Rumor Has It That I'm Pregnant with His Highness' Child Chapter 241

  Chapter 241 Heavenly Nets

  Xiao Juan looked at Lu Luiguang not far away again and said solemnly.

   "Let's talk."

  Lu Luiguang was flustered and looked at him vigilantly: "What do you want to talk about? Let me first declare to you that Tang Pei's death has nothing to do with me. I didn't kill people."

   Xiao Juan: "What do you mean, Tang Pei was killed by someone?"

  Lu Luiguang closed his mouth and stopped talking.

   Xiao Juan: "It was Du Tao who killed him, right? What's your relationship with Du Tao? Are you accomplices?"

  Lu Luiguang was silent.

Xiao Lian: "You don't think Du Tao will come back to save you, do you? He doesn't trust you at all, otherwise he wouldn't even tell you where the exit of the secret passage is, and he's been on the lookout for you. "

  Lu Luiguang gritted his teeth: "You don't need to stir up differences, Du Tao and I are not familiar with each other."

  Xiao Juan: "Then why do you still help him keep a secret?"

  Lu Luiguang bites to death and refuses to recognize it: "I have nothing to do with Du Tao! I don't know anything about him!"

  Xiao Juan knew what he was worried about. He was just afraid that after confessing to Du Tao, he would be implicated.

   "Now I'm giving you a chance to confess and be lenient. As long as you can honestly explain everything, I will find a way to help you plead for mercy afterwards."

  Lu Luiguang didn't believe it: "You can't protect yourself now, why should you promise me?"

  Xiao Lian said slowly, "Since I dared to follow you to Xiangtai, I naturally left behind.

  If I don't go back for three days, someone will report the situation here back to Yujing.

   Soon the emperor would send troops to take over Liaodong County.

   You and your family will not be spared by then. "

  Lu Luiguang's expression changed.

   Up to now, he has become Du Tao's abandoned son, and Du Tao can't take the risk to come back to save him. Once what happened in Liaodong County leaked out, the head of the Lu family would be blamed for it.

   After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Yuguang finally made a choice.

   "I can tell you everything I know, but I have a condition."

   Xiao Juan motioned to him.

  Lu Luiguang: "No matter what happens to me in the end, I don't want my family involved."

   Xiao Juan promised: "I will try my best to save your family's life."

   The Prince of Lang has a vicious reputation, but his words always count. Lu Lingguang took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

   "Du Tao joined the Eastern Expedition Army four years ago.

   He is a man with good hands and a very clever mind.

   After joining the Eastern Expedition Army, he became very familiar with the whole army.

   Even Tang Pei had a good impression of him, and he mentioned him to me once.

   said that he is a man that can be made, and he has a bright future in the future.

  Who would have thought that this man was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing!

  Du Tao got to know each general's character and weakness after getting to know each other well.

   Then he designed to lead those generals into the trap, forcing those generals to betray him.

   By the time Tang Pei realized something was wrong, it was too late.

   All the trusted generals around him were controlled by Du Tao.

   This is equivalent to emptying Tang Pei.

  Tang Guixi disappeared suddenly three years ago, and Tang Pei said she was out to play.

   But I knew in my heart that Tang Pei should have asked Tang Guixi to deliver the letter and wanted to ask the court for help.

   However, Tang Guixi is gone forever, I guess she has suffered an accident in all likelihood.

   After that, Du Tao and Tang Pei tore their faces.

   It was at that time that Chen Guo sent troops to harass the people on the border of Liaodong County. Tang Pei led his troops to resist and drove Chen Guo's soldiers and horses out of Liaodong County.

   That is, on that battlefield, Tang Pei was injured, and he couldn't get sick after that.

   You don't have to think about it to know that Tang Pei's injury must have something to do with Du Tao. "

  King Min couldn't help but say, "Tang Peiming knew that Du Tao had a problem, why did he lead his troops on an expedition at that time? Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, wouldn't he be afraid of being stabbed from behind?"

  Lu Yuguang sighed.

   "This is Tang Pei, even if he knew that the Dragon Pool was ahead, he wouldn't take a step back.

   It is precisely because of his principle of not giving an inch that he can guard the border of the Dayan Dynasty and protect the safety of the people of Liaodong County.

   For so many years, Chen Guo was not allowed to take advantage of it. "

   King Min didn't know whether to call Tang Pei stupid or admire Tang Pei's fearless spirit?

  Lu Luiguang continued to speak.

   "Tang Pei was sick in bed and his movements were restricted, so Du Tao took over the Eastern Expedition Army justifiably.

   He took the opportunity to kick out all the generals who were following Tang Pei with all their heart, and then replaced them with his own.

   Soon the entire Eastern Expedition Army fell into Du Tao's hands.

  Du Tao took the initiative to approach me, saying that the military expenses of the Eastern Expedition Army were in short supply, and asked me to find a way to get money.

   If I don't agree, he will expose my collusion with local tyrants and wanton annexation of the people's land.

  I was forced to do nothing but follow his wishes, raise the taxes in Liaodong County, and then send the overcharged tax to Du Tao.

  Du Tao then used the money to sell military generals, and he also created military prostitutes in order to buy people's hearts.

   On the one hand, he seized the handle to threaten, and on the other hand, he satisfied the desires of those generals.

With    grace and power, he firmly controlled those people in the palm of his hand. "

   Having said this, Lu Luiguang sighed deeply.

   "You came too late, now that the Eastern Expedition Army has completely belonged to Du Tao, his status in the army is unparalleled, unless Tang Pei can survive, no one can shake his status."

   King Min was very desperate, which meant that even if they could escape the secret passage, they couldn't escape from Xiangtai.

  Eastern Expedition Army has 100,000 troops, killing them is as easy as the palm of your hand.

   Xiao Juan said, "That's not necessarily true."

   Facing King Min's puzzled gaze, Xiao Juan explained calmly.

"The Eastern Expedition Army has 100,000 soldiers and horses. It is impossible for Du Tao to control everyone firmly in his hands. He can only control the generals at the upper level. If he wants to mobilize his troops and horses, he still needs two things - a handsome seal, Soldiers."

   He looked at Lu Luiguang and asked.

   "If I'm not mistaken, Du Tao probably didn't get these two things."

  Lu Luiguang gave a wry smile, as expected of Prince Lang, he immediately grasped the point of the matter.

   "Yes, Du Tao has been looking for the handsome seal and the soldier talisman, but he couldn't find anything.

  Tang Pei did not have it on him, nor did he have it in the military camp or his home.

   It was precisely because of the absence of these two things that Du Tao did not dare to let Tang Pei die.

   For the past three years, he has been hanging Tang Pei's life with soup and medicine, trying to force him to find out the whereabouts of the handsome seal and the military talisman.

   Tang Pei was bitten to death and refused to speak.

   The two sides were so stalemate.

   Not long ago, Du Tao got the news of your coming.

   He knew that the paper couldn't contain the fire, so he simply killed Tang Pei without doing anything else.

   and set up a net of heaven and earth, intending to kill you all together. "

  King Min was angry and scared: "If Prince Lang and I are here, and the emperor will investigate the matter later, you will not be able to escape!"
