Chapter 307: The Rival Present
"By the way, the hundred-year-old patriarch of the Luo Lin Bai clan left me a secret decree before leaving, saying that he would hand it over to His Royal Highness the Fierce King in person, and specially instructed him to avoid people's eyes and ears, at this time the night is thick, I think it is a good time to come, I don't know if Ah Xuan can take me to the brother's mansion conveniently?" Rong Li made a request to Lu Xuan.
Previously, Rong Li had always opposed Lu Xuan's dealings with Gu Huanli, but after coming back this time, his attitude seemed to have changed greatly, and his previous prejudice against Gu Huanli had also decreased a lot.
In fact, there is nothing inconvenient, since Rong Li said that this matter is very important, Lu Xuan naturally said that he would take him away this way.
Lu Xuan nodded immediately, and the two of them set off immediately.
At that time, Gu Huanli was still thinking about when it would be safest to see Lu Xuan.
Originally, let her know about this kind of thing as soon as possible, and it was better to make her happy as soon as possible, but thinking that she had just experienced a life-and-death catastrophe, she must be busy with a family reunion at this time, so he didn't bother her.
didn't expect Gu Huanli to go to Lu Xuan, but she came to the door by herself, and picked such a late hour, with a person who had never been kind to him behind her.
"Your Highness, Lord Lu and Young Master Rong are here." The guards came in to report, which was exactly what Gu Huanli wanted, but what did he do if he was just lying?
Gu Huanli didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately ordered someone to invite Lu Xuan in.
"It's so late, how could Governor Lu come to this palace?" Gu Huanli pretended to be dignified and asked Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan took a step to the side, shifting his main attention to Rong Li.
"It's not that I want to see His Highness, but my cousin has something important to find His Highness." Lu Xuan said this, and Gu Huanli's face immediately became cold: "What, what's the matter with Gongzi Rong?" ”
Only then did Rong lie step forward and take out a bright yellow holy decree from his arms, but it didn't seem to be from Emperor Liang Qin's generation.
As a member of the royal family, Gu Huanli recognized at a glance that this was not a thing from this dynasty, and his sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning: "This holy decree has passed for two generations, how can it be in the hands of Young Master Rong?" ”
"This is entrusted by the patriarch of the Luolin Bai clan, please be sure to hand it over to His Highness." Tolerance lies in response.
The Luo Lin Bai clan has been studying the art of immortality for many years, and its patriarch Bai Yi is over 100 years old, so it is not surprising that he can obtain the holy decree of the previous generation with his qualifications.
It's just that since it is a holy decree, why not hand it over to the current saint, but to put it in the hands of Gu Huanli? He was puzzled, and then half-convinced and spread out the holy decree.
The content inside made Gu Huanli, who had always been indifferent, have a shocked look on his face.
Even ordinary people don't dare to peep at the content, so Lu Xuan and Rong Li can only observe Gu Huanli's reaction.
But Gu Huanli had a look on her face that even Lu Xuan had never seen, which made her unable to guess.
Lu Xuan didn't dare to ask more, until Gu Huanli raised his eyes and looked at Rong Li: "Is the origin of this holy decree reliable?" ”
Rong Lie looked dazed: "I just handed this thing to His Highness on the entrustment of Patriarch Bai, and I don't know anything about the rest, if Your Highness wants to find out, I'm afraid I will have to go to Patriarch Bai in person." ”
Hearing Rong Li's answer, Gu Huanli couldn't help but show a look that might be called panic, in short, it didn't match his face.
Only then did Lu Xuan muster up the courage to ask Gu Huanli, "But what's wrong with the content of this holy decree?" Why does Your Highness look like this? ”
Asked by Lu Xuan, Gu Huanli forcibly suppressed the expression on his face, and returned to his previous indifferent appearance, and then shook his head at her: "It's nothing, royal affairs, you don't have to be involved." ”
Having said that, with Lu Xuan's understanding of Gu Huanli, if it was really as easy as he said, he would not be like this, but he was unwilling to say that there must be his reason, and no one could ask.
Gu Huanli then rolled up the holy decree and handed it to Lin Wei, ordering him to keep it and not allow anyone to see the contents, but the more he reacted like this, the more suspicious Lu Xuan became.
Seeing that Lu Xuan's face was uneasy, just to divert her attention, Gu Huanli immediately took a step closer to her: "You came just in time, this king also has something to look for you, come with this king." ”
Gu Huanli didn't wait for Lu Xuan to react and pulled her away, Rong Lie was in place for a while, and he didn't know whether to follow for a while, seeing the backs of the two of them leave his sight, he shook his head helplessly, and then sat down on the side.
"Your Highness, where are you taking me?" Lu Xuan was picked up by Gu Huanli in the middle of the night and left, and the place she went to was still where she had never been before, and she couldn't help but feel a little panicked in her heart.
Lu Xuan has also been here many times, and even lived here for a few days, it can be said that she has seen every corner here, but Gu Huanli took her a road that he had never walked before.
This seems to be a basement, I don't know how many steps I walked before coming down, it was cold and dark inside, and I couldn't see my fingers, if it wasn't for Gu Huanli leading in front, Lu Xuan didn't know how many heels he would have fallen.
This was the first time, Lu Xuan was still worried when she followed behind Gu Huanli, until both feet fell to the flat ground and she was no longer led to the steps to be tempted, and her heart calmed down. Chase the book
"Where is this?" Lu Xuan's eyes were dark, and she even spoke in a very low voice.
Only then did Gu Huanli speak to her: "Don't be afraid, there is this king." ”
Hearing his voice, although she said something that Lu Xuan already knew, and her tone was cold and complemented the environment here, she really couldn't help but relax a little in her heart.
Gu Huanli could feel Lu Xuan's fear, so even when he went to hold the lamp, he didn't leave her alone, but pulled her along.
There was a candle flame in the darkness, Lu Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked all the way to light up the candlelight, and the heart she had been hanging slowly let go.
It wasn't until he walked somewhere that Gu Huanli stopped, and Lu Xuan couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
"What's wrong with Your Highness?" Lu Xuan cautiously asked Gu Huanli, only to see him turn sideways, his eyes seemed to fall on his sleeve, and she realized that she had been pulling his sleeve and had a few folds, so she quickly let go.
But what Gu Huanli wanted to say was not this, I saw him turn his head sideways and speak to Lu Xuan: "This king is going to take you to meet someone now, you are ready." ”
Lu Xuan couldn't help but be surprised: "People? Who is so mysterious? ”
Gu Huanli didn't respond, and when he saw Lu Xuan replying to his words, he pulled her up again and walked forward, she was speechless, so what she just said to get ready was just to talk to her?
Lu Xuan followed Gu Huanli and turned another corner in the dim light, only to see a person not far away, who seemed to be trapped in place by an iron lock, although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could feel that he had lost any strength.
After getting closer to see this person's face clearly, Lu Xuan was suddenly shocked: "Li Ce? How did he end up here? ”
Gu Huanli raised his lips and smiled: "How is it?" Is Governor Lu still satisfied with this gift from this king? ”
Gift? According to common sense, you should give people what they like as gifts, how can you send the person you hate the most to you with a chain? It's really a shame for Gu Huan Li to come up with it.
Lu Xuan really didn't know how to answer Gu Huanli's question, so he simply asked him: "Didn't he take refuge in the crown prince?" How could he be caught by His Highness? ”
Only then did Gu Huanli respond: "I think that the previous strategy to hollow out the king's power while you were in danger was probably what he told the prince." ”
As soon as he heard Gu Huanli say this, Lu Xuan understood the reason for this-"So the plan was revealed, and without my identity as a handle, the prince drove him out?" ”
Gu Huanli nodded: "It's strange that he was unlucky, and he happened to be bumped into by Lin Wei." ”
This luck is really bad, but what's the matter with his weak appearance at the moment?
Lu Xuan immediately raised his eyes and looked at Gu Huanli: "His Royal Highness tortured him?" Why is he like this? ”
Gu Huanli smiled contemptuously when he heard this: "This king is only hungry for two meals, and the matter of torture has to wait for you." ”
"Me?" Lu Xuan was shocked, the person was captured by Gu Huanli, and things like torture and waiting were his strengths, why did he hand over people to her at this time?
Seeing Lu Xuan's reaction, Gu Huanli subconsciously shrugged his shoulders: "This king thinks that there is a deep hatred between you and him, and he has always wanted to catch him for revenge." ”
These are all things from the previous life, because she didn't know how to explain it, Lu Xuan kept it hidden, but she didn't expect it to be in Gu Huanli's eyes, and she specially arrested someone for her revenge.
Now that Li Ce has tasted the taste of having nothing and falling into hell, it is time to put all the suffering he suffered in his previous life on him, Lu Xuan fell into deep thought.
"Well, have you figured out what to do with him?" Rong Luxuan thought for a while before Gu Huanli asked her.
She then nodded: "Then please ask Your Highness to do it for you and give him back three knives for me." ”
Li Ce, who had been groggy all the time, came to his senses instantly when he heard this, and only then did he see the person in front of him clearly.
"Lu Xuan? Did you tell him to arrest me? What do you want to do? Li Ce's attitude towards Lu Xuan is still disgusting, if it weren't for the revenge for Lu Xuan, Gu Huanli would have killed him a long time ago, and he would have polluted his eyes.
However, the harder Li Ce's mouth was, the more interested Gu Huanli was in telling him to shut up, and the corners of his mouth immediately hooked: "Don't say it's three knives, even if it's three thousand knives, this king has a lot of knives." ”
Gu Huanli's words and his gloomy eyes, combined with his usual style, simply scared Li Ce enough, and he immediately trembled and dodged: "I warn you not to come nonsense, you will go to prison if you take people's lives." ”
"Jail?" Gu Huanli snorted coldly, he almost suspected that Li Ce was stupid in this place, and he couldn't even tell who he was talking to at the moment.
But when Li Ce was most frightened, Lu Xuan spoke again: "Just three knives, not much one." ”
