Jiang Quan's letter to Luo Zhen said that he was likely to be suspected, and asked Luo Zhen if everything still went according to plan, if he decided to do it now, then he would start preparing to kill Pei Tai and replace him, and then lead his troops to attack Ming'an, when the time comes, all 50,000 troops will obey Luo Chen's dispatch, and he will not be as passive as he is now with soldiers in his hands.

"It seems that there are not many people in Luo Xu's hands who can be used at all." Luo Fu asked Xie Yin: "How many people did he bring with him when he came to Ming'an?" ”

Xie Yin said he didn't know: "But there are only a few guards who move around him every day." ”

Li Bu folded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope: "Maybe there are other things that Jiang Quan doesn't know." He handed the letter to Xie Yin: "You send the letter back." ”

"Wait......"

Luo Shi pulled out a hair from his head and stuffed it with the letter paper: "There are also those that fell out of it just now, whether it is intentional or unintentional, be careful." ”

Xie Yin took the letter, glanced at the two of them, and hesitated: "Just take it back like this?" You guys...... You don't have any action? ”

"We already know the contents of the letter, that's enough, and you don't have to worry about the rest." Li Bu drove him away: "After completely pulling you into the water now, he won't do anything to test you anymore, you can rest assured." ”

Xie Yin took the letter back into his arms, nodded, opened the door and went out.

Now it seems that they have everything under control, but things seem to be going too well.

Luo Fu felt uneasy, and wrote a letter to Luo Jun overnight.

Their attention is now in Ming'an, and they are afraid that Luo Zhen will secretly calculate, and then quietly stretch out their hands to the capital.

However, Li Bu has always been at ease in the capital: "Even if Luo Xu's target is Gu Yue and Xirong, we are the first to know the news as soon as there is a stir in the two countries, I have been working hard in these two countries for so long, how can I give up my efforts because of one Luo Xu?" ”

"If you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what if, it's better to be careful."

However, as soon as the letter to Luo Jun was sent out the next day, Luo Jun's holy decree ordering Li Bu to be escorted back to Beijing for trial immediately fell into the hands of Lu Zhenhe and Fang Tian.

It seems that he has also heard the rumors that Li Bu went crazy and killed Luo Fu.

This gossip spread so fast, it was obvious that people from various places had colluded in advance, and then released the rumors together, otherwise the capital was so far away from Huishui, how could the news spread so quickly.

Lu Zhenhe and Fang Tian received the holy decree but could only offer it honestly, Li Bu was not there, and the eldest princess was also alive, how could she escort people back for trial?

When Xie Yin delivered the letter to Luo Chen, Luo Zhen looked very happy, he didn't hear that he did a good job, and he didn't even mind opening the letter to read it with him.

Although Xie Yin had already read it once, he still pretended as if he had never read the letter, and pretended to inadvertently gently sweep away the eye-catching hair on the letter, and as his gaze went down a little bit, his brows became deeper and deeper.

Luo Zhen saw all his unconscious small movements, so he was more satisfied with his attitude, and asked him if he had any good suggestions for getting rid of Pei Tai.

Xie Yin said impatiently: "You only asked me to help you get the letter, now that the letter is back, it shouldn't be anything for me, right?" ”

He hadn't seen Hongyan since he came back, and now he just wanted to find Hongyan, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with him at all.

Luo Zhen saw why he was anxious and asked him, "Do you like red smoke?" ”

Xie Yin felt that Luo Zhen who asked this question seemed like a fool: "I like her?" She's my sister, how could I possibly like her? ”

Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Then what if she is not your sister?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"That's what you heard."

Xie Yin took back the foot that stepped out: "She's not my sister, so who is she?" ”

His intuition told him that something was likely to happen to Hongyan, and he couldn't calm down, so he asked Luo Xu: "What about Hongyan?" What did you send him to do again? ”

"You want to see her?"

Xie Yin roared at him: "I asked you what about her?" ”

Luo Zhen blocked his ears, and when he finished yelling, he said: "Hongyan is not from our family, she is not my sister and not your sister, in the past, she was able to do her best for the future of the family, and my mother and I can treat her as our own, but now she has changed and has selfishness, since she is not from our family, there is naturally no need to keep her." ”

Xie Yin almost didn't step forward to tear Luo Xu: "You killed her?" She did so much for you and you killed her? Luo Xu! You're still not fucking human! ”

Luo Zhen took away Xie Yin's hand holding his collar: "Don't get excited, I didn't say that I killed her, just let her live in another place for two days, if you really want to see her, help me do one thing, and I will let you see her after the thing is done." "New World

Xie Yin finally realized that this was a trap, but he couldn't help but ask him, "What's the matter?" ”

Luo Zhen said: "It's not a difficult thing, it's just that I got the news today, saying that the little emperor asked Li Bu to escort Li Bu back to Beijing for trial, I don't want him to return to Beijing alive, I want you to help me kill him." ”

Xie Yin felt that his brain was abnormal: "Doesn't the emperor let him go back to Beijing for trial, does it mean that he has believed those rumors, why do you want to do more?" ”

Luo Zhen shook his head: "I changed my mind, because I suddenly realized that if I give my opponent even a breather, in the end he will come back with that breath to take revenge, Li Bu is different from all my previous opponents, I have already folded it in his hands once, I can't suffer in his hands again, a little emperor can't help him, when he recovers, he is bound to retaliate crazy, this time I want you to kill him, and bring me back his head." ”

"You can't help but overestimate me, not to mention whether I am his opponent or not, the people who escorted him are the soldiers and Dali Siqing, you let me kill Li Bu under their noses, this is as impossible as letting me go to heaven to help you pick the stars."

"How do you know it's impossible if you don't try?"

"Then why don't you go to heaven? How do you know you can't go to heaven without trying? ”

"I'll find someone to cooperate with you, if you still don't want to, I won't force it, I'll find someone else to do it."

"Stop!" Xie Yin blocked him in his way: "How many times do you want me to say it again, I want to see red smoke!" ”

Luo Zhen spread his hands: "I have made it very clear just now, if you want to see Hongyan, help me kill Li Bu, otherwise don't want to see her." ”

"You let me do things for you, there should always be at least sincerity, right? At least let me see her first, otherwise how will I know if she's dead or alive now? ”

Luo Zhen had a tough attitude: "If you want to see her, you have to accept my conditions just now." ”

"Does Mother know that you do this? Kill someone who once helped you like that, a person like you is not destined to be an emperor. ”

Luo Zhen motioned for him to look behind him, and behind him stood Xie Mu, Xie Mu heard their conversation just now, but she didn't speak, and she didn't even stop Luo Xu.

Xie Yin was already disappointed in these two, he looked at Mother Xie, and finally laughed: "Is he the only son in your eyes?" Hongyan respects you and listens to you, and she tries her best to do everything you command, but in the end, she ends up like this, even if she is not born to you, don't you feel a little guilty and distressed about her? ”

Xie Mu shook her head indifferently: "She shouldn't do anything wrong, she must be punished for doing something wrong, she knows this better than anyone else." ”

"What about me? Am I your own son? ”

"Of course."

"You heard what he just asked me to do, so you just watched your own son die? Don't blink? ”

Even though Mother Xie is opposed to what Luo Zhen asked Xie Yin to do, as a younger brother, he has the responsibility to do something for his brother, and only when they really experience this, can they be regarded as a family.

Xie Yin didn't have to wait for her to answer, he smiled and said, "I understand." ”

Xie Mu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xie Yin before she could speak.

"I agreed to your request, can you let me go to see Hongyan now?"

Luo Zhen asked the guards around him to take Xie Yin to see Hongyan, and before leaving, Xie Yin said to Xie's mother: "We will never become a family." ”

When Xie Mu came back to her senses and turned her head, Xie Yin was gone.

Hongyan was locked up in the water prison that her family used to punish traitors, and she had killed many people in this water prison, but when she killed, she never imagined that one day she would be a prisoner and be locked up here.

After being locked up, she thought a lot, but most of the time she was reflecting, reflecting on her own rights and wrongs.

She never thought about this before, she did whatever her mother asked her to do, she felt that it was for her family and her brother, so everything was worth it.

She also knew about the big shopkeeper refining incense with the blood of girls at the beginning, and she was deeply disgusted, and even wanted to kill the big shopkeeper to rescue those girls, but Mother Xie had warned her not to interfere, they couldn't control what other people did business, as long as the big shopkeeper could "pay tribute" on time, the money could be sent to Luo Xu's pocket in time, and nothing else mattered.

Hongyan really couldn't hold back and didn't intervene at that time, but she hadn't learned to reflect at that time, otherwise she should have seen through Xie Mu's cold-bloodedness from that time on, and she should have gotten out of this whole thing as soon as possible.

Now she knows that she is not Xie's mother's daughter, and she knows that what she did is wrong from beginning to end, and even the idea of seeking death popped up for a moment.

But...... Death is the work of a coward, and she can't die except that running away doesn't solve the problem.

There was no light in the water prison, it was very dark, her eyes adapted to the light here, after the cell door was opened, a large amount of light poured in, she was stabbed and couldn't open her eyes, and she couldn't see who was coming, until Xie Yin's voice came: "Red smoke!" ”

"Xie Yin?" She was surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

As the name suggests, the dungeon is built on water, and Red Smoke is kept in the middle of a round platform that can only be used to sit on, and a few crocodiles can be faintly seen swimming around the water around her.
