Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

The wind picked up, but the sound of the Jinsha River waves was still there in the night. Yongchang lay on the bed and moaned loudly.

"This disease should not be exposed to the public. Fortunately, the eldest son is usually in good health. I can prescribe a prescription and it will be cured after a few days of rest." The doctor put away the medicine box and prescribed some health-preserving prescriptions. Wan Zhao is "very good" to his eldest son, and this is the seventh wave of doctors he has sent.

"Thank you for your help." She shed tears in her eyes, and ordered someone to give her a pulse gift (diagnosis fee). Yongchang just groaned and seemed unable to hear the conversation between his wife and the doctor.

His confidant Lu Heier escorted the doctor out of the camp and returned soon.

"Then the doctor is gone?" Yongchang, who was lying in bed, asked in a deep voice, full of energy and no longer as sick as before.

"Let's go," Lu Heier replied respectfully, lowering his voice for a moment, "My eldest son, the Zhenxiong Long family and the Yongan She family have sent people here."

"Oh, how many people are here?" Yongchang raised his eyebrows and his eyes were as sharp as lightning.

Being struck by the gaze, Lu Heier felt a chill in his heart and replied in a low voice: "Two people are here, Long Tiancheng, the eldest son of Vice Envoy Long, and She Zhen, the third brother of She Xuanfushi."

"Only two people came? Invite them in." Yongchang lowered his tone and his sharp eyes disappeared. Long Tiancheng is the eldest son of Long Hongxun and the future head of the Zhenxiong Long family, and She Zhen is She Baoshou's only remaining brother. Their coming here shows that the Zhenxiong Long family and the Yongning She family attach great importance to Dongchuan. But the practical Lu Yongchang was more concerned about how much help they could give him. Hearing that only two people came, he couldn't help but look gloomy.

Long Tiancheng and She Zhen entered the secret room and found Yongchang already sitting in the main seat.

"Brother-in-law, your father must not hesitate to listen to An's slander, otherwise the lives of the whole family will be in danger", She Zhen shouted as soon as they met.

"What does brother want me to do? Is it possible to kill my father?" Yongchang smiled bitterly.

"Brother-in-law can take advantage of the opportunity to go to Dongchuan to discuss matters, raise troops to remove the An family, and put your father under house arrest. The Zhenxiong Long family and the Yongning She family are willing to fully support you." She Zhen finished speaking and glanced at Long Tiancheng.

"Yes, this time Uncle She and I have brought 600 warriors from Zhenxiong Long clan and Yongning She clan. They are all ambushing outside the camp. As long as you are in need, we are willing to obey the orders," Long Tiancheng said loudly.

Yongchang's eyes brightened. It was not impossible for these six hundred people, plus his own subordinates, to attack Dongchuan by surprise. Although he agreed in his heart, he said in his mouth: "If you betray your father with your son, you may not escape eternal infamy."

"You are confused! Lu Wanzhao rebelled against the Ming Dynasty first, which is disloyal; the Wei army is powerful, but he insists on serving the Manchus, which is unwise; ignoring the love between father and son, abolishing the elder and establishing the younger is unkind. If you are unfaithful, unwise and unkind, how can you have the face to be the lord of Dongchuan? What's more, the guard army is so powerful that Wu Sangui can't stop it. If you let his mantis arm act as a chariot, the Lu family of Dongchuan will perish. Can you bear the thought that the Lu family of Dongchuan will perish at your expense? The hand of my father? This is the greatest disrespect to our ancestors."

Seeing his brother-in-law stepping down for him, Yongchang finally nodded with difficulty and agreed, "In this case, I have no choice but to be unfilial."

"This time, you must bring your brother back. Even if he is seriously ill, you can carry him back for me." Wan Zhao coldly ordered his third son Lu Yongbang and fifth son Lu Yonggao. They and Lu Yongchang are brothers from the same father and mother, and they have a deep relationship with each other. They have greater confidence in calling their eldest son back.

"Yes, Ada (father)", the two brothers were suspicious when they saw their father urging their brother to come back again and again, but it was hard to disobey their father's orders, so they had no choice but to agree. The two came to the eldest brother's camp at the ferry on the east bank of the Jinsha River. They saw Yongchang and his two sons, Lu Yingzhong and Lu Yingyi, all fully armored. The native soldiers in the camp were all holding swords and filled with murderous intent. Their faces turned pale with horror.

"Brother, are you all cured of your illness?" Lu Yongbang asked in panic.

"I'm not sick, it's just that Ada listened to An's words and pushed her too hard, so she had to pretend to be sick," Yongchang said word by word.

"Brother, what are you talking about? How can you pretend to be sick and deceive Ada?" Lu Yonggao was furious.

"Lao Wu, if I go back to Dongchuan, will I still be alive?" Yongchang stared at Lu Yonggao and asked.

"This~" Lu Yonggao was stunned for a long time and then said: "Brother, don't worry, if you return to Dongchuan, my second brother, third brother and I will definitely ask father to protect you. At most, you will be punished by Ada."

"Hahaha~" Yongchang laughed wildly, "Fifth brother, don't try to trick me. Because I married a woman from the Yongning She family, Ada was afraid that people would misunderstand that Dongchuan Lule was involved in the rebellion between the Zhenxiong Long family and the Yongning She family, and was ready to annihilate him. Qing, hand me over to the Qing court. If I return to Dongchuan, how can I still be alive? Even if I save my life, I will never see the light of day again. Instead of living cowardly, it is better to die generously! Come on!" An order was given! , the ambush came out, and the two brothers were frightened to death.

"Brother, do you want to kill us two?" Lu Yongbang asked tremblingly.

"No. I just want to ask my third and fifth brothers to help me capture Dongchuan. For the sake of Amo (mother), you can't bear to see Brother Yu die miserably, right?" Yongchang drew his sword and sneered. The sword frost condenses the snow, cutting off the ruthlessness of the chieftain family.

In the early morning, the defenders of Dongcheng of Dongchuan Prefecture were yawning, and a long team came from outside the city.

"Who is it?" shouted the local official guarding the door. "You are an eye-opener. The eldest son has returned to Dongchuan on orders from the Tufu. Why don't you open the city gate quickly!" Lu Heier shouted.

"Young Master?" The local official looked down the city and saw Yongchang's majestic face. He also saw the third son Lu Yongbang and the fifth son Lu Yonggao also beside Lu Yonggao. He did not dare to say more and replied respectfully: "Please wait a moment, young masters. The younger one will attack the city immediately."

The heavy city gate slowly opened. As soon as he entered the city, Lu Yongchang's face was gloomy, "Why are you opening the city gate now? It's obviously a deliberate neglect. Come on, take it." Upon hearing the order, the eldest son Lu Yingzhong led a hundred native soldiers and rushed towards the native officials. The Lu family is the local emperor of Dongchuan, and the eldest son is like the crown prince of Dongchuan. How can the local official dare to resist? Obediently, Ren Lu Yingzhong tied himself up and recruited more than a hundred of his subordinates.

"Quick! Go to the Tufu Yamen!" Yongchang did not dare to delay at all and led his army to rush into the city. He only has 300 personal guards, plus the 600 warriors brought by Long Tiancheng and She Zhen, there are only 900 people. One hundred soldiers were left to guard the east gate, and only eight hundred soldiers were left. If the defenders in the city were allowed to react, it would be a big deal. You must fight the slow with the fast!
Lu Heier led the people to rush to the gate of Tufu, but was stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate. "Who dares to make noise in front of Tufu gate?"

"What an eye-opener! The eldest son has been ordered to return to Dongchuan, why don't you open the door to welcome him?"

"Young Master?" The local official guarding the door was stunned, and then he clenched his knife tightly. "Even if I am the First Young Master, I would not dare to open the door without the Master's order. Please wait a moment, Young Master, and I will ask the Master for instructions."

"No need, I ordered the eldest son to come in. This is a handwritten order." The second housekeeper, Lu Fu, suddenly appeared with a piece of paper and a dozen domestic slaves.

The native official carefully checked the "hand letter" and found that something was wrong. There was no chieftain's seal on it. Just as he was about to question, there was a flash of light and a sharp knife passed through his body. Lu Fu unexpectedly killed the gatekeeper and opened the door to welcome Yongchang, "Young Master, the master is in the backyard, come with me quickly!"

Yongchang nodded, "Lufu, if this comes to pass, you will no longer be Xixi (house slave), but my life and death brother, Lu Yongchang!"

"Thank you, eldest son!" Lu Fu cheered up and led everyone to the back hall to kill. When the local soldiers in the mansion saw that the eldest son was coming to kill him, most of them did not dare to stop him. Those who occasionally dared to stop him were cut down.

"Who dares to break into the backyard?" The chief manager Lu Zhong saw that the momentum was not right, so he stopped and asked.

"Whoosh!" A crossbow arrow hit Lu Zhong right in the face.

"Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed!" Yongchang put down his sleeve crossbow and said coldly.

The soldiers in the backyard were all personal guards, fighting desperately, but they were caught off guard and were cut down one by one.

The noise woke up Wan Zhao and An Shi who had already gone to bed. Wan Zhao hurriedly put on his clothes and patrolled, when he met Long Tiancheng and She Zhen, "I am Wan Zhao, the local magistrate of Dongchuan. Who are you?"

She Zhen said to Long Tiancheng: "This man is the father of Lu Yongchang. If he is spared, there may be trouble in the future. Today my nephew and I must help Lu Yongchang."

Long Tiancheng understood, and together with She Zhen, he held a knife to kill Lu Wanzhao. When he was young, Wan Zhao was also a fierce general, but now he was old, and the guards around him were killed and scattered. Not long after the battle, he was hacked to death with random knives.

When Lu Yongchang rushed in, he only saw the dead body of his old father, "Ada, the child is unfilial!" After all, he was his biological father, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"The sword has no eyes, and the sons and daughters don't know Master Delu. Please forgive me, brother-in-law. We must find An's mother and son as soon as possible," She Zhen urged.

Yongchang glared at his brother-in-law fiercely, "Why don't you recognize my father? It's obviously you who did it on purpose!" But now that the matter has come to this, there is no good solution, so we have to order people to search for An's mother and son.

Time passed moment by moment, and finally An and brothers Lu Yongming and Lu Yonghou were found in the back garden.

The usually aloof stepmother was already trembling with fear. Lu Yongming was feeling better. He bowed his hands and saluted Yongchang, "Brother, please for Ada's sake, let my mother and son go."

"If I let my mother and son go today, I'm afraid they won't let me go in the future." Yongchang sighed and left the back garden. As soon as the personal guards swarmed up, they cut An's mother and son into pieces in just a moment.

The thick smell of blood filled the air over Dongchuan Tufu. After successfully controlling the Tufu, Lu Yongchang killed or dismissed the disobedient Dongchuan generals and replaced them with his cronies to completely control Dongchuan. He knew that the Qing army would arrive soon, so he simply erected the Guards flag in Dongchuan and sent people to ask for help from the Guards. (End of chapter)
