"It's not early, Gu Ke has to go back to the post house first, what about Zhen Guogong, don't you want to go home?" King Canglan deliberately avoided the other party's question, and led the topic to an inconsequential matter with a smile.

Wei Xiuyuan was anxious to step forward, but was stopped by Lu Li, he looked up at the king of Canglan, and stared at the other party with eyes full of scrutiny for a long time before pulling Wei Xiuyuan back, and said with a slight bow: "Yes, it's not early, Lu Mou retired first." ”

After speaking, Lu Li took Wei Xiuyuan's arm, turned around and walked out.

Xiao Man glanced at King Canglan unwillingly and suspiciously, and then hurriedly followed, followed the footsteps of the two men with Xia Wanrou, and left in a hurry.

After all, this golden palace is still the emperor's golden palace, if they want to talk about things, it is better to go to the post house, not to mention that this matter is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.

The four of them and the servants walked out of the Golden Palace, and quickened their pace all the way, almost trotting out of the palace to the front of the carriage parked at the gate of the palace.

Wei Xiuyuan was finally able to shake off Lu Li, he rubbed his wrist, a little angry: "Why didn't you continue to ask just now?" That Canglan King flickered, it was clear that he had another purpose, and he didn't dare to tell you with a weak heart! Lu Li, you can't even see this, right? ”

"Of course I can see that." Lu Li answered in a low voice, and then never spoke again,

He frowned, looked left and right, and saw that the sun had already set, and the residents on the street were gradually turning on the lights, he couldn't help but hesitate, if he went directly to the post house to find the king of Canglan at this time, would it be too late?

But he clearly saw that the king of Canglan still had something to say to him, if he didn't go at this time, would the king of Canglan think that he didn't pay attention to him, or that he didn't want to know the truth of the matter so much?

Thinking about it, Lu Li was a little embarrassed.

"Lu Li!" Wei Xiuyuan called the other party angrily, and it wasn't until he saw that the other party came back to his senses that he said helplessly: "What do you think, aren't you dazzled by the benefits that King Canglan promised to Xiao Man?" ”

He knew better than anyone else in his heart that Lu Li was not such a greedy person for wealth and power, but at the moment, he was more and more incomprehensible to the other party's actions, and he was angry for a while, and he couldn't help but say something nonsense.

Hearing this, Xia Wanrou hurriedly grabbed Wei Xiuyuan's arm, frowned and shook her head, "Xiuyuan, don't talk nonsense." ”

"It's okay." Lu Li shook his head, not caring about what Wei Xiuyuan said, he looked back in the direction of the palace gate, and then lowered his eyes.

After thinking for a while, Lu Li raised his head and looked at Wei Xiuyuan solemnly, "I'm going to the post house, do you want to go with me?" I always felt that the king of Canglan had something to say, as if something had not been told to us yet. ”

"I feel that way, too, so I'm curious! But you mean, you don't know what he's talking about? Wei Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were playing some dumb riddle in front of me!" It's been a long time, and it turns out that you don't know. ”

Lu Li nodded, then turned around and instructed Xiao Man, "You go back to the house first, and Xiu and I will go back when we go." ”

"Then be careful." At this time, Xiao Man didn't know what to say, so he could only tell the other party, and then get into the carriage with Xia Wanrou and go back to the house.

Lu Li and Wei Xiuyuan got into another carriage and instructed the coachman to drive in the direction of the post house.

On the way, Wei Xiuyuan never understood the meaning of King Canglan's move today, and Lu Li had to explain to the other party according to some information he had.

In the end, Wei Xiuyuan nodded as if he didn't understand, and said while thinking about it: "Then what does this Canglan King mean is to give up his affinity, and then promise Xiao Man's status, mansion and other benefits, and let her go to Canglan Country to help, right?" ”

"On the face of it, that's exactly what it means." Lu Li nodded.

"Then why are we going to the inn? Isn't it clear now? He wanted Xiaoman to help more wholeheartedly, so he promised her benefits in advance, so that she had no choice but to be embarrassed to refuse. Wei Xiuyuan thought very simply.

Lu Li shook his head firmly and said, "I always feel that things are not so simple, and the meaning of King Canglan's words just now seems to be that he wants me to go to the post house to find him." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered the question he had asked King Canglan, and then re-hooked the doubts in his heart.

He raised his eyes sharply to look at Wei Xiuyuan, and spoke very quickly: "If you want to go to Canglan Country to help, it is far from what Xiao Man can do alone, but the King of Canglan has only promised so many benefits to Xiao Man, don't you think it's a little strange?" ”

People's jealousy is very terrible, once those people find that they do their best, but they are far less than the benefits that Xiao Man has received, then what kind of predicament and danger Xiao Man will fall into, it is impossible for the King of Canglan not to think of this.

Judging from yesterday's small talk, this Canglan King is not a ruthless and vicious person, but the other party's move today really makes Lu Li really incomprehensible.

After listening to Lu Li's analysis, Wei Xiuyuan suddenly felt a chill down his spine, he wrapped the cloak on his body tightly, frowned, and said in disbelief: "This is impossible, right?" King Canglan wanted Xiao Man to come over to help, how could he deliberately harm her? And Xiaoman and Holley still have cooperation, it is impossible for King Canglan to abandon the caravan, right? ”

As soon as he said this, Lu Li couldn't help but sigh, "This is also what I don't understand." ”

Wei Xiuyuan was about to open his mouth to comfort, but the carriage stopped, only to hear the carriage in front of him say: "Lord Wei, Grandpa Guo, the post house has arrived." ”

"Got it." Lu Li took a deep breath and raised his eyes to look at the other party, "Go to the post house and ask this Canglan King, if he really has no ill will towards Xiaoman, I am also happy to go to Canglan to help, but if he has the slightest malice towards Xiaoman, then I will do my best to let His Majesty take back his life." ”

"Okay, I'll accompany you!"

The two got out of the carriage one after the other and walked straight to the post house.

And King Canglan seemed to know that they would visit, so he ordered the maidservants beside him to wait in the post house early, and when she saw Wei Xiuyuan and Lu Li coming, she smiled and bowed slightly, "Are the two of you here to find the king?" ”

"Yes, has the king returned?" Lu Li asked.

"The king is waiting for the two of them in the room, and the servant will take them there." The maidservant smiled lightly and took the lead to lead the way.

Judging by the other party's meaning, this Canglan King already knew that they were coming. Wei Xiuyuan and Lu Li couldn't help but look sideways in tacit understanding, and after a few eye contacts, the two followed the footsteps of the maidservant and followed her to the king's room.

The door of King Canglan's room was wide open, and the maidservant girl was the first to come in, and then made a gesture of please, "Please come in, the king has been waiting for a long time." ”

The two entered the door, looked at King Canglan who was sitting on the right seat, first saluted politely, and then exchanged a few words of greeting. The other party did not ask them the purpose of their coming, and the two of them never mentioned it, so they exchanged pleasantries tacitly, and a quarter of an hour had passed.

In the end, Wei Xiuyuan, who was in a hurry, couldn't hold it back, took the lead in getting up, ended the topic firmly, and said very bluntly: "What does the king mean, I might as well say it directly, I don't understand such a dumb riddle!" ”

If it was in the past, Lu Li would definitely get up and play a round game, but today he couldn't hold it back, so he didn't say anything, but together with Wei Xiuyuan, he set his eyes on King Canglan.

Seeing that they couldn't hold it back, King Canglan smiled, "It's a lonely rudeness, the rise of talking, and forgetting the business." ”

Saying that, King Canglan got up, cleared his throat and walked in front of the two, and said, "Say, what does Zhenguo Gong want to ask Gu, and Lord Wei, what doubts do you have, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Okay, then Lu Mou, please ask the king, why did you give my wife such a big status, and why did you announce this in front of so many courtiers? There is no way for us to excuse ourselves. Lu Li got up and spoke bluntly.

Wei Xiuyuan also echoed: "That is, you give Xiaoman such a big favor, do you want to make others jealous of her?" Or did the king have other plans? ”

King Canglan smiled slightly, as if he had expected them to ask this question, so he turned around, returned to his position and sat down, lowered his eyes, and his voice was a little more serious than before, "Canglan is in a mess, and he wants to find a reliable person to help him, so he is allowed to give her such a high status, isn't it normal to do this?" ”

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyelids, his gaze fell straight on Lu Li, and raised his eyebrows, as if he was asking the other party, is it wrong for him to do this?

But Lu Li immediately stepped forward, "Did the king ever think about what others would think of Xiaoman?" The king should know that if he wants to help Canglan up and down, that is not something that Xiaoman can do alone. Now that Xiaoman has not gone to Canglan, everything has not yet started, the king has given her such a great gift, this is to make trouble for Xiaoman! ”

In the end, Lu Li was also a little excited, and his tone couldn't help but be a little high-spirited.

"But Ruogu didn't promise such a big gift to the Su family, what if she picks a son halfway?" King Canglan has his own thoughts, so in the face of Lu Li's questioning, he did not exaggerate or hide it, but bluntly stated his difficulties.

Even if he admired Lu Li again, the two had only known each other for a few days, not to mention that he had never seen Xiaoman, how could he use her husband's character to ensure that she would not back down halfway?

"You're talking nonsense! Xiaoman is not this kind of person at all! The maintenance eye retorted.

The servant girl, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stepped forward, "Hugh is presumptuous!" ”

"Fluffy." The king of Canglan drank the other party, and the servant girl had to sigh unwillingly, and returned to the king with her head down.

And Wang Shang walked up and walked in front of Wei Xiuyuan, serious: "What Lord Wei said lightly, Gu and Su Xiaoman don't know each other, and they have no emotion at all, how can Gu believe and guarantee that she won't run away?" ”
