Luo Binwang had inquired about Gu Erha before and knew his temperament. He also knew that Gu Erha doted on Gu Chengye. After all, he only had one son, so he had always doted on him.
Now that his son was captured, he was naturally worried.
Luo Binwang knew how Gu Erha felt, but he didn't give him a chance to react. He said again, "Gu Erha, I'll count to three. If you don't put down your weapon and surrender by the time I count to three, then I'll break one of Gu Chengye's legs. "
"One!"
Luo Binwang started counting.
However, when he counted, he slowed down a little. After all, if he counted too fast, it would be troublesome.
Luo Binwang said again, "Two!"
When he counted to two, Gu Erha tensed up and shouted, "Hold on!"
Luo Binwang said, "Gu Erha, what's your choice?"
Gu Erha shouted, "I …"
At this moment, a general came out from behind Gu Erha and hit Gu Erha's neck with a palm knife. Gu Erha was immediately knocked unconscious.
This person was called Lan Jiuzhen, Gu Erha's brother-in-law and Gu Chengye's uncle.
He was also a general in the army.
He was also Gu Erha's confidant.
Lan Jiuzhen ordered, "Bring the king back to the camp."
"Yes!"
The soldiers immediately took action.
Lan Jiuzhen looked at Luo Binwang, gritted his teeth, and shouted, "Luo Binwang, you want to use Gu Chengye to threaten the king? That's impossible. Release Gu Chengye immediately, and my Ming Kingdom is willing to stop the war. At the same time, we'll compensate you for your losses in this battle. If you don't want to stop the war, my Ming Kingdom will accompany you to the end. Now that you've killed Gu Chengye, I can spread the news and use this to boost the morale of the people, so that all the soldiers and citizens can avenge the dead crown prince. "
Luo Binwang frowned, and his expression was serious. This new person had some courage.
He actually knocked Gu Erha unconscious.
Luo Binwang glanced at Gu Chengye, and Gu Chengye couldn't help but shudder. He hurriedly said, "Uncle, save me. I don't want to die, save me! "
His words exposed his relationship with Lan Jiuzhen.
After Luo Binwang heard this, the corner of his mouth hooked up into a smile and said, "So you are Gu Chengye's uncle. Speaking of which, I don't know if you are his real uncle or a fake uncle. If he was the real uncle, he wouldn't be so indifferent to Gu Chengye's life and death. "
Lan Jiuzhen said, "I'm Gu Chengye's uncle, Luo Binwang. Let him go immediately. If you want to kill Gu Chengye, I can guarantee that your Xia Xia's army won't be able to stop the crazy king. "
Luo Binwang asked, "Are you that confident?"
Lan Jiuzhen said, "This is a matter of strength. Our troops in Zhou Mountain have sufficient combat strength. If you want to fight, everyone will accompany you to the end. Luo Binwang, what we're asking for is a reasonable request. As long as you let him go, my Ming Kingdom will definitely withdraw our troops and even compensate you. "
Luo Binwang shook his head and said, "Looks like we can't come to an agreement."
Lan Jiuzhen's heart skipped a beat.
His heart sank.
Did he really have to break Gu Chengye's legs?
Although Lan Jiuzhen was flustered, he couldn't let himself be flustered at this time. Why did he knock Gu Erha out? This was an offense against his superiors. He was worried that Gu Erha would be coerced and give in.
Once he gave in, everyone would be reduced to fish on the chopping board.
Lan Jiuzhen took a deep breath, suppressed the impetuous emotions in his heart, and said, "Luo Binwang, if you want to make a move, go ahead. I've already expressed my Ming Kingdom's sincerity. If you insist on refusing, then there's nothing I can do. "
Luo Binwang didn't say anything else. He waved his hand, and the soldier directly raised the back of the blade in his hand and slashed down.
Crack!
A crisp sound was heard.
After the dull sound of the collision, Gu Chengye's miserable scream was heard.
Accompanied by the scream, Gu Chengye shouted, "Uncle, save me!"
"Trash!"
After hearing it, Lan Jiuzhen scolded, "Now that you are a captive, you should reflect on yourself. Why did you become a captive? Even now, what you need to do is not to beg for mercy, but to have the strength and pride of our Ming Kingdom. "
Gu Chengye was screaming miserably. He was already lying on the ground, wailing. The bones in one of his legs were broken, and blood flowed out, dying his robe red. His whole person looked very miserable.
Luo Binwang said indifferently, "Are you really going to leave him to die?"
Lan Jiuzhen said, "There's nothing to talk about."
Luo Binwang frowned immediately. He didn't expect the other party to be so disobedient and unwilling to give in. Luo Binwang glanced at the other party's camp and saw that Gu Erha had been taken away.
It was obviously troublesome to attack now.
Luo Binwang frowned, snorted, turned around, and returned to Du Qi's side. With a helpless expression, he said, "Your Majesty, I'm incompetent and couldn't force Gu Erha to surrender."
Although Du Qi was at the rear, there were also soldiers watching the front to send back information. Therefore, Du Qi now knew the general situation at the front line. He shook his head and said, "This matter can't be blamed on you. But now that Gu Erha is unconscious, we're not in a hurry. Let's wait for a while. When Gu Erha wakes up, we'll come again. "
"Yes!"
Luo Binwang nodded.
Gu Chengye was dragged away and handed over to the military doctor for treatment.
Du Qi's army temporarily fell into formation and didn't attack. While Du Qi was resting, on the other side, Gu Erha woke up in the camp not long after.
The moment Gu Erha woke up, Lan Jiuzhen went directly into the camp, and the rest of the generals followed.
Lan Jiuzhen knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness, "Your Majesty, this subject is guilty for knocking you unconscious. Please punish me."
Gu Erha said, "Lan Qing, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lan Jiuzhen immediately stood up.
Gu Erha said, "Tell me, what's the situation now?"
Gu Erha trusted Lan Jiuzhen because Lan Jiuzhen was Gu Chengye's uncle. One must know that the future of the Lan family was entrusted to Gu Chengye.
With Gu Chengye, the Lan family's future was limitless.
Without Gu Chengye, the Lan family had lost their greatest reliance.
Therefore, Gu Erha didn't doubt Lan Jiuzhen's intentions.
Lan Jiuzhen said with a sorrowful expression, "Your Majesty, after you fainted, Luo Binwang continued to threaten me. In the end, I refused him, and Luo Binwang broke the Crown Prince's leg. Luo Binwang continued to threaten me, but I refused. My condition is very simple. Ming is willing to compensate for this battle, but Luo Binwang must release the Crown Prince. Luo Binwang refused. Seeing that he couldn't threaten me, he took his men back. Therefore, the battle has temporarily calmed down. "
"Sigh …"
Gu Erha sighed.
He looked at Lan Jiuzhen and said, "Lan Qing, it's been hard on you."
Lan Jiuzhen shook his head and said, "It's not hard on me, Your Majesty. Not only does Your Majesty have to control the army, but you also have to bear the pain of the Crown Prince being captured. "
Gu Erha said, "Lan Qing, although Luo Binwang has temporarily retreated, he will come again. At that time, Luo Binwang will bring the Crown Prince to threaten us again. How will we deal with it? "
Lan Jiuzhen said, "If Your Majesty can't deal with it, then don't show up. Just leave this matter to me. "
Gu Erha said, "That seems to be the only way."
Lan Jiuzhen said, "This subject will handle the matter well. Although the Crown Prince is in Luo Binwang's hands, they won't dare to kill him for the time being. Once they kill him, they will lose the hostage that holds you back. Moreover, it will arouse the hatred of the soldiers. "
Gu Erha said, "That is indeed the case. Sigh, this matter is very complicated. If we had known this would happen, we wouldn't have done it in the first place. We shouldn't have provoked Du Qi's Xia Xia back then. "
Lan Jiuzhen shook his head helplessly.
It was too late to say these things now. It was impossible to change.
Thump! Thump!
All of a sudden, the sound of war drums rang out again.
The drums rumbled, the momentum vast and mighty.
When Gu Erha heard it, he said, "They're here. Du Qi's men are here again. This time, Luo Binwang must have brought the Crown Prince. This time, they're going to threaten us again. "
Lan Jiuzhen said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Stay in the tent. This subject will deal with them."
Gu Erha said, "Be careful."
"This subject understands!"
Lan Jiuzhen answered and led his men out of the tent. Then, he led the army to the entrance of the camp.
