"How can a good person say that he can't see it?" Luo Yu frowned and paced back and forth in the study, "Luo Lian'er has no wings, and the mansion is surrounded by people inside and out, where can she go?" Could it be that you didn't look carefully when you were looking? ”

The subordinate who came to report said with a sad face: "The eldest son, I have looked for it inside and out." ”

That's weird.

In order to ensure that Luo Lian'er couldn't escape, Luo Yu specially replaced all the subordinates around her who were originally loyal, leaving only a dedicated but incapable maid to serve by her side, and the people who guarded the small courtyard were also absolutely impossible for Luo Lian'er to command, why was the person still missing.

"Could it be that there are still people in this mansion who can help Luo Lian'er?"

The subordinate who was kneeling on the ground heard this sentence and cautiously reminded: "Eldest prince, doesn't the young lady know about the secret passage?" Maybe she's from a secret passage—"

After his reminder, Luo Yu instantly understood.

The reason why Luo Lian'er was able to leave the Luo family quietly was because she was following the secret passage and wanted to chase her, and it may be too late to chase along the secret passage now.

Just do it, Luo Yu immediately ordered someone to go to the secret passage to investigate, and they wanted to catch up directly, but they unexpectedly saw a person who shouldn't have appeared.

"Gong Ao!" Luo Yu gritted his teeth and said.

Gong Ao himself was quite surprised, he thought he could hide himself, but he never expected that the eldest prince would notice that something was wrong so quickly, and directly led people to the secret passage.

"I thought that after my father's incident, you would be loyal to me forever, but I never expected you to change your mind so quickly and betray so simply! Gong Ao, you disappointed me so much. ”

Gong Ao lowered his face: "The eldest prince is angry." ”

"Where are Luo Lian'er?"

Gong Ao was neither humble nor arrogant: "Back to the eldest prince, at this time, the young lady is afraid that she has already taken the carriage, even if you want to chase it, you can't catch up." ”

"Where the hell did she go?"

This time, Gong Ao pursed his lips and refused to say a word, it seemed that he was determined to hide Luo Lian'er's whereabouts.

If Luo Yu was so angry that when he saw Gong Ao coming out of the secret passage, then after Gong Ao refused to reply to his question, Luo Yu was so angry that every drop of blood in his body was boiling. Recalling his previous hopeless assurances to Yu and his boasting of Haikou, Luo Yu was both amused and annoyed: "Anyone can betray me, but you can't." ”

"Hold him in custody for me, and wait for him to be released."

With that, Luo Yu turned around directly.

A hint of surprise flashed in the corners of Gong Ao's eyebrows, who was kneeling on the ground, and he thought that the eldest prince would be angry and kill him directly, but the other party still showed mercy. The eldest prince is still the gentle and elegant appearance in his memory, but after so many changes, he still hasn't changed.

As Gong Ao was escorted away, Luo Yu ordered his subordinates to chase after him, but as Gong Ao said, no matter how many people were sent out, he didn't find a clue, thinking that he had prepared in advance.

The more Luo Yu thought about it, the more annoyed he became: "I'm proud of Gong, why did he betray me so much?" ”

Compared with Luo Lian'er's departure from Luo Cheng, Luo Yu was even more annoyed by Gong Ao's betrayal of himself, he could be said to have full trust in Gong Ao, and even boasted about Haikou in front of Yu Wuhope, but Gong Ao slapped him in the face.

What a betrayal of his trust!

Luo Yu was angry, and he was extremely annoyed with Gong Ao, but he didn't have the heart to deal with him.

The cronies saw all this clearly in their eyes, and sighed: "Eldest prince, have you ever thought that Gong Ao had no personal relationship with Miss before, and the two even had a stage where they didn't like each other, why did he want to help Miss escape today?" ”

"I-"

Luo Yu was speechless for a while.

At that time, he saw Gong Ao coming out of the secret passage with a lantern, he was really dizzy, let alone asking the reason, it was already very good to be able to resist the urge to kill and not deal with Gong Ao. At the time, I didn't think there was anything wrong with my disposal, but now I am discouraged, and I only find a mistake when I think about it carefully.

Luo Yu pressed his temples with a faint pain, and sneered: "What other justifiable reason can he have?" It's just that he was bought by Luo Lian'er. ”

The subordinates felt that there was another reason for the matter. Since the last time the eldest prince expressed his full trust in Gong Ao in front of the national teacher, Gong Ao has been dead set on the eldest prince, cough cough, or loyal, a smart person like him will never do something impulsive, let alone be bribed by the young lady, won't he weigh the pros and cons and distinguish the good from the bad? ”

Luo Yu's eyebrows were raised; "You have a lot of truth in what you said, why don't you suggest by the way, what should I do with Gong Ao in the future?" Jin Yong Chinese

I saw that my subordinates said with a righteous face: "My subordinates think that it is better for the eldest prince to talk to Gong Ao, if there is a misunderstanding, it is best to make it clear in advance, if there is no ......, the person who betrayed the eldest prince should be erased as soon as possible, so as not to cause another incident in the Taishou Mansion." ”

Luo Yu became the ruler of Luo Cheng through special means, and he must not let a person climb up through the same method.

Fingers tapped lightly on the table, pressing the boredom in his heart, Luo Yu nodded: "I understand what you mean." ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Luo Yu went to the cell to see Gong Ao.

As soon as he entered the door of the cell, he couldn't help but frown.

Where is this a place where one can stay? The damp and gloomy environment is everywhere you look, and the corners are crawling with all kinds of small insects, and from time to time you can see cockroaches and rats scurrying around, and the air is filled with a disgusting smell of rot.

Luo Yu has lived for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen such a harsh environment.

As soon as the footsteps sounded, Gong Ao knew that someone was coming, raised his eyelids and looked, and he was shocked to see that the person who came was Luo Yu.

"Why are you here, eldest son! It's dark and damp, and it's not good for your health, so you'd better get out of the place quickly. ”

Luo Yu sneered: "Are you ordering me?" ”

"No, the subordinates don't mean that, the subordinates just don't want the eldest prince to suffer physically."

The environment in this cell is not as good as outside, the dampness is too much, and the eldest prince is not proficient in martial arts, what if he stays in this place and hurts his body? Even if it was him who poured himself in, Gong Ao couldn't be resentful.

only kept repeating: "The eldest prince should go quickly." ”

This reaction looked really strange, at least when Luo Yu saw it, he couldn't help frowning: "You are really an incomprehensible person." Obviously betrayed me, but he still thinks about me. ”

This appearance is not like Gong Ao is pretentious, Luo Yu feels more and more confused.

The person questioned was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "In this mansion, no one is more loyal than me, didn't the eldest prince think of this and let me die?" ”

"Heh, you really want to think, if the most loyal person in this mansion is you, why hasn't anyone else been locked in, but you-" Luo Yu suddenly lost his patience, and just wanted to ask the answer he wanted as soon as possible: "Why did you let Luo Lian'er go?" You obviously know that with her current body and ability, there is only one way to die if you leave the Luo family, but you still have to let her go! What's the difference between this and sending her to Huangquan Road? ”

Gong Ao lowered his eyelids: "If I say that Miss is leaving for the sake of the eldest prince, do you believe it?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The injuries on the eldest prince's body have not healed yet, can't you understand the reason?"

A hint of surprise flashed at the corners of Luo Yu's eyes and eyebrows, and he subconsciously raised his hand and touched his wound. That's right, the injuries he suffered when he was assassinated by Luo Lian'er last time have not healed yet, in order not to cause a riot, he ordered everyone who knew the inside story to shut up, just didn't want people to deal with Luo Lian'er, but he never expected that Gong Ao still knew: "This is why you let Luo Lian'er leave?" ”

"Yes." Since the words have been said to this point, it is meaningless to continue to cover it up, Gong Ao simply admitted, "Miss looks weak on the surface, but her actual personality can't be stubborn, what she wants to do, no matter how many people stop her in front of her, she will not change her mind, and the assassination of the eldest prince is the same." Miss holds a grudge against the eldest son, and she has done it three times and twice, if she could barely support it before, but now it is different, and Miss has also practiced swordsmanship....... And she has a lot of talent in swordsmanship. If it continues to develop like this, even if someone is always protecting the eldest prince, it may not be able to keep it. ”

"So what? She's just a girl—"

Without waiting for Luo Yu to finish speaking, Gong Ao directly interrupted: "Don't underestimate the girl's family, think about the current Imperial Highness, why is she not a girl?" But with the change of the environment, isn't it gradually sharpened into a knife? ”

"It's the softest object, and when it comes to a pinch, it has the power to kill a person."

Luo Yu glanced at Gong Ao with a complicated expression: "What do you mean, could it be that you let people go, and I have to thank you for solving a big trouble for me?" ”

Gong Ao lowered his face: "The subordinates don't dare." ”

When he came, Luo Yu specially asked the jailer for the key, which is now coming in handy. I saw him take a step forward, easily open the lock with his hand, and with a push, the closed cell door also opened.

Gong Ao was stunned in place: "This is the eldest prince?" ”

"Let's go." Luo Yu threw down these three words and turned around and left the cell.

The bunch of keys were casually thrown on the ground by him, making a crisp sound, "I can't let someone who has a disagreement with me follow me anymore, but for the sake of the love back then, I can't kill you." Letting you go is the best option, so go and don't let me see you again from now on. ”

Gong Ao was silent for a long time, and said with a long sigh: "Thank you for the grace of the eldest prince not to kill." ”
