Chapter 198: The Man Who Must Die
He Linwan saw the visitor clearly and hurriedly shouted: "Stop!"
The person who attacked the sneak attack was stunned when he heard this, but the knife still did not contain the force and slashed straight down, and Li Yu caught it firmly with one hand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The sneak attacker threw the knife with a miss, and then ripped He Linwan away, blocking himself between Li Yu and He Linwan, and his beast-like eyes glared at Li Yu viciously.
He Linwan sighed and patted the back of the little beast's previously injured neck, the little beast's body stiffened in pain, but he still gritted his teeth and tightened his face, while impatiently pushing He Linwan back, but his eyes were still nailed to Li Yu vigilantly.
He Linwan couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, your neck is blue, don't be reckless." ”
Li Yu looked at the young man in front of him with interest, who was only up to his shoulders, but he couldn't wait to puff up like a frog to make himself appear taller: "This is your brother?"
Xiaohuzi has been kept in the inner courtyard when he was in the capital, so this is the first time he and Li Yu have met.
"The big name is He Yin, and the little name is Little Huzi. He Linwan nodded helplessly, grabbed Xiaohuzi's ears and pulled him back, "Don't stare at it! go, go back and let me see the injury." ”
Xiaohuzi looked at He Linwan in a daze, and after coming back to his senses, he saw the smile on the corner of the mouth of the imaginary enemy Li Yu, the little boy's face turned red, and he hurriedly wanted to break free from He Linwan's clutches, but he couldn't break free if he didn't want to.
He Lin let go of most of his heart when he saw him lively, but he deliberately asked him with a straight face: "Will you be obedient next time?"
Xiaohuzi stared at He Linwan with a stalk on his neck, looking uncompromising.
He Linwan pinched his ears: "Ask again, do you want to be obedient?"
Xiaohuzi's face was so red that he was about to drip blood, and he secretly glanced at Li Yu.
Li Yuqing coughed, turned sideways with a smile and pretended not to see it.
Xiaohuzi took advantage of Li Yu's lack of seeing it and immediately nodded at He Linwan, pointed to her hand and motioned for her to let go of his ears.
He Linwan let him go.
As soon as Xiaohuzi was free, he turned around and wanted to run, for fear of being pulled by He Linwan's ears again, but he just ran a few steps and looked back at Li Yu uneasily, and then glanced at He Linwan.
When He Linwan saw his movements, he smiled helplessly, but his tone softened: "He's not with that gang, you go back to protect your mother first, don't let her be frightened." ”
Xiaohuzi was relieved at this time, nodded at He Linwan, puffed up his chest and patted it, and then ran to find Wei's in a hurry.
He Linwan waited for him to run away before he said funny: "What a little tiger who doesn't know the height of the sky." ”
Turning his head to see that Li Yu was still standing in place and looking at him, He Linwan said, "You still don't leave?"
"Yes, I'm leaving. Li Yu smiled slightly, turned around and left.
He Linwan saw that he was leaving in the wrong direction, and immediately stopped him: "Wait, you still want to go back?"
Li Yu turned around and said gently: "The fifth prince is still in their hands, so I naturally want to go back." ”
He Lin thought for a while, and suddenly understood what Li Yu was going to do, and couldn't help frowning: "Why do you take the risk? If your identity is discovered, have you ever thought about the end?"
Li Yu thought for a while and said lightly: "No matter how Li Zheng is, he is also a member of the Li family, if he dies, he will die, but I can't let him be humiliated at the hands of a group of thieves." ”
He Linwan pursed her lips and didn't speak, she knew that Li Yu would definitely be extremely risky to go, but she didn't have a position to persuade him not to go, and she didn't want to persuade him.
Li Yu's words clearly understood that he was a member of the Li family, and the honor of the Li royal family was more important than his life in his heart.
Li Yu smiled at He Linwan and said, "Don't worry, I will come back." I have one more thing to tell you. ”
He Linwan asked, "What can't be said now? What if you can't come back?"
Li Yu looked helpless when he heard this: "That matter is not clear for a while, and there are some things that I need to further determine." ”
Hearing Li Yu say this, He Linwan understood that this should be a very important matter, and she wanted to ask again, but suddenly heard that someone was coming here, and there were quite a few people coming.
Li Yu also heard the movement, glanced back, and frowned slightly.
"Wait for me to come back" Li Yu said to He Linwan, and then turned around and left.
After Li Yu's figure disappeared, He Linwan stayed in the courtyard for a while, and it didn't take long for a group of people to come over, and the leader was Xue Xingyi with a cold face.
Xue Xingyi was still wearing the same black robe as he was yesterday, and his hair was still a little messy if he looked closely, obviously he didn't sleep all night, and hurried back after receiving the news of the disappearance of the fifth prince.
Xue Xingyi stopped when he saw He Lin in the evening, nodded and said, "Miss He, is she okay?"
He Linwan bowed: "I'm fine, it's just that my maid can't wake up for some reason, and I just want to call someone to come and see." ”
Xue Xingyi walked into the courtyard and stood in front of He Linwan: "Miss He has been sleeping before?"
He Linwan nodded.
Xue Xingyi glanced at He Linwan for a few moments, and asked lightly, "Did Miss He hear anything last night?"
He Linwan smiled and shook his head: "No." ”
Xue Xingyi stared at He Lin for a while, and then ordered a group of guards behind him without looking back: "You search around first, search carefully, Your Highness may still be somewhere in the garden." ”
After the guards received the order, Xue Xingyi looked at He Linwan with a bit of certainty in his tone: "Do you know where His Highness is?"
He Lin saw that there were only the two of them here, and his face turned cold: "Lord Xue said with a smile, how can I know where His Highness is! I'm not a god operator!"
Xue Xingyi looked at the garden, and suddenly walked quickly to an inconspicuous corner and picked up an arrow from the ground.
Xue Xingyi took the arrow in his hand and looked at it carefully, touched the arrow with his hand, and finally walked over and put the arrow under He Linwan's eyes: "Miss He, is this your He family's thing?"
He Linwan looked at the congratulatory word engraved at the end of the arrow, and said without changing his face: "Yes, it may have fallen when my brother was practicing archery." ”
Xue Xingyi's narrow eyes narrowed slightly: "Miss He, the stakes are very high, if you know the whereabouts of the Fifth Highness, please let me know." ”
He Linwan glanced at Xue Xingyi, and seemed to be very eloquent: "Since this is the case, then I'll think about it carefully." ”
He Linwan seemed to think for a moment, and then shook his head regretfully: "I'm sorry, Lord Xue, although the stakes are very high, I really want to help, but I really can't think of anything useful." Why don't you look somewhere else?"
If others were tricked by He Linwan like this, they would inevitably be annoyed and angry, but after Xue Xingyi thought about it, he said, "Are you trying to drag me down?"
He Linwan was surprised: "Why did Lord Xue say this?"
Xue Xingyi played with the arrow in his hand, and said in a light tone: "With your meticulousness, you shouldn't have left such obvious evidence to lead me to suspicion." You're just trying to hold me back. ”
Xue Xingyi didn't seem to care about He Linwan's answer, and then asked, "Why?"
He Linwan was unmoved: "What why?"
Xue Xingyi was silent for a while, as if thinking about something, and after a while, he looked around and asked, "Has Li Yu been here?"
He Linwan simply stopped talking.
Xue Xingyi said suddenly: "I just met a ...... person"
He Linwan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know why Xue Xingyi suddenly turned the topic here, he waited for Xue Xingyi's next words, but Xue Xingyi was only silent for a while, and then shook his head: "Forget it, it's nothing." ”
He Linwan felt that today's Xue Xingyi was a little inexplicable.
When she raised her eyes again, Xue Xingyi's expression had returned to her previous cold and indifferent, she glanced at the boots on He Linwan's feet and said lightly: "It turned out that I went to the back mountain." ”
The upper of He Linwan's boots was slightly wet, and there were some grass clippings and red mud on the bottom.
Xue Xingyi nodded at He Linwan: "Miss He, please, I'll take the first step." ”
He Linwan didn't stop Xue Xingyi again, and Li Yu should have left after a while.
But when Xue Xingyi walked to the door, he paused, turned back to He Linwan and said, "Miss He will stay away from Li Yu in the future." ”
He Linwan raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
Xue Xingyi's tone did not fluctuate: "A person who is going to die is not worthy of your friendship." ”
This sentence seemed to arouse He Linwan's interest, and she asked with some curiosity, "Oh, why is Lord Xue so sure that he is a mortal person?"
Xue Xingyi's tone was indifferent and cold: "Yingfu guards the heart, and it is not an ominous life." If he does not die, the world will be in turmoil. ”
When He Linwan heard this, he smiled "poof", and looked at Xue Xingyi's gaze, He Linwan smiled and said, "It turns out that Lord Xue actually believes in his fate?
Xue Xingyi was slightly stunned when he heard this.
The smile on He Linwan's face gradually faded: "No one in this world is born to die! Everything has a way, do it according to your heart, follow the trend, and follow the way of luck is to follow the way of heaven! Spring goes to winter, the moon rises and the moon sets, the stars change, and the vicissitudes of the sea are all the reincarnations of heaven, why do you think that what you are doing is the noble thing to set things right?"
Xue Xingyi was silent for a moment, and finally said nothing and turned to leave.
He Linwan took a deep breath, and then turned away without hesitation.
He Linwan went to see Wei's first, He Linwan was vigilant when he found Sixteen Niang, and immediately made an excuse for Wei to take Xiaohuzi to find a familiar lady to live with, Wei's trusted his daughter very much, and left without saying a word, but she thought He Linwan was going with her, and she didn't expect He Linwan to come back secretly.
And Xiaohuzi, the kid, looks stupid and extremely easy to deceive on weekdays, but he has an extremely keen intuition of beasts, and as soon as He Lin left with his front foot at night, he secretly followed back with his back foot.
Fortunately, Xiaohuzi was not stupid, he didn't show anything in front of Wei, and the blue and black on the back of his neck was also covered by him with his hair, so when He Lin went to look for Wei, Wei didn't know anything about what happened at night. (To be continued.) )
