Silence, the room suddenly fell into a dead silence. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Outside the room, thunder and lightning were still unscrupulously eroding the war-torn Jinling City, rolling thunder mixed with bright lightning flashing between the sky and the earth without interruption, and the bean-sized torrential rain hurriedly knocked on the oil-paper window, making a 'crackling' disturbing sound.
But at this moment, none of the few people in the room had the leisure to lament the torrential rain outside, because everyone's eyes were all focused on the book paper that was pressed under the palm of the hand by the jade building. The three people present seemed to have three completely different looks, Lu Yifan's surprise, Yan Zheng's fear, and Yulou's quietness. Three very different momentum spread out on a table at the same time, making the atmosphere in the room a little oppressive, so that Yan Zheng had begun to gasp with his mouth uncontrollably at this moment.
Yan Zheng's terrified eyes stared at the letter under Yulou's palm, and the hands he hid under the table couldn't help but tremble at the moment, and there was an indescribable complex emotion entangled between his eyebrows, and after the corners of his mouth twitched violently a few times, he finally couldn't stand the depression in the room, and whispered word by word: "This is impossible!"
"In black and white, is it possible that the dignified King of the Holy West dares to do it but does not dare to do it?" Yulou sneered coldly, "The King of the Holy West might as well tell me for himself, how you used the battle between Han Xiao and Lan Shixun to win over the Lu family in the first place? How did you later use the Lu family to eradicate the King of the Holy East? and then how did you kill Zhao Wuyang and Jin Yinwei and then blame the Lu family, so as to sow discord between the Lu family and the Emperor?"
"Yulou, what you said is true?" Lu Yifan stared closely at the letter under Yulou's palm, and asked faintly. At this moment, his face was sometimes angry and sometimes shocked, and then he suddenly raised his head, and shot a pair of eyes full of scrutiny directly at Yan Zheng without hesitation, and after a little hesitation, he slowly asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Dare to ask King Shengxi, what Yulou said just now is the truth?"
"No...... Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Yulou's cannon words were like a slap in the face, Yan Zheng was completely out of proportion, his eyes were erratic and he shook his head again and again, and his mouth repeated in a low voice, "There can't be such a thing, it's impossible to ......"
"Since the King of Shengxi has decided to rebel, why should he reluctantly give himself a high-sounding excuse?" Yulou's voice was unhurried, although the tone was quite flat, but in Yan Zheng's ears, the words pierced his heart like a needle, "If you can't tell you honestly, why bother to win over Lu Yifan?"
"Where did you come out of this, bastard, how dare you speak to the King of the Saint West like this? It's just looking for death!" Zhou Xin, who was standing behind Yan Zheng, couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and then he pulled out the short knife on his waist at once, and his eyes were fierce and he wanted to attack Yulou.
But before he could step forward, a long knife that had not yet been unsheathed was already between him and the jade building at some point, completely blocking Zhou Xin's way, and before Zhou Xin raised his head in surprise, he only heard Liu Sandao's cold and piercing voice already ringing in the room: "You'd better put away your knife, otherwise I'll kill your dog now!"
"Lu Yifan, what do you mean by this?" Yan Zheng couldn't help but chuckle in his heart when he saw Liu Sandao's murderous intent, and then hurriedly turned his gaze to Lu Yifan with a little confusion, and asked repeatedly, "Don't you believe in this king either?"
"Of course you thought about it, but you just didn't have a chance to start!" Without waiting for Lu Yifan to open his mouth to answer, Yulou replied preemptively, "Outside the dense forest that night, you brought a group of masters to Lu Yifan, and you originally wanted to kill Lu Yifan in order to completely intensify the conflict between Lord Lu Haoqian and the Emperor, so that you can have the opportunity to win Lord Lu Haoqian into your rebel camp." It's just that you never expected that a large number of people would come to rescue Lu Yifan from the Holy Soul Academy that night, so that you were caught off guard, and you changed your mind to Yifan in a hurry and said that you came to rescue them, and finally in order to achieve the goal of finally intensifying the conflict between the Emperor and the Lu family, you abandoned killing Lu Yifan and killed Zhao Wuyang and the Golden Silver Guard who accompanied him at that time, but it turned out that your approach was indeed effective, at least in the eyes of the original Emperor, Lu Yifan was definitely an out-and-out traitor. ”
"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense......"
"If this matter is my unbelievable words, then we might as well call His Majesty the Emperor to confront him face to face?" Facing Yan Zheng, who had been carried away by anger, Yulou smiled unhurriedly, "Lu Yifan obviously didn't kill Zhao Wuyang and them that night, but the result that the Emperor Ling got the next day was that Zhao Wuyang and the others all died tragically in the dense forest, let me ask who else was present that night in addition to Zhao Wuyang and the others, Lu Yifan and the King of the Holy West?" Even if there were, the person who could kill Zhao Wuyang and so many sergeants in such a short period of time was definitely not something that anyone could easily do, right? If there was really another group of people in the dense forest at that time, why didn't Lu Yifan and them notice it in the slightest?
"How did I know that I sent them away and then hurried back......"
"The only way to go back is the dense forest, and not long after Lu Yifan and the others left, Yin Mo, who led people around, returned to the dense forest, and when Yin Mo went back, Zhao Wuyang and the others had already been killed. That is to say, after Yifan and they left, Zhao Wuyang immediately ran into the person who killed them, and in such a short period of time, could it be that on the way back, the King of Shengxi didn't even notice the sound of fighting in the dense forest? ”
Listening to Yulou's words, Lu Yifan's brows couldn't help frowning tightly, and his mind was also rapidly recalling the scenes that happened that night. And Yan Zheng's face became more and more pale with Yulou's words, and even his lips couldn't help but tremble slightly at this moment. Yan Zheng could already clearly feel that Yulou was definitely prepared to attack himself tonight.
"There is only one reasonable explanation, that is, after Yifan and the others left, King Shengxi ordered his masters to rush into the forest and quickly kill Zhao Wuyang and others, and then left the dense forest before Yin Mo came back!" King Saint-West, I wonder if there is anything wrong with my guess?"
"Huangkou Xiaoer, do you think that you can frame this king with just your red mouth and white teeth?" Yan Zheng scolded angrily in a trembling voice, "You said yes, but this king said no!"
"What about this letter?" Before Yan Zheng's words fell, Yulou suddenly stood up with a hula, holding the letter on the table directly in front of Yan Zheng, only to see that he raised his eyebrows and raised his voice a lot, and at the same time, his face instantly became a little hideous, and he shouted aggressively and quickly, "You sent someone to attack the Lu family at night in the name of the King of Shengdong, and now it is written in black and white, and the evidence is ironclad, you don't want to deny it today!"
"Impossible!" Under Yulou's sudden questioning, Yan Zheng couldn't help but feel a burst of anger welling up in his heart, only to see him stand up suddenly without showing weakness, glaring back at Yulou viciously with a pair of old eyes, snatching the letter from Yulou's hand and pressing it on the table, and shouting angrily in his mouth, "This king has never written any letters to Xie Feng, what kind of evidence is ironclad in black and white?
Yan Zheng was panting like a bull, and after hearing his words, the hideous color on Yulou's face suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a faint smile, which made the angry Yan Zheng stunned for a moment, but before he could react to what was going on, Lu Yifan's gloomy and cold voice quietly sounded in his ears: "King Shengxi, Yulou didn't mention Xie Feng just now!"
"Boom!"
As soon as Lu Yifan said this, Yan Zheng's mind was instantly blank, and he saw his eyes staring ahead, but his eyes had long since lost their previous shrewdness, and even became a little empty and dazed. For a while, Yan Zheng was afraid that it would be difficult to find a decent reason to prevaricate his gaffe just now.
"King Shengxi, this time you are right, this letter is indeed fake!" Yu Lou looked at Yan Zheng with a solemn gaze, and slowly spit out such a sentence in his mouth, and then he tidied up his robe a little and sat back in his chair.
"Humph!"
Yan Zheng almost vomited blood in anger, only to hear a muffled snort coming from his throat, and then he saw him slowly open the letter on the table with his trembling two old hands, and what was the secret of the lines of words that instantly reflected his old eyes?
"You ......" Yan Zheng stared at Yulou unwillingly with a pair of annoyed and angry eyes, at this moment Yulou's calmness and calmness in his eyes were simply more hateful than jackals, tigers and leopards, Yan Zheng has always played with others in applause, for so many years, he has always boasted of being cautious and smart, but he never expected that he would capsize in the gutter, and he was planted in the hands of such a junior. The appearance of the Jade Tower caught Yan Zheng off guard, coupled with the gentle and unkind appearance that the Jade Tower showed before, it never made Yan Zheng take this person to heart, and the contempt for the enemy and carelessness was the thing that Yan Zheng regretted the most at the moment, "Who are you? Why do you want to harm this king?"
"I just don't want to see my friend being deceived!" Yulou said and glanced at Lu Yifan casually, "I said a long time ago that whether the King of the Saint West plotted against us or not actually has nothing to do with us, but since you want to win over the Saint West to join the gang, then you have to be honest with each other! You were too dishonest just now, so I just made it clear for Yi Fan and the King of the Saint West! Now you should have nothing to hide from each other, you can continue to talk!" After that, Yulou also made a gesture of invitation to the two of them, and then returned to his previous indifferent attitude and drank tea by himself.
Yulou's words were easy, but the question was whether there was still any talk between Lu Yifan and Yan Zheng? When Lu Yifan knew that Yan Zheng had killed the Lu family in order to defeat the Shengdong King, there was actually nothing to talk about between them.
Yan Zheng, who seemed to feel Lu Yifan's cold gaze and gradually recovered from the shock, couldn't help but slowly raise his head, a pair of eyes containing too much emotion collided directly with Lu Yifan's cold eyes, and at this moment, Lu Yifan's expression made Yan Zheng's heart cold. He even regretted it now that he came to woo Lu Yifan.
"Yifan ......" After hesitating for a long time, Yan Zheng slowly opened his mouth and said, "This king did deceive you before admitting it, and this king's rebellion plan was indeed premeditated, not temporary......
"Yan Zheng!" This is the first time Lu Yifan has called Yan Zheng by his name, "Do you know how badly you have harmed my Lu family?"
"This king did frame your Lu family, but this king did save your Lu family!" Yan Zheng desperately explained for himself, "If it weren't for this king to say good things for the Lu family, then your Lu family would have been killed by the whole family after planning to rob the law field......! Yan Zheng carefully observed Lu Yifan's expression as he spoke, for fear that Lu Yifan would have some sudden changes, so he said that he was cautious in his words, "And when you just came back from Northern Xinjiang, I helped you leave the imperial city safely." Previously, the Lu family enshrined Han Xiao's spiritual position, and it was also under my secret protection that I was not noticed by the emperor...... This king also robbed the prison to help you get out of death row, and also sent you south to entangle...... This king even promised to save Sun Xiaodie's father and daughter for you, do you remember all this?"
Although Lu Yifan hated Yan Zheng for killing people with a knife, what Yan Zheng said just now was true, if Yan Zheng didn't have any kindness to Lu Yifan, then it was not the case. Although the ultimate purpose of Yan Zheng's move was to rebel against him, no matter what, Lu Yifan had received a lot of favors from him after all. Therefore, as soon as Yan Zheng's words came out, Lu Yifan's expression became more and more tangled from the initial ruthlessness.
There have never been absolutely good people in the world, and there are no absolute evil people. It seems that this statement is not false at all.
"I know you'll hold a grudge against me because of some of this king's previous actions, it's okay!" Yan Zheng looked sincerely frightened, tears flashed in his old eyes, and his attitude was so sincere that it was easy to believe what he said, "Yifan, as long as you are willing to help this king achieve great things, I promise to let your Lu family rise again in the Holy Domain, and I guarantee that your Lu family will become the largest family in the Holy Land after the royal family!" I will crown you and Lord Lu as kings, and my status is above that of the Holy King of the Imperial Family, and I can also give you the land of the city to be controlled by you, and you will never have to obey the orders of the imperial court, what do you think of these conditions? Can you make up for the mistakes committed by this king to the Lu family?"
In the face of Yan Zheng's pleading, Lu Yifan's eyes became a little intriguing, it seemed a little ridiculous, and it seemed a little hateful.
"Ling'er is my wife, and Lord Han is my father-in-law, you let me help you lead the enemy army into the city?" Lu Yifan sneered rather disdainfully, "Is this possible?"
"I can continue to let Han Xiao sit on the throne of the Protector of the Kingdom, I promise that not only will it not be difficult for the Han family, but it will also make the Han family more official and knighted, and the status will only be higher than before, and the status will never be reduced by half a point compared to before!" Yan Zheng was still unwilling to be reconciled, and repeatedly threw out extremely generous conditions. But in the face of Lu Yifan's slightly disdainful gaze, Yan Zheng finally realized that he was just doing it in vain, and finally he sighed helplessly, and then said rather melancholy, "If you don't help me, this king won't blame you." In this case, the king only hopes that for the sake of the relationship between you and me before, tonight's incident should not have happened, and this king will definitely change his past mistakes after he goes back, and he will never mention rebellion in this life, and you should give this king a chance to reform himself, can you agree?"
"Can't!"
"Bang!"
Just as Yan Zheng's words fell, an old and determined shout suddenly came from outside the inner room. Immediately after that, the door of the inner room was violently pushed open, and then two figures in black cloaks appeared in front of Yan Zheng and Lu Yifan. And when they tore off the black scarf covering their heads, the two extremely familiar faces surprised Yan Zheng and Lu Yifan at the same time, especially for Yan Zheng, the sudden appearance of the two of them was undoubtedly equivalent to announcing that they had completely reached the end of the road.
In front of these two people, I am afraid that Yan Zheng will only have a dead end tonight!
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"
