Chapter 400: I Did It
Li Zhenxiao hesitated.
At this time, Li Yong said: "Father, I think the fourth brother is right, he is the person who knows Xiao Lingwei best, and he has a greater chance of catching Xiao Lingwei than others." ”
Li Zhenxiao looked at it in surprise, in his impression, the two brothers have always had different opinions, but today they have united the front, which is really strange.
Li Yong straightened his back, calmly faced Li Zhenxiao's gaze, and remembered what happened before, and his heart couldn't help but surge.
At that time, he had just learned of what had happened in the morning, and he was terrified, and he hurriedly sent people to recover the gifts he had ordered to send to the Xiao Mansion. At this time, Li Xuan came.
"Brother should know about the court, right? I'm going to ask my father for orders to arrest Xiao Lingwei, if you help me speak and let me win this task, I won't compete with you for the position of prince. Li Xuan didn't say half a word of nonsense, and directly said the reason straight to the point.
Li Yong had no reason not to agree, so the two came with him.
Seeing that Li Zhenxiao didn't speak for a long time, Li Xuan decided to increase the weight: "Father, I know that there have been a lot of voices in the court asking you to make a prince early. You now only have two sons, my brother and me, and the son is not virtuous, but he also wants to fight for the position of the prince. ”
What did he say?
Li Yong looked at Li Xuan in disbelief, he wanted to compete for the position of prince? That's not what he said before he came. Li Yong immediately felt that he was being tricked by Li Xuan, and his face was extremely ugly.
Li Zhenxiao was also surprised, no one dared to say in front of the emperor that he wanted to be the crown prince, because since ancient times, the emperor has been very taboo for the princes to fight to the death for the position of prince. Although this phenomenon has never gone away, the semblance of peace is still maintained.
But Li Xuan dared to say this kind of thing, which just shows that he is telling the truth, and he dares to face his innermost desires.
He is very brave and honest, and he deserves to be his son of Li Zhenxiao.
At this time, Li Zhenxiao already believed what Li Xuan said in his heart, but he still had to test it: "Xiao Lingwei is your junior sister, you two childhood sweethearts, you have a good relationship, are you willing to arrest her and kill her?" ”
Finally came, Li Xuan said the reason he had thought of a long time ago: "I don't dare to deceive my father, I used to be slightly nice to Xiao Ling, just because she is the favored daughter of the Xiao family, and the most beloved granddaughter of General Yang, and Mr. Pei's favorite disciple, so I will get close to her in every possible way to improve my status."
"That's why my father is impressed with me, isn't it?"
Li Zhenxiao was silent, it was true.
"Now Xiao Lingwei is of no use to me at all, why am I reluctant? My father taught me from a young age that I can do whatever it takes to achieve my goals, and that's what I do now. I will capture Xiao Lingwei to prove my ability to my father.
"If I can't catch Xiao Lingwei, I will withdraw from the competition for the prince, and from now on, I will honestly assist my brother and open up a prosperous world for my father." ”
These words were sincere, and Li Zhenxiao completely believed him: "Okay, this matter will be left to you with full responsibility, and I will send a few more people to help you." ”
In this way, Li Xuan successfully took over this task.
After walking out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Li Yong immediately asked Li Xuan: "Why did you go back on your word?"
Li Xuan said lightly: "Brother has time to question me, it is better to pray that I fail." ”
"You... Vile. Li Yong was anxious, and a sharp pain in his chest suddenly came.
He clutched his chest and secretly swore in his heart: No, he must not let Li Xuan catch Xiao Lingwei and make meritorious contributions in front of his father.
Pingfu couldn't look at it, and couldn't help but say: "Young Master Xiao, our master has no malicious intentions, you don't have to be so nervous." ”
Xiao Linhui gently pushed Xiao Lingfeng away: "Lingfeng, it's okay." ”
He said to Li Xuan again: "Come with me." ”
Xiao Linhui and Yang Huijun led Li Xuan to the inner room.
Xiao Lingfeng was not at ease, so he said to Xiao Lingyun: "You take care of them, I'll take a look." With that, he followed.
When they arrived in the inner room, Li Xuan lowered his voice and said to them: "Sixth uncle, sixth uncle, Your Majesty has sent people to search Weiwei throughout the city, and people have also been sent outside the city, and now they are searching from house to house.
"If you know Weiwei's whereabouts, tell me, and I'll find a way to help her escape from the capital."
Xiao Linhui opened her mouth, and as soon as she said the word "she", she was pressed down by Yang Huijun.
Yang Huijun quietly glared at him, turned his head to Li Xuan and said, "Your Highness is laughing, our old lady has expelled Xiao Lingwei from the Xiao Mansion, and she is not our daughter, how can we know her whereabouts."
"Besides, she is now a thief, and everyone is afraid to avoid her, how can we harbor her? If we had known her whereabouts, we would have spoken out and gone to claim the bounty. ”
After speaking, she looked at Xiao Linhui: "Master, right?" ”
Xiao Linhui nodded heavily under her gaze: "Yes, that's right." ”
Li Xuan is not a fool, so he naturally knows that they are engaged in a lawsuit, "Sixth uncle, sixth uncle, don't lie to me, I am saving Weiwei, if others find her before me, she will only have a dead end."
"You don't know, Your Majesty has laid a net of heaven and earth, as long as she appears, she will definitely die."
Xiao Linhui and Yang Huijun's faces turned pale.
"Now only I can save her, sixth uncle, sixth uncle, you should know, from childhood to adulthood, how I have been to Weiwei, I have never harmed Weiwei, you believe me, I will definitely save her." Please, tell me. ”
Looking at the anxiety on Li Xuan's face and the pleading in his eyes, Yang Huijun was moved, and was about to speak, when Xiao Lingfeng walked in.
"Your Highness doesn't need to ask anymore, we no longer have anything to do with Xiao Lingwei, nor do we have any contact, we don't know her whereabouts." Xiao Lingfeng's face was expressionless, and his tone was cold: "If we know the clues, we will definitely go to the yamen to report the case, assist the government in arresting the thief, and receive a bounty, maybe we can also seal the marquis of ten thousand households." ”
Speaking of "anti-thief", "bounty" and "marquis of ten thousand households", he accentuated his tone, which sounded particularly sarcastic.
Li Xuan was speechless, he knew them too well, the most united room in the Xiao family's six-room Xiao Mansion, as long as anyone bullied the people in the six-room, the others would definitely retaliate back. The four siblings can bully each other on weekdays, but they will never allow outsiders to bully them.
At this moment, in their hearts, he is the son of the murderer who killed General Yang, an enemy, and an executioner who came to arrest their relatives, how could they tell him Xiao Lingwei's whereabouts?
In the eyes of everyone, Xiao Linhui and the others must know Xiao Lingwei's whereabouts, but in fact, since Xiao Lingwei left in the morning, they don't know how Xiao Lingwei is doing now and where she has gone.
Li Xuan walked out of the main room in disappointment.
Yue Hu asked, "What His Highness just said is true?" Do you want to save Xiao Lingwei? ”
Li Xuan stared at him lightly: "Of course not, I just want to lie to them to tell them about Xiao Lingwei's whereabouts." ”
