Chapter 2121: Confrontation at the Gate
Even Lu Qingbang's messenger had a string of garlic hung around his neck by someone unknown.
Hundreds of soldiers in the team held their heads high and wiped their eyes secretly.
Is this what it feels like to win a great victory?
It turns out that the people of Bailie can be so enthusiastic towards them?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the army slowly walked to the end of the long street.
Go further and you will reach the Lu Mansion.
Outside the Lu Mansion, there was also heavy siege by the army.
There are actually two teams here. One is the patrol force of Bailie capital. When the leading general saw the lineup of the opposite side, he was also worried.
This team drove away the Ya army, how can I be their opponent?
The other team was the Mou State Guard led by Wu Xingxun and Huang Yang, the chief and deputy chief commanders.
The two armies together had nearly four thousand people, which was a considerable number, but compared with the long winding lines that surrounded them from multiple directions, they were clearly outnumbered.
There were also two armies on the opposite side, the Bailie Army led by Lu Qingbang, and the Dragon God Army that the Bailie people were already familiar with, and on the periphery were countless Bailie people who followed enthusiastically.
It was so crowded that there was no end in sight.
The two armies outside the Lu Mansion felt a little awkward standing here.
Lu Qingbang returned victoriously, and the people of the whole city warmly welcomed him. They also saw that several thousand of their people were blocking the outside of the government office.
What is this going to do?
Seeing the troops and the people getting closer and closer, and the sound of gongs and drums getting louder and louder, General Huang took two steps forward, summoned his true strength and shouted, "Stop!"
Although the other side had more people and more power, General Huang still had confidence in his shout.
So what if he has fewer people on his side? He represents the Mou Kingdom! How long has Cang Yan established his country? Does he dare to challenge the Great Mou Kingdom openly?
The young general walking in front of the hundred-man army was Lu Qingbang.
He smiled and rode forward: "I have returned victoriously from the south. Are you two here to congratulate us? Where is my uncle?"
After saying the last sentence, he looked around, looking for the Lu family.
This performance is exactly like returning victoriously and wanting to share the joy with family.
Logically speaking, the head of the Lu family should have gone outside the city to greet the Bailie army after their victory, as a sign of respect. However, Lu Zhensheng not only did not do so, he did not even leave his own mansion, and the Mou army was still guarding the door.
This scene caused hundreds of people nearby to talk about it and they were very dissatisfied.
Rumor has it that the head of the family doesn't like Lu Liu, nor does he like General Lu Qingbang, who led his troops to fight against the Kingdom of Ya. In the past, everyone spread the rumors vividly while being skeptical, after all, it was all hearsay, and no one had any definite evidence. Today, it turns out to be true. General Lu returned triumphantly from the south and made great contributions, but the head of the Lu family didn't even come out to greet him.
Tsk tsk, there is indeed no smoke without fire.
It is not advisable to hit a smiling person, but Wu Dutong was not a pushover. Hearing this, he also smiled and said, "Master Lu has been waiting in the mansion for a long time. You can get off your horse and go in."
Lu Qingbang immediately looked disappointed: "I thought that my uncle would come out to greet me."
His voice was quite loud and the soldiers and civilians nearby could hear it clearly.
"If there is any problem, you can coordinate among yourselves." Wu Dutong did not flatter him. Your uncle did not welcome you, it is your uncle's problem, why bother to argue with me?
"Okay." Lu Qingbang waved his hand behind him.
He dismounted, and more than a thousand people behind him also dismounted and followed him forward.
Wu Dutong narrowed his eyes and said, "You can go in, but everyone else must stay outside!"
Lu Qingbang asked curiously, "I am going to the capital of Bailie and the ancestral home of my Lu family. What does it have to do with Wu Dutong whether I bring anyone with me?"
What I mean is that you are meddling too much.
Lu Qingbang had never been so rude to the generals of the Mou Kingdom. Someone must be backing him up. Wu Dutong laughed instead of getting angry: "Why, do you want to bring Cang Yan's army to force your way into the Lu Mansion?"
The focus is "Cang Yan's army"!
He could choose not to stop Lu Qingbang, but it was his duty to stop the Dragon God Army. We were all "outsiders".
During the dialogue between the two sides, dozens of people walked out of the gate of Lu Mansion, led by Lu Zhensheng.
With a smile on his face, he walked from behind Mou Jun to Lu Qingbang. Many pairs of eyes at the scene saw him patting his nephew's shoulders and neck and said with satisfaction: "Qingbang is great, you are worthy of being a son of my Lu family! This is a great victory, Bailie will celebrate for three days and three nights!"
Lu Qingbang immediately pointed at Mou Jun in front of him and asked him, "Uncle, what's going on?"
"Your brother was afraid that Ya Ren would retaliate against us, so he asked the Emperor to send guards. These commanders are also doing their duty." Lu Zhensheng said this in passing, seemingly understating it, but in fact it contained a warning:
Don't act rashly. Your second brother is a general of the Mou Kingdom, and the team in front of you is the army of the Mou Kingdom!
If it weren't for the fact that the Dragon God Army had left 1,600 men to guard the city in Bailie when they marched south to conquer Ya, and if it weren't for the fact that the Dragon God Army was stationed at every checkpoint from here to the border, Lu Zhensheng would most likely have closed the city gates and kept the danger out.
I don’t think Lu Laoliu and his son would do such a ridiculous thing as attacking their own capital.
What a pity, it seemed that the opponent had already prepared for this move.
"By the way, where is your father?"
Lu Zhensheng is very familiar with using his seniority to pressure others.
At this time, a man slowly walked up from behind Lu Qingbang. It was Lu Zhenxian.
His eyes were almost slitted with laughter: "Brother, brother! Qingbang fought hard in the south and finally won. Oh, we hurried as fast as we could, hoping to come back quickly to announce the good news!"
"This is a great happy event, we must celebrate it well!" Lu Zhensheng naturally held his shoulders and led him to the mansion, "The celebration banquet is ready for you, come in, come in!"
"No hurry!" Lu Zhenxian's lower body was very stable. With his weight, ordinary people could not easily carry him. "In the battle of Ya Country, our Bailie Army is just participating. The real winner, the real backbone is here, let me introduce you to him!"
When he talked about the word "mainstay", he spoke very loudly.
Lu Zhensheng's heart skipped a beat. What was coming could not be avoided. But he had to show surprise on his face: "Oh? Which general from Cangyan Kingdom is here?"
Before he finished speaking, the Dragon God Army in the rear suddenly separated and more than ten riders came forward.
The leading knight was wearing a black gold armor and a ferocious mask. The black horse he was riding was taller than an ordinary horse, and its jet of air was like clouds.
Far behind him, two black flags followed him slowly forward.
The wind came, blowing the flags vigorously. On one flag was the word "Jiuyou", while on the other flag was just a big word "He"!
This word, this surname...
Lu Zhensheng's pupils suddenly shrank.
He originally thought that the one leading the Dragon God Army was a certain general of Cang Yan, but he didn't expect it to be the Emperor Jiuyou himself!
why?
Why would the leader of a great country be so interested in a mere hundred columns?
This kind of interest made Lu Zhensheng inexplicably frightened ever since the Dragon God Army came to support Bailie.
