Chapter 1518: Twenty-Eight Decisive Battles of the Han Banner World 208

The moment Gao Yuan stepped into Xianyang City, he received a report from Yan Haibo that Lu Chao wanted to see him. Yan Haibo came here in person. In his heart, he wanted to set up a cannon and blast it with a few cannons, and everything would be over. So much wordiness? I still want to see His Majesty. It's really a weird thing to say. You placed so much gunpowder outside and inside the palace. Are you planning to assassinate me in front of the array again? Back then, outside Hangu Pass, Lu Chao held a banquet with wine. If Gao Yuan hadn't been alert, a glass of poisoned wine would have been poured on the spot. This can be remembered by all the Han generals.

Meng Chong also hurried over, and with him was Cao Tianci. Xianyang City had basically fallen into the hands of the Han army, but the war had just ended, and everything in the city was in chaos. With Meng Chong The work of restoring order headed by Cao Tianci as deputy has just begun.

"We must not go see him, he is a lunatic." Meng Chong said flatly. He even opposed Gao Yuan entering the city at this time. "Your Majesty, God has just captured several members of the Eagle Department of the Qin State who were damaged by the explosion. According to their confessions, the Eagle Department General Gou Yi and thousands of Ying tribe soldiers have dispersed to Xianyang City. Lu Chao's order to them is to do everything possible to destroy and assassinate our senior Han officials. You are their primary target. Now you, We should stay in the camp outside the city instead of venturing into the city."

"How can a dignified emperor of a country be afraid of some ghostly means?" Gao Yuan sneered, "The Han army has entered the city with 300,000 people. Now Meng Chong, you and Cao Tianci have tens of thousands of security forces in their hands. If you still have If you can't do a good job in security, isn't it your dereliction of duty? Lu Chao, I want to see you."

"Your Majesty, we don't know how many explosives Lu Chao has piled in the black ice platform. If there are too many, it will cause a disaster. This person simply doesn't want to live. I think he just wants to drag someone on his back. ." Cao Tianci said anxiously: "Your Majesty, he hates you. He is afraid that the sky is high and the sea is deep, how can he not be on guard?"

Gao Yuan shook his head: "How many explosives can he prepare? Xianyang destroyed the city so quickly. As an emperor, how would he hide explosives in the palace? How could he find so many in such a hurry? When the time comes, I just need to stay away from him."

Seeing that Gao Yuan had made up his mind, several people looked at each other with sad faces. Yan Haibo rolled his eyes, suddenly remembered something, and pulled Cao Tianci aside.

"Xiao Cao. Lu Chao killed his father-in-law, son, and daughter-in-law, but there was one person he didn't touch. He was his mother."

"Mrs. Lu?" Cao Tianci said in surprise.

"Yes, it shows that this guy is quite filial. If you go and bring Mrs. Lu to the scene now, I don't believe it. Lu Chao really has that heart and can he cook his mother in one pot?" Yan Haibo said.

"How many explosives are stored in the Black Ice Platform?" Cao Tianci was a little annoyed. Such uncertain things are the most troublesome. Unexpectedly, we encountered a big boss like Gao Yuan.

And the relationship between the Lugao family. It is indeed unusual.

"There are three boxes outside the main hall. I wonder if there are any inside?" Yan Haibo spread his hands, "According to what I want, if you bomb them with artillery, there will be nothing left. No matter how many boxes he places, His Majesty will live. That bastard Chao is just a stickler, if you dare to go up, he will light it on his own."

Cao Tianci was silent for a moment, he understood Gao Yuan's thoughts. Gao Yuan has always felt guilty about the Lu family. Especially Mrs. Lu, who is still alive, is a worry for Gao Yuan.

"I'll take Mrs. Lu to the scene, and you can think of a solution. Isn't Lu Chao alone? And he's also a scholar. He has no power to restrain a chicken. You can't even do this. You still have the nerve to lead an army all the way. ?”

"It is precisely because the situation is unclear that we dare not act rashly!" Yan Haibo said with a sad face.

When Gao Yuan appeared under the black ice platform, he unexpectedly saw Mrs. Lu accompanied by Cao Tianci. In front, rows of shields extended to the first level of the steps, firmly blocking Gao Yuan behind him. At this distance, even if Lu Chao had a grenade in his hand, he would not be able to throw it so far.

"Auntie!" Gao Yuan hurriedly walked up to Mrs. Lu and bowed deeply.

Mrs. Lu looked at Gao Yuan in front of her with mixed feelings. She never imagined that the child who had grown up relying on the care and support of her family had now become the best person in the world, and his final opponent was actually herself. 's biological son.

"Gao Yuan, you..." He just shouted, but couldn't say anything else. He just turned his head and looked at the top of the black ice platform, tears falling down.

"Auntie, please advise my eldest brother. The matter has come to this, why are you still so obsessed? Take a step back, the sea and the sky are brighter." Gao Yuan said in a low voice.

"For him, there is no way out." Mrs. Lu shook her head, "He has always been so stubborn and refuses to admit defeat, especially he doesn't want to lose to you. Gao Yuan, will you kill him?"

Gao Yuan shook his head: "No, Auntie, if the eldest brother can come down, I guarantee that he can return to the old house in Fufeng and live the rest of his life peacefully."

"What a pity..." Mrs. Lu sighed. "Lu Chao will not surrender to you, Gao Yuan. I don't want to ask you for anything else. I just ask you to let my grandson go. I will take him back to his old house in Fufeng."

Gao Yuan looked at Mrs. Lu's face and smiled bitterly. Lu Chao had already killed his son with his own hands, but the old lady didn't know. Maybe it was this only thought that supported the old man now.

Turning his head, Gao Yuan waved his hand: "Remove the shield."

There was a crash, and the shields scattered to both sides. Gao Yuan strode out and shouted sternly: "Lu Chao, don't you want to see me? I'm already here. Now that things have happened, why don't you admit defeat? A real man lives in the world and gets what he wants. If you lose, you lose. If you behave like this, you won't make me look down on you."

With a bang, the door of the Black Ice Terrace Hall opened again, and Lu Chao walked out, looking at Gao Yuan with wolf-like eyes.

"Aren't you still willing to admit defeat?" Gao Yuan shouted.

Lu Chao laughed loudly: "Of course I gave up. Now, how can I not give up? Gao Yuan, why are you engaging in such a big battle? Are you afraid that I will assassinate you? It's funny that you are getting less and less courageous."

"It's essential to be on guard against others." Gao Yuan said, "You've already done it once."

"It's a pity that we fell short." Lu Chao shook his head repeatedly with regret: "Gao Yuan, just put your heart in your stomach. At that time, I still had a chance to make a comeback, but now. I have lost everything. There is no need to make any more calculations. I asked you to come. I just want to take a last look at you and see the good-for-nothing dude you were back then. How could you be so virtuous and capable as to be where you are today. I want to remember you. It looks like I will be reincarnated in the next life so that I can come and compete with you again."

"Lu Chao, brother, give up. You are still young. There is no need to go all the way. I won't do anything to you. Putting down your identity and becoming an ordinary person is not necessarily a bad choice! Gao Yuan shouted loudly.

"Surrender to you? Surrender at your feet? Surrendering to you is really a joke!" Lu Chao said sternly: "Don't even think about it. I, Lu Chao, have lost nothing now, but I still have the face, and I still have the courage to With dignity, I killed my wife and children just because I didn’t want them to crawl at your feet. As your subject, I, Lu Chao, will never admit defeat to you."

Before Gao Yuan could answer, a shrill scream came from beside him. After hearing what Lu Chao said, Mrs. Lu fainted on the spot. Gao Yuan took a step forward, helped Mrs. Lu up, and shouted sternly: "Lu Chao, are you still a human being? Look here, look at your mother, do you want her to watch you die? You don't want to take care of her in her old age. ?"

Lu Chao's eyes were fixed on his mother, and he said after a long while: "Gao Yuan, I leave this matter to you. Think of it as a reward for the Lu family's taking care of you for more than ten years. Don't you claim to be unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness?" I won’t owe my mother anything.”

Gao Yuan watched Lu Chao flick his sleeves and turn around to enter the palace. With a bang, the hall door slammed shut.

"Protect your majesty and retreat!" Yan Haibo shouted sharply, and hundreds of shield bearers rushed up, stacked layer by layer in front of Gao Yuan. Cao Tianci and Meng Chong quickly pulled Gao Yuan back. , Cao Tianci picked up Mrs. Lu and walked backwards.

In the Black Ice Platform Hall, there was a sudden muffled sound. There was a crash on the top of the hall, and a big hole was opened. Countless bricks and rubble flew into the sky. Then the sound of explosions stopped, and countless falling rocks hit the shield. , banging sound.

After retreating to a safe distance, the shield bearers still formed a formation to protect them. Gao Yuan looked at the black ice platform that had been ignited with raging fire. He sighed silently and shook his head: "Burn it, it doesn't matter, this palace is so high up there." , should never exist in the world."

It was late at night, Gao Yuan was sitting by the bed, looking at the unconscious Mrs. Lu, his heart was filled with guilt. If there was anyone else he could feel sorry for, it was the Lu family and his wife. He didn't want to kill Lu Chao just because he didn't want to make Mrs. Lu sad, but now that he has done nothing, the Lu family will be over.

"Your Majesty, the old lady has run out of oil and is heartbroken. She is really helpless." Several doctors knelt down in front of Gao Yuan tremblingly. They were all court doctors of the Qin State. Now one by one His face was earth-colored, and he was afraid that if he responded incorrectly, he would lose his head.

"Everyone, get up. This is none of your business. Life and death are up to you. Wealth is in the sky." Gao Yuan waved his hand, "Go down!"

A faint sigh came from the bed. Gao Yuan turned around and walked back to the bed, "Auntie." He called softly.

"Gao Yuan, it's you!"

"yes!"

"I'm going to see your Uncle Lu, to reunite with Chao'er and my lovely little grandson." Mrs. Lu's face showed a sickly blush. "In the blink of an eye, your uncle has been gone for ten years."

Gao Yuan shed tears and said nothing. "This is all my fault."

"This is fate!" Mrs. Lu sighed: "Gao Yuan, let me ask you something."

"No matter what you say, I will do it for you."

"I'll die, take me back to Fufeng for burial, and your uncle, you can take us all back to Fufeng for burial together. Chao'er said that he wants to build a big mausoleum for your uncle, but we don't care about it. I still miss Fufeng!"

"Yes, don't worry, I will definitely do it. I will bring the two elders back to Fufeng and have a grand burial there."

"No, no, just bury it quietly." Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "Although I am a woman, I also know that you have done a good job in these years, much better than Chao'er. You and I Uncles are also people who have suffered, so I won’t blame you, and your uncle won’t blame you. The people of the world are naturally much more important than my Lu family! But Gao Yuan, I won’t be able to celebrate the holidays in the future. You are the only one who burns incense on paper for your Uncle Lu."

Gao Yuan wiped his tears and said, "Don't worry, aunt, Gao Yuan will definitely let the two old men smoke cigarettes in front of their graves and die together with Han."

Mrs. Lu smiled and slowly closed her eyes.
