Chapter 194: Double Agent
Luo Ming asked Da Lao Yuan to come over to remind him kindly, but Gu Huanli looked like he didn't care, which really annoyed him.
"Gu Huanli, can you not always put on this picture of not being afraid of heaven and earth, if one day he really charges you with a chaotic minister and thief, just by virtue of your reputation in the court, how many people do you think will stand on your side?"
Although Luo Mingrang's tone was cold and not so excited that he jumped to his feet, every word was like a sharp blade that went straight into Gu Huanli's shortcomings, which made Lu Xuan, who was standing on the side, really stunned.
Lu Xuan had always thought that his performance in front of Gu Huanli was already disrespectful, but now that he saw Luo Mingrang calling him by name and saying such ruthless words, what he did before was really not worth mentioning in comparison.
But even when Luo Mingrang said this, Gu Huanli did not show a trace of annoyance, but laughed even more contemptuously:
"Your Majesty is used to listening to slander, and now it must be the prince picking quarrels and provoking trouble, Your Majesty is not ignorant of the relationship between the king and the prince, but now he is just temporarily angered by his words, and after calming down, he naturally knows that what the prince said is not the truth, so he will not take it to heart."
Gu Huanli said lightly, but Luo Mingrang didn't think so, and then shook his head to veto his conjecture: "This time the matter of instigating Your Majesty to suspect you may really have nothing to do with the crown prince." ”
Hearing this, the smile on Gu Huanli's face instantly dissipated, and before he could ask, Lu Xuan rushed in front of him and whispered, "Could it be King Chang?" ”
Such a short sentence instantly attracted Luo Mingrang's attention, and he immediately turned his head to look at Lu Xuan: "How can you, a little foreign official, know about such a secret matter?" ”
Gu Huanli was originally unsure, but seeing that Luo Mingrang's expression was really King Chang, he didn't have to ask more.
was asked by Luo Mingrang like this, Lu Xuan didn't know how to explain to him for a while, so he simply spoke directly to Gu Huanli: "I think this matter may have been instigated by Li Ce." ”
Luo Mingrang didn't know who Li Ce was, so now when he heard Lu Xuan and Gu Huanli mention it, he was also confused.
However, Luo Mingrang has always been silent, and he has no intention of inquiring about things he doesn't know, so he just stands silently and listens to the two continue.
Originally, Gu Huanli didn't have much hostility towards Li Ce, but as the imperial uncle of King Chang, he also knew a little about his consistent style of doing things.
King Chang has never learned and has no skills, and his martial arts are also like a reckless man in the mountains, so he has never been reused by Emperor Liang Qin.
Previously, King Chang had always regarded the crown prince as a thorn in his side, if it weren't for someone instigating him, Gu Huanli really couldn't imagine why this straw bag would suddenly shift the target to himself.
Although Gu Huanli thought so in his heart, his face was still indifferent, and he even had the heart to laugh-
"It's really rare that the two brothers, King Chang and the crown prince, can have the same hatred one day in their lifetimes."
Lu Xuan sometimes really didn't understand Gu Huanli's sudden humor, and she couldn't help but admire his broad-mindedness when she could say so lightly about the two people who joined forces against her.
Luo Mingrang has been with Gu Huanli for a long time, and he has long known about him, so he naturally doesn't want to bother to persuade him to say less of these cool words, so he just mocked him seriously and asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”
Gu Huanli raised his lips and smiled when he heard this: "What else can I do if my belly and back are attacked by the enemy?" ”
This was as if he was going to give up resistance, but fortunately, the other two people present at the moment knew that this was not Gu Huanli's usual style.
Sure enough, he was silent for a moment, and saw a gloomy look on Gu Huanli's face instantly, and then hooked the corners of his lips:
"It seems that this king's good nephew has grown some skills in Linchuan Mansion in the past few months, and he must be taught by this king himself."
Lu Xuan didn't even have to listen to what Gu Huanli said, just seeing his murderous expression at the moment, he knew that there must be King Chang and Li Ce and others looking good next.
Luo Mingrang didn't ask much, anyway, his coming here was just a reminder, and how to deploy it was still Gu Huanli's own business, and it was inconvenient for him to interfere more.
Gu Huanli pondered for a while, stretched out his hand and patted Luo Mingrang's shoulder: "Thank you for coming to remind this king this time." ”
Luo Mingrang shook off Gu Huanli's hand on his shoulder with an indifferent face: "Don't pretend in front of me, just say what you need me to do, it's inconvenient for me to stay here for a long time." ”
Seeing that Luo Mingrang saw through his thoughts at a glance, Gu Huanli no longer came to him with these vain, and then said to him seriously: "This king does have one thing that needs Luo Zhen's envoy to do it for him. ”
After saying that, Gu Huanli immediately attached it to Luo Mingrang's ear.
Lu Xuan stood aside, and she didn't know if Gu Huanli's move was intentionally avoiding herself, anyway, she had done her best not to eavesdrop, and she could still hear it clearly, so she could only blame him for not being quiet.
was attached to Gu Huanli and said it in his ear, Luo Mingrang also understood what he meant, and then turned around and left.
Gu Huanli then looked at Lu Xuan, who was full of suspicion: "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask." He sat back into his comfortable chair as he spoke.
Only then did Lu Xuan tentatively speak: "That Lord Luo just now is ......?"
"Dongchang North Town, Fu Si Zhen Fu Envoy." Gu Huanli responded directly, and then asked Lu Xuan rhetorically: "Why, did Lu Lingshi not hear it clearly, or did he not know much about this position?" ”
On the contrary, Lu Xuan heard it clearly, and she also understood this position clearly, and it was precisely because of this that she had this question.
Lu Xuan immediately shook his head, and then expressed the concerns in his heart: "The lower official heard that the Dongchang North Town Fu Division is His Majesty's secret cabinet, and he made a special trip to investigate confidential matters for His Majesty, why does that Lord Fu Fu seem to have a deep relationship with His Royal Highness?" ”
Gu Huanli shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and said disapprovingly: "Is there anything strange about this? ”
Isn't that strange? Lu Xuan asked this in his heart, but he was silent.
Gu Huanli then explained in detail: "Luo Mingrang is a son inheriting his father's business, and the Luo family has been trusted by His Majesty since he beat his father, so His Majesty has been convinced of what he said over the years, and this secret investigation of this king naturally fell on him." ”
"But ......" Lu Xuan was puzzled, but Luo Mingrang was clearly carrying Emperor Liang Qin behind his back to send information to Gu Huan and ask him to be vigilant, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like his person.
Although there are many people in the court who have been subdued by Gu Huanli, from the six ministers to the nine rank officials, they are all in awe of him, where is there anyone who speaks to him like Luo Mingrang?
Lu Xuan felt strange no matter how he thought about it, Gu Huanli explained: "This king has been familiar with Luo Mingrang before he returned to Shengjing City, and although he has been separated for a while due to various reasons, he is still as close as when he was a child, but he has always been a dull person, and he has never moved around too much with this king, so he has not let others notice the relationship between this king and him." ”
These two people were playmates when they were young, so it's no wonder they speak so openly.
In this way, Lu Xuan can understand that Luo Mingrang, as the envoy of the Fusi of Dongchang North Town, abides by his duty to do things for Emperor Liang Qin.
But Luo Mingrang is Gu Huanli's best friend, so this time he was ordered by Emperor Liang Qin to find Gu Huanli's head, and out of selfishness, he still came to remind him with good intentions.
Lu Xuan thought so, but her thoughts seemed to be a little simple, and she saw Gu Huanli silent for a while and then spoke to her:
"In fact, over the years, His Majesty has suspected this king not once or twice, Luo Mingrang has come to investigate this king thoroughly on the orders of His Majesty before, but he prevaricated the past, and over time, this king has become accustomed to it."
When Gu Huanli said this, although his face was calm and light-hearted, his merits were not only not used in praise, but he was targeted and guarded against everywhere, and he must have felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a little distressed, but Gu Huanli suddenly showed a relieved smile on his face:
"Fortunately, Luo Ming let this kid help him everywhere, and over the years, he has informed this king of all the suspicious things of His Majesty, so that this king can turn evil into good fortune again and again."
Hearing Gu Huanli say this, Lu Xuan completely understood, daring to love this Luo Mingrang is a double agent, helping Emperor Liang Qin to investigate Gu Huanli, and monitoring Emperor Liang Qin for Gu Huanli.
In this way, they can all mix well around the two big shots, Emperor Liang Qin and Gu Huanli, thinking that Luo Ming must be even more difficult than Lu Xuan imagined.
But it doesn't matter, at least it's certain that his heart is still on Gu Huanli's side, as long as it's his own person, it's not simple, it's not simple.
After learning about Luo Mingrang's identity, Lu Xuan asked Gu Huanli with a worried face: "Now that it has been confirmed that the person who instigated His Highness to suspect His Highness behind his back is King Chang, what does His Highness plan to do with it?" ”
Gu Huanli hesitated for a moment and raised his lips and smiled: "It's just a reckless man, don't be afraid, this king is now quite interested in Li Ce, who can arouse the fighting spirit of King Chang." ”
It seems that without waiting for Lu Xuan to make a move, Gu Huanli will take action against Li Ce, so it is okay, the sooner Li Ce is eliminated, she will be able to worry about Lu for one less day.
It's just that Li Ce is the enemy of the Lu Mansion after all, if he doesn't see him alive and dead, Lu Xuan will waste the opportunity to be reborn in this life.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan immediately solemnly leaned down towards Gu Huanli: "I also ask Your Highness to hand over the heavy responsibility of punishing Li Ce to the lower officials." ”
Lu Xuan's face was indignant when she said this, Gu Huanli could feel the resentment burning in her heart just by looking at her expression, although it didn't come from nowhere, it was really impossible to refuse.
Seeing that Lu Xuan wanted to get rid of Li Ce several times, Gu Huanli simply fulfilled her: "It's okay, you just have to do it your own way, and inform Qin Xiao at any time if necessary." ”
