In order to find out the news of Ling Yun, Du Zhenghai came to the Hou Ye's Mansion by moonlight and saw He Yuting in the study.

Du Zhenghai's eyes tightened, and his voice was low: "Tell me, where is he?" ”

"I've locked him up." He Yuting's originally expressionless face revealed a cold color like ice, "He came to the mansion to look for me that night, hoping that I could help him find out the prince's case and show his grievances for Lu Wenzheng——

"Alas, this kid is so naïve! Do you think, Lu Wenzheng is suspected of murdering the crown prince, and he is heinous, if anyone stands up for him, will he not be killing himself? And I know Zhichao's character very well, so I ......"

Du Zhenghai's sword eyebrows raised, "So you used some indiscriminate means to imprison him?" ”

He Yuting's face tightened, and his eyes as deep as a pool of water became more and more gloomy. He pursed his lips and didn't speak, just nodded silently.

There was a faint red under Du Zhenghai's eyes, hiding a bloodthirsty murderous intention. The long sword in his hand pressed inward and said, "Then bother Lord He to accompany me to release him!" ”

Facing the long sword that was pressing in his heart and spitting cold light, He Yuting sighed helplessly.

He slowly stood up from behind the bookcase and pushed the chair behind him. Suddenly, hearing the sound of thunder and thunder, several bows and arrows had been shot out from the front of the back of the chair, divided into three ways: head, chest and abdomen, and flew straight towards Du Zhenghai!

Du Zhenghai naturally never dreamed that there was a mechanism on the chair, so he was caught off guard for a while, and hurriedly flashed his figure in a hurry; At the same time, as soon as the long sword was collected, "the north wind blew the snow", and after a few clicks, several random arrows had already landed.

He Yuting took advantage of the situation to get rid of Du Zhenghai's hijacking at this time, took a few steps back, and shouted: "Come on, catch the assassin quickly!" ”

As soon as the door opened, He Luwei broke in with several guards, holding a sword to surround Du Zhenghai.

Du Zhenghai scolded: "He Yuting, you are so despicable! ”

He Yuting sneered: "Despicable? Hmph, in this world, does He still care about being scolded two more times? ”

He glanced at He Luwei and said, "But speaking of which, I have to thank the housekeeper!" - If it weren't for the housekeeper who took precautions and designed such a mechanism in advance to ensure the safety of the palace, I really don't know who the unlucky person would be today? It's called prevention. ”

He Luwei smiled lightly and said, "Master Hou is serious. ”

Du Zhenghai snorted and said, "It's really a cunning rabbit." ”

He Yuting smiled: "You are right. Du Zhenghai, do you know what you are wrong, in fact, you are the same as Zhichao's stupid boy, you are all wrong because you are scheming and simple-minded, you trust others too much, and you are too inconsiderate in doing things yourself! ”

"How can we compare with your scheming and vicious Lord He?"

Du Zhenghai's eyes were scarlet, his hatred was frosty, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I admit that we are scheming and simple-minded, and we don't think about things; Otherwise, it won't be like you and Lord He, even your own son has to be calculated, without a little human touch, it is simply an extinction of human nature, pigs and dogs are not as good! ”

Listening to Du Zhenghai's shocking words, He Yuting's heart felt as if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and he was only out of breath in pain. His face was pale, his lips trembled, and he was speechless for a moment.

He Luwei's eyes were turbulent, "Master Hou, this kind of person is stubborn and crazy, what do you say to him, don't take him down immediately!" ”

He Yuting nodded Muran.

He Luwei gave an order, and dozens of guards stepped forward and surrounded Du Zhenghai. For a while, there was a fierce fight......

The night, like a lingering shadow covering the dark sky, poured out a suffocating breath, and the whole world seemed to flow with damp oppression.

Countless remnant stars want to break through the darkness of the night and escape; The night damp slowly drenched the air, filling the air with a sad atmosphere.

Ling Yun felt as if he had experienced an endless nightmare, and when he woke up from the nightmare, his mind was still groggy, and it was difficult to return to reality from the dream for a long time.

At that moment, he heard a low, cold laugh in his ears.

He slowly opened his eyes, and in a trance, he felt a figure in front of him shaking. Gradually, it became clear, and he found out that the person was actually Li Ruiyun!

He only felt that his brain was excited, and he immediately sobered up, and he fixed his mind to take a closer look, and sure enough, it was him.

Then he felt that something was wrong with his body. When I looked down, I saw that my two wrists were separated, firmly encased in the chains of the wall; His feet are also locked with thumb-sized vajra chains.

And more than a dozen big holes on his body are all restrained; He tried to run the internal force, only to feel that the acupuncture points up and down his body were blocked, and the true qi was blocked, and he couldn't move a bit. He closed his eyes in despair.

Li Ruiyun's sharp eyes like a falcon looked him up and down, and his eyes were full of playfulness and inquiring mockery.

"Lingyun, you don't have to waste your efforts, your whole body's acupoints are controlled with heavy techniques, and the chain that locks you is also the world's first-class Vajra chain, you can't even move a finger now! - Hmph, Lingyun, I didn't expect it, you will also fall into my hands one day! Hahaha......"

He laughed as he spoke. The cold laughter rippled layer by layer like deep water waves, which made people feel sad and chilled, and they felt chills from their hearts.

Ling Yun opened his eyes and said expressionlessly, "What kind of place is this?" ”

Li Ruiyun said: "Qinglong Villa, ten miles outside the capital. ”

"Blue Dragon Villa? ......" Ling Yun repeated the name.

He knew that Qinglong Villa was the place where the Heavenly Owl General Altar was located, that is, the nest of the Heavenly Owl Organization, so he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart and muttered, "Why am I here?" ……”

Li Ruiyun said: "I have to thank your father for this!" He took into account the overall situation, killed his relatives in righteousness, and personally sent his son here. ”

Ling Yun's heart trembled, what happened a few days ago flashed in his mind like an overelectricity, and his originally pale face turned even whiter.

Li Ruiyun watched intently at the change in his face, "Do you want to know what happened?" ”

Ling Yun didn't speak.

Li Ruiyun said: "Actually, He Yuting and I have been cooperating for a long time. As for the death of the crown prince and the fall and imprisonment of Lu Wenzheng, they are inextricably linked to He Yuting; It can also be said that Lord He has also contributed to these things!

"It's just that the adults are not very strong-willed; In order to strengthen his sincerity in cooperating with us, and of course to catch you and remove the obstacles to our nation-building plan, we made this decision, first hijacking He Tianci, the little prince of the Hou Ye Mansion, and the lord of Huanyu County, and then using this as a threat, of course, the condition is to exchange you Ling Yun - the eldest son of the Hou Ye Mansion! ”

Speaking slowly, Li Ruiyun glanced at Ling Yun again, "After listening to my words, I don't know how the eldest prince feels now?" ”

Ling Yun snorted disdainfully.

Li Ruiyun said: "What, does the eldest prince still have any doubts?" ”

Ling Yun's originally cold and calm voice was low and hoarse at this time, "It's not that I have doubts, but I don't believe it at all." ”

"Oh? Why? Li Ruiyun looked at him with some confusion.

The expression on Ling Yun's face was silent and sad, as if he was trying his best to restrain and forbear, and as if he was completely falling.

It took a long time to hear his broken voice, "Now even fathers can deceive and betray their sons—hmph, what do you think there is anything else in this world that I can believe?" ”

Li Ruiyun looked at his emotionally collapsed appearance, and couldn't help laughing, his face was full of wantonness, "Lingyun, you are very sad and desperate now, aren't you?" ”

Ling Yun didn't answer, and closed his eyes again.

He remembered the caring eyes of the evergreen princess, the warm and considerate affection; Thinking of He Yuting's amiable smile and meaningful words, I felt that my heart was cold to the bottom. Is it all fake?

He remembered that before he returned home, he had told Du Zhenghai about the idea of going home to see, and Du Zhenghai had persuaded him in a cold tone not to trust anyone easily...... At the time, he didn't think so, but now it seems that all this was a mistake in his own judgment?

Li Ruiyun saw that Ling Yun's face was pale and he didn't speak for a long time, knowing that he was in great pain in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh softly and said, "I understand the mood of the eldest prince at this time—say, what else do you have to say now?" ”

Ling Yun came back to his senses from the pain. His eyes were slightly red, as if unwilling and desperate, and he smiled bitterly: "What else do I have to say now?" If it falls into your hands, there is only death, whether it is killing or chopping, listen to it. ”

Li Ruiyun's expression distorted for a moment, and then he laughed disapprovingly, "What a heroic spirit that regards death as home, Li admires." But Ling Yun, you seem to have misunderstood what Li meant, Li didn't mean to hurt you from beginning to end!

"There is a good saying, 'those who know the times are Junjie', now that the prince is dead, Lu Wenzheng has also fallen, He Yuting and Ding Jinzhi and other important ministers in the court have probably served my heavenly owl, and the Great Song Dynasty is already in danger - the eldest prince is talented and strategic, shrewd and wise, and he will not even be unable to understand this simple truth!"

Ling Yun said coldly: "Ling Yun is stupid and doesn't understand what Gang Leader Li means. ”

Li Ruiyun rolled his eyes at him, and his tone was a little narrow, "Lingyun, why do you pretend to be confused?" My Tianxiao is now in full swing, and the whole of China will be our world in the next step - as long as the eldest prince can change his mind, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and assist my Tianxiao to achieve great causes, Li not only ignores the past suspicions, but also can protect the eldest prince's high-ranking officials, glory and wealth, which is a hundred times more beautiful than when he was the commander of the guards of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department and the horse of the court - I don't know what the eldest prince thinks? ”

Ling Yun tilted his head slightly, and said in a cold voice: "You mean that I want to betray the imperial court and take refuge in your Tianxiao?" ”

"Eldest prince, I have to correct what you said, now it is the Great Song Dynasty that has abandoned you, not that you have betrayed the Great Song Dynasty." Li Ruiyun raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled.

His eyes instantly became sharp, as if there was a hidden knife, scratching his heart one by one.

"A few days ago, they first framed you for allegedly murdering the prince, and then framed you for colluding with thieves, killing people and escaping from prison, and drew pictures to want you everywhere, forcing you to be cornered - what can you do if you don't care about me now?"
