Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child

Xiao Lian 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 declare to you first that Tang Pei's death has nothing to do with me. I didn't kill people."

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

Lu Yuguang closed his mouth and did not speak.

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

Lu Yuguang 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 Lian: "Then why are you helping him keep a secret?"

Lu Luiguang refused to admit it: "I have nothing to do with Du Tao! I don't know anything about him!"

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

"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 after the incident."

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 will send troops to take over Liaodong County.

By then, you and your family will not be spared. "

Lu Yuguang's expression changed.

Up to now, he has become Du Tao's abandoned son, and it is impossible for Du Tao to risk his return to save him. Once what happened in Liaodong County is leaked, the Lu family's head will 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 one condition."

Xiao Lian motioned to him.

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

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

Although Prince Lang has a vicious reputation, his words always count. Lu Linguang took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Du Tao joined the Eastern Crusade four years ago.

He's a good guy and a smart guy.

Not long 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 material that can be made, and the future is promising.

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

After Du Tao got acquainted with the generals in the army, he figured out the character and weakness of each general.

Then he designed to lead those generals into the trap, forcing those generals to be in a state of mischief with 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.

Three years ago, Tang Guixi suddenly disappeared, 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, and I guess she has suffered an accident in nine out of ten.

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

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

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

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 Longtan Tiger's Den was ahead, he wouldn't take a step back because of this.

It is precisely because of his principle of not giving in 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. "

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

Lu Yuguang continued to speak.

"Tang Pei was ill 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 his 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 tight, and he 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 have no choice but to follow his wishes, increase the tax 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 and threatened, while satisfying the desires of those generals.

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

Having said that, Lu Linguang sighed deeply.

"You came too late. Now the Eastern Expedition Army has completely belonged to Du Tao. His position in the army is unmatched. Unless Tang Pei can survive, no one can shake his position."

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

The Eastern Expedition Army had 100,000 soldiers and horses, and killing them was as easy as the palm of their hand.

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

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

"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 Linguang and asked.

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

Lu Luiguang smiled bitterly, 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 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 that you were 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. "

Prince Min was angry and afraid: "If Prince Lang and I are here, and the emperor will investigate, you will not escape death!"
