Chapter 232: The Secret Passage
Lu Yuancong suddenly burst out laughing, his eyes swept over the closed room behind him, and shouted, "That's a good point, I lost the throne." ”
"But he didn't get any favors, he is now poisoned, and I'm afraid he won't survive for a month. ”
The thing in Chi Yingchu's hand fell to the ground, making a loud noise, tears couldn't stop flowing, and he saw Lu Yuancong get up and want to come with hazy teary eyes.
Lu Yuanli stopped him, and he frowned: "What's going on inside, isn't someone eavesdropping?"
"Jinghe is idle and boring, and has a cat. ”
Lu Yuancong raised his eyebrows, the emotions in his eyes were unmoved, obviously disbelieving: "I didn't expect that Liudi would develop such an interest, I went to see your cat." ”
"Brother Huang!" Lu Yuanli stopped in front of him again, his voice uncontrollably raised a few points, and his brows furrowed in displeasure.
"What?" Lu Yuancong narrowed his eyes, his eyes dark.
"The cat is afraid of life, maybe it will hurt the royal brother, let's come and see it another day. Lu Yuanli had a strong intention to stop it, but the more he stopped it like this, the more Lu Yuancong wanted to find out.
But at this time, the situation was not good to offend, Lu Yuancong restrained his expression, and promised on the surface: "Well, then don't look at it, you also have to be careful of yourself, don't get hurt." ”
"Brutes are emotionless, no matter how good you are to them, it will be in vain, maybe one day they will bite you back, but my brother will not, I am your dearest person in this world. ”
How could Lu Yuanli not be able to hear his words? lowered his eyelids and said softly: "What does the imperial brother want? But what Jinghe can give, he must try his best." ”
Lu Yuancong laughed and patted him on the shoulder, and his tone was quite appreciative: "The sixth brother is still smart, I want the country and the throne of Great Chu." ”
"The imperial brother has found the wrong person, Jinghe has long stopped asking about the worldly affairs, at most he copied the scriptures for the imperial brother, and prayed for the imperial brother. ”
Lu Yuanli's tone was gentle, he couldn't hear much emotion, it wasn't affection or alienation, he raised his feet to leave, and the emperor's hand on his shoulder tightened.
Lu Yuancong pursed his lips coldly: "I don't believe you don't understand, if you don't have a secret guard, how did you survive in this Peach Blossom Temple?"
"There is only a novice in the Peach Blossom Temple, and he is not a professionally trained killer, Jinghe can do it himself, so naturally so many years have passed. ”
In fact, Lu Yuanli wanted to say, did the imperial brother also know about the plots of various organs in this temple?
But as soon as he opened his mouth, the identity of Lu Yuancong and the killer was exposed, and the secret he had hidden for many years was revealed, and Chi Yingchu couldn't keep it.
Lu Yuancong's eyes were shocked, and he looked at the clean young man in front of him, who was not as high as his chin, but his eyes were amazingly bright, as if he knew the inside story, and his expression was calm and innocent, like a child who did not understand the world.
"I'll ask you one last time, is there anyone who can help me attack Lu Yuanbai?"
Lu Yuanli swept over the three or two little monks, and said lightly: "Da Chu does not have the habit of novices going to the battlefield, if the imperial brother insists, he can make an exception." ”
Using a group of monks to resist Lu Yuanbai's army? Lu Yuancong could tell that he was sarcastic about himself, and his attitude towards him had lost his previous friendliness.
"No, I've thought of a way. Lu Yuancong snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left.
He is going down the mountain now, and there are people searching for him outside, it is estimated that he was caught before he killed Lu Yuanbai, and the only way is to find Lu Yuanbai's weakness before that, his amulet.
Lu Yuanli entered the house, looked around and didn't see her, and turned around to look for her, but caught a glimpse of her sitting on the ground, her face full of tears.
"You ......," he guessed at the look on her face that she must have heard those conversations.
Chi Yingchu tried to stand up, his legs were weak and weak, and he almost fell back, but fortunately he was helped in time: "I want to go back to see him, don't stop me!"
"What if it's a trap?" Lu Yuanli was calmer than her, and she was speechless when she asked just a few words, and he couldn't bear it, so he still had to say.
"Lu Yuancong should know that you are here, you are going out now to suit his wishes, and Lu Yuanbai will also have some scruples because of you. ”
When Chi Yingchu was rarely impulsive, she wiped away her tears and stood up with gritted teeth: "I made a choice before, between the child and him, I chose him." ”
Between herself and him, she also chose him, so ......
"Whatever you want. Lu Yuanli really didn't want to pay attention to it, but she really wanted to push the door and walk out, and he didn't want to watch her die.
He suddenly grabbed her hand and said in a bad tone: "I'll take you through the secret passage." ”
He lifted the couch, and there was a secret passage inside, bottomless, Chi Yingchu jumped down behind him, without the pain he thought, and stepped on a piece of softness.
He gritted his teeth and snorted, got up from the ground without saying a word, and dusted off his dust.
"You ......," she said.
He didn't hug her just now, because he didn't agree with reason, but he made a meat pad for her with himself, for fear that she would hurt her body.
Lu Yuanbai said coldly: "Where is there so much nonsense, go faster, don't lose it." ”
He tore a piece of cloth from his robe and handed it to her to lead, even though it was pitch black, he seemed familiar and had a great sense of direction.
I don't know how long it took, but I could see some light further on, although it was dim, at least not completely hopeless.
She was surprised and delighted, Lu Yuanli seemed to be able to guess her reaction, and reminded in a low voice: "He also knows this secret passage, you try not to make a sound." ”
"Hmm. She nodded heavily.
The closer he got to the light, the slower Lu Yuanli's steps became, and he didn't dare to make a mistake step by step, because once Lu Yuancong found out, both of them would die.
Before they walked out of the secret passage, there was an empty meadow outside, and before the two of them could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a violent noise behind them, and when they looked back, they saw that the entrance to the cave was blocked.
Lu Yuancong jumped in front of the two of them, with an indifferent and calm smile on his face: "As expected, you are hiding her to please Lu Yuanbai?"
"Then you use her to please me, as long as you hand her over, not only do I not care about today's affairs, but also promise to promise you wealth and glory after recovering the country, and donate money to build a temple. ”
Lu Yuanli was unmoved, still protecting her behind him, Lu Yuancong wanted to make a move, but he suddenly said: "Didn't the imperial brother want me to help you? I do have a secret guard in my hand, but it's just ......"
"Just what?" Lu Yuancong listened with interest, and his eyes moved to Chi Yingchu behind him, "I didn't see you open my mouth no matter how I asked before, but now I have paid for her." ”
"Are you taking care of her because of Lu Yuanbai, or because of your own selfish......ness?"
Chi Yingchu's eyes were shocked, her face changed suddenly, Lu Yuanbai took her reaction in full view, and laughed: "My sixth brother has never had the habit of helping others, do you understand?"
Lu Yuanli didn't look at her, even if the feelings in his heart were exposed, there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.
"Brother Huang said something wrong!" he grabbed Lu Yuancong and shouted at Chi Yingchu, "Don't you understand how much I hate you?
Chi Yingchu pulled out her legs and wanted to run, but Lu Yuanli didn't owe her, she couldn't leave him to run alone, and Lu Yuanli was thrown to the ground by him.
She threw a handful of stones and threw them, Lu Yuancong easily dodged, and a long sword stabbed at her, she thought she couldn't dodge, and was suddenly hugged away.
Lu Yuancong was kicked to the ground fiercely, and snorted: "Lu Yuanbai, you're here!"
