Chapter 948: Confusion of right and wrong, a moment of life and death
Jiang Kun frowned and asked, "What is the Fifth Prince going to do?"

"The other party suffered heavy losses this time, and they will definitely suspect my eighth brother! I must help him clear the suspicion!"

Jiang Kun sighed and handed him the revolver hidden at his waist.

It was the first time for Li Zhen to use such a small and exquisite pistol, but he had seen it many times and knew how to use it.

He raised the muzzle of his gun, pointed it at Li Mu's back, and murmured, "Eighth brother, this is all I can do to help you! I hope you don't hate me!"

After saying that, he fired three shots in a row.

"Bang bang bang!!"

Only one of the three bullets hit Li Mu's right shoulder.

Li Mu let out a scream and fell heavily to the ground.

None of the surviving Daqian soldiers around him helped him up, they all just watched coldly.

In their minds, the heavy casualties this time were caused by Li Mu.

Just as Li Zhen was about to put away his gun, he saw Lu Zongqing and Tang Jingde approaching with 30,000 elite troops.

He deliberately fired two more shots, but did not hit Li Mu.

Lu Zongqing shouted: "Stop it!!"

Jiang Kun whispered, "Fifth Prince, this guy is most likely the Prince Qing. Do you want to take a gamble? Killing him will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Dragon Emperor of Daqian!"

Lu Zongqing's information has long been no secret, and the top leaders of the Daduan Divine Dynasty all know that he is the seventh prince of the Daqian Dragon Emperor.

Li Zhen slowly shook his head: "Forget it! We just used up a lot of ammunition, and we may not be able to gain any advantage if we really start fighting! Let's stop here!"

Jiang Kun responded, handed him over to the care of the soldiers around him, then mounted his horse and went to the river.

"Are you Lu Zongqing?"

Lu Zongqing narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who are you?"

"Jiang Kun, the governor of Jiangxia of the Great Duan Dynasty!"

"Oh! So you are Jiang Kun! I have heard of your name for a long time! Did Lin Yun send you here to massacre my Daqian people? Does he, Lin Yun, want to start a war between the two countries?"

Jiang Kun sneered, "War? Hasn't it already started? Your Great Qian Kingdom suddenly sent a hundred thousand troops to invade the land of our Great Duan Dynasty without even saying hello! I drove the invaders out of the country, so what's wrong with that?"

"Humph! That's nonsense! Guan Haiyue has already established the Dayun Dynasty. This is no longer your Daduan territory! Our Daqian Kingdom has stationed troops here with Guan Haiyue's consent! We are on guard against invaders like you!"

Lu Zongqing understood that his side must be right, even if he was not right, he had to make up a reason, otherwise he would not be able to take revenge, and he would not be able to give an explanation to the people.

"you!!"

Jiang Kun was furious and secretly cursed Lu Zongqing for confusing right and wrong. It was clearly an invasion and he was blatantly trying to split the Great Duan Dynasty.

But he just couldn't win the argument.

At this time, the seriously injured Li Zhen said weakly: "Lü Zongqing, we don't want to go to war with your country! But you must hand over my eighth brother! He betrayed Daduan and even betrayed my Li family. He should go back to face trial!"

"Bullshit! This general is telling you solemnly now that the Eighth Sage King Li Mu is a member of our Daqian Dynasty from now on! If you dare to plot an assassination against him again, our two countries will go to war directly! If Lin Yun has the guts, just give it a try!"

At this time, Tang Jingde suddenly grinned and said, "Li Zhen, right? Don't you want to get your eighth brother back? It's not impossible! How about exchanging the two cannons beside you?"

Tang Jingde was a strategist, not a general, let alone a prince, so he always thought about things from a strategic perspective.

What the Dayun Dynasty fears now is this heavy artillery.

If they can get it, take it back and disassemble it for study, they will probably be able to copy it soon, and then they won't have to worry about lack of firepower.

Li Zhen was stunned and started coughing violently.

"Hahaha!!"

"This is ridiculous! How could I exchange two precious cannons for a traitor? I captured him only to execute him and make him pay the price! Not to mention exchanging two cannons, even exchanging one bullet would be a waste to me!" Li Zhen risked his life this time, just to make a great contribution and win Lin Yun's smile.

As long as Lin Yun is happy, he will have a good life in the future.

Therefore, what he did this time was to deal with all this from the perspective of a loyal minister of the court.

Even Jiang Kun, who was standing by, looked at him with new eyes.

He secretly sighed that Li Zhen had indeed changed.

At this time, Lu Zongqing shouted: "Someone, bring Li Mu back!!"

Two soldiers immediately stepped forward, dragged the seriously injured Li Mu to Lu Zongqing's feet, and made him kneel on the ground with his hands behind his back.

Lu Zongqing smiled sinisterly and pointed the bamboo gun at his head.

"Eighth Sage King, please don't blame me for being cruel. Don't you want to avenge the Li family? If you die today, I swear to avenge your Li family!"

Li Mu had a blank expression on his face at this moment. He understood that he could do nothing now and could only leave everything to fate.

Whether he can survive depends on his fifth brother's attitude.

Of course, he understood that Lu Zongqing did not really want to kill him, but was making a final test.

After all, as long as he was alive, he would always be a huge threat to the Great Duan Dynasty, and would be a thorn in Lin Yun's heart.

At least that's what Lu Zongqing thought.

On the other side of the river, Li Zhen and Jiang Kun also became nervous when they saw this situation.

If Lu Zongqing really opened fire, Lin Yun's infiltration plan would have completely failed.

It also proves that it is almost impossible to penetrate into the enemy.

At least not in the short term.

Lu Zongqing joked, "Li Zhen, don't you want him to die? This general will grant your wish! Anyway, his value has been squeezed out by this general! There is no point in keeping such a useless person, and I have to take care of his food and drink!"

Li Zhen looked at him expressionlessly without any comment.

Jiang Kun also stared ahead and said calmly, "Fifth Prince, is he serious? Has he seen through your majesty's tricks?"

"Humph, just a trick!"

Then, Li Zhen laughed heartily: "Great! Then I'll have to trouble Prince Qing to take action! It can also be regarded as cleaning up the mess for my Great Duan Dynasty and the Li family! Thank you in advance!"

In that instant, he and Li Mu looked at each other.

Their hearts were filled with bitterness and resentment.

It's just like the saying goes, once you enter the world, you have no choice.

Although they are in different positions, they are all loyal to the Great Duan Dynasty.

Even though he might not be truly loyal to Lin Yun, he did not want to see the Great Duan Dynasty being divided and devoured by foreign countries.

When the country was destroyed and the family was ruined, they all defended the land of their birth in their own way.

Li Mu showed a relieved smile, slowly closed his eyes, and waited for the final moment.

The corners of Li Zhen's eyes trembled slightly. He didn't dare to blink, for fear that his eighth brother would die in the next moment.

Lu Zongqing's expression was uncertain. He and Tang Jingde were observing the reactions of Li Zhen and Jiang Kun.

They can catch even the slightest clue.
