"Hehe, I watched it with my own eyes, supervised the execution, and specially verified, after talking about it for a long time, it seems that the things of that day were done without leakage and seamlessly, but what is the final result, isn't Ling Yun still alive and well - is this Ling Yun a god, can he come back from the dead?"

Listening to Li Zhishan's words of defense, the corners of Li Ruiyun's mouth twitched, and his eyelashes were full of ridicule.

Li Zhishan was choked for a moment and hung his head in fear.

Ding Jinzhi's brows furrowed, thoughtful; At this time, he hurriedly took over the conversation, "I think this matter is just an accident, and we have been loyal to Li Gongzi from beginning to end——"

Li Ruiyun said: "Of course I believe in your loyalty, but the ironclad facts are here, and what I need now is the truth." ”

"This ......" Ding Jinzhi's face sneered, his mouth opened for a moment, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he was suffocated in his throat.

The White Feather Daoist narrowed his eyes slightly, and his originally gloomy face was even sharper at this time, "Do you remember when you sent Sun Guoxiong to escort Ling Yun's coffin out of the city, was kidnapped?" ”

"Lian Nanchun? ......" Li Ruiyun's eyes condensed slightly, and blurted out.

Bai Yu continued: "According to the characteristics they described, it should be this woman who accompanied Ling Yun to the Hou Ye's Mansion, so ......"

"So Ling Yun was able to escape death right under our noses, and nine times out of ten, this woman was also responsible for it." Li Ruiyun took over the topic in a timely manner, "And the external attack must be responded to internally, and there must be someone inside to cooperate with this woman's actions - but who is this internal traitor?" ”

He turned his face to Li Zhishan and Ding Jinzhi on the side, and there was an awe-inspiring sharpness in his eyes, "I am limited to the two of you to find out the cause and effect of the matter within three days, otherwise you will come and see you!" ”

Li Zhishan and Ding Jinzhi were at fault first, and they were weak-hearted, so they only agreed repeatedly, not daring to say a word, and gently wiping the cold sweat on their foreheads, while trembling and retreating.

Li Ruiyun left the bookcase, paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "Now that we are in the light and Lingyun is in the dark, the situation is very unfavorable to us. Dao Chief, what do you think their next move will be? ”

Bai Yu Taoist said: "Things are complicated, and now Ling Yun and Lian Nanchun are in cahoots, and they are used to attacking the west, so it is difficult to speculate with common sense. However, Poor Dao thought that the first thing now was to further strengthen the vigilance and guards in various parts of the capital, especially at each important pass, and set up more men and horses to defend them, so as to respond to all changes. ”

Li Ruiyun nodded approvingly, "What the Dao Chief said is extremely true. Dao Chief, you are the most relied on person in this palace, why don't you hand over this important task to you, and you will lead the heavy troops to guard the capital, how about it? ”

Bai Yu said: "The helper is trusted, and the poor morality is duty-bound, and he must do his best to complete the tasks assigned by the helper, and live up to the mission!" ”

Li Ruiyun's eyes were full of trust and expectation, and he said emotionally: "In this way, everything depends on the Taoist." ”

"What are you doing with me? Your business is my business, as long as it is for the sake of helping the master, even if you let Poor Dao die, Poor Dao is willing and has no complaints. Speaking of which, Bai Yu's voice was a little hoarse.

"Dao Chief—" Looking at the misty eyes of the White Feather Daoist, Li Ruiyun's heart throbbed unconsciously, and his throat choked unconsciously.

He lowered his eyes and hesitated; Then he slowly raised his head, Yu Yu looked at Bai Yu, "There is something that has been stuffed in my heart for many years, can I say it now?" ”

"What's the matter?" Bai Yu's face was calm.

Li Ruiyun glanced back at the attendants on both sides, "You all retreat first." ”

The attendants bowed their eyebrows and went out. There were only two people in the imperial study, Li Ruiyun and Bai Yu Daoist.

Li Ruiyun pursed the corners of his lips lightly and said, "There is no one else here, Dao Chief, you tell me the truth, what are the rumors that used to be rumors...... Are you sure? ”

"What rumors?" Bai Yu's face was dark, and his eyes seemed to be covered with thick ink that could not be dissolved.

"I'm still pretending to be confused, but I'm really calm!" Li Ruiyun couldn't help but roll his eyes, and complained in his heart, "Since you don't want to mention those things, then I have to pierce this layer of window paper." ”

He turned his face to look at the gloomy scenery outside the window, his long narrow eyes were empty and distant, as if he was taking care of himself: "A few years ago, there was a ranger who smiled proudly in the rivers and lakes, and he fell in love with a woman as a childhood sweetheart, so he made a private decision for life.

But he was young and vigorous, and he was so brave and fierce that he missed in an armed brawl and put people to death. In order to avoid the arrest of the government, he had to leave his hometown, and later became a Taoist priest.

"And the infatuated woman gave birth to a son a few months after she left, but the poor thing is that she died of a blood collapse after giving birth......"

Speaking of this, Li Ruiyun turned his face back, and his gloomy gaze was fixed on Bai Yu's face, "I don't know if the Dao Chief has heard of this matter?" ”

"I've heard of it." Bai Yu's Adam's apple slid slightly, and there was no trace of emotion in his faint voice, "I don't understand, what is the helper doing at this time when he suddenly mentions these things?" ”

"Dao Chief...... Li Ruiyun's breathing suddenly became lighter, his back rose and fell, as if he was trying his best to resist the inner impulse that erupted like a volcano, "Don't you really understand the purpose of me saying these things?" Could it be that the Taoist really didn't know who the ranger and the girl were giving birth to? ”

"Helper." Bai Yu's eyes looking at him were complicated and difficult to discern, and the muscles on his face were also twitching faintly. He lowered his eyes and calmed his somewhat disordered mind for a moment; When he looked up again, his expression returned to his usual calm.

"These are extraordinary times, the situation is ever-changing, and once there is any mistake, it may destroy the hard work we have made for many years and the foundation that we have built with great difficulty; At this time, you really shouldn't be entangled in these mothers-in-law, mothers, and children.

"And it's been so many years, it's been a long time coming, things are wrong, what's the use of mentioning these again? In addition to adding a lot of unnecessary troubles, what can we do in vain to waste our entanglements with each other? ”

In other words, the Taoist chief didn't deny those things back then? If what I said is correct, that brave and ruthless ranger is the Taoist, and that kid is ......" Li Ruiyun looked at the other party in a daze, his eyes surging with indescribable complexity and excitement.

"Helper!" Bai Yu interrupted him again. His eyes were slightly gloomy, and he was trying his best to restrain the surging emotions in his heart, "I said it just now, don't mention the past; The first thing to do now is to find out the spies as soon as possible and purge us of the cancer within us. As for the rest, it will be a long time to come, and we can talk about it later. ”

Li Ruiyun's facial features stiffened for a moment, a layer of dark clouds condensed in his pupils, and he did not speak; After a moment, he returned to his original depression, "Dao Chang is reasonable, these things can be discussed later, but I still won't give up pursuing the truth of this matter." ”

"Hehe, the helper is really persistent; However, in these places, I feel that the helper is becoming more and more like Lingyun. The White Feather Daoist glanced at him with a pair of smiling eyes.

"Well said, why mention him again?" Li Ruiyun narrowed his eyes and was full of anger.

As soon as he thought of being tricked by Ling Yun and Lian Nanchun again, he gritted his teeth with hatred, "If it weren't for that damn traitor, I don't think Ling Yun would have been able to escape this catastrophe, so this matter must not be let go!" Although the investigation and punishment of the traitor has been handed over to Li Zhishan and Ding Jinzhi, I still don't feel at ease, so I have to bother the Taoist chief to follow up. “

"It's nature. Rest assured, it's easy to find out about this matter, and that spy won't be able to escape! Bai Yu's eyes flashed with a frenzied light, full of confidence that was bound to be won.

Li Ruiyun smiled quietly and lightly, "I hope so." ”

The sun outside was obscured by the black clouds swimming at some point, and the sky was inexplicably overcast, leaving only a little dim yellow and red light, slowly brightening up from the cracks penetrated by the black clouds, entwining and confusing people's senses.

Light and shadow chase each other.

In fact, Bai Yu Daoist Fang Cai's words could only be regarded as half right.

First of all, it is indeed not difficult to find out the affairs of the spy. Because the people who went to the prison that day, except for Li Zhishan and Ding Jinzhi, were more than a dozen cronies and Ding guards who followed them, and there were just so many people who went over and over again, and they quickly locked on the target: the spy who colluded with Lian Nanchun and helped Ling Yun escape was Ding Xin, the family member of the Ding Mansion who followed Ding Jinzhi at that time!

Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Li Ruiyun's eyes turned from black to bloodthirsty red, and the strong hatred in his heart was overlaid, if Ding Xin stood in front of him, he would immediately skin him and vent his anger.

"Bring me Ding Xin immediately!" ……
