Chapter 885: The Cause of Betrayal
"Master, our arrangements in the Huo family have all been unplugged." It was still in the woods, and a black-clothed swordsman knelt on one knee and said respectfully to the person in front of him.
Gongsun Huan wore a miserable white smiling face mask unique to the Thousand Faces Dharma King, and half of his body was hidden under the black robe like the night, he listened to the report of his subordinates, and said in a calm tone: "It seems that he is determined to win the Huo family." ”
As he spoke, he looked up at the sparse galaxy tonight, the gray mist obscuring the sky, as if there was a sense of depression that the mountain rain was coming.
"Then let's do it, since he wants to play, we naturally can't fall behind."
Gongsun Huan turned around and walked into the darkness, and the faint words floated in the forest: "Set up the platform first, make this scene lively, and save people from thinking that the face of the Xuantian Sect can be refuted casually." ”
"Yes."
The black-clothed swordsman bowed his head in response, and behind him, black shadows appeared from the darkness, and the whole forest was frightened by the birds flying high, and the trees swayed and rustled, and the whole forest seemed to come to life.
Life in prison is not divided into day and night, Huo Yunqi saw the warm sun above his head again, and even had the illusion of being in a different world.
He was woken up early in the morning by the guards, who then led him out of the prison, only to realize that the entire prison had been built underground.
Huo Yunqi, who saw the light of day again, was taken to a chic courtyard at this moment, where the houses and pavilions were all in a serious style without exception, and the monotony between black and white was extremely depressing.
The only difference is the Huanghuali table in the courtyard, the fresh fragrance of tea dilutes the solemn atmosphere and decorates it with a little peace.
The people of the Jinyi Guard sent him to the courtyard, and they all stayed outside the door, and did not enter it, Huo Yunqi frowned alone and walked forward.
He stopped at the wooden table, and an unexpected combination appeared before his eyes.
"Sir. And you, the moon is away from the wind? ”
Huo Yunqi looked at Boss Zhu Yue Lifeng who was drinking on the edge of the tea table in confusion, he looked down, his pupils suddenly contracted, and there were still a few books on the table, which were the sword casting secrets inherited by his Huo family!
Seeing these scrolls, Huo Yunqi turned to look at Boss Zhu on the side in disbelief, his first reaction was that the other party was accidentally captured by Jinyi Wei when he left the Eastern Capital, but it was obvious that the truth was not so simple.
Boss Zhu was here, without any coercion, in front of the tea case with only two seats, he happened to be sipping tea all the time, and his mixed eyes revealed a bit of relief as if he had been amnesty.
Huo Yunqi suddenly had a feeling of being ridiculous, he lowered his head and let out a self-deprecating chuckle: "Sir, it turns out that you have always been a member of Jinyiwei. ”
Boss Zhu's hand holding the tea paused slightly, his eyes were a little evasive, and he whispered after a while: "Huo Gongzi, I'm sorry." ”
Huo Yunqi looked at Boss Zhu quietly, and his tone trembled a little uncontrollably: "Sir, do you know that I have always respected you very much, because you helped the Huo family in the most difficult time, and at the same time offered me many good advice." ”
Like a rusty pipa, Huo Yunqi's voice was a little hoarse, and his lowered gaze had a kind of suppressed pain: "I originally thought that after taking control of the Eastern Capital, I would invite you to join the Huo family and serve as the elder of Keqing, why did you betray me?" ”
Boss Zhu rarely felt a little embarrassed, he had no loyalty to the Huo family from the beginning, after all, he approached Huo Yunqi because of Jinyiwei's order.
But at this moment, in the face of Huo Yunqi's questioning, he didn't dare to raise his head, although there was Jinyiwei in front of him, but it was he who designed Huo Yunqi to hand over the cheats.
The fear of Jin Yiwei made him take advantage of the other party's trust on his own initiative, and judging from the results, he just advanced the already doomed ending.
It's just that Boss Zhu at this moment can no longer push all the blame to Jinyiwei casually.
Huo Yunqi didn't yell and scream, but under his calm appearance, the pain and hatred were like stormy waves, and Boss Zhu was worried that after revealing this layer of disguise, he would not be able to bear it.
"I deserve Childe's respect and trust. I'm a businessman after all. ”
Boss Zhu put down the tea in his hand, and his somewhat timid gaze was reflected on the clear tea surface.
He took a deep breath and said calmly: "I am a mercenary person, Jinyiwei bid higher, and it is natural to take refuge in them." ”
Huo Yunqi suddenly calmed down, looking at Boss Zhu like this, he seemed to feel that it was reasonable for the other party to do such a thing.
In silence, his anger was no longer as hot as an erupting volcano, but that didn't mean he had succeeded in letting go of his hatred, he had just shifted it.
"Moon Youth."
Huo Yunqi turned his gaze to Lu Hanjiang, who had never spoken, and asked calmly: "I don't know where the Huo family offended Your Excellency, and let you arrange such a big drama at the expense of time and effort." ”
Boss Zhu's face was flushed, he finally had no place to embarrass himself, arched his hand as if begging for mercy from Lu Hanjiang, and then left in a hurry.
Lu Hanjiang didn't care about Boss Zhu's departure, made a cup of tea, slowly pushed it in front of Huo Yunqi, and then said, "What does Huo Gongzi think?" ”
Huo Yunqi lowered his eyes and glanced at the tea, raised his head to look into the distance, and said indifferently: "Extraneous branches, this is too much." ”
"Oh? How? Lu Hanjiang asked with interest.
Huo Yunqi said coldly: "The power of the Huo family's micro end, to Jinyiwei, is like a firefly compared to the moon, Your Excellency has countless ways to get the secret method of forging a sword, but you just used this most troublesome one, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”
"Not necessarily."
Lu Hanjiang said with some disapproval: "I think that such an ending is just right for Huo Gongzi and the Huo family, the reincarnation of heaven, and the retribution is unhappy, it should be said like this, right?" ”
Huo Yunqi sneered: "Your Excellency is really good at laughing, but this should be returned to Your Excellency." ”
Lu Hanjiang didn't care about Huo Yunqi's hateful response, he leisurely sipped the tea, and after fiddling with it for himself, he suddenly asked, "Huo Gongzi, do you know Liujia Village?" ”
Huo Yunqi frowned: "I don't know." ”
Lu Hanjiang bowed slightly, and said: "In that case, then Huo Gongzi still remembers the former owner of the recast sword in the Huo family's sword furnace?" ”
This circumambulation made Huo Yunqi's brows furrow deeper and deeper, and he said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency is talking about Miss Ah Lan?" In Sword Forge Villa, I have had a few encounters with her, and I naturally remember it, but now that she has no news, and the moon shadow is broken, I am afraid that it is more than lucky. ”
Lu Hanjiang chuckled and said: "The Zhong family behind Miss Ah Lan has an old friendship with the Huo family, and Huo Gongzi is probably a little unkind when he talks like this." ”
"What do you mean?" Huo Yunqi's eyes widened slightly, and his gaffe couldn't be hidden at all.
Lu Hanjiang was stunned for no reason when he saw the other party's big reaction, and then the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened: "Ha, it turns out that Huo Gongzi knows, this is really interesting, I thought that the Huo family who knew about this was dead." ”
