After laughing, Yan Lie poured another glass and said apologetically to Zhou Wenfeng: "Second brother, I know, no matter what I say now, you will feel vain when you listen to it." But I don't vomit unpleasantly, after so many years, will you hate me! "We've come to this point, and the only thing I want is to be understood.

has reached this point and still talk about hatred or hate, Zhou Wenfeng picked up the wine glass and drank it all and said: "At this time, what kind of hatred do you talk about, things have changed, I just forgive you." ”

After listening to his words, Yan Lie never felt relaxed, raised the wine glass and said: "Do it first for respect" Drink it first, then put down the wine glass, and took out a palm-sized Ruyi from his arms, this Ruyi is jade inlaid with gold and is gorgeous and vulgar, very gratifying. Full of love and pity for a moment, he handed it to Zhou Wenfeng: "This is what Wanyu gave me back then, and I have been with me for more than 20 years, although it is not noble, it means very good, a few days later, Shui'er got married, as a brother-in-law, it is rude that the uncle cannot participate, and this thing is considered to be a gesture of heart." This is her belonging, and I think she would be willing to let me give it to Shui'er. ”

Zhou Wenfeng took it and sighed regretfully: "Big brother don't have to regret it, why don't I go with the third brother to intercede, I think Ziyu will definitely give us these two old men face?" ”

Wan Yanlie smiled lightly and dissuaded: "The enemy general was captured, and it is already merciful not to execute him immediately, and if he has a little brain, he will not be given a chance to escape, Ziyu is in an embarrassing position more difficult than ordinary people, you don't make it difficult for him, I don't have much time, it's better for you to have a drunk with the eldest brother, so that the eldest brother will not have regrets on the Huangquan Road." ”

Having said that, it seems to be a foregone conclusion. Zhu and Tuesday also let go of their attachments, and said in unison with their cups: "Big brother has a good journey." ”

Qiang Qiang's words made people feel sad, and Lu Jue, who was standing not far away, listened to it without missing a word, and also witnessed all this. The reunion of the three brothers after more than 20 years should have been a joy, but it became the last reunion, and the atmosphere was inevitably filled with sadness. Knowing that they would definitely have a lot of words to say, Lu Jue, who was standing outside, did not bother, and watched silently for a moment before retreating with Lei Gang, returning to the carriage parked outside and waiting for the best time.

Time passed little by little, the sky gradually darkened, and the night wind that followed the shadows also returned, and he gave Lu Jue the news he had inquired about one by one.

After listening to this, Lu Jue pondered deeply, and lowered his head to fiddle with the stove on his legs, seemingly absent-minded, but in fact, he was distracted. Wait until Gu Shuangyun changed his other hand for medicine before he spoke: "In this case, you go and inform Ming Hao and Commander Zuo to let them act separately." ”

"Yes," Nightwind commanded to leave.

Lu Jue picked up the stove on his lap and asked seemingly casually: "You can prepare the medicine I want!" ”

Gu Shuangyun was stunned for a moment, but after a moment he realized what he meant, and remembered that what he was talking about with him that day was not a joke, so he turned around and quickly took out a red ceramic wine jug from the medicine box and hurriedly handed it over and asked, "Master has thought about it, do you really plan to do this?" ”

Lu Jue hooked the wine jug and put it on the tea table in front of him, leaned back on the soft pillow and reminded: "Don't ask if you shouldn't know, you know and I know about this matter, but if there is a third person who knows, you know the consequences." Holding his head with one hand and closing his eyes to recuperate, he said slowly: "Even if I am not an official or a king, I am still Lu Jue." ”

Gu Shuangyun looked at Lu Jue with fear, she also understood what she meant without thinking, that is, as long as he wanted to, no matter where he was or who he was, it would be easy to trouble him, and she still wanted to live in peace for the rest of her life, how could she dare to talk more. He immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, Shuangyun will definitely take care of this mouth." ”

"That's good." He replied flatly, as if the words just now did not come out of his mouth.

In this way, the car was silent for a while, Lu Jue closed his eyes and listened to his heartbeat quietly, and did not regret the decision made in a moment. Just as he was thinking about it, Lei Gang's voice came from outside the car, and when he heard the sound, he opened his eyes, raised his hand and lightly lifted the curtain of the car to look at the door of the prison, only to see Zhou Wenfeng and Zhu Zhen got into the carriage with the support of the Imperial Forest Army, although someone supported the two of them still swayed, so it seems that the two drank a lot.

It wasn't until the carriage left that Lu Jue lowered the curtains, put on a cloak and lifted a wine jug and got out of the carriage. He asked Lei Gang to stay outside, and stepped into the cell alone under the guidance of the Imperial Guards, and when he reached the door of the cell, he hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and waited until the fear on his face faded before raising his feet to enter.

The Imperial Forest Army led Lu Jue to the cell where Yan Lie was held, opened it and retreated, Lu Jue opened the cell door and stepped in, the whole cell was filled with the smell of alcohol, which made him smell a little uncomfortable, but he didn't retreat but glanced at Wan Yan Lie, who was lying on the couch with only a corner of the quilt and sleeping on his side, sighed softly, stepped forward and did not wake him up, walked to the table after covering the quilt for him, held the wine glass and teacup on the table, and filled the wine bottle in his hand. Then he asked someone to bring a pot of hot tea, poured himself a cup, and sat there quietly waiting for him to wake up.

If you want to kill him, Lu Jue still can't bear it. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have the power he has today, and he wouldn't have done anything, let alone have a comfortable marriage. But let him go, the tens of thousands of people have no shame to face, one side is a benefactor, the other side is righteousness, Lu Jue finally realized the difficulty of making a decision again, he used to only laugh at others and mediocrity to disturb himself, but when it came to his own head, he knew the distress!

In this way, I don't know how much time passed, Wanyan Honglie, who was asleep, turned over and woke up. When he saw Lu Jue sitting at the table, he was surprised at first, and when he looked back, he immediately understood his intention, he woke up and sat up, hanging his legs and stepping on his soft shoes. smiled and said: "If you have something to do, you know people's hearts, and now that you have come to see me, you know that you are a person who values love and righteousness." But this is not good, so let's accept your mercy! ”

Glancing at him, Lu Jue lifted the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea, picked it up and walked over to him and handed it to him, and said: "Lord Wang's words Ziyu will definitely keep in mind, it must be uncomfortable to drink a lot of wine, I asked people to change the hot tea, drink sober wine, warm up!" ”

His throat was dry and uncomfortable, Wan Yanlie didn't be polite to him, took the tea, and drank it in one go, regardless of whether it was still hot.

When Lu Jue saw him finish drinking in one go, he knew that he must be thirsty, so he walked to the table and lifted the teapot and refilled another cup for him.

In this way, Yan Lie drank a few glasses in succession, wiped the water stains on the side of his mouth with the corner of his sleeve, and just saw Lu Jue's tightly bandaged hands, his heart was pinched fiercely, and he asked in an astringent voice: "Will it recover?" ”

Lu Jue looked down at his hands, smiled bitterly, and told the truth: "The prince knows that my body is poor, and it is already very good to be able to maintain basic activities!" ”

After hearing him say this, how could Yan Lie not regret it, he lowered his head and stared at the hand that was already clenched, and said in a low voice: "Since you have come a long time ago, why don't you wake me up!" He climbed into his soft shoes and sat down at the table, holding his head in one hand and pinching his head in pain from drunkenness.

Lu Jue followed him to the table, and after refilling a cup of tea for him, he also sat down and said, "Seeing that the prince is sleeping sweetly, he can't bear to disturb him, so he waited here, and he didn't sit for long, just for a moment." ”

He said politely but not at all, looking at the only glass full of wine on the table, he reached out and moved the wine glass in front of him, and asked calmly, "Is my time up, right?" ”

Lu Jue did not hide it, and told the truth: "Standing between countries, you and I are in different opposing camps; But for me, you have always been kind to me, although I almost lost my life at your hands, but if it wasn't for your clever arrangement, I wouldn't have a good marriage, and I wouldn't be where I am today! ”

Hearing this, Wan Yanlie's heart tightened, and he frowned and said, "It's not easy to catch the enemy general, but don't be confused." ”

Lu Jue stood up, bowed to him and said: "The people's life is not easy, just a few years of stable life, I don't want to have another war, I can't do it for the people, I hope the prince will understand." ”

But Wan Yanlie smiled calmly, he knew his fate very well, and he also knew that he was in a catastrophe, and at this time he gladly accepted it. failed to pave the way for him, and there were always regrets in his heart. He sighed, lifted the teapot and poured the tea steadily: "I feel comforted to have you accompany me on the last journey, there is a sentence you have to remember, you are young and have little experience, you must be careful after entering the palace." In the face of interests, relatives do not dare to ensure that everything is reliable; The enemy may not be all malicious! ”

Lu Jue stared at him and said, "As you said, relatives are unreliable, who else is reliable?" ”

"If you're not in good health, it's not easy to drink, so replace the bar with tea!" Picked up the teacup and got up step by step: "People are about to die, their words are also good, and there are some words that I don't want to bring to the coffin to remind me!" He put the teacup in front of him and whispered in his ear, "Beware of your second brother!" ”

Lu Jue frowned fiercely, looked at him and asked, "When did you know my second brother?" ”

Before he was surprised, Yan Lie already knew it, and it seemed that he knew a lot. But he still wants to know how Lu Siqing, who has always been fair and strict, will choose in front of family affection and the law! Besides, does he really have that exquisite seven-trick heart, and is wary of those who have bad intentions!

He raised his hand and pressed it on his shoulder, stared at him intently, and revealed the secrets one by one: "Back then, I recruited a total of three people, one was Xu He, who was placed in the Seven Star Hall, and then Jiang Huan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the capital, and the last one was your second brother Lu Tianhua, Lu Tianhua is the most scheming, the most powerful, and the most difficult person to control. Although I know it will be dangerous to keep him by my side, I am relieved to be sure that you are not worried. Now that I'm in danger, I just want you to be more wary of this person. ”

His kindness attracted Lu Jue's ridicule, and after laughing, Lu Jue sneered at a glance: "In this case, you should have known the whereabouts of the Tiger Talisman for a long time, if you want to get it, it should be easy, why wait until I grow up, don't you think it's too much?" ”

Wan Yanlie shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I want to watch you grow up for her, watch you marry and have children." No matter how hard it is, no matter how suspicious it is, I have no regrets. I gave up my beloved for the good of my country, do you know how much I regret it? From the moment I decided to protect her son to avenge her, I knew I was doomed, so I resigned myself to my fate. ”

Lu Jue frowned and said, "Is it worth it for me to be so good?" ”

Wan Yanlie smiled and said, "I owe her, and I owe you." ”

Lu Jue sneered and debunked: "What you owe me is to draw the people around me into the dire straits, and ask me to choose between the law and my affection." The prince doesn't think it's too much, it's too wide! ”

After hearing him say this, Yan Lie smiled, and he said in a brisk tone: "No matter what, he is already guilty, and the emperor will definitely let you preside over the case after you return to Beijing, you should think carefully about how to deal with him." Except for me, according to your own body, you are not just a thorn in the side of the hungry wolves in the court at this time! A pat on his shoulder was a reminder.

These words made Lu Jue realize something, and lowered his head thoughtfully.

Seeing that he was silent, the corners of Wan Yanlie's mouth leaked a sly smile, and his upper body leaned slightly and whispered: "These three people I am secretly recruited, and people are selfish, as long as you promise me one thing, your second brother will be safe and sound, think about it." Watching Lu Jue's every move intently, waiting for him to make a choice.

Lu Jue turned his head and asked, "Do you want to live?"

"I ......," he said, and before he could begin his speech, he was interrupted by the sound of a fight coming from outside the door, and he stopped the conversation and turned his head to look out the door.

The sound of the fight was getting closer and closer, and after a while, more than a dozen black-clothed killers rushed in, and the shadow was the first to rush to the cell, saying, "The prince and the slave came to the rescue, and quickly leave with the minion." Who knew that before he could take Yan Lie away, he was blocked by Lei Gang and Zuo Jizhong. Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, he glanced at Lu Jue, who was sitting on the side, and dragged him to him, with a steel knife in his hand on his neck, and threatened: "One life for another, if you let the prince leave, I will let the prince go, otherwise he will be the soul of my sword." ”

Zuo Jizhong pointed at the shadow angrily and said sharply: "Let go of the prince, otherwise I will reward you with ten thousand arrows through your heart." ”

The shadow pushed Lu Jue forward, twisted his arm hard, and said; "Then you just don't want your prince to live, so that we can die together! Come on! Shoot! ”

In the face of his coercion, it was obvious that Zuo Jizhong did not dare to act rashly, and took two steps back slightly and said angrily: "You'd better promise not to hurt the prince, but if the prince is hurt a little, I will break you into ten thousand pieces!" ”

Apparently the shadow was almost crazy, and he shouted hysterically: "Let the prince go, let the prince go!" ”

Lu Jue turned his head to look at Wan Yan Lie and said with a faint smile: "Take me as a coerc, the prince is too naïve!" ”

Wan Yan Lie smiled back, reflexively sat down in the seat and said in a flat tone: "I never thought of running away, after more than 20 years of competition and intrigue, I am tired, and it is time to rest." Without hesitation, he reached out and took the cup of poisoned wine and drank it all.

"Lord Wang" Shadow sighed vigorously, threw the steel knife in his hand on the ground, and knelt in front of Wan Yanlie, and the other black-clothed people also threw down the knife in their hands like him, giving up resistance and kneeling on the ground.

Wan Yan Lie lifted the poisonous wine jug and poured himself another glass, and said with a miserable smile: "Before I die, I have two requests, I hope the prince can grant it." He clasped his hands into fists and arched his hands at him.

Lu Jue didn't respond, just nodded in agreement.

Wan Yanlie didn't want to distinguish whether his words were true or false, so he held the table with one hand and said: "These people have wives and children, fathers and mothers, and it is really helpless to rebel with me, I hope that the prince will raise his noble hand to spare their lives and let them go home for the rest of their lives." ”

Lu Jue replied without thinking: "Okay." ”

Gradually, after the strength of the medicine came up, Yan Lie's chest began to ache sharply, and there seemed to be a foreign body stuck in his throat, he raised his hand to cover his chest, and a burst of coughing blood also flowed out of the corner of his mouth, he raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly spoke: "The last one, one request, my sister is innocent, beg the prince to let my sister go." There was another violent cough, and the blood in his mouth was not stopping.

The shadow immediately got up and hugged Wan Yan Lie, and looked at Lu Jue anxiously and pleaded: "Go to the doctor to save the prince, save the prince." ”

"It's useless, live well." Wan Yanlie raised his hand and pressed the shadow, just smiling sadly. Then he looked at Lu Jue with a pleading look and said weakly: "Such a trivial matter, Tai, Prince, don't be embarrassed!" ”

Lu Jue said expressionlessly: "I agree. ”

"Thank you for your great kindness." stood up with all his might, looked out the small window and laughed a few times, these few voices of helplessness that something had not been done and had died; There is also the ridicule of inferior skills; There is also the sadness of leaving your loved ones! laughed and said loudly: "Wanyu, I have no regrets about dying at his hands." He spat out a mouthful of blood, laughed and fell to the ground.

"Lord Wang, the minions will open the way for your Huangquan." The shadow screamed and died, and the other men in black followed suit.

In the face of all this, Lu Jue was calm, and he didn't have the worries and troubles just now. He looked silently at a few dead people on the ground for a moment, and ordered: "Except for Yan Lie, everyone else is buried alive, except for Guo Shengjun, who is alive, put them back in their hometown, and inform the local governor and county to pay close attention." ”

"Yes" Zuo Jizhong ordered people to be carried away, and then went to do what Lu Jue explained.

When there was no one inside, Lu Jue beckoned Lei Gang to step forward and whisper a few words, took a deep look at Wan Yanlie on the ground, and left.
