Chapter 96: General Xia's protégé

"It's me who saw the wrong person." Lu Zhiyao looked around for a long time, and his mood slowly stabilized. Disappointed, Lu Zhiyao smiled reluctantly and said, "Let's go back." ”

Yudie looked at Lu Zhiyao's strange face and was puzzled. After accompanying Lu Zhiyao back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he didn't see Lu Zhiyao getting better, but he just locked himself in the room and ordered no one to go in.

Lu Zhiyao sat in the room, thinking about the person he had just seen, and the bottom of his heart, which had been as silent as a stagnant water, had irrepressibly made waves. Is it really him? If so, then dad and eldest brother, are they all the same, not dead?

The nervousness and the sense of hope that arose for a moment alternately jumped in Lu Zhiyao's heart, making her unable to calm down. Maybe it's just a person who looks like her, but she still can't give up.

Since this incident happened, Lu Zhiyao has been running outside the Prime Minister's Mansion without incident. This is true during the day, and it is no different at night. Xuanyue and Yudie, who knew all this, began to worry about her, and they didn't know who she was looking for.

Half a month passed quickly in Lu Zhiyao's search. Most of the time she was circling around Jiang Wei's mansion, and after being disappointed again and again, when Lu Zhiyao saw the person she had been looking forward to for a long time, her mind was blank, and she reflexively followed.

It was late at night, and Lu Zhiyao sneaked into Jiang Wei's mansion with the man. Staring at every subtle movement of the man, Lu Zhiyao's heart sank suddenly when he saw him slowly draw his sword, and he quickly moved forward to block his way.

Bai Lixuan looked at the strange woman in front of him, and immediately felt murderous intent. Lu Zhiyao's right arm was injured, and he had no way to fight him, so he could only dodge left and right, and then pick the right time, his figure flashed, and he stood in front of him again.

Lu Zhiyao held back the excitement in his heart, looked at Bai Lixuan intently, and whispered: "Lan Ruoyan is around here, Brother Bai, you can't do it." ”

Bai Lixuan frowned after hearing Lu Zhiyao's words. Looking at her suspiciously, Bai Lixuan was very wary of this woman who suddenly appeared.

"It's not safe here, go out and talk." Lu Zhiyao looked left and right at where she was, and she knew that Lan Ruoya had been guarding Jiang Wei's side with so many people recently, and it would not be without reason. It seems that Bai Lixuan is still alive, and she is not the only one who has noticed it.

Bai Lixuan followed Lu Zhiyao out of Jiang Wei's mansion in disbelief, and after arriving at a remote territory, Bai Lixuan spoke coldly and asked, "Who are you?" Know me? ”

Lu Zhiyao opened his mouth and swallowed the words that had already reached his mouth. Nodding, she said with a smile: "Of course I know, you are General Xia's protégé." ”

After Bai Lixuan listened to Lu Zhiyao's words, a trace of killing intent instantly crossed his eyes. Lu Zhiyao dodged his fatal blow a little embarrassed, looked at the murderous Bai Lixuan nervously, and explained: "I've been looking for you for a long time, you believe me, I can help you take revenge!" ”

"Who the hell are you?!" Bai Lixuan's brows furrowed, full of doubts and hostility towards this woman who knew her identity well and knew martial arts. Listening carefully to the wind and grass nearby, Bai Lixuan was afraid that if he was not careful, he would fall into the trap of the government.

Lu Zhiyao couldn't tell him his true identity, let alone say that he was the prime minister's daughter. Because once she said it, she thought that Bai Lixuan would definitely not listen to her second sentence again, and immediately turned around and left. After all, she is now the fiancée of the Eighth Prince.

Lu Zhiyao gritted his teeth, and in desperation, he said softly: "I have been entrusted by Miss Xia to investigate the matter of the city. I happened to see you on the street a few days ago, I thought I was mistaken, but I didn't feel at ease, so I could only wander around Jiang Wei's dog thief's house day and night. I didn't expect to see you again. ”

"Miss Xia?" Bai Lixuan repeated, and then smiled coldly. "How is she doing now? What else did the Seventh Imperial Concubine tell you? Did she say that if she found that there were other people in her Xia family who were alive, she would order you to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots immediately, so as to prevent future troubles?! ”

Bai Lixuan's words made Lu Zhiyao's body stiffen, and she didn't understand what he meant by these words. Looking at the mocking expression on Bai Lixuan's face, Lu Zhiyao's heart became a mess.

"Big Brother White...... What does this mean? Lu Zhiyao pulled the corners of his mouth hard and asked hesitantly.

"What do you mean?" Bai Lixuan snorted coldly, looked at Lu Zhiyao sharply, and asked rhetorically: "What, didn't the Seventh Imperial Concubine tell you the truth?" ”

Bai Lixuan took a bite of the Seven Imperial Concubines, and the irony between the words, Lu Zhiyao couldn't hear it. There was some tightness in my chest and some difficulty breathing. Lu Zhiyao took a deep breath, looked at Bai Lixuan with a firm expression, and said, "Brother Bai, I don't know what you mean by this, and I can't ask Xia Yao." Because, she's dead. ”

"Dead? Yes, aren't there a lot of people who say she's dead? But how could the Seventh Prince be willing to kill her, she was the hero who helped the Seventh Prince destroy the Xia family, and she contributed a lot. You say this, thinking I'm going to believe it? ”

Bai Lixuan's words were like sharp blades, and the knife stabbed Lu Zhiyao's heart. Lowering her eyes, she couldn't explain anything, because she knew that if she hadn't insisted on marrying Lin Yixiang, things really wouldn't have developed to that point.

"I'm telling the truth, she's really dead." Lu Zhiyao repeated word by word, "Dead." ”

Bai Lixuan's expression changed abruptly the moment after Lu Zhiyao said that Xia Yao was dead. "Dead? Didn't the Seven Princes hide her? ”

"You believe that." Lu Zhiyao laughed self-deprecatingly, remembering the gossip she had also heard, what the Seventh Prince took pity on the jade, couldn't bear to hand over Xia Yao to death, had arranged for Xia Yao to secretly leave the capital, etc., she only felt funny and pathetic.

If he, Lin Yixiang, was to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, if he had even a trace of affection for her in his heart, he would not kill her whole family on the day of the wedding, and then tell her that the adultery between him and Liu Yiyu would throw her into those rogues!

"Xia Yao has long been dead, and on the day she became the Seventh Imperial Concubine, she was killed by the Seventh Imperial Prince. This is what I saw with my own eyes, and there will be no fake. Since you survived, you have returned to the capital for so many days. If Xia Yao was really alive, you wouldn't be able to find clues, wouldn't you? Brother Bai, I have no reason to lie to you, I have been looking for you for so many days, I just want to ask, General Xia...... Still alive? ”

Bai Lixuan didn't answer Lu Zhiyao's question, but Lu Zhiyao got the answer in his eyes.

Sure enough, everything was just a luxury.

Lu Zhiyao's nose was a little sour, and he lowered his shoulders with a lonely expression, Lu Zhiyao took two steps forward, leaned against the wall a little weakly, and stopped making a sound.

"What proof do you have that she's dead?" Bai Lixuan looked at Lu Zhiyao silently for a while, and couldn't help but ask.

Lu Zhiyao raised her eyes to look at Bai Lixuan, and she couldn't tell how she turned around before the ghost gate closed. Even if her current identity is no longer Xia Yao. However, she still couldn't say that Xia Yao was ruined by someone.

"No matter how carefully Lin Yixiang does it, there will still be things that are missed. Xia Yao's death, I am not the only one who knows the truth of the Dao. Lan Ruoya is one of them, you can find a way to check it yourself. Regarding Jiang Wei, I have been staring at him for a long time. When he returned to the capital this time, he had already thought that someone would attack him. So whether it was himself or the prince's side, they tried their best to protect his safety. It's not the best policy to do it to him now. ”

Lu Zhiyao told Bai Lixuan everything he could tell as much as he could. Bai Lixuan listened to her words, and still had countless doubts about this woman who unexpectedly appeared in front of him and said that she wanted to help her avenge.

"Are you the only one who escaped? Where do you live now, and is it safe? Do you want me to help you find a place? After Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, he looked at Bai Lixuan, who was indifferent, and asked uneasily.

Bai Lixuan hesitated for a moment and shook his head. "It's not just me."

Lu Zhiyao's eyes widened with joy, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Who else?" Brother Liu? ”

"You seem to know us well?"

The smile on Lu Zhiyao's face froze for a moment, and he looked at Bai Lixuan, Lu Zhiyao thought about it, and could only answer: "I just have a good relationship with Xia Yao, and I also heard about your affairs from her." ”

Xia Yao is dead, no matter what Lu Zhiyao says now, there is no proof of death. "It's too late today, tomorrow, you come here and wait for me, and I'll bring you some silver taels."

Bai Lixuan was silent for a moment, nodded, and said "Okay". Seeing Lu Zhiyao leave, Bai Lixuan stood in place for a while, and after she was completely gone, she turned around and headed in the direction of Jiang's mansion.

Cautiously searched around the mansion, Bai Lixuan saw Lan Ruoyan and a few people in a very inconspicuous place. Bai Lixuan's eyes sank, and he muttered "strange woman", and then turned back to their hiding place.

Pushing open the door, Bai Lixuan looked at the two people in the room and sighed lightly.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xisheng was sitting sideways on the edge of the bed wiping the sword, and when he saw Bai Lixuan's appearance, he stopped what he was doing, walked to the table and sat down with him.

Bai Lixuan drank a cup of herbal tea, receiving the inquiring gaze of Liu Xisheng and Qingling, he recalled every word Lu Zhiyao and himself said, slowly spoke, and said in a low voice: "Miss, it's really dead." ”

Liu Xisheng and Qingling were stunned, and their eyes flashed with sadness. Even if there was resentment in their hearts, they couldn't deny that Xia Yao was the last glimmer of hope in their hearts. They hated her for betraying the Xia family, but they also hoped that she was still alive in this world, so that they would have the opportunity to listen to her, all of this was not what they thought.

"Dead ......" Liu Xisheng closed his eyes in despair, leaned his head on the back of the chair, and smiled bitterly, as if asking himself and the other two people around him, "Then what does it mean for us to live." ”
