Chapter 344: Tuoba Lie's Punishment
Chapter 344: Tuoba Lie's Punishment
"How many people are left?" Li Luoxia's expression was very solemn.
"If you go back to the county lord, there are still ten people, and more than half of the brothers are dead and wounded." The guards knelt on the ground and said to Li Luoxia.
"More than half of the dead and wounded, are there so many people?" Li Luoxia was also very surprised when she heard this number, you must know that she had cooperated with Chu Ruoyang twice before, why did there be such a big casualty?
"If you go back to the county lord, this is indeed the case."
"I see, you go down first!" Li Luoxia waved her hand and motioned for the dark guard to retreat, while she paced back and forth in the room and thought.
They had cooperated twice before, and King Qin should have been about the same as his own casualties, but now he didn't feel any regret at all.
There is only one possibility for this situation, that is, King Qin's loss is far smaller than his own. It is very likely that the secret guard received his order not to rush to the front at the risk of death when encountering danger, so that all the danger is borne by his own people.
It's so damning! Li Luoxia stood up and slapped the table hard. I was so obsessed with Chu Ruoyang before, but I didn't expect that now he still puts his own interests first. She must find him and ask him about it.
"How's the battle going for the county lord?" Li Luoxia walked to the side of the door and before she could push it open, the door was opened from the outside, and the person who came in was Chu Ruoyang, the king of Qin.
"The blessing of King Qin, there are heavy casualties." Li Luoxia said angrily.
I was going to go to him because of this matter, but I didn't expect him to send it to the door, which saved me a lot of effort.
"Heavy casualties? It should be a problem that the county lord's subordinates are not skilled in martial arts, why is it counted on this king? ”
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Li Luoxia looked at Chu Ruoyang with some puzzlement, and Chu Ruoyang shook his head with a smile.
"This king doesn't understand what you're talking about, lord of the county."
Li Luoxia stood up angrily when she heard this, pointed at Chu Ruoyang's nose and shouted: "If you hadn't withdrawn people at the critical moment, and all the attacks were borne by my people, do you think you would still be alive until now?" ”
It's a pity that Chu Ruoyang was completely indifferent to Li Luoxia's words, no matter how she yelled or shouted, he couldn't see any expression on his face.
Li Luoxia originally thought that Chu Ruoyang would feel a little guilty, but she was disappointed.
After seeing that Li Luoxia stopped talking, Chu Ruoyang opened his mouth.
"This king is here to see if the county lord has anything to do, since the county lord is fine, then the king is also leaving." After Chu Ruoyang finished speaking, he walked towards the door, and stopped when he was about to step out of the door.
"This king heard that this Lie Wang Ye is very fond of the secret guards under him, and this time the county lord let the secret guards die and injure so much, the Lie King will definitely be impressed."
After Chu Ruoyang finished speaking, he stepped out of the door, and Li Luoxia was left slumped on the ground alone. She shouldn't have chosen to cooperate with King Qin from the beginning, otherwise she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
What King Qin said just now is indeed true, although Tuoba Lie spoils her, she takes everyone under her very seriously, and if she goes back like this, she will inevitably be severely reprimanded.
"When are we going back?" After someone entered the house, he saw Li Luoxia sitting on the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, Li Luoxia's eyes were blank, and it took a long time to react to the meaning of his words.
"Go back now, the sooner the better, remember to carry the bodies back, but don't let anyone see them." Li Luoxia told again and again.
She can only hope that Tuoba Lie will not be in the house now, so that she can still have a little time to prepare, and maybe she can let Liu Manping intercede for herself and reduce some punishment.
The guards returned to the house with the bodies of another part of the people first, and Li Luoxia came to the gate alone. Before she entered, she had already seen Liu Manping waiting at the door, so she walked quickly to Liu Manping.
"Where have you been? Why are you only coming back now? What's going on with those people who just came back? Liu Manping held Li Luoxia's hand and asked a lot of questions in a row, only to find that something was wrong with her daughter, not only was her hands cold, but she was trembling all over.
"Are you sick again? I'll tell you not to go outside and toss, now it's okay, it's still yourself who suffers, come into the house. After Liu Manping finished speaking, she wanted to drag Li Luoxia into the house, but Li Luoxia kept standing in place and refused to leave.
"Why don't you come in?"
"Is the prince in the house?" Li Luoxia asked a little apprehensively.
Liu Manping smiled after hearing this: "Don't worry, this time it's here." When I heard that you hadn't come back for the past few days, I was very worried about you and kept saying that I wanted to see you. ”
Hearing that Tuoba Lie was in the house, Li Luoxia's face changed instantly, the last person she wanted to see now was Tuoba Lie, since he was in the house, maybe the matter of the secret guards just now had already been known to him.
"What's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly? Liu Manping became even more anxious after seeing Li Luoxia's pale face.
"I ...... I'm a little unwell and want to go and rest first. After finishing speaking, Li Luoxia walked past Liu Manping and ignored her questioning.
"Madam," Mama Liu, who was next to her, could only persuade Liu Manping first after seeing Li Luoxia like this, "The county lord has been away for so long, and it is natural to be tired, so let her rest first, and the prince should be able to say it." ”
Everyone left, Liu Manping could only nod and agree, and after she came to the main hall, she told Tuoba Lie about Li Luoxia going back to the house to rest first. After listening to this, Tuoba Lie didn't show any superfluous performance, just nodded.
But if you can hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime, you will still come, Li Luoxia has been hiding in the house until the night.
"County Lord, the prince asked you to go to the main hall in a while." Mama Liu came in and said to Li Luoxia.
At this time, Li Luoxia was sitting on the edge of the bed, and after hearing Mama Liu say that Tuoba Lie wanted to see her, the fear in her heart became bigger and bigger, and the whole person was in a trance.
"Miss, ......" Mama Liu hesitated, according to Miss's situation, it was really not suitable to go to the main hall, but no one dared to refute the prince's order, even if Li Luoxia was uncomfortable, she had to appear tonight.
"I'm fine, let's go!" Li Luoxia also realized her gaffe, shook her head and let Mama Liu walk in front.
Tuoba Lie didn't say anything after seeing Li Luoxia coming, motioned to Liu Manping and Li Luoxia to sit down quickly, and ordered someone to bring the food up.
Before they could pick up their chopsticks, Tuoba Lie spoke.
"This king has something to say today." As soon as she heard Tuoba Lie say that something was wrong, Li Luoxia was shocked, and immediately thought of those dead and injured secret guards, and her chopsticks fell to the ground with a trembling hand.
Hearing the sound of chopsticks falling to the ground, Tuoba Lie glanced in the direction of Li Luoxia: "What's wrong?" Can't even hold chopsticks now? ”
Li Luoxia shook her head with a stiff face: "Let the prince worry, it's just a little uncomfortable today." After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks.
When Liu Manping saw her, she also helped Li Luoxia speak: "Lord Luoxia is really too tired today, and she rested for half a day in the afternoon, but her face has not been good. ”
"Since you're too tired, then I'll ask someone to take a look."
Tuoba Lie replied immediately after hearing Liu Manping's words. Although his words were concerned, in Li Luoxia's ears, there was danger everywhere.
She always felt in her heart that everything he said had a deep meaning, hinting at what he would do with him.
"Luo Xia, Luo Xia," Liu Manping whispered Li Luoxia's name, "Don't thank you yet." ”
Li Luoxia raised her head after hearing Liu Manping's words, her eyes were full of questions, thank you? Thanks for what?
After Liu Manping saw Li Luoxia's eyes, she knew that she hadn't listened carefully to Tuoba Lie's words just now, so she quickly repeated it with Li Luoxia.
"The prince said that he would call Lang Zhong to diagnose the pulse for you, why don't you thank the prince quickly?"
After Liu Manping's urging, Li Luoxia reacted, and quickly got up and knelt in front of Tuobalie: "Luoxia thanks the prince for his grace." ”
"Don't do that, get up! Since you are already a native of Izumo Province, there is no need to be so polite. Tuoba Lie's attitude was very kind, but in the process of Li Luoxia's getting up, her heart was always trembling, and she almost fell to the ground when she sat on the chair.
"All of you go down!" After seeing Li Luoxia and Liu Manping sitting down, Tuoba Lie asked several servants to go down.
"But ......" Mama Liu looked at Liu Manping, a little hesitant in her heart. She has been serving by Liu Manping's side for a long time, and she has almost never left, if she didn't have herself, I don't know if Liu Manping would get used to it.
"Don't worry, with this king here, what are you worried about? Not to mention that it's just a dinner. Tuoba Lie's expression at this time had already faintly revealed displeasure.
After Liu Manping noticed Tuobalie's expression, she quickly motioned for Mama Liu to walk out of the room and closed the door.
"Lord Wang, this seems to be the first time we have sat together like this, since Luo Xia got better, you have not been in the house, I didn't expect to have such an opportunity today."
Liu Manping didn't know what Tuoba Lie wanted to do, so she could only take the lead in speaking, and Tuoba Lie also smiled after listening to her words.
"Yes, I've never been here, there are a lot of things I don't know and don't understand, you two have to talk to me about it in a while." Tuoba Lie said, his eyes looked at Li Luoxia next to him.
"That's naturally the way it should be, lord, you can have a drink first!" Liu Manping got up and poured a glass of wine for Tuobalie, brought it to him, Tuoba Lie took the glass and drank it all, and put the wine glass heavily on the table.
