Lu Chen's fists were like raindrops, hitting Yang Xuzi's body without mercy, making him run away in fear and screaming in pain.
The people around were horrified. This was the first time they saw Lu Chen so angry.
It’s not uncommon for officials to fight each other in the court in the past. Didn’t the six ministers fight each other some time ago?
But the six ministers are still literati after all, and they are so old.
Even if they fight with each other, there won't be any big problem.
But Lu Chen is different. He is young and strong, while Yangxuzi is still an old man.
Lu Chen went up and used an electric cannon to knock Yang Xuzi to the ground. He then beat and kicked Yang Xuzi, causing him to run around in panic.
At the beginning, Yangxuzi could still utter a few harsh words, but later on, he didn't even have the strength to speak, and was beaten by Lu Chen until his whole body was trembling.
When Lu Chen had beaten Yang Xuzi almost to death, Li Zhuo finally came to his senses and hurriedly ordered his attendants, "Where are the guards? Stand and fight! Hurry and pull the two immortal masters apart!"
The guards around looked at Li Zhuo, then at Lu Chen, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.
Lu Chen had stopped at this time, and the guards didn't know whether they should rush forward to pull Lu Chen away, or should politely step forward and ask Lu Chen to step aside.
Fortunately, Lu Chen didn't make things difficult for them. He clapped his hands and stood up. He spat on Yang Xuzi and said, "Old man, I usually don't bother with you. You really think you are a god!"
"You dog! Do you think you're not responsible for this defeat? I heard it was you, old fellow, who tricked the Crown Prince into leaving the city to pursue us. Honestly, you're the one who deserves to be beheaded!"
Upon hearing this, the eldest prince, who was in a state of bereavement, suddenly felt as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. He cried out like crazy, "Father! Father! I was so foolish! I shouldn't have listened to the slander of the evil Taoist Yangxuzi and shouldn't have led the soldiers out of the city!"
"Father, no matter how many mistakes I make, they are all Yangxuzi's fault. Please understand my mistake!"
After hearing this, Yangxuzi spat out a mouthful of blood. He never dreamed that the eldest prince was so useless that he sold him out so easily!
He stretched out his hand, pointed at the eldest prince tremblingly and said, "You are not worthy of being my advisor!"
Yangxuzi saw that the eldest prince had been deposed. He no longer cared about the throne. His only goal now was to survive.
In order to survive, the eldest prince would resort to any means, even directly betraying his ally.
Yangxuzi was so angry that he wanted to beat his chest and stamp his feet! He should have seen that the eldest prince was a loser long ago, and he should have cut ties with the eldest prince long ago.
But it was too late to say these things now. He was knocked to the ground by Lu Chen, and in the court, in front of so many people. He was completely humiliated.
Before, you boasted that you and Lu Chen were from the same school, and that he was even Lu Chen's uncle. Now, an uncle has been beaten like this by a junior, and he has no ability to fight back at all. How can people believe that you are an immortal master?
The only option left was to go all out, so Yangxuzi rolled over on the ground and said, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What I said is true. I can really set up a large formation and annihilate the enemy outside the city!"
But before he could finish his words, Lu Chen kicked him hard in the mouth, knocking out several of his teeth.
After Yangxuzi screamed, Lu Chen sneered and said, "Haha, I let you out of the city and let you set up the battle formation. After you leave the city, are we going to let the enemy troops in directly?"
"By then, you will be considered a hero of the Liao and Jin dynasties. At least you won't have to die, right?"
Lu Chen's words were like a dagger, stabbing directly into Yangxuzi's heart.
He looked at Lu Chen in shock and said, "You, you, you, how do you know? No, I mean, how can you slander me!"
Lu Chen sneered and said, "Whether I'm slandering you or not, you know it in your heart. Do you think I've done nothing all this time and just let a clown like you mess around in the court?"
"I'm telling you, the Imperial Guards are monitoring your every word and action, including the letter you wrote to Yelu Song!"
As he spoke, Lu Chen pulled out a letter from his pocket, bowed to Li Zhuo and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look. This letter is evidence of Yangxuzi's collusion with the enemy."
Li Zhuo looked at Lu Chen in shock. He didn't expect things to develop to this point.
To be honest, when Yangxuzi claimed that he had a way to set up an array outside and annihilate the enemy, Li Zhuo was indeed tempted.
Thinking about it now, his back is covered in cold sweat.
If Yangxuzi really takes control of the city gate and then joins forces with the Liao and Jin people, the consequences will be unimaginable!
At this time, the letter had already been delivered to Li Zhuo. After reading the letter, Li Zhuo was so angry that he was shaking all over.
He slammed the table fiercely and shouted, "Come here, arrest Yangxuzi and torture him severely. Interrogate him thoroughly and ask him if he has any accomplices!"
After receiving the order, the guards around wanted to step forward and take Yangxuzi away.
Yangxuzi naturally cried out loudly that he was wronged, and in fact he was really wronged.
Why was he so shocked just now? Because the idea of surrendering to the enemy had just come to his mind and he had not put it into action yet.
As a result, Lu Chen directly revealed his inner thoughts. How could he not be shocked?
After Yangxuzi discovered that the eldest prince was unreliable and that he might not be able to gain a foothold in the court of Daqi, he thought about quickly defecting to Liao and Jin.
