"Bet? What to bet on? The woman in red was surprised.

I saw Gu Huanli raise his lips and smile: "Just bet on whether King Chang will abandon you without hesitation in the face of selfish desires." ”

Hearing this, the woman in red couldn't help but feel a wave of panic on her face, as if she had already expected the result of this bet.

After hesitating for a while, she nodded, and looked at Gu Huanli with a firm expression: "Then what if I win?" ”

"If you win, the king will let you go, and I will never pursue the matter of the eastern suburbs again." Gu Huanli replied, and then put forward his own request: "But if you lose, you have to testify for this king and prove that King Chang raised soldiers and horses privately in the eastern suburbs." ”

The two sides agreed, and Gu Huanli immediately ordered Qin Wei to loosen the ties of the woman in red and bring her to the post house to heal her injuries, so as to witness the outcome of this gambling contract with his own eyes.

The three of them left the secret prison of the Criminal Department at this time, and wanted to go to the woman in red, who was willing to be covered in bruises for a bastard like King Chang, Shen Xixu felt worthless for her.

"I don't know what kind of means King Chang used to let such a good girl destroy her future for him." Shen Xixu sighed secretly.

In a blink of an eye, he remembered what he was thinking when he saw the woman in red, and then walked to Luo Mingrang's side: "So you originally wanted to arrest her that day, right?" ”

Luo Mingrang understood what Shen Xixu meant, and then nodded, but there was no superfluous explanation.

However, Shen Xixu's anger has decreased a lot: "She is also dressed in red, no wonder you mistook me for her that day, okay, even if the previous thing was a misunderstanding, I don't care about it." ”

Shen Xixu thought that he was generous and planned to reconcile with Luo Mingrang, but he didn't get half a response from the other party, he just continued to move forward indifferently, without the slightest intention of paying attention to her.

Seeing that his dignified county lord took the initiative to take a step back, Luo Mingrang still looked like he didn't know what to do, and Shen Xixu's anger was instantly aroused by him again.

"Hey! Didn't you hear the lord of the county talking to you? Shen Xixu roared angrily at Luo Mingrang, this sudden anger almost startled Gu Huanli who was walking in front.

Luo Mingrang still didn't react much, just turned around and responded to Shen Xixu with an indifferent face, "The lower official heard it."

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as he said it, Shen Xixu became even more annoyed: "If you don't respond when you hear it, you don't take the county lord in your eyes?" ”

Forced by Shen Xixu to ask like this, Luo Mingrang really didn't know how to answer, so he turned around and walked by himself, but before he could take two steps, he was pulled by his sleeve with little force behind him.

"You stop me, where did I offend you, why do you look like you ignore me every time you talk to me?" Shen Xixu dragged Luo Ming and asked.

If Luo Mingrang was like this to everyone, Shen Xixu would have nothing to say, but he was polite to Lu Xuan in the eastern suburbs before, and he also had questions to answer in front of Gu Huanli, why was he so indifferent in front of her?

Such differential treatment really had to make Shen Xixu wonder if Luo Mingrang had any prejudices against himself.

But in fact, what the reason is, even Luo Mingrang himself is not clear.

Inexplicably, as the envoy of Fusi Town, Xichang North Town, it is not a way to be entangled like this by His Royal Highness the County Lord, so he had to signal Gu Huanli to get out for him.

But Gu Huanli didn't bother to care about such a nossy matter, after all, from childhood to adulthood, what Shen Xixu wanted to achieve was something that no one could stop him, and he naturally didn't want to interfere against him.

Seeing that the two were entangled and couldn't explain clearly, Gu Huanli immediately cleared his throat, and the two coughs caused Luo Mingrang to breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that he was going to relieve himself.

Unexpectedly, Gu Huanli waved his hand at the two of them as if he had nothing to do with himself: "If you still have something to say, please take care of yourself, this king still has important things to do, so he will not accompany him here." ”

After that, no matter how Luo Mingrang reacted, Gu Huanli walked away by himself.

Now that he has reached a gambling contract with Yun Yun, that is, the woman in red who was arrested by the Criminal Department, the next step is to find an opportunity to cash in the gambling contract as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Gu Huanli immediately went back to deploy everywhere, and also contacted Lu Xuan to create an illusion that could lure King Chang to take the bait.

"What? Brother, you are also going to the City God Temple? In the room, Lu Nanjun asked Lu Xuan in surprise.

Lu Xuan hurriedly reminded him to whisper: "Shhh, beware of being listened to by others, this is His Highness's big plan, and it must not be revealed." ”

"But isn't the City God Temple only visited by important officials of the imperial court? In what capacity, brother? Lu Nanjun asked.

Lu Xuan explained: "The important officials of the imperial court just followed His Majesty to pray for the blessing of the country, and I took His Highness's order to go to do an important matter. ”

"His Royal Highness the Fierce King, what did he tell you to do?" Lu Nanjun was puzzled.

Lu Xuan didn't shy away from it, anyway, there were only the two of them in the room right now, so he also told Gu Huanli's plan and plan - "Do you remember the fact that I was framed in the eastern suburbs to raise soldiers and horses privately? ”

Lu Nanjun nodded: "I remember, but hasn't the real murderer behind the scenes been executed by His Majesty?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but snort coldly: "That's just Your Majesty covering for his son, where is there any real murderer, the real murderer is clearly and free." ”

"Brother is saying that the real murderer is the prince?" Lu Nanjun asked Lu Xuan in shock, but he seemed to have an idea in his heart, and then said tentatively:

"The person who insisted on framing my brother was King Chang, could it be that the real manipulator behind this is actually King Chang?"

Lu Xuan nodded: "Exactly, King Chang previously offered his military camp in the eastern suburbs in order to save his life, and His Majesty sent someone to burn it down in order to save him." ”

"Isn't there no proof of death in this way?" Lu Nanjun was indignant for a while.

Lu Xuan showed a faint smile on his face: "Originally, I thought that there was no proof of death, but the sky net was restored, negligent but not leaky, a female leader in the military camp escaped in the fire, Her Royal Highness sent someone to investigate, and she is now in the City God Temple." ”

"But if the people of His Royal Highness the Fierce King find it, won't the people of King Chang also find it? What if they want to go to the Temple of the City God and kill people? Lu Nanjun was worried.

Lu Xuan had a calm face: "His Royal Highness has already sent additional people near the City God Temple, if King Chang dares to commit murder in these days, he will inevitably be caught, and then he will not admit himself." ”

"It is worthy of His Royal Highness the Fierce King, and his mind is really meticulous." Lu Nanjun praised Gu Huanli rarely.

After a pause, he seemed to think of something wrong: "But brother, in two days, the City God Temple will have a national sacrifice, and I am afraid that it will not be good for His Royal Highness the Fierce King to stay there at that time." ”

The national memorial ceremony is a major event in the Liang Dynasty, during which a large number of imperial guards will surround the entire City God Temple to protect the golden body of the Son of Heaven.

When Lu Nanjun said this, Lu Xuan's face suddenly flashed with a trace of worry: "Yes, after the Royal Forest Army arrives at the City God Temple, His Royal Highness's secret guards will be withdrawn." ”

"But if you want to come to such a grand day, King Chang will definitely not be able to leave as a prince, so he shouldn't be so coincidental that he took advantage of this loophole." Lu Xuan comforted himself.

Lu Nanjun also reluctantly accepted, and then asked Lu Xuan: "What does His Royal Highness the Fierce King mean ......when he called his brother to go?"

"That woman's name is Yun Yun, and His Royal Highness ordered me to go this time just to convince me to convince her to expose the true face of King Chang in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and the national memorial ceremony is an excellent opportunity." Lu Xuan said.

At this point in their conversation, there seemed to be a sound of cautious footsteps outside the door, and the sound became weaker and weaker until it disappeared, and it was thought that it should have been far away.

Lu Nanjun breathed a sigh of relief and followed Lu Xuan to the back room: "Sister, she should have heard what we just said, right?" I'm scared to death, I'm afraid I'll show my flaws. ”

Seeing that Lu Nanjun was still so childish in the end, and the mature and meticulous pretending to be like two people, Lu Xuan couldn't help laughing: "Nanjun acted really well." ”

was praised by Lu Xuan like this, not to mention how happy Lu Nanjun was in his heart, but his face was still modest: "It's all taught by Sister A." ”

"But can this strategy really deceive Lu Qingmeng?" Lu Nanjun couldn't help but be a little worried, after all, Lu Qingmeng was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Lu Xuan looked confident, and turned to Lu Nanjun and asked, "Have you ever heard the phrase "care is chaos?" ”

Lu Nanjun nodded, and Lu Xuan explained: "The previous incident of King Chang framing me must have been Lu Qingmeng's advice to him, and now that we have grasped King Chang's handle, we will inevitably implicate her, in order to protect herself, where can she still care about thinking about whether this is our strategy?" ”

Moreover, Lu Qingmeng is now helpless, and King Chang is her only backer, how can she be willing to be defeated in one fell swoop by someone who has finally found this backer?

In her previous life, Lu Qingmeng relied on her understanding of Lu Xuan to attack her weakness everywhere, and in this life, Lu Xuan also knows Lu Qingmeng, where her weakness is, she is naturally clear.

Next, it will be up to Lu Qingmeng to accurately convey everything he heard to King Chang.

In order to help her move smoothly, Lu Xuan also specially found an excuse to pull Lu Nanjun and Cui Shi to drink during dinner.

At that time, Lu Qingmeng was also drunk together, but whether this drunkenness was drunk or pretended, Lu Xuan's heart was like a mirror.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone at the table drank crookedly, and Lu Nanjun was too young to drink and fainted directly.

The rice cake took the people from the house and carried the ancestors back to their respective rooms.

Before leaving, Lu Xuan squinted at Lu Qingmeng with the last trace of sobriety, and saw that she looked unconscious, so she was relieved.

Thinking that everyone in the Lu Mansion is asleep and unimpeded tonight, it must be the best time for Lu Qingmeng to act.
