Lu Shihao laughed: "Just now I asked someone to make a pot of tea for the two adults, this tea will not be too hot to drink, let alone too cold to drink, you can talk while drinking." "Saying that, the maid who was driven away just now walked in from outside, trembling and holding a teapot, Lu Shihao whispered two words in her ear, and the maid nodded, and walked over to pour tea for Zhao Tong and Wang Liefeng.

There are three cups left. Wang Liefeng has a cup and Zhao Tong has a cup. Another cup shattered.

Lu Shihao walked over, knelt in front of Zhao Li, and picked up the pieces of the teacup with his hands.

"Be careful, Your Royal Highness King Shen, don't hurt yourself. Lu Shihagi grinned, "If you are injured, I can't afford this cheap life." ”

Wrong.

Wang Liefeng heard a hint of instability in Lu Shihao's tone.

Not to his flattery and humility. Flatteries have almost become his usual trick.

But he hardly usually speaks in such a "tone".

Whatever he says, it is full of confidence, all of which is peaceful, a false pleasure that has been stripped of all emotions.

Such an abnormality, Zhao Tong must have heard it.

Zhao Yan looked at him coldly and asked, "What's wrong?"

When an anomaly is discovered, the best thing to do is to admit the "anomaly" rather than the "thing" in order to achieve an emotional counteract that, if done well, can still be hidden in many cases. Under such circumstances, Lu Shihagi knew that he could not easily disclose information, even if it was necessary to tell the truth, but Wang Liefeng should not be the first to know, so he decided to coax the two of them together.

So Lu Shihao smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Shen is really discerning. The reason why I was a step late was because something happened in the house and I had to deal with it, so I missed the hour. ”

Zhao Tong said: "Say." ”

Lu Shihao smiled and nodded, "Yes." Ah, General Wang is here, is it convenient?"

"Of course, General Wang is not an outsider. Zhao Lifeng's eyes were slightly raised, and he turned his head to look at Wang Liefeng, the smile in his eyes was gloomy and terrifying, "We still have some family matters, we need to talk about it." ”

"Is that so? That's good. Lu Shihao smiled and lowered his head slightly, and took out a brand-new letter from the placket of his clothes, which was sealed with wax, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that the Prime Minister suddenly had an urgent matter to look for, and sent someone to bring a letter over, and he had to accept it in person before he stopped, and even I didn't trust it." I've been entangled with him for a long time, so I can talk about it, I finally left something behind and sent people away, this letter is now on me, does His Royal Highness King Shen want to open the seal in person, or will I read it to you?"

This matter is true, but it was still late at night, and His Royal Highness King Shen had indeed not returned, and he had put aside the matter of the letter for the time being because of this inconsequential matter. Very good, very effective, a seemingly urgent and difficult to refuse thing, in fact, it has no effect, it will only delay time, and it is not his fault - so he saw that His Royal Highness King Shen's expression calmed down, and his whole person relaxed all of a sudden, but he was still silent on the surface.

Zhao Yan smiled, spun the cup, looked at the tea leaves floating at the bottom of the cup, and said, "No need." Prime Minister Zhang is really an impatient, he thinks he knows, I won't know? I already knew. He knows less than I do. ”

Lu Shihagi understood and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Shen is really omniscient, strategizing, and winning a thousand miles." Then I will put this letter on the table for the time being, and I will read it when His Royal Highness King Shen and General Wang finish talking about things, and then I will read it when I have time. As he stepped back, he said, "The two adults talked first, and the younger one retired first." ”

Zhao Yan lowered his head to drink tea, without saying a word, Lu Shihagi carefully put the envelope on the table, and just turned around to leave, Wang Liefeng walked straight over, grabbed his wrist, and firmly nailed his hand to the spot like a pair of pliers, Lu Shihagi's hand loosened slightly, Wang Liefeng's other hand grabbed it, and snatched the letter.

Lu Shihagi looked up at Wang Liefeng calmly: "If General Wang wants to see it, he will directly tell His Royal Highness King Shen, why bother to rob it?"

Wang Liefeng said coldly: "Prime Minister Zhang didn't know about my existence from beginning to end, and his idea of getting rid of me has never changed. You want me to be your companion, but you don't have the slightest sincerity in your actions, and you just want to get rid of me after you've used me. ”

At this time, Zhao Yan smiled and said leisurely in the distance: "General Wang has been very impatient recently. Because I was worried about being betrayed, I betrayed me first, as if that would change the situation. Did General Wang not catch anyone, or did he deliberately want to let him go at all? General Wang, do you know how shocked, sad, and disappointed I was when I learned that you rescued Zhao Ji?"

He took a sip of tea, swallowed it flatly, his long eyelashes trembled lightly and opened his eyes slightly, it was a lazy look, "General Wang, I asked you to protect my brother and not let him die, you have done a good job in this, I am very satisfied, and I believe that you can definitely complete the whole plan successfully." But what happened in the end? I hope you can stay there, and when I send someone to rescue you, will you not be able to trust me? Why did you take Zhao Ji and run out?"

"Wait?" Wang Liefeng sneered, "Your Royal Highness King Shen, do you know what kind of Shura field the Heavenly Prison is? Do you know that there is no return? His Royal Highness King Duan doesn't know any martial arts, let him wait there, who can guarantee that he will be fine?"

Zhao Yan said with a smile: "Isn't there still General Wang, who is fighting on the battlefield, thousands of troops and horses can defeat him, and he can still pick up a life under the trampling of war horses, how can he be afraid of a few starving ghosts in this prison." Or, General Wang, from the very beginning you didn't think about cooperating with me, but just to paralyze me?

"I tried my best to cooperate. Wang Liefeng said slowly, "However, bringing imperial equipment is not something I can deal with. ”

Zhao Yan was obviously stunned: "With the imperial equipment, which one is it? is that child, impermanence...... Is it?"

Wang Liefeng laughed softly: "Is it possible, His Royal Highness King Shen, impermanence is connected to the emperor, as long as a strenuous exercise will consume life, you have also seen the situation at that time, do you think the queen mother will allow impermanence to run around?"

This point was beyond Zhao Yan's cognition, so he suddenly felt a little panicked - this group of people who came and went without a trace were also involved in this incident; the impermanence of a little ghost is annoying enough, as long as he doesn't die, Zhao Xu won't be able to die for a while, it's really a big delay; who would have thought that there would be another person!

- Yes, too. The duty of the imperial instrument is to protect the emperor.

Wang Liefeng said slowly: "As far as I know, it is Su Can with the imperial weapon. ”

Zhao Li's face changed in an instant.

An imperceptible smile appeared on Wang Liefeng's face. Su Can's name is well-known, enough to scare people's souls.

Zhao Tong also controlled himself for a long time, finally calmed down, gently knocked the teacup on the table, and said, "General Wang - I did say that I would send someone to take you away, after all, it is a general who protects the family and defends the country, you can't do it without you, even if I don't make a move, the Queen Mother will definitely ask someone to let you out, she is just angry for a while." The Queen Mother loves you so much, how can she bear to let you die, General Wang. However, from beginning to end, I never said that I would rescue Zhao Ji. ”

Wang Liefeng looked at him.

Feeling Wang Liefeng's eyes, Zhao Yan didn't look at each other, but said lazily: "Are you suspicious? I never say big things, General Wang, think about it again, what did I say at the time?" Ah, Lu Shihagi, do you remember?"

Lu Shi pursed his lips and nodded with a smile: "Little remember." His Royal Highness King Shen said at the time that if he lasted long enough, General Wang Da would be released from the prison on bail at that time, and before that, all things would be arranged for General Wang Da. ”

Wang Liefeng smiled sarcastically: "That's really annoying His Royal Highness King Shen, who arranged all my funeral affairs and gave a few taels of silver to the people in my family as compensation, I am really grateful." ”

"There is a case for everything, I just did this just in case, is this also wrong?" Zhao Yan said, "Ah, General Wang has returned home? Yes, I was still busy going back to Bianjing once, and I should go home and see." Is Lord Lingzun okay?"

"Very well, His Royal Highness King Toshen is still alive and well as before. Wang Liefeng said coldly.

Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "That's good, it's not worse." ”

"His Royal Highness King Shen," Wang Liefeng said, "Do you really think that I am looking forward to my father's condition getting better?"

Zhao Yan heard his abnormality and said, "Don't you think so?"

"Nope. Wang Liefeng's tone seemed to have given up struggling, and because of this desperation, his voice became cold and hard, and there was a faint sadness in the coldness, "His Royal Highness King Shen, continuing my father's life is just to make me feel no guilt in my heart, not to mention that all the civil and military officials are concerned about the situation of General Wang Sunsin, so I have no reason to give up on him." I always want people to forget about him. I know he's in pain. Therefore, His Royal Highness King Shen, if you want to threaten me with my father's life, I am afraid that you will not be able to succeed. ”

"Ha......" Zhao Tong laughed, "I really didn't expect this, General Wang is really beyond my imagination, at this point." ”

"Isn't it, His Royal Highness King Shen. Lu Shihagi's hand was pressed against the table by Wang Liefeng, and his voice attracted Zhao Li's attention, and he said it lightly, as if nothing happened, "General Wang has always been an assertive person, and the fate of an entire forbidden army is often determined by his fleeting thoughts, and there are many decisions to make, and sometimes it is inevitable to be rigid and conceited." ”

Wang Liefeng said: "The person who is conceited and conceited shouldn't be me, right?"

"If it weren't for you," Lu Shihagi said, "then who is the person who has no choice but to come here to plead with His Royal Highness King Shen in person?"

Wang Liefeng was bored of hearing this, and said angrily: "I don't need to reason with people who break principles, right?"

"Ouch. Lu Shihagi shrank back, "It's so fierce, General Wang." ”

Zhao Yan smiled and said: "Don't be angry, General Wang, you are very adamant about your point of view, but we have no way of knowing who is among us who is the first to break the principle." Order doesn't determine right or wrong, you and I don't follow the routine. It's just that I've thought about many reasons, but I still can't think of a reason for you to let Zhao Ji go. ”

Wang Liefeng said: "I have no reason to betray His Royal Highness King Duan. ”

"But he doesn't believe you anymore, you know? He knows that you have a relationship with me, and from now on you and I will be all the way in his mind. ”

"I know. From the moment I let His Royal Highness Duan Wang go, he will gradually realize that this is a conspiracy. Wang Liefeng said in a low voice, "But whether he believes me or not has nothing to do with me not living up to him." He had to go out in order to continue to live. ”

Zhao Yan sneered: "At this time, we are talking about loyalty again, General Wang, but, don't you know, the reason why your father became like this has a lot to do with the Lord Liu that my brother tried so hard to rescue from the prison." ”

Wang Liefeng trembled in shock, he suddenly raised his head and said dumbly, "What?"

"Liu Anshi, right?" Zhao Yan asked hypocritically, "He, in the last battle of General Chongpu, he was a very crucial link. He insisted that the forbidden army go on the expedition, even if it was completely annihilated, because that army was a pawn ready to be abandoned from the beginning. General Chongpu, you know, right? General Wang Biao back then was still under his jurisdiction. These things were told to me by Prime Minister Zhang when he was drunk, but I whispered to you, General Wang. ”

Wang Liefeng gritted his teeth and said, "What evidence do you have?"

"Yes, evidence in everything. That's right. Lu Shihagi-" Zhao Yan called gently, as if he just wanted him to make a cup of tea—when he asked him to make tea just now, he was much more fierce.

There is no normal expression of emotions in Zhao Li. He's an anomaly.

So when he said he wanted "evidence", he didn't know what he would come up with.

Lu Shihagi laughed silently, and he looked at Wang Liefeng from the bottom up with a pleading gaze - this is a woman's demeanor when she is coquettish, but it seems very natural when Lu Shihagi makes it - he said solemnly: "General Wang, can you raise your noble hand and let me open this letter?" I've tried all the uncomfortable positions, but you can only move one hand like this, how can you open this letter?"

Indeed it is. It takes two hands to open a letter. But Wang Liefeng ignored him.

Wang Liefeng held the corner of the letter in one hand, handed the letter to the corner of his mouth, directly tore the letter open with his teeth, and shook the contents - the envelope fell to the ground, and a white paper inside was unfolded, Lu Shihagi was stunned for a moment, Wang Liefeng jerked his hand suddenly, he staggered back a few steps, and his pinched wrist was still faintly painful. He lowered his head, his expression blurred, but his peripheral vision glanced at Wang Liefeng again because he was trembling slightly.

Lu Shihagi knew what was written on the paper - it was just a routine in the palace this month, one copy for Zhang Dian and one copy for Zhao Li, so His Royal Highness King Shen could be regarded as understanding the major and minor affairs in the palace. And it also includes Wang Liefeng's affairs - Wang Liefeng's father Wang Shunchen's affairs. The palace will send some medicine to Wang Liefeng's mansion every month, saying that it is to be given to Wang Bijiang, hoping that he will wake up as soon as possible. Although it has no effect, after all, it is considered a great imperial grace, and it must be used if it is not used, but after using it, Wang Sunchen is even weaker. Zhao Tong later found Wang Liefeng and offered to save his father, at least the medicine given would have some effect - it wouldn't get worse, but it could be considered effective.

But what Wang Liefeng saw was too cruel. He also understood the reasonableness of Wang Liefeng's possible next behavior: what he had insisted on for many years, he found out in an instant that it was just a scam, which meant the collapse of faith.

"—His Royal Highness King Shen," Wang Liefeng lowered his head, his fingertips trembling, "has this matter started since my father was sent back......? Today's people, I don't know, but it turns out that at that time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were not looking forward to my father's recovery, not even his well-being, but his father, he—" He crumpled the paper all at once, fell to the ground, breathed heavily, and trembled, "Father could have woken up with his own strength, but every time the medicine sent over was a deadly poison, he was simply looking forward to his death!"

Zhao Yan sighed lightly: "After all, General Wang Bi has carried too many secrets, and there are always people who want to kill him." If a person accidentally breaks into a chaotic situation, and there is no interest involved, the best way is to kill him, in various ways. Whether it was the previous dispatch to the mortal war, or the unforgiving framing afterwards, it was everything that everyone knew but did not say. ”

Wang Liefeng's blood was cold, he was silent for a long time, and said, "What is written on this piece of paper, but is it true?"

Zhao Yan smiled and said: "You should always recognize Prime Minister Zhang's handwriting, do you think it's true?"

Wang Liefeng seemed to have lost all confidence in an instant, and his whole spirit collapsed like a withering and decaying person: "It was my carelessness." It's that I didn't expect it. ”

Zhao Tong picked up the cup and wanted to drink tea, but found that there was no water in it. Lu Shihao walked over and poured him a glass, the white smoke rose again, he blew the water, and said with a smile, "So, General Wang, you finally know now that I am really helping you." Let me tell you one more thing, the reason why this rule was forgotten is precisely because the formulator was later put into prison and forgotten, he is Liu Anshi. General Wang, Liu Anshi is your father-killing enemy. ”

- His Royal Highness King Shen is really, always picking on people's sore spots regardless of the occasion.

But it's okay today, today's His Royal Highness King Shen is very interested in the logic of the other party's employment for a long time, like a game of deceit. He waited for Wang Liefeng's outburst, and then made a move—ah, it hurt. He thought to himself, he didn't know how Miss Wang was doing now.

I don't know if this quick solution has been resolved.

He was worried that his distraction would affect his position judgment.

But Wang Liefeng didn't make a move.

Lu Shihagi heard him say, "Tell me first, where is my sister?"

"General Wang's persistence is really moving, and it deserves to be a brother and sister. Zhao Yan smiled, "Lu Shihao, do you want to take him to have a look?"

Lu Shihagi chuckled in his heart.

"Good. He said.
