Chapter 26: God Opens His Eyes
Li Ru, who was interested, had just carried Xiaoyu to bed, but he heard the words of the guards outside the courtyard, and someone should be passing by.
Although no one entered the hospital in the end, it still interrupted the upcoming Spring Palace drama.
"My lord, bear with me for a few more days, and when the slave and maid go to your house, I will definitely serve you well."
Li Ru also knew that he was a little impulsive in his actions just now, and in case he attracted the guards, he would be in trouble, so he smiled and let go of Xiaoyu.
Seeing that Li Ru had no intention of leaving, Su Xiangyu pulled him to sit on the bed. Resting their heads on each other's shoulders, the two began to chat again.
"By the way, my lord, is the Hua Demon really as powerful as the legend?"
"Hehe, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be defeated by my scheme?" After smiling proudly, Li Ru continued:
"You don't have to worry, he's pretty skilled, but those rumors ...... It's all fake. ”
"Fake?" Su Xiangyu said with a look of disbelief:
"I've heard many people say that he is a demon from heaven, and he can kill thousands of enemies at will. So many people are talking, how can it be fake? ”
After the intimate contact just now, Li Ru has included Su Xiangyu in the ranks of his cronies, and he did not shy away from saying:
"Because...... What you've heard is just a rumor I've let people spread. ”
"Huh? Yes, did you make it up? ”
"That's right!"
Seeing that Xiaoyu didn't understand the mystery, Li Ru explained with a smile:
With these rumors, from eunuchs and palace maids to generals and courtiers, they will be afraid when they contact Huaxing. Even the Taishi was worried that he would be haunted by bad luck after hearing this, so he didn't dare to summon him easily. Hehe, you look at the past few days, let alone entrusting a heavy task, the Taishi has never even seen Huaxing's face once, this is all the credit of rumors. ”
"Oh, that's right......"
After nodding thoughtfully, Su Xiangyu said with a puzzled face:
"My lord, did Devil Hua offend you before?"
"Hehe, do you want to offend...... Not really! ”
"None? So why did you design to frame him? ”
"Such an obvious truth, can't guess?"
"Slaves and maids are stupid, I hope your lord will teach you."
Hearing this, Li Ru pondered for a moment, but then asked without answering:
"Xiaoyu, what do you think of my Li Wenyou's status in the court?"
Although I don't know why the other party asked this question, it must have something to do with Na Huaxing, and soon heard Su Xiangyu reply:
"The lord official Bai Lang Zhong Ling, is the first strategist around the Taishi, and it can be said that he is above 10,000 people under one person."
After hearing this praise, Li Ru was not happy, but snorted coldly:
"Humph! Now that the Taishi is dead, the world has changed greatly. This kind of talk...... Don't dare to talk nonsense in the future! ”
Seeing Li Ru's displeasure, Su Xiangyu hurriedly apologized:
"The slave knows her mistake, so she won't talk nonsense in the future."
"Hmm. However, even when the Taishi was alive, I, Li Ru, could not be regarded as the first courtier of the Taishi......"
"Uh...... You mean Ushisuke-sama? Su Xiangyu guessed.
"Ushisuke?"
Hearing this name, Li Ru was disdainful:
"Although he is the son-in-law of the Grand Master, this person has no city government and no military exploits, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"
"Yes, yes! What the adults say is very true. ”
Su Xiangyu, who guessed wrong, echoed, but soon fell into thought again. It didn't take long to see her eyes light up:
"That must be General Lu, right?"
And this time Li Ru didn't refute again, and nodded slightly:
"Alas! The stupidest thing I did in my life was to let the Taishi persuade Lu Bu to surrender! It is true that Feng Xian has no plans, but he is brave and good at fighting, and he has repeatedly made war exploits, and the situation has climbed on my head in just a few years. not only recognized the Taishi as his father, but also snatched the seat of the first courtier, which is really hateful! ”
Speaking of this, Li Ru couldn't help but grit his teeth, and it was not difficult to see that his hatred for Lu Bu was from the bottom of his heart.
"Oh, but does this have anything to do with the Hua Devil?"
"Of course it is!" Li Ru's face was gloomy and he said:
"Look at that Huaxing, he is brave and does not lose to Lu Bu, and his mind is also extremely good. If he is given a chance, he will be able to make great achievements in less than a year. When the time comes, he will definitely become the second Lu Bu, or even stronger...... Hum! I won't make the same mistake twice. Therefore, even if there is no grievance with him, Huaxing must die! ”
Hearing this, Su Xiangyu completely understood that the reason why Li Ru framed Huaxing had nothing to do with hatred at all, and it was completely out of jealousy.
The purpose is to keep his position and not want Huaxing to climb on his head.
In this regard, Su Xiangyu was surprised for half a second, but quickly accepted the matter.
And not only accepted, but she was also secretly glad that she had climbed into such a ruthless role as soon as Dong Zhuo died.
Because only by being vicious enough can you be invincible in troubled times.
As long as Li Ru can continue to be beautiful, she Su Xiangyu will be able to continue to be rich and prosperous through this big tree.
That's all that matters to her!
As for the lives and deaths of other people, Su Xiangyu didn't bother to ask.
"Your Excellency, it's really clever! first spread rumors, and then let the slaves stay in other houses...... Since then, Huaxing has really jumped into the Yellow River and can't wash it. ”
Seeing that Xiaoyu admired herself from the bottom of her heart, Li Ru's face showed a smug look again:
"Haha, it's not just rumors and staying overnight, in fact, the sword he brought into the temple was also arranged by me! I have long guessed that relying only on the first two strategies, the Taishi may not be able to use killing thoughts. That's why he found a cronie to pretend to be Xu Rong and handed over the wooden box containing the sword to Huaxing. This kid is stupid enough to bring the contents of the box into the temple without checking the contents. Hehe, isn't this a mouse marrying a cat and looking for death? ”
Speaking of pride, Li Ru was full of spring breeze, shaking his head, and the whole thing was intoxicated with his "works".
Su Xiangyu on the side was also full of admiration, looking up at Li Ru like a fan, trying her best to cooperate with the other party's emotions.
However, at this seemingly wonderful moment, the door of the wardrobe was suddenly pushed open from the inside!
A man in a brocade robe with a jet-black iron dagger suddenly appeared in the house.
Now that the reason has been figured out, there is no need for Huaxing to hide anymore, so he jumped out of the closet openly.
The sudden jump out of the cabinet was scary enough.
After carefully looking at the man's appearance, Su Xiangyu was even more scared!
She subconsciously let out a frightened scream, hurriedly hid behind Li Ru, and shouted tremblingly:
"Hua, Hua Devil!"
Faced with the sudden appearance of Huaxing, Li Ru was also shocked and frightened, stood up from the bed tremblingly, and asked in disbelief:
"Y-Why are you here?"
At this moment, among the three, only Huaxing seemed the least nervous. While playing with the dagger, he replied with a smile:
"Sorry to disturb you. Hua hid in this cabinet for an afternoon, but he didn't expect to meet the two. Hehe, this should be the legendary ...... God is eye-opening, right? ”
