Chapter 345: Strange Chaoyang City
Chapter 345: Strange Chaoyang City
"Lord Wang!" After noticing Tuoba Lie's movements, Li Luoxia immediately stood up.
"What, Luo Xia has something to tell this king?"
"No, no." Li Luoxia stammered in reply, and sat back on the table with her hand.
"Since you have nothing to say to the king, then if the king has something to ask you, answer truthfully."
After hearing Tuoba Lie's words, Li Luoxia's heart sank, he must have asked himself about the secret guard, it seems that this matter can't be prevaricated no matter what.
"Yes, Lord Wang, Luo Xia must answer truthfully." She could only nod in resignation.
"This king asks you, how many secret guards did this king send you before?"
"Sixteen." Li Luoxia whispered.
"And now? How many more? ”
"Ten more ......"
As soon as Li Luoxia's words fell, Tuoba Lie raised the wine glass on the table and slammed it to the ground.
"Ten! Basically everyone in these ten was injured, and the remaining six came back with only bones, and the king sent you the secret guard to protect you, why did you make such a situation! ”
Tuoba Lie was furious at Li Luoxia, he didn't expect that the secret guard would lose so much in Li Luoxia's hands, it takes a lot of effort to cultivate a secret guard, and every time a dark guard is lost, their strength will be weakened by one point.
"I'm just ......" Li Luoxia's lips kept trembling, and she couldn't say a complete sentence. She had also thought that Tuoba Lie would be furious, but she didn't expect him to pay so much attention to these secret guards.
In her opinion, this secret guard is just a servant of herself, and although it is a pity to die, there is no need to be so angry!
Tuoba Lie saw something indifferent from Li Luoxia's eyes.
"Look up at this king!" Tuobalie's roar made Li Luoxia's shoulders tremble, and she could only raise her head tremblingly, but she didn't dare to meet Tuobalie's eyes at all.
"This king asks you, what did you let these secret guards do?"
Li Luoxia didn't speak, just closed her lips tightly, and Liu Manping next to her was very anxious.
"Luo Xia, hurry up!" While persuading Li Luoxia, she always paid attention to Tuoba Lie's expression.
"I sent them to assassinate Princess Yan." Li Luoxia said such a sentence after a while.
"Assassinate whom?" Tuoba asked again.
"Assassinate Princess Yan."
"Is it you, or is someone else helping you?" After Tuoba Lie asked this sentence, Li Luoxia subconsciously looked up at him.
According to Tuoba Lie's ability, he should have already made his assassination of Li Luobing clear, and he asked now, most likely because he wanted to hear himself tell the truth.
After Li Luoxia thought of this, she suppressed the idea of lying.
"And King Qin."
King Qin? Hearing Chu Ruoyang's name come out of Li Luoxia's mouth, Liu Manping stepped forward and grabbed Li Luoxia's arm.
"Why are you with King Qin again?" Liu Manping shook Li Luoxia frantically.
The matter between Li Luoxia and King Qin, no one said anything on the surface, but in private, it was already full of turmoil.
Now that she didn't care about getting together with that person again, and it was such a thing as assassinating Princess Yan, once there was any accident, Chu Ruoyang would definitely not intercede for Li Luoxia.
"I'm not with him, I'm just cooperating." Li Luoxia dissatisfiedly pushed Liu Manping's hand away.
"Confused!" Tuoba Lie stepped forward and gave Li Luoxia a slap, which was the first time Tuoba Lie did it after recognizing her.
"You remember to this king, you are no longer Li Luoxia, you are Tuoba Luoxia, the county lord of Izumo Province, and your every move has a great relationship with Izumo Province."
After Li Luoxia was slapped, she covered her face and sat on the ground, Liu Manping felt distressed for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward to look at Li Luoxia's face, and saw that it was only a little red, and there were no other problems, so she began to intercede for her again.
"Lord Wang, Luo Xia didn't mean to, and she didn't know much about these, so you can spare him this time!"
"Not intentionally?" After hearing Liu Manping's words, Tuoba Lie stepped forward and kicked Liu Manping to the ground.
"How could it not be intentional? Otherwise, why would so many people be killed or injured? What do you mean by not knowing much? It's okay that nothing happens now, but if something happens, it may be a war between Izumo and Mingyue Kingdom, do you think she can afford it? ”
Tuoba Lie questioned Liu Manping, and the whole person trembled with anger.
"But haven't you always wanted to let Izumo Province and Mingyue Province go to war?" Li Luoxia whispered. After she finished speaking, Liu Manping immediately covered her mouth and shook her head desperately at her.
"Izumo Province and Mingyue Province at war? It's not something you think about, and even if there is a war, it's not the time. Tuobalie's tone became colder and colder.
"Lord Wang, Luo Xia didn't mean it, she didn't mean to say that." Liu Manping saw Tuoba Lie walking towards them step by step, and hurriedly protected Li Luoxia behind her, for fear that Tuoba Lie would punch and kick her.
"Don't worry, I just want her to learn some lessons." Tuoba Lie stepped forward and pushed Liu Manping aside, then squatted down and looked directly at Li Luoxia's eyes for a long time.
"Lock her up for me, and in two days, we'll go straight back to Izumo Kingdom."
"Go back so soon?" Liu Manping was also a little surprised. She was used to it in the Bright Moon Country, and she was still a little reluctant to learn that she was going to Izumo Country when she suddenly learned that she was going to Izumo Country.
"Why can't you bear it?" Tuoba Lie asked Liu Manping after hearing her words.
"No, everything is at the behest of the prince." Liu Manping hurriedly bowed her head and replied.
"If she doesn't go back soon, I don't know what kind of mess she's going to make here." Tuoba Lie glared at Li Luoxia fiercely, turned around and left. After he left, Li Luoxia's whole body relaxed.
"Remember, don't mess with the prince, we are no longer from the Mingyue Kingdom, and you are the county lord of Izumo Province, and we will return to Izumo Province in two days. After arriving in Izumo Country, you must no longer be as willful as before, you must be careful in everything, listen to me, remember? ”
Liu Manping told Li Luoxia a little anxiously, just now Tuoba Lie was already quite tolerant of Li Luoxia, if Li Luoxia made such a serious mistake next time, she could not guarantee that Tuoba Lie would still treat her like this.
Li Luoxia nodded a little shocked, she didn't expect Tuoba Lie to actually do it to herself, it seems that she had misestimated his love for her before.
"County Lord, let's go!" The people sent by Tuoba Lie to take Li Luoxia away were already standing by her side.
Li Luoxia stood up, Liu Manping patted the back of her hand comfortingly, and she followed the people into a room, and then heard the sound of the door being locked.
Only then did she realize that Tuoba Lie said that he was not punishing himself for fun, but actually locked himself in the house, even locked the door, and did not let herself step out of here for half a step, and it seemed that she could only leave here after two days.
At the gate of Chaoyang City on the other side, the convoy of Chu Ruoyi and others had already stopped there, but they were about to enter the city, but they encountered a little trouble.
Before coming to Chaoyang City, I had heard that the folk customs here were different from other places, but I didn't expect to be so blocked in front of the small city gate.
"What's wrong?" Chu Ruoyan stepped down from the carriage.
When the carriage stopped at the city gate, he and Li Luobing didn't come forward at first, sitting in the carriage thinking that they would soon be able to pass through the city gate, but they didn't expect to be able to do anything after a long time, and finally they could only go to inquire in person.
"Lord Wang." After the activity that was talking to the guards at the city gate saw Chu Ruoyao come out, he hurriedly saluted him.
"It's still troublesome for us to enter this Chaoyang City now." The expression on Guo Dong's face was a little helpless.
"How can it be troublesome? Isn't there an official seal on your body? And there are also documents written by the emperor himself. ”
"The subordinates did take out these things, but ......" Guo Dong hesitated for a moment and then put his eyes on the guard in front of him.
It shows that the society is very carefully checking the relationship between junior high school students and the documents that Chu Zhuangyan gave him before, and he did not let go of every word, after reading it, Jiang closed the paperwork, and observed it on the epidermis for a long time, and then wrapped the things and handed them to Guo Dong, and then the serious expression on his face disappeared, followed by a respectful expression.
"King Yan, please don't blame the minister. Chaoyang City has been very unpeaceful recently, and there are often bandits from all walks of life pretending to be merchants and sneaking into Chaoyang City, and finally causing a lot of chaos. ”
The guard said as he motioned to the people around him to get out of the way, so that Chu Ruoya and the others could pass through.
"For the sake of the safety of Chaoyang City, we have to take such measures." After the guard's words, the road had already been out of the way.
"Where is the lord of the city?" Chu Ruoyao asked the guards at the city gate, and the guards looked at each other a few times and shook their heads.
"What do you mean by shaking your head? Isn't there a castle lord? Or ......"
"You can say yes, you can say no." The guards' words made Chu Ruoyan a little confused.
"What do you mean?"
"It means that although there is a city lord, it is no different from not, and the status of the city lord is sometimes even lower than that of the soldiers defending the city." After the guards looked at each other, they spoke to Chu Ruoyi.
Their words confused all the people accompanying them, looking at the appearance of these guards, they didn't take the city lord in their eyes at all, Chu Ruoyan was becoming more and more curious about this Chaoyang City.
"Don't worry about that for now, let's go check it out first!" Chu Ruoyan said to the guards and the people accompanying him.
The guard nodded, and sent one of them to take Chu Ruoyu and the others directly to the City Lord's Mansion.
