ancestors must be taken back, but we must no longer be other people's puppets, so you must You have to promise me"

Hearing that he could finally escape from the cage, Sima Dewen's happy chest seemed to explode and hurriedly said, "Brother, please tell me that Dewen must obey his brother's order."

"That's for you to be the emperor, and I, in my current capacity, sweep away those traitors who try to subvert our Jin rivers and mountains."

Sima Dewen was shocked. Did the emperor's throne make such a concession? Seeing that my brother is strong and clear-minded, there is no problem in being an emperor for decades, how can I grab my brother's position?

Shake his head quickly and said resolutely, "Brother, if you let your brother die for you, you won't frown, but this must not happen."

Lu Qiang was also a little anxious and said angrily, "Do you want our brothers to die at the hands of others? Only when I lead the army, others dare not touch you. If we all go back to the court, sooner or later we will be treated as puppets, or even be killed by others. Do you still want the country of Dajin to fall into the hands of others?

Sima Dewen also came up stubbornly. No matter what Lu Qiang said, he refused to agree. At this time, He Guangsheng's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"General, the guard seems to be awake"

"Kle them, don't make a sound"

Lu Qiang has decided that Sima Dewen must be taken away, and his brother can't live such a life and death.

Looking at Sima Dewen looking at himself stubbornly, Lu Qiang didn't know whether to be happy or angry. After a while, he said helplessly, "You stare at the court for me for the time being. When the time comes, I will go back to the court. Is that okay?"

"Brother has already said that"

Sima Dewen grabbed his body like a child, took Lu Qiang's arm, and said happily.

Lu Qiang couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly. At this time, two short hums also came from the next door.
