clause

"Has the letter to the emperor been sent?" Lu Li was half-lying on the bed and asked weakly.

He was hit by an arrow in the chest, although it did not hurt his heart and lungs, but he was injured after all, and he still shed so much blood, even if he had been medicated and bandaged, the whole person was still very weak, his face was very pale, and his voice was hoarse.

Wei Xiuyuan hurriedly walked over when he heard this, and said truthfully: "I will send it out at noon today, I am afraid that I have gone far now, Lu Li, do you have anything else to report?" ”

The person sent out to deliver the letter is a secret guard, who can ensure that the other party is heartfelt and can definitely deliver the letter to the emperor safely. Second, it is also because of the strong martial arts of the secret guard, ordinary little thieves and others can be ignored, and the secret guard acts in a low-key manner, which is not easy to be discovered by Lin Le's people.

"Tonight, I found some more letters in the dark room of Lin Le's private school, all of which were sent by the eldest princess some time ago, and I wanted the secret guard to send these letters back as well, so that the emperor could send someone as soon as possible." Lu Li sighed and finished his words intermittently, his forehead and the tip of his nose were covered with beads of sweat, as if he was tired and weak.

Seeing this, Wei Xiuyuan persuaded a few words, "Don't worry, you have been resting for the past few days, and I will deal with the outside affairs." ”

"Then you-Xiuyuan, I'll ......" Lu Li was still not at ease, "My injury is not serious, if not, it would be the same if I discussed it with you like this, otherwise-"

"Alright, you can go back and rest." Xiao Man ordered someone to help Lu Li up, interrupted the other party's words softly, and persuaded while following him: "Only when you are well rested, can we deal with Lin Le without distractions, besides, the three stinkers have competed against Zhuge Liang, with me, Sister Wanrou, and Brother Wei, even if you can't suppress Lin Le quickly, it's no problem to deal with him for the time being." ”

After speaking, Lu Li had already been helped to the door of the bedroom, he looked at Xiao Man reluctantly and uneasily, even though he couldn't bear it in his heart, he could only comfort: "Then you should be careful." ”

Xiao Man raised a faint smile and nodded obediently at the man, his eyes full of determination.

Seeing this, Lu Li sighed and turned around and went back to the bedroom to rest.

After Lu left, Xiao Man returned to the main hall, and the subordinates and doctors in the house were all gone, leaving only the three of them.

There was silence all around, and even the sound of insects could not be heard. The doors and windows were shut, there was no wind in the house, and the candles burned quietly, illuminating the house.

"What is Lin Le's purpose, I think you can guess a little now." Wei Xiuyuan was the first to speak, because he deliberately lowered his voice, his voice was a little low: "We have very little information at present, but I can be sure that the entire Yuncheng and even Kangcheng are under his control, now is definitely not a good time to do it, we should hide it now, what do you say?" ”

The direction of the local officials in Yuncheng is not obvious, and for the sake of safety, they still don't want to alarm the government.

Among the three people, the one who knows Lin Le the most is the maintenance eye, so when he said this, Xiaoman and Xia Wanrou naturally agreed.

Seeing that the two of them nodded, they said solemnly: "Lu Li is injured, and I don't know martial arts, so this mansion door can't be opened in a short time, and there are still ten secret guards left in the emperor's gift, I think it's better to be conservative at the moment, so I want to let these ten secret guards all be stationed in the mansion to avoid further accidents." ”

"I think that's too passive." Xiao Man frowned and retorted: "Since Lu Li was injured in the private school tonight, and seeing that he shed so much blood, even if we hide it, Lin Le, as the owner of the private school, will know about this matter sooner or later, but we closed the door, obviously telling Lin Le clearly that we have no ability to fight back now, in this way, wouldn't he be even more presumptuous?" ”

Lin Le's power is immeasurable, but it is obviously more powerful than them, if he tells the other party his true ability at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that Lin Le will not take advantage of Lu Li's injury and attack in a big way.

After listening to what Xiao Man said, Xia Wanrou also nodded approvingly, "Xiao Man is right, if we expose our true ability at this time, then it is really unimaginable what Lin Le will do." Xiuyuan, Lin Le is no longer the same Lin Le as before, let's be careful. ”

"But we are such a small number of people, do we still have to fight with Lin Le without our own strength? As you can see, Lu Li has been so seriously injured, we still have to preserve our strength and hide it well. When the people sent by the emperor to support us arrive, it will not be too late to do so. Wei Xiuyuan frowned and said.

"Xiuyuan, it's all come to this point, do you think we can still hide? Lin Le will find out about us sooner or later, what if the people who support us haven't arrived yet, and Lin Le can't hold back his hands first? Xia Wanrou asked.

What Xia Wanrou said was not unreasonable, and Wei Xiuyuan had to sigh after hearing it, "What about your suggestions?" What do we do now? ”

Xiao Man and Xia Wanrou glanced at each other, and then Xiao Man took a deep breath, looked at Wei Xiuyuan fixedly, and said firmly: "Brother Wei, it depends on you." ”

"What do you mean?" Wei Xiu was far from puzzled.

Xiao Man got up and said while pacing in the room: "To be honest, Sister Wanrou and I have already discussed an idea the first time we found out that something was wrong. But before we say this plan, we need to ask you a few questions. ”

"When we came to Yuncheng, you contacted Lin Le early, what did you tell him at that time? How much information does Lin Le have about us, and what Lin Le is going to do, can you tell us all the things you know, and we can also improve this plan. ”

Hearing this, Wei Xiuyuan naturally made a statement.

"According to the letter that Lu Li brought back, we can know that Lin Le is the person we are looking for this time, but you also know what has happened in the past few days, Lin Le has a lot of people under him, and his martial arts are very strong, and even the emperor's secret guard is not his opponent. Moreover, Lin Le had moved all the suspicious things away long before Lu Li arrived at the private school, and only these few letters remained, which showed that this letter was of no importance to Lin Le at all, even if it was discovered by the emperor, he was not afraid. ”

"It can be said that Lin Le is ...... now"

As he spoke, an extremely bold guess suddenly popped up in Wei Xiuyuan's heart.

He couldn't help but stop, and a trace of horror flashed at Xia Wanrou's gaze.

If Lin Le is really as he guessed, then the names of himself and Lu Li and the others, Lin Le doesn't even look at them, after all, he doesn't even ......

"Brother Wei, have you also thought of this?" Xiao Man turned around, lowered his voice, and leaned closer and said, "Lin Le wants to rebel." ”

It's one thing to guess in my heart, but it's another thing to say it like this.

Wei Xiuyuan nodded stunnedly, but he still couldn't believe it, "Lin Le, a literati, shouldn't be... How could this be, what he did......"

This realization hit Wei Xiuyuan too hard, and he was incoherent for a while, not knowing what to say.

In fact, he should have realized it a long time ago, but because of the amount of information in the past few days, and Lu Li's accidental injury, he actually ignored Lin Le's true purpose.

"No matter what Lin Le wants to do, the most important thing for us so far is to save our lives." Xia Wanrou said sternly: "The letters that Lu Li brought back, we should also pick out a few letters and send them to Shangjing, as well as the secret guards in the mansion, we must redeploy as soon as possible." “

"Sister Wanrou is right, the child is still in the house, Lu Li is also injured, we have to redivide the distribution of secret guards." Xiao Man echoed.

Wei Xiuyuan was still in a trance, but now was not the time to hesitate and be surprised, he cheered up, "Last night, Lu Li and I have already washed and divided the distribution of dark guards, this is no problem for the time being, but what we should do in the future still need to be discussed." ”

He is right, the most important thing at the moment is to save his life, and the rest will wait for the emperor's people to arrive.

According to the speed of the secret guard, it is estimated that there will be a few days before he arrives in Shangjing, and I don't know how the emperor will deal with this matter.

The three of them discussed in the house for a long time, because they had already startled the snake, and the children of the two families were still there, so how to save their lives in the future became a very tricky matter. The three of them deliberated until the next morning, and then reluctantly decided on it. This decision was a bit risky, but in such a situation, it was already a helpless move for the three of them.

"Send three secret guards to a nearby city for help?" Lu Li leaned on the bed, frowned and asked, "Is this safe?" Lin Le has been in Yuncheng for so many years, and the scope of his connections is far from what we can imagine, if the person who asks for help is also his person, then what should we do? ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man lowered his head, a little helpless: "But this is already the fastest and most effective way so far, otherwise we won't be able to support the people who support us at all." ”

What the other party said was also good, but Lu Li always felt that it was too hasty to do so.

"Knock knock—"

There was a knock on the bedroom door, and Pearl hurried to open it.

As soon as the door opened, Wei Xiuyuan hurriedly broke in, his face was very ugly, and his tone was solemn: "Oh no, the prefect of Yuncheng surrounded our house with a lot of officers and soldiers, and looking at their posture, it is obvious that they are here to arrest people." ”

"There's got to be an excuse for arresting people, right?" Xiao Man got up unevenly and angrily: "We didn't burn and loot, why did they surround us?" ”

It seems that their guess is really good, Lin Le has already colluded with the local officials in Yuncheng, and now they have been completely trapped in Yuncheng.

Wei Xiuyuan sighed in embarrassment, "Early this morning, some people found two corpses in the private school, Lin Le said... said that someone saw Lu Li entering and leaving the private school last night, and the prefect suspected that these two people were killed by Lu Li, so ...... So they were going to come to Lu Li for questioning. ”
