Chapter 197 The unlucky chicken
From the moment he boarded the boat, Wu Ju was in danger. Although there were dozens of guards following him, they looked like chickens and dogs to Lu Meng.
Before Lu Meng killed the chicken to scare the monkey, he wanted to find out the truth about Yulin County, so he was not in a hurry to take action.
"I heard that the general once attacked Bushan County and drove Lai Gong to Tanzhong County. Why did he return after being defeated?" Lu Meng asked puzzledly.
Wu Ju sighed and said: "Lai Gong is mediocre and incompetent. I almost drove him out of Jiaozhou. But then thousands of strange soldiers suddenly appeared. No matter how powerful the water or land battle is, I really can't defeat him..."
"Water and land battles are great? Have you found out the details?" Lu Meng was surprised that there is such an army in Jiaozhou.
"Lai Gong guarded the main road after he regained Yulin. I also found out the situation of the troops and horses through a special route. It is very likely that they were Yue people recruited from the west of Yulin..." Wu Ju analyzed.
When Lu Meng heard about the Yue soldiers, he immediately became a little disdainful. I, Jiangdong, have wiped out many Shanyue rebellions. These foreigners are only interested in profit and are easy to bribe, but they have no loyalty. Lai Gongzhong uses Yue people to lure wolves into the house, isn't it? Maybe the capital of Yulin County
It has been controlled by those Yue people.
Seeing the melancholy look on Wu Ju's face, he thought to himself, I thought of you as a person before, but I didn't expect you to be such a fool. You are good at water and land battles. It's all up to you, okay?
"Could it be that the Yue caravan took the special route of Governor Wu? I remember that their leader was called Abu." Wei Jing suddenly interrupted.
Wu Ju nodded, "It's this caravan, but after Abu died of illness, the new leader of the caravan is now Usdin."
Lu Meng thought that this guy would dodge this topic, but Wu Ju unexpectedly said it quite frankly.
"I heard that Yue caravans often travel between Jingzhou and Jiaozhou. General Wu has close contacts with them. He should have bought a lot of good things from Lingnan and Lingbei, right?" Lu Meng asked meaningfully.
Seeing this, Wu Ju quickly took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it over, saying with a smile: "General Lu came to Jiaozhou for the first time. I don't know that there are many miasmas and poisonous insects here. If you accidentally endanger your life, this Qinghao Pill can get rid of it."
It is a magic medicine that can be bought for a lot of money to cure diseases and disasters. I specially asked for it to be given to the general..."
Wei Jing's heart tightened when he saw the wooden box, and he was even more suspicious when he heard Wu Ju's introduction of the name. He quickly took it for Lu Meng.
When he opened the wooden box, he saw two brown pills inside, which were clearly the green pills sent by Shi Xie.
Wei Jing was dumbfounded. He changed the name of the pill and offered poison again? Are all these people in Jiaozhou fools? They used the same trick one after another.
"Is this the legendary green pill?" Wei Jing turned the wooden box over and faced Wu Ju and asked.
"General Wei actually knows this thing? I don't need to introduce its medicinal effects, hahaha." Wu Ju responded with a naive smile.
Lu Meng had never seen Midori before, but he immediately guessed it after hearing the conversation between Wu Ju and Wei Jing.
It has only been half a year since Bu Zhi passed away, and you have already prepared a way for me to die?
Lu Meng frowned and said, "I appreciate General Wu's kindness. I can't tolerate such a magical medicine. Why don't you take it yourself now?"
Wu Ju was stunned and said awkwardly: "Are you kidding me, General Lu? I'm not sick and I'm not taking any medicine..."
Lu Meng stood up and snorted coldly: "Am I, Lu Meng, sick?"
"Uh... I have no other intention. I just want the general to prepare for emergencies..." Wu Ju explained quickly.
"Tie them up." Lu Meng suddenly waved his hand.
The guards on the ship rushed over like tigers and wolves. Wu Ju's guards immediately drew their swords to resist, and blood spattered the deck in an instant.
Wu Ju was alone with his sword across his chest. He stared at Lu Meng and Wei Jing, swallowed his saliva and said, "What do you mean? I have surrendered to Sun Cheqi..."
Wei Jing took advantage of Wu Ju's lack of spare time and blocked it with his sword, knocking the long sword out of Wu Ju's hand. Several men pinned him down on the deck, and then tied him up and threw him there.
"I have two thousand elite soldiers accompanying me, why are you doing this to me?" Wu Ju looked in disbelief and rolled on the deck like rice dumplings.
Lu Meng looked up to the sky and laughed: "What do you call two thousand elite soldiers? When we were talking just now, I mobilized a few battleships to recruit them. How can you have the honor to call them elite soldiers at that level?"
"Lu Ziming, I have no enmity with you Jiangdong, why are you treating me like this?" Wu Ju struggled and said.
Wu Ju had just been tied up and struggled, and now his hair was disheveled and in a mess. Lu Meng knelt down and looked at him with disdain, and said meaningfully: "I don't see that you are quite capable of scheming. The former took away Bu Zishan's life-saving pills.
Now you use it to plot against me, and you dare to say that you have no grievances against me?"
"No...Ziming, have you made a mistake? I have never taken any life-saving pills, let alone used them to harm you. What is going on?" Wu Ju looked innocent.
Lu Meng smiled and said to Wei Jing: "Brother Ziqi, look at this guy still pretending to be serious."
Wei Jing picked up a green pill and walked to Wu Ju, "Did you buy this green pill from Abu's caravan?"
Wu Ju hesitated a little, and then answered honestly: "This was given to me by Usdin as a filial piety..."
"Usdin paid two green pills as a tribute at that time?" Wei Jing asked coldly.
Wu Ju blinked first, then shook his head violently: "There was a shipload of goods at that time. If General Wei needs it, I will send someone to Panyu immediately."
"No need, I can't bear the gift from General Wu." Wei Jing said in a strange tone, "You robbed a ship and you're still acting like this with me."
"Ziqi, give General Wu the magic medicine to take for himself." Lu Meng said, shaking his head.
"only."
Wei Jing took the other one in the wooden box in his hand, and force-fed the two Qinghao pills into Wu Ju's mouth. He originally thought that the man would be very resistant, but unexpectedly he swallowed them cooperatively.
"General Wu, how do these Qinghao pills taste?" Lu Meng asked condescendingly, with his hands behind his back and his waist bent.
"A little bitter..." Wu Ju replied at a loss.
Lu Meng stood up straight and sneered: "It's okay to be bitter. General Wu is the prefect of Cangwu. How can you run out of water after taking this magical medicine?"
"No, you're too polite..." Wu Ju fell to the ground, not knowing where he was guilty. He could only follow Lu Meng's wishes and find a way to survive.
"You're welcome, Yu Shui should be enough for you to drink..." Lu Meng nodded to Wei Jing, and let the few strong men behind him lift Wu Ju up, and the soldier slowly walked towards the bow of the ship.
Wu Ju's face turned pale with fear, and his body began to tremble. He hurriedly struggled and shouted: "Do you really want to kill me? Why on earth is this?"
"My lord wants to occupy Jiaozhou, and he wants to kill your chicken to show your power to the monkeys. General Lu is giving you a pleasure. Do you know how Brother Zishan and Na Bu died?" Wei Jing shook his head and sneered.
