Inn.

"Knock knock—"

Hua Li frowned, Lu Li and the others had just left, and Xiao Er had just left, who was knocking on the door again at this time?

Just as he was thinking, the knock on the door sounded again, and it sounded like something very important. Hua Li hesitated for a moment, then got up and walked to the door, but did not open the door, but asked, "Who?" ”

"It's me, Lord Warley."

It was the voice of the envoy's personal guard.

Hua Li pulled down his face, "What are you doing here?" ”

Since he moved out of the inn, the envoy has never inquired about his movements, let alone sent someone to visit him. And at this time, he sent guards to come, presumably there must be something to ask for him, and then contact Lu Lifang to say what he said, Hua Li already had a rough idea in his heart.

Presumably, when they heard the news of the king's arrival soon, the envoys were also anxious.

"Lord Huali, after you moved out of the post house, the envoy was very worried. No, the envoy specially inquired about your address from Lord Mao Zhiyuan Mao, and sent a humble post to visit. The guard's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, but unfortunately, it still did not impress Huali.

He said coldly: "No need, I'm doing well these days." But I'm tired now, and I don't have the time or energy to receive you, so you can go back. ”

"Lord Huali." The guard was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "The humble post is also ordered to come, if you can't see Lord Huali, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go back, and I hope that Lord Huali will understand and let the humble post in." ”

Huali has always been a soft-hearted person, listening to the guard's words, the original firm heart couldn't help but shake, he thought: After all, he is a person of a country, and this guard is also obedient to the envoys, if he is punished because of himself, then he will not be happy in his heart.

So, Holley took a deep breath, put his hand on the doorknob, and opened the door.

But unexpectedly, there were envoys outside the door!

Holley, who reacted very quickly, was about to close the door immediately, but the guards were one step ahead of him. This inn is a remote place, and the furnishings in the house are a little old, not to mention that this thin wooden door can't resist the resistance of the guards and Huali.

Hua Li gritted his teeth and resisted for a while, but in the end, he couldn't resist the better guards, so he had to open the door.

However, Rao let the envoy enter the door, and he still didn't have a good face, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Lord Polerick lives in a place like this?" The envoy looked at him left and right, and looked around at Huali's residence, looking at the simple bed, the tables, chairs and benches with paint peeling, and the shoddy teacups, etc., which looked really bitter, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect that Lord Huali in the past would live in such a place now, it's really pitiful!" ”

Hua Li sat down straight, regardless of the courtesy, he had a dark face, the corners of his mouth glanced down, and he did not look at the envoy, but stared at the window in front of him, and said coldly: "The envoy has something to say, my vulgar and humble place cannot accommodate a big Buddha like you." ”

Since they have a request for the other party, the envoy naturally does not care about the other party's attitude.

He found a relatively clean chair and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and said slowly: "The king has entered the territory of Donglan and will soon arrive in Shangjing, you should know about this matter, right?" ”

However, this question did not seem to be answered by Huali, because soon, the envoy said: "The king sent you and me here, not only to make peace with relatives, but also to seek better business cooperation, but because you found the wrong person, you angered the other party, and the peace affair that harmed me was also forced to cancel." Holley, have you figured out how to explain to the king? ”

Hua Li got up, his eyes widened with anger, the red blood in his eyes was visible, and he pointed at the envoy unceremoniously, "Obviously, you angered the Guogong family and harmed the emperor to cancel the harmony, now why are you reversing right and wrong and blaming all the fault on me?!" ”

"Don't be in a hurry." Compared with Hua Li's indignation, the envoy seemed unusually calm, and even a little relaxed and comfortable, he took a sip of tea without hurry, lowered his eyes, and said: "The key is not what the facts are, but what the king thinks the facts are." ”

Hearing this, Hua Li couldn't help frowning, staring at the other party, waiting for the envoy's next words.

"You know, I have always had correspondence with the king. Now that the king is about to arrive in Shangjing, I must write a letter to tell me about the king's recent situation. The envoy hooked his lips and smiled, and said slowly: "The contract I drew up with Holley angered Su Xiaoman, and the other party made a big fuss about the matter and told the emperor, and the emperor canceled the harmony. ”

After speaking, the envoy raised his head and looked at Hua Li, smiled slightly, he touched the mustache on his chin, and said with a smile: "That's the way it is, right?" ”

Holley was already extremely angry, but not as angry as Fang Cai. He thought that the purpose of the envoy's sudden visit was now finally understood, and the envoy deliberately pulled himself into the water so that he could stand on the same side as him! Blame all the faults on Su Xiaoman!

Fortunately, Lu was one step away from the envoy, otherwise Holley would really be forced to succumb to the envoy due to the situation!

He gritted his back molars, stared at the envoy with a smile, and sneered: "The envoy has a good calculation!" It's a pity that the envoy thinks that everything is in his own hands, and he is too conceited! ”

"What do you mean?" The envoy, who had been calm, suddenly showed a hint of panic, and he got up suddenly, staring at the other party, and his hands hanging at his side gradually clenched.

"What is going on, I will tell the king the truth!" Hua Li shook his sleeves and turned around, turned his back to the envoy, and said coldly: "I will never let you deceive the king!" ”

The envoy became more and more flustered, and his voice trembled slightly, "Huali! You've got to think it through! We are the people of one country! Now that the matter is here, if you don't help me, forget it, and still poke me? Holley, are you crazy! The king can now think that you and I have made a mistake together! ”

Unexpectedly, this Holley would... I didn't even listen to my own words!

Not to mention the envoys, even the guards on the side were a little flustered, he looked at Hua Li nervously, the hand hanging by his side slowly moved up, and quietly grasped the saber at his waist.

At the moment when the guard held the saber, Hua Li turned around suddenly, and the guard panicked, and hurriedly removed his hand, pretending to be indifferent.

Fortunately, Hua Li never noticed the abnormality of the guards, and still stared at the envoys, without any forgiveness under his mouth: "I said, this matter has nothing to do with me, you can say whatever you like, anyway, I can't let the king be deceived by you villain!" ”

"It's late!" The envoy's face tightened, his lips tightly pursed together, and he looked like he had died together, "I have already written to inform the king of this matter, don't you want to make a difference with this matter!" Don't even want to leave me alone with all the mistakes! ”

The envoy became more and more crazy, and Hua Li became more and more calm, "Okay, since the king already knows, then you know, I am indeed wrong, and I am willing to bear all my mistakes." ”

After speaking, he leaned over slightly, made a gesture of "please", and did not look at the envoy, "Please come back first, my lord, I am tired and need to rest." ”

"Holley! Did you understand what I was saying? The envoy was so angry that he waved his arms with his teeth and claws, and shouted: "I command you! Obey my command, and you must make the king think! This matter is Su Xiaoman's fault! Do you understand?! ”

"Understood." Hua Li still maintained his previous posture, calm as water: "So, can the envoy leave now?" ”

Seeing Hua Li's refusal to cooperate, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the other party's collar, trembling his hands to choke the other party's neck, but because he was so angry that he was numb, and his feet were trembling and unstable, so he just touched Hua Li's neck, and was thrown out by the other party.

There was a "bang", and the minister collapsed heavily on the floor of the inn.

The guard rushed forward, drew his sword and shouted: "Huali! What do you want! Murder of court officials?! What a guts! ”

Seeing this, Hua Li suddenly laughed, "Okay, what a play!" ”

"You!" The guard rushed forward with an arrow, raised the knife in his hand, and with a light turn, he put the sharp blade on Hua Li's neck.

The distance between the cold and sharp blade and Hua Li's neck was no more than a hair strand, and Hua Li could even feel the coldness of the blade, and he couldn't help but shiver, and his body trembled with it.

The guard held Hua Li, and the hand holding the knife was very steady, and the distance never changed. He said: "Hua Li, it's too late for you to regret it now, whether you want to die in Donglan, a remote and humble inn, or cooperate with the envoy and return to Canglan in style, you choose!" ”

The envoy on the ground did not get up, but just changed to a more decent posture, raised his head and looked at Hua Li coldly.

Hua Li took a deep breath, then slowly relaxed his body, and shifted his gaze to the envoy, a little helpless: "Your Excellency, why do you want to make things such an embarrassing situation?" ”

"Holley, you don't have to go around the bend and stall for time, I'll ask you, what the hell are you-"

Before he finished speaking, the door of the inn was kicked open, and several masked men with athletic skills rushed in, and soon surrounded the guards and envoys.

In the face of the masked man who broke through the door and did not know him, the guard's hand trembled rarely, and the envoy also got up in a panic, took three steps and made two steps to the guard's side, clasped his hands on the other's shoulders, and looked around tremblingly.

The small room was full of masked people, and they all looked athletic, and the guards alone were no match for them!

The envoy's voice trembled, and he begged Hua Li while observing the surroundings, "Hua Li, let them all go out, we won't embarrass you, let's leave immediately, let these people go......"

"But... But I don't know them! Holley was also very confused.
