Chapter 567 The Hidden King
Bang!
The sudden sound of a clear gong startled everyone who was waiting for their meal.
"Wolf!"
Guan Laoqi roared.
Then the men took up their weapons.
The women and the elderly quickly pulled the playing children to their side, and looked cautiously at the dark forest around them.
whoosh!
Someone drew his bow and shot an arrow!
The next moment, there was movement in the forest.
The howling of wolves soon began.
A pack of wolves rushed towards the camp.
At this time, the traps set by everyone earlier were triggered one after another.
A wolf was hung up with a rope and strangled to death in mid-air.
A wolf fell into a pit and was pierced through the body by a sharpened wooden spear stuck upside down at the bottom of the pit.
Before the wolves could rush to the fence outside the camp, twenty or thirty wolves had already been killed by various traps.
The wolves' attack was paused.
Then, the howling of wolves with a sad tone was heard. Instead of continuing to rush towards the camp, the wolves quickly left in a group.
The wolves' first attack on the migrating team from Lingshui Village ended in failure.
But everyone in Lingshui Village was in a heavy mood.
They hadn't yet reached the valley where they were seeking refuge. According to Guan Laoqi, they were only halfway there. Strictly speaking, they hadn't yet penetrated the depths of the mountains.
The journey ahead is destined to be restless.
That night, all the villagers who were on guard were extremely nervous, worried that the wolves would make a surprise attack.
Fortunately, the wolves escaped and did not come back halfway.
But everyone understood that they had made enemies with this group of wolves.
Wolves are the most vengeful creatures.
In the following days, they will inevitably continue to face harassment from wolves.
…
In Lingshui Village, Zhao Bingzhao and Zhao Rui used all means to interrogate the ancestors of those they captured for eight generations.
However, those people lurking outside Lingshui Village were really patient.
These people can actually endure not moving for a whole day. Even if they want to go to the bathroom, they have to wait until after dark.
Uncle Lu originally wanted to wait for these people to make a move, and then he would wait in the wings. But this group of people's patience had clearly reached an extremely demanding level.
In the end, Uncle Lu felt that as an elderly man, he didn't want to compete with this group of young people in patience.
Uncle Lu left quietly, gave Zhao Bingzhao a small piece of paper as a reminder, and then hid again.
After receiving the warning letter from Uncle Lu, Master Zhao Er immediately ordered Zhao Rui to lead his men to attack the area where they had been hiding.
Yesterday the moon was bright and shining, but today it is covered by dark clouds.
Zhao Rui did not lead his men directly into the forest, but surrounded the forest and used fire attack.
The group of people hiding in the woods had no idea how they were exposed. However, the fire attack had already been used, and if they didn't want to be turned into charcoal, they had no choice but to break out.
Although they knew that someone had set an ambush outside the woods, they had no choice but to rush out in order to survive.
The battle between two armies depends on the right time, place and people.
But the group of people lurking in the woods have none of these three characteristics.
Their breakout was doomed to failure.
If it weren't for the purpose of capturing someone alive, these people wouldn't even be able to get close to Zhao Rui's men and would be shot into hedgehogs. But even if it was for the purpose of capturing someone alive, most of these people died under the rain of arrows.
We don’t need too many survivors, just a few will be enough!
"This kid is really cruel!"
After witnessing this sneak attack under the guidance of Zhao Rui, Uncle Lu sighed in his heart.
He is the one who guards the dragon veins of the Tang Dynasty.
Strictly speaking, he is actually of royal blood.
Unfortunately, from the day Emperor Taizu chose his ancestors to guard the dragon vein, they were no longer considered part of the royal family.
The Hidden King's lineage was still considered royal, and if necessary, they could even inherit the throne with certain credentials. However, this branch of theirs, guarding the dragon vein, would never have a chance at the throne.
However, Uncle Lu didn't think there was anything unfair about this.
Some people may be coveting the throne.
However, Uncle Lu really wasn't jealous. Mainly because being an emperor was too tiring!
In Uncle Lu's opinion, everyone in the world has their own way of living. The emperor sitting on the dragon throne and acting like he wants to think about the people of the world is simply because he has nothing better to do.
The emperor was always thinking about the people of the world, but he never did anything practical for them. Occasionally, the emperor would formulate a few policies that benefited the country and the people, but because of the hypocrisy or misunderstanding of the people below, the policies that were meant to benefit the people would eventually become policies that harmed them.
Being an emperor is too tiring!
Moreover, I work so hard and no one says anything good about it.
Of course, although Uncle Lu had no desire to be the emperor, he still hoped that the Li Tang royal family could firmly control the world.
The world is in chaos. Even if Uncle Lu has great martial arts skills, it is a luxury for him to live a peaceful life.
Unfortunately, things always make people feel a little depressed.
How come the prosperous Tang Dynasty suddenly became divided and divided?
Although Emperor Taizu once said that in the world, things that are divided for a long time will eventually come together, and things that are together for a long time will eventually divide.
But the dynasty before the Tang Dynasty lasted for more than 300 years. At that time, the people of the previous dynasty were in dire straits, with misfortunes and chaos, causing widespread resentment among the people, which led to many rebel armies rising up.
As for the Tang Dynasty, Uncle Lu said he couldn’t understand the current situation.
Watching Zhao Rui bringing the captured lurkers back to Old Xu's mansion, Uncle Lu thought for a moment and decided not to chase the people of Lingshui Village into the mountains, but to go meet someone.
Hidden King!
In the Tang Dynasty, every generation of emperors would designate one person as the hidden king at some point in time to ensure that the bloodline inheritance of the dynasty would not go astray.
And every generation of the Hidden King will meet with the Lu family who guard the dragon veins.
Now that the Tang Dynasty was on the verge of civil unrest, it seemed that all it needed was an opportunity. Uncle Lu planned to meet the Hidden King and ask for his opinion. Of course, Uncle Lu's desire to meet the Hidden King was not a whim, but because the people lurking here all had the mark of the Hidden King's lineage.
The lineage of the Hidden King has existed as wealthy men for generations. As long as the Tang Dynasty is not destroyed, they are only responsible for the inheritance of the incense.
But now, people from the Yin Wang lineage appeared outside Lingshui Village, which could not help but make Uncle Lu suspicious.
As for what will happen to the emperor in the capital, Uncle Lu is not interested in it.
From the moment the late emperor found the way to change his fate, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty had already embarked on the old path of the previous dynasty.
Even if such a royal family was destroyed, Uncle Lu would have no sympathy.
The fall of the previous dynasty was due to the path of disaster.
With such a precedent as a warning, the late emperor still colluded with the robbery sect and practiced those evil methods. Therefore, it is only natural that his sins should be punished upon him.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with a son paying for his father's debts.
When Zhao Rui started the interrogation again, Uncle Lu had already left Lingshui Village.
Even the King of Hidden's men would probably not be able to withstand the ruthless Zhao Rui.
