Chapter 79 Rescue
In the second half of the night, they were all wearing black clothes and covering their faces.
This time they were risking their lives to save people. Whether they succeeded or not, they might not be able to escape unscathed. So before the rescue, Lu Yan said to the prince's men: "Whether we can save people this time or not, we might be discovered. Those of you who have wives, children and mothers, have they settled down? We are saving people to repay our gratitude, so don't sacrifice the lives of innocent people."
"We had already thought about how to save the prince and how to save innocent people. We had already sent our family members far away because we knew that saving people this time might cost us our own lives."
"General, we know that you and the prince are good friends. If we can't rescue the prince this time, what will you do? After all, His Majesty has heavily guarded the prison. He may have expected that some people would be ready to rescue the prince. The prince may not want us to risk our lives to save him."
Lu Yan said earnestly: "I think everyone knows that the prince has a child. The prince's greatest wish is that his child can be safe. I have done all this, so the only thing left is the prince. As long as the prince is rescued, there will be hope."
Of course they understood that as long as they rescued the prince, the truth would be revealed and the emperor sitting in the court would become passive. However, if he killed innocent people in anger, then they would be guilty.
Therefore, the rescue tonight must be foolproof and no innocent people must be involved.
In the second half of the night, a group of people quietly approached the prison. In order to rescue the prince, they used a despicable method, which was to knock these people unconscious by using incense.
They approached the cell door and blew a cloud of smoke inside.
Then he looked around and made sure there would be no problems before Lu Yan took a few people and quietly went to the cell.
They saw the prince in the last cell.
The prince sat in the corner.
Lu Yan called out softly, "Prince, it's me. We are here to save you."
But at this moment, a large group of officers and soldiers suddenly came, and they were all masters of the palace, and surrounded them.
Lu Yan and his men fought desperately, but they were outnumbered and were eventually captured.
Soon, His Majesty learned about this and interrogated them at night.
However, those people couldn't stand Da Xing and didn't want to implicate their families, so they could only blame all the mistakes on Lu Yan.
In the end, Lu Yan took on everything.
In the Dali Temple.
Lu Yan was interrogated personally by His Majesty.
"At this point, what else do you have to say? Hurry up and hand over the child to me. I will spare your life for the sake of our past friendship."
"Your Majesty, do you really feel at ease sitting in this position?"
"This position originally belonged to me, and I have no regrets about it."
"What about the will that the Immortal Emperor hid? Your Majesty, can you take it out and show it to us court officials? Let's see who exactly is written on it to inherit the throne?"
"Since you know all this, we can't let you stay. But I will leave your body intact because you have raised the young master for so long. Do you have any last words?"
Lu Yan looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
Lu Yan straightened his spine, looked at the high and mighty Majesty with a sharp gaze, and said loudly: "What I do is only for justice. I believe that one day, the truth will be revealed to the world. By then, will your Majesty still be able to sit in this position?"
"You are really kind. I feel that my brother has only talent but is totally incapable of being the ruler of the world. So this position was originally mine. Do I need your consent to protect my own things?"
Lu Yan snorted coldly, "What a far-fetched argument! If everyone in the world were like Your Majesty, taking a position that doesn't belong to them and making such far-fetched arguments, wouldn't the whole world be in chaos? Do you want to see your world become like this?"
His Majesty fell into deep thought.
Although he did that in the beginning and got the support of a large number of people to sit in this position, he was never at peace every day. He dreamed at night that someone was strangling his neck and demanding his life. He felt even more sorry for his father who was in heaven.
But now he also has to pretend to be calm. After all, he can't let him see his weaknesses, let alone his flaws. Otherwise, all this will be successful. Once more people support the third brother, his position will be lost.
The atmosphere in the hall was as heavy as lead. The flickering candlelight reflected Lu Yan's resolute face and His Majesty's uncertain expression. After a long while, His Majesty spoke in a cold and hard voice: "Lu Yan, stop trying to gain the upper hand with your words. Hand over the prince, and I will guarantee that your family will be safe. Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."
Lu Yan glared at him, "Your Majesty, since you have already strayed from the right path, how can you protect my family? The prince has lived an upright life, serving the country and the people, but you imprisoned him for your own selfish desires. Justice is clear, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
These words were like a sharp knife, piercing the hidden worries in Your Majesty's heart. He stood up suddenly, his dragon robe fluttering, but he forced himself to suppress his anger and sat down again.
At this time, outside the Dali Temple, wind and rain suddenly arose, with lightning and thunder.
Lu Yan laughed when he saw the opportunity. It seemed that even God couldn't stand it anymore.
"What are you laughing at? You are still so stubborn even when you are about to die. I advise you to tell me the whereabouts of your third son as soon as possible so that my people can find him. I can also spare you and your wife because of your hard work in serving the court for many years."
Lu Yan snorted coldly, "It seems that your majesty knows everything about me, so I won't hide it anymore. Even if you want to kill me with a knife today, I will not tell you the whereabouts of the prince."
Your Majesty was furious.
They all say that this great general is a loyal and righteous man, but today he has learned his lesson and found himself very stubborn.
He also felt that there was no need to continue the trial.
So he called his subordinates.
"Put General Lu in jail, so that no one can rescue him. Don't put him in jail with the third brother, or they will plot something again."
"Yes, sire."
After Lu Yan was taken away, he looked at the sky above the Dali Temple. He knew that he could not escape this disaster after all, and as long as his wife and children were safe, it would be fine.
Gu Leyou accidentally cut her hand while cutting vegetables today, leaving a small cut on her finger. She knew the situation was not good, and she could only stand there and worry.
So she knelt in the yard and prayed to God.
"God, you must bless him to come back safely. As long as he is alive, even if he loses his arms and legs, I will have no regrets."
But in this matter, unless His Majesty thinks it through and releases the person, it will be very dangerous.
Lu Yan had long thought that this day would come sooner or later.
