"Master Hou, come and taste the grapes, this is just shipped back to the south, and it is not easy to find Changxing City now!"

In the middle of the edict, two brocade guards surrounded Xu Rui, one gently beat his shoulder, and the other held a plate of grapes, and earnestly persuaded him to eat a few.

"Well, it's really good, you can still get such good grapes in winter, you Jinyiwei are really powerful!"

Xu Rui tasted a grape, sweet and sour, fragrant on his teeth and cheeks, and couldn't help but sigh sincerely.

The brocade guard holding the grapes smiled and said, "In terms of supernatural powers, how can we compare to you?" Who in the entire Great Wei doesn't know that the good things are in your Tianbao Pavilion, right? ”

"Well, if the supernatural powers are really able to come like this?"

Xu Rui scolded with a smile, took out two silver tickets of one hundred taels from his cuffs and handed them over, and the two brocade guards took the silver tickets, and they were overjoyed when they saw the amount on them.

"Thank you Lord Hou for the reward, thank you Lord Hou!"

"Ahem!!"

At this moment, there was a cough at the door, and the two brocade guards turned their heads to look, only to see that Li Kuang was already standing at the door at some point, with a gloomy expression.

"Big big ...... Adult ......"

The hands of the two brocade guards holding the money stiffened, and their faces suddenly turned pale.

However, Li Kuang didn't see the two of them taking benefits, and just waved their hands to let them all out, and the two of them suddenly seemed to be amnesty, and hurriedly confessed to Xu Rui and fled.

Li Kuang walked to Xu Rui and sat down, this was originally the strictest prison, but now there are tables, chairs, tea tables, and incense in the corner, if it weren't for the iron railing at the door, maybe most people would think it was a study.

"Master Hou has good means, and he is as moisturized as usual when he arrives in prison, and he really has money to make ghosts grind."

Li Kuang smiled faintly.

Xu Rui smiled: "That's thanks to the order of the adults to treat Ben Hou well, otherwise let alone take money, I'm afraid they won't even dare to say a word to me, right?" ”

Li Kuang did not deny it, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup.

Xu Rui was puzzled: "You still dare to bet on me until now, is it because you have received any good news?" ”

Li Kuang shook his head: "There is no good news, but there is a basket of bad news, this time the saint is probably really trying to kill you!" ”

Xu Rui was stunned: "Then why don't you hurry up and get rid of the relationship with me?" ”

Li Kuang laughed and said, "Although our relationship is secret, how can people who should know not know? It's too late to clear the relationship now, and I'm sure you can win! ”

Hearing this, the banter on Xu Rui's face gradually disappeared, and he said seriously: "What happened there in the Holy Lord?" ”

Emperor Hongwei was fine when he analyzed the battle situation all night last night, and even Xu Rui himself couldn't figure out why he suddenly became a prisoner, and if he wanted to save himself in adversity, he had to figure out what was going on.

However, to his disappointment, Li Kuang shook his head gloomily: "I don't know what happened, early this morning, Xiao Xiao, the secretary of the military department, went to the martial arts and returned, entered the palace and talked secretly with the saint for a long time, and then summoned the people from the Ministry of Rites, and then it was like this." ”

"The military department...... Ministry of Rites...... These eight poles can't be beaten...... Could it be that there are foreign countries entering Beijing? But what does this have to do with me? ”

Xu Rui muttered silently a few times but still didn't have a clue, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Who is the person in charge of interrogating me?" ”

Li Kuang shook his head: "No one! ”

"No one?!"

Xu Rui was stunned again.

Li Kuang nodded and said, "Yes, Jinyiwei is only responsible for arresting people, but the saint never mentioned a word about the interrogation!" ”

"Oh?"

Xu Rui's face became more and more solemn, and he asked again, "Can you help me spread some news?" ”

Li Kuang shook his head with a wry smile, pointed to the iron fence at the door and said: "There are four guards behind this thing, which belong to Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Dali Temple and Yulin Army, and there are more guards outside, and there are only a handful of them that I can move." ”

Xu Rui said: "The four people are not subordinate to each other, and they cannot be dispatched in a unified manner, which means that everyone will not be able to cover the sky with one hand." ”

Li Kuang nodded and said: "You are right, not only that, the holy decree I received is to take care of the edict, and now my order is the same as yours, I can no longer get out of this small edict, and from today onwards, the edict is not allowed to enter or leave."

As small as the guy who delivers water and food, to the father-in-law who comes to the palace to deliver the decree, as long as he enters the edict, he will have to be quarantined here for three days before leaving, even if he can take advantage of the loophole to pass on the news, it will be meaningless after three days! ”

"So, I'm cut off from the world?"

Xu Rui asked in surprise.

Li Kuang nodded, and said with emotion: "The saint is the real master, as the so-called snake hit seven inches, as long as you pinch your snake head, no matter how huge your body is, it is easy to clean it up." ”

Xu Rui smiled bitterly: "On the day of the marquis, Qin Zhijian came out to join me on the order of the prince, but the saint did not refute it directly, but exiled him in disguise on the grounds of continuing to investigate the case.

At that time, I knew that this was a hole card left by the saint, so that I could check and balance me at any time, but I didn't expect him to use this hole card so quickly.

In fact, I don't want to say that I am surprised, but what I am most worried about now is Ange them, the huge power is the foundation in the glory, but now it has become a lifeline, once someone really dares to make a mistake for me to go to prison, I am afraid that it will be suppressed by thunderous means immediately. ”

"If you are concerned about yourself, you will be in chaos!"

Li Kuang shook his head and said: "The people you have cultivated over the years are outstanding, don't worry, they know what to do right, you'd better worry about yourself first." ”

Xu Rui shrugged helplessly: "What do I have to worry about?" ”

Li Kuang was stunned: "Aren't you afraid that the Holy Lord will really kill you?" ”

Xu Rui laughed self-deprecatingly: "The saint has put so much effort into it, doesn't he just want me to be helpless, wouldn't it be faster to fight with him at this time?" ”

Li Kuang frowned and said: "What you said is indeed reasonable, but when you also score, do you want to sit still and wait for death?" ”

Xu Rui shook his head and said, "It's impossible to sit still, but don't you think this matter is strange everywhere?" ”

Li Kuang nodded and said, "It's very sudden, no matter who you are, you will feel strange, right?" ”

Xu Rui waved his hand: "I'm not talking about this, but the saint spent so much effort to lock me up, but didn't send someone to interrogate me, but instead used all his energy to cut off my contact with the outside world, don't you think it's strange?" ”

"What's weird?"

Li Kuang said: "If you are not separated from your forces, how will you be cleaned up?" ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "Don't you think this is a kidnapping, and I'm the hostage for ransom?" ”

"Hostages?!"

Li Kuang was stunned again when he heard this: "Joke, the saint is rich all over the world, and he needs to kidnap you in exchange for ransom?"

Besides, at the moment that the army of the Southern Dynasties is pressing, you are the Dinghai Divine Needle in the hands of the Holy Lord, it makes sense that others kidnapped you to blackmail the Holy Lord, what good is the Holy Lord kidnapping you? ”

Xu Rui sighed: "I also think it's strange, I can't figure it out......"

"And what are you going to do now?"

Li Kuang asked.

Xu Rui said: "Wait, since you are a hostage, of course, you can only wait quietly, and wait until the kidnapper tells his plan, so that we can prescribe the right medicine, right?" ”

Li Kuang smiled bitterly: "According to what you said, you are a hostage, but we don't know if the kidnappers really made a price, don't forget, now you and I are blind, and we don't know anything about the situation outside." ”

When Xu Rui heard this, he rubbed his sore temples, and a trace of helplessness flashed on his face.

In the East Palace, a small eunuch hurried along the porch into a secret room.

"Prince, play around...... I figured it out, what happened in the palace, and why Xu Rui was suddenly imprisoned by His Majesty's edict has finally been figured out! ”
